How to play as Popol and Kupa
Of the pluses, we note that the hero is endowed with strong explosive damage, there are control effects, he can track bushes with the help of ice traps, due to which it is difficult to take him by surprise. Equipped with a shield and regeneration.
However, there are also negative points - Popol is highly dependent on Kupa, because of which you will have to carefully monitor the health of the wolf and control his actions. The shooter itself is thin, there are no instant escapes.
At the initial stage, the character is very strong. Farm the lane quickly, earn gold and try to destroy the enemy player. Keep an eye out for nearby bushes to avoid an unexpected gank by an assassin or mage from the opposing team, set ice traps there. Destroy forest monsters nearby, help the forester pick up the Turtle.
Remember that Koopa always follows the shooter's attacks. Don't forget to call the wolf away from the tower so it doesn't die from incoming damage. Without his friend, Popol is significantly limited in skills and defenseless.
With the appearance of the ult, deal with the first enemy tower in your own lane as quickly as possible and go to the aid of the allies. Participate in team battles, don't forget to clear minion squads and additionally farm from forest monsters in order to collect a full set of equipment faster and maximize your performance.
The best combinations of Popol and Kupa
- Throw with help third skill trap in the thick of rivals to slow them down in the marked area. Then activate ultimate и first skill command Coupe to bite enemies for devastating damage.
- When the ability ends or when your health is low, call the wolf back second skill.
- Start the attack with an activation ults, and then stun the target with an empowered first skill. Then create an ice area third abilityHelp Coupe basic attack.
Stay close to your teammates in the late game. Keep an eye on Kupa - losing the wolf will make the character very weak, and the summoning cooldown is too long. Without a partner, the shooter loses an incredible amount of combat potential. Don't be afraid to go one-on-one, but don't try to initiate fights against the whole team. Push lanes and participate in ganks to emerge victorious from the match.
Popol is an interesting shooter, which is interesting to play, but you should get used to Kupa and learn how to follow him. This concludes the guide, we wish you good luck in battles! We would love your opinion about the hero in the comments below.
