''If you want to see the basic tips I made for Shadow Fight 2 single player, click here... http://shadowfight.wikia.com/wiki/Thread:34741''

This time, the tips I'm going to mention are for raids. Unlike the previous thread, I will have to divide the tips into three parts. The first part will be the general tips meaning that the tips could be applied for all players. The second part will be non-level 52 tips meaning that these tips are exclusive for non-level 52 players. The third and last part will be level 52 tips meaning that these tips are exclusive for level 52 players.

Note: Some of these tips are based on my opinions so if you have something to say, go ahead and comment below.

General Tips
As I mentioned earlier, these tips can be applied to all raid players and some of these tips might be very familiar to a common raid player.

1. Try not play raids too often until level 52 

This is more like a suggestion rather than a tip or else this "tip" will contradict some of my other tips. The reason why you should try to avoid playing raids too often before you reach level 52 is because one of the rewards you can get is a part of the monk set. You would be better of getting the monk set at Ascension because the monk set pieces you'll get from raids will not come with its simple enchantment. You can simply not get the rewards by not playing raids for a while just to be safe, it's better to avoid playing raids too much until you reach level 52 (and also before getting the monk set).

2. The equipment power (weapon, armor, helm, ranged weapon, and magic) won't apply for raids

Unlike in single player, the damage you do in raids will depend on the damage given in the list of moves.

3. The enchantment power won't affect your chances of getting the enchantment during raids

Regardless on whatever enchantment power you have, the chances of getting the enchantment will be the same.

4. Your player level doesn't matter

Whether your player level is high or not, you'll always have the same strength (excluding the equipment you equipped)

5.. Usage of charges, elixir, and horns

For charges, try to only use them when you really need to. For the elixir and the upcoming horns, I'll leave that up to you on when to use them.

6.. Don't expect yourself to win every raid

Sometimes your lack of skill or your other players' lack of skill can cause your raid battles to result in a loss therefore forfeiting the reward. If that happens, just move on and play another raid.

7. Don't worry if you ran out of keys to play

Especially when you start playing raids, you might run out of keys in order to play. If that's the case, just wait for the season to end and the number of Volcano keys you will have will be increased to 5. You can also buy keys in the shop.

For Non-Level 52 players...
If you still want to play raids before you reach level 52, here are some tips for you. The main difference between a level 52 player and a non-level 52 player is that a non-level 52 player has very limited options.

1. Single-player should be prioritized more than raids

I would highly recommend you to finish the story in single-player (or at least reach level 52 and get the monk set) before you focus on raids. The reason for this is to increase your options in choosing your equipment for raids.

2. Choosing your equipment

For your equipment I would recommend you these things...

Weapon : I would suggest you to pick any weapon you have that you're comfortable with.

Armor : I would suggest you to pick the armor you're recently using

Helm : Same thing with armor

Ranged Weapon : Same thing with weapon

Magic : Same thing with weapon and ranged weapon

Note: DO NOT buy any gem equipment if you're only planning to use them for raids. Focus more on single player.

3. Choosing your enchantments

If you already have an item which was already enchanted, I would suggest you to use the item. DO NOT enchant any item if you're only planning to enchant for raids. Remember that single-player is more important.

4. Try to avoid getting the raid rewards for now

As I mentioned earlier, you might accidentally get the monk set too early so you might have to try to avoid getting the rewards as much as possible. You can do this by simply not playing raids once the season ends.

For Level 52 players...
These tips are meant to be for Level 52 players. Unlike non-level 52 players, level 52 players have a lot more freedom in choosing equipment. Keep in mind that these tips are very subjective

1. Get the monk set in Ascension first

The reason why you should get the monk set in Ascension first is because the monk set you get in raids will not come with the simple enchantment. The monk set could also help you in raids a little bit. Collecting the monk set can also let you enchant your items with Tempest Rage

2. Selecting your equipment

While the monk set may help you a little bit, the equipment there are far from the best items for raids. Here are my suggestions for your equipment...

Weapon : I would suggest you to pick the Pneumo Fists as your weapon. It has a very high damage. It also a cheap gem weapon. If you don't have the weapon, then Monk's Katars would be a decent substitute.

Armor : You can pick any armor you have that you like.

Helm : Same thing with armor

Ranged Weapon : The Needles or the Circular Saws should do the trick.

Magic : Torturer's Rage is a very strong gem magic. It is one of the strongest gem equipment in SF2. The downside of this magic is that it's quite expensive so you could settle for Monk's Amulet or any magic (you have) you're comfortable with.

3. Selecting your enchantments

I would highly suggest that you enchant every equipment you picked with Frenzy + Tempest Rage.

4. Have Fun

My last tip for you is to simply have fun and enjoy fighting the Eternals of the Underworld.

These are all of my basic tips I can give you for raids. If you have something to say, then feel free to reply.
