Raids FAQ

Hi summoners/kabam,
Cautious Raids start in a couple of days. Do we have a FAQ for Raids so the community can ask questions?
Would be great to check them over and I have a few questions which are below:-
As there are 10 champs with 3 lanes, 3 champs per group. Can the 3 tactician have the same champ?
Regards to the rewards:- are all the rewards for the whole alliance?
It says “Boss clear” - is that per boss? Or is it based on each boss defeated? To get the 7.5k 7* shards.
Thanks,
Tinnr

If all 3 tacticians wanted to bring hulkling, they could. No reason to lock champions out just because someone else brought them, that would be very bad design.

And here was some info I provided earlier, example below is for just BG1.
As far as cost, if you (as individual) join a RAIDS BG that week, it costs you the full 180 tokens that were provided to each of us for free as a “startup gift”. Subsequent weeks will have to earn more tickets by 100% exploring of Maps 6/7/8, or purchase more (like old AQ tickets used to).
So more casual alliances may NOT want to run Raids on ALL of their BG's first time thru here. Gives rest of alliance a chance to Observe how Raids goes, without draining everyone of their tickets for next time.
** METHOD FOR RAID SETUP **
Note, each BG can be setup do *either* the normal style AQ Map, *or* the new RAID Map, independent of your other BG's.
1st pic showing setup still as normal AQ maps.
To setup Raid instead, click on the RED “RAID” button under the BG #. (it is a Button, not just informational text).
Then, in the Map select, you can use the usual Left / Right Arrows to switch between “no raid” and the “raid” map.
Then (as normal) click back into an empty area of screen, and the setting for Raid Map will be active for that BG. Still have to press “SAVE”.
Note, to switch back from a Raid setting to normal AQ setting for that BG, go back in, and use the Left / Right arrows to switch away from Raid Map back to NO-MAP.
Then click off that, then the week-long Raid banner for that BG will go away, back to the normal 7-day selectors for that BG (which you can then go back in and use Arrows to select from Map-1 thru Map-8, as normal).
3 Main Paths, with 3 Sub-Paths each.
Each Sub-Path designed specifically for 1 of the 3 different ROLES.
You choose your Role and bring a matching Champ that fits your selected Role (I assume you’ll be able to filter champs by a Role Tag), and then take that corresponding Sub-Path.
Tactician — Vanguard — Assault
(repeat for each of the 3 Main Paths) = 9 players.
Then last person can be in reserve, might choose to wait and see if any particular Role needs help.
**QUESTION**
Not sure if the “Charges” that each Role provides to other Roles (by completing “Missions” during fights) will apply to people who have not yet joined prior to those Charges being earned ??
Although I assume (?) that “Charges” earned along one Main Path (between their 3 members) probably carry across to people of same Role no matter which Main Path they are on (that is not very clear, or are they only among the 3 players on same Main Path).
Note on 10th person (reserve). If other 9 ppl already explore 100% without needing a 10th, don't forget to have 10th join in before end of week or else they probably don’t get their rewards (unless they really want to forfeit their individual map rewards that week for being able to save their 180 Tickets for another month).
3x along each of the 3 Main Paths (after each of the Mini-Bosses along each Path).
(very light purple squares on the full Raid Map graphic earlier)
**Question**
Not very clear whether EVERYONE along that Path gets to claim each of that path's Treasures as they travel by it (I would assume so). So everyone would be able to get 3 Treasures, including any late-coming Reserve 10th person ??
It says “not shared between everyone” on announcement text, but I assume that just means “not shared with others who were on different MAIN-Paths”. As in not shared from one successful group of 3 with another group of 3 who never made it past some of their own Mini-Bosses.
Or whether it is like a normal Quest Treasure, which (although those are Solo Content) is claimed once and then goes away. ie, does only the first person to reach each Treasure get to claim it (as in, the person who defeats that Mini-Boss beforehand) ?? (I imagine that would cause some major problems within alliance).
In that case, I’m not sure how the damage threshold will work from your question. That also throws a large disadvantage to several champs who use energy damage against the end boss that aren’t present against the other ones.
Here’s a map too, just to complete the set
Our bosses have more than 100% health by 1 HP.
This might mess up a perfect 10 fight kill
