How to play Mo & Krill
1Burrow
2Scorn
3ComboYour combo: Burrow under them and knock them up when emerging, Scorn them for damage and healing, then hold them with Combo (4m range, 2.4s channel).
Don’t waste: Combo only reaches 4m and a stun or silence breaks the channel; Unstoppable protects it.
Edge: Burrow gets you within 4m: emerge on top of the target you want to Combo.
From community hero guides, Oct 2026 patches, checked against deadlock.wiki. The same combo from the other side is on how to counter Mo & Krill.
Your kit
Deal damage to nearby enemies and heal yourself based on the damage done. Heal is stronger against enemy heroes.
Burrow underground, moving faster, and gaining spirit and bullet armor. Damage from enemy heroes will reduce the speed bonus. When you jump out, deal spirit damage, slow, and knockup.
Spray sand that disarms enemies in front of you and deals damage.
Hold the target in place, stunning them and dealing damage during the channel. If they die during, or within 3 seconds of Combo ending, you permanently gain max health.
