Ravenswatch Pied Piper Build Guide
The Pied Piper is the summoner: a ranged flute hero who floods the field with rats, making him one of the easiest heroes to play and a top co-op support.
The kit
- Attack — Flute: ranged magical notes.
- Power — Solo: a stronger note attack.
- Special — Fortissimo: a big sonic burst.
- Defense — Acoustic Blast: a defensive sound wave.
- Trait — Infestation: summons a swarm of rats (up to 20) that attack, debuff, or explode.
Build direction
The Pied Piper rewards a swarm-and-zone playstyle. His rats do the fighting, so your job is to keep summoning, position the swarm onto clusters, and use your sonic skills to finish or control. Because the rats soak attention, he is unusually safe for a ranged hero.
He is flexible: rat builds, special builds, and hybrid builds all work, which is part of why he ranks highly. In co-op he is one of the best healers/supports because the swarm’s value spreads across the team — you are not just damaging for yourself, you are enabling everyone.
New players benefit most: ranged safety plus a self-sufficient army means fewer punished mistakes while learning enemy patterns.
What to prioritize
- Summon and sustain the rat swarm.
- Sonic skills (Fortissimo / Acoustic Blast) for cluster damage and control.
- Survivability so the swarm keeps fighting.
