Kukulkan

How to play Kukulkan

Kukulkan is a ranged mage from the Maya pantheon who deals magical damage. Top players play Kukulkan in the Mid lane.

In your kit, Slipstream (speed up; dash from whirlwind) is your way in and out of fights. Zephyr (projectile damage slow) slows enemies. Whirlwind (area damage over time) adds damage and pressure. Your ultimate is Spirit of the Nine Winds (line damage, knockback), on a long cooldown (about 90s at rank 1), so save it for fights that matter. Your passive is Power of the Wind Jewel: bonus intelligence from max mana.

Community guides level Whirlwind, Zephyr and Whirlwind first. Max Zephyr first, then Whirlwind, then Slipstream.

Most of your damage comes from abilities, so fight from behind your front line and never be the closest god to the enemy. Look for the moment your crowd control can land, then follow up with the rest of your damage. In the mid lane, clear the wave quickly, then help the side lanes or the jungle.

Start with Archmage's Gem, then buy Chronos' Pendant. Your core is Book of Thoth and Spear of Desolation, and you finish with Polynomicon, Rod of Tahuti and Obsidian Shard. A good relic is Aegis of Acceleration. If the enemy team heals a lot or you keep dying, open the full tool and enter the enemy gods for the exact swaps.

If you own Aspect of the Squall, it reworks Power of the Wind Jewel (bonus intelligence from max mana), Zephyr (projectile damage slow), Slipstream (dash, steal protections) and Whirlwind (area damage, knockback). It changes what to build, so turn on Aspect in the tool when you play it.

Top players win most often against Nox, Danzaburou and Ah Puch, and struggle against Anubis, Ishtar or Mercury. Against those, play safer and consider a defensive item earlier.
