It is suggested that you already know how to play
Krul well, but here's the basics :-
Always try to have someone like an
Ardan or
Catherine around, and let them initiate battles, unless it's against a single enemy, or two melees.
Always wait in the brush before initiating - remember that he's a jungler, his job is to gank laners and unsuspecting foes.
Shadows Empower Me is a great benefit, giving you a big boost of speed and substantially slowing the enemy, allowing you to build stacks.
Don't use
Dead Man's Rush whenever possible. You can use it after
Shadows Empower Me but then save is for chases after that. Also use it as a makeshift aegis to greatly reduce damage from many ults.
Always wait for large stacks on
Spectral Smite , unless the enemy is trying to get away and you need to finish him/leave huge damage and force retreat
Never hesitate to use your ult. The cooldown may seem long, but it's not like teamfights/chases break out every 30 seconds. That stun may save your life. Also, if you're a pro, try to boomerang it, damage and stun becomes huge.
Many Krullers will probably be questioning by build right now, saying "where the hell is the shiversteel?" Or "breaking point after the 1.14 nerf? Why?". Scroll down and you'll find out. I've found this build much more effective than the Juggernaut Build, and I've consistently been getting at least a 3:1 k/d ratio, not counting assists. Even when I lose a battle, I'd have atleast a 2:1 ratio.
Core:-
Sorrowblade
The main item of this build. It'll help you deal huge damage to anybody without a metal jacket, and it'll make kiters much easier to deal with. Should be your first 3rd level item.
Bonesaw
Your main counter to tanks, just shredding their armour and making
Sorrowblade more effective. Also, it greatly increases your attack speed, so
Spectral Smite stacks much faster. Should be the 5th 3rd level item you should go for.
Serpent Mask
An underrated item on Krul. Many would say that his
Spectral Smite stacks keep Krul going anyways, but that's not necessarily true. Krul is very susceptible to ambushes. So, combined with the power of
Sorrowblade and your attack speed items, this makes you indestructible. Should be your 3rd 3rd level item.
Tornado Trigger
Your standard stuff. Get it if you need more atk speed, such as against a krul
Other Items:-
Metal Jacket OR
Aegis
Your only defensive item, so make it your 2nd 3rd level item. Use
Atlas Pauldron ,
Crucible or
Fountain of Renewal or something like that if ur more comfortable with those.
Atlas Pauldron
If you're against a krul, this is a must.
Journey Boots
Your only chasing items, make them count. Also very useful from running away when you're really low on health. Many people probably hate this build because I've not put in
Shiversteel or Warhorn , but the truth is, you don't need them. The boots itself will help you deliver one hit just before your
Spectral Smite stacks disappear, plus you have Shodows Empower Me to gank and slow retreating enemies in the lane and
Dead Man's Rush to catch up to a certain distance and deal damage plus slow them a bit for a short duration. And, as mentioned before, you can always use
From Hell's Heart to damage and stun enemies. Hell, I've even prevented takas from escaping several times by throwing hellrazor in the direction he probably hopes to escape from when he disappears. Take it as your 4th 3rd level item.
Lastly, never forget to get
Weapon Infusion when you're done with the core!
