Kukulkan the Glass Cannon

Patch 6.3

This is a kukulkan build that heavily builds around his passive which increases your Magical Power depending on how much mana you've got.

This is a hard build and is more intended for players that know how to play Kukulkan as this build makes him squishy but very powerful, you can expect up to 1114 magical power with a DMG camp buff on you.

With this build you want to play safe, you are a glass cannon, meaning that you output a lot of damage mid-late game but you are squishy. Keep your distance from you enemies and lower their health with your Whirlwind and then when they are below 50% health you can start you hunt.

If you got two or more enemy gods on your lane DO NOT try to play greedy and try to kill them if they are together, in these situations always try to have someone else with you. The best duo's with Kukulkan are gods with Roots and Crowd controls as this will help you kill.

Notes

Mage's Blessing - This is very useful starting items, you get bonus ability damage, physical power, magical power and mana regen. Evolved it also gives you 10% cooldown reduction. It is a good item to keep until you are ready to buy your last item and replace mage's blessing.

Potions - I tend to go more towards 2x Multi Potion & 1x Healing Potion. But you also could do 2x Healing Potion & 1x Mana Potion if you feel like you need extra healing.

Notes

When you return to base and you are lacking 700g to upgrade the Spellbook go ahead and buy Shoes instead. If possible you want to finish the Book of Thoth first since it gives you a boost in magical power.

Notes

Gem of Isolation - This is a good Item if the enemy has a lot of Crowd Control skills, it is also good if you feel like enemies are running away, the slow from this Item will help you hunt your prey down.

Spear of the Magus - Choose this item when you see that the enemy team is building Magical Protection and you simply lack the raw power and Obsidian Shard doesnt do much to bring their HP down.

Doom Orb - This item goes very well with Kukulkans passive as well as with Book of Thoth giving you more mogical power.

Rod of Tahuti - This is a very powerful late game item, you gain 150 magical power and 30 Mp5. The passive is the most important, if a enemy is below 50% HP you gain 25% additional Magical Power, in late game if build well, you will be able to bring down most enemy gods down to 50% health with Whirlwind and Basic attack easily, making you more lethal.

Notes

Breastplate of Valor - Pick this when the enemy team is mostly physical, it also gives you 300 Mana which will be turned into some extra Magical power.

Mantle of Discord - Pick this if the enemy team is a mix of physical and magical power, and mostly melee. The stun from this item can save your live giving you time to use Slipstream and flee away.

Magi's Cloak - This is a good item to pick if you feel you are getting hard Crowd Controls frequently.

Bancroft's Talon - This item gives you more self sustain, you can stay in battle much longer, pick this if you feel that ranged enemy gods are bullying you, slowly chipping your health from a distance.

Notes

Meditation Cloak - This is the best relic to get at the start of the match, Kukulkan at the start will feel squishy and it always helps in sticky situations.

Aegis Amulet - This relic is a good pick later on if the enemy team has a god with powerful ults, like another Kukulkan or Ares, since you are squishy you dont want to be picked off easily.

Magic Shell - This Relic is good if the things said above dont accure, and it gives you and your team some more sustain in battle.

Purification Beads - This goes well in pair with Magi's Orb, you can use it when Magi's Orb is on cooldown and you just dont want to get Crowd Controlled.

When you get your second relic, switch their places since late game you will not be using Meditation Cloak that frequently and it will be a more of a situational relic.

If you have the spare gold, upgrade each relic if possible.

Notes

Chalice of Healing & Chalice of Mana - Replace your basic potions with these, especially in longer lasting matches, it will save you some gold later on in the match, rather than spending up towards 250g every now and then.

Note: In the late game you likely wont struggle with Mana. Chalice of Mana is better suited to have until you see that you are not draining your mana quickly.

Potion of Magical Might - This gives you a small buff in Magical Power and 10% cooldown reduction. Buy this if you have good sustain and are not dying every minute since it wares of when you die.

Elixir of Power - This is exclusively a end game potion when you are fully built and have gold to spend, it is very good for that final push to finish the enemy team off, and/or when the match is suprisingly long.

Notes

This is the best scenario build that i tend to build if i do not need any other of the situational items and defensive items. With this build i can go up towards 1114 magical power (with Damage camp) and becoming the ultimate glass cannon.

Skills

Zephyr

Slipstream

Whirlwind

Spirit Of The Nine Winds

Notes

Whirlwind is the most important ability in this build, as it can clear minion waves easily letting you gain stacks on Mage's Blessing and Book of Thoth very fast.

Zephyr is mostly a finisher or if an enemy is running away, it gives massive damage later on and slows the enemy down. If an enemy already lost health from Whirlwind and starts slowly retreating then you want to hunt him down and use this skill to slow him down. On the other hand if the enemy is already fleeing, first use this skill and then Whirlwind in front of the enemy if you are unsure if you will kill him.
