Mobile Legends Khufra Gameplay Tips

Khufra is mainly used as an initiator in every situation, players have to save the main damage dealer. Khufra got a decent amount of  HP so don’t be afraid to engage in a fight. though it needs some skill cast technique to win the battle tide. We can break it down into two phases. Our Khufra guide includes the perfect game plan for the early, and middle/late game in Mobile Legends. However, a player must need a good understanding of the map to bring the best out of any hero. According to his gameplay, we can break it down into three phases. Our Mobile Legends Joy guide includes the perfect game plan for the early, mid, and late gameplay of Khufra.

Early Game

In the early game, Khufra should start in the Gold lane with the team’s marksman. They can help them clear the first wave of minions and then assist Jungler in taking the buff. If possible, attack the enemy jungler after clearing the buff. After that, quickly rotate to the top lane to support the offlaner. When using your first skill, try to jump from the bushes. This will give you a surprise element and allow you to jump further if you hold down the skill for longer. Always spam your skills on enemy crowd control (CC) fighters or damage dealers to help your team. If you manage to hit an enemy with your first skill, quickly follow up with your second skill. Your focus in the early game should be to open up the map, initiate teamfights, and help and protect your core heroes.

Skill 1+ Skill 2+ Basic Attack

Mid Game

In the mid-game, Khufra should focus on roaming and ganking. He should also help his team secure objectives, such as the Turtle Buff. When ganking, Khufra should try to catch the enemy carry off guard. He can use his first skill to initiate the gank and his second skill to knock the enemy back into his team. Khufra can also use his ultimate ability to trap the enemy carry in place and make it easy for his team to kill them. Khufra should avoid exposing himself on the map all the time. He can roam the bushes to set up ambushes and surprise the enemy team. Khufra should not hesitate to turret dive if he can secure a kill. However, he should be careful not to overextend and get killed himself.

Skill 1+ Ultimate + Skill 2 + Basic Attack +Skill 1

This combo will prevent enemies from using any dash skills. Players should keep that in mind, whenever you are low on HP, just fall back, and the HP and mana bar will soon fill up for your items.

Late Game

In late-game, Khufra can be used as an initiator so in every situation, you have to save the main damage dealer. He has a decent amount of HP so don’t be afraid to get into fights even though it requires some skill cast techniques to win battles. You can check bushes by charging first skill to the bushes, this will make sure that your damage deals don’t get caught while passing through a bush. One should always let the teammates know before charging in the late game because one small mistake in the late game can cost you a victory.
