Since master set is coming soon, how do y'all players feel about this champion?

One hand self healing is super great and can win game under the good condition... in the other he is costly to maintain and take up a movement to heal just 1 wound, which sometime is too little too late

5 for a 2/5 is pretty meh

I think that he would be better early game than later. He seems to be a good common killer and he would be able to pay for his healing that way.

Being able to beat up commons and use them for regen is quite useful. I'm a big dragos fan, and this guy is essentially a reptilian merc version of dragos. Dragos heals for free but he has to get the killing blow, which is problematic with Anica, Zombies, and Reapers also need to get killing blow.

Heck, with Dragos and Khexhu, Dragos could Life Drain a common and then you could spend it to regen Khexhu. 2 healing for one kill.

I LOVE that idea. Looks like Ret-Talus is gonna have some reptilian servants for a game or two

I am not sure I like that idea. I mean they already have 4 pretty solid champs in a FK deck. It is already a tough choise to who to put in. But if I where to use the strategy I would use it with Anica. Have Anica,Dragos, and Khexhu. Anica can get 2 magic. One to heal. And one to spend on something else.

Just for correctness, you can't do this if you have 0 Magic since Khexhu heals/spends before the attack phase.

Just to clarify mr vekkid must move for his healing to activate? also, can that be a move of zero?

yes and yes

Edit: that could be put in the Q&A. Also from the KQ page, Defenders screw over Regeneration.

This is a big point and a strike against Khexhu in my mind. I can't go into the attack phase with 0 magic hoping to get a kill and then heal him. To do this, you'd have to get a kill during the movement phase. Vermin and the Trample units can do this, I suppose, but not reliably and I don't think I want Khexhu in the JE or MV.

Basically, I don't really see any use for this guy, at least yet. I'd much rather have KQ, Sairook or NN if I'm looking for a Merc champ.

Have anyone got any good use of this champion yet?
I really want to find a home to this lizard dude but I just can't seem to justify to put him anywhere.... the best is VG but VG now have so many good champion, it would be waste to let this in instead of the likes of Kalon/Leah... etc

melee 2/5//5 is really lacking now a day

I think this is exactly the design idea of most mercenary units. Sometimes they seem like they fit well with some factions, but the idea is for them to fit with every faction without truly finding a home anywhere.

I personally don't use mercenaries often because I prefer the faction-specific abilities of other units.

I would, however, try Khexhu with the Benders or the Deep Dwarves, even maybe the Shadow Elves. His ability is his longevity, so he can give that longevity to factions who don't have a lot.

Ya you're right on the usage of Merc but Iam determine to find a place for this lizard dude... :D

all three of your suggested faction works wonderfully, not much SE thou, Nashi fit into SE much better... but DD, bender and VG should welcome this lizard. I can see a super long lasting VG build in my mind now... hmmm

havenīt played him, but it can work as a bump for big champions in a CL deck

I've been playing with Khexhu in a Cultist/Reaver/Anica/Dragos build for FK. Reavers and Cultist benefit more from being killed, and Anica and Dragos don't pay for magic, leaving plenty for Khexhu to regenerate from. Not sure how useful it is, but it seems pretty thematic.

I think this champion will be great in deep dwarf since they can use wake the father gem and I think it's a good sprog replacement.

Seconded. The Deep Dwarves have awesome gem mages so they won't be hurting to have 3 melee champions. Plus with meditate it could make for lots of healing endgame.

Bio: Khexu comes from the lush, humid greenery of South Meeric. Most other races view that continent as a green hell, and the reptilian Vekkids are a rarity outside of the jungles. This has given Khexu something of a novelty value in the Summoner Wars, and his abilities as a self-healing killer have made him wealthy.

Are you going to update the OP with this?
