Introduction
Hello and welcome to Method's Rime Guide. My name is Billiboes, I play Rime regularly at the highest ranks (top 0.01%) and I am here to give you all the information you need to excel in Early Access Season 3 of Fellowship playing Rime. My goal is to help you understand the basics of Rime and also give you insight on how the Hero plays into endgame.
If you want to watch Rime gameplay at a high level I stream on occasion. I try to answer Rime questions the best I can as well when I have time between runs.
Overview:
Rime is a ranged caster DPS who operates in burst windows with a builder/spender gameplay loop.
Strengths
- Well rounded damage profile.
- Scales well early, remains competitive end-game.
- Rotation is engaging
- Many potentially viable builds
Weaknesses
- DPS can lack between cooldowns.
- Does not excel in any particular damage profile.
- Other Heroes have stronger spirit ults
Rime Cheat Sheet
Stat Priority
Intellect > Haste = Crit = Expertise > Spirit
Aim for around 22%+ in Haste, Crit, and Expertise. After reaching ~22% in Haste, Crit, and Expertise, it's best to continue getting more Expertise and Crit.
Spirit is your worst stat so having as little Spirit as possible is best, but having 10-15% is not bad with the recent inclusion of Rising Spirit
Best In Slot Gear
- BIS Weapon: Asha's Chronoshift Spire
- BIS Relics: Sinbinding Stone + Ancient Wardstone
- BIS Legendary: TBD
