Intro and Pros/Cons

My name is x MysTeRioN z, a majority Xbox Player but sometimes I play on PC too. I'm a Brazilian nice guy who likes to play FPS, Racing, Plataform and RPG games. I like to study and read when I'm not playing and I'm also studying to be a lawyer. My xbox gamertag is the same as here: x MysterioN z

I'm here to bring you this quick guide to play with on mid lane. My objective here is to be as quick as possible, so I don't want to make a long guide (such as my guide: Love, find your mark!). I want to tell everything you need to know about this snake guy to play in mid and without wasting time.

Type: Buff

Movespeed increased at the start: 60/65/70/75/80%
Cooldown: 15-11 seconds

uses the wind in his favor so he gains increased movespeed for 4s. The extra movespeed starts higher and decreases until it reaches 0 at the end of the skill. Kukulkan is also immune to slows for 0.6 sec after activating it.

Whirlwind
Type: Ground Target (DoT)

Damage Per Tick: 8/16/24/32/40 (+15% of your Magical Power)
Minimum Damage: 48/96/144/192/240 (+90% of your Magical Power)

Tornado Lifetime: 4s
Cooldown: 15/14/13/12/11 seconds

If the enemy just "miss-step in it", applies the "minimum damage". If the enemy stays inside the Whirlwind for all its duration, applies the "maximum damage". This skill has a 0.35 casting time (until it starts to do damage) and enemies that pass through it during casting time don't take any damage nor get the minor Whirlwind. The first (and additional) tick is at 0.35.

How to Play

Early Game

You are VERY WEAK and an easy target until mid-game SO AVOID CRAZY FIGHTS.
Try to clear the wave as soon as possible, and try to don't take damage from the wave. If the enemy cleared his wave first, retreat to your tower. If you cleared first, try to poke him safely.
It's recommend you take the damage buff. If you see that there is a chance of the enemy take your buff, then do it even before your jungler comes. Bring the buff to your tower if needed to not lose a lot of hp.
In teamfights try to participate from some distance and run for your life using Slipstream if someone focuses on you.
PUT WARDS ON THE MAP to avoid Ganks!!
Poke your enemy as soon as possible (See the "poke poke" on Combos Section) and be careful doing it, he might call for help and put you in serious trouble.
FOCUS ON FARMING, you need to get big as soon as possible so every farm you see, do it if possible (camps or minions waves), especially the camps on the right and left side of mid lane.
Be careful dying. IF THE ENEMY GET BIGGER THAN YOU, YOU WILL KNOW WHAT PAIN IS because you're pure damage, no big cc, no good escapes.
Ask for help every time you need it, and don't do anything that can compromise yourself badly.
Remember that you have a low health pool and 0 defenses so "be smart".

Mid Game

Now you do decent damage, probably you are killing a minions wave without problems using Whirlwind.
Now it's time to become a little aggressive. Your damage scales very well now (book is already stacked). Squishy target should be dying extremely easily for you if you hit your entire combo (including your ulti). Time to shine.
REMEMBER THAT OBJECTIVES ARE MORE IMPORTANT THAN KILLS, so it's time to start to rotate, taking down towers, and kill with your team jungle bosses such as gold fury and pyro.
ALWAYS try to participate in teamfights now, 'cause your skills ARE VERY USEFUL to the team and they do a VERY GOOD amount of damage.
Now it's a nice moment to start rotating to surprise enemies and summon some kulkupupers!!!

Late Game

Time to group up.
Now you are stronger than ever so, time to keep shining.
Use wisely your skills now, specially your ulti that is hard to hit.
Stay with your team. Participate in the team fights combining your skills with theirs. If the enemy got stunned, put a tornado and spit on them to slow them.
Unfortunately, you are very squishy, so YOU DIE VERY FAST at late game, BUT, you can counter it by playing safe behind your teammates. So, as long as you don't try to be a front line and stay together with your team you will still be a killing machine.
As you should notice, a single Whirlwind combined with the big kukulpuper can also kill a full health squishy target, so use it wisely.
Try to keep your 2 always ready 'cause if someone turns to you, you can active Ayrton Senna mode, I mean... Slipstream and just run away.

Builds

In this section, I tell you the pros and cons of each build and for each situation, each build was made for.

Please don't forget to read the notes of each build, they have important comments ;)

Final Considerations

"Dragons have no fear! Ooo! Look at my tail! It's so long, I wanna chase it!"

Best skin from the Season 5 Odyssey, and of course his best skin! (**** the T5)
And probably one of the best/cutest skins in the entire game!!!

My conclusion is that Kukulcan is an easy and funny god (especially with the doggo skin) to play and following the tips and builds I posted here I'm sure you will have good results. Good luck and have fun!!!

in arena do I buy the double stacking? Seems too long to take online. I would rather take chrono's pendant as third item or spear of deso

(72) |

I guess you already got your answer :p

(143) |

Pendulum > Thoth > Divine > Poly > Reaver > Shard (or maybe coin after poly then reaver last)

Pendulum > Thoth > Poly > Reaver > Shard/Coin > Myrddin/Soul Gem

Thanks! Gonna try it out and report back to you. Is pendant bad item overall on mages today?

