 Blackfeather Obvious winner is...
3
 Celeste Don't fail to kill her and get an aegis to block her stun.
3
 Alpha You will win and if she goes into reboot she is actually HELPING u cause u will still lifesteal and she is after all still a hero so... free breaking point stacks! If she use ult counter with dead man rush (probably ur health will be high enough to survive with the barrier), if she build CP buy aegis and reflex it
3
 SAW Definitely can't kite u (his spin up stacks make him way too slow. Prioritise him in teamfight unless there is glaive or joule there too. If he uses suppressing fire, stun him so that he can't get the stacks.
4
 Reim U r a greater 1v1 duelist than him. Don't retreat unless he brought backup or ur health is so much damn lower than his that he can one-hit u.
4
 Baron He can't really kite u due to his slow speed but he can easily get away with his jump jets. If he build CP Smite him when he tries to jump, if he builds WP, just Smite him the moment u see that u can kill him With it.
5
 Glaive U will win if u one v one him (duh!) but make sure that in teamfights Attack him first
5
 Lyra If u r chasing an enemy and she comes by to put a Sigil at the enemy, just stop chasing. It's gonna end up with u dead anyway (unless they r noob)
5
 Krul If there is another Krul on the enemy team, replace the final item with a poisoned shiv (to reduce the other Krul's lifesteal) or an atlas pauldron (to reduce the other Krul's lifesteal)
6
 Koshka Her stun is ur death in a teamfight
6
 Taka He can escape u easily. If he stealthed immediately throw ur sword. Also, his mortal wound in teamfights makes u lifesteal less.
6
 Joule U can 1v1 WP joule, but CP joule can burst u down in the back line. If she is CP prioritise her (unless it is glaive). Her stun can mean ur death in a teamfight too as u can't lifesteal while stunned
6
 Samuel He kites... watch out
7
 Vox He is so mobile that he can kite u to the end of the world. Engage only if his energy bar is Low or he will keep on using sonic zoom to avoid u
7
 Gwen Also good kiter. She can escape ur grasp easily with Skedaddle so don't throw ur sword unless she used it.
8
 Kestrel WP kestrel can kite u, also can stealth anytime she wants so she can kinda get away from u.
9
 Petal Extremely good kiter too. For GOD's sake fling that sword of urs and don't get kited.
10
 Skye #Kitequeennumber1 If u don't want to be kited u have to sneak Attack her

Firstly... Top

If u can't get any good thing from this guide it means ur playstyle doesn't suit the build she and tactics shown in this guide. If u not good at Krul or u don't know how to build him u have come to the right place. Now SCROOOOOOOOOOOOLL down.

Krul is an unstoppable death machine...in the right iPad owner's hands Top

Krul is the guy u don't want to solo. If ur brain is smaller than a pea or if u r just a noob u would try to one v one him late game. Krul is extremely vulnerable to kiters (this is not 1v1), so watch out if they try to kite u and avoid it. If u use Krul and ur good at him everyone will avoid u (maybe even ur allies). Just Ensure u don't get invaded early game. If u hate enemy Glaives or Joules than pick this crippled dude and make them wish they never played the game.

Krul Top

Hero name: Krul
Role: Warrior (Jungler)
Attack type: melee
Strengths: Extremly high sustainability
Weaknesses: lack of range leading to being kited, prone to stuns and bursts
Current position: Best 1v1 duelist

Krul, the zombie-pirate who should be avoided Top

Here's something for u:

If you're Krul, u can one v one
Just build up stacks and Smite them and you'll be done
Cause Krul is the one v one master
Everyone who tries to solo u will need a kabillion plasters
Sorry that one didn't really rhyme
But Krul is the one who can beat that Reim

YEA!!!

Okay, so u r the one v one legend, and everyone should avoid u right? However, in early game, those like Rona or Koshka or Ozo can solo u, so beware. Try to get a tornado trigger before trying to solo these heroes. U r best at lvl 9+, or when u get that second TT. I've literally made a Glaive hit me with Afterburn then sprinting away when I walked past him.

Abilities Top

Krul's abilities are very important. By knowing their potential, u have already won half the battle (especially the Smite).

Shadows Empower Me (Heroic Perk): When Krul stands still in brush for 1.5 seconds, he gains bonus 2 move speed for 3 seconds and his next basic Attack will apply a brief slow to the target. This ability helps u to chase or surprise Attack.

Dead Man's Rush (A): Krul dashes to the enemy, deals damage, and applies basic Attack effects. Does WP damage unless u build CP. Using this ability also grants Krul a temporary health barrier.

Spectral Smite (B): Passively, Krul's basic attacks grant weakness stacks on the enemy (max 8), reducing their damage by 6.2% and increasing Krul's lifesteal against them. Activating this ability smites the enemy, dealing damage and healing Krul based on the number of stacks already on the target. Consumes all stacks on activation. Use the Smite to execute enemies and THIS is what makes Krul the 1v1 master.

