It is the cooldown this lane revolves around.

Avoid

• Walking to lane on the same path every wave against a hero with Mo & Krill's engage range.

Do

• Zero ranged presence — 2.8 damage per pellet means they contribute essentially nothing outside a few metres.
• Every one of their damage tools requires being close, so a mid- or long-range laning duo can simply refuse to engage.
• A bishop parked in lane slides through both laners for 70 damage and a slow every few seconds

Avoid

• 930 base health is one of the largest pools in the game and makes them extremely hard to push out of lane.
• Scorn clears troopers and heals off them simultaneously, so they sustain and farm from the same button — the top opener is Scorn, Scorn, Sand Blast at 66.9% WR (deadlocklabs.gg).

Do

• Their first real spike is Scorn Scorn 13s Cooldown A burst of damage to everything close by that converts a portion of the damage dealt into healing, with a substantially larger return when the damage lands on enemy heroes.

• Your spike is ult unlock: Develop Queen Develop Queen 30m Range210s Cooldown Solomon summons a queen that crashes down on an area for spirit damage. Crowd Control 1.25s stun from the lines, plus a 15% slow for 1.5s (30% at Tier 2). Damage 120 spirit damage (+1.4 per Spirit) on the crash and again on the lines. Mobility The queen leaps up to 16m per move, with 5s between moves; 1 -40s cooldown 2 +15% slow, and the lines checkmate heroes below 200 health, executing them 5 +2 moves and +1 square range adds 120-damage crashes and Stun lines that he can move twice more

Avoid

• Taking an even fight against Mo & Krill on their spike timing when you could take the same fight ten minutes later on yours.

Do

• Watch for Burrow Burrow 40s Cooldown Mo & Krill dive underground, moving faster and gaining both spirit and bullet armour while submerged. Crowd Control Slow plus a knockup on everyone near the emergence point. Damage Spirit damage on emergence; Mobility Increased move speed while burrowed (+4 m/s at T3) on a base 8 m/s frame… 1 +50 spin DPS while burrowed. 2 +4s burrow time, +2 radius. 5 -20s cooldown, +4 m/s move speed. . Shoot the burrow mound. Hero damage directly reduces the speed bonus, so contesting the approach turns a fast dive into a slow one you can walk away from.
• Kite. Their entire damage output requires close range and their spreadshot does 2.8 per pellet — holding 15m+ with a mid- or long-range hero makes them a non-threat.

Avoid

• Spending your own escape before Burrow Burrow 40s Cooldown Mo & Krill dive underground, moving faster and gaining both spirit and bullet armour while submerged.

Ability 2

  It puts you somewhere you did not choose to be — slow plus a Knockup on everyone near the emergence point.

  • Shoot the burrow mound. Hero damage directly reduces the speed bonus, so contesting the approach turns a fast dive into a slow one you can walk away from.
  • Spread out. The emergence Knockup is AoE, so standing apart means it catches one person instead of three.
  • The travel path is visible on the ground — reposition to a spot with no cover for them to surface behind, or back onto high ground they must climb to.
• Combo Combo 4m Range150s Cooldown Mo & Krill grab a single enemy, hold them in place stunned while chewing through them for the duration of the channel. Crowd Control Full stun for the channel duration (roughly 3s per dramalock.org, +0.7s at… Damage Continuous damage over the channel; Mobility None — both parties are locked in place, which is the risk. 1 +100% lifesteal. 2 -30s cooldown, +50% bullet resist. 5 +0.7s duration, +40 damage per second with increased scaling. Ultimate

  Once this lands the fight is usually already decided — full Stun for the channel duration (roughly 3s per dramalock.org, +0.7s at T3).

  • Interrupt it. Any Stun, Knockup, Silence or displacement on Mo & Krill breaks the channel and wastes a 150s ultimate.
  • Both participants are stationary and grouped for three seconds — that is a free AoE target for your own ultimate.
  • Do not let them finish the kill: a Debuff Remover or a heal on the held target denies the permanent max-health reward entirely, since the target has to actually die.
• Sand Blast Sand Blast 25m Range2.5s Duration40s Cooldown A spray of sand in a cone ahead that deals damage and disarms everyone it catches, preventing them from using their weapon. Crowd Control Disarm, roughly 2.5s per deadlock.io.

Ability 3

  More lockdown on its own cooldown — Disarm, roughly 2.5s per deadlock.io.

  • It is a cone in front of them — strafe wide or get behind them and it applies nothing.
  • Disarm blocks weapons, not abilities. If you are ability-based (Paige, Paradox, Pocket) you can keep fighting through it; if you are gun-based, use the window to reposition instead of trying to shoot.
  • Debuff Remover clears the Disarm and is worth holding specifically for the moment before they commit Combo Combo 4m Range150s Cooldown Mo & Krill grab a single enemy, hold them in place stunned while chewing through them for the duration of the channel.

  Their sustain and their farming button in one. It is why they can sit in a trooper wave and stay topped up, and why a 1v1 in melee range goes badly for almost everyone.

  • It is a short-radius point-blank pulse — staying more than a few metres away denies it entirely, and their spreadshot cannot punish you at that distance either.
  • Do not feed it multiple bodies. Scorn heals per target hit, so a clumped team is what makes them unkillable.

1. 1 Burrow Burrow 40s Cooldown Mo & Krill dive underground, moving faster and gaining both spirit and bullet armour while submerged. Crowd Control Slow plus a knockup on everyone near the emergence point.

