Threat Hero Notes
1
Glaive Do you really need to be scared of his Afterburn? Sure he stuns you but you can make up your lost health in a snap.
1
Ardan Yay free weakness stacks
1
Alpha Kill if she attacks you.
1
Ozo Really... He can't fight Krul without a partner so he's dead meat once you get him.
2
Phinn Kill his teammates, then kill him.
2
Adagio His Ult. Is the only thing that can really hurt Krul.
2
Blackfeather Just don't run away.
3
Kestrel Hit her once so she can't use Active Camo and then rush in to finish her.
3
Koshka She can burst you, but she can't hold her own if you stun her.
4
Ringo Okay I do have some trouble with Ringo but just hit him fast and make sure he doesn't escape.
4
Lance Beware of Shield.
4
Lyra Attack her when she's alone and open. Watch out for her Bright Bulwark.
5
Rona Hit faster than she can and you'll be fine.
6
Catherine She can bounce back incredibly well, wait for her shield to go down then attack.
7
Reim Ah Reim, just take him early game so he can't build as fast, and rush him, smite him, then throw the sword.
7
Joule Why is Joule here you ask? Her Ult that's why.
8
Taka When he goes poof he can murder you in seconds, watch out.
8
Samuel A new face on the Halcyon Fold, Samuel can dominate Krul before he even touches Samuel. Bait out his Drifting Dark then go in the kill, don't let him escape!
9
Krul Hit faster, harder, and smite all 8 stacks before using your spectral smite. Outlast him.
10
SAW SAW, Vox, Skye, and Skarff are deadly if you let them hit you too much, aim for them in team fights then move on to the others.

Abilities Top

Krul is empowered by the shadows after standing still in brush for 1.5 seconds. Once empowered, Krul briefly gains 2 move speed and his next basic attack will slow the target by 40% for 3 seconds.


This is deadly when paired with Dead Man's Rush, suprise the enemy laner early game and be sure to make it a quick and easy kill. Get out of there of the enemy is too close to the turrenr or if you killed the enemy hero.

Krul dashes to the target, deals damage and applies basic-attack effects. Activating Dead Man's Rush grants Krul a health barrier for 2.5 seconds.


When 1 v 1-Ing an enemy hero, always use this ability unless low on health. Spectral Smite's stacks WILL NOT go down as long as you are hitting your enemy. Only use Spectrel Smite if you're low on health.

Passive: Basic attacks & abilities apply Weakness for 4 seconds (up to 8 stacks). Each stack reduces the target's damage by 6.2% and increases Krul's lifesteal against the weakened target.
Activate: Detonate the stacks to deal damage and regain health based on the number of stacks consumed.


-See Dead Man's Rush entry-

Krul pulls Hellrazor from his chest and hurls it in the targeted direction. The sword will boomerang back to Krul after reaching max range. If the sword hits an enemy hero, it deals damage and stuns, then slows the target. Damage and stun duration scales with the distance the sword traveled before hitting the target. (50% at point blank range, 100% at max range and up to 150% at 'boomerang' range).


Use this sword to stun fleeing enemies, trick shot heroes, and preform the infamous "Boomarang Blade" (Well I call it that) where you purposely throw your sword the wrong way, rush an enemy and let the sword hit them for a seemingly eternal stun.

Recommended Steps Top

Step 1:
Build to the Sorrowblade first then buy Sprint Boots.

Step 2:
Go for the Tornado Trigger then the Serpent Mask.

Step 3:
Finish the boots, then build to a Breaking Point.

Step 4:
The last item slot is up to you. If going against a Krul go for an Atlas Pauldron. A Reim, Aegis Etc.

Synergy Top

These are the heroes that in my opinion work best with Krul.
  • Taka
  • Lyra
  • Lance
  • SAW
  • Ringo
  • Adagio
  • Ardan
  • Rona (in a pinch)
  • Reim
