Guide for Krobelus as a solo mid, ganker (and pusher).

This is a guide for Krobelus, one of the less picked/banned heroes of TI3 but a very strong hero aswell.

This guide will try to teach you the basics of Kro as a solo mid and hard ganker.

Introduction

Krobelus was a Death Prophet—which is one way of saying she told fortunes for the wealthiest of those who wished to look beyond the veil. But after years of inquiring on behalf of others, she began to seek clues on her own fate. When death refused to yield its secrets, she tried to buy them with her life. But the ultimate price proved insufficient. Death disgorged her again and again, always holding back its deepest mysteries. Her jealousy grew. Others could die for eternity—why not she? Why must she alone be cast back on the shores of life with such tiresome regularity? Why was she not worthy of the one thing all other living creatures took for granted? Still, she would not be discouraged. Each time she returned from the grave, she brought a bit of death back with her. Wraiths followed her like fragments of her shattered soul; her blood grew thin and ectoplasmic; the feasting creatures of twilight took her for their kin. She gave a little of her life with every demise, and it began to seem as if her end was in sight. With her dedication to death redoubled, and no client other than herself, Krobelus threw herself ever more fervently into death's abyss, intent on fulfilling the one prophecy that eluded her: That someday the Death Prophet would return from death no more.

Notes

This item will help your last hit and allow you to spam your swarm a bit more.




realy good item when you random dp.



good regen hp and mana if you have rune control.



I prefer phase to arcane but you can farm fast arcane to dissasemble for bloodstone.



With bloodstone you can spam your cript swarm and deal so many domage on team fight.



One of the best item on dp, you will survive long time on team fight and so deal mass domage with your ultimate and your first spell.


armor bonus and a good slow.



strong armor will make you again more tanky while give a negativ armor. Perfect with your ultimate.



powerfull item versus a team with many stun or magic spell.



necro 3 = hi invisible + more push.



best mobility + one slot (don't need tp).



godd item to help your team or escape/chase.



powerfull items versus all carry.




Here are a few of my last matches with this skill and item build.

counter

Be carefull vs these. They will probably destroy you on middle lane.


OD , better counter pick to the intel heroes.
He will drain our intel's points (less mana and it will be harder to last hit)
Only one issue versus OD: don't go mid.

End notes
