we’ll explore the revamped Rafaela and her powerful new passive that allows her to resurrect teammates. We’ll also cover her best build, spell choices, and how to maximize her impact in late-game team fights.
Rafaela’s old passive has been replaced with a game-changing ability: she can now revive a fallen teammate. However, the cooldown is tied to the teammate’s respawn timer. For example:
If a teammate’s respawn time is 30 seconds, the passive cooldown becomes 150 seconds (30 × 5).
The cooldown can reach a maximum of 240 seconds and is not affected by cooldown reduction items.
This means the longer the fallen teammate’s respawn time, the longer Rafaela’s passive cooldown will be.
Avoid using it during combat: If Rafaela is interrupted while reviving, the passive goes on cooldown without reviving the ally.
Use it strategically: Save the passive for key teammates like the jungler or gold laner, especially during Lord fights.
Stay hidden: Activate the passive from a bush or safe zone to avoid being canceled.
Skill 1: Deals damage.
Skill 2: Heals allies.
Ultimate: AoE crowd control.
Only the passive has changed; the rest of her kit remains the same.
Core Item: Flash of the Oasis
Optional Items: Enchanted Talisman (for faster healing cooldown), Mana Boots or Cooldown Boots
Spell Choices: Revitalize or Flicker (Revitalize is preferred for sustain)
Rafaela shines in the late game. Her ability to revive a key teammate can turn the tide of battle. Prioritize reviving:
Junglers during Lord fights
Gold laners or mages in critical moments
Avoid reviving allies randomly—save it for clutch moments. A smart Rafaela can carry the team by making the right resurrection call.
Pairing Rafaela with Faramis creates a resurrection synergy:
Faramis revives the whole team temporarily with his ultimate.
Rafaela can permanently revive one key teammate after the fight.
This combo could become a meta-defining strategy in future patches!
