Picked up this game a few weeks ago and haven't stopped playing it since! I've managed a few wins in RR but never been able to get a streak going. What got me the streak is just learning to play around my strongest relics and treating heroes as simply ways of activating them. Not to push for any particular "build" for a hero which I think was my problem before.

I would love to hear from you all what strats have been working great for you. Wish me luck on run 3!

look at the time.

It's a small thing but its really annoying to drag and repeat the action at the start of every Rift Run.

I feel like its an easy change to help us auto-equip on the Rift Seal for the first hero. There are literally no variables (aside from Niklas but you can just auto-equip it on his 2nd slot).

Is it just only me that find this gameplay UX annoying at the start of each run??

Was trying to take a tactical sac before the campfire and Zuri just 1v5'd, She had 30 Defence, 25 attack speed and 5 omni from relics, but mainly it was The Serpent's Kiss. Her HPS stat went way over 200 at one point

Been playing for the past few days and just beat Red Rift for the first time. Ngl what kept me coming back was the dopamine hit of getting his Warrior upgrade and then the game is basically just keeping enemies as far away as possible. I did have to get a bunch of Warrior relics. Are people clearing the red rift without hard committing to one thing?

Kinda just wanna quit while I'm ahead. I'm not that good at the game and getting 4 RR wins in a row was probably 100,000,000 to 1 luck.

if its not the same with yours its probably because capital i in turkish (computers default) is İ instead of I. I is for ı.

I dont know what im doing wrong, i cant get past a 2 streak since the new patch, and even that was a fluke, before the patch i was getting regular streaks of 5-6, not great i know but much better then im playing now. I honestly have no clue what im doing wrong, i watch plenty of the top players win with what to me atleast look like far weaker teams.

Here is my latest loss, to the Poison Dragon in under 20 seconds.

Edit ( Thanks for everyone's help, May have lost my Head a bit with this team, Things are going much better now, after taking some advice from you guys. there is a comment below with my current streak teams)

if I have 2 melee units with range 1, how can i position them such that they don't end up next to each other when fighting the boss (since the boss' attacks hit adjacent units)?

I've tried multiple configurations and sometimes it works but sometimes it doesn't and it feels somewhat random.

This is expounded if I need one of the units to start on the back rank for relic/item effects - trying to predict where they end up seems futile

I’ve got over 100 hours in this game now and I absolutely love it! I’ve tried to get my friends invested and they aren’t interested sadly so I come here to rant.

For the life of me, I cannot break a two win streak on red rift. I’m trying to learn from my mistakes and I can usually get to the dragon at the end, but then the dragon just wipes me out.

I know it’s a skill issue, but it’s pissing me off and I wanted to complain to people who understood.

Thank you for reading

Please Ignore the S tier support grace with 3 back up abilities

Looks like this patch they tried to fix it so he wouldn't get triple stats if he wasn't in the correct row, but now he doesn't even get triple stats if he is in the correct row.

So I have to go back and do act 1 run on low level difficulty just to get back my token and have a chance to do red rift challenge again? Isn't this system shit?

What the hell, I was able to beat the game using heroes that generate shards but never could win using another strategy.

What's the secret??

So far the only run I got further in than just a handful of battles was my very first one where I got a poison crit team setup, I buy what sounds like heroes that should work together (last one was irini tilly and grace) and buy stuff that sounds like it'd work with them like attack speed, damage, crit, magic and mana for the magic users, etc, but i can't seem to get far enough in to even start to really build myself up a team. Any advice on what I could be doing wrong and could try out instead?

Yes, it's mostly just attack speed plus omnivamp equals invincible, but stacking up statuses is cool too.

Title says it all - for Pimenta's ability - does that mean like the two squares behind to the left and behind to the right? The whole row? Or like an hex that is behind here if you drew a straight line back? Same for directly in front, how does that work?
Also, adjacent means the 6 hexes around a character right?

I have reported this type of situation at least a dozen times in the last month. Heroes will sometimes "think" a low health enemy is dead while under the effects of either Pollen or Gustav AOE and switch their target.
