RavionInformation and Guide

Ravion is an S-level character of the Rogue class belonging to the Wilder faction. With a kit that is built around buffing his allies including himself, his range of 4 sets him apart from his fellow Rogue counterparts.

Ravion’s abilities include permanent ATK boosts for himself and 2 backline allied units, teleportation to and from crowded enemy lines to deal high burst damage and quickly remove himself from danger, damage that scales by percentage of HP lost by his target, and granting himself and his allies unaffected.

Ravion’s Ultimate “Killer Flush” is an aerial attack in which Ravion launches 15 cards to deal damage to the enemy while unaffected. Each card deals extra damage based on a percentage of the enemy’s lost HP.

Although Ravion’s Ultimate is a highly effective component of his kit, his additional skills bring even greater value to the battle due to the buffs he offers his allies, making him a key counter for taking on units such as Dunlingr who specialize in shutting down your units’ opportunity to use their Ultimates. With his first skill, “Designated Duty,” Ravion assigns an Objective to the two rearmost allies and upon their completion, the ally recovers Energy and receives a temporary ATK buff. 

Once both allies have completed their Objectives, Ravion activates “Mortal Ace,” teleporting behind the enemy with the highest cumulative damage dealt. He then applies a temporary Defense Shred before striking twice and knocking the enemy down, all while unaffected. “Mortal Ace” also resets the cooldown on his next skill, “Phantom Gambit.”

“Phantom Gambit” is a key skill in Ravion’s kit with a range of 4, allowing him to teleport to the tile with the most enemies and deal swift AoE damage to all enemies within range before teleporting again to the tile furthest from enemies. Ravion is unaffected while casting this skill, and can only cast it every 10s (unless the cooldown is reset by “Mortal Ace”).

Ravion’s Exclusive Skill, “Shadow Patron,” focuses highly on increasing damage output for both himself and his selected two rearmost allies. After his first “Mortal Ace” attack, Ravion permanently increases Haste and ATK for himself and any allies who have completed their Objectives. At EX +10, “Shadow Patron” includes Fatal Blow immunity with a Life Saver shield; this can be used once per battle for both Ravion and his selected delegates.

Now, for a quick overview of his performance in various game modes:

• Story and AFK Stages - Ravion fits like a glove with the current Wilder AFK Stage meta (Thador, Tasi, Velara, Faramor etc) due to the ATK/Haste buff and Energy Recovery he brings for both himself and his allies. 

• Dream Realm - Although Ravion’s individual damage in boss battles cannot compete with the current nuclear PVE meta units like Shemira or Baelran, his skill specialization makes him a great supporting anchor to push these heroes to their maximum potential. However, when fighting a boss, Ravion’s Designated Duty skill is standardized so that allies will always complete their Objectives after 20s; this can run the risk of hindering his performance if the selected allies face survival issues before he is able to activate his Mortal Ace.

• PVP - When set up correctly, Ravion can be a menace to contend with on both offense and defense. He brings excellent buffing and Crowd Control to help your classic Burst teams nuke the enemy quickly and effectively. His ability to teleport to and from crowded areas helps to improve his own survivability and with Life Saver shield unlocked he can even offer Fatal Blow immunity to himself or his designated allies. From early testing, Ravion synergizes very well with units such as Lily May, Perseus, Zandrok, Athalia, Thador, Dunlingr, Indris and Pang.

Investment

• Legendary+ increases Ravion’s ATK up to two times.

• Mythic+ gives Ravion and his allies a permanent Haste and ATK boost after his first Mortal Ace attack.

• EX +10 unlocks Fatal Blow immunity for Ravion or an ally with their Objective, granting the ally a 200% shield and 20 Life Drain for 5s after swapping positions with Ravion. This can be triggered 1x per battle for each ally and for Ravion himself. Additionally, Ravion’s designated allies can receive extra shielding up to 100% based on how much progress they have made on their Objective.

• Supreme+ grants Ravion’s designated allies an extra 15% ATK buff and unaffected status for 5s when accepting the Objective. This can bring a highly competitive edge to your team if Ravion assigns his Objectives to burst DPS units who specialize in hitting hard and fast at battle start.

To fully make use of his abilities, Ravion’s ideal investment is S+ EX +10, with the eventual Paragon priority due to his excellent synergy with a number of high priority PVP Assassins.

Conclusion

Altogether, Ravion’s skills make him a powerful contender for a slot in your classic Burst/Nuke PVP teams who aim to eliminate the enemy threat before it even has the opportunity to synergize. Due to the extension of his buffing and supporting skills beyond that of just himself, he is also a fine contender for PVE boss battles where ATK boosting, Haste, Energy and shielding are key requirements for your team’s success.
