Bakal Raid Normal Mode

Released in April 2023's Season 7 - Act.05 Patch, The Machine Revolution: Bakal Raid is the overall, seventh raid in Dungeon Fighter Online that is heavily focused around the Cruel Dragon King during his centuries long, tyrannical reign over Empyrean. Unlike previous Apostle-themed raids which has the standard two phase formats, Bakal Raid only contains a single phase that's identical to Fiend War, albeit on a higher scale of difficulty that requires a lot of coordination and teamwork from all three parties.

A single player can create a Raid Group by speaking to Commander Irine while in the Raid Channel. The Raid leader is also able to organize their raid's parties and are responsible for coordinating their parties' objectives. Once everything is fully prepared, the leader can initiate the raid by speaking to Irine again, when every member has fulfilled the entrance requirements.

Although the Raid's main objective involves defeating Bakal entirely, some portions of his main HP bar is only available during that boss encounter, while the rest of it is locked out and in order to free up those and continue fighting him, it is mandatory to defeat the Great Dragon Trio (Hismar, Spirazzi and Skasa) in their respective Palace Zones, which are the keys for reaching those requirements.

Party Composition

Like with Prey or Ozma, the amount of participants for Bakal Raid is 12 which are comprised of Red, Yellow & Green parties. There is no specific in-game designation for who belongs in which party, but the traditional player convention is to make the red party the strongest, followed by yellow, and then green party. As with the standard raid structures, It is recommended that every party contains:

The 3 parties typically have different expected responsibilities, but no party is locked out of any particular dungeon, so this is up to the raid leader's discretion.

Battlefield Progression & Dungeons

For the entire raid's "home base" of operations is also located within Sky's Wish Gate's entrance, much like with Total War's environment, albeit - much different from its toned-down counterpart. Sky's Wish Gate is split into a total of 16 dungeons areas on the map that's broken up into various different zones and routes alike, where all parties are able to traverse through with ease, but will always remain in-dungeon mode until retreating. The middle route is the Cruel King of Dragons' Road, which goes directly towards Cruel King of Dragons' Main Hall where Bakal's Palace is located, housing the Dragon King himself. Party leaders also have the ability to teleport their team towards other bases through the usage of a "Flughafen".

The Upper Route is the Dragon Fang (Dungeon) Entrance Operation Base, this leads into Faded Gold DepotHallow Soul DepotDeath Dragon's Soul Palace.

The Lower Route is the Dragon Claw Entrance Operation Base, this leads into Prison of Mortal CombatRuin's Flower GardenBeserk Dragon's Dragon Palace.

Located behind the Main Hall and can also be accessed from either going through Dragon Fang or Claw's routes is Ice Dragon's Frozen Palace, which leads into Fixed PondDark Cloud Tower.

The raid leader is able to use a tool on the map to designate certain dungeons as the next target for each party (red, yellow, green). Players should pay attention to these map markers, particularly if they are not using a third-party voice chat program, as it can be difficult for the raid leader to type to communicate while trying to clear dungeons.

Great Dragon Trio & Sphere Effects

  • When first confronting a Gatekeeper boss in their respective zones, Hismar, Spirazzi or Skasa is randomly awakened, automatically activating their Spheres. Functioning similarly like Total War's penalties upon entering any of the awoken Great Dragon Trio's Palace Zones, they'll begin casting a persistent Abnormal Status effect that can potentially hinder the party's progress on whoever's battling them. They can also interfere during Bakal's battle at certain intervals, regardless of which phase he's in. Obtaining Status Immunity buffs from defeated bosses is one way to help against the Trio.

Gatekeepers & Marchers

  • Before reaching either Bakal and his Great Dragons, they are each guarded by one of four Gatekeeper Dragonoid Boss Monsters consisting of; Magic Dragon Basilisk, Nine-tailed Blona, Gherda of the Ice and Wicked Dragon Nympha Excluding Gherda, the other three functions as a Fiend War Logistics Base, which lets them generate Marcher Units No Icon.png Rage Dragon Brute or No Icon.png Steel Dragon Tank that'll make their way towards an allied base by one minute per slot to attack, summon mobs within that area and greatly increases the Conflagration Gauge by 25% if successfully invaded. Defeating any of these four bosses grants access to a temporary post with the Flughafen, but keep in mind that they'll regenerate after 14 minutes 30 seconds has gone by, meaning you'll have to fight them again.

Party & Commander Buffs

There are two types of buffs added in the raid that offers various effects when certain Dragonoid bosses are defeated:

  • Party Buffs only occur when defeating bosses, it's immediately applied for a temporary 6 - 8 minute towards the party who defeated them, that can help against battling either Bakal or the Great Dragon Trio:
    • Undying Courage - Grants immunity to Poison within the Death Dragon's Sphere.
    • Men vs. Giant - Grants immunity to Stun within the Berserk Dragon's Sphere.
    • Volcanic Passion - Grants immunity to Freeze within the Ice Dragon's Sphere.
    • Time to Extinguish the Fire - Berserk/Death/Ice Dragon - Increases +30% damage on Hismar/Spirazzi/Skasa and +20% on Bakal.
    • Desire for Freedom - Grants immunity to all three harmful effects within all the Spheres.
    • Overflowing Vitality - Increases all Defense. All Def. +10%
    • Awake Mind - Increases cooldown recovery. Cooldown recovery +10%
    • Rear Support - Increases your Consumable use limit by 5.
    • Reinforcement Request - Randomly casts a Commander buff.
  • Commander Buffs on the other hand, are shared among the entire raid and only party leaders can use them through hotkey commands. (~ 1 - 5)
    • Noble Duty - Sarah Wane encourages you. Grants immunity to all Abnormal Status effects for 60 sec. (Not applicable to special attacks from dragons)
    • Strategic Supply - Rosa Jurgen provides you with supplies. Increases Life Token limit by 3.
    • Decisive Shot - Spitfire Flo provides fire support. Increases damage by 20% for 30 sec.
    • Secure Retreat - Juvenil helps you make a strategic retreat. Return immediately without penalties. (Cruel King of Dragons' Main Hall's Encroachment penalty excluded)
    • Empyreans' Wishes - Commander Irine prays for her forces. Grants Invincibility for 10 sec.

King of Dragons' Conflagration Gauge

  • Although Bakal Raid does not have a specific time limit to clear, The Dragon King will begin to gather power from his Great Dragons' spheres throughout the raid's progression via Conflagration Gauge that's on the UI's top right, screen starting off at 0%. This gauge will only start increasing from specific conditions through points that total up to 8000. All three parties must coordinate on doing their respective tasks to prevent Bakal's Conflagration Gauge from reaching 100%, or that operation is considered a failure.
    • +2000 for enemy troops reaching an Operation Base.
    • +100 every 10 seconds if nobody is fighting Bakal.
    • +20 every 10 seconds when a party is battling Bakal.
    • +50 for 1 minute if nobody is battling Hismar, Spirazzi or Skasa.
