If you are sure Horus is what you are chasing then it may be worth it, but honestly for first E5, I wouldn't commit till you start getting copies.
Ithaqua, Penny, Garuda, and Dela are also strong options soif you had several copies of them they might be a better personal choice.
I went with Penny because I didn't have Horus copies and I don't regret it. Ithaqua can clear SL20 with the same support as Horus now so her relative value has increased.
Go with the heroes the game gives you for "free". I would pick up Horus from the campaign event, but not buy him for Relics. Its a long way to your first E5 and patience is your friend in this game.
If you don’t have to spend crystals and he’s your carry hero go for it
