Introduction

Raids are the bridge between a good build and a finished one. A run starts by reaching a raid entrance and buying a raid chip, and the chip type decides which fruit awakening the run can unlock. Once inside, you clear waves of enemies before the timer expires; running out of time wastes the chip, so a raid is a damage and speed check as much as a survival test. Rewards come as Fragments, the currency behind fruit awakening, race rerolls and race awakening. Hard raids such as Dough, Buddha and Phoenix expect either a group or a genuinely strong solo build, and they should be treated as separate encounters rather than the next step in a smooth ladder. Raid access itself unlocks through the second sea, which is why the system becomes central around level 700 and above.

Raid Run Cards

S

Raid Chip Run

The standard awakening raid

EntryReach the raid entrance and buy a chip whose type matches the fruit you want to awaken. The chip is consumed on entry, so the purchase is a commitment.
Clear ConditionWaves of enemies must be cleared before the timer expires. Failing wastes the chip, so clear speed matters more than survivability here.
PayoffFragments plus progress toward awakening the targeted fruit. This is the run you repeat to build a Fragment budget without taking hard-raid risk.
A

Fruit Awakening

Where most Fragments should go first

Why FirstAwakening upgrades a fruit you already use and understand, so the payoff is immediate and permanent. It also changes how a familiar kit plays, which keeps an older fruit relevant.
CostFragments per stage, funded by repeated completions. Costs compete with race options, so budget the number of runs before you start spending.
CautionDo not awaken a fruit you barely play. Expensive skills you have no practice with are worse than a cheaper fruit you already clear content with.
B

Race Reroll

Rerolling the race bonus on your account

Why RerollThe race bonus is a modifier on movement, damage or utility, and rerolling chases a better fit for your build rather than a flat upgrade.
CostFragments per attempt with no guaranteed result, which makes it the least efficient early sink. Budget for several attempts before expecting the race you want.
CautionDo this after your main fruit is awakened and your weapon Mastery is settled. Rerolling early just delays upgrades that affect every fight.
C

Hard Raids

Dough, Buddha and Phoenix territory

Why GroupThese runs publish no cost table, but they share the same rule: the timer decides. A group spreads damage so the waves clear before the clock becomes the real enemy.
CostOne chip per attempt, plus the risk of a failed run. Attempts are expensive in time even when the entry cost itself is modest.
CautionAttempt only with a finished build or a coordinated group. Solo attempts made before your damage is ready usually fail at the wave stage rather than the boss.

Core Mechanics

A raid is a timed instance, not an open-world fight. You buy a chip, enter, and clear enemy waves against a clock. Because the chip is consumed whether or not you finish, preparation matters more than bravery: check that your damage is enough on a normal island before spending a chip on a hard run. Fragments earned from completions feed three sinks, fruit awakening, race reroll and race awakening, and they compete with each other, so every spend is a trade-off. Awakening is permanent for that fruit, while race options are more situational. This is why raid planning and build planning are the same conversation: what you clear determines what you can finish.

Advantages

Raids are the only route to fruit awakening and race progression, which makes them the highest-value repeatable content in the game. A single successful run can move a fruit from a good pick to an endgame tool. Fragments also give a clear, measurable goal: you always know what the next upgrade costs, so progress is visible rather than luck-based. Group runs lower the damage requirement dramatically and turn hard raids into realistic targets for mid-level players. Because chip types determine the awakening, you can target exactly the fruit you own instead of farming blindly, which makes planning straightforward once you know your build.

Challenges

The chip economy is unforgiving. A failed run costs the chip, so a player who enters under-geared loses both the entry fee and the session. Hard raids raise that risk sharply, and the Dough, Buddha and Phoenix runs in particular punish solo players who have not finished a build. Fragment sinks compete directly with one another, so spending on a race reroll can delay a fruit awakening by several runs. Access is also gated by the second sea, which leaves first-sea players with no raid income at all. Finally, because the developers publish no drop or cost tables, exact Fragment figures you see in videos should be verified in game.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I get a raid chip?+
You buy a raid chip at the raid entrance, and the chip type determines which fruit awakening the run unlocks. That means the first decision is always which fruit you intend to awaken, not just whether you feel ready for a raid. Because the chip is consumed on entry, buy it only when you can actually finish the waves inside the timer. If you are unsure about your damage, test your clear speed on a normal island in your level band first, then commit to the run.
What are Fragments used for?+
Fragments are the raid currency and they feed three main sinks: fruit awakening, race rerolls and race awakening. They compete with each other, so every purchase delays something else. Fruit awakening is usually the strongest long-term investment because it upgrades a tool you already use, while race options are situational and better judged once your build is settled. Avoid spending Fragments on low-value upgrades early, and check the current cost in game before planning a run count, since community-cited numbers can drift between updates.
Can I solo raids?+
Some raids are soloable with a finished build and good clear speed, while hard runs such as Dough, Buddha and Phoenix are realistically group content unless you are over-geared. The deciding factor is the timer: if you cannot clear waves fast enough, the run fails and the chip is gone. Test your damage before spending a chip, and treat a group as the default for anything labelled hard. Playing with others also spreads the risk, which matters when the entry cost is the chip itself.

Quick Tips

💡

Test your damage on a normal island before you buy a chip. If enemies in your level band take several skill rotations to kill, a timed raid will almost certainly run out of clock. Clear speed is the honest readiness check, and it costs nothing to measure compared with a wasted chip.

💡

Decide the Fragment sink before you start running. Race rerolls, race awakening and fruit awakening all draw from the same pool, and spending on one delays the others by several completions. Pick the upgrade that helps your current build clear more content, then commit until it is paid for instead of splitting Fragments across three upgrades that all stay unfinished.

💡

Treat hard raids as separate goals, not the next step. Dough, Buddha and Phoenix expect a group or a genuinely finished build, so attempting them the moment they unlock usually burns attempts. Farm the easier runs for Fragments and gear first, then return with a build that clears the waves comfortably.
