Hello, Raiders!

Since the publication of the latest Digest we have received your feedback on our new game mode - Siege. We are currently collecting Siege-related data and already seeking ways to improve your gaming experience. And while your Champions restore their strength after tough Siege fights and man the barricades of their Fortress, we invite you to delve into today’s issue of RAID Digest!

Hydra Clash Milestone Rewards

We mentioned a while back that we plan to reward all players who performed well in Hydra Clash, even if they finished being ranked 4th or 5th. Today, we’re excited to mention the newly implemented Hydra Clash Milestone Rewards, which will be added to the game with the upcoming 9.10 release and will include the highly sought-after Protection and Stoneskin Accessories. To learn more about how the system works, check out Highlights 9.10.

Siege Defense Teams and Gear

We received quite a few questions about what happens with your Champions in Siege Defense teams during Battle Phase and whether these Champions can have their gear swapped or not. Once Matchmaking begins (and during the entire Battle Phase), your Siege Defense remains locked, meaning it can't be altered. However, you can still upgrade, ascend, and equip new gear to the Champions in your Siege Defense teams for other content. In short, any changes you make during the Battle Phase to your Siege Defense teams Champions won’t affect your Fortress Defense, the battle capabilities of these Champions will remain as they were at the start of the Matchmaking Phase throughout the entire Battle Phase.

Siege Priority Flags

Since Siege is a cooperation-heavy PvP game mode, we would like to remind you that Clan Leaders and Deputies may help their teammates arrange the defense of their Fortress by marking specific positions and chokepoints with Defense and Resource flags. These flags indicate that players should set defensive teams or invest resources into the marked outposts respectively.

Arena-specific Auras in Siege Battles

As you already know, due to a technical bug, "Arena" Auras along with “All Battles” Auras are working in Siege right now. But this is not an intended behavior and will be fixed in the upcoming release 9.10. This means that starting from the release 9.10 only “All Battles” Auras will work in Siege.

CvC Tournament and Personal Rewards

The next installment of the CvC Tournament will not feature Personal Rewards.

That’s it for today's Digest! See you in two weeks!
