As Horus there is two main ways to play Horus in my opinion. Either going Tank or Hybrid. I mainly choose to play Horus as a Tank since his damage in general isn't the best when going Hybrid or straight damage.

Horus has built in defense with his passive that gives his more protections every time he is hit, So don't be scared to engage with the enemies and that can be easily followed up with an escape with his 3 on a ally.

His combo is really basic with two main ways to use: 1-2 / 2-1

Notes

CDR is almost a must have with Horus since all of his abilities are long.

As Tank, leveling up his heal or his 3 is mainly important, As for hybrid the first two abilities in whatever order you choose.

The reason i choose to max out his ultimate last is that his ult is really situational and the shield and damage most of the times doesn't help at all.
