New Raid - Limit for battles

MaruMaru

What bugs me most about the new raid besides the rewards is that you can only use 5 squads. Did this little detail exist anywhere in previous raid announcements? They had no problem announcing the needed factions.

By far and away not my biggest concern - but it is a little curious that CG only wants us to build 5 teams for this raid lol. It would seem smarter to encourage us to build all these factions as fully as we can.

Why have a limit of five when the maximum amount of teams you can have is eight?

Turns out I'm wrong though. My battles replenished after a day. But not the teams.

This is a “bug” that they’re looking at fixing 🙄

I mean, it really does seem like it would be in their best interest to keep it like this, because it incentivizes building 8 teams instead of 5…

Yea and there is no point to limit the amount of battles when the max is 8. Even if they change it in the future, I don't see a plausible reason to forcefully pace it over days.

It's probably to maintain the reward structure among future raids. If guilds can technically field 8 teams in one raid, but can field no more than 5 in another, they would have to adjust the reward track per raid. Fixing it at a guaranteed minimum value and then building factions around a raid that would provide at least that many teams prevents the need to change the scoring system per raid.

More like incentivises abandoning the raid and the squads needed to play it altogether.

what’s the point of a 3 day raid that even the top rosters can only hit 8 times over the course of the event?

Is anyone going to bother continueing building their Jawa and tusken teams?

If it stays the way it is, I won’t be.
