Threat Hero Notes
1
  No Threat
2
Petal Easy to hit and dodge. With strafing, she'll be an easy kill at any level.
3
Skaarf Be aggresive using strafing and by dodging his fireballs and he'll be quite easy for you.
4
  No Threat
5
Vox Can be a match for you. Just make sure to burst attacks on him and have minions around to distract him for a well turned-out kill.
5
Celeste Can sometimes be tricky with her stars. Again, burst on her and use strafe around her stars for a good kill.
6
  No Threat
7
Ringo Usually, he'll follow some strategies, so have either a tank or damage dealer with you to take him out easily.
8
Adagio Adagio is tanky, so make sure to have burst damage items with you or a friend to avoid his Arcane Fire and take him down even with his healing.
9
Catherine Especially with her bubble shield, she is dangerous, so maybe the whole team is needed to take her down, or just burst on her when her shield is done with strafing.
9
Ardan Almost like Catherine, but tankier, he can deal damage if he decides to build weapon, so counter it with armor, or just have a buddy to help you kill him.
10
Krul Do NOT take him on alone, as his skills can be extremely dangerous, especially the Spectral Smite, so bring the whole team or two damage dealers would be ideal for taking him down, just make sure it isn't you alone.
10
SAW Never EVER take him on alone even in the early game, because his Spin-Up will be the death of you, bring some backup to be sure to kill him.

The Beast Ringo Guide Top

Hello! My name is JOHN CENA! DreamerSky, and this is the first guide I'll be making. Today, I'll be making a guide for Ringo, the drunken gunman, who always seems to never miss. So yeah, let's get this started, as this guide will surely be beneficial for both newbies and veterans.

The Basics of Ringo Top

Ringo has a good set of skills and a high amount of damage. Though he is quite weak in the early game, he dominates the fold in Mid and Late Game.

Ringo's Skills

Heroic Perk

Double Down
After Ringo kills anything, his next basic attack will be a critical hit. This helps in many ways, I will state some strategies for this in the next part.


Achilles Shot
This skill can slow enemies, while dealing a sufficient amount if damage. Use it when you give chase with your teammates following, or as a sure last hit on an enemy (or a killsteal, hehehe) as it has long range.


Twirling Silver
This is a very important skill for Ringo. Foremost, it grants Ringo attack speed AND movement speed, making it ideal for escapes. One strategy I do to leave base quickly is to tap the Twirling Silver button while in the base fountain and leave while it still gives mana for a quick departure from the base. Always remember to use this against enemy heroes, and against minions, if you want.


Hellfire Brew
Ahh, yes, quite a magical skill for Ringo. The coolest thing about this skill, is that it'll follow enemies wherever they go until it hits them. Use it as a sure last hit, or use it as an initiator for battles, activating it on the target while hiding in the brush.

Ringo Strategies Top

There are many good strategical guides out there, so I think I'd show my strategy.

The best item to first build up is the Tension Bow because it will truly be helpful as it provides +180 for every basic attack every 6 seconds. One strategy to mix up the usage of the Double Down perk with the Tension Bow. When you're up against a laner early game, kill an enemy minion and harass the enemy by hitting him after the minion kill. The enemy be low if he/she is stubborn after repetition of this strategy. Mix this strategy with the Tension Bow by hitting your opponent with the charged up TBow while Double Down is activated. This provides high amounts of hit damage, causing the opponent to retreat, or you can just rush in and finish the enemy after they take some damage. Another great strategy is to mix up the before strategy with the Achilles Shot this time. It's fine if you don't have the Heroic Perk on, so just hit the Achilles Shot button at the moment you release your basic attack for a heavy burst of damage. Doing this with Double Down or Sorrowblade or even both will make it more effective, making life easier as it turns kills into 3 or 2 hit KOs on squishy heroes. Never forget to use Twirling Silver in these strategies.

When you're up against a lone laner who you think can beat you in a 1v1 you can:

A. Strafe, and burst out your skills.

B. Hide or retreat and let your buddies finish them off.

C. Use the 'fool strategy'. Do this by poking in and out of many different bushes while hitting and confusing the enemy.

D. Use the 'hidden hit burst strategy'. Hide in a bush and use Hellfire Brew, your enemy will most likely panic and retreat, so burst as much damage as you can on them to take the kill.

E. Ping your teammates to gank them.


When you're up against 2 or more enemies, you can:

A. Take them on singlehandedly, ONLY if they're both squishy or one or two of them is low.

B. Burst out Hellfire Brew to splash damage on the group and finish them of ONLY if they panic and scramble.

C. Call your teammates to unleash hell on them together.

D. Run like a coward.


And lastly, the most important strategy for Ringo is....


Spoiler: Click to view



Alright, if you're new, Kiting is a strategy wherein you're able to hit the enemy while you yourself is unable to be hit. Basically, you tap away from the enemy and tap on him/her. It is very beneficial in many situations. It is also similar to strafing.

For example, you are being chased by a MELEE hero while low on health, you can kite and finish them off. When mastered, you will truly be unkillable. This applies to most ranged heroes and to some melee heroes. If you are chased by a ranged hero, you can do the Kite Strafe strategy. Basically is strafing while kiting. This will be helpful while being chased by DIRECTIONAL PLACEMENT HEROES or the heroes who are ranged but most of their attacks must be directed like Celeste, Skaarf, or Skye. This can be done by constantly moving away from the chaser while moving left to right, or simply, running backwards in a zig-zag motion. This will not be so effective against LOCK TARGET RANGED HEROES like Vox or Adagio.
