Ruby works best with heroes who can deal high AOE burst damage. Their skills can deal more damage to enemies who are stunned and pulled by her 2nd and Ultimate skills. Such as Pharsa and Kadita.
Ruby is countered by Marksman heroes with good Mobility. Because they can easily dodge her 2nd and Ultimate skills. Like Wanwan and Irithel.

Ruby starts with 6%-20% Spell Vamp (scales with level) and her skills have a 125% Spell Vamp Ratio (but her Basic Attacks cannot trigger Lifesteal). After each skill cast, Ruby can dash to another location and gains 8-25 Physical & Magic Defense (scales with level) for 4s (stacks up to 3 times).
Ruby swings her scythe, dealing 110 (+90% Total Physical Attack) Physical Damage to enemies hit. She then unleashes a shockwave in the same direction, dealing 110 (+90% Total Physical Attack) Physical Damage to enemies hit and slowing them by 40% for 1s.
Ruby swings her scythe around herself twice, each swing dealing 60 (+55% Total Physical Attack) Physical Damage to nearby enemies, stunning them for 0.5s, and slowly pulling them toward her.
Ruby sweeps her scythe in the target direction, dealing 200 (+200% Total Physical Attack) Physical Damage to enemies hit, pulling them toward her, and stunning them for 0.5s.
Skill Order: Prioritise skills in this order — Skill 3 → Skill 1 → Skill 2.

In teamfights, use Ruby's 1st Skill to slow the enemy at a distance, and close in with her Passive dash. Then use her 2nd Skill to stun the enemies in range and use her Ultimate to pull back those who try to escape.

In the laning phase, Use Ruby's 1st Skill to slow down the enemy, and the dash from her Passive to get closer. Then cast Ruby's Ultimate to pull the enemy into melee range and her 2nd Skill to keep them stunned. Finally, spam her Basic Attacks to finish them off.

Battle Spell. Ruby's most effective battle spell is Flicker, which allows her to create a "flicker hook" with her ultimate. This technique involves ulting the enemy and then using Flicker to reposition, pulling them towards your team or a tower. Vengeance is another recommended battle spell for Ruby, as it can improve her sustainability and damage output.

Building more spellvamp items such as War axe,Endless battle and Queens wings will increase Ruby's spellvamp % to sustain more in teamfights and can benefit to survive longer in teamfights thanks to Queens wings and rose gold meteor. Rose gold metoer can benefit Ruby by increasing her hybrid defenses which will combine well with her stacked passive. Oracle is beneficial item for Ruby to counter enemies anti-lifesteal equipments or spells. You can replace Ruby's boots with Immortality to have more survivability, yes it will reduce Ruby's movement and CC reduction,but late game Ruby can spam her skills to move faster because her spells uses less mana. Or you can swap the boots for Bruteforce breastsplate to have more CC reduction and movement speed with its passive.
