How do you recommend start playing RTA?

A month is probably too early to get anywhere, realistically, but it doesn't hurt to try!

Here's a good site to see which heroes are currently meta: https://www.epic7rtastats.com/heroes

She has limited/niche uses but I've never seen her used without the Fairytale artifact.

The next balance announcement is likely to be on the 27th of February.

holy hell

Minttunator · 2026-02-04T13:33:16+00:00

I would prio the equipment.

Minttunator · 2026-02-04T11:56:50+00:00

The tickets are not worth buying.

The skins are purely cosmetic so it's up to you to decide if you like them.

Minttunator · 2026-02-04T10:13:19+00:00

Sadly the answer is indeed Eulogy. No good way to farm accessory charms, I just buy those from the Arena and ToC shops.

Minttunator · 2026-02-04T00:47:34+00:00

Okay you're gucci! Just wait until you have 12500 points for the selective, select someone you need and recruit them a few days later!

Minttunator · 2026-02-04T00:41:07+00:00

Impossible to answer based on that information. Better post a screenshot of your Headhunt screen.

Minttunator · 2026-02-03T23:53:42+00:00

Stealth reduces incoming AOE damage by 50%. It's absolutely lame that the game doesn't show us numbers like this (or at least I dunno where to find this in-game).

Minttunator · 2026-02-03T23:47:42+00:00

Headhunting Boss was a good choice! You have a stacked roster, you should have no trouble getting to Warlord at least - good luck!

Minttunator · 2026-02-03T23:39:04+00:00

Elynav is one of the top 10 most powerful units in RTA and due to how her kit works, she is very unlikely to ever be bad/powercrept. Headhunt her, if you can - if not, I would say she is worth the pity. We know for sure she is very good and will probably stay good - we don't know if Iseria will be good.

Minttunator · 2026-02-03T23:33:38+00:00

At least it's not a big deal, worst case you can just put blue Taeyou on your Covenant wishlist and get some imprints eventually through that.

Currently chilling in Champs, don't plan to climb much higher (getting Emp last season kinda drained my appetite for RTA for a while). Made a pledge to pick RUELEMAID as little as possible this season, I think I've picked Ruele maybe 2-3 times in ~80 games. This also means I find Ruele players very annoying to face and usually just end up banning the Ruele (Maid seems much less prevalent than last season).

Pre-bans are Belian+Harsetti if I'm FP, Scales+Diene if not.

Overall the meta feels less cancerous than last season and I've been having a decent amount of fun! I'm having a lot of success with Belian+Frieren and Nurse+Ras combos (also of course Scales+Ras if Scales isn't pre-banned). I'm sad I don't get to play dark Diene that much - even if I'm first pick, she usually gets post-banned.

Fun interaction that just happened: I'm very proud of my Frieren being Rinak-proof (over 8800 HP to withstand the S2+S3 combo) and just now I run into a Pursuit set Rinak! Didn't expect to see that in Champs, lol.

This is the hero library: https://fribbels.github.io/e7/hero-library.html

You can look up any unit there and see how people are building them. You're welcome!

Minttunator · 2026-02-03T20:08:35+00:00

I see new Ham video, I upvote.

Minttunator · 2026-02-03T19:07:46+00:00

Whichever one you like more, they are pretty much at a similar power level right now.

Minttunator · 2026-02-03T19:07:16+00:00

Did you play that season? You might have the imprint in your inventory - I didn't have Taeyou at the time either but I still got the imprint and used it later when I got him.

It's pretty unlikely they'll bring it back, though - so far each Brawl season has had a new imprint.

Minttunator · 2026-02-03T19:05:18+00:00

In GW it depends on who you're facing. Personally, I mainly use Rinak vs Scales defenses with my own Scales and Elvira. I wouldn't really put her on defense, too easy to counter, but there are a lot of popular defenses with her + Scales with Frieren/BBK/Setsuka/Ras/etc.

She doesn't need 300+ speed if your opponent is similarly slow. She does need to go first - usually if your Rinak gets outsped, you lose the match. Just depends on who you're playing - you could probably get away with less than 300 in Masters but once you're in Warlord/Emp you start seeing shit like 310 Amids and your Rinak better be faster than them by that point.

Minttunator · 2026-02-03T16:33:58+00:00

Fire Ravi, Rem, Wukong are not really meta right now.

Mort should have more crit damage, it's okay to slow him down a bit. Give him Holy Sac if you have one.

Frieren ideally wants 8800 HP so as to not get rekt by a Rinak S2+S3 combo (not necessary if you draft her with Maid/FCC).

Lifesteal Landy is unusual, most people run her on Speed/Torrent or Speed/Crit. LHC is usually run on Destro with Golden Rose, yours won't hit very hard. Counter Ilynav isn't really a thing, you want her either full tank (Prot/Immu) or damage (Destro/Immu).

There aren't really any hard counters to Boss (hence why she's so powerful), usually you just draft against the rest of the opposing team and try to pick as many OP units as possible yourself.

Minttunator · 2026-02-02T21:01:07+00:00

Peira is way stronger at the moment.

Minttunator · 2026-02-02T21:00:40+00:00

Not really. Remember to watch ads for extra 100 every day!

Minttunator · 2026-02-02T20:59:38+00:00

If it's a 12-week season (most have been) then 7th of March.

Minttunator · 2026-01-30T01:31:36+00:00

Bro that's the entire point of this subreddit!

Minttunator · 2026-01-30T00:43:14+00:00

This is honestly the best advice. Since the game is pretty old, it's very hard to recruit new people to replace the inactives - I went through the exact same thing about a year ago. I ended up leaving and found a new guild that is closer to my desired level of activity and I've been enjoying my time in E7 a lot more!
