Ringmaster controls space with Tame the Beasts, a channeled fear that grows with channel time, and the Wheel of Wonder, which mesmerizes enemies that face it for too long. Impalement Arts needs a precise aim and then bleeds a share of maximum health, while Escape Act boxes a unit into an untargetable, silenced state. Facing away from the wheel avoids the mesmerize, and Spotlight erodes illusions.
Counter items
Black King BarSpell immunity blocks Tame the Beasts, Impalement Arts and the Wheel of Wonder.
Aeon DiskCombo Breaker zeroes damage, so the Impalement Arts bleed stops ticking.
