How Rat King beats Wraith

Brawler vs Marksman

Close the gap or don’t fight. Marksmen win at range, so use corners and troopers to approach, and spend your gap-closer only when you can follow through.

Your game plan as Rat King

A scrappy frontliner who makes your bullets work against you.

Lane
Rat Swarm lowers Bullet Resist with every bite. Royal Pestments deflects bullets back.
Mid game
Scrap Grenade slows, and you can melee it to redirect it.
Late game
Rule, Ratannia! makes your team slow-immune and tankier. Plant it before the engage.
