How to play Anhur

Anhur is a ranged hunter from the Egyptian pantheon who deals physical damage. Top players play Anhur in the Carry (duo) lane.

In your kit, Disperse (leap and knock back) is your way in and out of fights. Impale (knockback to stun) is your main crowd control. Shifting Sands (obelisk and sands) adds damage and pressure. Your ultimate is Desert Fury (throw many spears), on a long cooldown (about 90s at rank 1), so save it for fights that matter. Your passive is Enfeeble: attacks weaken enemies.

Community guides level Impale, Disperse and Shifting Sands first. Max Impale first, then Shifting Sands, then Disperse.

Your basic attacks are most of your damage, so keep attacking whenever it is safe. Stand at the edge of your range behind your front line and hit whoever is closest. Your power grows with every item, so farm safely early and avoid risky fights. Use Disperse to reposition or escape, not to charge in. In the duo lane, last hit minions for gold and let your support start fights.

Start with Sharpshooter's Arrow, then buy Devourer's Gauntlet. Buy it early so it finishes stacking. Your core is Dagger of Frenzy and Dominance, and you finish with The Executioner, Riptalon and Silverbranch Bow. A good relic is Aegis of Acceleration. If the enemy team heals a lot or you keep dying, open the full tool and enter the enemy gods for the exact swaps.

If you own Aspect of Pride, it reworks Enfeeble (chain attacks for speed). It changes what to build, so turn on Aspect in the tool when you play it.

Top players win most often against Danzaburou, Atlas and Chaac, and struggle against Khepri, Gilgamesh or Da Ji. Against those, play safer and consider a defensive item earlier.

Skill order
