Threat Hero Notes
1
Glaive Glaive doesn't have the lifesteal and attack speed you have, and his abilities don't do massive damage. No match for you in a 1v1.
2
Ardan Ardan is only a threat if he has a good team with him. Nowadays, most of the people playing Vainglory are trash, so he most likely will not have a good use for his gauntlet (1st ability).
2
Taka Will be better than you early game, but isn't that good late game, when it matters. You can easily bully him until he has a minute respawn time.
3
Fortress Fortress shouldn't be a big issue to you. Most noobs use the recommended section to build, which is support. He won't be able to do much. Beware his team though if he goes support.
4
Catherine Catherine can't do anything to you because of her notoriously low attack power. But beware her CC, and she can be deadly with a decent team.
4
Joule Her jumping stun is annoying, but otherwise she is useless without her big red button, which you can use with a reflex block- passive item, which is in my "situational" item section.
4
Skaarf Doesn't pose much trouble to you, except for his ult. Try to stun him, and he won't be an issue. Also he's annoying while you try to hide in the brush.
5
Krul Whoever who has the better team and timing wins. Good luck.
5
Blackfeather Has the ability range of a ranged hero but cannot kite you. Use dead man's rush to get close to him, get your stacks up, smite him, and it's GG.
5
Celeste Can't kite you that well. Her heliogenesis is annoying, but nothing you can't handle by moving around. Kill her quickly by getting close to her, and you'll be fine.
5
Koshka Her stun is annoying and can be your death if she has a good team, but otherwise she can't compete with your lifesteal.
5
Rona Arguably your female counterpart. Has similar attack style, speed, and lifesteal. Stay away from her bloodrage, and make quick work of her if you want to stay alive.
6
Phinn It's almost impossibly to kill Phinn, but it's almost impossible for Phinn to kill you. If he has a good team it's game over for you.
7
Adagio Adagio should be difficult to handle if he is able to kite you and use his second ability (attack buff).
7
Petal Her munions are extremely tricky if she goes CP. If you have a lot of burst try to take her out in a second, then finish those munions. If you don't have burst, just try taking on those munions.
8
Vox Can kite you relatively easy. Is hard to gank because of his resonance and second ability. Make your moves and decisions quickly, as time is really a factor.
8
SAW Will take you out quickly, but you still stand a chance as he is extremely slow and susceptible to your abilities.
9
Skye Annoying as heck. Easily kites Krul and her missile barrage will annoy you easily. A few more shots and you are down.
10
Ringo WP Ringo will kite, then melt you. Enough said.

Krul is a Situational Hero Top

What you do with Krul and what items to get depends entirely on the situation. For example, if you see a Phinn with all Metal Jackets, get a Bonesaw and start shreding that armor. If you see a high crystal power Celeste, go bursty and get a Tension Bow.

A general rule for Vainglory - Only engage in battles you think you can win. Sometimes this can be a 2v1 with weak players, but usually it is only a 1v1 with a melee. Don't get kited, as Krul's main weakness is his inability to speed boost without boots and to run away.

Late game don't get any Halcyon Potions, as your lifesteal plus the Serpent's Mask will give you all the health you need.

Understand Your Abilites Top

Most beginners use Krul when is free, and do decently, because Krul is a naturally OP hero with his recommended items. To beat them learn your abilities and know when to use them, how much health barrier they give you, etc. Make use of your perk, Shadows Empower Me. Stay in the bushes. An ideal combo for ambushing a single melee hero is Dead man's Rush --> Get stacks up --> Spectral Smite. For ranged heroes, it is a good idea to use From Hell's Heart --> Dead Man's Rush --> Spectral Smite. If you're in a middle of a battle, time your abilities correctly. Notice your stacks, and sometimes one stack before a smite is the difference between a kill and death. When facing enemy Kruls, keep track of his stacks. When his stacks are full, activate Dead Man's Rush to protect yourself from the massive amount of damage he has. When you see he has a large health barrier, don't use your smite. It is also a good idea to use your smite as a finishing move and only activate it when he has a tiny bit of health left. There are many more scenarios, and I have only outlined some basic ones. Understand your abilities to know what do do in other scenarios.
