How do individual charges work for nightmare raid work?

Can relevant person in charge of Raid enlighten me how the charges work for nightmare raid? My mates and me and different opinion.

I told them it start with assault mate which have the advantage to give damages to defender n at the same time give charges to Vanguard’s mate… then to Tactician.

The other story is each mate can create its own charges this anyone can start the engagement without the 15 charges!

Your advice is deeply appreciated, thank you.

You only need a single charge to do damage in raids. Beyond your own 1 charge, the only charges that matter for damage are the other 2 categories. You don't have to start with anyone for damage as the first fight, all roles get 1 charge. There's also a long-standing bug where all roles get a charge every other fight. This means that one person can solo the entirety of the lane by simply dropping the team revives we get for free every other fight and only fighting when they have the charge.

Thanks Pikolu… does it meant Ive to sacrifice revives to get personal charges to increase damages to defender?

Then what Kabam had emphasized the charges is given by assault first is totally wrong, correct? ( because of the bug)

Assault first was only a suggestion when raids first came out. You can start with anyone and as long as the next person has at least 1 charge for their role, then they are good to go. No need for any order after that.

I did trial engagement without charges.. and the damage of the defense is not high compared when I have at least 10 charges on previous dendender… Will take on the same defense once I have higher charges to tell u the outcome. Thanks again for your help.

I thought this, but sometimes I would be able to deal the increased damage even when my charge was not present

That's because you get 1 every other fight at the start of the fight. It won't show it before, but that is advanced stuff I don't recommend to those who don't understand how the system works.

I did make a video showcasing how to go about this. The first 2 small revives were to see when I was getting the charges to make sure I was on cycle and I would full revive everytime I would have a charge. Then I was still testing to make sure I didn't have a charge, but this was 9 months ago, if I'm doing that strategy, I just let myself die immediately on the fights I don't get charges.
