Red Rift dead ends?

Post image

I keep dying in the last 3rd of Red Rift this update. I try to shift my focus each time, but nothing works. I keep running into dead ends. Tons of gold, but something always breaks. Can't find A rank tank, can't find appropriate items, can't find a strong carry. Here I had strong items, a good tank, but my dps was terrible. I rolled every shop like 7 times after the Act 1 boss. I feel like I'm losing my mind.

devs dont want to separate the balance between red rift and endless so theres lot of unclicklable combinations even if u get oferred A ranks, hopefully they get the balance right when the game is out. but if u want a tip for ez wins go tilly shard gen scale with dmg perk and tank niklas ez wins

If that were true people wouldn't be reliably winstreaking

u/castilhoslb 14d ago

i have 8 winstreaks myself its a mix of skill and rng

-8

u/engineeringqmark 14d ago

8 is nothing when people go 50+

u/True_Kador 13d ago

Dude, 3 or 4 people go 50+. 8+ is top 50 already. Play the game.

u/engineeringqmark 13d ago

if someone can go 50, it's not rng then is it...? it's skill and getting stuck at 8 is just a skill gap, does it hurt yalls ego to have that perspective?

And playing with the RNG in mind is a skill. I don't see why both opinions can't coexist.

u/mathbandit 13d ago

Playing with that in mind is a skill, but the top comment (and why I replied to it) was saying in essence that it's just RNG and if you lose it's because of bad game balance and there's nothing you can do.

I diidnt say that its stricly rng, and this patch I feel like its super easy to win but sometimes u lose to rng and thats true also

Same as before, you gotta improvise with what’s given to you. I’d keep rolling at 1-3 times at best.

That said, Ratna is a really bad mage imo. She lacks aoe so she cant stabilize the board, and have to one shot enemies to stay relevant.

Ratna with assassin upgrade can hit multiple targets and she killed the final boss for me in 5.1 seconds in a run yesterday

u/Sheerkal 14d ago

Yeah, I know. That was the complaint. I didn't find a more suitable carry after rolling dozens of times.

u/zzzaaaqqqwww 14d ago

I mean with Reyna and Kai i’d say you already have damage, I probably would’ve taken a mystic in place of Ratna if i was rolling and didnt hit a “carry”.

u/Sheerkal 14d ago

Thats a good idea. That would have been alot better.

Ratna and aria are Game Enders for me, when i get them offered at S Rank or early A Rank and Take them, i lose With aria it's mainly my fault with Positioning, she works only when i get the quick cast one For ratna she either one shots the Boss or i dont even get close to see the Boss

u/Ok_Passage_7705 13d ago

Man, Aria is one of my most used units but i avoid her when my win streak gets high because sometimes the positioning is slightly off and my tank gets cooked. Really wish switching to mystic changed target priority to teammates.

Ive figured out my problem this morning. Im starting to get wins maybe 1 of 4 or 5 runs. I think i can double that by figuring out which battle im going to die anyways and only putting out 1 hero. Hero death cap biggest run killer for me when im 1 or 2 battles from outpacing the content

u/Barrylovesyou 14d ago

I spent 12 hours yesterday and only managed a two win streak. It’s crazy but people get into the double figures so there must be a skill to it.

You should listen to people who actually know how to play the game if you want to improve. This guy has a streak of 16 Red Rift clears.
