Lane

1. Rhasta solos mid as he needs the farm. If you don't want to solo mid or someone wanted to solo first, don't follow this guide.

2. Focus on last hits over denies(still deny but last hit more) unless you completely dominate the lane and can do both as the lane is freefarm.

3. Runewhore, buy wards if necessary or get ur allies to do it if it's a higher level game.

4. Farm well with lightning.

5. If the enemy tries to engage you, zap him, delay and shackle to do dmg/pass time for another zap. Once he's out of shackle, zap again and kill.

6. If you are ganked, do what you normally do wif any hero. No tricks on this, it's all experience.

7. Gank other lanes if necessary.

�

Mid Game

1. Farm up the Arganium.

2. If lanes are taken by ur allied gankers/empty lane, go take it and farm as they should not be farming.

3. If lanes are taken by ur allied carries/unsafe, go gank.

4. Whenever you feel like it, go to ur side ancient camp, wait till about 52 seconds and pull the camp.

5. When ur ancient camp has 2-4 stacks of ancient creeps, depending on how patient you are, cast wards about 4-5 rhastas away from the camp. Hit the creeps so you pull them to you. Keep running back and forth and hitting so the creeps not only don't hit your wards, they spend most of their time running around.

Arganium Up and Level 16

1. Wards are now at its best and rape face really hard. Either catch and push, defend then counterpush or just push. Unless the enemies are really fat, your team is really bad or the enemy hero lineup is totally imbalanced, you will win the clash thx to wards. 10 wards 70 dmg a hit = 700 piercing dmg. Minus resistances to 200-300 dmg = Finger dmg every 3 secs.

2. When pushing, make a decision. Clash outside their base and plant wards outside base(1). Or plant wards in their base and clash inside(2).

(1) - No tower dmg, flat ground

(2) - Enemies have to worry about their tower/raxes beign destroyed, If clash leaves the base, wards will destroy their tower/raxes.

3. If necessary, farm when not clashing but always tp to a clash and ulti.

4. Still pull the ancient creeps.

Long Game with fat carries on both sides

1. Backdoor. Go to enemy tower/raxes, wards refresher(if u have it) wards, and rax. Backdoor when the enemies least expect it.

2. Clashing - Same thing as before.

3. Catching - Go with a fat carry who does mass dmg. Disable the enemy to death and let ur carry rape.

�

Farming with Lightning

Lvl 1 - Last hits creeps + harrass.

Lvl 2 - Lasts hits melee creeps + harrass + dmg range creep by slightly more than half so 3-4 hits b4 zapping is necessary

Lvl 3 - Lasts hits melee creeps + harrass + dmg range creep 2/3 so 2-3 hits b4 zapping is necessary.

Lvl 4 - Lasts hits melee creeps + harrass + kills range creep if it got hit once by rhasta beforehand.

To zap properly, get the creeps/heroes you want to hit be in a cone infront of you, then go slightly nearer the creeps and click zap on the melee creep that will die. If done correctly, the range creep and the enemy hero would get hit as well.

�

Ganking with Wards

Method 1 - Hex enemy, run to him, ward on his face. Once hex runs out, shackle and lightning after and hes dead.

Method 2 - Ward the direction he is running and immediately shackle. More risky but compulsary at low lvls or low mana.

Method 3 - Euls, wards, shackle, hex, zap.

1 Last Reminder about Wards

Always get them to target the hero/building you want to kill asap.

Conclusion

Basically, this is the strategy Rhasta owns the most with. If you disagree, ur wrong. So follow this guide if you happen to get Rhasta and want to win the game. If you do badly, it's not the guides fault, it's simply cuz you laned a hard lane or got mass ganked and ur allies didn't help, either that or it's because you suck.
