Overview

If you like to constantly annoy enemies and stop them on their tracks, Khufra's unique skill set is just for you. He's not a very popular pick, but people underestimates what he can do and dominates even if he's considered Off-META! I value your search for greatness so READ and LIKE for more insightfule content!

Strengths

Khufra is an initiator-type tank. Excells in ambushing, crowd control, chasing enemies. One of the mobile tanks out there that can rotate fast, and support in teamfights almost every time. Best in annoying enemies with his unique ability (2nd skill - Bouncing Ball) that stops dashing enemies. Great counter for assasins and stunning priority targets before the fight even starts.

Weaknesses

Weak against heroes that gains CC Immunity. Highly skill-dependent so landing skill shots is crucial. Also weak against heroes that can interrupt 2nd skill and those that aren't affected by it.

Finma's Khufra vs MGC

Your only non-negotiables here are the first 3 items. Choose High HP items because that compliments Khufra's Skills. Before, I used to include Cursed Helmet instead of Guardian Helmet but because of the update on Guardian Helmet, it provides more sustainability as it inherited Twilight Armor's passive.

Finma's Khufra vs PHY

This build is generally good against well-spreaded physical attack enemy composition. If you're expecting more skill-based PHY dmg, use this build. I suggest building Dreadnought armor before purchasing Chastise Pauldron first and proceed as follows.

Finma's Khufra vs MM

This gives more defense and sustain if you're up against heroes that heavily relies on basic attacks. Specifically designed if you're up against heroes like Lesley, Irithel, Ling, Obsidia, Minsitthar, Aulus, etc.

Finma's Khufra

This emblem set prioritizes Movement Spd. The idea is making Khufra be able rotate on the map faster than the opponent's roamer to position, initiate, and bait out skills because of high mobility. You won't expect a bouncing ball to move soo freely don't you? Next thing they know is that they've missed their skills because you're a hard target to hit because of speed. Also very good for chasing and helps your passive's heal!

Battle Spell

For this guide, we'll use Khufra more aggressively, sacrificing range for additional CC. Forget flicker tricks and being fancy because Petrify offers low risk, high reward plays. Perfect for Off-META and unexpected plays! This spell pairs very well with all of his skills: (1st - petri -- for initiating) (2nd - petri -- for chasing) (petri - Ult -- for secured sets).

Early Dominance

At the start of the game, get the 1st skill and help your mid-laner to clear as fast as possible. Forget dueling and aim your first skill to the minions and trigger Concussive Blast to clear and rotate to gold lane with your mid-laner immediately to gank and get the early first blood and give your team an edge. I've won soo many games doing this with my mid-laner and having the upper hand early on.

First Turtle Dominance

Before the turtle spawns, assist in the exp lane to secure a fast clear with the exp laner and get in position. You're doing this so your exp laner can front while you're waiting for your lvl 4 (because that will be the most case scenario). And with enough time, you should be able to get your ult and use it to stun and control the enemy jungler.

Aren't you so tough?

In the later stages of the game, many players forget that no man is an island. You can immediately initiate when the enemy's roamer get out of position and you have enough teammates to back you up to take down the roamer or the cocky exp laner of the enemy. Choose your battles, and remember that nmhigher numbers win!

Caged (Tower Diving Technique)

This is how you tower dive very aggressively with Khufra. This one is very risky, but very worth it if you done it right. You'll position yourself behind the bush in the tower. Yes, the enemy will see you coming there and they won't expect it. Your high mobility will compensate for that vision, and you'll be in position when you needed. Charge the 1st skill when you get to the bush, and get that tower dive. This cuts off the target's escape route and guarantees that they will come to you. Bonus tip: they often become chickens and just press themselves to the wall where the tower is which makes them very easy targets when you're in this very uncomfortable position, easy aim and easy ult!

Best With Granger

100% co-op win rate

Khufra can easily lock down enemies which can make them easy targets for Granger. Granger's long ult range compliments Khufra's long 1st skill range which means that there's always a follow up for every set you make if you have a Granger in your team.

Watch Out For Joy

20% counter win rate

Against very good Joy users, Khufra is hard to utilize. Joy's CC Immunity at full stacks makes her escape Khufra's CC and move around freely while doing heavy mgc dmg. Very deadly for the team and unstoppable in most cases.
