Rift Battle is a competitive game mode where players compete head-to-head against another player's collection. You'll need to prepare a "base" of defensive Fighters, and then attack other player's bases to earn points and increase your Rift Rating. At the end of a season, all players will receive rare rewards, depending on their final rank which is determined by their overall performance reflected through their Rift Rating for that week.
How it Works[]
Rift Battles are available for players that have reached player level 25. To participate in Rift Battles, you will have to setup your defenders found in your base. Make sure to check the modifiers for the best tactical advantage!
MATCHMAKING
In Rift Battles, players are presented with a list of three possible opponents to fight. Tap on any of these players to get some information on their Boss Node, and you can take a peek at their Player Profile. List of opponents can be refreshed for FREE once every two hours or for 25 Theonite.
At the start of a Rift Season, players will now be matched by Rift Rating and their Player Level. However, as you start to win matches, the Player Level matchmaking becomes weaker and you will start to be matched more exclusively on Rift Rating.
To enter matchmaking, players will need to spend one Rift Ticket. Three free Green Rift Tickets can be claimed daily and can be hold up to six at a time. Defeating all three opponents in a player's list will grant a free Green Rift Ticket. If no free Rift Tickets are available, then players will be prompted to use paid Red Rift Tickets which can be purchased for 50 Theonite.
RIFT BASES
Players will need to setup their own bases with defenders prior to participating in a Rift Battle. To win, players will need to defeat every node on the enemy's base. There are six nodes in total, each with their own unique modifiers. While attacking, players will only be able to use one of each fighter. Make sure to plan out your attacks carefully and not use up your best fighters too early in the battle!
Players will only get two chances to win a Rift Battle. If players lose any two fights on a single Rift defense base, their Rift Battle will end in defeat. Choose your battles carefully.
BATTLES AND SCORING
Each time a player clears a node on an opponent's Rift Base, they are given a score based on their performance. See the table below for information on how points are calculated:
DEFENSE HISTORY // REVENGE BATTLES
Defense History displays information of opponents that challenges the player's base, including their Rift Score and how much Rift Rating they gain or lost. Players can tap DETAILS to see exactly how the opponent fared against their base and what team compositions are used on each fight. Only the ten most recent battles are stored.
Players can choose REVENGE to fight an opponent in their history by spending a Rift Ticket and challenge their base. The player who successfully defeats the entire map and earns a higher final Rift Score will be declared the winner, earning them more points. Successful revenge battles will grant a huge boost in Rift Rating while unsuccessful revenge battles will cost the player more Rift Rating. Only one attempt is given for each Revenge Battle. Win or Lose, a player cannot Revenge the same fight again.
WIN STREAKS
After winning several Rift Battles in a row, players will accumulate win streaks which grants bonus stats on their fighters and increase the amount of Rift Coins they get from each battle.
Streaks will end if the player fails to defeat an opponent's Rift Base or after 24 hours have passed since the last successful Rift Battle.
RIFT RATING
Rift Rating is used to match players against each other with similar ratings. A Rift Rating is gained when winning and lost when losing. At the end of each season, Rift Ratings are reset and everyone will be granted a Rank and rewards based on their Rift Rating.
Rift Maps[]
Rift Battles have several Rift Base layouts, each with a unique set of Modifiers on every node. Every season (weekly), the Rift Map configuration will change. This will give players a huge incentive to update their defense layouts regularly to take advantage of devilish Modifier combos. The Boss Nodes for each map will be elementally themed, but the entire map will change every week.
The modifiers for rift battles change every week in the following order:
