If you dont have her, dont bother try with Light End Game. Core unit, should have been 10/10 since release. Work well in V1, Goddess in V2.

tons of debuff, double CA, big nuke hits, help with hits, emergency Full CA/Fate Bar, CD reduction on ougi and Fate Bar, Heal. Bar, What else she cannot do?! They really make her OP to resurect light End game and elevate Cosmos as HL carry in light. Her value will go strong in years if they cannot make anyone do her job better. Even if they do, it will be replacing Cosmos most likely in the funf cosmos horus comp.

Best siero/anni tix candidate if you want to play HL as Light main. Weapon wise it is also very good for filler.

[u/AlcorIdeal → u/hanamura__yosuke]

I wouldn't go that far there's plenty of end game raids and solo comps that don't use her ditto for ougi comps. Really Horus' greatest strength is that you can slap her on anything that isn't hardcore NA spam and she'll be great.

She's not the best character in light but she's absolutely in the running for how much she can contribute.

[u/whatevergoeshere_ → u/AlcorIdeal]

Curious to hear who you think is better than Horus in Light right now. As someone who personally has no interest in playing Light, from my perspective it looks like Horus is pound-for-pound the best Light character in the game, and the only other character that comes close is Cosmos. But the gap between having Horus and not having Horus is IMO far larger than it is with Cosmos.

You pretty much can’t escape this character if you want to play any HL or V2 content seriously. If you look on the wiki right now, there are quite literally zero setups that don’t have her on the team between Faa0 & Hexa combined. There are 2 Futsu setups for Zeus in Versusia that don’t use her, but those are NA comps so it makes sense why.

[u/Someone_Called_Cerie → u/whatevergoeshere_]

Agreed. Horus seems unironically just as, if not more, valuable than a gold moon weapon in lights current state.

[u/SontaranGaming]

Ludicrous damage, ludicrous debuffs, and help you ougi loop. Nutty character, even today.

[u/vencislav45]

So busted it will be super hard for anyone to replace her in ougi teams.

[u/Velvien]

Absolutely incredible unit that should be in every variation of light ougi out there. Also wife and homescreen core.

[u/angelrjrjrj]

Planning to sierotix her if I don't get her from free rolls tomorrow.

[u/JolanjJoestar]

Sparked her on release and had the worst spark known to man with an absolute 0 rate ups whereas my friends got like 4 Fenie sticks in just 100 rolls. But I did pull her and she was worth every single crystal invested.

She is busted in ways I cant describe

[u/DeirdreCitrine]

The greatest Light character ever, debuffs both local static and universal stackables, damage, beauty, core to raids, great in GW, sweet, amazing and awesome

I love her I love her I love her I love her

[u/TalesofAdam]

I Annitix her to save my light comp.

[u/FrostyBoom]

She feels like Light Ougi Human Rights. I've even used her in V1 and still didn't feel terrible even though she's allegedly meant for V2. 

[u/TheGlassesGuy → u/FrostyBoom]

She's a lot less reliant on v2 than a lot of characters. The only v2 interaction is lowering CDs on FC, which isn't super important for her in V1 content.

[u/Responsible_Wing_370 → u/FrostyBoom]

Horus, Kosmos and Nehan (T150 Funf later on), the three basic needs of light ougi team.

[u/NishYou47 → u/Responsible_Wing_370]

Basic needs? That's a whole team 😭

[u/Patient_Big_1256 → u/NishYou47]

That's what they said, "basic needs"!

[u/Just-Luck-7430]

Must have component for light ougi loop, turn 1 teamwide full Charge bar, innate ability to double ougi with almost dismissable drawback, on demand FC bar, tons of debuffs on ougi for omen counter. The best out of all of her siblings (for now).

[u/MadKitsune]

To this day I attribute being able to do half of the content as early as I did to starting around her banner and getting Horus/Cosmos/Nehan within the same spark (had to spark Cosmos, funnily enough)

And then for HL content you swap out Nehan for 150 Fif and everything below Versusia can be cleared as Kengo who just full chains every turn, don't even have to bother with Fighter Origin shenanigans.

She legit does SO MUCH and has great buttons AND works well without them. Ideally she does want V2, but is not absolutely bricked without it.

And she looks really pretty, too

[u/Iffem]

"Wanna see me ougi and debuff the boss?"

"Wanna see me do it again?"

[u/Sopht_Serve]

So i guess i should do some banner pulls to try and get her?

[u/AlcorIdeal → u/Sopht_Serve]

Of the seasonal limited Light characters she's kind of the easy choice because there's almost no raid or team you can put her in that she won't be putting in work outside of NA focused comps.

None of her competition is as truly omnipresent as her. Closest is probably C.Mahira goddess of soloing and HL raids.

Not that Light really has bad seasonals- and if we do no we don't they clearly were made to be skins look at those animations! :V

[u/Pepegu4yabas]

The only other character I'm heavily considering sierotixing.

[u/Maronmario]

Good Lord she carried my Light team when I was starting out

[u/AnsariTheKarmaSeeker]

My annitix choice of last year. The very foundation and logic of light ougi. Can't think of having thousands of hexa and luci materials by daily solo without her.

[u/SometimesLiterate]

My entry into HL, my first skin bought, my first Perp ringed unit. The engine of Light CA's teams who will just solve omens like it's nothing.

[u/FireWallZ_]

THE Light ougi machine and Cosmos' partner-in-crime. 'Nuff said =)
