Absolutely not worth it, at least until there's a 5* Troika available and noone knows when that will be!
You might want to get an elemental or piercing weapon instead, you'll be glad to have both later when you make your first "full vulnerabilities set" (p.E.: attack beast & fiend with flourish or magnus, attack construct & undead with blizzbrand or voltech alchemer, attack jellies and gremlins with your faust. Or something like that). Getting a Khorovod first will push you one 4* (that later will be a dust-catcher) further away from that.
Yes it's pretty awesome. Or was when it had rocks. I used the Khorovod pretty much exclusively before the update. Since they got rid of the rocks though it's just not the same.
I'm sure they a lot cheaper now though, so ya, go for it.
