Quest Types

Story Quests

Each Raid event includes a prologue story viewable upon first entering the Raid event menu, as well as 5-8 story episodes and a sprinkling of short quests to complete. These story episodes and quests must be completed to fully unlock most of the Raid event proper. Additionally, after the event has concluded, an epilogue story will be available to view.

Boss battles

Kindness and Captivity Prologue 03.png

Boss battles[1] are a quest that can be attempted solo or in co-op, and act like traditional co-op quests where only 4 units total are allowed (1 per player). This tends to involve fighting a regularly-sized boss, as one might see in other quests. This quest is the primary source of

Raid Battle

Resplendent Refrain Prologue 04.png

Raid battles[2] are a co-op exclusive quest where up to 16 units can participate (4 per player). This involves fighting a giant Raid boss that has multiple body parts with their own HP bars. Damage to any body part will contribute damage to the boss's overall HP, but fully depleting the HP of a part will break it, leading to more rewards and sometimes weakening the boss's attacks.

Participating in a Raid battle costs getherwings as well as

Nightmare Raid

Nightmare Raid[3] can be accessed after clearing EX Raid. The boss will have significantly more HP than EX Raid, and the time limit is shorter, demanding that players deal high amounts of damage quickly.

Regular drop rewards are the same as in Expert, including the chance to drop

Omega Solo and Omega Raid

Omega Solo and Raid[5] are exceptionally difficult quests.

Omega Solo is a single-player difficulty mode that can be unlocked by clearing Nightmare difficulty and obtaining 3

s from Emblem collection rewards. Omega Solo has the player face the Raid boss alone, with just their own team of 4 adventurers. The boss uses similar attack patterns to Expert, EX, and Nightmare, however may differ in traits such as Condition resistance. This mode was first released at the same time as Raid Boosts, so it is balanced around having those boosts, and therefore highly recommended to bring maxed Raid Boosts into the fight. First-clear rewards tend to include

x5, but no items will drop upon completing this quest. Successfully clearing this mode will also unlock the Omega Raid difficulty. Omega Raid is a co-op difficulty similar to Expert, EX, and Nightmare Raid battles, but the boss has higher HP and deals more damage. Omega Raids are only available during weekends while the Raid event is running. First-clear rewards tend to include

x5, but no items will drop upon completing this quest.

Progression

Otherworld Fragments
Error: Table Materials not found.

Otherworld Fragments are a resource that can be used alongside getherwings to challenge Raid battles. They are primarily obtained as drops from boss battles.

Otherworld Gems
Error: Table Materials not found.

Otherworld Gems[6] are a resource that can be used to challenge EX Raid battles. They can be obtained as drops from Expert or Nightmare Raid battles.

Omega Keys
Error: Table Materials not found.

Omega Keys[7] are special items used to unlock Omega Solo quests. 3 keys need to be obtained to unlock the quest, and these keys can be found in Bronze, Silver, and Gold Emblem collection rewards.

Raid Boosts

Fractured Futures Prologue 05.png

Raid Boosts[8] are passive effects to improve the player's combat performance during the Raid event. These can be earned in increments of 1-2% by clearing boss and Raid battles, and they stack up up to a set maximum amount.

Rare Raid Boosts are available as well, but unlike regular Raid Boosts they can be earned only from Raid battles, come at full power right away, and each type can only be obtained once during the event. Rare Raid Boosts are more likely to appear when clearing higher-difficulty quests.


Rewards

4 Icon Rarity 4.png Adventurer

Skyborne Spectacle Prologue 02.png

Each Raid Event includes a free 4 Icon Rarity 4.png Adventurer that temporarily joins the player's roster. By completing quests with this character on the team, Raid-related or otherwise, friendship points can be earned. Points earned are equal to the stamina cost for the quest cleared, but if a Raid-related quest is cleared then the points gained are doubled. Once friendship points reach their maximum, the Adventurer will permanently join the player's roster. Assuming the appropriate Mana Circle nodes have been unlocked, maxing friendship points will also make the Adventurer's story available to view. Befriending the free Adventurer will also unlock a daily endeavor to obtain a

Error: Table Consumables not found.

when all other daily Raid endeavors are complete[9].

If a Raid event ends but the free Adventurer's friendship points were never maxed, then they will not join the player's roster. However, should the Raid event be rerun, the Adventurer will retain their friendship points and any level or Mana Circle upgrades applied when the player last had them.

