New Tournaments, Artifact Sets and Blessings rebalance, and more!

We are adding a new Event and new Tournaments, rebalancing some of our Artifact Sets and Blessings, as well as implementing some other updates and fixes. Let’s dive into everything coming to Raid with version 7.21.0:

Android 5.0 support termination

First of all, we are sorry to inform you that the game is no longer available for Android 5.0 devices. To those who played RAID on Android 5.0, we suggest the following:

- Use a device with a later Android version, or update your current devices’ OS

- Use an iOS device, or use Plarium Play on Windows/Mac

Blessings Rebalance

Added new stats for Champions with Level 6 Blessings. Also, the SPD stat bonus on Level 6 was increased by 50% for Legendary Blessings and by 25% for Epic and Rare Blessings.

Champion Lore

This update adds another batch of Champion lore to the game, with more coming in future updates. Among this set are Queen Eva, Jetni the Giant, Candraphon and others! If your favorite isn’t here, stay tuned, they may arrive in a future update!

New Event and Tournament

We’ve added a new type of Event to the game, Soulstone Rush! To get great rewards, you need to earn Event Points by summoning Souls from Soulstones. The amount of Points depends on the Soulstone type.

We’re also introducing a new Soul Chase Tournament! Get as many Souls as you can to earn Points, and earn some great rewards!

Turn Attack Tournaments

We have also added a new type of Tournament for the Gear Dungeons and the Sand Devil’s Necropolis. The rules are simple: clear Stages of a certain Dungeon in as few turns as possible. The higher the Stage and the fewer turns you take to complete it, the more Tournament Points you earn.

The minimum possible number of turns is different in each Dungeon: 1 turn in the Spider’s Den and the Sand Devil’s Necropolis, and 3 turns in the Dragon’s Lair, the Fire Knight’s Castle, and the Ice Golem’s Peak.

The maximum possible number of turns for a battle is 1500.

Note that all turns count: both your Champions’ turns and your enemies’ turns.

Gold Medal Chest

Now, after upgrading all Affinity Bonuses at the Great Hall to Level 10, you'll be able to exchange any new and existing Gold Medals you have for Gold Medal Chests. The price for a Gold Medal Chest is 1000 Gold Medals. You can exchange Gold Medals for a Gold Medal Chest once every 48 hours.

The Chest will drop random Charms, as well as Rank 5 or 6 Epic, Legendary, or Mythical Artifacts from the following Artifact sets:

- Divine Life

- Divine Offense

- Divine Critical Rate

- Divine Speed
