Stop Playing Checkers in Guildrun (Positioning Guide)

The number one reason players wipe in Guildrun Red Rift isn't bad shop RNG—it’s misunderstanding the deterministic code behind enemy AI targeting. Most players treat positioning like a standard RPG: put the tank in front, carries in back, and pray. But Guildrun doesn't calculate aggro on "threat." It evaluates a strict, 4-step algorithmic hierarchy every single combat phase. In this complete hex-grid positioning masterclass, we break down the exact math, the 7-tier class priority ladder, and the 3 core formation blueprints you need to clear Red Rift. 📌 CHAPTER TIMESTAMPS: 00:00 - The 20-Hour Positioning Confession 00:46 - The 4-Step Targeting Hierarchy 00:49 - Rule #1: Distance Always Overrides Class 01:55 - Rule #2: The 7-Tier Class Priority Ladder 02:35 - Rule #3: Targeting Health Score Formula [log2(HP) + DEF/100] 03:43 - Rule #4: Hex Saturation & Bodyblock Overflow 04:20 - Threat Exceptions (Plant Monster, Spider, Lizard Diver) 06:16 - Blueprint 01: The 3-Unit Chevron (Default SSS Meta) 07:15 - Blueprint 02: The 2+1 Split (Anti-Clump & Firestorm Counter) 08:12 - Blueprint 03: The Lone Backline Bait (Anti-Hook / Spider) 09:05 - The 4-Rule Quick Checklist & Next Steps 🎮 GAME: Guildrun (PC / Steam) 🎯 DIFFICULTY: Red Rift 🔗 WATCH NEXT: How Character Ranks Are Actually Rolled in the Shop:    • The Trap of the "Guaranteed" A-Rank in Gui...   🎵 Music: Games We Used to Play by | e s c p | https://www.escp.space https://escp-music.bandcamp.com #Guildrun #GuildrunGuide #Roguelite #StrategyGames #IndieGames #Autobattler
