Ronin help!

Mephisto

Just pulled 5* Ronin and saw some videos on him. He is kind of ramp up champion. What rank does he deserve?

I have him as one of my two rank 5 5 stars. He is a real beast and arguable in my opinion one of the best champions. Essentially how he works is you have the 3 stances. The guard stance, or the green one, gives you close to a 100% chance to perfect block, anD lets you parry projectiles and energy attacks such as dominos first medium or Havoks mediums. The second stance that looks like a stun icon destroys opponent defensive ability accuracy- it lets you almost fully bypass magiks limbo. The last stance is merely for increased damage output on the bleeds. This is already a really nice chunk of base utility. Every time he enters a new stance or the opponent is immune to a bleed, he gains a passive cruelty(cap at 7.) At seven he gains a large precision and keeps all the cruelty. The precision is large enough that you will be able to crit almost every hit, and will result in a ton of bleeds. His sp2 is able to transfer all cruelties into bleeds, dealing really nice damage when paired with deep wounds. His sp3 just gives a really large fury. His awakened ability allows him to gain 3 seconds of evasion when he would be hit when he is at 7 cruelties. This applies to specials, and all opponent hits. Every time he evades he also gains a passive fury. He has carried me through act 6 content, is a beast for aw(arguably the best thing counter), and can easily one shot the collector in the hands of an experienced player. I hope this was helpful.

he okay, but definetely not r5 worthy, take him to rank 4 at best only if you are having extreme bad luck with 5 star champs. He was the first 5 star champ that i took to r3, but i never use him at all. hes a great counter for thing, but you dont wanna bring him into AW just to counter a thing. His damage is pretty good, but takes a while to ramp up, and in that time you wouldve gotten a kill with someone like omega or corvus. He can purify debuffs really well, so is suicide friendly, but thats really all he is useful for. Not really great for act 6 tho. Dont waste resources ranking up this champ.

Disagree STRONGLY.

I have him as a 6* but haven’t learned to use him properly. He needs a lot of skill to be used properly. So I’d say to rank him up only if you’re confident enough you can do it.

He’s not bad but he’s nothing too special, he has solid damage with a bit of ramp up, and has 2 things going for him with utility, he can shrug off 1 debuff when you enter a certain stance and he has a bit of aar, he’s one of those champs who isn’t bad for anything but doesn’t have anything to make him amazing for anything

Another arena fodder, stuck at rank 2 for me and staying there until they rebalance him just like the other 2019 skill champ Elsa Bloodstone I commented on in another post. Nick Fury is the only worthwhile skill champ to take up from last year.
