Ravenswatch Geppetto Build Guide
Geppetto is the engineer: instead of trading blows himself, he builds a small army of constructs that hold the line. That makes him one of the safest heroes once set up, at the cost of a slower open.
The kit
- Attack — Hammer: his own melee option.
- Power — Uppercut: a launching hit.
- Special — Cogsplosion: a construct-based burst.
- Defense — Defibrillation: a recovery tool.
- Trait: deploys mechanical constructs that draw aggro and fight for him.
Build direction
Geppetto’s win condition is aggro control through constructs. The plan is to deploy his machines early so they pull enemy attention, then fight from behind them. This inverts the usual risk profile: most heroes dodge to survive, Geppetto survives by making his constructs the target.
Because his value is positional rather than a tight combo, he is forgiving — you are not punished for a missed dodge the way a glass-cannon hero is. The trade is tempo: until the workshop is online he is weaker, so the early game is about farming the resources to deploy and upgrade his constructs.
Against bosses his profile shines. With constructs soaking the boss, he can keep dealing damage from a safe angle and avoid the melee panic that kills fragile heroes.
What to prioritize
- Early construct deployment for aggro control.
- Upgrades that make the constructs tankier or hit harder.
- Survival tools so the setup phase survives.
