TFT Set 18 Trait Rundown: Ravager Explained

This guide was originally written as our initial impressions of Set 18 at the time of its reveal, prior to the PBE launch. For up-to-date guidance, click on any champion links, or check out our Meta Comps section below.

Welcome to our trait guide, where we'll be covering the Ravager trait in the new TFT Set 18: Enchanted Wilds. In this guide, we'll explain how Ravager works, cover its different champions, explore Ravager Meta Comps, and provide a quick summary of the other potential traits you could branch into.

This guide was written by Oli.

Ravager fits into both early game setups and boards built around 4-cost carries. Its healing and bonus damage help your Ravagers stay in the fight and finish off weakened enemies, with several supporting traits to build around.

Here are a few comps that play around the Ravager trait.

Solar Flare

Solar Flare activates 2 Ravager through Akali and Camille, with Varus adding ranged damage and Ornn tanking. Akali can take your AP items, leaving AD items for Camille and Varus.

Start with Akali and Varus behind Ornn and Leona, or play around Camille if she upgrades first. Slow roll at level 5 for your five 1-cost 3-stars before pushing levels to complete Solar.

Several early copies of your main units are good reasons to commit. Lich Bane or Seeker’s Armguard makes Akali especially strong, while itemising Ornn early gives you a way to earn an Artifact.

[Solar Flare Comp Guide]

Carries: Ornn, Varus, Camille and Akali
Leveling: Level 5 Slow Roll

Warwick's Wolf Pack

Warwick’s Wolf Pack works towards 4 Ravager, rerolling Warwick and Murkwolf at level 6. Diana and Brambleback complete the trait later, with Malphite tanking alone in the front row.

Start with Rek’Sai and Kobuko supporting your carries, or use an upgraded Riftbeast opener. Once you reach 3 Riftbeast, give Murkwolf the Alpha Mark and use Krug as your Blackthorn sacrifice.

Early Warwick and Murkwolf copies with AD components are strong reasons to play towards this board. Heroic Grab Bag helps you finish both 3-stars, while Rapid Firecannon and Death’s Defiance are valuable Artifact pickups for Warwick if you happen to get an Artifact augment.

Carries: Warwick, Murkwolf, Malphite and Brambleback
Leveling: Level 6 Slow Roll

Ravager Synergy

Here's a rundown of the traits you can branch into from Ravager:

• Akali - Inferno / Adaptor 
• Camille - Coven 
• Murkwolf - Riftbeast 
• Warwick - Blackthorn
• Diana - Lunar, Vanguard
• Brambleback - Riftbeast

Akali Inferno Adaptor Ravager 1g

[Link to Champion Page]

Akali's Kunai Strike throws a volley of kunai at her target, dealing heavy physical damage. As an Adaptor, her ability changes depending on whether she has more Attack Damage or Ability Power. If built with AD, Kunai Strike deals increased damage to burning targets. If built with AP, the ability resets and Akali immediately casts it again whenever it scores a kill, allowing her to chain eliminations.

Camille Coven Ravager 1g

[Link to Champion Page]

Camille is a pretty great drain tank in this set as her ability, Defensive Sweep, slices through her target, dealing physical damage while also gaining a shield. Keep in mind Camille's mana cost is extremely low, so she can become quite the tank, soaking up a bunch of damage with her Defensive Sweep ability.

Murkwolf Riftbeast Ravager 2g

Your Murkwolf champion will leap to the lowest Health enemy within hexes and deal physical damage with their Rending Claws ability. The next attack also does even more damage. If you have Riftbeast activated and manage to get the grey buff for Murkwolf, you’ll also gain Precision and critical strike chance, making it so you don’t need to build Infinity Edge.

Warwick Blackthorn Ravager 2g

[Link to Champion Page]

Warwick’s Jaws of the Beast ability bites his current target, dealing physical damage and healing for damage dealt while also gaining attack speed for the rest of combat. His ability, paired with the Ravager trait, can make him the 1v9 demon, especially if fully itemised and 3-star.

Diana Lunar Vanguard Ravager 3g

[Link to Champion Page]

Diana gains a shield for a few seconds and sends out a moonlight orb to the closest enemies, dealing magic damage with her pale barrier ability. Diana will work as the tank if you decide to play Ravager, and is extremely strong thanks to her having 3 traits to play around. Even if you don’t decide to play around Ravager, the Lunar and Vanguard traits alone will be enough for Diana to appear in other boards and become a key unit, especially during the early and mid-game.

Brambleback Riftbeast Ravager 4g

[Link to Champion Page]

Brambleback’s passive is great and can really go crazy, as when the target dies, Brambleback will leap at the next target, dealing a ton of physical damage. When Brambleback casts his Crimson Fury ability, he gains Attack damage while also ignoring the Armour of the target he’s attacking, allowing him to get through tanks fast, making him able to get resets off with his passive. 

As he’s a Riftbeast similar to Murkwolf, if you happen to get Red Buff activated on him, his attacks will also burn enemies and heal Brambleback for max Health, making him even stronger and harder to take down.
