What is the Raid in Blade Idle?
The Raid is a new feature added to Blade Idle in June 2022. A large number of players will compete at the same time to defeat a boss to earn rewards. To unlock Raid, you need to clear Stage 15-50.
Upon reaching certain stage requirements, you can unlock more Raid stages to increase your raid rewards. Eg, stage 2 will give you access to God-tier figures.
Raid provides mighty bonuses to your character, so ALWAYS spend 2000 diamonds to purchase 2 Raid Tickets from the shop. You want to raid as much as possible to earn its rewards for a huge damage boost.
What are Figures? – Raid Rewards
Raid rewards come in the form of Figures and Ancient Relic Boxes. After you have finished the raid, you will be presented with a results screen. These results will show the amount of damage each player dealt to the boss as a percentage(%) with a ranking and all the rewards everybody received. Generally speaking, the higher you rank in the raid, the better your rewards, though this is not always the case.
Figures are very similar to Accessories in Blade Idle. They have equipped option effects that you can roll for. Figures can be upgraded, come in various rarities from Magic to God, and come with the following stats:
Figure ATK%
Figure DEF%
Figure HP%
However, the remarkable thing about Figures is that you can equip one of each rarity at a time. On top of this, there are Monster Figures and Master Figures, so in total, you can equip up to 12 Figures at once! Furthermore, as each Figure has an opportunity to roll for bonus option stats, you can obtain a tonne of extra stats when you have a complete set equipped.
You can view all the Figures you have equipped at the very top of the screen when the Figure window is open.
How to Upgrade Your Figures
You can upgrade figures by sacrificing a specific number of figures of the same rarity to increase their base stats. You can use both Monster Figures and Master Figures for any upgrade. In addition, each Figure has at least 1 special effect you can unlock when you upgrade it to a certain level.
How to Transfer Upgrade Stats
Any figures leveled up can transfer their level stats to another copy of the same figure. This is useful when you collect a relic with better special effects or more option slots, then you don’t need to use more figures to upgrade each relic you want to change to.
However, when you transfer upgrade stats, you will not transfer any option slots, so if you know that you will not keep a relic long-term, do not spend too many magic dice as they will be wasted.
Ancient Relics
Along with Summoned Relics that you summon with diamonds, you now have Ancient Relics that you open from Ancient Relic Chests obtained from the Raid. Upgrading your relics is almost precisely the same as the summoned relics. But harder to get as you have a limited number of raid tickets at your disposal. So, as I mentioned earlier, make sure you purchase extra raid tickets from the shop every day!
The bonuses you receive from Ancient Relics are powerful. They ensure that all your sweep rewards for every dungeon are increased, similar to costume bonuses, along with various methods of improving your damage.
Market
The market is an exciting new addition to Blade Idle. It is the first time players can trade some form of currency with each other using red diamonds. Red diamonds act very similarly to regular blue diamonds, but you can only use them for summoning or trading in the market.
How to get Red Diamonds
To get red diamonds, simply swap them for your blue diamonds in the exchange window at a 1:1 ratio.
Selling Your Figures
The Figure you’d like to sell must be at least Legendary rarity. Each Figure can sell for a maximum of 1,000,000 red diamonds (If you get a lucky buyer). Bear in mind that when you sell your Figures, the market will take a cut from your profits, so you will not get the entire amount back.
