New Feature: Love Raids (May 14th 2025 at test, May 21st 2025 at main)

[Vovantillo]

For me, this is also a waste of time. I noticed that the girl I don't have - the fragments run out in the first minute. And the one I have 100 fragments for, the fragments hang almost until the next reboot. An unnecessary waste of time, resources, nerves and everything else. Maybe in the future they will give some sense to this activity. But for now I'll do something more useful. For example, I'll play another game. Since this one pleases me less and less.

Addition

[garadron]

Do we know if these raids are supposed to run all the time or only like an event for a couple of days?

[bolitho76]

So far I understand KK, it should be permanent

 

[Magic1986]

If this is permanent we can only hope that all the girls get recycled. That way you can get them over time

 

On the other hand KK doesn't do things that are favoring players.

 

Klicked on Sweet Yesette's raid immediatly after the new batch cam in and there were 1000 shards. They were gone after 10 seconds.

Did a x50 out of curiosity and got 30 shards for her.

With ca 4 raids per day, we gain 1500 raids per year. We have something around 2200 Girls in the game. So after 1,5 years they have to reuse Girls at least. If there are some Girls excluded from the raids - Mythics, permanent Girls (League, World Girls fe) or CE/OD Girls - it will take less time. But I have seen at least one EpP Girl in a Raid so unknown if Girls are excluded.

Bruh, 1500 shards for Yesette gone in 3 seconds... People are just wasting combat and hoping they get a shard or two... 1500 seems wayyyy to low of count for how many players are competing for shards on the story Bosses or even the seasons. I did a 50 play and got no shards 2 seconds after they reloaded... 🙃

[Magic1986]

Shard count is completely unbalanced.

[jelom]

for the science

Raid battles

Bremen,  Lunar Rabbi (skin Rabbi in Purple), 96 battles, 8 drops (8,33%), 33 shards   (drop range 1-7)

[SamRei]

Ok, it seems like the people really want the skins, which is interesting since those 3 star girls will not be used much even with skins the power level is just too low. Other than that the shards available seems to be way better on most girls on nutaku, but I guess the moment something more interesting comes up, we're as screwed as everyone else.

Still all that for some missing 3 star girls, which probably show up somewhere else sooner or later, guess some people have other priorities than me.

[430i]

Similarly to jelom - 11 drops from 97 battles for the skin.

@SamRei Most people have nothing else to do with their combativity, so why not? And its a pretty relaxed experience compared to the no-lifing to get some rando 3star girl, that most people wont even get to 100%

As said above, I had to spent my fists from labyrinth somewhere and the skin was ready for it 

[TrueNinja]

this new feature is completely pointless if shards are gone in the first 5 seconds.

[Methos2]

Love Raid is pointless to me. I'm ignoring it. It's much easier to get 3-star girls when they are revived like CbC. Getting 100 shards between 8-24hrs will require spending kobans. Even if you can get some shards, it will just be wasted when you get the rest from CbC. Skins for 3-star girls are irrelevant. Keeping track of which girl and when raids are available constantly will be a sure headache. We have enough events to keep track, we don't need to keep track 12 more events every few hours.

The whole idea of shard pool is dumb. It neither helps KK nor players. Spending huge amount of CP on a girl is exclusive enough, making it limited doesn't make the event attractive. If players want to buy CP to spend on a girl, let them whenever they want. That's good for business.

My guess is that the majority of players have no idea that skins are boosting stats. Nothing in the game says so and most players probably don't read the full patch notes or check forum/discord.

You can save kobans if you go for the girls that will be revived in PoR's paid path. There might be more cases where it's worth it going for the Raid girl, but we'll have to see.

In the harem on the girls with skins, there's a line :

and the tooltip says so :

Quote

Each owned Skin gives 1% Stats boost, up to a maximum of 5% for the particular Girl.

but I agree that the discoverability of the thing is not great, but it's still better than some other features.

Also one thing to note is that Yesette was on an early troll. It will be interesting to compare it to Verena's shards in 9 hours, since she's on Gross.

Possibly but in a small cases. PoR girls are revived PoV girls. Both events provides girls in 100 shards at the end. So having some shards before PoR won't help and you won't get partial shards from either event before Love Raid. You will have to get 100 shards from Love Raid to save from spending on PoR assuming you even have the opportunity to do so with the shard pool. With CP from natural regen and hard Labyrinth, you will still need to spend at least 2K kobans on villains. If you don't open PoV bonus path, you will need to get 2 specific girls from Love Raid in order to skip spending on PoR. I would much prefer to spend 3600 kobans during PoV and get the other resources as well especially XP, books, SP. I won't have to deal with PoR or Love Raid.

The only event girls that I see Love Raid worth playing are the OD villain girls. Getting some shards help before and after OD so only natural regen is needed. But OD girls are not difficult to obtain especially during DD.

Love Raid just doesn't seem fun to me. I refuse to give KK any more of my time and brain cells.

[Alander]

I still don't understand how the raid on the champion should work. Both times, I didn't get any shards either during the fights or at the end of the stage.

I actually agree with you. But there is one big exception for me. If I see it correctly, there should be two 5-star Legendary Girls tomorrow, each with a skin. I will try to get at least 1 shard so that the girls will appear in the Love Labyrinth store.

From what I heard you get shards per battle but drop rates are abysmal. One player with platinum monthly card did 93 fights before champion died and he got only 14 shards from it.

I have no idea how F2P players are supposed to get girls this way.

[bolitho76]

@Alander

For champion raids:

dropchance per ticket: 6%

droprange for 3* Girls: 1-7

droprange for 5* Girls: 1-3

So what @xRob91 mentioned: mostly impossible to gain a Girl for f2p. But at least KK is thinking about improving:

 

[Vovantillo]

I am a f2p player. And I don't bother with this innovation with raids. I think it doesn't bring any practical benefit to me. It doesn't strengthen my team for PvP, it doesn't fill my markets with resources. Why should I waste time, effort and money on it??? I don't understand. Maybe sometime in the future they will change something for the better and I will change my attitude. But for now I will stand aside and watch how players are torn apart by indignation because of yet another ridiculous activity in this game. For me, it would be better to introduce activities so that I could replenish my supplies with books and flowers, for example. And the harem is growing, and there are catastrophically not enough resources for pumping up girls, mythical amplifiers and other things.

[xRob91]

Definitely the lack of books and gifts is currently one of the the biggest balancing problems in game. I always address this issue in feature surveys but devs are deaf to my pleas. I also asked this question for Q&A with Rosso once, but they skipped it completely...

[Master-17]

Regarding raids against trolls: look at which trolls exactly the raid is against. Trolls from the first few worlds are available to everyone, including those who are not interested in raids, so shards in them fly away in an instant. Trolls from the last worlds are not available to everyone, so shards there are spent slowly, mainly by those who are really interested in raids, but there are few of them. It is best to add raids only in the "middle range" worlds, about 4-10th

Same goes for Seasons: everyone plays them all the time, regardless of whether they want to participate in a raid or not. That's why shards there also run out instantly.

Seasons

[Vovantillo]

This is happening right now. I have them all, although I have been in the game for less than two years. And I am not interested in skins, especially on GL*3

[swavolt]

please - get the skins only for the mythic girls - ume is now

im interested if i must use the sandelwood for the skin
