Ringo is most often played as a Lane Sniper and mostly weapon items. This guide retains core attributes of Ringo with one key difference; instead of weapon power, I have used crystal items and crystal power (CP) for this guide. Feel free to make modifications to this guide if you are inclined to; this is a tested baseline for other variations. That said, this guide is for moderately experienced/established players.
At the start, purchase an
Energy Battery and potions. Energy Battery will help with sustain and energy recharge. Take
Achilles Shot for level 1, then follow the ability path listed above. Farm in lane, watch the brush for junglers, and assist your allies in jungle only when necessary. Rush for
Eve of Harvest and
Sprint Boots by the onset of mid-game.
Upgrade to
Travel Boots and begin taking objectives in jungle with your allies. Once you are at Level 6-8, start making a real effort to push toward the enemy base. Begin building to
Aftershock and
Alternating Current, both great items that enhance Ringo's damage output.
Pick up
Clockwork*, upgrade your pre-existing
Travel Boots, and get a
Heavy Prism for building
Shatterglass. This will top off the build and make Ringo a killing machine, if not the carry.
*Update: If you want to troll with
Achilles Shot and have more poking power, You can opt for
Frostburn in the place of
Clockwork.
Significant jungle threats include
Glaive,
Koshka,
Fortress,
Rona, and
Krul. Dealing with these heroes requires skill and precision, as well as caution. If you see one coming up for a gank,
Achilles Shot them quickly and utilize
Twirling Silver to increase the distance between you and your assailant.
In a teamfight, many of these heroes are played as high damage dealers, with the exception of
Fortress, who is more an initiator. Therefore, the active strategies pertain to all excluding Fortress.
Start off with a
Hellfire Brew to put lots of damage onto them and burn them. Use
Twirling Silver to stack up rapid-fire power, and rope them in with
Achilles Shot as needed.
Pushing into the enemy base, I most often use
Achilles Shot and
Twirling Silver to silence turrets with speed. Reserve
Hellfire Brew for the Vain Crystal and use the above teamfight tactics when the need arises.
Thank you for reading this guide and enjoy using this and variations for your benefit. I have made other guides for CP
Vox and strategy for
Koshka. I am PaulOfTerror, and enjoy!
