Raids are the endgame PvE loop. You and your team fight waves of elemental enemies in a themed arena, and they're the only reliable source of Fragments — the currency behind Race V4, stat refunds, and some of the strongest upgrades in the game. Want late-game power? Raids aren't optional.
Level 1100 minimum. Head to the Raid Lab in the Green Zone (Second Sea) and buy a Raid Chip for 100,000 Beli. Each chip opens one specific raid island, so pick the element you actually need. Bring a fruit with strong AoE and a sword with mobility — slow single-target kits get eaten alive.
Flame enemies cluster tight — lead with AoE and keep moving to avoid burn ticks. Ice enemies slow you down, so bring something that ignores crowd control and take out the shaman spawns first. Dark has the highest raw damage — stack defense and heal between waves instead of racing the timer. Light, Quake, and String raids have more HP; save your best ultimate for the final boss.
A full four-player crew clears faster and survives the boss more reliably. Solo is viable if your fruit outpaces the DPS check, but it's harder. In a team, assign one person to crowd control, one to healing, and the rest to damage. Solo, prioritize staying alive — kill adds before they pile up, then burn the boss during its vulnerable window. The raid fails if the timer hits zero or your whole team goes down. Communication beats raw level every time.
Each clear drops 250-500 Fragments plus a shot at rare loot. Harder elements pay more. Fragments go toward Race V4 upgrades, stat refunds, and exclusive items. Race V4 is the biggest late-game power spike, so most players farm raids specifically for that. Budget a few hundred fragments per upgrade tier.
Run with a fixed crew on voice chat — coordination cuts clear time in half. Buy several chips at once so you're not running back to the lab between attempts. Spend fragments on Race V4 before cosmetics — power first, drip later. If you keep failing the timer, drop to an easier element until your fruit catches up.
