Sands of Time | |
|
|
Pendulum of Ages Sands of Time that goes well with Book of Thoth to give you even more power from your mana. It also gives you much needed cooldown reduction for fights later in the game. | |
|
|
Conduit Gem | |
|
|
Gem of Focus Pendulum of Ages per se, but losing the cooldown reduction from Pendulum means that you will have to get it elsewhere. That becomes quite hard, since the only proper item for Ra in that situation would be Chronos' Pendant, which is worse than what you're giving up for it. It is a very fun and usable item though, don't get me wrong, it helps you be more aggressive and slippery so it fits the builds, I also like this more than Pendulum of Ages as an item. |

|
Purification Beads | |
|
|
Temporal Beads Don't think of  Chaotic Beads, they are useless. | |
|
|
Blink Rune | |
|
|
Corrupted Blink Rune Scorching Blink Rune is pretty useless since you pretty much never blink from close enough for the fire trail to do damage, although if you can get it to work, go ahead. |
|
|
Book of Thoth | |
|
|
Charon's Coin Solar Blessing midfight makes this a great item. |
|
|
Spear of Desolation Perfected Rod of Tahuti as well. | ||||
|
|
Polynomicon Soul Reaver if you're against many tanks. | ||||
|
|
Rod of Tahuti Obsidian Shard if you're against many tanks. | ||||
|
|
Perfected Rod of Tahuti Calamitous Rod of Tahuti, Perfected is the better glyph option of the two. It gives you more cooldown reduction and movement speed with its passive and it combines very well with the passive of Spear of Desolation.
|
|
|
Divine Ruin Spear of Desolation's passive and are instead met with tanks that dive you, its passive works well there. | |
|
|
Obsidian Shard Rod of Tahuti if you are facing many tanks. Pretty simple. | |
|
|
Soul Gem | |
|
|
Soul Reaver Polynomicon in the build with Soul Reaver. Polynomicon does seem to do more damage if you account the basic attacks in-between the abilities, but if you're in range to use basic attacks, you're also well in range to get dove by these said tanks. The more passive/lazy option as well, but not necessarily worse. |
|
|
Being aggressive Aegis Amulet and replace that with the best relic you can get, Blink Rune. With it a whole new world will open up to you and you start to see kill opportunities everywhere, no matter the mode you're playing. The main combo you should be going for: you first pop your Divine Light and just as it's about to explode, you use your Blink Rune to get in range for your flashbang to do damage, then use your Celestial Beam plus a basic attack to finish them off. With full build and Polynomicon, you will one-shot a squishy.

When enemies start to disengage... Neith that has walked just a little bit too far and backflips away. You know where they are going to land, so you snipe and kill them as they land. If you don't have your ult, you can do the same with the blink combo you see above. | ||||
|
|
When you have to chill When this happens you start to go for optimistic beam + ult combos: you try to predict where your enemy is going to walk and just go for it. Sometimes you hit both—usually when your enemies aren't paying attention to you—and sometimes you miss both, but no matter. You just have to go for them. The other, more boring option is to just hang back and wait for your teammates to root/stun someone and just combo them then.

Passive - Speed of Light Celestial Beam, animation cancel it with Divine Light and for that, same thing with Solar Blessing. The animations of each of the abilities cancel each other when used in that order, except for his third ability whose animation cannot be canceled. Even though this is the fastest way, in my opinion the best way is to first animation cancel Divine Light into Solar Blessing and then use your Celestial Beam normally. This is because your beam has the shortest cooldown out of your abilities, so if there were something to happen, you would have your other abilities ready earlier than if you were to use the first ordering. | |
|
|
1 - Celestial Beam Celestial Beam and then basic attack again to increase your dps, and you'd actually be right. However, in some cases though, e.g. trying to catch and finish off a low health opponent who's running away, your basic attack actually comes almost instantly after using the ability and accounting the travel time of the beam, both your beam and your basic attack hit the target at the same time. If you basic attack first in that situation, the basic attack itself will slow you and your beam might not reach the enemy if you're going for a max range beam or the enemy might get just enough time to dodge it. |

2 - Divine Light Divine Light is simply nonexistent if it is animation canceled. Try it, put your Divine Light and Solar Blessing on instacast (by pressing K in-game) and just press them quickly in that order. No animation for the flashbang. Basic attack will also accomplish this. |
|
|
Passive - Speed of Light Gem of Focus. You don't want to waste your Celestial Beam even if it's on the lowest cooldown, since it's your main damaging ability. Solar Blessing has a long cooldown and some important utility, so you don't want to waste it willy-nilly, so that means that you're going to use Divine Light to keep your passive up as it's Ra's most expendable ability.
| ||||
|
|
2 - Divine Light Divine Light and just walk at an enemy into the range of the ability with no intention to kill, they will waste their movement ability and be an easier target. You can often also just push people back by popping it and just walking forward, be it for peel or damage. | ||||
|
|
3 - Solar Blessing Solar Blessing as you walk forward as well if you're actually thinking of killing, it makes your Divine Light do more damage all the while it's damaging the enemy and healing you. You can also often drop down your healing circle in front of your tank as if to usher and encourage them to go forward if you want them to attack. This can sometimes be useful when your tank just is not attacking when you think they should. A more normal application of the ability is to drop it down on a tank when they go in. |
