Aria Red Rift guide: Flexible caster from start to finish

Aria is a strong early and late carry once she ranks up, but her C-rank damage can force an early sale.

Fiona Red Rift guide: A weak early Mystic with backup value

Fiona is the creator's lowest-rated hero in this patch and is normally worth taking only when she appears already ranked.

Grace Red Rift guide: Premium reserve support

Grace is an exceptional reserve unit whose backup protection is usually more valuable than fielding her.

Gustav Red Rift guide: Shard and mana support flex

Gustav is a highly flexible support whose shard or mana engine can solve an entire team's resource problem.

Hoyoung Red Rift guide: Early kill and shard specialist

Hoyoung is dependable Act 1 damage and income but usually becomes replaceable once he stops securing kills in Act 2.

Kai Red Rift guide: Shield-scaling carry or premier tank

Kai is a best-hero contender whose damage, shielding, and role flexibility let him anchor many different teams.

Niklas Red Rift guide: Item-consuming economy tank

Niklas is an awkward but workable frontline whose item consumption can create early shielding and preserve much of the invested economy.

Pollen Red Rift guide: Premier shielding and healing Mystic

Pollen may be the strongest defensive Mystic after her first cast, but she needs items and time before that protection becomes meaningful.

Ratna Red Rift guide: Rank-dependent all-purpose scaler

Ratna is poor at C rank but becomes an excellent and flexible purchase with any strong B-rank route.

Skorn Red Rift guide: Frost tank that needs support

Skorn is a strong tank whose best route applies Frost and shielding, but he depends on Mystic support and surviving to his first cast.

Zuri Red Rift guide: Best early tank, weak late tank

Zuri may be the best Act 1 tank but should normally be replaced because her durability compares poorly with other Act 2 options.
