Many of the rules governing a raid game are detailed in the section on multiplayer games. Additional rules specific to raids can be found below.

Single-Player Team (the "raid boss")

In raid scenarios, one team has only one player. Typically, the single-player team is a computer AI opponent with special cards and rules, simulating the boss encounter of a raid dungeon. This "raid boss" begins the game with all quests in reach and therefore more power as quests are completed. Additionally, the boss starts with two power plus one per opponent rather than the standard 3 power. The boss draws more cards in each of his draw phases, equal to one plus one additional for each opponent (in a Four-man Raid, the boss draws five cards each turn). The boss can't lose the game by running out of cards in his deck -- he reshuffles his discard pile to make a new deck.

Hosted Raids

If you have an avatar that has the special keyword Raid Boss, you can create a hosted raid. You are the single-player team, and you play against either two or four other players. As the raid boss, you receive all the benefits that an AI raid boss opponent would receive.
