Gameplay
Khepri is all about peel and set up. Typically during the game you are looking to prevent your enemies from doing what they want to do. You can play aggressive by fishing for cc with your 3, but keep in mind that every ability in khepri's kit is a very powerful defensive tool. Be wise when using your abilities. In the early game khepri isn't very tanky and is really mana hungry so spamming your abilities will have you feeling very useless very quickly. Be annoying, set up pressure and then capitalize with smart usage of buttons.
Conclusion
Khepri is the ultimate love bug. He just wants to hug enemies and save allies. Be the force for good and ensure that no one dies on your watch.
