rift

This would help new players understand that there are limits, and for late game players, would aid in swapping moves between characters for rift battles. Example:

I never thought I could win, but with catalysts and the right setup i had a shot at taking down players with fully leveled and maxed moves players. On a bad day, even Gamma had trouble with this map on his stream. I have tried to beat this person since the beginning of rift but had always lost...

Some context about my current "rift stats": Gold 2, Rating 1777, Level 62, Total of best 20 fighters FS slightly lower than 160k, over the last 4 weeks my win rate is above 90%. Recently, I'm having troubles to find opponents. Today, had to keep looking for one 4 hours straight and I won't have...

Why not? I feel it's the only way to make it feel less like a chore.

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...

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...

I love the balance of Rift Match pairing now. Win or Lose, but to fight with opponent who have near or close collection makes me try hard and do my best in performing the Rift. Satisfaction bonus if I win at the end. The only issue I have is if you have higher rating and you're paired with...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

I couldn’t find a thread discussing ‘Idol Threat’ variant of Filia. She doesn’t seem all that bad after the 3.1 update buff, aside from the fact that they’re pretty easily played around when she’s your defense character on a node. Trying to possibly level her to use in Rift but don’t want to be...

the parring for rift battles is way to unbalanced I mean why would you put a level 50 against someone who is only 25!?!?

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...

If u use a 3 character team, u obtain the bonus per new character used (750) after that, if u use a one character team, u obtain the same amount of points.

I lost a Rift battle while I was Sleep. And I was about to go to sleep when I saw one was on 1 hour alredy and I ho back fighting to defend my points. So... Is there any way to lock the battles? I know you have to fight them certain time or lose points, but if they start without a warning or my...
