Ratna overview
The Fashionable can cover both tanking and damage, even pulling one enemy away from the main tank. A Mystic route can supply enough scaling to win, though it usually requires a second Mystic for actual shielding. The Assassin route scales quickly enough to start as late as the end of Act 1.
How to use Ratna
Game plan
- Sell an unranked Ratna that cannot contribute, then remain willing to rebuy a ranked copy later.
- Use The Fashionable to split aggro when the frontline needs relief.
- After an Assassin Ratna can one-shot targets, accelerate her opening cast.
Items
- Give the Assassin route enough early items to reach one-shot damage.
- Prioritize starting mana once she can kill immediately.
- Avoid expensive reserve itemization solely to activate a modest backup effect.
Positioning Position The Fashionable to draw one enemy away from the main tank; protect damage-focused routes until they cast.
Source limits A double-Mystic Ratna plan may delay completion of Duelist, Warrior, or Assassin Rift Seal requirements.
Ratna upgrades
Rank B cards and A/S pools are current to Demo 0.5.5. The guide itself remains tied to the older video patch; notes appear only when the video covers a choice. The Mystic-flavored route provides strong scaling but wants another Mystic for shields. The Assassin-flavored route scales rapidly and remains viable when found in late Act 1.
