Heretical Wiki

Ruvius is one of the playable characters of Heretical. They can be found very early on into the game and simply require you talking to them to unlock them. Ruvius is a powerful magic user who, if built correctly, can become a walking storm of elements. Their skill, Elemental Overload, can deal a fair amount of damage and also provide you barrier, giving Ruvius a very strong defensive layer. The downside is that Elemental Overload casts a relatively small nova, requiring Ruvius to stay close to enemies to make use of it.

Starting Skill[]

  • Elemental Overload - When dealing fire, frost or lightning damage, gain a Nova stack. Upon reaching 3 stacks for any element, release a Nova that does damage around you and grants barrier equal to 25% of damage dealt.

Unlock Requirements[]

  • Defeat Matron Amara and exit her arena to the left, OR take the longer route down around the base of the Forsaken Settlement
  • At the top of the winding staircases, step onto the bridge leading towards Stray Star 2.
  • Talk to Ruvius