Muy bueno hermano!

Thank you :3

Comments below this are from Season 8 and the ones above from Season 9!

Obrigado guia to+

(72) |

Valeu :3

Sands of time is not the starter for Kukulkan. Gem is a way better starter item build is only ok

(72) |

Once you upgrade it, SoT (now ) will provide 190 magical power that hardly ever will drop below 170 due to your giant mana pool + mp5 and you don't have to build CDR like

(37) |

Sands of Time is fine.

I like the anti heal build

(143) |

"Kill Dat Tank" - Doesen't have Soul Reaver???

Not really sure about the lack of Soul Reaver in some of these builds if im being honest.

Also add Breastplate as an option.

(72) |

Yeah, in kill dat tank I had two options, reach the maximum pen with Obsidian or get 30% and get soul and I chose the first one, thinking about a really tanky comp.

Soul reaver adds a extra power with the passive, giant amount of base power + mana to combo with the passive and BoT allied with 10% pen to complement Charon reaching a decent amount of pen to hurt tanks. Honestly I can't see a really good reason to not build it on Kukul.

BoV added.

(143) |

Im sorry but having both Shard and Charon's in your build is completely unnecessary. Building Shard and Charon's in the same build is no bueno, and you would get better DPS just from swapping your Charon's for Reaver.

The build should be something like: CDR boots > Thoth > Deso > Reaver > Shard > Estaff > sell boots for Chronos'.

(46) |

Is there potential overcap with shard and Charon?

(401) |

Actually no, unless you get 10% more from another item. These two provide 40% base pen. Ob Shard allows for overcap through its passive, which is the only way to get 50% effect.

This combo is thus solid for tank potential, BUT it also makes the build inflexible without inefficiency...meaning no , no , no . That's okay depending on what you're looking to do.

(143) |

No, it’s not okay. There is no reason not to build Soul Reaver when looking to kill tanks and no high level mid laner ever builds Charon’s with Shard. There’s just no reason to.

(72) |

Okay, here is your loved . Have fun now

(143) |

Why so many Charon's Coin? Tbh with Book of Thoth I don't think you need the mp5 from Charon's, and Kuku uses Obsidian Shard passive well.

(81) |

Does Shard still process on minions? If so, that might be why Myst prefers Coin over it.

(143) |

Honestly that used to be a factor but it's not that relevant.

You will still get use out of Shard in teamfights, plus the tier 2 item has pen on it.

(105) |

for clarity shard does not proc on minions anymore.

Also I think the preference to coin could be the extra movement speed it can provide.

(72) |

Exactly and last time I tested, it proced on minions

(81) |

When was the last time you tested it? I'm not doubting you, but I haven't used it since the rework.

(72) |

1 patch ago, at the beginning of 7.4. I used an skill on a jg camp and the passive went on CD normally

(401) |

I think you're making a bigger deal of this than it is. I'm not saying I'd build those two together personally but it's not like it wouldn't work OK. My pref would be ob, reaver, and pythag.

(46) |

I see and understand the requirement for soul reaver in a tank killer build.

But I still don't understand why obs shard with another % pen item is bad in a tank killer build, if there's no danger of overcap?

(143) |

It’s bad because there’s usually almost always going to be an item that causes overcap that you need (Reaver on Burst mages, Typhon’ on Mage ADCs) , and in general there’s not really space for it in the build to have both Charon’s and Shard in the build when you should ideally get 1 or the other (usually shard unless you need mp5 from Coin or the god procs shard passively badly).

(46) |

Got it. thanks.

(81) |

Yes. Both combined can give you a possible 50%.

(46) |

But like bran was saying, it's not a true overcap?

Why, for the lifesteal build, would you run Pythagorem's Piece over Typhon's fang? Just curious

(401) |

Although has lifesteal, it's not a very high amount, so I wouldn't count that as a true 1st lifesteal item...it's more like an early option for sustain.

is great, but it should be purchased as a 2nd lifesteal item when it's considered at all. In these cases, you want a strong 1st lifesteal item so you can get the most out of Typhon's passive lifesteal and power boost. Again, Shoes of the Magi isn't really providing enough lifesteal to get much out of it.

The 2 lifesteal items that get the most out of Typhon's are and , with Bancroft being the much more common option when getting 2 lifesteal items.

is not a god that should normally run with 2 lifesteal items...taking up 2 slots for lifesteal takes away from other items he could be building. In this case, he might choose one of 4 lifesteal items...Bancroft, Pythag's, , and . Of these, and because Myst obviously wants in most of his builds, feels he has relatively enough CDR, so he doesn't really need Soul Gem. And while is a great and common item for him, it's also not really providing enough lifesteal to get the most out of Typhon's as a 2nd lifesteal item. Pythag's is a strong item for him here, especially since he usually will not want to go solo mid/late game. He wants to stick with teammates to make it safer for himself. He and nearby teammates will get a lot of function out of Pythag's passive power and lifesteal boost. It also, like Typhon's, has 10% penetration, so is good mid/late game against tanks.

