Tips
Alpha Mark the Brambleback. Position him on the weak side of the enemy so you can get jump resets quickly. 3* Riftbeasts are generally bait except for frontline.
Stage 2
Slam items aggressively and play for full win streak with Brambleback items. Murkwolf can hold items.
Stage 3
Aim to get 7 Riftbeast online latest by Stage 3-5. Use free Riftbeast shops to upgrade only instead of rerolling. Finish Bramble / tank items.
Stage 4
Level to 8 and look for Bramble + Brawler or Rakan. Always play Elder Dragon when you hit. Once stable, go 9 for another 5 cost.
Economy plan · Fast 8
- 2-1Level to 4 if you have upgrades and a good item to place on one of those upgrades.
- 2-5Level to 5, unless on 3 loss streak.
- 3-1Level to 6 if on 4+ win streak (scout to see if necessary in high elo) or can stay above 40g.
- 3-2Level to 6, unless you would go below 30g. If you have to stay level 5 due to low gold (rare), then level to 6 on 3-5.
Show full planCollapse
- 3-5Level to 7 if you can stay above 30g, otherwise stay level 6.
- 4-1Level to 7.
- 4-2Level to 8. Roll for desired comp until stable. "Stable" changes depending on rank, items, augments, composition, and patch. Melee carries and tanks get the biggest spike for 2-stars. Usually stable involves 2-star tank or carry and some other supporting 2-stars. Try not to roll below 10g.
- 4-5If you are weak (e.g., have no 2-star 4-costs), consider rolling again to 10g here. If you are stable, save gold to go 9.
- 5-1If you are low HP and haven't 2-starred your carry and tank, roll to 0g. If you have medium to high HP with an upgraded + itemized 4-cost unit and some other upgrades, save gold to go 9.
- 5-2If high HP, consider waiting until 5-5 to go level 9. If medium HP, consider going level 9 if you can roll 20g or wait until 5-5. If low HP and can afford to go 9, do so even if you have almost no gold to roll on 9. If you can't afford to go 9 this game, roll every turn for upgrades.
- 5-5+Level to 9 if possible. From this point onward, look to level to 9. Acknowledge games where level 9 is not possible and roll every turn on 8 to preserve placements.
- 6-2+For max cap games, you can either roll on 9 or level to 10. If you are itemizing a 5-cost carry and it is 1-starred, roll on 9. If you have all your main itemized units upgraded, level to 10.
