Ratbo

**Ratbo** is one of the Masters in Minion Masters. This master is unlocked with 500 Shards or 300 Rubies.

## Caption

Many tales are told of Ratbo and most Scrats agree they can't all possibly be true.

Most of them revolve around his beloved Machine gun although Ratbo has been known to also throw bullets with such force they can kill.

## Description

Ratbo is among the most famous Scrat leaders. Scrats will gladly follow him blindly and in great numbers - they have a Minigun insurance...

## Abilities

## Notes

* The Scrats summoned by Ratbo's first and third perk walk from the front of his pedestal to either south or north bridge. The choice is random.
* The execution of Ratbo's second perk, More Dakka!, is telegraphed by a red target appearing over the enemy unit. If the opponent is able to spawn any unit closer to Ratbo within one second, the target will switch to the closer unit.
* More Dakka! does 15 damage per friendly Minion to opponent's Master Tower.
