Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is Raid Battles? A: Raid Battle is a live game play where you team up with real players and you do missions. Once you've completed all the missions, your Raid Class (RC, located on top left next to your level) will level up. The missions' difficulty increases as you go through the quests.

Q: What's the purpose of Raid? A: Raid is the first content available in Brave Frontier that allows players to connect and play with each other through live. Playing raids to unlock new crafts in Randall, and many fun rewards such as gem and Sphere Frog! Not only that, the legendary Sacred Jewel, Medulla Gem, Legwand and more spheres are craftable!

Q: How many Raid Classes are there? A: Currently RC 3 is the highest. However, the difficulty increases very fast in RC 2 missions.

Q: Do you get special rewards for completing a Raid Class? A: The most notable reward that you get when rank up your Raid Class is a Sphere Frog. They are very limited and Raid gives 2 of them. Also, more spheres will be available for you to craft in Imperial Capital Randall as you go through the missions!

Q: Cool! Can you communicate with each other? A: Kind of. You can't exactly type in words, but there are many stickers available for you to use.

Q: Is it easy to form a group? A: Yes it is! After selecting the server, if you select the 2nd option (says Join Room), select the mission and RC you would like and press confirm. If you have friends that created a room, you can easily click the Friend Search button on the Server Screen of Raid to access your friends' rooms.

Q: I see some emoticons next to my name. What does this mean and how do I change it? A: Smiley face means that you're here and available to raid. Sad face means you're temporarily afk. Sleepy face means you're afk. If you have a sad face, simply touch the phone's screen and you'll be back to smiley face. If you join a room and the host has sleepy face, that means he/she's been afk for a while already. Feel free to leave if you see that.

Q: Does everyone have to be ready to start battle? A: Everyone does not have to be ready to start. However, if there's 4 people in the room and you start when only 1 player ready, the other 2 players won't be able to join and you will be stuck doing the mission with your other friend. It is crucial to wait until everyone is ready.

Q: During Raids, I click the Harvest button and it looks like I farm some materials. What are these for? A: These materials are used to craft raid items in the Randall Item Shop.

Q: Do you actually fight the boss at the same time? A: Yes, if your friend is at the boss tile and fighting the boss. You will notice a blue-background Brave Burst coming off every now and then. That is your friend's total damage that they've dealt to the boss.

Q: After I finish fighting the boss, I got a silver coin at the end. What are these? A: They are called Medals and they can be used for the Slot Machine in Randall (Where you get Metal/Jewel Keys). You need 3 medals per spin and you can win various prizes such as sphere frog, burst frog, imps, crystal gods, one-stat sphere, metal gods, and more.

Q: How fast do Raid Orbs refill? A: Once every hour. Level up does not refill the orbs.

Q: I got a blue nut from the field, is this one of the requirements for Medulla crafting? A: No. All the field drops are used to synthesize Raid Battle Items and Town's Synthesize Shop. These items do not count for Sphere Crafting in Imperial Randall. Medulla does require a blue nut, so you'll have to go to Randall and check Medulla to see whether or not this blue nut is the right one.

Q: I've tried this map 5 times already and the rare drop for Medulla hasn't drop yet! Does it even exist?! A: Yes it does. A rare drop typically drops every 10-20 runs. A very rare drop is usually around 50 runs. Keep going at it!

Q: Is a rare drop attached specifically for a certain quest? A: No. They are attached to the boss. For example, a purple pelt from Mission 11 of RC 2 attached to the boss named Reduhark. In this case, the last quest in RC 1 drops it as well as RC 3 Quest 5 and 10 since they all have Reduhark as boss. Keep in mind, higher difficulty missions will have a higher percent of dropping these rare items.

Q: I have Zelnite! Does that give me a higher chance to get these rare drops? A: No. The rare drops don't drop from boss, but award from defeating the boss. Zelnite increases the drop rate of item, but the bosses from Raid don't drop items.

Q: I have a question, but it's not addressed here. A: Kindly drop a comment below and someone will probably take a look.

Raid Class
Raid Class determines your rank as a Demon Slayer in Raid. A higher RC (Raid Class) means access to higher level missions, which increase in difficulty, but also in the value of the rewards obtained. Completion of all normal missions for an RC unlocks the final mission which, upon completion, unlocks the next level of RC missions and a promotion to the next RC.

Creating a Room
Rooms can be made by anyone, but access can be limited by the room master. Certain restrictions that can be made are: Hosts (or masters) are also allowed to set a comment, visible to other Summoners searching for a room.
 * Playing Style - Only players who are playing a certain way are allowed access. If you choose a style that suits you, your mission might go more smoothly!
 * Target - You can select what monster you would like to challenge when you open a Room. Members after the same Target will join your cause! You can search for a Room with the same Target as yours.
 * RC - You can select the lowest Raid Class required for other members to join the Room. You can't select a class higher than yours, but you can select lower classes. Help out your fellow Summoners and quest on!
 * Password - You can set a 4 digit password. Once a password has been set, it will be required in order to join the Room.
 * Auto-join - Players can automatically join your room. If you want to prevent other Summoners from entering the Room automatically, set this option to Off. This setting will reflect during searches.

Searching for a Room
Summoners can opt to search for a room instead! Limitations for searching for a room are the same as the limitations for creating a room, with the option to auto-join any available room that allows it. There is also the option to join a room that a friend is in.

Missions
Summoners can choose to play a mission alone, or join forces with other summoners! Entering a mission uses one Raid heart. A Raid heart can be replenished for 1 gem.

Lives
Lives are denoted by a number next to a heart at the upper left-hand corner of the screen when in a mission. When a summoners' squad is wiped out, one life is lost. Losing all three lives means that summoner can no longer participate in the mission unless they restore one of their lives for one gem.

Harvesting
There are multiple points on a map where a summoner can harvest items.

Resting
At the base camp, summoners can allow their squad to rest. Resting replenishes a certain amount of HP.

Success
Missions can only be completed by fulfilling the requirements for completion of that mission.

Failure
Each mission has a 30 minute time limit which starts counting down immediately after the host starts the mission. If the mission is not completed before the time limit is up or if all summoners lose all their lives, everyone fails the mission. Giving up a mission also counts as failing the mission. Failure of a mission forfeits any items that the boss might have dropped.

Completion of a mission
Rewards for completion of a mission include:
 * Zel
 * Karma
 * Honor Points
 * Random drops from the boss of the mission
 * Raid Medals

Promotion to Raid Class 2

 * 3 Gems
 * 1 Sphere Frog
