Guild Raid Guide

Guild Raid is a cooperative PvE mode where your guild fights powerful bosses together. Unlike Fiend Hunter’s single-boss format, Guild Raid involves multiple bosses and coordination among guild members. The 2.5th anniversary update (December 2025) launched Guild Raid as a full seasonal mode with improved rewards and new mechanics.

How Guild Raid Works

Guild Raid runs on a seasonal schedule with Invasion Defense and Boss Defense phases:

  • Invasion Defense — Guild members cooperate to raise Lancelot’s level (removed in March 2026)
  • Boss Defense — Fight the season boss as a guild

From March 2026, Boss Defense runs for 7 days with Lancelot fixed at level 5. Invasion Defense is under review and may be removed entirely.

Boss Mechanics

Each season introduces new bosses with unique mechanics:

Current and Recent Bosses

  • Doomsday Machina (Wind) — High defense, vulnerable to magic attacks. Introduced September 2025.
  • Rucersingha (Fire) — Gains additional beneficial effects if you have effects granted by Rucersingha. February 2026.
  • Morghenia (Light) — Creates a domain that buffs itself while applying debuffs to enemies. March 2026.

Overkill System

When guilds tie in score, the Overkill system breaks the tie. After a boss reaches 0 HP, the battle continues until all characters finish their turn. Damage dealt after HP reaches zero counts as Overkill damage.

  • Overkill applies only to level 10 boss battles
  • Each guild’s top three scorers’ Overkill damage is combined
  • The guild with higher total Overkill damage wins the tiebreaker

Rewards and Scoring

Guild Raid rewards are based on:

  • Individual damage contribution
  • Guild ranking
  • Boss level cleared

From March 2026, rewards require participation in both Invasion Defense and Boss Defense.

Lancelot Progression

Lancelot is the guild’s shared resource that scales boss difficulty:

  • Higher Lancelot level = harder bosses = better rewards
  • Practice battles allow testing with different Lancelot levels
  • From March 2026, Lancelot is fixed at level 5 for Boss Defense

Contribution Tips

  1. Build for chain damage — Guild Raid favors sustained chain damage over burst
  2. Bring support buffers — ATK/MATK buffs and vulnerability amplifiers
  3. Use the right element — Check boss weakness before forming your team
  4. Check the timer — Bring teams that can clear within the time limit
  5. Coordinate with guildmates — Share strategies for specific boss phases
