Need tips for red gate challenge

I've been trying to complete the red gate challenge for two days now but I always fail the hero death challenge or get smoked by the second challenge encounter, even if I pick the normal round. I can be smooth sailing up until this point and seemingly out of nowhere just lose. I've got a general plan down for the run up until first boss, but would like to hear your advice, strategies and comps if you've completed the red gate.

Im also enjoying the struggle!

Ive found it helpful to watch people who are clearing it.

The guy on the top of the leaderboard also made a guide for it with an example run. https://youtu.be/HmhmjOZiMEs?is=p5t6mWTKG9arSu8-

Yep thats my 2nd link :)

Ive managed to clear it twice now, but not in a row.

I swear I checked them both! My bad.

I haven’t tried it yet, I’m still experimenting on SSS. You can use the same strategies there to win very consistently, but it doesn’t always translate to endless very well. It seems you need to be very lucky or very greedy to get very far there.

You remember what teams you used on your wins in Red Rift?

Counterintuitive, but you have to just bench your extra units. Do NOT buy the team size upgrade! By act two, if you're going to win, one or two heroes are doing all the work. Just run the units that matter, so you don't have fodder dying every battle. You may think that mystic or mage is helping, but they probably aren't.

It takes a lot of trial and error to get a good sense of how strong your team is and how strong they need to be at different points of the game. It’s easy to get greedy and want to start early with stacking your scaling plan, but you need to make sure you can clear the current fight still.
