New Raid Rewards: Are they Game-Changers?

With the new world raid taking place in Las Vegas, most players are focused on the fights and might not have checked out the spoils. Sure, there are some of the standard fair drops.

At the top tier, we have two very nice cards.



I for one am looking forward to seeing the animation for the Robo Blast.

Along with these, we have some cards that have appeared before: Pyrotechnic Force, Frozen Aegis, Net Attack, Retro Warrior, GHz Dash, Fireworks, and Metal Skin.


Jingle Bombs showing back up is a good gear option to return, allowing the potential for multiple pieces of wrist gear to be collected.

Quick Draw legs is a new addition with the tech themed aspect of the drops for this raid. Both the Leg slot and the Wrist Slot offer additional Tech Damage, which can make for a lethal combination with the right build and opponent.



While the Rocket Boots are currently available in the Armory store, the Robot Body is a new Core that has caught several players attention. What is this "Strike Steal +800" ability?

With a 3% drop rate per 4,200 damage, this will be an infrequent pearl to fall in some player's laps. 


The consumables are some of the more interesting additions to the mix.

For instance, with PAINguin's rapid growth spurt before last league war, imaging what he could do with this new Hero Cape?

Going from 10MP to 30 MP when leveling is a boon that, if done wisely, could garner some useful boons. And at only 400 damage needed for a 10% chance, some low-level characters could collect a few of these to help there power climb.

These have me very intrigued.



Robo Hench could be a nice savings option for players who do not use Facebook. The Key Chain will be a great asset to the players who span the missions. But for PvP events, the Seeing Eye is going to be very, very useful when it comes to potentially bringing down that opponent who has stood in your way on the KOTM ladder or in League Wars.

The other consumables are familiar twists on items available in the last two holiday themed raids.



Raid Vanguard seems a bit out of place, based on the text of the card. 


I would hazard to guess that this card appeared early in the game, but hasn't been seen in a few raid. This gives card collectors new to the game an opportunity to gain a card their set may be missing.

Good luck collecting as many of these items as you can. The rewards for this raid seem potentially good for all levels of players. Get them while you can.
