Update 5.30 Highlights

Update 5.30 Highlights

Hello, everyone!

This month marks Raid’s 3rd Anniversary, and though we had plenty of things prepared for the celebration, the tragic situation in Ukraine forced us to postpone those plans. But fear not, you will still get many of the most important features we prepared, and we’ll add the rest at some point later!

For now, here are the features we’ll be able to release in 5.30: Champion Skins, balance changes for the Clan Shop (including a brand new Artifact Set and the addition of Champion Fragments for Yakarl the Scourge), Saved Team improvements, a small Champion balance patch, and some miscellaneous QoL updates. 

Let’s dive in!

Champion Skins

Champion Skins are a new cosmetic feature, as straightforward as they come in its essence. You’ll be able to change your Champion’s appearance to something new and cool - though still recognizable! - without affecting their Stats. We’re starting with the Arbiter, who’ll get three fresh Skins, but there are more Skins in the works for other Champions as well!

Given that this is a vanity item, many Skins will be limited to special offers, though others will be available through various in-game activities. For example, while the Arbiter’s Jade Serpent and Lumaya’s Prophet will be offers-exclusive, her Darkfallen Skin will be added to the Clan Shop.

Of course, we’re not going to limit this to the Arbiter alone. We’ve already promised a couple of Skins for everyone’s favorite boss-killer, Coldheart, and there are a few others in the works. Let us know if you like the idea, and we’d be happy to make even more Skins in the future!

Clan Shop Changes

Update 5.30 will introduce some balance changes to the Clan Shop as well. We’ll shuffle some items, including Skill Tomes, around the slots, and add two brand new rewards: Champion Fragments for Yakarl the Scourge and Chests containing Killstroke Artifacts.

Yakarl the Scourge is a Legendary Barbarian attacker and, conveniently enough, he will receive a significant buff this very update! You’ll get the same deal here as you have with Yannica - Champion Fragments will be available in specific Clan Shop Slots, and you’ll be able to buy them for Clan Gold. Yakarl won’t replace Yannica either, and both will be available in the Clan Shop at the same time.

The Killstroke Artifact Set will provide your Champions with a +20% CRIT DMG and +5% SPD bonus for every 2 Artifacts equipped. It’s a simple and efficient Set that any damage-dealer will love.

Saved Teams Update

We know many of you guys asked for greater control over Skill Instructions, and we’ll give you just that in the next update. As of 5.30, you’ll be able to set different Skill priorities for the different Rounds of a Battle! That should open up a great deal of flexibility in Campaign Battles, Dungeons, Faction Wars, and Doom Tower. All you have to do is select Rounds 1, 2, or 3 in the Skill Instructions and set up your priorities for each of them.

Double nice! Love the skins, always been a fan of cosmetics in games. Still hope that we  get to have a chance of getting some new avatars from the (clan shop, 3v3 or G5 arena)  or even just purchasing them...

For a game where the looks of the champs are a huge part of the appeal. WHY change it? leave the champ skin out of the game

Make rebalance  for more Champions, for Epics for example...

Lordly Legionary - A2 place also heal reduction 

Rowan A1 - triple hit                                                        

Exemplar - make AOE move..                                       

LadyEtessabookableuptoA2-toA3withalies

Lady Etessa - A1 - bookable up to 50 % ; A2- up to 100,  A3 - with 3 alies                                                      

A2AOEfreeze

Frostbriger - A2 - AOE freeze 

Something Like This....

Overall an excellent looking patch.  A few notes:

  • Ukraine - Everybody who isn't a sociopath fully agrees that the employees should come first, second, and third.  I hope they are all as well as possible considering what is happening.
  • Champ skins - I'm a bit shocked you didn't add this previously but it is a welcome addition.  There are a lot of players like myself who are disgusted by the concept of paying for a little bit more playing time or for RNG but who are willing to spend.  Skins are a great way to do that.  I would suggest that you add it to the raid card or some monthly pack as well.  Might make people slightly more interested.
  • Clan shop - You guys lock out 99.9% of your playerbase from making purchases of a certain tier in a lot of your shops (3v3 is somehow worse than the clan shop which should be impossible).  Stop it.  Just allow people to buy whatever they have saved up for.  Or you can make all of these fragment champs accessible to the entire playerbase by putting them low.  Either would work.  I suspect you are planning on doing neither.  I doubt I'll bother with the gear.  The amount of RNG required to get good gear makes purchasing it a complete no-go for me.
  •  Saved team updates - Keep up the good work!  Team instructions were by far the best thing you've added to the game since I started playing and this refines it!  Keep going!
  • Champion rebalance - For the vast majority of these, we won't have any idea if you've done a good job until people data-mine this and find out what the multipliers actually are.  You could release that info you know, most good games do.  Genshin is run by a secretive, non-communicative, greedy company too but they have the multipliers in game.  Overall looks probably good but we still have no idea.  Yakarl will be semi-playable but unless you give the A3 a massive multiplier, I think most people are just inhaling the copium on him.  Still it is a wait-and-see thing since we have no idea at all if you've done much.

Oh, and about the Arbiter skin:  fix the arena!  You need to quadruple the tiers at the very least, add them all above gold, give them the same bonuses/rewards for the great hall and PvP as Gold 4 (you can give better weekly rewards though), and then remove any matchmaking algorithm except for elo.  People will spread out more naturally, your false roadblocks will stop ruining the progression envisioned by the game designers who created the progress mission (to guide progress like in every other game ever but ruined by your disasterous handling of PvP).  Arena has been broken for 5 months now.  It completely ruins the game for new players and for casual players.  Just stop.  Platinum should be expanded to anybody who reaches the elo required and you could have new rules in place for those who reach it.  Then only drop the Platinum's players' rankings at the end of the ranking period.  Everybody can farm in peace and experiment with teams in peace without the entire game being ruined.  And they could get Arbiter so they could appreciate the skins.

So far a really amazing update.  A big suggestion to add would be to add "chicken" or "food" tags to the champion tag list so we can sort our vault champs out. :)

No thank you. You can leave your rants about Plarium's hatred for their own neighbors, family and coworkers in Ukraine back in whatever holes you drug them out of.

What a great deal of changes we have all been looking for. One of the better updates in a long, long while. 

I think the new Clan Shop gear is going to be nice to have around too, might eventually help me with some arena builds. :)

LOVE skins! Honestly wonder why it took so long. Great way to make revenue. I hope it means in the future we can ease some of the restrictions on how long it takes to get shards/chickens by adding more revenue from skin purchases. I hope to see tons of skins. It's literally one of, if not, Raid's strongest strengths of the game. Besides fun factor.
