How to Get Ruler Ragna in Universal Tower Defense X

Alright, this one’s not like your usual grind. This is one of those “you either get lucky… or you suffer” type of units. If you’ve seen people running around with Ragna and deleting waves, yeah—that’s what we’re talking about here. But getting him (especially with the Ruler trait) is where things get serious.

Let’s break it down properly so you don’t waste time.

How to Get Ruler Ragna in Universal Tower Defense X

Inside Universal Tower Defense, Ragna got a massive glow-up in 2.0.

Before:

  • Decent unit
  • Had annoying mechanics (literally deleted himself)

Now:

  • Huge damage buff
  • New relic interaction
  • Doesn’t delete himself anymore
  • Insane burst potential

And with Ruler trait?
Completely different level

0.1% Ruler

Let’s be honest here.

  • Getting Ragna = doable
  • Getting good relics = grindy
  • Getting Ruler = pain

We’re talking:

  • Extremely low chance
  • Pure RNG
  • Requires rerolls (a LOT of them)

This is where most players either:

  • Burn all resources
  • Or give up halfway

Step 1 – Actually Getting Ragna

You need to farm the Ragnarok mode / challenge content.

From what we know:

  • Ragna drops from specific content
  • There’s also a ~5% relic drop tied to him
  • You’ll be farming this repeatedly

Good news:

  • With 2.0, farming is faster
  • Macro system helps automate runs

Bad news:

  • Still RNG-heavy

Step 2 – Getting His Relic (Very Important)

This is where Ragna becomes strong.

His new relic gives:

  • +50% damage
  • Removes self-delete mechanic
  • Improves abilities significantly

Without this relic:
He’s not worth the effort

With it:
He becomes a top-tier burst unit

Step 3 – Optimizing Relics (New System)

2.0 added something huge:

Substat rerolling + stat locking

What you should aim for:

  • Crit Rate
  • Crit Damage
  • Cooldown Reduction

Avoid wasting rolls on:

  • Random defensive stats
  • Low-impact bonuses

You can:

  • Lock good stats
  • Reroll bad ones

This is where you min-max properly.

Step 4 – Getting Ruler Trait (The Real Grind)

Now the painful part.

To get Ruler Ragna:

  • Use Trait Rerolls
  • Stack as many as possible
  • Pray

There’s no shortcut here.

Best strategy:

  • Farm rerolls using codes + raids
  • Don’t reroll randomly—commit to one unit
  • Stop if you’re low (don’t tilt-spend everything)

How Strong Is Ragna Actually?

Let’s talk real performance.

Strengths:

  • Massive burst damage
  • High nuke output (~300k+ hits)
  • Doesn’t rely on freeze anymore
  • Great for short modes

Weakness:

  • Needs time to charge
  • Falls off in long waves
  • Resets after transformation

So he’s not a “place and forget” unit.

Best Use Case for Ragna

He shines in:

  • Raids
  • Short game modes
  • Fast clears
  • Burst-heavy strategies

Not ideal for:

  • Infinite mode (long runs)
  • Sustained DPS fights

Ragna vs Megumin

A lot of people compare them.

  • Ragna: Burst monster, timing-based
  • Megumin: More consistent, true damage, better scaling

Right now:
Megumin is still more reliable overall
Ragna is more explosive in short fights

Macro Farming Tip (Important)

The built-in macro helps—but it’s not perfect.

  • Works for farming runs
  • Can break with cutscenes
  • Not as smooth as external tools yet

Still worth using for:
Passive grinding while you do something else

Getting Ruler Ragna is honestly a grind test.

If you go for it, expect:

  • RNG frustration
  • Lots of rerolls
  • Repeated farming

But once you get it?

It’s one of the most satisfying units to use right now.
