How to Combo Kil'Groth

Basic Combo

  • Sea Spear 1
  • Enraged Spear 2
  • Basic Attack

Basic Kil'Groth Kil'Groth combo:

  1. Use Skill 1 Sea Spear Sea Spear to dash in front of the enemy, dealing damage and slowing them.
  2. Activate Skill 2 Enraged Spear Enraged Spear then basic attack repeatedly for damage and healing.

Since Skill 3 Gore Lord Gore Lord grants crowd-control cleanse and immunity, use it sensibly depending on the situation to dive into a fight and outplay your opponent.

When comboing, remember to basic attack continuously while moving to stay close to the enemy, since basic attacks are Kil'Groth Kil'Groth ‘s most important damage source.

How to Use Kil'Groth's Skills Effectively

  • When attacking, chain continuous basic attacks to stack a large attack-speed bonus.
  • Watch for your 3rd basic attack, which has a wide damage area, to clear minions fast or hit multiple targets at once.
  • Take advantage of this terrain-crossing dash and slow to chase or escape.
  • Try to land the dash and, ideally, dash past the enemy hero to get Skill 1’s cooldown refunded in 4 seconds while also blocking their path.
  • Watch for your 3rd basic attack, since it deals bonus damage from Skill 2’s passive, combined with passive The Fanatic The Fanatic , making this hit extremely painful and splash damage, so use it to attack the enemy.
  • Use the splash damage, healing, and bonus damage from activating Skill 2 to come out ahead in skill trades, burst the enemy, or secure objectives faster.
  • Use this skill to cleanse any crowd control you’re affected by and gain 4 more seconds of crowd-control immunity, letting you dive in and outplay extremely well.
  • Take advantage of the extremely fast movement and attack speed to chase down and basic attack the enemy continuously, which extends Skill 3’s duration.

How to Play Kil'Groth in the Early Game

In the early game, Kil'Groth Kil'Groth is fairly strong with big basic-attack damage and strong healing, so play proactively.

Stay close to the enemy hero and basic attack to farm minions; watch for your 3rd basic attack and land it on the enemy hero or the minion right next to them.

When your health drops low, activate Skill 2 Enraged Spear Enraged Spear and swing continuously to heal; if you have enough damage, dash in with Skill 1 Sea Spear Sea Spear to crowd-control and finish the enemy.

How to Play Kil'Groth in the Mid Game

In the mid game, focus on Kil'Groth Kil'Groth ‘s strength: split pushing and coordinating with allies to secure Dragon and Caesar.

Since this hero’s stats are strong in small-scale fights but weak at ganking due to lacking a pick tool, only join fights when convenient.

In a fight, prioritize attacking low-mobility enemy heroes to make the most of this hero’s strength.

How to Play Kil'Groth in the Late Game

By the late game, you can still split push, but don’t move too far from your allies so you can quickly return for a full team fight.

Don’t dive straight into a full team fight, since you’ll easily get deleted — hold a backward position and attack enemies who try to dive in.

When you see the enemy’s core damage dealer push up and expose themselves, use Skill 3 Gore Lord Gore Lord for crowd-control cleanse and immunity, then dive in with everything to take down the enemy marksman.

When the late-game Dragon and Caesar spawn, secure them quickly to greatly increase your chances of winning.
