レイド
Meaning: 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.
Examples
- 今夜レイドあるから早めにオンラインにしといて。 今晚有团本,早点上线准备好。Esta noche hay raid, así que conéctate pronto.오늘 밤 레이드 있으니까 일찍 접속해둬.
- このレイド、8人揃わないとクリアできないよ。 这个团本凑不齐8个人就没法通关。Esta raid no se puede superar si no estamos los 8.이 레이드, 8명 안 모이면 클리어 못 해.
- 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。 打团本Boss花了2个小时,但超级开心。Tardamos 2 horas en derrotar al jefe de la raid, pero fue increíblemente divertido.레이드 보스 잡는 데 2시간 걸렸는데 최고로 재밌었다.
