Most players misinterpret
Ringo for a weak laner. But as a matter of fact, his abilities, namely,
Achilles Shot,
Twirling Silver and
Hellfire Brew add a lot of punch to him. His passive, that is,
Double Down is an essential component in his success.
Beware of his low health and energy at level 1... Always have a few Halcyon potions to back you up. Do not use
Achilles Shot as a farming tool. It deals a lot more damage due to the excessive crystal power. Use it to slow and deal a lot of damage.
I have especially picked up some great items for
Ringo. They are as follows:
Sorrowblade
Shatterglass
Journey Boots
Alternating Current
Tornado Trigger
Clockwork
One might question my idea of having
Tornado Trigger and
Alternating Current. If you see the latter, you can see that every other basic attack deals 115% of your crystal damage. To get maximum benefit out of this I combined it with
Tornado Trigger. Rest of the items are self-explanatory.
Some of the other laners that you might have come across are as follows:
Skye
A weak opponent. If she is on the lane consider upgrading
Twirling Silver and
Achilles Shot side by side. Attack her when your
Double Down perk is ready. This will ensure the first crit. Follow it up with an
Achilles Shot and with no delay,
Twirling Silver, If she starts to escape, finish her with
Hellfire Brew. Have a few Halcyon Potions to assist you in early game.
SAW
Beware! He can crumble
Ringo. Your only hope against this menace is that when he shoots
Suppressing Fire, move out of his way, and then do the same as what was done to
Skye. Halcyon Potions are a must in the early game.
Skaarf
Do the same as what was done to
Skye... But be wary of his
Spitfire and
Goop ability.
Ringo
Now, there is a change of plans. Start with a
Crystal Bit and a couple of Halcyon Potions. Upgrade
Achilles Shot rather than
Twirling Silver in the beginning. Do the same as
Skye.
Celeste
An incredible nightmare in the game, but her moves are predictable. So keep moving and landing blows. Your best friend?
Hellfire Brew!!!
Vox
With
Vox, consider building
Crucible instead of
Tornado Trigger. It is almost impossible to defeat him without your team mates.
Joule
I'd ask you to maintain your distance. Consider starting the game with a
Crystal Bit. Upgrade
Achilles Shot first.
