Although this final build is far from the "usual" this works in great cases when your team has solid cc and damage. It utilizes Hide of the Urchin's passive with Khepri's for a great shield to sustain. Also, this build offer a ton of movement speed, attack speed (plus some attack speed reduction on enemies) to get into combat, cc and put up some basics (telkhines ring excels here as it gives power, basic power, and movement speed as well). Finally, Shogun's and Breastplate of Valor gives solid protection and of course some cooldown reduction. DISCLAIMER: This build is for fun and being a mastery 20, it works fairly well when used correctly.

Hello, this guide to Khepri involves all kinds of builds! (3) Some of these builds may seem a little silly whilst other ones are kinda good. Don't worry if some of these builds don't quite work for you (we all have our own item preferences) feel free to try them out and even play around with different item combinations to make these builds even better! Enjoy!
Don't worry or get too caught up with the first and last build as the first isn't quite your average competitive build and the last is if you have to solo this god

Jade stats: 20 power, 60 physical protection, 100 health, passive AURA (enemies within 55 units have their physical power reduced by 30.
- First, the power. 20 power isn't...bad...but it's also not good. Like, at all for
Khepri. 
Abduct has 40% scaling. 
Rising Dawn has 50% (total) scaling. 
Solar Flare has 30% scaling. And 
Scarab's Blessing doesn't deal damage, so power doesn't affect it at all.
Khepri. I thus consider the 20 power this item gives basically a throwaway stat.
- 60 physical protection is very solid to counter a physical solo-laner. 100 health isn't bad.
- That passive aura can have a reasonable effect on the early damage output of a lane enemy. Why? 30 power (leaving 10 if the enemy got
Warrior Tabi takes away a base 30 basic attack damage...as magical power sucks for magical basics, physical power is great for basics. As for abilities...well, most Warriors don't have crazy scaling. Usually 60% or less for the majority of abilities. It can still have an effect though, albeit less on abilities.
- Main theme shared between
Khepri (and most Supports in general) and typical Warriors: their damage is in their base damage more than relying on scaling from power. We'll get back to this later.
So what is your main goal asAlso...magical power scales horribly for basic attacks. 20% of power, to be exact. That's 4 damage per hit (before mitigations). What does this mean, overall? Power is almost pointless for a god like
Main Goal
Due to his technically weak clear and no sustain (other than a lifesaving ult), it's forcing an early stalemate until you get past laning, while also baiting the enemy so your jungler can attempt a decent gank. That jungler needs you and your kit to help with that gank, because he's a SUPPORT. Although you won't deal all that much damage, you've got a nice root/pull combo, and a separate ability that debuffs them, allowing others to deal more damage to your target.
Getting Jade Emperor's Helm doesn't achieve that purpose. Sure, it is a tanky item that allows you to take more punishment...but until the time you're needed for your CC to lock down an enemy, you're not going to WANT to take more punishment...you're going to want to just clear your wave and poke where possible (even though it won't do that much)...not box so much, because you can't heal up like
What fits better? CDR for more ability use. He's a pure ability user. Ability-based warriors in Solo often go for early CDR (via
Damage Potential
If power won't help his damage overmuch (given the fact you won't be building him glass cannon, lol), then how do you improve your damage output? CDR and penetration/protection reduction. CDR again? Ahhh, more poke. Pen/protection reduction? Got that covered a bit with
But you get what I'm saying? Power doesn't mean much to Khepri. His best focus is just to concentrate on CDR and protections/health. Like most Warriors. Wait until mid-late game, and do the Khepri thing then (peel, set up kills, save lives).
I would thus say at least 2 of your suggested items aren't all that great.

Thanks for the advice and input! I will certainly try said build and mix and match these items into my own!
