    Getting to Diamond: Moving Pictures

    Hey, look who's back!? That's right. Why was I gone? Well, I fell out of Diamond. Matchup mechanics changed, and much of my velocity was based on my team strength. I could not stay aloft, and so I fell to Gold 2. Can't really write a column about getting to Diamond if I can't get there myself...

    Getting to Diamond: The Grind

    Its time for a special edition of GtD. The Grind: or, how I go through my Rift week. This is just a look at how I prepare for and work through a Rift battle from beginning to end. If I have time, I will give you a play-by-play review of the entire battle. I fought twice on Monday, and I present...

    Bug - Normal Accursed Gold

    So I do not have a screenshot that can demonstrate this bug. You only have my word as a player that something happened here, and maybe you ca duplicate this bug. I completed Accursed Experiments this morning, and the full prize basket was given to me. Last night I was selling extra Filia moves...

    Getting to Diamond: Six of One...

    Let's continue with our focus on Defense. We have two main defensive strategies to delve into, and before we break them down there is one important caveat that must be made clear: Health or Time. Pick *one* per node. Let me illustrate this point with my own Rift map. The first duo node to the...

    Getting to Diamond: Defense Mechanism

    Defense is a tricky thing in Rifts. Part of the problem stems for the fact that you do not (and cannot) receive feedback on the relative merits of one configuration versus another. There is no algorithm that returns a single numeric representation of your defensive velocity that updates as you...

    Getting to Diamond: You

    This is a long post: maybe grab a refreshing beverage because we might be here for a while, OK? Got one? Good. I want to get back to the idea of *energy* as the theoretical measure of your Rift team capability at any moment. It's not a real number, but it is related to your real Rift score as...

    Getting to Diamond: Counting to Ten

    You need ten fighters to beat a Rift map. Ten. Ten solid, capable carries with a developed moveset and a killer finishing combo. Ten fighters that you are comfortable driving against all manner of opponents. Ten. Let's get some obvious things out of the way here. We are talking about Diamond...

    Getting to Diamond: Power Level

    So, here we are. Take a quick look at your Rift score. Take a look at your level. Now, forget them. They don't matter. One of the first mistakes we make as players is to put too much emphasis on numbers. Your level is simply a pedometer counting the steps of your journey from when you first...

    Getting to Diamond: A geological survey of the Rift

    There's gold in the Rift - a veritable mountain of the stuff. Silver, too. But, that's not what draws people here. No. People want diamonds. And so they set out, with a bounce in their step and a song in their hearts, on this quest for getting Diamonds from the Rift. I am Brother Null, and I...

    Other Rift Battle Season Review

    This might be an easy win for you. I am always left trying to remember how my Rift season went. With a little data collection, I could review my battles on my own time. Of course, if you have records of the Rift season, you could just slap this information into the rewards email for everybody...

    Fights Meow, GI Jazz, and the cost of retreat

    It happens all the time: a player has GI Jazz on the ropes and then his SA kicks in. He gains five stacks of Heal and three stacks of Armor. Buoyed by this respite from the furious pummeling he had just received, his first move is to...tag out? Now, as that player I guess I do not mind. But GI...

    Bug - Crash Crash on swipe

    Dev team, I have noticed that my iPad Air (first gen) running iOS 12.0 has a problem with app crashes. I go to a Prize Fight, I pick one out. I click on TEAM, and start to swipe through the available characters. I stare blankly at my desktop wallpaper for a moment, then I restart the app. I...

    Fights Squiggly Daily

    So, I have been playing for a while now. I am not brand new to Master level daily fights. I finish them all, save two. One I acknowledge is on me. But the Squiggly daily fight is crazy hard; harder then every other daily fight at Master. It feels grossly unbalanced in comparison to the others...
