Order Mo and Krill capacity

Along with Mo & Krill, Scorn is the first ability you'll want to unlock. This ability not only deals damage but also heals for a fraction of the damage it takes. Then you'll be able to trade hits with your opponent, run in close, and use Scorn to regain your lost HP. Go for Burrow as your next unlock, then Sand Blast. Unlock the combo when it's available.

For upgrades, put your initial APs into Scorn to reach level 2. This will reduce its cooldown and also give a nice boost to damage. Max out Burrow next, and once it's completely leveled, put 5 APs into Scorn. Upgrade the combo to the next max level, and after that, start putting points into Sand Blast.

Moe and Krill item progress

Since our build is focused on getting the most damage out of Mo & Krill's abilities, we'll be looking for items that increase your soul power. Mo & Krill also have one of the most powerful healing abilities DeadlockWhich also measures with soul power. So this build will turn you into a decent tank in the late game. Here are the items you'll want to pick up in Mo & Krill for this build:

Early game:

• Monster rounds
• Close the quarters
• A patient soul
• Treatment Booster
• Mysterious burst
• Infuser
• Sprint shoes
• Extra Regen
• Extra soul

Much of Mo & Krill's early game revolves around picking up items that increase his durability and deal some soul damage to the hero. But the first two items you'll want to pick up are Monster rounds and Close the quarters. Since the hero likes to get up close and personal, these two items will make you stronger for the early fights. After that, Enduring Spirit and Healing Boosters are two must-buy items for stability.

Mystic Burst and Infuser will add some much needed Spirit Power to boost your ability damage. Sprint boots come next to increase your movement speed. Finally, go for Extra Regen and Extra Spirit, and you'll be pretty inept for early skirmishes.

If you already have a good lane the extra regen can be skipped as Scorn can heal you pretty quickly.

Middle Game:

• Term extender
• Improved Cooldown
• charge the fight
• Fleetfoot
• Increase in power
• Improved soul pain pulse
• soul armor (status)
• point blank (position)

As you move into the mid-game, you should go for items that lower your cooldown so you can spam them faster during team fights. Being able to use your abilities quickly allows you to quickly clear jungle camps with Mo & Krill. The duration extender and improved cooldown are two of the absolute best items on the hero for this reason. Once you buy them, go for the melee charge. This makes your heavy melee extremely powerful once you come out of the burrow.

Fleetfoot comes next to get rid of movement penalties while shooting. After that, go for Surge of Power, Improved Spirit, and Torment Pulse to add extra Spirit Power to get more damage from your abilities. Spirit Armor and Point Blank are situational items. Only go for soul armor if you're having trouble tanking through the enemy team's soul abilities. Point blank is a natural upgrade in close quarters, and if you're playing close, it's a decent pickup at this point.

Late game:

• Superior cooldown
• High period
• Unlimited Spirit
• Echo Shard
• Spiritual overflow
• Pristine symbol
• constant motion
• Superior stamina
• Unstoppable
• Mysterious slow (situational)
• Improved Access (Status)
• Escalating Exposure (Situational)
• refresher (status)
• Siphon Bullet (positional)
• Warp Stone (Status)

For the late game, prioritize upgrades with superior cooldown and superior duration as soon as possible to reduce the cooldown of your abilities. After that, go for Boundless Spirit and Echo Shard to further boost your ability damage. Replace your cheap orange items with Spiritual Overflow and Pristine Symbols. Upgrade the Sprint Boots to Permanent Speed, get Superior Stamina, and go Unstoppable to use on your ultimate enemy hero unimpeded.

With that, your build is almost complete. However, if you still have flex inventory slots to fill, there are some good options. Mystic Slow, Improved Reach, and Escalating Exposure are great choices for Mo & Krill because of their passive effects and soul power. Refresher can be a good option, as it allows you to get out of Scorn and Burrow twice in a fight. Siphon bullets can sustain a hero well. Finally, Warp Stone can help you get to your final position quickly or even escape when things turn south.
