Ruella — guide

In short

Ruella is an Epic Attack champion from Sylvan Watchers who actually plays like a support-speeder: team Turn Meter fill, a Crit Rate buff and a heavy debuff package. She shines in Clan Boss, Chimera, Fire Knight's Castle and Faction Wars, so build her for Speed and Accuracy rather than damage.

Strengths

• Calculated Assault (A3) fills all allies' Turn Meters by 20% and grants a 30% C.RATE buff for 2 turns — a cheap mini speed boost with crit support attached.
• Relentless Assault (A2) hits 3 times, each hit with up to a 70% chance to place Decrease DEF 60%, Weaken 25% and Decrease SPD 30% for 2 turns.
• A1 hits 3 times and every critical hit has up to a 100% chance to steal 5% of the target's Turn Meter — solid Turn Meter control on bosses.
• 40 Accuracy aura in Dungeons, which frees up stats for the whole team.
• One build covers dungeons, Clan Boss and Faction Wars at once.

Weaknesses

• Only 1376 base ATK — her own damage is negligible despite the Attack role.
• Fragile: 870 DEF and 15 855 HP, so she needs survivability stats.
• Hydra and Hard mode are rated 2.0 — not her content.
• Every debuff is chance-based, so she misses a lot without tomes and Accuracy.

Where to use

Best: Clan Boss (4.0), Chimera (4.0), dungeons (4.0) — Fire Knight's Castle especially, where her multi-hits chew through the shield and her Turn Meter steal matters — and Faction Wars (4.0). Middling: Arena (2.5) as a second-string speed/debuffer, Doom Tower (2.5). Weak: Hydra (2.0) and Hard mode (2.0).

Stats and gear

Stat priority: SPD → ACC → C.RATE → survivability, with ATK last. Rough targets: SPD 200–250+, ACC 200–250 (the dungeon aura helps), C.RATE 100% so the A1 Turn Meter steal actually lands, plus 30–40k HP and 2.5–3k DEF to survive. Sets: Speed, Reflex, Relentless, Divine Speed, Perception, Stoneskin. Relics: Journal of Necrotos, Irethi Coronet, Perched Shadow.

Masteries and blessings

PVE setup for dungeons, Clan Boss, Doom Tower and Faction Wars: Pierce Defenses, Invigorated, Expeditious Exploitation, Gathering Momentum, Boss Slayer, plus the usual top of the Attack tree for boss damage. Keep a separate PVP setup for Arena as a speed/debuffer. Blessings: Phantom touch, Chainbreaker, Cruelty.

Tombs

Book A3 first — the three cooldown levels take it from 6 turns to 3, which is pure uptime on the team Turn Meter fill and C.RATE buff. Then A2 for the debuff chance up to 70%, and A1 last.

Verdict

Build her: a cheap Epic who covers Fire Knight, Clan Boss and Faction Wars as long as you gear her for Speed and Accuracy instead of damage.