Why not Bancroft? Well, it can work, but Kukul is not a close-in fighter and isn't really looking to exchange damage and eventually come out on top. He wants to keep people mostly at range...~50 units and further...just close enough to hit (and maybe follow up with fortified basic hit).

Note that I also said I wouldn't take up 2 slots in Kukul's build for lifesteal. Why then does Myst have Pythag's and Poly? Both have alternate utility. Pythag's provides a team buff. Poly is much more specifically used for the passive burst damage potential, and isn't really considered a standard lifesteal item. So at least in this case, these items are providing added utility.

In any case, I'm with Myst here, I wouldn't bother with Typhon's on him.

(72) |

Hi Bran,
We are so in sync that you basically said every word I would say.

Nice job old man XD

(143) |

Actually Typhon’s can be ok, e.g Magi Shoes Book of Thoth Poly Reaver Typhon’s Shard/Deso

(401) |

"Ok," sure, but not great. No offense, and I know your build example can work, but I don't like it.

(13) |

Why instead of ?

(72) |

Fixed

(72) |

~~Because this guide wasn't updated to 7.2, and at the very beginning of 7.1, when this guide was updated, Shoes of Focus wasn't the dominated option yet. Sooner it will be fixed.~~

(72) |

Comments below this are from Season 6 and above it are from Season 7

(143) |

Book of souls start isn’t advised since the nerf at start of season to it, always go mages and tier 1 Thoth. Your “anti-tank” Build has no soul reaver for some reason.

(72) |

Last time I did/needed a soul reaver was at patch 5.21, so I forgot this item exist :v

(81) |

Would you finish Thoth first or buy shoes then finish it?

(143) |

Buy Shoes first. Though it’s not the end of the world if you decide to build thoth first

That's generally what I do when I buy stacking items, but I'm a filthy arena main. :p

(46) |

If only you put some more work into this. You could've entered it into the guide contest.

(72) |

Meh, I already have a guide for each category in the contest. This one is just builds and a little combo guide.

(13) |

He's already running in all the categories anyway.

(81) |

Yep. Better luck next year, Vini.

Wait but this guide is really good . What do u mean it hasn’t been entered to the contest

(46) |

It's not long enough.

Do you know when the winners will be announced?

(401) |

I haven't even scored/reviewed anything yet...lol. Possibly 1 week or so after the contest closes. And oh hey, looks like that's at end of day today. So...maybe 1 week away. Maybe longer. Depends on how quickly we get our stuff in, review everything, and Wayne writes everything up.

(81) |

My entries are ready, I'm just waiting on you guys. :P

(401) |

Just make sure you double-check after tonight in case any other guides have been updated by today.

(46) |

I'm goonnA create a warrior guide before tonight just to mess with Gulf

(72) |

Implying that you can win :v

(46) |

Hey vini, i think he's saying his guide will veat your guides.

(81) |

He was talking to you, nephew.

(46) |

"Implying you can win"
>>implies I lose and he win
>>which implies vini loses too

(81) |

You forget that there can be 2 winners. Anyway, don't you have a guide to write?

(401) |

Gulf, you don't need to worry about that one then. I'd just skip judging it as it's unlikely to win.

(81) |

Exactly. On a serious note, I have three entries I'm looking at Boogie, so yours had better be damned good if you make one; otherwise I'm going to do like what Bran suggested and ignore it. :P

(13) |

Probably one week from now.

(72) |

I guess it would be someday from now. I remember they mentioned April 9th in something about winners.

Builds and Itemization

Final Considerations

Item		Explanation
		Breastplate of Determination If the enemy jungler is pissing you off, you can get BoD to tank him a litte bit + get tons of CDR.
.
		Ethereal Staff If the enemies have a lot of HP and/or you are looking for some more survivability, this item is the right choice. Try to get it at mid/late game, when the % is more efficient.
.
		Gem of Isolation If the enemies are sticking on you, this might be a decent option to keep them away. Build it after you already have some CDR and boom, just kite the enemy (throw your skills then run). It's also a decent option if the enemy shields are being a huge problem.
.
		Warlock's Staff If the enemies are diving/bursting since the beginning, get this item to increase your HP and survive a bit more without sacrificing (a lot of) damage. Play safe until you stack it.
.
		Divine Ruin If the enemies have too much lifesteal (like Anubis) and/or healing (like Aphrodite) build this to lower their healing. It's more efficient in the early game. You may build it instead of Spear of the Magus on any build.
.
		Soul reaver A good option only if the enemy has too much HP/is tanky, but you need to deal great damage on them.
