MIHAWK RAID:

DOUBLE GEAR 3 LUFFY TEAM

BATTLE TIPS:

• Stall as needed until Usopp’s special is at 3 turns or less (Floors 1-3)
  • Save Usopp Special for Mihawk Boss
• Kill Sea Stallion first to avoid lock (Floor 4)
• Make an effort to get STR Orbs on Luffy/Arlong BEFORE Mihawk
• Use Usopp Special on Mihawk and burst down with Gear 3 Luffy/Arlong
• If you get really unlucky with orbs/landing perfects, that is what Jozu and Alvida are here for 😀

Benefits:

• Tanky with Jozu and Alvida Specials
• Great damage output

Drawbacks:

• No orb manipulation (Not exactly necessary here though)

Alternates:

Double Gear 2 Luffy Captains

• Less Damage, but still works

Double Zeff Captains (Include STR Fighter Subs)

• High damage, not as tanky
• Without the needed STR Orbs on subs, may be more difficult to kill

IVANKOV RAID: 

F2P TEAM: DOUBLE ASURA ZORO

Monster Chopper instead of Luffy Sub (High Level Special)

MONSTER CHOPPER RAID: 

F2P TEAM: DOUBLE ENEL (Max Specials NOT Needed)

BATTLE TIPS:

• Easy win with this team, stall as needed and kill boss in a few turns with QCK Orbs up

Benefits: 

• TONS of stall room due to Enel captain ability (Boss and other Mobs)
• Easy QCK Orbs from Kaku and Hina Special 
• Extra Stall time for security with Usopp

Drawbacks:

Replace Usopp Sub with Ganfall or Pell (Max LVL)

HERACLES RAID: 

F2P TEAM: INT HAWK (Friend Captain) / DEX HAWk

*ONLY USE DOFFY SUB IF SPECIAL IS MAX*

BATTLE TIPS:

• Wait to get INT orbs until after the Heracles Debuff wears off
• Use DEX Mihawk special immediately to eliminate 30% health
• Wait until boss buffs and delay with Usopp
• LAST: Burst down with INT Orbs/Specials

Benefits: 

• A lot of control
• Orb Control, stalling, and flat DAMAGE

Drawbacks:

• Heracles has Orb Debuff on INT at the beginning of the battle

Alternates:

Can Change Doffy Sub for Mr. 3 or Vista

• More damage
• CAVEAT: Lower chance of INT Orbs

BLACKBEARD RAID: 

DOUBLE ENEL TEAM (MAX Special not Needed)

*HANCOCK IS NOT NEEDED, JUST EXTRA HEALING AFTER ENEL SPECIAL*

BATTLE TIPS:

• At least LVL 1 Anti-Lock and Anti-Despair will help a ton
• Stall on STR Unit for as many turns as needed (Floor 1)*optional*
• Stall on all units as needed (Floor 2) *optional*
• Burst through Floor 3
• Use Usopp Special and stall as long as needed on INT Unit *Recommended*

• Make sure you keep QCK Orbs up on Hancock/Enels for Boss with Thatch/Kaku
• Use Enel Specials UNDER 20% HP (Heal with Marco/Hancock for safety after)

Benefits: 

• Unlimited stalling time with Enel, which is why special level doesn’t matter with this team
• Easy burst kill

Drawbacks:

• None.. Just don’t use Enel specials early or you die

Alternates:

Can switch Hancock with Marco (Max Special not Needed)

• Extra Full Heal

Can switch Thatch with Hina to lock orbs

• Potentially less damage, depends on your orb luck with Kaku/Thatch

AOKIJI RAID: 

DOUBLE SENGOKU TEAM

BATTLE TIPS:

• HIGHLY ADVISED to have at least Level 2 Anti-lock and Level 1 Anti-Despair 
• Stall on Penguins and Evolvers (Floor 1 & 2)
• Recommended to eliminate this stage with an ability like Thousand Sunny. If not, anti-despair is necessary. (Floor 3)
• Kill Sea Stallion first, deal with the rest as best as possible (Floor 4)
• Normal chain attack until right above 50% HP (BOSS)
• Set up orbs and specials to burst for the kill. (BOSS)

Benefits: 

• VERY high damage with Sengoku, makes bursting the boss down a lot easier.
• Full heal from Marco (optional) in case you get into a bind
• LOTS of orb manipulation (Hard not to have beneficial orbs against Aokiji)

Drawbacks:

• Solid team for me, can’t think of any serious drawbacks. Let me know if you can!

Alternates:

Can replace Sengoku captains with Double Gild. Tesoro (High special preferred)

• Less damage, but a hell of a lot easier to obtain than Sengoku!
• GREAT special to get PSY orbs on all units

Garp instead of any units here (High special NEEDED)

• Garp preferred as a Sub against this boss, but possible either way!
• Great orb manipulation and damage

GARP RAID: 

DOUBLE VISTA TEAM

BATTLE TIPS:

• Kill the stage normally, short stalling from the 2 (or 3) turn enemy (Floor 1)
• Leave the Sea Stallion alive, Only stall for 1 turn on it (Floor 2)
• Kill Helmeppo first, stall on the turtle with a 4-hit combo unit (Floor 3)
• Kill back unit first (it has low HP), then stall Coby for 1 turn and kill (Floor 4)
• Use any damaging specials, set up orbs, and burst to kill (BOSS)
• Garp Rotation: Turn 1-3: 3k damage, Turn 4: 18k, Turn 5: 3k, Turn 6+: 10k each

Benefits: 

• Decent amount of orb manipulation to burst down Garp within 4 turns
• High damage on all units (apart from Noland but he’s only there to boost)
• Tons of HP from Vista Captain Ability

Drawbacks:

• Apart from the high HP, not a lot of survivability (healing, damage reduction)

Alternates:

Double Mihawk captains

• Removes 50% HP first turn
• Easy kill on Coby 

Alvida/Perona/Smoker

• Damage reduction subs, useful here if you have them instead of these units!

Hina

• Great orb lock unit, USE IF YOU HAVE HER!

KIZARU RAID:

DOUBLE MIHAWK SLASHER TEAM

BATTLE TIPS:

• Stall on Back/Middle Row STR by letting it attack once (Floor 1)
• Kill Seahorse and INT units on sides, let lobster hit once and stall (Floor 2)
• Kill QCK Pacifista if you get it FIRST TURN or it will paralyze (Floor 3)
• Use Zoro to reduce combo hit on STR Pacifista, don’t let it hit you (Floor 3)
• Damage with normal hits, let Kizaru hit you once (BOSS)
• Use Koza, DEX MIHAWK, Zeff, and Doffy Specials, NOT INT HAWK (BOSS)
• Kill him and after he revives, use INT Hawk special and victory! (BOSS)

Benefits:

• Great Orb Manipulation
• INT Hawk special to prevent us from dealing with Kizaru’s revive debuffs/buffs

Drawbacks:

• No recovery or overall sustainability (i.e if you mess up it’s over without gems c:)

Alternates:

Mr.1 instead of Koza

• F2P alternative that would slightly reduce damage (2,900,00-2,400,00)

Miss Doublefinger instead of Koza

• Another F2P damage booster option(1.5x like Koza but not a slasher)
• BE WARY OF STR PACIFISTA ON STAGE 3 (Make sure to have orb on IntHawk)

Conclusion

The intention of this is to simply provide a small resource to get a quick recap on each raid boss and get the general idea of how to beat them. Thank you for looking at my little guide, I hope it proves to be useful in any way. Keep in mind that I am constantly updating this, and almost all of the P2P teams here have some F2P alternatives that I’ve outlined. By no means are these the best teams, just the ones I use!