From Hell's Heart (Ult): Krul hurls Hellrazor in the targeted direction, damaging and stunning the first hero it hits, slowing that hero after the stun is over. After reaching max range, the sword boomerangs back to Krul. Stun duration depends on how far the sword has traveled before hitting the target. Use to chase fleeing enemies, cancel ults or engage with kiters or slippery enemies.

Item explanation Top

I have tested this build for a lot of PvP matches I have played with Krul, and this build was proved to be the dominator build. It made Krul able to one v one anything, even the Kraken and even a TURRET (really, not kidding!). So the words u r about to see below are the reasons why this build can make Krul the ultimate duelist.

The two TTs make Krul build stacks EXTREMELY fast. The breaking point makes ur basic Attack damage higher, making ur lifesteal higher as well. The sorrowblade is for a higher base WP so that breaking point will be more effective. The boot is for, well... chasing or running and the final item is situational.

Finally, I know some Krul players use Bonesaw, but when I played this build against a bonesaw build Krul I won.

If u don't understand just ask me in the comments.

Ability tactics Top

And then when u slam that Koshka with ur sword when she was about to use her ult on u, all her allies begin raging on u. Then u kill all of them and watch them plummet into the ground pathetically and u begin to have a red aura on u. >:D

Dead Man's Rush: Don't give a damn when u use this ability on ur enemy. When ur enemy starts retreating or when u r under pressure, press the creepy hand and ur health barrier and the movement will serve u well. Also, if ur captain put mines around, slap this ability on a jungle monster and then chase that fleeing coward.

Spectral Smite: This is the executing move. Only Smite when Mr. Enemy is definitely going to die from this move or if that blue bar is starting to shrink on ur iPad (don't Smite when the bar is completely gone cause u will be too un-undead to do it).

From Hell's Heart: Throw it when u r chasing. Also, to stun a guy Long enough for u to finish him off without losing any HP, throw ur sword not directly at the hero, but in between his escape path and himself. Then, use dead man rush to get to the enemy so ur sword will hit.

With all this tactics, u will make the enemy break their iPad in half.

Teamwork!!! Top

Heroes great with Krul:

1. KoshKrul ( Koshka and Krul): Is that Gwen getting away from u? Or is that Skye trying to kite u and succeeding? Well, then have ur Koshka jump in and stun the guy so u can kill him.

2. FlicKrul ( Flicker and Krul: Flicker can seriously slow the enemy so u can easily catch them.

3. Phinn and Krul: If the enemy(s) runs, Phinn can pull them back then stun me there for u.

4. Blackfeather and Krul: Blackfeather can slow enemies with On Point for u.

Dos and Don'ts Top

Some things to do to make ur enemy rage quit and Don'ts that make ur enemy love and honor u for feeding them.

Dos:
1. Smite the enemy only if u r about to die or the enemy is about to die.
2. Throw ur sword at the enemy if he tries to kite u.
3. UNLEASH the Kraken!!!
4. Ensure u always sneak Attack the laner (cause most of me can kite u)
5. Play safe in early game.
6. Only turret dive on the carry if they have full weakness stacks and u have Spectral Smite ready.
7. If u don't have a captain, take the front line.

Don'ts (unless u want to be honored by the enemy but dishonored by ur allies and possibly be banned)
1. Never Smite an enemy with no stacks (I've seen players do that, and they suck)
2. Never turret dive on the jungler (most junglers have abilities that move them away from u or create a distance between him and u. The only jungler without such abilities is Reim, but he can sustain himself via fortified health).
3. Don't get tricked by that Samuel or whatever hero to be kited.
4. Never invade enemy jungle early game.

In battle as, with or against Krul... Top

When playing...

As Krul, play safe early and go head on late game. Don't get kited and Ensure u maximise 8 weakness stacks on the enemy until the Smite is guaranteed to kill.

As an ally to Krul...

As the carry, help Krul stop those kiters from killing him and teach them a lesson on trying to kill ur mates.
As the second jungler, help Krul chase fleeing foes and kill those pressuring him. If u r an early game jungler, u r his Guardian in the early game.
As the captain, do anything at ur hand to get Krul to his enemy. Stun, slow, anything like that.

Against Krul...

As the carry, never fight Krul head on. Try to kite him and don't let him touch u. Utilise a reflex block to block the stun.
As the jungler, KILL Krul early if u r an early game jungler, and try not to tackle Krul head on alone, or u will die.
As the captain, STUN, SLOW, DO ANYTHING TO STOP HIM!!!

Krul trivia Top

1. If Krul dies while his sword is airborne, the death animation will not show the sword until it returns to him.
2. Using ur ult enlarges the sword.
3. A Krul can build stacks onto an enemy Krul's current stacks! (for example, if the enemy Krul has built 5 stacks on a neutral jungle Monster, if ur team's Krul comes in and attacks the same jungle Monster, the weakness stacks become six instead!)
4. Krul's sword is stuck through his chest.
5. Krul is the only undead character.

Conclude this Top

Krul is great. Use him. Don't say that u can't even use Krul. If u know how to use him he is totally OP. Great for people who rely more on sustainability than on timing and aiming.
