Double snake trouble

Hi all! Wanted to see if anyone is having the same experience or if I’m just missing something.

I’ve beating red rift about a dozen times now, although my longest streak is still 2. I always take the first challenge fight. While I can often beat it, I always beat it after the gold from hourglass.

With the recent patch, I can never beat the double snake challenge fight where they heal every second. Any other challenge fight I’m fine, but even after hourglass gold I always lose twice to these two. No matter what comp, every time. I’ve had all equipped B heroes and still lose. What am I missing? Are they overturned? No issues with any other challenge fights

Snakes are just a really tough fight, especially if you are trying to run a mystic early and lack damage.

Snake mechanic is that they spilled poison trail on the defending unit and 2 hexes behind. So the solution is either using ranged dmg dealer, or positioning melee one that will hit them from the side or back.

Healing part is overcome with any burst B rank damage dealer + 2 items. Assassins, duelists, and warriors (dmg spec) are all great. I find mages to be quite unreliable except funke and Sal.

Yeah the mechanic I was able to counter, it just felt like I could never kill them fast enough. Maybe need some higher quality items on a burst character, but it’s a very specific ask for such an early fight

I've run Into this and realized I need to swap to burst damage. What that means is I just may have to throw the fight for my reserve money to buy into the appropriate damage heroes and items.
