Raids — Anime Card Duels Wiki

What it is

A raid boss has one HP bar for the whole server. Everyone who fights him brings it down. A new boss appears on a fixed clock, the same in every server. Two raids are live:

Dracula Raid - Dracula in Burning London. He dodges some attacks with Mist Form, and his Blood Curse makes your cards bleed at the start of the fight. Anti Magic and burn immunity stop the curse.
Destroyer Cat Raid - the Destroyer Cat and his two guards, Red Roku and Green Kai, in the Destroyer Tournament. Every third boss turn they hit harder.

The two raids run on separate clocks and never appear at the same moment. Times and full rules are on the Dracula Raid and Destroyer Cat Raid pages.

How to unlock it

Raids are open to everyone. Go to the Raids room in the lobby and walk into the Raids portal. It opens the RAID PICKER: every raid, its status, its HP, its timer and a GO button. Both raids are also in the Teleport menu.

A banner tells the whole server when a raid boss spawns. You can turn the banner off in Settings > Display > Raid & World Boss Pop-ups.

What you get

Raid currency from every fight, paid by the damage you deal: Blood Gems from Dracula, Destruction Orbs from the Destroyer Cat.
Damage milestones - your damage on the boss fills a bar with guaranteed rewards along the way.
Kill rewards - when the boss falls, everyone who fought him is rewarded. To roll his drops you need to have dealt enough of his team’s HP (the raid window says how much).
MVP - the player with the most damage gets an extra reward and better rare chances.
Rare drops - each raid boss can drop his own card, with a pity counter you can see in the DROPS tab. The Destroyer Cat can also drop the GOD OF DESTRUCTION title and the Dragon Realm Potion, and his kills count toward the Dragon Pearl.

Every reward pays once per boss for you. Hopping to another server does not pay you twice.

The Raid Shop

The Raid Master at the counter in the Raids room runs the RAID SHOP. It has a tab for each raid currency and restocks every 12 hours, the same moment for everyone. It sells instant rolls, Stat Rerolls, Trait Rerolls, potions and realm potions. Buying Red Roku there makes him rollable from packs for good.

Hardcore bosses

Take part in enough Destroyer Cat kills and the Destroyer Cat Hardcore NPC next to him unlocks. Hardcore is a solo fight against your own boss:

He is much stronger and has a huge HP bar just for you. It takes several fights, and his HP stays when you leave.
He comes back a few seconds after you beat him, so there is no waiting.
He pays more per fight and has a lower pity on his rare drops. There is no MVP.

Your progress toward unlocking shows on the NPC and in his window.

Auto Repeat

Auto Repeat Raid (Settings > Automation, or the raid window) fights the boss again after every fight, and starts as soon as the next boss appears. It works for every raid.
Auto Repeat is set per boss: turning it off at one boss leaves it on at the others.
Stop Auto Repeat When Maxed (on by default) pauses it once you have earned everything this boss can give you, and turns it back on for the next one.
DECK n > in the raid window picks which Deck loadout fights. Your active Deck does not change.

What to do first

Fight every raid boss you see, even with a weak team. Your damage still pays raid currency and milestones.
Turn on Auto Repeat Raid and hide the battle so you can roll while it fights.
Spend raid currency in the Raid Shop before each restock.

Common mistakes

Leaving before the kill. The kill rewards and drops go to players who fought him. Stay until he falls.
Skipping the shop. Its stock resets every 12 hours. Unspent stock is lost.
Mixing up raids and the World Boss. The Green Saiyan World Boss is its own mode. See World Boss.
