Introduction

Welcome to my guide for Ratatoskr, The Sly Messenger

My name is Zilby. I am a casual player who primarily plays conquest. My preferred role in conquest is the solo lane, but I play all the roles relatively evenly. This guide in particular is for Ratatoskr in the jungle.

This is my eleventh smitefire guide, and I intend to update it, so feel free to comment things that should be added/edited.

Regardless, lets move on to the rodent himself, Ratatoskr!

Analysis

Blue Acorn Building

Out of all of Ratatoskr's acorns, Sapphire Acorn provides the best instantaneous burst damage (arguably more than Opal Acorn. This naturally makes it the best for ability powerhousing, however its slow allows for bursty basic attack builds as well.

Emerald Acorn like Sapphire Acorn provides Ratatoskr with a slow, but unlike Sapphire Acorn provides you with a heal as well. While less bursty than Sapphire Acorn, Emerald Acorn's heal is substantial and is helpful for dueling enemies or sustaining oneself in a teamfight.

Because these acorns are similar in practice, your build options with them are similar as well. Either can be used to create bursty ability based builds, or auto-attack builds since both acorns share Blue Acorn's slow for sticking to enemies.

Ability Build

AA Build ( Emerald Acorn pref.)

AA Build

Topaz Acorn Building

Topaz Acorn unlike the acorns on the Blue Acorn branch comes with CDR built in, making it easier to build a more flexible ability based build, as well as providing extra damage on your 2. Since you lack a slow, basic attacks are more difficult to land in succession. However the stun on your 1 makes it easier to control enemies, hit Hydra's Lament for procs, or to do the Topaz Acorn combo.

What is this combo you ask? Topaz Acorn allows you to use Dart on an enemy, set up your flurry of acorns, and then Dart back through your enemies stunning them. This second stun guarantees you a couple basic attacks as well as most of your acorns from flurry of acorns hitting your target, dealing Yellow Acorn's increased damage.

Preferred Build

Opal Acorn Building

Opal Acorn's on hit effects for Ratatoskr's Dart allow you to become an ability-crit'ing machine. Using his 1 twice with high crit chance can enable you to deal huge damage in an AOE very fast. Like Serqet this allows you to build Malice rather than Rage since you're not gaining basic attack stacks, but unlike Serqet you can also proc Hydra's Lament's passive for a truly damaging build. Opal Acorn is at its best in a teamfight, dealing huge damage to everyone in Dart's range, with Dart resetting its cooldown every time you hit a new enemy.

Preferred Build

Solo Lane Building

Ratatoskr isn't the best solo laner, but it can be done as a counter pick if desired. If playing solo, you should use the sustain from Emerald Acorn as well as Ratatoskr's burst potential and escape potential to your greatest advantage. This lends to similar gameplay to Loki in the solo lane (although Loki is a better solo laner). Ratatoskr can clear waves quickly with Acorn Blast while healing off the minions and quickly take advantage of ganks by your jungler with high burst damage to your enemy laner. He's also very safe because of his escapes through Dart and Through the Cosmos, allowing him to push lane without as much risk as most other gods.

Conclusion

Ratatoskr is a very unique jungler and one of the most versatile gods in smite.
If built intelligently, you should be able to fit into any team composition and counter just about any enemy team!

I hope this guide helps any new Ratatoskr players out there, happy smiting!

Zilby you answer literally almost every single one of my questions. I feel like I should just ask you everything from now on lol.
Whats probably one of the better builds on here for him? I just tried him out and got wrecked :\
1
Zilby (132) | December 21, 2015 2:43pm
He's still viable, people just stopped using him because he stopped being OP. He would be better if they improved his Topaz Acorn though.

iReauxbot (11) | December 21, 2015 12:07pm
What the hell happen to this God? I haven't noticed this before until today, but no one's has been playing him at all. And to just to confirm so I went through my previous games in all modes to realize he wasn't on a single match.. Him and Artemis. Is he still viable or what? I'm considering playing him just because he's a unique character.

Great guide, one of the best I've seen. Very large amount of well written information, been meaning to master ratotoskr for a while feel like I'm very prepared after reading this. I am now going to try our some of the different builds.

Zilby (132) | August 11, 2015 10:44pm
Somewhat, if only because you can build to counter your specific opponent. However high ranked joust 1v1 has a very narrow pool of gods that are legitimately viable since some are broken in that game type (eg: Hel, Chronos). As far as assassins go, Kali is the best since she always has her death mark.

ChummyAllDay | August 11, 2015 8:36pm
So is he viable in joust 1v1?

Zilby (132) | June 9, 2015 11:33pm
Yeah but Bumba's Mask makes your early game crazy good, why would you sacrifice that? You can clear camps faster and counter jungle like Thanatos in the early game. While leveling Acorn Blast last is fine for the Yellow Acorn builds, you really should put a point in it. Even if you get some more damage on your other moves, that doesn't compare with the raw damage you get from a 4th ability (most notably that 100% of your physical power with 4 acorns).

As for leveling Dart first, there's really no point until you have enough items since flurry of acorns does more base damage. By the time you finish Opal Acorn, you should have Dart close to level 3 anyway, but I suppose it's an option if you're ahead in gold.

FemFatalis (15) | June 9, 2015 10:38pm
Look at the stats. Yellow Acorn gives 30 physical power, which increases your clear time, and subsequently decreases the amount of damage you take from creeps. Sure, you have mana issues, but you should be able to back after mid camps. I actually don't like Acorn Blast; I level it last. It doesn't seem as effective as everyone else claims.
1
Zilby (132) | June 9, 2015 10:11pm
@Fem, I added in your build because I'm playing it through in my head and the idea pleases me, but why on earth would you skip Bumba's Mask, or skip putting a point in your 3.
1
Zilby (132) | June 9, 2015 10:09pm
Oh that's just to indicate items that are alternatives to emerald acorn for the AA build. The wording's just a bit confusing (eg: under alt. magi's blessing, you have alternatives to magi's blessing, thus under alt. Emerald Acorn, you have alternatives to Emerald Acorn, which in this case only includes Sapphire Acorn).
1
FemFatalis (15) | June 9, 2015 10:06pm
@Zilby it doesn't matter as long as I get fed early! Btw, you take a point in your 2 first then max Dart with that build. It works so well, and you don't even need Bumba's Mask.

In build 2, the Sapphire Acorn is in the "Alt Emerald Acorn" section.

SmiteFire & Smite

Smite is an online battleground between mythical gods. Players choose from a selection of gods, join session-based arena combat and use custom powers and team tactics against other players and minions. Smite is inspired by Defense of the Ancients (DotA) but instead of being above the action, the third-person camera brings you right into the combat. And, instead of clicking a map, you use WASD to move, dodge, and fight your way through the detailed graphics of SMITE's battlegrounds.
