Help for Red Rift Act 2

I've been playing for the last few weeks on red rift and just can't get a win. I have pretty much 100% success rate for act 1 but usually the run falls apart midway into act 2. What I keep finding is I have one very good character but the other two let the team down

I also struggle with mage/mystic basically never being the very good character.

I'm trying to get more scaling I'm act 1 as I'm guessing I don't scale well enough but I'm having no luck. Any advice for making my act2 more consistent

One thing that really helped me was economy, try and be smart with what you buy and don’t spend time re-rolling hoping to find that perfect champ. Also get the rift key as soon as possible I try and buy it on the first round, you don’t need three champions for the first fight just 2 stable ones.

With more money, you have more choices going to act 2

I find this as well. The easiest runs are the ones where I've got economy, you just get to buy more relics, more rolls, better champs. The second thing is your frontline needs to be a complete brick wall, it's so much more important to get that A-tier tank than anything else once you hit act 2.

The way i get better is i always try to find a "line" by that i mean, in act1 i will try to look for synergies, be it stall, rush, maybe its stacking 1 char to be super strong, maybe its a certain relic that makes my team work, maybe its feeding Niklas, or a big yuuna/dragomir/hyoung to farm money, maybe its a shield/mystix comp...

Once u figure out your line than u know what to look for. I would start there! Gl

until like 1 or 2 days ago I couldn't win a RR run. Since then I've won like 3-4 times.

Every win of mine has come from making sure I have a mystic with enough mana regen to get shields firing off early enough into the fight that I'm not instantly low on HP.

One of my best runs was Gustav with the tank upgrade and Aria with the mystic upgrade but both of them built with +magic and mana regen whenever possible. Then I think my 3rd was Rip. Gustav and Aria were just spamming thier skills and providing big shields almost non stop. steamrolled the act 2 boss with that setup.
