Deploy Ragnars in Invincible: Guarding the Globe as a dedicated primary or secondary damage dealer whenever your team encounters high-HP targets or stage timers running out. Because Ragnars lack defensive traits and self-sustain, you must position them safely behind a high-mitigation tank and pair them with strong healing or stat support.
Required Squad Roles for Ragnars
Ragnars rely entirely on squad structure to survive long enough to cycle through their abilities. Placing Ragnars on the field without defensive support results in early eliminations and wasted damage potential.
| Squad Slot | Ideal Hero Type | Core Function for Ragnars |
|---|---|---|
| Frontline Defender | Tank / Mitigation Specialist | Absorbs enemy aggro and prevents direct targeting of Ragnars. |
| Backline DPS | Ragnars | Delivers heavy sustained damage to high-health targets. |
| Support / Healer | Dedicated Support | Maintains team health so Ragnars can sustain their attack rotation. |
| Utility / Buff | Stat Buffer / Debuffer | Applies speed boosts or physical armor debuffs to amplify Ragnars' output. |
Essential Team Building Rules
- Protect the Backline: Never place Ragnars in the front row where direct damage can eliminate them before their rotation starts.
- Match Faction Bonuses: Build around Ragnars' faction alignment whenever possible to activate passive stat enhancements.
- Focus Enemy Debuffs: Combine Ragnars with allies that weaken enemy resistance to maximize total squad damage per second.
When to Deploy Ragnars vs. Bench Them
Ragnars are specialized for raw offensive pressure rather than endurance battles. Use the following breakdown to determine whether to include Ragnars in your current activity:
- Deploy in GDA Ops & Boss Challenges: Choose Ragnars when failing stages due to running out of time. Their damage focus helps bypass "damage walls" against high-health targets.
- Deploy in Standard Campaign Progression: Swap out low-damage support units for Ragnars if your defenders are surviving but your overall squad output falls short.
- Bench Against High Burst Enemies: If your team wipes instantly within the first few seconds of a match, swapping in another damage dealer like Ragnars will not solve the bottleneck; deploy extra defensive units instead.
Resource Investment Priority
Upgrading Ragnars requires balancing Hero XP and rank-up materials against your roster's overall health:
- Assess Roster Foundation: Confirm that your main squad already has an upgraded frontline tank and healer before allocating heavy materials to Ragnars.
- Check Rank Fodder: Compare Ragnars' current star/ascension rank against your alternative damage options. A low-rank Ragnars unit will underperform relative to a highly ascended unit from another faction.
- Target Specific Account Needs: Invest in Ragnars primarily if your main account lacks top-tier damage output or if you need dedicated DPS for faction-restricted content.
