SEASON 42 PROFILE
Desert TyrantKhufra covers a huge distance with Tyrant's Revenge and turns Bouncing Ball into a no-dash zone. He does not need a spectacular engage every minute; simply standing between an enemy and their escape can disable an assassin's entire plan.
DATA REVIEWED 13.10.2026 · PATCH 2.2.16
HOW TO PLAY
Charge Tyrant's Revenge out of vision and aim at the route the opponent must cross, not their current position. If it misses, retreat before activating Bouncing Ball without support.
Around Turtle, reserve Bouncing Ball for Natalia, Mathilda or any hero that depends on a dash. Tyrant's Rage becomes much stronger when it can push targets into a wall.
At Lord, control one flank and force the enemy to reveal themselves. Committing on Brody or Beatrix may justify the risk; spending everything on the front line leaves the back line free.

Every 12 seconds, Khufra activates the Spell Curse left by Esmeralda and enhances his next Basic Attack. The enhanced attack gains 4.9 units of range, deals damage equal to 120% of his Total Physical Attack, slows the target by 30% for 1.5 seconds and restores 8% of Khufra's Max HP on hit. Each time one of Khufra's skills applies a control effect to an enemy hero, Spell Curse's cooldown is reduced by 4 seconds.
Khufra charges and launches himself in a direction, dealing Physical Damage based partly on his Max HP. He stops when he reaches maximum range or hits an enemy hero, then damages nearby enemies and knocks them airborne. Charging longer increases the travel distance and knock-up duration.
Khufra wraps himself into a bouncing ball, increasing his Physical and Magic Defense. Enemy heroes who try to dash through him are knocked airborne. Each bounce deals Magic Damage based partly on Khufra's Max HP and heavily slows nearby enemies.
Khufra pulls back all enemy targets around him toward his front, dealing 300–600 Physical Damage and slowing them down for 1.25–1.75 seconds. If the enemies are knocked against walls, extra Physical Damage equal to 150% of this skill's damage will be inflicted upon them, and they will be stunned, instead of slowed.
