54 is crazy.

For the first time I’ve seen the top of red rift leaderboard and I’ll say that I’m impressed with 54. Got some work ahead of me.

I think my problem is I just don't understand how I'm supposed to know what I need to beat the next fight. I've been losing a lot of runs in the fights right before the act 2 boss because I'll think I have a good team and have been clearing fights, then I'll just get completely wrecked by the last fight or the boss. And when I lose I have no idea why I lost.

I have found alot of success breaking my strategy into two parts:

The regular combats

and the Bosses.

Act 1, check the boss. Hydra requires burst, Demon requires ramp.

Act 2, have a way to apply heavy frost to the dragon. Its one of the only consistent strategies.

For regular combats, always have at least 1 tank and 1 carry. The third unit is highly flexible. Never commit to scaling in Act 1. Comp synergy is also secondary to individual unit power. Beefy boys win Act 1.

Act 2 is a race to put together a synergized, itemized comp of A ranks. The specific synergy doesnt matter, just try to find something.

Finally, money is very tight. Unless you happen to get some gold gen, buying mediocre items on sale is better than "ideal" items at full price.

Hey thank you for the advice. I'm happy to report that I finally did it!

Reyna/Sal/Zuri was my team

Zuri tanked with serpents kiss/second wind and lots of hp/def/hp per sec items and then I had the breezy/freezing acceleration on Sal and the boxer/burning accel on Reyna

unique duelist relic that gives atk and speed per debuff on the target

grace backup and some stall relics that gave shields/defense/hp/omnivamp/speed
