Understanding the Raid System and Rewards
In Attack on Titan Revolution, raids represent the endgame content where players test their builds against iconic Titans. Unlike standard missions, raids function as a multi-stage challenge where you must first defend key objectives—such as boats or NPCs—from waves of enemies before facing the primary boss.
The loot table is diverse, ranging from general items like the Crystal Necklace to highly coveted custom skins tied to specific boss variants. According to community reports, developers have updated the system so that most Titan raids now feature unique drops tailored to the shifter being fought. Whether you are hunting for the Armored Titan's gear or the Female Titan's Ex Machina set, understanding the drop rates is essential for optimizing your grind.
How to Access and Conquer Raids
To begin your raid journey, navigate to the Main Menu in the official Attack on Titan Revolution game. Raids are categorized by difficulty, each requiring a specific player Grade to enter.
Check Requirements: Ensure your character meets the Grade criteria (e.g., D+ for Hard, B+ for Severe, or A- for Aberrant mode).
Form a Party: While you can attempt raids solo, grouping with up to 8 players makes defending objectives significantly easier.
Defend the Objective: Focus on clearing waves of Titans quickly to prevent the loss of critical assets.
Boss Engagement: Once the boss spawns, maintain consistent damage output. You must deal at least 5% of the total damage to be eligible for rewards.
Unlock Chests: Use an Emperor’s Key to open the Emperor’s Chests earned upon successful completion.
Farming Rare Boss Variants and Custom Skins
A common point of confusion among players is the rarity of specific equipment skins. Community experience suggests that bosses occasionally spawn as "custom variants." These special versions are the primary source for exclusive ODM gear, blades, and thunder spear skins.
Tip
The spawn rate for these special boss variants is approximately 10%. Because finding them can be time-consuming, many high-level players use a "rejoin" strategy: they load into the raid, check the boss model, and if it is a standard variant, they immediately leave and restart the raid to save time.
Keep in mind that while luck boosts can improve your odds of receiving items from chests, the initial spawn of the boss variant remains the biggest bottleneck. Patience is key, as obtaining a full set of rare gear can take dozens of successful raid clears.
Optimizing Your Build for Raid Drops
Success in raids depends heavily on your Titan choice and equipment loadout. For instance, the Colossal Titan is often cited in community discussions as one of the most effective tools for clearing waves quickly, though it requires specific management to protect objectives.
Recommended Artifacts
Crystal Necklace: Highly valued for its flat damage increase and punching speed, making it a staple for general play and Female Titan builds.
Warrior’s Armband: Provides damage reduction and resistance; particularly useful when playing as the Armored Titan to maximize survivability.
Attack Titan Scars: Essential for players focusing on the Attack Titan's unique skill tree and damage output.
When farming, ensure your gear matches your playstyle. If you are using Thunder Spears, focus on sets that boost spear damage rather than standard ODM gear to ensure you meet the 5% damage contribution threshold efficiently.
FAQ: Common Questions About Raid Loot
Can I get all rare skins from any raid?
No, each boss has a specific loot pool. For example, the Armored Titan drops armored-specific scars and gear, while the Female Titan provides different custom skins. You must target the specific boss that drops the item you desire.
Do I need to be in Aberrant mode for rare drops?
While higher difficulties offer better general rewards (EXP and Gold), the rare custom skins are primarily linked to the boss variants. However, playing on higher difficulties is recommended to maximize your total loot efficiency per hour.
What should I do if I can't find the boss variant?
If you are farming solo, the most efficient method is to reset the raid instance if the boss does not appear as the desired variant. This avoids wasting time on a run that won't yield the specific rare drop you are hunting.
