Krul is the master of 1v1 battles he almost wins every 1v1 battle against opponents of similar skill. He has many strengths and a few weaknesses. With the right build, he will be the more dominant hero in the team. He can be an unstoppable tank as well as a terrifying attacker. His biggest strength is long lasting battles, where his breaking point and life steal really add up. He dominates in 1v1 battles and few can beat him in them. He also lasts much longer than other heroes in 1v2 and 1v3 battles. He will not always win all of them, but be sure he will put up a good fight and take some of them down with him. His biggest weakness is short battles and burst damage where his life steal does little to help him. Beware of stuns and silences, these can be countered with Reflex Block . Kiting (attacking) but staying out of reach) is also a major problem for Krul, but can be easily countered with Shiversteel .

Shadows Empower Me - Heroic Perk

Basically useless unless you're trying to gank someone.

Dead Man's Rush - 1st Ability

Weak at the start, but becomes incredibly strong in the late game. DO NOT use Dead Man's Rush at the very start of the battle as there is a health barrier. You can also use this to chase fleeing enemies.

Spectral Smite - 2nd Ability

Krul's most important ability. This slows the enemies attack speed, heals him and damages enemies. This move is what makes Krul so formidable. Do not use Spectral Smite when you're not on full stacks unless you are about to die or it will kill your target for sure.

From Hell's Heart - Ultimate

This stuns enemies when hit. Use this to stop feeling enemies or to cancel enemy ults. Do not use this just for damage as it would be a giant waste.
