Khafre/Khufu the new S5 hero must be buffed

Hi, I opened this topic not because I have this hero but because I really think that a new slow hero should be useful in more aspects of the game, not just for a green titans.
Everyone who knows me knows that I stand up for every hero he deserves, not just the ones I own.
So here its what I think for this hero: with this special he it’s fire just to two until he charge at least one of the opponents hero it’s dead so he must be average to be useful and in raid attack, for defense his stats it’s not enough to fire at least once so his stats must be raised if he remain slow, he it’s not good and for events because his EDD it’s applied only on the target and not to all adjacent hero.
So let see what you guys and gals are thinking about this hero, how he must be fixed?

Agree. Seems almost all s5 5* subpar compared to s4 5*

I was pleased when he was the only 5* that popped out of the portal and then I read his card, what a disappointment he is. So much so that I’ve left him and rather work on the 4*s.
He definitely needs a buff to his specials and he needs to be average speed to at least be viable with the current meta

Buff, buff and buff

I would buff him so all enemies hit get the EDD.

It might be a mistake that he is slow and applies EDD just to one target, whereas costumed marjana, which is not only an older hero but also an easier one to pull given that you can get her from HA10 or the costume portal, applies EDD to three at fast speed! It has no sense.

Even if it applies it to all those hit, it still would only likely get 2 due to the chaining effect.

I look at Zenobia, she is average and guarantees a 320% hit on 2 (even if only one left does it twice). Khafre mostly will hit 2 max for 350% at slow. Let’s say the edd and red tile attack up is equal so they cancel eachother out then you get a slightly higher hit and the chance to go higher than hitting 2 enemies in specific situations but that cost is going from average to slow. Definitely not worth it if you had the choice and it’s not as if Zenobia is a great hero herself.

Think he has to do more at slow to be honest otherwise nobody will level him. There are always duds in each Portal, but it’s saying a lot when all the 4s in this one are more intriguing than him

Lastly: even as a Titan specialist, it’s not worth it over c Marj because even though the edd goes to 70-something is less consistent and you have to time it correctly to get that, so he does well at nothing :man_shrugging:

I have pulled Khafre and he went directly on the bench, without any feeders. As a slow heroe, he will only be ready when there are already opponents defeated and only one or two enemies left for Khafre. I have a similar problem with Sir Roostley and Rayne - but these are medium at least, not slow.
Khafre could be useful as a red tank or a flank in defense,

he should be given skadi like attack boost on special skill… like damage increases from 350 to 400 and than 450and than 500 …per each dead enemy. ( skadi is average speed.)

Hhh mdr khafre are you serious

He is very strong if

Well I agree with most of what you said and that he should be buffed, though I don’t agree that Zenobia is just an average hero. Even her thread shows 66% find her stronger than most (with even 8% who think she is OP).

I do agree that C. Marj is a better titan specialist, but even after 1000+ pulls on that portal I still haven’t obtained her. So she’s not exactly easily accessible and I would love Khafre to join my roster :joy:

I also agree there are duds in every portal (the more recent Exeera screams at me lol), but Papyros is much worse and less desired IMO. Though I’m surprised that more people prefer Khafre over Sobek but hey maybe it’s a similar reason to me (not having a 5* red EDD).

SG changed the name of this hero but again they ignored all of us and didn’t change anything else on him :frowning:

@Petri this don’t change anything on this pathetic hero, please fix him and make it real S5 hero.

The complaining over Khufu is too much, give it a break. He’s a solid hero and does a lot.

Maybe he’s less useful if you already have C-Marj, but you can say the same for a lot of heroes in your roster that have a similar ability.

When one hero deserves it I will tell it, when one hero don’t deserves it I can’t tell it, we have a lot of slow hero, do you see me to all of them sai that they are useless or pathetic?

It’s a gross overstatement to say that this hero is “useless” or “pathetic”. He does so much.

If Costume Marj didn’t exist, would you say the same thing?

Bobo is slow and only applies his DD to 1 and yet he is used by countless top teams in events. How is Khufu different?

And what exactly he does? The EDD only to one?

But he exist and make this what Khafre/Khufu in faster speed and much better (apply EDD to 3 targets)

What you will prefer a hero why will apply DD or EDD?Also Bobo hit allso This one hit or to all or only to 1.

I don’t understand your counter points?

350% damage to one that chains (potentially to 5). Minimum -41% EDD but up to 73% EDD (no higher in the game). 70% chance to do 70% damage to all on cast. 70% chance to do 234 sand damage to all on cast. 10% chance to do -35% accuracy for 2 turns and burn damage which increases exponentially if the hero dies from enemy’s special skill.

Compare that to all other slow, hit-all/chain heroes in the game and it’s substantial. Sure there are lots of variables for him to not hit all or passives/family not activate, but that’s because overall he does so much. It’s called ‘balance’.

Take blue for example, C-Magni, Isarnia, Finley, Athena, Morel and Bobo all do DD at different speeds for different durations. They all have a usefulness in different areas of the game. And the top choice for DD for events isn’t always the fastest hero. Same with Khufu. Most people don’t have all of these heroes, you use who they have. Don’t have C-Marj, Khufu is amazing. If you have C-Marj, Khufu can still be great and under the right circumstances do much more damage. Just wait until new events come up, you’ll see him at the top of the leaderboard. @JekylandHyde will likely have replaced C-Marj with Khufu, see where he ends up.

The comparison to Bobo is to say that in events where you could choose a hero that does DD to all, many top players prefer his DD to 1 because it is that much bigger. Same goes for Khufu, it is only EDD to 1, but by comparison can be much greater than C-Marj, so the potential for damage is greater.

You may feel Khufu doesn’t have a purpose for you or your roster, but that doesn’t mean the hero is useless or pathetic. I have Morel so don’t use C-Magni but C-Magni still has a place in the game.

Why not focus buff threads on heroes that actually could use it?

small nitpick: in Bobo’s case, the trick is that his defense down is cast to the highest defense enemy, but it will apply to all if they have the same defense stat.

i don’t have Morel, and i’ve started using regular Magni more than C. Magni, but i still largely agree.
