Introduction

Hey everyone! I'm OMGASIA, casual Smite addict. While I know how to enjoy all casual game modes, I mostly play Joust and Arena. I’ve decided to start getting basic guides up for new Gods as they are released so there is a starting point for players who weren’t able to test them on the PTS. This isn't meant to be a definitive end all be all on Ratatoskr . This is the way I've enjoyed playing him so far, and possibly others will enjoy as well!

Here he is, !

Aiieee that little ladybug!

Pros and Cons

Pros:

Extremely mobile even in combat.
Really fun and unique kit.
Abilities can be customized to each match.
He is so insanely cute! Who would want to kill him?

Cons:

Fairly squishy.
Kit is very complex, so mastering him takes time and patience.
One item slot is taken up by his passive.
His cuteness doesn't actually prevent enemy gods from killing him. Oh well.

Skills

Passive – Acorn of Yggdrasil

Click Here For More Information on your purchasable acorns!

is probably one of the most in depth passives in the game. One of your item slots will be taken up by an acorn. You can alter your abilities by upgrading this acorn. You can upgrade the acorn in the item shop anywhere on the map. The acorn cannot be sold for another item, even another acorn.

You'll find all the acorns here. Each ability section will also have its applicable acorn within for simplicity.

is the stepping stone to your penetration acorns. The penetration acorns alter your . doesn't alter that ability just yet, but it does make your Flurry of Acorns slow all targets hit.

changes your so all your acorns stick. They can stick to the enemy god or just hang in the air at their max distance. After two seconds they'll explode! You can use this to set up traps or to turn your enemies into little ticking bombs. If an enemy god runs back into his team with these little guys on him he can do damage to his teammates, too!

changes your so every acorn that hits an enemy heals you. This is great if you need more sustain or survivability. Combine it with another lifesteal item and you can heal very efficiently. If you're using it against one enemy god you'll get the most lifesteal benefit by being right on top of him so all your acorns hit.

is the stepping stone to your Cooldown Reduction (CDR) acorns. Your CDR acorns alter . does nothing for , but it makes your Flurry of Acorns deal more damage.

alters so it can stun enemy gods. In order to stun a god, you must through the god two times within 10 seconds. Keep in mind that it doesn't have to be two times in a row. You could through God 1, then through God 2, and back to God 1 to stun him.

augments your with lightning! Up to four bolts of lightning will shoot your enemies as you dash by. Gods will take priority over minions. These bolts can crit, and apply on-hit effects! Basically, any items that are triggered by basics can be triggered by your lightning.

Items Used In Listed Builds

Other Items To Consider

When in game you'll find that just sticking with only one build won't always suit your needs. When you substitute one item for another you should pay attention to what you're losing vs what you're gaining. Do you want to give up a little power for that added protection? Is it worth losing the lifesteal to get a little CC immunity? This all depends on the flow of the game and your playstyle.

Mix and Match Builds

Ratatoskr is a very complex god. There are many ways to build him depending on how you upgrade your acorns. These builds are versatile and efficient, but I in no way claim that these are the best builds ever. Feel free to share your builds in the comments!

Since my guides are beginner guides I've gone as simplistic as I can with the builds. I don't want anyone to feel that the build they chose to start with forced them into an acorn that they didn't want to use or vice versa. With such small difference in these builds, you can easily alter as needed.

Make sure to check out Zilby's guide to making item builds if you'd like to put something together yourself!

Each build uses the same core items:

Of course, each build has an acorn!

And lastly, each build has a piece for you to choose:

You don't have to purchase them in the order provided. In fact, tailoring your purchase order and items to each match is something that helps keep you on top.

Conclusion

I can't handle this level of cute. Oh my gods!

Thanks for taking the time to read my guide. This guide is a release guide only, meaning after his release it will not be updated beyond balancing. Please feel free to leave feedback! Healthy discussion in the comments section can help all players. :)

i would do a recheck on the actives list, to be blunt. Its a copy from your awilix guide. Beads and Combat blink you'd see why

Thanks. And yes, it's not a secret I copy from my old guides so I can actually get them out in time for the gods. Usually I catch things like that though. I'll look into it again when I have the time (been very busy with work and real life.) Sorry for the inconvenience!

Please, a guide of ymir

I actually haven't played much Ymir yet. As mentioned before though, I just make quick guides for new gods.

The only problem i have with the main build is that Ratatoskr is a mid game hero, so getting enough items to make that build effective takes a ridiculous amount of farming

My guides aren't for conquest (since I don't play it I can't promise accurate info for it) and in all other modes I haven't run into issues bringing him online quickly enough.

His damage on his ult was pretty disgusting but it was nerfed. It's more of a means to escape and or get in a fight. I think maxing his ult last is perfectly reasonable.

So I'm going to do some *****ing about not lvling the ult. well the area is pretty big meaning hitting multiple enemies deals even more damage and sometimes the damage can be enough for an execute.

and because the distance he can cover is pretty big it's easy to help out lanes when they are getting ganked or multiple people are (and because they won;t see it coming that fast it will be easier to hit them all.

gonna end the *****ing part here XD it's still a good guide though
