Passive -
 Acorn of Yggdrasil Ratatoskr begins the game with a Magic Acorn in his inventory. This can be upgraded with gold, which gives unique ability affects depending on which Acorn upgrade you choose.For the purpose of Jungle, Thistlethorn Acorn is the Acorn you want.
|
|
Ability 1 -
Dart Ratatoskr dashes, passing through minions and stopping at the first god hit, damaging and slowing them. Dart's cooldown is slightly reduced for each enemy hit with Flurry or Acorn Blast.While Dart can be used to finish off an enemy, it is best saved to use as an escape from enemies. Only use Dart aggressively when you know you can finish off an enemy.
|
|
Ability 2 -
Flurry Ratatoskr spins, dealing damage in a small circle and reducing enemies Physical Protections. Flurry is best used to hit an enemy without slowing your movement, but recognize you cannot cancel the ability. It is dangerous to use late game for this reason, as you are vulnerable to damage/CC.
|
|
Ability 3 -
Acorn Blast Ratatoskr's main damaging ability. Does a large amount of damage in a small cone, and stuns the enemy if they are close enough. Acorn Blast should be used right away and on cooldown, as it does heavy damage and the enemy cannot hit you while stunned. Thistlethorn Acorn is used to increase the damage and range of this ability.
|
|
Ultimate -
Through the CosmosAfter a short delay, Ratatoskr jumps up to the sky. He can Jump forward up to two times, before dealing large damage in a circular radius and knocking up nearby enemies. Through the Cosmos is considered a global ultimate, and allows quick travel across a large portion of the map. It is a very powerful ability, and should be used to initiate rotations whenever possible.
|
Through the Cosmos > Acorn Blast > Auto Attack(s) Dart to engage or disengage, and Flurry to attack while mobile. Blink Rune > Acorn Blast > Auto Attack(s) > Dart Flurry is best used during early-game fights, and less commonly used late-game as Auto Attacks will deal more damage.
Acorn Blast and Dart, but slightly lower damage than other junglers as you save Dart for escape (unless it is a confirmed kill). Play around your Blink Rune, don't loose your health before the fight starts! Through the Cosmos. Don't feel pressured to be hyperactive before level 5, as you will naturally become stronger with your global rotation ultimate. Thistlethorn Acorn without needing to be in the fountain, which can lead to a quicker spike in comparison to other junglers Through the Cosmos to initiate fights, I would recommend to wait for a fight to start before doing so, as enemies will be aware and collapse much faster in comparison to the early game. Acorn Blast to stun someone from afar while your team does the work. Only commit when it is safe to do so, or when the enemies are split. Acorn Blast and a few auto attacks without taking any damage. Acorn Blast without doing much else. Through the Cosmos, but actually Blink Rune. You want to blink in first, stun and do some damage, and then bail out with Dart. Through the Cosmos should only be used if the fight has already started and you are far away. Once you ult, the enemies may back up and it would be wasted, which is why you want to save it for when the fight has already begun. Through the Cosmos and assist your team.
Ratatoskr has an independent style by nature of his Through the Cosmos, but outside of this, his kit supports a team-based Acorn Blast playstyle. I recommend him as a starting jungler, as playing with your team is very powerful. Also. He is a Squirrel. Squirrels are cool.
Good luck out there! <3
