Have you ever Noticed that KRUL = LURK in the other side ?! ;)

KRUL Diffculty : High... but not that much since the update The Undead JUNGLER If you hear a cackle from the brush ... if you see a speck of steel blink in the shadows ... just run. The Tortured Undead has come to the Halcyon Fold, in search of salvation. But this creature, this man-no-longer-man, will rend and rip anything that stands between him and eternal rest. It's said a colossal sword pierces his chest, leaving a festering wound. He calls the blade Hellrazor, and he wants rid of it to release his soul, they say. And his horrifying, empty gaze sees only the Vain that might set him free.Krul is a terrifying presence in the Halcyon Fold. Lurk in the brush, launch toward the vulnerable and use Dead Man's Rush to survive initial burst damage and stick to the target. From there, build up Weakness stacks with basic attacks and smite them to the grave. Use From Hell's Heart as an initiator or to prevent enemy escape..

1. The new way to krul.... dead man's rush! 1.1 Heroic Perk : Shadows Empower Me 1.2 A - Dead Man's Rush 1.3 B - Spectral Smite 1.4 Ulti - From Hell's Heart 2. Items Explanations 3. Threat Meter

This build is made to be the best carry jungler for a weapon laner... a combination with a tank and a weapon carry is the best !
+ You can SLOW them with Shiversteel and Shadows Empower Me
+ You can STUN them with From Hell's Heart
+ You can STOP ENNEMIES DPS with Atlas Pauldron as you are a melee heroe
+ You can HEAL your low-life teammates with Fountain of Renewal
+ And you can DEAL a tons of DAMAGE without dying by spaming your abilitie and aftershock combination!

Since the update, I think Krul doesn't need to be build through attack speed only, because he can deal burst damage with nice lifesteal and protection. So here is two differents builds for the gameplay that fits the most to you. -DEAD MAN'S RUSH !- DETAILS at level 5 (max) + Cooldown : Cooldown Time = Ability Cooldown Time / (1 + Cooldown Reduction): 8 seconds : with 75% CD reduction : 4,57 seconds!!! If we add a crystal infusion which gives another 35% of CD reduction : 8/2,1 = 3,8 seconds for the cooldown of your A skill!!! + Barrier of 600 + 75% CP Ratio bonus. + Damage : 380 + 70% CP Ratio bonus. + Stacks : it provides DOUBLE STACKS for your spectral smite (which gives when also maxed out at 5 : 220 damage, etc..)

B : the more stacks you put over the ennemie's head, the less attack speed and crystal power he gets!!!!
Cooldown Time = Ability Cooldown Time / (1 + Cooldown Reduction)
= 11 / (1 + 0.75 )
= 6,28
With the crystal infusion, it gets down to 5,23 seconds

SO : MEDiC's combo = Begin with A + automatic Aftershock (+ slow of heroik perk), then after two seconds, press B + next basic attack Aftershock, then wait two seconds for the next Aftershockwith your A (apply shiversteel on that second A skill to slow the ennemy), then you will get your B again and Aftershock!!!!!
That's how crazy this Krul is now ^^


I also propose a second build (check it out!), another way of playing Krul, for those who don't fit this build :)

This build follows the same plan as my Lifestealer Koshka's build (http://www.vaingloryfire.com/vainglory/guide/the-lane-terror-medics-lifestealer-hybrid-koshka-5073) as the aim is to spam your abilities and passive of Aftershock. That's why Clockwork + Aftershock is the core items!
Krul A provides him a barrier of HP according to his crystal power, and triggers shiversteel and aftershock !
Combo : wait in a bush to activate the heroik perk, then run into the carry with dead man's rush, then stack a little your spectral smite and activate your B.

Weapon Laner carry HELPER : The Undead Lurker MEDIC's choice

As your laner goes weapon, ennemy build either Crucible or Atlas Pauldron and rare Metal Jacket : that's your chance : your first item to rush is Aftershock !

-AfterShock- FIRST ITEM to rush with Krul. You should get it around the 8' minute of the game! That's his bread and butter. THIS IS THE COUNTER-BUILD ITEM of Crucible! Interesting items to build because of the +35 Crystal Power combinates to CD (+25% Cooldown Acceleration) and E.recharge (+2.4) to spam your ability. Here is the passive of this item "After using an ability, your next basic attack deals 15%-20% (level 1-12) of your target's max health as damage with +50% lifesteal. Max 400 damage vs non-heroes. 2 second cooldown." It is called SLICE DAMAGE = (Enemy TOTAL HP x Slice %) : the amount of health item spend is kinda gift to you as a lifesteal :D It is important to wait for Aftershock to reload by checking the icon down and left of the screen before triggering a new abilitie.

REMEMBER: ClockWork helps you get faster your abilities.

-ClockWork- Let's upgrade your Energy Battery and get your CORE items! +50% Cooldown Acceleration!!!!! Since you max A & B ABilities, you will have Dead Man's Rush every 4,57 (3,8 with Crystal Infusion) seconds! (75% of cooldown reduction with Aftershock...!!) and Spectral Smite every 6,28 (5,23 with Crystal Infusion) seconds. DOES IT RING A BELL TO YOU ???? You can spam your abilities according to the 2 seconds cooldown between two aftershock basic-attack passives!!!! THERE YOU BECOME THE UNDYING BEAST OF HALCYON FOLD :D +250 Max Energy +5 Energy Recharge

Now you need some DEFENSE : Dragonheart ! that you will upgrade into a Shiversteel

With this theorical build, you've got versatile defense : Nice amount of HP with shiversteel (+slow move) ; nice armor with Atlas pauldron (+ slow dps); and nice shield with fountain (+heal)

-SHIVERSTEEL- : Gives you HP and you can trigger it right after pressing on A abilitie to activate it with the aftershock power at the same time! great combo

-Fountain Of Renewal- Take this if ennemies are BLUE/CRYSTAL, to heal your teammates and also protects yourself with the kinetic shield.

-ATLAS Pauldron- : RED ennemies protection + you can slow high dps ennemies shots speed

-CRYSTAL INFUSION- Consume +++ : Temporarily gain 6 crystal power per level, 35% cooldown acceleration, 30 armor & 30 shield. Lasts 3 minutes.

-Journey BOOTS- mobility : a classic in every build ! Upgrade from tier 2 to 3 only at the very end of the game if it's the lats thing you've to upgrade.

DEFENSE : If you feel you need a Reflex Block !, go for it, and you will upgrade it into either Crucible or Aegis.
