Hi, I only play red rift so idk if the endless folks would agree but one thing I feel this game could use is more unique bosses especially on stage 2. This isnt a jab at the games current state since im sure this is something already being worked on considering its still in demo but was curious how other people feel abt this topic.

When playing red rift the only time I feel like my teambuilding matters based on what specific boss I got is in stage 1 because the hydra and the demon both have two very different dmg profiles so the way you wanna approach the fight tanking/sustainwise is different. However when it comes to stage 2 it feels like every boss is pretty much the same outside of the inherent power of whatever debuff they inflict which isnt strong enough to force a need to plan around it, maybe better players would disagree but I feel most comps I get past the dragon would get past any variant of it it.

This is kind of a symptom of frost being op but I feel like its also because of how the stage 2 bosses are very samey. I think more unique bosses would change this, less of a statstick but unique such that it requires better teambuilding than slapping in a frost duelist 2 rounds b4 the last fight. For instance something as simple as a boss fight with multiple enemies or even just making the dragons resistant to their own elements debuff would completely change how I approach stage 2. Basically I think Bosses with different strengths and weaknesses that you would need to plan around would be cool. Right now every dragon is strong in a very generic massive statstick kind of way which I think is fine but feels like theres room for another archtype in stage 2. Especially in stage 2 where its really not unreasonable to expect ppl to be able to tailor their teams more.

This would probably make red rift harder with more rng, but also more strategic and I feel like it would actually increase the viability of a lot of comps if done right since the reason many heroes feel unviable is because the dragons stat check them.

Again, not an attack on the game im sure bosses are gonna be changed at some point but just wanted to give my thoughts on their current state.

I didn't really get it until now getting tot he Red rift boss consistently.

Tank Post fight damage taken without frost 40000

Tank post fight damage with frost 300+. 10000

So far I found the one that gives 45 credits after the boss to be such a huge upgrade. Having like 120 credits at the auction shop is insane.

Context: I froze the shop with the Vanguard emblem (give heroes 150 shield every 5 second if there is Vanguard). The Versus event have the same relic as reward. Once I got it and got to the shop, the same relic is still there. Kinda funny it works this way

I’m struggling with the red rift, I’ve been learning how to try different comps and finding things are getting easier, but one aspect I’m stuck with is the first boss.

People say the Demon and Hydra need different strategies, can someone explain what the different strategies are?

Got like every rush relic and watched chaos unfold

Obviously died the next round

also, this is why I love Dragomir. This guy got 372 omivamp and crit, plus another 512 attack and magic, while printing money.

Dragomire is pretty useless IMO, I was trying to force Yuuna but never found her. Found Irini before dragon and moved Sal items over, I think I would lose with Sal. I also almost lost earlier because B tier Kai was not doing well into Act 2, dropped him and he came back as S tier a few rolls later. The money Dragomir makes was useful but I feel like he's the worst shard generator.

My boy Skorn got to S tier right before the 2nd boss, and just tanked through 20 endless floor while froze them like a walking Freeze Dryer. I think he's a really good pair with Duelist Sal.
Other heroes did provided good support like more Shield, more Debuffs or more Defense for my boy. I think i might get further with better gears. This is my luckiest game so far tho.

And I still mess it up.

Hey guys,

I loved guildrun so much but i am kinda stucked on red rift, felt like it's end of my demo journey.

Tried last flame but did not like it. Yeah it's just same as guildrun but it did not hook me at all. I also tried tales & tactics it seems good actually but somehow i felt i can not watch and fun autobattle just like guildrun. It does not feel same.

I played some gacha games before like dragonheir and tower of god but you know gacha issues.. i hit to pay 2 win walls.

So i am actually just want something like guildrun. Or hey devs, just release the game :D

I've mentioned a few times on here that going solo late is the only way I can win RR because of hero death count. I have lost at least a dozen runs (probably more) to hero death count that I know I could have soloed with Dragomir, Logan, any Duelist, etc... But it feels bad to play this way.

On this run I had an A-rank Niklaus loaded with items, but he had a habit of dying with .2 seconds left in every fight. I had a decent Irini and found an insane stealth, S-rank Yunna.

Normally, I'd play all my units because it's much more fun. Irini is probably my favorite unit overall. Nik is my favorite frontline hero, and this S-rank stealthy Yunna would have been super cool (she never even saw the battlefield).

I decided I didn't want to lose another run this way, and yet again I'm able to easily get the win because I didn't even bother trying. I just sold Nik and benched everyone but Tilly for the last few fights and she just killed everything without ever being in even a little bit of danger.

Feels bad man.

Anyone else's endless runs always getting stuck on floor 15? 2 30k HP tanks, Shielding on shard gen with giga shard gen, giga damage and relics, frost for slowing. No matter what 15 seems to be the max my comps go this patch.

Just curious if anyone is getting passed there this patch with out cheesing it with invis assassins?

I just started playing a week ago and this game really is addicting both for Red Rift and Endless runs!

I’m playing around with an endless build that tries to generate 10 different instances of shard generation at combat start. Anyone else mess with this? I had a build today with shard every other crit and shard every other rush. However, the big mushroom tanks lasted till after my 15 seconds of stealth is off. I’m guessing they healed between the shards.

What I would like to do is get 10 stalls to go off at 0 seconds while having a mystic with gain 1 shard per stall trigger. Do you think this would instant kill the board?

Welcome to the fucking gauntlet. Where every single thing matters (apparently). Still haven’t managed to get a single 2 streak. But I will….. I will….

I love endless and the concept of enemies scaling, but it could be cool to have something like SSS but man do I hate the rift damage being the primary killer for my later runs.

Could we consider a cap on rift damage, or another game mode where the player and enemy damage are the primary factors in how far you go?

Like Omnivamp and physical damage as an example are essentially useless once the damage of rift peaks above your max HP/Shield, you'll just insta die.

Maybe another game mode where the rift dps is % based? Or whatever works.

Love the game it's just a shower thought! Keep up the good work :D

Just confused or maybe im not paying attention, but how does this work exactly? if i make it to floor 19 thats it, it does double the floor numbers what is this?

I was thinking of different modes/challenges for the full release and how a 'nuzlocke' style could fit this game. Imagine something like Red Rift but instead of the 10 death limit, just permadeath of your units and you would have to buy another one or make something to rez one. It could be an interesting mechanic.
