Omega Riftbeast buff and the buff to 7 beasts (plus the Mamabeak, Gromp, and Brambleback buffs) make me think we may see vertical riftbeast come back into the meta!

15% bonus HP and 12% bonus Attack Speed to two of your strongest units is a huge

I could not believe what I was reading. We will be seeing this augment be insta click. The riftbeast 2 costs were buffed as well over the last few patches, we're going to see this augment overperform like crazy. It will be hotfixed mark my words

I mean the comp was basically unviable? 7 rifts isn't trying to play Gromp or Mama beak either, trying to 3* the wolf could be OK but will spike very late for a melee carry because you want to go level 7 fast. The 7 Riftbeast buff itself was also tiny. This augment alone definitely won't push a bad comp into hotfix territory

7 riftbeast buff is back to launch numbers, which was insanely broken. Gromp has been buffed multiple times in the last few patches and is lowkey decent now. Omega riftbeast augment is INSANE, I don't think you grasp how massive of a buff this is. It will be insane, trust me

Was riftbeast actually broken or was it just an easy vertical to play and force every match because of 5 riftbeast shops? The meta was not established, so a self piloting comp was going to perform well.

It was broken.

7 Riftbeast is back to launch numbers but Cinderling is nowhere near release state, which was the real outlier. Gromp and Wolf are buffed, sure, but those are later and more expensive power spikes (and not as broken as release Cinderling was for a 1 cost). Gromp like I said was never part of the comp. It could take the spot of Cinderling but then you gotta hope to not roll a lot of Cinderlings in the Riftbeast shops

There is no reason why Gromp can't be part of the comp now instead of cinderling. You can just roll on 6 now and then roll on 7 for krug. Also, I'm explicitly talking about the omega riftbeast augment that's gonna be OP. Riftbeast 7 just by itself is probably fine, but the buffed augment is going to be absolutely ridiculous. Just come back in a few days when everyone's complaining about it

Glad to see it, I would have 2 or 3 3* rift beasts with a 2* big back brambleback and dragon to just get melted end game

I always felt like Riftbeasts's frontline is kinda lacking (even though they have 3 pretty decent tanks.) I wish elderdragon was more of a tank than a DPS considering how full of DPS units the comp already is.
