Synergies from real kit effects
Ravenswatch heroes don’t have formal classes, but their traits clearly combine. Every pairing below is derived from a documented kit effect.
Snow Queen’s Chilled sets up every damage type
Snow Queen’s Ice Crown applies Chilled (−40% move speed for 5s) and her active shatters chilled enemies for 60 damage. Any hero that benefits from enemies standing still — Pied Piper’s rats, Geppetto’s Dummies focus-firing, or a melee hero closing in — gets more value when she slows the room first.
Pied Piper rat swarm + AoE clear
Pied Piper summons up to 20 rats that attack 3× for 5 damage each. Pair him with a hero who drops area damage (Aladdin’s 250-damage Power wish, or any AoE ultimate) so the rats lock targets while the burst ability cleans up.
Sun Wukong’s stances buff the party
Sun Wukong’s Taiji is the only trait that directly empowers allies: Yin gives nearby heroes +10% Life on Hit and +15 Shield for 6s; Yang grants Strength for 4s. A Wukong player who flips to Yin before the team engages, then Yang for the damage window, raises everyone’s output.
Geppetto’s Dummies enable safe DPS
Geppetto builds up to three Dummies that draw aggro and hit for 40 damage. A Dummy-anchored front line lets squishy ranged heroes (Snow Queen, Pied Piper, Aladdin) free-fire without kiting. This is the backbone of most four-player clears.
Carmilla’s Blood and Night phase
Carmilla fuels abilities with Blood and gains +30% Crit Chance at Night plus +30% Move Speed in Winged Form. Play her at night, or pair her with a hero who can extend fights into the night cycle, to maximise crit uptime.
Aladdin’s wish as a panic button
Aladdin’s Defense wish revives or fully heals nearby heroes with a permanent 30 Shield. In co-op that is a team reset on a cooldown — value it above his raw damage when the party is hurting.
Romeo and Juliet bond
The two share Until death do us part: if one dies the other dies, but each can spend 15% max HP to heal the partner for 200% (overflow → Shield). Run them together and they become a self-sustaining duo.
What NOT to force
- Don’t stack two pure melee front-liners with no aggro tool — without a Dummy or rat swarm, both get focused.
- Don’t pair two heroes who need the night phase (Carmilla) unless you can actually reach night; the day phase halves her value.
