Зул Xul

Xul's Cursed Strikes Build gives Xul much survivability thanks to Harvest Vitality 's sustain, while Weaken provides considerable resistance by reducing enemy damage dealt. Since this build requires you to be constantly hitting many enemies with Cursed Strikes , it excels against melee-heavy compositions with little crowd control . This build is the most effective at capturing or clearing Mercenaries, considering Xul will have Cursed Strikes up nearly all the time, with very high Attack Speed. Backlash can be replaced with Shade when facing many Basic Attacks-reliant Heroes, like Raynor or Illidan . Both Poison Nova and Skeletal Mages are useful, though it is recommended to go with Poison Nova when facing many melee Heroes. Skeletal Mages will perform well when you need some kind of crowd control to reach the targets you are looking for.

Xul's Bone Prison Build has much more burst than the other options. It is a great choice if the opposing team has lots of crowd control , ranged Heroes, or burst damage, since you will not be able to get much value out of Cursed Strikes . Backlash can be replaced with Shade when facing many Basic Attack-reliant Heroes, like Raynor , Illidan , or Greymane . If you are having trouble facing the opposing laner, we recommend changing both the Level 4 and 7 Talents into Grim Scythe and Harvest Vitality respectively, since they will give you much more self-sustain while clearing waves, without crippling your burst capabilities.
