What is combat power, and where do I see mine?
It is the wave number. The developer: your power is however many waves you have beaten. The explanation also appears when you hover the Power Value on a boss panel. So a boss above your best wave needs better gear, not more waiting; the developer says full epic or legendary gear can win a 40k fight at 20k power.
Do Rift bosses get harder each time?
Yes: boss strength grows with each successful challenge. The Fairy Dragon is described the same way in the demo launch post. Farm a boss while you clear it comfortably, then move on.
What is the Hidden Dungeon?
A rare event players have started to see: one report describes a rare, minute-long battle that appears by chance; the player could not see what it paid. We will add detail once a second source confirms how it works.
Legend of Defenders Rift Raid questions
How do I unlock the Rift Gate in Legend of Defenders?
Reach wave 80 and pay 10,000 gold. Rift Raid then lets you fight boss after boss for equipment.
What does recommended power mean in the Rift?
Combat power is the wave number: the developer says your power equals the highest wave you have beaten, so a 30,000-power boss is about as hard as wave 30,000.
Which Rift boss drops legendary gear?
The developer says that once you can beat the Goblin boss in the Rift, you get more and more legendary equipment. The Red Dragon drops a rare chest and the Fairy Dragon fabled gear.
Do Rift bosses get stronger?
Yes. Boss strength grows with each successful challenge, so the same boss is harder the next time.
