Raid Event Guide

For everyone that was not here for the Loki raid event I am going to do a short write up on what to expect from the raid event so we can all be prepared. All of this information is assuming the event will play out the same as the previous raid event.

-The event starts off with you doing event specific missions, these can drop the normal cards/silver/mastery. There is also a chance you will find a raid boss. When you find one you must fight him at least once in order to activate the raid. Fight mechanics explained a little later. After you fight the raid boss once you have the option to ask you alliance for help. This will randomly select around 8 alliance/team members that can then attack your raid boss as well. It costs less energy to attack someone else's raid boss than your own, so it is best to use a weak attack to activate raid boss then use your energy to help others kill their bosses. You don't get anything if raid boss does not die so it is VERY important you kill as many as possible. Bosses will stay active for differing amounts of time based on their level, the higher the more time they stick around.

-Raid fights use attack energy, every day the raid boss will rotate through Speed/Bruiser/Tactics weaknesses. If you use the correct card type for that day (it will be listed what weakness he has that day) you will do bonus damage plus you will do damage to the secondary life bar. If you drop the secondary bar (which is much smaller) before killing raid boss you get extra rewards so it is a very good idea to use the correct cards whenever possible. Card abilities have no effect for event so use cards with highest base attack. In addition to the card type weaknesses, event specific Raider cards will do ALOT of bonus damage as well as damage to secondary bar no matter what weakness raid boss has that day. THE SPECIAL ASSIGNMENT HAVOC CARD IS ONE OF THESE MAX HIM ASAP FOR EVENT.

-Rewards are based on several things first and foremost how much damage you do. You also get bonuses for activating the boss, doing the most damage to the boss, killing the secondary life bar, and dealing the finishing blow. Actual points awarded varies depending on level of raid boss. Rewards: ISO Shards - Event Points will be given out once a boss is defeated. You get additional rewards for completing the event specific mission chapters. Just as you would for normal mission chapters, if you manage to complete them all before event ends do not worry it will keep looping last chapter so you will still be able to encounter raid bosses.

It should be noted that the developers of the game introduce new raider cards each event. Either a raider event where you have to beat a boss or an alliance war where there are special cards to break down walls. As of now raider cards have always changed for each new event. So it's safe to assume this pattern will continue in the future. Please feel free to post any questions regarding raider events here.
