Skills & Raids Guides & Walkthroughs
Every tutorial in one place — from first launch to endgame.
Welcome to the Skills & Raids guides hub. The game is live on Steam as of July 27, 2026, and these pages help you go from your first extraction to confident endgame clears.
Start here
New players should begin with Getting Started — it walks through your three-character party, early objectives, and your first successful extraction.
If you are installing today during the launch sale, pair that guide with Controls so pause, targeting, and movement feel natural before your first raid.

Tips for using these guides
Skills & Raids rewards players who read enemy mechanics and plan during pause. Bookmark the pages relevant to your current goal — early survival, faster clears, or safer extractions — and cross-link between combat, map areas, and extraction guides as your gear improves.
After major patches, check Updates first, then revisit combat and tier list pages for balance changes.
