RAID MANAGER, the fantasy strategy RPG loved worldwide for its original content and healer-led raids, returns with deeper combat, richer tactics, and more ways to collect and develop heroes. † A healer at the heart of your raid You are Lexia: healer and raid leader. Your tank holds the line. Damage dealers seize openings. You keep them alive to finish the fight. Who gets healed first? A big heal now, or hold out longer? Save a companion in danger, or prepare for the next attack? Victory isn't just about damage. It's about who you save, when, and how. † Feel every spell you cast Don't just tap a button and wait. Read the battlefield, choose your target, and cast the right skill at the right moment. Feel the tension before a heal lands, the relief of saving a companion on the brink, and the rush of pulling a crumbling raid back together. Here, healing is where the action is. † Become a true raid leader Do more than heal once combat starts. Scout upcoming enemies and their skills, assign targets for pre-battle skills, and plan your tactics. During combat, move companions directly out of danger or into position. You neither micromanage every hero nor leave everything to auto-battle. Companions fight on their own, fulfilling their roles. You read the battle and step in when it counts. † Conquer dungeons with real tactics Strong heroes and bigger numbers won't win every fight. Who takes the hits? Which enemy falls first? Which skills must you interrupt, and which attacks can you withstand? As battles grow tougher, your lineup, positioning, skill order, and timing matter more. That first hard-earned clear of a dungeon you once thought impossible—that's the feeling RAID MANAGER 2 is built for. † Recruit heroes. Forge your raid. Recruit heroes with different roles and skills. Improve levels and gear, develop individual skills and talents, and strengthen talents that empower the entire raid. Explore dungeons with unfamiliar heroes in Random Hero Raid. Earn their trust and discover opportunities to recruit new companions. It's not just about drawing a powerful character. Fight together, grow together, and make this raid your own. † Loot auctions in real time Great gear drops. It isn't yours yet. In Gold Auction Raid, guests from your dungeon run bid for the spoils. Watch them drive up prices—or bid for the gear you want. Let an item go and pocket the Gold they pay, or spend big to claim it yourself. Guests short on Gold may offer unusual bids with special terms. The fight ends, but the tension doesn't. Reading your companions over a coveted piece of loot is another kind of raid strategy. † Grow stronger for greater challenges Earn Talent Points in the Trial Dungeon to develop skills and talents. Recruit heroes, gear them up, strengthen their skills and talents, then challenge tougher dungeons. † Watch your raid prove its strength At first, your companions barely lasted seconds without your healing. After countless battles together, the raid you've nurtured begins clearing old dungeons with ease. Watch them fulfill their roles, step in only when needed, and run conquered dungeons again to gather loot. Seeing the raid you kept alive grow strong is a reward all its own. Your companions are ready. Lead them into a real raid.
