Introduction

Welcome to the Horus counters and Synergies guide.

I noticed that a couple of the Horus guides right now are missing out on detailed descriptions to their synergies and counters. So I made this guide entirely for counters and synergies.

Also a friend on Discord asked me.

Some of the descriptions I have gotten lazy on so I might change them later.

Please note that I am only explaining possible problems Horus players could encounter with different gods. So just because I have a god listed as a Horus counter, doesn't mean that you are useless against them.

I would appreciate feedback, disagreements, agreements, and such that could help me improve this guide.

If you want to see me suffer through this again then give me an interesting god to do this on and Ill maybe do it.

What I rank the Gods counters/synergies based on.

Counters
I rank counters based on how much this "Issue" affects your gameplay.

Synergies
I rank synergies based on how much it helps Horus or the allied god.

My Sanity

I dedicated 2 and a half days to this.

It takes me like 20 minutes at most to try and think of some combos.

But being the lazy guy I am, I take like 4 hours breaks every 6 gods.

Some detail: horus can not teleport fenrir enemy. I managed to teleport fenrir in ult with enemy but after landing enemy was in at the point of departure

Oh is that so? Ill be sure to change that, thank you for sharing this detail with me.

I don't think just because you can't knock Jorm up that it makes him a huge threat. When you use your 2 > 1 combo with Horus you're looking to keep your target still for as long as possible so your team can either put some damage in or escape.

Yes using your 2 > 1 combo stops him being knocked up but it actually puts him in a worse position because he is slowed and taking more damage from your allies, still completing both of the aforementioned goals.

Jorm is big threat for Horus since Jorm gets less damage from him. Horus will lose dogfight for that reason and because have less offensive ability

(37) |

I'm pretty sure the same amount of damage is dealt but there is just no visible knock up and just Jorms passive, which means that Horus would be dealing more damage because the final "gust" of his 1 would be hitting Jorm while his passive is on, increasing damage taken by 15%.

When horus could damage him with +50%,but he able to deal only +10%

(37) |

How? I'm not sure I follow what you mean. Jorms passive doesn't negate any damage. So how does Horus deal less damage?

(2) |

auto attack does more damage on knocked up enemies.

(37) |

Ah right I see. I still stand by my point though, the best part of his 2 > 1 combo is the 3 (ish) seconds that the enemy is a target for either peel or set up. In conquest, a Horus build wont have enough power for your basic attack damage to really hurt in general anyway.

Especially with Jorm who is going to be a tank with protections, you wont be dealing damage to him, you'll be immobilising him.

(3) |

The problem is that jorm is mostly solo laner right now. As support Horus.not plays against jorm so when they directly faces each other is on sololane, where horus build damage. Horus are worst warrior in solo and need very good skill, but even Jorm is very big threat since he just not let horus use his main dmg abbility, and not let to stand close because of jorm auto attack type (jorm will drain horus health but horus have no range attack until he get golden blade)

(2) |

I play Horus in all roles except mid and carry. Solo Horus is actually very viable.

(400) |

Note that when we're talking viable, it means on a higher level...Horus can be played in Solo (and being a warrior seems like it would make the most sense), but he's outclassed by many other Solo choices right now, making him less viable overall. The fact that he can also be played Support makes him a flex pick though, which is good.

(2) |

I would honestly argue that he counters and sometimes which would probably make him a situational pick for solo.

(37) |

In a teamfight, Solo Jorm should be targeting your backline carries (mid+adc) and it should be Horus' job as Support to peel from him.

Obviously Horus loses solo lane but in the most common scenario I just mentioned, his 2 > 1 combo is still jarring for Jorm and I wouldn't perceive him as a threat.

Basing how threatening he is on Support vs Support match ups or Solo vs Solo match ups when that likely isn't happening ever is just inaccurate.

(2) |

You make a good point. Thank you for sharing this with me, Ill change the threat real quick.

(37) |

No problem. If you're stuck and can't quite decide the spot for some of his match ups feel free to message me, Horus was my main Support throughout S7 :)

Okay it really strange to see that Horus have low or none interaction with other CC gods like sobek, cerberus, hercules, fenrir etc. This game is based around cc and CC is very important stuff, getting enemy in cc for a 4-5 sec is deadly for anyone. It is more strange that despite that fact Horus have a lot of strong CC both of them are very short-ranged and easy to dodge, which makes using other more guaranteed and effective (like sobek or serqet or cerberus has) cc good as initial of long and strong CC chain

So it also strange to see a lot of gods who can interact with him low or none, since Horus is Team core character designed for combinate his gameplay with everyone. Horus may interact with interesting (more than low or none) way with everyone.
And also do you think that my guide are "right now are missing out on detailed descriptions to their synergies and counters"? Yes, that part still in WIP and not finished, but I interesting is that blaming, and should I have done it before?

But still upvote cuz I understand how hard it to describe and test so many gods and how big this work

(2) |

I'm actually testing a couple of these out as we speak. But if you can help me speed this process up by giving me a video it would certainly help me out a lot. Thanks for your feedback though.

My friends are also on a month and a half vacation so I am just relying on random people to hopefully play the gods I want to test and listen to me.

Update: I updated , , and . I will eventually do more later but right now I need to rest for a bit.
