Khepri is a very charismatic and fun character to play!
His size symbolizes his ability to stay on the front line and be useful both defensively and offensively.
His main role fits as support, as he does not have considerable damage, however, he can take a lot of damage and is the only god who can revive. Using him as Solo or Jungler can be quite challenging and will require a completely revamped build. However, for these occasions, you can use his new aspect, which makes ability 1 scale with basic attack, making him a bit more offensive, despite removing the pull control applied to the enemy.
Starting with his PASSIVE, over time Khepri emits an aura that gives a shield to himself and his allies within a short distance from where he is, so always stay close to your allies to guarantee this bonus and block enemy basic attacks, keeping the backliner safe.
His first ability serves both to start a fight, pulling the enemy and leaving them vulnerable, as well as for movement, as an escape tool or to get closer to allies.
His second ability deals damage and gives protections to allies, so always position yourself in a way that you can take advantage of these resources. It’s a good ability for clearing waves and chipping away at the enemy's health. (Ability that always steals the kill, happens A LOT).
The third ability is an area STUN control and has a small damage, it is often used in combo with the first ability, providing long vulnerability to the enemy and helping to land the run. Use it wisely as the cooldowns are long.
The Ultimate is a Reviver. You need to be aware of the game movements at all times, if an ally is in a situation where they won’t escape. If the ally dies during the blessing, they are reborn and you receive a permanent bonus until the end of the match.
Playing with Khepri is about embodying his protective spirit and staying alert. Force control on opponents whenever possible and reduce the dangers posed to allies. Be patient and find synergy between movements and the use of abilities. Be prepared for possible ganks and to rescue teammates.
In terms of build, always reinforce defense and try to improve the cooldown of your abilities so you can be more active in fights. Items that stack with control are very useful, the Gem of Isolation can also help you keep enemies from having time to flee.
I've been playing this god since his release in Smite 1, I have Rank X, and in the new one, I'm already evolving a lot. A very safe and fun choice to play, I truely recommend it!
