Ruffstone earns a 2.5/5.0 rating because he sits squarely in the middle of the Rare tier—useful enough to be a placeholder, but lacking the specialized kit to remain relevant in the mid-to-late game. His score is bolstered by his reliable Defense-down utility and his effectiveness in early Campaign progression. However, his abysmal ratings in Hydra (F-Tier) and Clan Boss (D-Tier) significantly drag down his overall average, as he offers almost zero utility for end-game boss mechanics. Compared to top-tier Rares like Bellower or Kael, Ruffstone lacks the AoE presence or poison scaling required
