Horus

How to play Horus

Horus is a melee warrior from the Egyptian pantheon who deals physical damage. Top players play Horus in the Support role.

In your kit, Fracture (dash stun, protection debuff) is your way in and out of fights. Updraft (area knock-up, gust slow) is your main crowd control. Protector's Surge (ally flight, heal) adds damage and pressure. Your ultimate is To The Skies! (team teleport, shield), on a long cooldown (about 105s at rank 1), so save it for fights that matter. Your passive is Resolute: stack protections, heal.

Community guides level Updraft, Fracture and Protector's Surge first. Max Fracture first, then Updraft, then Protector's Surge.

You are a front line fighter who deals damage and takes it. Walk into the fight first, start it with your crowd control, and stay on the enemy your team is focusing. Fracture, Protector's Surge and To The Skies! keeps you in the fight longer than they expect. As support, stay with your duo lane partner early and use your crowd control to set up kills.

Start with Heroism, then buy Gauntlet of Thebes. Buy it early so it finishes stacking. Your core is Runeforged Hammer and Prophetic Cloak, and you finish with Stampede, Genji's Guard and Freya's Tears. A good relic is Blink Rune. 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 the Falcon, it reworks Fracture (dash stun, protection debuff), Protector's Surge (ally flight, heal) and To The Skies! (team teleport, shield). It changes what to build, so turn on Aspect in the tool when you play it.

Top players win most often against Nox, Kali and Anubis, and struggle against Aladdin, Osiris or Cupid. Against those, play safer and consider a defensive item earlier.
