Taka Don't get this guy go away your sight. Stun him if necessary. If you've built enough defense items, really, his X Retsu is not that effective tbh.

Glaive Sometimes you just need an Atlas to kill this cat.

Kestrel Don't get kited by her B and getting stunned by her A. Use vision items to track her down.

Krul The faster the attack speed, the better. For me, it does not matter who attacks first, it's the items they have.

Petal Watch out for the munions. Try not to run away from her, instead, use your ULT to lock her down. If ULT is not available, just pray that she doesn't run and kite you. Also, try to run around her and suprised her at the back.

Introduction Top

Hello, my name is SHEM. In this guide, I will be explaining my
I. Thoughts
II. Understanding to Krul's Abilities/Skills
III. Item Builds
on Krul, the 1v1 God.

I. Thoughts Top

Krul, who's from the lore, is an undead warrior. In playing games as Krul, if item-built correctly, he could manage to fight a 1v1, 1v2, or a 1v3 situation, and possibly could still win the fight. He's a late game hero, even though he is not that weak in the early game and could still kill enemies, I still relay on farming gold until I got my first finished item or getting my ULT . Krul is also good in ganking, suprising them on their backs. But one thing that I noticed is he can be easily be kited, knowing by the fact that Krul needs to stay on a single target to reach his full potential, he is not good at enemy kiters.

Krul's Abilities/Skills Top

Dead Man's Rush. Activating Dead Man's Rush to an enemy unit will make Krul gain bonus movement for about a second while charging to the enemy and dealing damage. While he holds their throat (according to the lore) Krul will also gain health barrier for a couple of second after activating Dead Man's Rush.

Spectral Smite. Krul's B ability will passively apply Weakness to the enemy.This Weakness stacks and each Weakness reduces the enemy's damage and greatly increases Krul's lifesteal. This stacks can be activated by pressing Spectral Smite, greatly reducing the enemy's health and increases Krul's health based on the number of stacks.
For those who doesn't know, the animation of Spectral Smite on Summer Party Krul is different from the others. Instead of a sword, a shark will pop out from the ground and bites the enemy.

From Hell's Heart. Activating this ability to a direction will throw the weapon to the direction, then reaching it's maximum distance, will boomerang back to Krul. Any enemies hit by From Hell's Heart will be stunned. Stun duration varies based on the weapon's reached distance.

I almost forgot Krul's perk; Shadows Empower Me. Standing still in a bush for a couple of seconds will activate Shadows Empower Me, gaining movement speed while in the bush, by the time Krul steps out of the bush, he will still have movement speed until a couple of seconds, if Krul attacks an enemy while his perk is activated, the enemy is slowed. His perk is perfect for ambush, chasing or running away from opponents.

Item Builds Top

Start off with a Swift Shooter and a Sprint Boots for early mobility and increased attack speed to farm faster. Then get 2 Blazing Salvo and upgrade your boots to T2 . Then get Heavy Steel to finish your first item, Breaking Point. Breaking Point will increase your attack speed and could effectively gank in the lane fight on early team fights. Continue farming and get Reflex Block and finish it to a Crucible and finish the other Blazing Salvo to a Tornado Trigger. Now, tbh, you could finish the game with these items, respectively. Now, if the game is close between the two teams, these late game items will boost Krul's effectiveness as 1v1 GOD. Finish your boots to T3 to catch fleeing enemies faster. If you're seeing enemies building armor(ex. and ), build armor-piercing weapons such as Bonesaw and Tension Bow, though I prefer using Bonesaw because it can increase Krul's attack speed which is crucial for his lifesteal. If you're seeing enemies building attack speed weapons(?), build Atlas Pauldron. Activate this item near those enemies to slow their attack speed by 65%. Other late game items includes Contraption, for team vision if you're playing as captain, and Metal Jacket for increased armor and shield.
