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 Adventurer, Empyrean Allied Forces, and Eternal Flame facing off against Bakal 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's layout, albeit on a higher scale of difficulty that requires a heavy amount 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 defeating Bakal is the main objective to succeeding, three portions of his HP bar (55%, 30%, and 10%) are locked out temporarily when confronting him. In order to free up those remaining bars, the Great Dragon Trio must be awakened first and defeated within their respective Palace Zones, which are mandatory keys to continuing fighting Bakal into his second phase.
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, that goes directly into 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".
Hismar's territory is located around the lower route's Dragon Claw Entrance Operation Base, this leads into Prison of Mortal Combat → Ruin's Flower Garden → Beserk Dragon's Destroyed Palace.
Spirazzi's territory is located around the upper route's Dragon Fang (Dungeon) Entrance Operation Base, this leads into Faded Gold Depot → Hallow Soul Depot → Death Dragon's Soul Palace.
Skasa's territory is located behind Bakal's Main Hall and can also be accessed from either going through Dragon Fang or Claw's routes. This also leads into Fixed Pond → Dark Cloud Tower → Ice Dragon's Frozen Palace.
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 Monster, either 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, unless the party involved obtains Status Immunity buffs from Mid-bosses is one way to help against the Trio. Once defeated, they'll transfer their powers over to Bakal during his battle at certain intervals, regardless of which phase he's in.
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. Except for Gherda, the other three functions as a Fiend War Logistics Base, which lets them generate Marcher Units bein either Rage Dragon Brute or Steel Dragon Tank , that'll make their way towards an Allied Operation Base by one minute per slot to attack, summon mobs within that area and greatly increases the Conflagration Gauge by 25% if successfully invaded the base. Defeating any of these four bosses grants access to a temporary post with the Flughafen, but keep in mind that they'll regenerate after roughly 15 minutes have gone by, meaning you'll have to fight them again.
Party Buffs
These buffs only occur whenever Red/Yellow/Green Parties are defeating bosses. It's immediately applied for a temporary 360 - 480 seconds (roughly around 6 - 8 minutes), towards the party who defeated them, and is able to help against battling either Bakal or the Great Dragon Trio. If running on Hard Mode, some of those immunity buffs may have their duration reduced.

King of Dragons' Conflagration Gauge
- Apart from the Raid's maximum time limit, Bakal will begin to gather power from his Great Dragons' spheres throughout its 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(Normal)/7000(Hard). 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.

Bakal Hard Mode
The Global Client would receive a much tougher version of Bakal Raid that would be implemented within a September 19th, 2023 update. Outside the increased Adventurer Fame requirement, there are several changes to make this a far more challenging experience for players.
Differences from Normal Mode

- Bakal awakens after 7 minutes have gone by.
- All three Great Dragons awakens at once when encountering a Gatekeeper boss.
- Defeating Marchers grants Immunity buffs instead of Commander ones.
- Minibosses respawn after 3 minutes, and defeating them grants a stronger +85% Berserk/Death/Ice Dragon + Bakal damage buff.
- Juvenil's Secure Retreats increased to 2.
- Dragonoid Warrior removed and replaced with Rotund, who offers Commander buffs.
- Anti-Bakal weapon can be enabled through defeating any Great Dragons while fighting Bakal, able to reduce half of his Neutralize Gauge.
- All Great Dragons and Bakal have increased health and adjusted attack patterns.
Hard Mode Rewards
Rewards accumulated from Normal Mode remains intact. However, there is a newer addition upon clearing Hard Mode, as players can obtain
Cruel King of Dragons' Anvil in the Raid Shop.
Total War
Prior to the release of Bakal Raid, The Machine Revolution: Total War would be launched on a February 2023 patch. Total War can be seen as a heavily scaled-down version that only features only six bosses and seperate mechanics.
