Greater Rifts provides players with the maximum amount of challenge found in changing circumstances, difficult monsters and providing opportunities to overcome along with balance and diverse styles of gameplay are factored in.
Variety keeps Greater Rifts fresh and compelling over time. Each one is intended to be a little bit different, even if it’s something small like giving your character stalagmites to break for an extra speed boost.
