Thread: Wicked Emperor of the Abyss: An Overview of the first Raid Event

The first Raid Event is similar to the Disaster Raids, with a chance to get SSR drops directly from Expert raids and above. These event battles also drop a specific event token and event Gatcha tickets which can net you a wide range of goodies. Accrue a fixed amount of a specific event token and you unlock a completion prize; accrue more to reach the next tier and unlock the next prize. Normal and Expert difficulty fights have two 'color' options which give slightly different rewards, both for prizes and in the Gatcha. In this event, Red group battles lead to two SSR eidolon (water) prizes, with the SSR weapon (thunder hammer) as a Gatcha reward. Meanwhile Blue group battles lead to two SSR weapon prizes, with the eidolon as a Gatcha reward. The Blue group battles in this event are considered to be more difficult. Ideally, you want to farm one color for the guaranteed token SSRs, and then farm the other color for Gatcha chances at additional copies of the same SSR for LB. Both Gatchas can also drop merit points, which unlock an additional set of prizes at fixed tiers of points. This event also introduces a Ragnarok difficulty raid boss, which spawns randomly and drops a large amount of tokens and tickets.

In all, you can get 2 of each SSR from color token prizes and 1 from merit point prizes, and you'll need to pick up the remaining copies from the corresponding color Gatcha or directly from Expert or higher boss drops. The weapon for an SR kamihime (wind) is also featured as a color prize, a merit point prize, and as a Gatcha reward, and is relatively easier to pick up than any of the SSR rewards. The eidolon grants the much sought-after attack down debuff (10%), and should be useful to all players. One year later, a Raid Event has not been renewed in the JP version, so plan accordingly. Do note that completing a LB relies significantly on luck in this event; there doesn't appear to be a way to directly farm all the copies you'll need, even for the SR weapons.

You can find a full explanation in the JP wiki. I wrote this up quickly in response to a user question, so I'll revise and update it when I have some time.

This was helpful. The raid events will be primarily water enemies I assume?

hmm after google translated the site...

"Red EX can be a solo strategy if someone is well equipped, but Blue EX has become an extraordinary degree of difficulty that can easily be annihilated even at the discarded billing party hardened with high rare recovery shrine princess or spirit , The capture by solo is completely dependent on luck."

looks like Blue EX gonna be a hellish~

i'm a bit confuse above... red for weapon, blue for eido

does the SSR Hammer refer to Thor's Mjolnir or am I mistaken???

i beleive that Thor's mjolnir is a gacha ssr weapon that will unlock Thor, who will be introduced with the raid. Raid ssr weapon is just that: ssr weapon, like any other event ssr weapon we had up till now, w/o any hime, attached to it.

That's better, thank you. Is there a list of gacha rewards as well?

Here's the original JP quote:
赤EXはある程度戦力の整ってる人なら ばソロ攻略も可能ですが、青EXは高レ ア回復神姫や英霊で固めた廃課金パ� �ティでも容易に全滅し得る程の異常� ��難易度となっており、ソロでの攻略 は完全に運次第となります。

And the translation:
While the Red Expert boss can be soloed by a decently-equipped player, the Blue Expert boss is abnormally difficult, and even a whale with high-rarity healer kamihime and souls could end up annihilated. Successfully soloing the fight comes down completely to luck.

As for the difference in rewards, there's two types: those earned by reaching token milestones, and those obtainable in the event Gatcha. The Blue raid drops tokens that lead to a copy of the SSR weapon and Gatcha tickets that include the SSR eidolon as a potential reward. The Red raid drops tokens for the SSR eidolon and tickets that give you a chance for the SSR weapon.

As usual, all enemies are the same element as the titular eidolon.

So are the blue versions drops stronger because it is harder? Or is it like the current raids where its intended to be done by multiple people and the drops between red and blue are comparable?

Blue and red versions are like mirror images in terms of drops: equivalent, but not the same. Inevitably you'll want to do both for the milestone prizes, especially due to the diminishing returns, and in order to maximize your opportunity for multiple copies of a given SSR.

wonder if i can solo red version with 30k total power...
