What is Rift Level 5?

ByJames Dorn Last Update on

As an experienced Summoners War content creator and endgame player, let me provide an in-depth guide into Rift Level 5 (R5) – the pinnacle of PvE cooperative gameplay.

What Makes R5 the Hardest Raid?

R5 is a giant step up from all previous Rift Raid levels – the boss has over 130k HP/3000 DEF and unleashes 15-20k AoE assaults that require precisely speed-tuned teams to survive:

  • Multi-hit attacks that apply harmful debuffs
  • Special skills like Bomb Detonation and Anneal necessitate counters
  • One player‘s weak link causes the entire run to fail – wasting 20 precious energy per attempt!

Additionally, the quality of rune rewards jump significantly:

  • Double the 6-star legendary rune drop rate (over 20-25% chance per run)
  • Exclusive access to Homunculus S rank crafting materials
  • G1+ weekly clear ranking rewards including 800 crystals and 4-5 star Rainbowmon!

Simply put, the challenge and rewards make R5 a must-do for serious players.

Core Team Building Guidelines

While many monsters work, adhere to these archetypes for smooth runs:

Frontline

  1. Healer/Cleanser – Colleen, Anavel
  2. Tank/Damage – Dias, Darion, Xiong Fei
  3. Tank/Buffer – Bastet, Mei Hou Wang

Backline

  1. Healer/Cleanser – Konamiya, Lisa
  2. Damage Dealer – Kro, Brandia
  3. Damage Dealer – Hwa, Stella

Prioritize:

  • High Defense, HP – Crucial on front line units
  • Speed – 170-220 is ideal for desired turn order
  • Accuracy – Min 55% on key debuffers
  • Offsets like Fight, Determination, Enhance for team stat boosts

Here‘s a sample team with their roles & skills:

MonsterSetsRole & Skills to Use
BastetFight/ShieldFrontline tank, leader skill boosts defense. Use S2 shields and S3 buffs.
DiasRevenge/GuardFrontline passive tank. Provides healing and debuffs.
ColleenRevenge/RevengeFrontline healer & attack buff. Use S3 heal/cleanse and ATK buff.
KroRage/BladeBackline nuker, dishes out damage with S3 nuke.
HwaViolent/FocusBackline ATB control DPS. Use S2 to slow boss and reduce ATB.
KonamiyaViolent/EnergyBackline cleanser & healer. Use S3 cleanse frequently.

Tuning Tips for R5 Success

Completing R5 requires meticulous speed tuning and rune optimization:

  • Speed tune 170-220 Spd for desired skill rotation
  • Use backward order tuning (e.g DDs faster than healers)
  • Time buffs before big attacks – Colleen ATK buff before Kro S3 nuke
  • Conserve key heal/cleanse skills for heavy damage phases
  • Focus attack bar reduction and DPS on boss
  • Trial and iterate builds for maximum stats

Follow these guidelines and you‘ll start raking in legendary gems and grinds in no time! Let me know if you have any other R5 questions.
