Ravana

How to play Ravana

Ravana is a melee assassin from the Hindu pantheon who deals physical damage. Top players play Ravana in the Jungle.

In your kit, 10-Hand Shadow Fist (pass-through root, heal) is your main crowd control. Prana Onslaught (cone punch, slow) and Overhead Kick (line kick, immunities) add damage and pressure. Your ultimate is Mystic Rush (leap, amp and mitigate), on a long cooldown (about 90s at rank 1), so save it for fights that matter. Your passive is Chain of Blows: combo shield stacks.

Community guides level Prana Onslaught, 10-Hand Shadow Fist and Overhead Kick first. Max Prana Onslaught first, then 10-Hand Shadow Fist, then Overhead Kick.

Your job is to find and defeat a fragile target, usually the enemy mage or hunter. Do not start fights head on: wait for someone to use their escape or step out of position, then strike. In the jungle, clear your camps quickly and help other lanes by ambushing enemies who have used their escape.

Start with Bumba's Hammer, then buy Devourer's Gauntlet. Buy it early so it finishes stacking. Your core is Jotunn's Revenge and Hydra's Lament, and you finish with Barbed Carver, The Crusher and Heartseeker. A good relic is Sundering Arc. If the enemy team heals a lot or you keep dying, open the full tool and enter the enemy gods for the exact swaps.

If you own Aspect of the Rakshasa King, it reworks Chain of Blows (combo shield stacks), Enhanced Prana Onslaught (multi punch, strength), Enhanced Overhead Kick (triple kick, resistances), Enhanced 10-Hand Shadow Fist (returning fist, lifesteal) and Tenfold Manifestation (empower 1, 2, or 3). It changes what to build, so turn on Aspect in the tool when you play it.

Top players win most often against Da Ji, Discordia and Atlas, and struggle against Odin, Mercury or Cupid. Against those, play safer and consider a defensive item earlier.
