Goals Top

First of all, the goal of this build is to cram as many stacks of Spectral Smite as possible in the the shortest ammount of time, and the detonate them. Enemy slowing perks ( Shadows Empower Me) or abilities ( From Hell's Heart) will help greatly. Items such Frostburn and Clockwork are an important part of this build. And of course, Defense is recommended as part of standard tanking. I recommend Aegis over Metal Jacket because of the bonus health.

Beginning to Mid-Game Top

Your main goal is always jungling. However, if you find that your Lane is having trouble pushing, you can always sneak in for a kill. However, do not get stuck in a prolonged battle, or else enemy reinforcements may appear. As soon as the enemy Lane backs off, go back to jungling. It is critical to control the gold mine. However, I do not recommend boots as part of your strategy, since the goal of this build is to withstand damage, not create bursts and run.

Team Strategy for Mid-Game Top

If you are playing with an assassin on your team ie. Taka or Koshka do not compete with them for gold. Krul is rather low maintenance, and only needs a base of Tornado Trigger and a defense item. The gold that goes to your Assassin will pay off later when you are trying to sneak up on the lane. Be sure to help watch your own lane when he/she pushes. They are most vulnerable to ganks when they push you may want to play strategically with consumables such as Scout Trap and Flare Gun A common mistake is simply charging towards the enemy side to see if they are there during an attack on the gold mine. Flares will agitate the enemy into movement, allowing for targeting.

End Game Top

You may want to create a Bonesaw for the last two turrets, and just charge in alone, as long as the enemy is busy with other things. If you are losing, never split from the rest of your team unless you are sure they aren't hiding near your base. And if you are on your last two turrets, have an ally guard the base. And don't be distracted by the Kraken if victory is near! it's dangerous to go alone, so take your allies.

Nothing Interesting Top

I have won almost 200 matches as of October 2015, and this is my first guide. My primary characters are Kurl and Taka. I love a good support and hate an annoying ping spammer. My username is RedDragon2002.
