Ruby is one of the six official Ink colors of Disney Lorcana.[1]
Most cards belong to 1 of the six available ink colors. Dual Ink cards exist but are a rare occurrence, first added since Archazia's Island. Deck building restrictions in Core Constructed format allow up to 2 different ink colors in a deck in no particular proportion. Other Formats allow for any combination of colors.
Nature
Ruby glimmers are daring. They use their speed and bravery to defy the odds. They are often warriors, explorers, and daredevils.
Ruby ink embodies the spirit of courage;[2] those who harness the ink are daring and adventurous who seek glory and rise up to any challenge.[3] Glimmers made with Ruby ink are speedsters, adventurers, and risk-takers who will leap into action first.[4][5][6]
Ruby is represented by the color red. Its icon is a blast of flame. Ravensburger Creative Director Shane Hartley shared more characteristics for Ruby Glimmers, stating that Ruby glimmers are "daring", so the art team purposely created an asymmetrical design to show how these glimmers leap right into action.[6]
The Ruby Chromicon and Ruby Coil grant the user vitality and confidence.
“Leave fear behind.”
–Inscription
Venturo felt a spark from his arm coil, and energy flooded his strained muscles.
Mechanics
Ruby inks work to overwhelm an opponent with aggressive tactics and speedy counterattacks.
Banishing Characters
Ruby glimmers have the ability to banish opposing characters. This ability is found on Maleficent - Monstrous Dragon, Moana - Chosen by the Ocean, Be Prepared, Dragon Fire, Poisoned Apple, and Sword of Truth.
Exerting
Ruby glimmers are able to exert opposing characters, as shown on Poisoned Apple. It gets this ability less frequently than Amethyst does.
Evasive
Ruby glimmers have access to the Evasive keyword, as shown on Goofy - Daredevil, Mickey Mouse - Brave Little Tailor, Pongo - Ol' Rascal, and Tigger - Wonderful Thing.
It shares this ability with Amethyst and Emerald. However, Ruby is only able to have Evasive itself. It cannot grant Evasive to others. Despite that, Ruby does get Evasive more frequently than Amethyst.
Granting Reckless
Ruby glimmers have the ability to grant Reckless to opposing characters, as seen on Captain Hook - Ruthless Pirate. It gets this ability far less frequently than Emerald does, and is far more limited when it does get it.
Lore Increase
Ruby glimmers can increase the lore of other characters, as shown on Mulan - Imperial Soldier. Unlike other inks that can increase the lore of characters, a Ruby glimmer only increases the lore of others, not of itself.

Ready
Ruby glimmers can ready their exerted characters, as shown on Elsa - Ice Surfer, LeFou - Instigator, Scar - Shameless Firebrand, Fan the Flames, and Shield of Virtue. This comes with the downside of being unable to quest. It gets this ability more frequently than Amber and Sapphire.

Rush
Ruby glimmers have access to the Rush keyword, as shown on Captain Hook - Ruthless Pirate, Maui - Hero to All, and Peter Pan - Fearless Fighter.
In addition to having this keyword, they can also grant this ability to others, as seen on Cut to the Chase.