   Burrow first. It is their only engage and their only real escape; force it on a trooper wave or a fake overextend and they are a slow-approaching shotgun hero for the next 20-40 seconds.

2. 2 Sand Blast Sand Blast 25m Range2.5s Duration40s Cooldown A spray of sand in a cone ahead that deals damage and disarms everyone it catches, preventing them from using their weapon.

   Sand Blast second — bait the Disarm from behind cover or with a summon, then engage when your gun is safe for the next window.

3. 3 Scorn Scorn 13s Cooldown A burst of damage to everything close by that converts a portion of the damage dealt into healing, with a substantially larger return when the damage lands on enemy heroes.

   Scorn third: make them use it as wave clear rather than as a heal in a fight, since its cooldown is short but its impact in a brawl is decisive.

T1's Lifesteal. Strong evidence
• You fight at mid range and Mo & Krill has to reach close range, but they have the movement to do it — which means the matchup is not a range advantage, it is a cooldown one. Their gap-closer is the only thing bridging the band, so track it rather than tracking their health. With it up you are in their range and should behave accordingly; with it down you are in a range they cannot reach and every second of that window is free. Strategic

• Mo & Krill will shove the wave into your Guardian to push you off souls, and you are not fast enough to walk around it. The thing to protect is the floating orb — the ground orb drops and cannot be denied, so half your income is safe no matter what they do, and the contest is only ever over the other 50. Position on your Guardian's side of the wave so you are already in range of the floating orbs when they pop, and give up the forward orbs rather than crossing for them. Strategic

• Your kit is built around lockdown and that is worth less on the Mid Boss than on Mo & Krill — it carries 35% Debuff Resist as of 03-06-2026, so your disables run roughly two-thirds as long on it. Plan the take around damage and positioning rather than a CC chain, and spend the chain on Mo & Krill if they contest. The payoff is worth the trip: 3,000 souls + 50 per minute, two permanent buffs each, and a Rejuvenator crystal giving up to three single-use revives that return a player at full health after 3 seconds, for 3 minutes.

• You are not going to kill Mo & Krill in a normal teamfight and trying to is how fights are lost. Treat them as terrain: fight around them, spend your damage on whoever is behind them, and only commit to killing them once anti-heal and shred are actually online. Strategic
• You have peel and Mo & Krill is the dive threat, so your job in the fight is not damage — it is being in range of whoever they are jumping on. Position between their entry point and your squishiest teammate and hold your peel tool for the moment they commit, not for the moment they appear. Strategic
• Mo & Krill brings enough lockdown that Stun sequencing matters. Community reporting describes Stun diminishing returns of roughly 10% then 30% inside an 8-second window, applying to stuns only and not to silences, slows, disarms or hexes — so their follow-up chain may be shorter than the first one felt. Treat this as unconfirmed, but it is worth knowing before you burn a cleanse on the opening Stun. Uncertain

• Against Mo & Krill's crowd control, understand what Debuff Resist actually buys you: it shortens duration, never magnitude.

• Mo & Krill is a durability check, and the maths favours shred over raw damage here. Resistances stack multiplicatively, but shred is pooled and then subtracted from total resist — so the higher their resist climbs, the more each point of shred is worth.

• Anti-heal against Mo & Krill is bought correctly and applied at the wrong moment. Healbane Healbane 1,600 souls Tier 2ArmorPassive +8s Duration +7 Spirit Power -35% Incoming Healing -35% Incoming Healing +275 Heal On Hero Kill 's reduction runs for 8 seconds from your Spirit Damage and Toxic Bullets Toxic Bullets 3,200 souls Tier 3WeaponPassive -35% Incoming Healing -35% Incoming Healing ' runs while the bleed is up — both are windows, and re-applying the same source before it expires does not stack a second instance. The mistake is opening the fight clean and reaching for anti-heal once they start healing; by then you have spent the fight. Land it before they commit, then keep the window refreshed rather than re-triggering it. Strong evidence
• The reflex buy against a hero who keeps deleting you is Metal Skin Metal Skin 3,200 souls Tier 3ArmorInstantCast +24s Cooldown +5s Duration +12% Bullet Resist -20% Dash Distance , and against Mo & Krill it does nothing. Metal Skin Metal Skin 3,200 souls Tier 3ArmorInstantCast +24s Cooldown +5s Duration +12% Bullet Resist -20% Dash Distance is bullet-damage immunity only — Spirit Damage, abilities and every status effect pass straight through it, and you pay −1.5 m/s move speed and −20% dash distance for the privilege. The three big defensive actives are deliberately orthogonal: Metal Skin Metal Skin 3,200 souls Tier 3ArmorInstantCast +24s Cooldown +5s Duration +12% Bullet Resist -20% Dash Distance stops bullets, Unstoppable Unstoppable 6,400 souls Tier 4ArmorInstantCast +60s Cooldown +5.5s Duration +125 Bonus Health +25% Debuff Resist Builds from Debuff Reducer stops statuses, Ethereal Shift Ethereal Shift 6,400 souls Tier 4TechInstantCast +37s Cooldown +4s Duration +5s Buff Duration +30% Spirit Resist +20 Spirit Power stops everything but disables you. Mo & Krill is a spirit threat, so it is the last two you are choosing between. Documented
• The finishing heavy melee on Mo & Krill is worse than it feels. Melee Damage is mitigated twice — once by Bullet Resist and again by Melee Resist — so it is the single worst damage channel to point at a stacked-resist target, and the wind-up is long enough for a parry that stuns you for 3 seconds with no Debuff Resist reduction available. Finish with your gun or an ability, not with melee. Strong evidence
