Redangry·25 ranked

Author's note: The Detonator with some mediocre items is enough to blast just about every single round up to the bosses. The Stoked can scale incredibly well too and leaves your options option. Doesn't need much support to work.

Author's note: All three specs are strong and can carry the game when paired with enough Rush/Stall triggers at only B tier. Backup ability is quite strong if doing a Duelist build as well.

Author's note: Nyx is the strongest single hero enabler in the game. You can craft several team compositions around Nyx. The only problem is Nyx is a bit weak on their own and if you find Nyx late a lot of their power is lost due to less Rush triggers.

Author's note: The Selfless provides something every RR run needs - which is a way to make your backline not die to incidental aoe. The Radiant provides a way for your teams to scale out of control defensively AND offensively in one package. Just don't actually play her.

Author's note: He's beefy and does damage. Just needs an armor item because his armor is not good. If you have Nyx early then The Glutton scales wildly. The Enraged scales very well with Ranks, so a late game Rip with The Enraged should never be overlooked.

Author's note: The Friend and The Tectonic both have their places. Pick The Friend if you have Stall. Pick The Tectonic if you don't. The Protector can be fun if you have a mystic build behind Rowan, but it's not easy to set up.

Author's note: Farms you money consistently without needing to do wacky things like get the last hit. Pirouette is a strong mob-clearing ability which also provides self sustain (one of the biggest issues with a short range carry). Can enable shard gen build.

Author's note: An early Kai kills everything and keeps your game stable. A Kai with a bunch of shields keeps killing everything the whole game. Can multiclass clean the orb. Can tank and scales well with tank items in that case. Won't finish without the right support.

Author's note: A bit weak at the start and has high mana costs. The Glacier can scale and carry orb well. The Avalanche can support the ShardGen build. The Investor can be a strong Backup character for a team that needs mana regen. 5 shield ticks on cast for Kai/Grace.

Author's note: Pollen has better mana costs, better scaling, and better range than Gustav (until Gustav gets stacked with armor as The Glacier). The Earth's Child also gives a critical amount of Magic early on so that her spells actually do something. 5 shield ticks too.

Author's note: The Hunter - best gold farmer in the game. Ignore the other specs. You pick him early bc you needed someone to do damage. You get lucky and get him B early and he farms you money. Then you sell him in Act 2 and buy a better character most likely.

Author's note: The Breezy is her best spec and can enable a Duelist team very well. It also makes a team that can survive on it's own a bit viable as Sal's damage scales greatly with each additional cast of her Active with this spec. Lover gets sold after some triggers.

Author's note: Aiming her beam is a pain, but since her mana costs are low and with The Harmony shields she is a powerful character. The Resplendent as support for Funke - The Detonator works well. The Crescendo is too slow without Stall Reduction to be strong.

Author's note: Can run away with the game by eating items if you can get that going. Bad at carrying the orb early, which is a huge detriment as you usually want to clean the Tank/Vanguard one first. The Executive is very consistent.

Author's note: Scales with each battle she is in, so if using her early you are incentivized to keep her. The Bladedancer is the best overall for keeping her alive. It also gives Rush & Stall triggers, which will help scale Irini etc. One stall reduction item helps a lot

Author's note: After nerfs to The Sanguine (his only viable spec) Dragomir is not that great anymore. With enough omnivamp items he can carry the game, but he kills himself on the dragon so you need to sell him. OK for farming money but have a plan for the dragon.

Author's note: Most commonly used for The Tempered and put as Backup to make your Rip/Rowan thick. The Searing can be fun if you have a Nyx popping off AND a Funke with The Detonator. Haven't had much success with The Enlightened, it requires too many pieces.

Author's note: The Shadow early can be strong enough to carry the game if you find 1-2 items that also grant Stealth. The Collector makes consistent money. The Nightshade is too weak to use consistently in RR.

Author's note: An early The Momentous can carry entire games. Logan's other specs are not particularly good. The Juggernaut can theoretically be enough to "tank" but he doesn't help you clean the Tank/Vanguard orb. The Iron is the weakest Warriors Rush ability of the lot

Author's note: Need to keep an eye on her mana regen or get Stall Reduction so that her skill actually gives her HPS. The Spicy adds a lot of damage, but Pimenta is squishy. The Seasoned adds some tankiness, but outshined by other tanks. The Lover - get triggers and sell

Author's note: The Warband early and force duelists can work. Frostbite + Sal - The Breezy can be strong. Absolutely wrecks bosses. Sucks versus multiple targets and her spell spreads damage which is bad. Generally too weak to play consistently as a result.

Author's note: God tier carry one shotting everything or useless character when played as carry. The Ostentatious can work well but is hard to fit into a comp, as you want multiple other heroes with impactful spells and you need items on her.

Author's note: The Boxer is the only spec with any consistency for damage output. The Brawler can work with some shielders behind her but it's a weak version of Kai but at least dual class orb holder. The Champion requires too many moving parts for consistency in RR.

Author's note: Outshined by the other mystics. Her main benefit is that her ability has a high base value, so early on with 0 items she will actually put out some shields - unlike Pollen/Gustav. All of her specs are weak in RR, as they require too much investment.

Author's note: You equip the orb on Skorn early to clean Tank/Vanguard as you normally would. His armor is now too low to proc any poison. He does almost zero damage and is not even particularly tanky. His specs require investment or are rather weak for the cost.
