Beyond the three clan bosses and the Doom Tower, Raid’s progression runs through dungeons, the Cursed City, Grim Forest, four PvP modes including real-time Live Arena, and limited-time fusions that are the main way to earn many champions.

How fusions work

  • ◆

    Fusion is a Portal feature that combines several champions into one stronger champion; the Portal also has a Fragment tab where 100 fragments summon a champion.

    Plarium
  • ◆

    Fusions now usually need champions earned from specific events and tournaments during the event window, plus potions to ascend them.

    ayumilove.net
  • ◆

    There are three fusion formats: Traditional (collect Rare/Epic champions from events, rank and ascend them, then fuse), Fragment, and Hybrid/Mixed.

    hellhades.com
  • ◆

    Traditional example — Theimios the Everdrinker (Sept 2026 Oktoberfest fusion): 16 Rares are fused into 4 Epics, which are raised to Rank 5 level 50 before the final fusion; it must be done before the timer ends.

    hellhades.com
  • ◆

    With Fragment fusions, unfinished fragments can be completed later in a future Champion Chase or Clan vs Clan tournament.

    hellhades.com
  • ◆

    Champions fused in 2026 include Kassandra, Noldua the Gloaming, Pelops the Victor, Mavara the Web Diviner, Masahiro the Bell Monk, Folan Silverhart, Haggibah the Nestmaid, Khamir Scald-Eye and The Cowardly Lion.

    ayumilove.net
  • ◆

    Pelops the Victor's 7th-anniversary fusion ran 5–21 March 2026; he can also be pulled from Ancient, Primal and Sacred shards.

    Plarium
  • ◆

    Update 11.30 (March 2026) added the option to change a Fusion Event's target champion.

    Plarium
  • ◆

    Fusion Tokens are earned by finishing a fusion without swapping; swap costs are 3/2/1 tokens for Tier 1/2/3 champions.
