New page

'''Rivals''' are fifteen rival survivor tribes that hold the valley, and raiding them is a late-game combat ladder that runs alongside [[Expeditions]]. The '''Rivals''' page opens at '''Expeditions level 5''', listed under the [[Map]] in the sidebar. Beat a tribe to call out the next; the ladder ends with the beta crew themselves, '''Mostly Harmless'''.

== How a raid works ==

A raid is a '''gauntlet''': you duel the tribe's war-party '''one fighter at a time''', with the chiefs held for last. Every exchange uses the real [[Hunting|combat]] rules — your defense, your [[Companions#Fighting alongside you (your pack)|pack]] soaking hits, and [[Cooking|auto-eat]] — so a raid is as dangerous as any hunt, and '''you can die out there''' (see [[Expeditions#Death and reclaiming gear|death]]).

* '''Retreating or falling resets the gauntlet''' — you start the tribe over from its first fighter.
* Only a '''victory''' starts the tribe's '''2-hour cooldown'''; a failed raid can be retried the moment you've patched up.
* The fight screen is the same [[Hunting|Battleground]] view — you on the left, the current opponent's card on the right (portrait, duel odds, damage range), with the whole war-party benched below: fallen fighters struck out, chiefs in gold.
* Find the tribes on the '''[[Map]]''': fifteen war-camps from the Grasslands mudflats to the heart of the [[Sundered Vale]]. Beat a tribe and your banner flies over its camp.

== Rewards ==

* '''War Banner''' — every tribe drops its own banner, a '''permanent +1 to expedition and raid score''' just for sitting in your [[Bank]]. All fifteen stack, so clearing the ladder is a standing power boost.
* '''Signature pieces''' — the six mid-ladder tribes that carry unique gear guarantee that piece on your '''first victory''' over them.
* '''Legendaries''' — Mostly Harmless guards three (see below).

== The tribe ladder ==

Tribes are fought in order; each win unlocks the next.

{| class="wikitable sortable"
! # !! Tribe !! First-win signature reward

| 1 || Mudfoot Clan || —
|-
| 2 || Berry Snatchers || —

|}

Every tribe additionally drops its '''War Banner'''. Mostly Harmless is the final rung — the game's beta crew, co-chiefs '''Keltar''' and '''Rook''' waiting at the end.

== Mostly Harmless legendaries ==

The three rarest rewards in the valley, guarded by the final tribe:

* '''The Towel''' — once per day, a killing blow no longer kills you: you come to at 1 HP with your gear intact.
* '''Don't Panic Pendant''' — auto-eaten meals heal '''+25%''' while it's in your Bank.
* '''Improbability Charm''' — every [[Expeditions|expedition]] has a '''10% chance''' to come home with double loot.

== Achievements ==

* '''Raider''' track — raids won: '''1 / 25 / 100''', with the '''Warchief''' title at the top.
* '''Mostly Harmful''' — defeat Mostly Harmless once for the title they earned for you.

See [[Achievements]] for the full list.

== See also ==

* [[Expeditions]] — the sibling combat activity; raids share its scoring
* [[Hunting]] — the combat rules a raid resolves with, including death
* [[Map]] — where the fifteen war-camps sit
* [[Equipment]] and [[Blueprints]] — the gear you'll want before the top of the ladder
