Khepri

How to play Khepri

Khepri is a melee guardian from the Egyptian pantheon who deals magical damage. Top players play Khepri in the Support role.

In your kit, Abduct (dash, grab and pull) is your way in and out of fights. Solar Flare (area damage root) is your main crowd control. Rising Dawn (area damage, protect) adds damage and pressure. Your ultimate is Scarab's Blessing (bless ally, revive on death), on a long cooldown (about 110s at rank 1), so save it for fights that matter. Your passive is Fortitude: periodically shield allies.

Community guides level Rising Dawn, Abduct and Solar Flare first. Max Abduct first, then Rising Dawn, then Solar Flare.

Your job is to start fights and protect your team, not to get kills. Move in when your team is close enough to follow up, then stay near your hunter and protect them from anyone who jumps on them. Your build makes you very hard to kill, so you can stand in front and absorb damage. 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 Prophetic Cloak and Stampede, and you finish with Genji's Guard, Breastplate of Valor 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 Laceration, it reworks Abduct (dash, grab and attack). It changes what to build, so turn on Aspect in the tool when you play it.

Top players win most often against Da Ji, Artemis and Xing Tian, and struggle against Aladdin, Geb or Amaterasu. Against those, play safer and consider a defensive item earlier.
