Is Ronin good?
Ronin specializes in Bleeds and Critical Hits, and switching between his three unique Stances lets him swap combat tools mid-fight, whether that's better Blocking, offensive utility, or bonus Bleed damage. Spending Cruelty Passives built up through Stance switching lets him predictably Evade attacks, potentially dodging every hit in a fight, and constant Stance-switching also opens up more Intercept opportunities than most champions get.
He asks a lot of the player, since it takes quick Stance-switching and sharp reflexes to run well, and Purify or Bleed Immunity cut deep since most of his damage comes from Bleeds, which keeps him at C.
Strengths
- Can predictably Evade attacks by spending Cruelty Passives built through Stance switching

- Constant Stance-switching opens up extra Intercept opportunities
Weaknesses
- Demands quick Stance-switching and sharp reflexes to play well
