What Knull does
Alternates between stacking Living Abyss with his Medium and Heavy Attacks and cashing it in with Corruption from his specials, which turns that Abyss into Armor Breaks. While the opponent is Corrupted, his Light Attacks add instant Bleeds worth 65% of the hit, his Medium and Heavy Attacks heal him and inflict Degeneration, and each Corruption gives him 2 seconds of 
Unstoppable and Unblockable.
Background
When all that existed was the darkness there was Knull and he thrived in it.
But when the Celestial’s creations began consuming his Living Abyss with radiant light, he retaliated.
Knull felled one of these primordial gods, absorbing its power and forming All-Black, the Necrosword.
With the power of the Celestials on his side and sheer darkness as his weapon, Knull spawned an army of his own, the Symbiotes.
Creatures formed from darkness and fear and designed to extinguish the light.
