If you’re wondering how you should build your Ruby in Hero Clash you’re in the right place. Equipping the right artifact, rune sets, rune stats and gear and running the right talents make a huge difference in how well Ruby performs and we tested all setups to shed some light what you should really do here. Also, the hero guides and recommendations inside the game are really off and I don’t want to get into consipiracy theories that this is on purpose to make you spend for more power creeps, I just believe they are very generaically created and I can tell you if you build your Ruby like shown below, you will see a huge difference!
To get a general idea how important investing in Ruby really is please also refer to my tier list that is not sorted by total power points but by how generally useful and powerful a hero in Hero Clash really is:

IMPORTANT: The recommended builds of heroes inside the game are not ideal and very generic and if you build your heroes according to that, you will leave a lot of their potential on the table!

This is the setup we recommend for this slot. The closer a piece you own gets to it, the better it works on this hero. Mind the strength shown on the right of each sub stat — the higher ones are what push this build over its critical thresholds.



Rows without a stat are free — anything can roll there without hurting the build.
