Ravenswatch Scarlet Build Guide
Scarlet is one of the four starters and one of the most distinct heroes: she fights fast as a human and hits hard as a monster, transforming three times per chapter.
The kit
- Attack — Daggers (human) / Claws (monster): quick swipes vs. heavier claw swipes.
- Power — Swift Strike (human) / Bite (monster): her damage button in each form.
- Special — Bomb (human) / Leap (monster): a thrown bomb that explodes, or a leaping slam.
- Defense — Cloak (human) / Howl (monster): escape or buff.
- Trait — Lycanthrope: drives the transformation.
Build direction (from TheGamer)
The best way to play Scarlet is to focus Power and Special cooldown, then flip in and out of fights with ranged specials and quick melee. Most enemies are more dangerous up close, so staying at range as the human form keeps you alive.
Recommended upgrades:
- Distant Explosions: both specials target farther and deal +40% damage.
- Short Wick: as human, the bomb explodes instantly and the special recharges 20% faster.
- Slash Flurry: after Power, the next attack within three seconds is a five-hit flurry, +20% damage.
- Wide Attacks: +40% range, +20% damage on the basic attack.
- Double Strike: the attack after a Dash triggers a double strike for 400% damage and a Combo Point.
The pattern is: stagger enemies with ranged attacks, then close in for the flurry burst.
What to prioritize
- Power and Special cooldown reduction.
- Ranged-special upgrades (Distant Explosions, Short Wick).
- Dash-into-Double-Strike combos.
