Overall
Kren is a backline artillery hero built around explosives and knockback. At battle start, landmines are planted behind the enemy formation; each detonation stuns, deals area damage, and permanently increases his attack. His ultimate retreats him to the allied side where he shells the entire enemy half for an extended barrage, immune to displacement the whole time. Normal attacks cycle into enhanced strikes that knock enemies back and stun. A smoke bomb thrown onto the frontline ally blocks incoming crits while boosting the ally's crit chance; the smoke also slows enemies caught inside, and a second bomb targets clustered foes. His kit rewards enemies being pushed into mines and keeps him safely distant while dealing sustained area damage.

Kren returns to the allied side of the battlefield to set “Hot Stuff” down on the ground and fires 1 shell every 0.5 seconds for 10 seconds instead of using his Normal Attack. Each shell deals 180% AoE damage to enemies. During the shelling period, Kren cannot move, be knocked back or knocked into the air. Shelling shall cease if there are no enemies on the enemy side of the battlefield.
Kren lobs a smoke bomb at the allied hero which is farthest forward, enshrouding them in smoke for 8 seconds. Allies enshrouded by the smoke cannot be dealt Critical Strikes and have their own Crit Ratings increased by 25 points.
At the beginning of battle Kren fires a flare into the sky, calling in a friend of his who sets down 5 landmines behind the enemy’ formation, at the edge of the battlefield. If an enemy steps on a landmine it will explode, dealing 300% AoE damage, also stunning enemies for 5 seconds.
Kren charges towards the enemy that is nearest to the allied side of the battlefield and uses “Lady” to attack them. This attack deals 240% damage to the target and sends them hurtling backwards, Kren is also knocked backwards as a result of “Lady’s” force.
