FAQ

How do I start a March of Giants Kragg build?
Buy cooldown reduction and a small defensive or energy item first, then grab boots so you can roam between the two mid lanes. Cooldowns are the foundation of the entire March of Giants Kragg build — everything else scales off how often you can stun.
What should I upgrade first on Kragg?
Q range. His ranged stun is short enough to be unreliable at the start, and range upgrades are what turn him from a melee brawler into a genuine lockdown threat.
Is Kragg a tank or a damage dealer?
He is a crowd-control bruiser. The ultimate stuns in an area and massively boosts his own auto attack damage, but his real value is the stun chains that let your team's DPS free-hit.
Can Kragg jungle in March of Giants?
There is no dedicated jungler role in the 4v4 format. Kragg's best fit is a roaming presence that floats between mid and objectives, applying wall stuns wherever the enemy least expects them.

Kragg is the March of Giants Giant that turns every wall into a death sentence, and building him correctly is the difference between a stun-lock monster and a slow-moving liability. If you have been hunting for a March of Giants Kragg build that actually holds up in real matches, you are in the right place — this guide covers his abilities, item priorities, upgrade order, and the wallbang combos that make him feel like a tankier Diablo.

March of Giants is a free-to-play 4v4 MOBA from Ubisoft where you command an army of Soldiers and deploy Battleworks instead of babysitting a single hero. The game is still working through playtest waves, so treat everything here as a living build: the framework is solid, but numbers will move.

Why Kragg Feels Like a Tankier Diablo

Kragg’s whole identity is stuns, knockback, and terrain abuse. Player experience from early playtest footage describes him as “basically Diablo” — a melee bruiser who punishes anyone who fights near a wall. The comparison sticks because his ultimate is an AoE stun that also buffs his own damage, reportedly close to doubling his auto attack output while it is active.

That combination is rare. Most Giants in March of Giants choose between crowd control or damage. Kragg gets both on one button, then layers cooldown reduction on top until the button is basically always available.

Two structural facts about the game shape every Kragg decision:

  • Matches are 4v4 with two mid lanes and no dedicated jungler.
  • Minion gold is shared, so leaving lane to farm camps is often a net loss, not a gain.

Community reports describe lanes getting wrecked by teammates who rotate away, leaving their partner stuck in a 2v1. Kragg can survive that, but only if you build defensively early instead of greedily.

Kragg Ability Breakdown

The table below reflects what players have observed in playtest matches. Ability names and tuning are still in flux, so focus on the function of each button rather than the exact wording.

Input Function Why It Matters
Q Ranged stun / poke Your combo starter, but its base range is short and “dinky” until upgraded
W AoE damage around Kragg Wave clear, chip damage, and Battlework pressure
Charge Gap-closer that shoves enemies The setup tool that makes wall stuns happen
Ultimate AoE stun + large self damage buff The core of the build — chain it after Q for a double stun
Passive / Shields Defensive layer that regenerates Determines when you can re-enter a fight

The takeaway: Kragg is a setup Giant. You are not the primary DPS. You are the reason your DPS gets free kills.

Core Item Priorities for the March of Giants Kragg Build

A March of Giants Kragg build that skips cooldown reduction is a wasted pick. His kit lives and dies by how often his stun is available, and community testing suggests the ultimate starts around a 30-second cooldown before items — long enough that it feels unplayable in a fast match.

Here is the priority order that early playtest players have landed on:

Stage Priority Reasoning
Opening Cooldown reduction + a defensive/energy item Survive trades and get more stuns per fight
First back Boots Kragg wants to roam between lanes, not sit in one
Early-mid Q range upgrade Fixes his shortest, weakest ability
Mid Stun duration/damage upgrades Turns “good CC” into “you cannot play the game”
Mid-late Raw damage You need to actually kill the people you lock down
Late Life steal, tank stats, mobility utility Sustain through long sieges and reposition faster

One recurring community favorite is a utility item that accelerates your return to the map — players report feeling noticeably faster after picking it up, which matters enormously in a game where being late to an objective loses the fight.

Upgrade Order: Range First, Then Stun, Then Damage

The single most repeated piece of advice from playtest footage is this: upgrade Q range before anything else. Kragg’s ranged stun starts with painfully short reach, and a stun you cannot land is a stun that does not exist.

Order Upgrade Impact
1 Q range Makes your opener reliable at real fight distances
2 Stun strength / duration Extends the lockdown window for your team
3 AoE on W Fine, efficient, and never wasted
4 Raw damage or energy scaling Needed once enemies start surviving your combo
5 Tankiness / shields Only if you are getting blown up before landing anything

If you are behind, swap steps 4 and 5. If you are snowballing, take damage earlier and end the game before the enemy catches up.

Wall Stun Combos and Roaming Patterns

This is where the March of Giants Kragg build starts to feel unfair. Kragg’s knockback into terrain creates a stun that has nothing to do with his cooldowns, which means good positioning lets you extend fights far beyond what your kit should allow.

Combo Sequence Best Used For
Wall Stun Charge → shove into wall → auto attacks Picking off isolated enemies
Double Stun Q stun → immediate ultimate Locking a target out of the fight
AoE Lockdown Ultimate first → Charge key targets to walls Team fights around outposts
Disengage Charge away from danger Surviving when your shields are down
Body Block Stand between your Soldiers and danger Protecting pushes and Battleworks

A few roaming rules from player experience:

  • Rotate between the two mid lanes. With no dedicated jungler, a roaming Kragg is the closest thing the game has to a ganker.
  • Never dive without shields. Kragg is tanky, not immortal, and shields are what let you walk out after a stun.
  • Watch for Siege Dozers and Colossus pushes. These objectives decide games faster than kills do.
  • Don’t chase objectives 1v3. Community reports are full of Kragg players who went for an outpost alone while their team farmed elsewhere and lost it anyway.

Battleworks, Soldiers, and Kragg’s Macro Game

Battleworks are the other half of March of Giants. Bunkers, trenches, and soldier drops reshape lanes, and Kragg supports them well because he can hold a choke point longer than almost anyone.

Two practical notes:

  • Bunkers can steal last hits. Player reports complain about allied bunkers eating minion gold. Position your Soldiers so the income still flows to you.
  • Build Battleworks near objectives, not on top of the enemy base. One playtest player admitted dropping a shop directly onto the enemy’s doorstep and instantly regretting it.

Because minion gold is shared, your job as Kragg is not to farm every wave — it is to stand in the wave, keep your partner safe, and make the other lane miserable.

Common Kragg Mistakes

Mistake Why It Hurts Fix
Skipping CDR Ult stays on a 30-second cooldown Buy cooldown reduction first
Upgrading damage before Q range Your stun never lands Range is always upgrade #1
Ignoring shields You die in three hits Wait for shield regen before re-engaging
Leaving lane for camps Shared gold means a net loss Stay in lane with your partner
Overbuilding tank You stun people and nobody kills them Add damage once your CC is online

Final Thoughts

The March of Giants Kragg build rewards restraint. Land your range upgrade, stack cooldown reduction, learn which walls are actually worth shoving people into, and you will spend most games permanently stunning targets while your team cleans up. Kragg is not the flashiest Giant in the roster, but when he is built right, he is the one the enemy team talks about after the match.
