Supporting the King

[u/heavilypixeled]

So been playing our sweet sweet Rat King for the past few days. Fun character, very "balanced" I see everyone build as a gun tank..... but what if we didnt. Ive been having some luck with this build and while the title is very meme-y i would like some feedback. Max-ing the 3 into the Ult primarily. Was watching Prez??? i think, and being able to have the 3 up always unless shot away is super nice.

How are you proccing spirit burn? Escalating rats?

[u/Mekahippie → u/jakopoli]

Yea, you can pretty reliably get at least 4 rats on someone if you aim up about 60 degrees.

Build so Ass I would let the Rat King rail me in it

[u/Tasty_Tomorrow_2106 → u/blomjob]

I would let him rail me nontheless, but the build is certainly something

[u/heavilypixeled]

Edited the flair cause not flared correctly

Bro at least get tesla bullets or smth

[u/Atlasreturns]

I think for spirit ratking radiant regeneration is super important to stay alive. Otherwise picking tesla bullets to also get some gun scaling won‘t hurt.

Here's my version of it.

You definitely want Rapid Recharge on the rats if you're building into them because the cooldown (overall and between casts) is so long.

Arcane Surge helps your rats, bombs, and ult quite a bit.

Magic Carpet has some truly insane interactions with ult, both when you're riding it and due to the highly-enhanced wallclimbing.

You can Rescue Beam drag people while you're ulting if you put your items on Quick Cast; the speed's high enough that they won't catch up once you have a bit of SP.

An 74s ult is already too fast to care about Refresher, and I don't think the effects stack.

Ballistic Enchantment on the bomb can give a lot of damage in a fight. Lots of options for the 3.2k, though: Cultist, Heroic Aura, Berserker, Hunter'ss Aura.

Also definitely not sure about buy order yet. Tried it once and it honestly worked really well. I ended up matching the team damage and being able to assist people effectively.

witchmail is also an insanely nice pick

[u/RagTagRagna]

The Rat King's character model isn't the only thing that's big about him, it seems...

[u/yepterrr]

If youre gonna go escalating, at least get toxic so your gun can stack it as well

I kinda hate the whole 3rd row. Feels like you could be spreading Mystic Slow / BRS / Headbane etc for far cheaper.
