You know, the only reason we're getting a raid week in the middle of the month is because they wanted to have it happen before KH3 releases in Japan. If it were Global that they were taking into consideration, ours would be next week. This kinda doesn't work in their favor if you ask me. We had 2 raid weeks in a row for Christmas and New Year's, we get one week off, and now we're right back to this hellish event.

Anyway, Riku Replica's back, and I don't recommend trying for him because, once again, he's non-mercy unless you pay for VIP. Not worth it at this point. If you already have a Riku but need new traits for him, it might be worth your while to pull once or twice. But no more than that: remember, chasing traits is never a good idea.

Why do the raid bosses seem more powerful than normal?

They recently revamped the bosses to be stronger because of the increased buff cap. As it was, people were using +15/-15 strategies on bosses that were only ready to handle +7/-7 setups, which lead to people killing them within about 3 attacks (buffers included).

Okay.  I think I should get stronger.

Yeah, it's a really lame way to go about things.

"We're making the boss stronger! What's that? You can't keep up? Well here, here's a new medal that can make you strong enough to keep up! Mercy? What's that? Oh, it's that thing you can only get by paying real-world cash. This is 100% ok and there's nothing wrong with it, nope!"

They should just give us these metals for cheap or reduce their VIP price.  $14.99 is too much for just one week.
