Beast Raid, originally titled Skirmish Raid, is a seasonal game mode first introduced in the Theater of Lies update (v5.1)
Overview[]
In this mode, players try to defeat the boss as quickly as possible with their multiple Cookie teams by exploiting their weaknesses and avoiding their attacks. Similar to Guild Battle and Tropical Raids, the mode features bosses with massive health pools.
Players are allowed to prepare up to three different Cookie teams before battling a boss. They can battle the highlighted boss in certain difficulties, increasing the boss stats and the rewards earned.
During battle, players fight the boss with their selected teams as usual, with the ability to switch between them at any given time. Switching teams has a 20 second cooldown. Bosses have certain weaknesses that, when exploited enough, causes them to become vulnerable to more damage for a short duration.
Bosses have a wide variety of attacks and multiple phases, each with their own attack patterns and weaknesses. They will switch between these phases based on their remaining HP. Switching between the appropriate Cookie team allows players to take down the boss efficiently for each form.
Some boss abilities are extremely dangerous and must be dodged. When a boss prepares such an ability, Cookie skills are replaced with Action Buttons, featuring a formation that the Cookie team will take if it is chosen. Pressing one of these Action Buttons to have Cookies move into position and potentially dodge the ability completely. The area-of-effect of these abilities will be highlighted on Easy and Normal difficulty, but invisible on Hard difficulty.
If a player successfully defeats a boss, they'll earn rewards appropriate to the boss's difficulty. They'll earn a one-time reward as well if it's their first time to defeat the boss at that difficulty level. Quitting a battle before dealing any damage to the boss will return the ticket used.
Players are sorted into tier rankings for any given boss, with most tiers simply being reached by achieving a certain number of points earned after clearing a boss.
