How to Beat the Colossal Titan Raid in Attack on Titan Revolution

Preparing for the Colossal Titan Raid

The Colossal Titan raid in Attack on Titan Revolution represents one of the most challenging endgame activities. Before you attempt to farm for the coveted Colossal Serum, you must meet strict entry requirements. You need to be at least Prestige 2 and possess A-rank gear or better.

It is also important to note that the Colossal Serum is incompatible with specific character families, including Zoe, Ackerman, and Helos. Ensure your character build is compatible before dedicating time to this grind. Because the raid involves multiple phases and specific mechanics, individual player skill is less important than team coordination and proper preparation.

• Reach Prestige 2 and secure A-rank or higher gear.
• Verify your family is not Zoe, Ackerman, or Helos to ensure serum compatibility.
• Assemble a team of 4 players; while solo runs are theoretically possible, they are highly inefficient and carry a significantly higher failure risk.
• Equip artifacts like the Colossal Scars to boost your titan-related stats.

Phase 1: The Wall Defense and Cannon Strategy

Phase 1 is where most players struggle. The Colossal Titan is immune to standard melee attacks and even powerful abilities like the Titan Nuke during this stage. You must rely exclusively on the cannons located along the wall to reduce the Titan's health to 50%.

According to community reports, attempting this phase with fewer than three players shooting cannons is rarely successful. Coordination is key: you should designate one player to protect Eren from the horde of Pure Titans below, while the other three focus entirely on firing the cannons.

To maximize damage, players should stand at the cannons and use WASD keys to adjust their aim. Aiming for the nape of the Colossal Titan yields higher damage numbers. If you find your damage output falling short, remember that buffs like the Helos clan's "Order Revolution" or the Fritz clan's "Founder's Order" can stack. These moves increase your team's stats, which directly translates into higher cannon damage.

Tip

If you are the dedicated defender of Eren, prioritize using mobility gear or Shifter transformations to manage the crowd. Utilizing red or black flares can debuff surrounding enemies, making it easier to keep the objective safe while your teammates focus on the main boss.

Phase 2: Direct Combat and Boss Execution

Once you successfully reduce the Colossal Titan's health to 50%, the boss will breach the wall, transitioning the encounter into Phase 2. At this point, the boss becomes vulnerable to your standard character attacks.

During this stage, the gameplay shifts from stationary cannon fire to high-mobility combat. You can now use your full arsenal of skills, including your best AoE perks. Keep in mind that guarding Eren remains a requirement; your team must switch responsibilities effectively if someone's Shifter gauge depletes or their health gets low.

Aim for the nape of the Titan to ensure you are outputting maximum damage. Community testing suggests that a well-coordinated team can reach over 10 million damage in this phase alone. Maintaining high damage output here is essential for clearing the mission quickly, which in turn allows for more raid completions per hour.

Optimizing for Serum Drops

The primary reason most players engage with this raid is to obtain the Colossal Serum, which allows you to unlock the Colossal Titan Shifter. The drop rates are notoriously low, making efficiency the most important factor in your farming routine.

The base drop chance from the Free Raid Chest is approximately 0.20%, while the Emperor's Trove offers a slightly higher chance of 0.40%. To increase these odds, you should focus on:

• Luck Boosting: Use codes and equipment to maximize your luck stats before entering the raid.
• Run Volume: Because drops are based on RNG, the faster you complete each run, the more chances you have to secure the serum.
• Emperor's Trove: Always prioritize opening this chest as it holds a higher drop priority than the standard Free Raid Chest.

High-Efficiency Farming

A coordinated team of four players at Prestige 4–5 can often clear the raid in under three minutes. This speed is far superior to solo play, which can take 5–10 minutes and introduces a much higher risk of failure. Prioritize team play to minimize "dry streaks."

Choosing the Right Build

Whether you are farming for the serum or preparing to use the Colossal Titan once unlocked, your build matters. For PvE and raid content, the Colossal Titan is widely considered the best Shifter due to its massive AoE output.

If you are building specifically for the Colossal Titan, the Arlert family is the top choice, providing a 10% boost to Colossal stats and significantly increasing the Nuke's AoE radius. Ensure your skill tree points are fully committed to damage nodes rather than hybrid defense builds to maximize your clearing potential in endgame content.

While the Colossal Titan has lower mobility compared to other shifters, its ability to clear waves simply by walking over them makes it an essential tool for any player looking to optimize their farming speed. Treat the Colossal Titan not as a PvP duelist, but as a specialized tool for dominating PvE missions and boss raids.
