意味

Raid — a large-scale cooperative battle requiring multiple players to coordinate against powerful enemies.

Borrowed from English 'raid,' this term describes the pinnacle of group content in online games — challenging battles that require coordination, strategy, and multiple players working together. Raids are often the highest-difficulty content available, requiring hours of practice and precise execution. The term also appears in mobile games like Pokémon GO for cooperative boss battles.

例文

1. 今夜レイドあるから早めにオンラインにしといて。

3. レイドのボス倒すのに2時間かかったけど最高に楽しかった。
