How Ruin Witch Works
- No offensive attack: she waits for a destroyed building, then moves to reachable rubble.
- Summon cycle: four-second vacuum phase followed by the Ruin Knight summon.
- Wall rule: wall rubble does not count, and she cannot jump or break a wall to reach blocked rubble.
- Limit: after the eighth Ruin Knight summon, the Ruin Witch despawns.

Ruin Witch Attack Strategy
- Deploy after damage: create the first reachable rubble before placing the Ruin Witch.
- Keep the lane open: closed Walls can make nearby rubble unusable.
- Follow the main push: newly spawned Knights should fight instead of spending their short life walking.
- Use as support: Ruin Witch is good when the army keeps destroying buildings and creating reachable rubble; it is not a primary damage troop.
Fix Common Ruin Witch Problems
- She stands idle: destroy a building first and confirm its rubble is reachable.
- Knights arrive late: place her closer to the active destruction path.
- She crosses the base: create nearer rubble or tighten the funnel.
- Low value: do not send her on a separate cleanup lane.
