RIFTWAKE

Your first expedition

Start in Jade Sanctum. To clear an expedition, defeat the Rift Lord and survive until 11 minutes and 30 seconds. Your weapons attack automatically. Move to collect XP crystals, choose upgrades as you level up and leave yourself a way out of danger. You can practice on the first map without an account. Sign in to save your progress and compete.

Movement and controls

On desktop, move with WASD or the arrow keys, dash with Space and use your class ability with Q. On touch screens, use the left joystick and the ability buttons on the right. Red and orange warnings show where enemy attacks will land. Move or dash clear before they hit. In settings, you can adjust the sound and reduce screen shake and effects.

Choose your character

Vanguard fights up close, Arcanist controls space with magic, and Warden slows enemies from a distance. Each character has a class ability for expeditions and a separate Q, W, E and R kit for the Arena. Try them in Jade Sanctum to find a style you enjoy.

Weapons, artifacts and evolutions

You can carry up to six weapons and six artifacts. Upgrade weapons as you level up and choose artifacts that complement their attacks. Open Recipes to check the combinations. To evolve, you need a level 8 weapon, its matching artifact at level 3 and an elite chest after three minutes of combat. Some fusions require two fully leveled weapons. Available evolutions and fusions appear on the reward screen.
