Health: 80
Armor: 0
Movement Speed: 2.0
Damage: 10
Attack Speed: 1.5
Crit Rate: 40%
Location: can replace Kath, which when Ruth is active the Magic Ball will reskin into a red glowing skull.

[PASSIVE] Apotheosis Bar: the Apotheosis bar (up to 100) can be increased by using default attack (and certain skill styles) on the enemies. When Apotheosis is above 50, Ruthven can gain health passively.

Default Attack: Ruthven slashes thrice, dealing 3, 4 and 5 dmg respectively. Crit Hits marks enemies with a Torment Mark, which Ruthven can use Crimson Corpuscle when enough stacks have existed in a room (note: Torment Marks deal a bit of DOT and can be stacked on a same enemy) RUTHVEN'S DEFAULT ATTACK WILL SWITCH BASED ON YOUR SECONDARY SKILL.

Crimson Corpuscle: replaces Ruthven's Roll button. You can only use it when there are more than 3 enemies marked with a Torment Mark. the Crimson Corpuscle is a small orb behind Ruthven that grows larger the more Torment Marks exist. Using this skill will explode the Crimson Corpuscle, sacrificing a maximum of 10 health to detonate all Torment Mark stacks on your enemies, dealing 8 dmg per stack. With more than 10 stacks existing, this grants 20 Apotheosis and 10 health.

Skill 1: Effloresce
Ruthven performs a series of slashes and stabs which deals 10 dmg each and ruptures enemies hit. Cooldown: 6 seconds.
As secondary skill: Ruthven's default attack turns into stabs that deal 3 damage. Final hit grants a stack of Bloodfiend Rupture. However, attack speed reduce to 1.5

Style 1: Bloodfiend: The final stab grants a stack of Bloodfiend Rupture which leeches health for Ruthven for a short duration.

Style 2: Deadlock: Holding the skill button allows longer duration of slashes and stabs, up to 3 more seconds.

Style 3: Art of Blood - Avaritia: Ruthven sacrifices 20 health when he uses this skill, but gains more slashes and stabs at a longer, unflinching duration. If the skill is executed without Ruth taking any dmg, he regains the 20 health when skill ends.

**Skill 2: Chiroptophobia ** Ruthven uses at least 10 Apotheosis to summon non-targetable bats that bites enemies. Every 10 Apotheosis summons 2 bats. After using the skill, tapping skill button again to call back all bats, recovering 1 health for each bats returning. Note: Casting this skill always uses all available Apotheosis. Cooldown: 1 second.
As secondary skill: Crit hits from Ruthven's default attack spawns 1 bat. However, the skill can't spawn bats anymore, and can only call back bats for health.

Style 1: Inner Suffering: Bats has a chance to inflict Fear and Rupture on enemies. Inflicting fear on enemies grants 1 health each.

Style 2: Gula: When tapping skill again, instead of calling back, bats detonate themselves instead, granting 1 stack of Torment Mark and 6 dmg per bat.

Style 3: Art of Blood - Luxuria: Ruthven sacrifices 10 health per 20 Apotheosis when he cast this skill. Enemies swarmed by bats will suffer from more damage, as well as stacks of rupture. Crits from the bats will restore health for you. Calling back bats won't restore health, however.

Skill 3: Maledict Ruthven enters Maledict form, which slowly drains your health in exchange of extra attack speed, movement speed, as well as damage. While in Maledict form, you can't gain Torment stacks, tapping on Crimson Corpuscle will instead trigger Maledict special skill. Tap on the Maledict skill button to revert back to normal. Reaching 1 health will automatically end Maledict form. Cooldown: 1 second (revert), 8 seconds (skill itself).
As secondary skill: Using Maledict form on secondary won't drain Ruthven's health, but only gives weaker buffs of attack speed and movement speed. Also can't use special attack.

Style 1: Exenteration: Use 50 Apotheosis to trigger special attack, which detonates all torment marks into bloodfiend ruptures.

Style 2: Ira: When Maledict form is active, normal attack uses 2 Apotheosis to leech health for Ruthven. Crit hits uses 4 Apotheosis.. Special attack becomes a stronger single slash which deals 6 dmg and grants a bloodfiend rupture. Health drains quicker however.

Style 3: Art of Blood - Goresplatter: Use 100 Apotheosis and ALL health (leaving 1) to trigger a special attack, which Ruthven will stop all enemies (and bosses, excluding Medea/Protozoid, Iblis and Asura Phase 3) before blasting EVERYTHING around him with spikes of many, many 10 dmg ticks. All enemies will be targetted, regardless how far they are from Ruthven. Skill cooldown increased to 16 seconds, however.
Note: Boss transitions only start when skill is over.
