After todays update.
At first I thought what is this? But works very well in my defense. Glad I got him.
Im still shocked about those votes for rayā¦
How he still is criminally underrated 
Hes an exceptional strong support hero for those red fast + very fast hitters
He will be strong + useful for a very long time
Completely agree! I use him every war and he is on my primary raid team with Nyx and Serandite.
He is great hit 200k on Titan with him easy was my first time getting 200k
Perhaps people also look at his 2nd charge which is just crazy trash. But I agree: 1st charge is AMAZING! Some of the best support at faster-than-very-fast currently in the game!
Heās on my primary raid team with nyx too.
Instead of Serandite I use Erebus or Alucard (lately 2LB Erebus to take out Aramis).
His 2nd charge attack up Vs Nature stacks with regular attack up from BT. Not sure how itāll work with cWilbur since my alt doesnāt have him
Oh my goshā¦ Why did i think ray dispels first. I was so mad when i thought he was nerfedā¦ Turns out Iām just dumb.
Iām really happy with Rayās first chargeā¦ Butā¦ When there is a cascade and he slips into his second chargeā¦ Iām usually annoyed. Either there isnāt a nature hero to hitā¦ Or Iām at max health with over healā¦ Butā¦ I love rayā¦ Love that first charge.
His first charge is the best I feel the same way hate those cascade
yeah hes one of the very few heroes you should watch out for not making him faster with troops & stuff 
Yeah, Rayās first charge is exceptionally useful. Ray is usually the most important member of my raid team of Ray, R&N, Milena, Thanatos and Becky. At the start of the raid Iām looking for 5 or 6 red tiles to remove lb2 buffs from the enemy and reduce their HP by 600 over 3 turns, which softens them up and often wins half of the battle. A second or even third time of his first charge wins many battles.
Rayās second charge has the cleanse, the 100% ensured +10% mana for all and the 2x -5% mana generation stack going for it. Sometimes even the HoT is very useful. The +50% attack against nature heroes is kind of invisible to me, though. But I basically never aim for the second charge in raids, only in events, because he will simply keep charging and the double stack is nice against the bosses. During a raid his second charge usually only comes up when there is an accidental cascade and Iām already in a good position to win.
I really love his first charge and the 50% chance for +10% mana that will charge a red fast hero like R&N with 18% mana generation in 6 tiles. Then R&N will return the favour and distribute mana from her target.
If Ray doesnāt proc the +10% mana, then often my Milena has a chance to charge R&N. And if that fails, her heal and Thanatosā heal will give R&N the 10% mana due to R&Nās passive.
My Becky can also give 10% mana with her second charge and she often wraps up the battle with her second charge. Sometimes she even turns the battle around. At lb2 she does 400-500 damage to all and my heroes are charged very quickly at this point with ghost tiles over the 5 turns of her buff.
I love my raid team 
Iām leaning on 2x lb rayā¦ yaāll have a card leveled so I can see if that is really something I want to do?
Hathor or Roughian are my other options in redā¦ but I think I am going ray.
I have Hathor and Ray. Gave Hathor the lb2. She is more versatile.
The reason I am leaning ray isā¦ I have charonā¦ I have Heimdall, I have Arcoā¦ and Hathor is @ 4.85. But she only becomes more sturdyā¦ her healing or other effects donāt increase with the additional bumpā¦ butā¦ ray becomes more sturdy, and deals more damage via dotā¦ and I donāt have to worry about this stupid goblin mechanic which completely degrades overhealing.
I got Ray when he was first released.
I think charge 1 is amazing to use with Serandite.
His dot is insignificant when overriden by a follow up hit from Seandite.
He is good enough for me just at 3/70.
Competition for rings is high so I canāt justify ascending him just for 2/3 useful charge 1.
I had shared a raid somewhere in this forum including Ray & Seranditeā¦