This Adventurer has an element advantage over their Raid's boss, often has a Class Bane that is effective against the Raid boss, and has a maximum resistance of 50% to the main Condition that the boss inflicts. Due to their status as free units, these Adventurers will have lower-cost Mana Circles and tend to have lower stats than 4 Icon Rarity 4.png Adventurers obtained from Summoning.


5 Icon Rarity 5.png Dragon

A Waltz with Fate Jikai Preview 03.png

Every Raid event includes a free 5 Icon Rarity 5.png Dragon that can be obtained 5 times, enough to allow it to be Max Unbound. 4 copies of the Dragon can be obtained from Blazon Summons, while 1 copy can be obtained from

Error: Table Materials not found.

collection rewards.

This Dragon usually shares the same element as their Raid's boss. Due to their status as free units, these Dragons will have weaker abilities and lower stats than 4 Icon Rarity 4.png Dragons obtained from Summoning. At Max Unbound, one of these free dragons will have an ability comparable to that of a non-Unbound 4 Icon Rarity 4.png summmoned dragon.


Emblems

Emblems are collectible items that can be obtained from boss and Raid battles. They cannot be spent, but instead act as a score system, with rewards available depending on the total amount of each emblem type collected. There three types of emblems: Bronze, Silver, and Gold.

Blazon Summons

Echoes of Antiquity Prologue 05.png

Participating in the Raid Event will award

Error: Table Materials not found.

s. These can then be used in Blazon Summons[10] to obtain a variety of rewards, including the Raid Event's free 5 Icon Rarity 5.png Dragon and 4 Icon Rarity 4.png Wyrmprint[11]. Random Wyrmprints other than the Raid-specific one can also be obtained from Blazon Summons. These prints are mostly 3 Icon Rarity 3.png and 4 Icon Rarity 4.png, and only one featured 5 Icon Rarity 5.png Wyrmprint has a chance to appear. This featured print tends to have an elemental or affliction resistance relevant to the Raid's boss[12].

Blazon Summons are divided into "boxes", each containing a set amount for each type of reward. Once a reward has been obtained, it is removed from the box, and this process continues until the box is empty. Attempting to summon again will prompt the player to "reset" the box, which will make it proceed from box #1 to #2 etc, with different rewards. Boxes #1 to #4 each contain 1 copy of the free 5 Icon Rarity 5.png Dragon and 4 Icon Rarity 4.png Wyrmprint, while boxes #5 onwards will contain 1 copy of the Wyrmprint but will not contain a copy of the Dragon.

Boxes can be prematurely reset without emptying them by pressing the "reset" button after the Dragon copy from that box has been summoned. Resetting in this way will forfeit the unclaimed contents of the box, and proceed to the next box. This results in less rewards overall, and is only advised if one is in a rush for all copies of the Dragon specifically.

Notes

  1. From Kindness and Captivity/November 2019 onwards, Boss battles only have Beginner and Expert difficulties. The rewards from Standard difficulty have been moved into Beginner.
  2. From Kindness and Captivity/November 2019 onwards, Raid Battles only have Beginner and Expert difficulties. The rewards from Standard difficulty have been moved into Beginner.
  3. Nightmare Raids was first added in Resplendent Refrain/May 2019.
  4. The Grand Bounty was updated to include Bronze and Silver Emblems from Fractured Futures/September 2019 onwards.
  5. Omega difficulty was first added in Fractured Futures/September 2019.
  6. Otherworld Gems was first added in Fractured Futures/September 2019. Prior to this, EX battles had a random chance to unlock after clearing Expert or Nightmare. However, EX unlocks could not be stacked - the player had to clear EX before playing Expert/Nightmare again in order to get another unlock chance. The addition of Otherworld Gems solved this issue by allowing players to stack EX runs.
  7. Omega Keys were first added in Fractured Futures/September 2019.
  8. Raid Boosts were first added in Fractured Futures/September 2019. Rare Raid Boosts could drop from boss battles as well in this event, but that was removed as of Kindness and Captivity/November 2019.

  11. From Resplendent Refrain/November 2018 onwards, the free 4 Icon Rarity 4.png Wyrmprint no longer has a Bane ability to boost damage against the boss. At this time only 1 Wyrmprint was equippable per Adventurer, so this change was made to allow non-Raid Wyrmprints to be usable instead.
  12. From Echoes of Antiquity/May 2019 onwards, featured 5 Icon Rarity 5.png prints are available from Blazons
