Welcome to Arcade Games Raids!
With this update to Raids, we’re looking to even out difficulty across bosses and add a specific new threat to each of them. Overall, paths should feel more consistent instead of one being much harder than the rest. We’re also aiming to show some love to Champs who rely on Damage Over Time (DOT) effects via new boosts!
Updated Rewards:
- A Valiant Loot Drop has been added to the selector after each Boss with much more valuable average rewards.
Updated Ranked Rewards - If the rewards are not posted they remain unchanged.
Map Changes:
Missions will no longer be paired with Bosses, they will now be paired instead with fights on a path. This is done with the intent of having each path boss have each Mission on them at least once. The change to the actual map will be as follows:
Boss 1 of each path will now have Bundle of Basics as the mission, and Suppression as the Penance.
Boss 2 of each path will now have Thanos Sayeth as the mission and Power Gain as the Penance.
Boss 3 of each path will now have Pure Punishment as the mission and Inexorable as the Penance."
New Bosses!
New Path Bosses:
- Medusa
- Thor Ragnarok
- Guardian
New Final Boss:
- Modok
New Missions
M.O.D.O.K’s Mindgames
Modok will call out a random game action of Whiff 3 Attacks, Knockdown the Defender while not Stunned, or Hit into Block 5 times. After the called-out action is completed, gain Raid Fervor. At 50 Raid Fervor, complete the Mission and gain a Role Charge.
RAIDS - Mission - Bundle of Basics
At the Start of the fight, a random prompt of strike the Defender with 4 Medium Attacks, or 5 Light Attacks will be chosen. Each time this is done successfully, gain Raid Fervor, and reroll for a prompt. At 50 Raid Fervor, complete the Mission and gain a Role Charge.
New Mechanics:
Raid PenanceDefenders now Punish the Attacker or get more powerful if a prompt/mission is not completed fast enough.These will pair along paths in the same format that Missions now do.
RAIDS - Penance - Power Gain
At the start of the fight a 30 second Penance Timer with 10 Penance Charges begins. This timer is paused during Special Attacks and restarts as soon as it expires. When the timer expires, the Defender gains 10% of a Bar of Power. Each Penance Charge increases the Power Gain by an additional 10% of a Bar of Power. Penance Charges are removed each time a prompt from a RAIDS - Mission is completed.
RAIDS - Penance - Unblockable
At the start of the fight a 30 second Penance Timer with 10 Penance Charges begins. This timer is paused during Special Attacks and restarts as soon as it expires. When the timer expires, the Defender gains a 5 second Unblockable Passive. Each Penance Charge increases the duration by 1 second. Penance Charges are removed each time a prompt from a RAIDS - Mission is completed.
RAIDS - Penance - Inexorable
At the start of the fight a 30 second Penance Timer with 10 Penance Charges begins. This timer is paused during Special Attacks and restarts as soon as it expires. When the timer expires, the Defender gains a 5% Inexorable Passive for 10 seconds. Each Penance Charge increases the potency by an additional flat 5%. Penance Charges are removed each time a prompt from a RAIDS - Mission is completed.
RAIDS - Penance - Suppression
At the start of the fight a 30 second Penance Timer with 10 Penance Charges begins. This timer is paused during Special Attacks and restarts as soon as it expires. When the timer expires, inflict a 10% Suppression Passive for 10 seconds. Each Penance Charge increases the Suppression potency by 10%. Penance Charges are removed each time a prompt from a RAIDS - Mission is completed.
Raid Boon
Attackers can now gain Bonus RPG effects by gaining Role Force.
RAIDS - Boon - Undermine
When the Attacker gains Role Force, they gain a 10-second Undermine Passive.
