Ronda Mastery Guide

Masteries are the choices you make while building a champion. Masteries decide the way you want a champion to perform in different scenarios of the game. Naturally, they also accentuate their power indescribably due to their unique mechanics. Ronda greatly benefits from masteries just like any other champion. Her powerful single-targeted damaging skills can hit even harder with the masteries that we will list for her in this guide. For a more general idea, we classify the masteries and suggest them according to the different content available in the game. For example, if you are planning to use Ronda in PVP content, then you would like to go for more damage-oriented masteries like Helmsmasher. If you are planning to use Ronda for dungeons or PvE content like Doom Tower and Clan boss, then we recommend going for masteries like Warmaster/Giantslayer.

Ronda Artifact and Stat Recommendations

Ronda is a pure damage dealer and she will mostly benefit from stacking up damaging stats that boost her damage capabilities instead of building her like an off-set tanky damage dealer. Her base stats with a base Attack of 612 also favors her being built as a pure damage dealer. Keep in mind that she does deal quite a lot of damage but isn’t the best of the class legendary DPS champions. She doesn’t bring any important debuffs such as Defense Down or Attack down that can impact early game accounts. She does perform way better than any of the starter champions would do. We would recommend you to test out some builds in order to see which one suits her the best for your account.

Keep in mind that we do not include stats as they are variable according to your artifacts. We just provide the Set values and stats the players should be aiming for. With that in mind, let’s explore Ronda’s Artifact and Stat preferences:

PvE Artifact Sets Savage Set, Lethal Set, Cruel Set, Relentless Set, Defiant Set.

PvP Artifact Sets: Stoneskin Set, Savage Set, Lethal Set, Cruel Set, Defiant Set.

Stats to Focus On (PvE): Speed, Critical Hit Rate, Critical Hit Damage, Attack%.

Stats to Focus On (PvP): Critical Hit Rate, Critical Hit Damage, Attack%.

Ronda Team Building and Synergies

Ronda is best suited with champions that enable her to deal the maximum amount of damage. As previously mentioned, she does not have any of the damage buffs such as enemy decrease defense or self-Attack buff. You would likely want to use her as your nuker in dungeon runs or as a nuker in Arena teams. Here are some general team compositions we feel she fits in quite well:

1. Ronda + Arbiter + Raglin + Ma’Shalled (Best Possible team)
2. Ronda + Ninja + Rector Darth + Apothecary + Ultimate Deathknight (Good dungeon team)
3. Ronda + Siphi the Bride + Raglin + Krisk the Ageless (Tanky Bruiser Arena Team)
4. Ronda + Lydia + Gorgorab + Arbiter (Debuff Heavy Team)
