Thank you very much, That helped a lot! So do the leaders of the guild decide what level tier the raid will be when they activate it? Also I'm working hard on getting a 7 star character and should have lumi fairly soon. The guild I'm in seems to know what they are doing so would I be better off staying till I get my 7 star character? Would I even be much help and even be able to contribute any with just one 7 star character?

Yes. The Leader of the guild (I'm a leader of a guild btw so I know) choose a certain tier raid based on the tier level which basically means Star requirement. As far as what staying till you get a 7* character, it depends. There's a ton of guilds out there. If like you said in your first post that the guild you're in isn't doing raids you can participate in, then I'd say join a different guild that does ones you can play in as well. You'll grow more as a player like that cause you'll get much needed resources that you wouldn't get if you stay in your current guild cause you can't participate in your current guilds raids. And yes to the 7* character being help. All characters help just like all members help (typically) in raids. But once again if your are able to participate in them. It sounds to me like you need a different guild. Trust me. I'm a level 85 player so I would know. Hope that helps too. Good luck! ;)

Thanks for your detailed response! I'm new and just trying to learn as much as I can cause I'm really enjoying the game! I'm close to getting a 7 star character and have many other characters at 4 stars and working on those too ( I'm building a rebel team first). Would I just be ok with staying in the guild I'm in without being behind too much? I like the guild I'm currently in and have left it once trying to find another lower level tier guild but couldn't really find one I liked. Also are the rewards from raids totally different on lower tier raids. Also how many different raids are there?

You're more than welcome! I actually like helping people out. lol.

Once again it depends. What are the main majority of levels of the people that are in your guild? I'd say it's ok I guess for now since you like your guild but make sure your able to participate in the raids that are done. If you even have one 7* character you'd be able to participate in all raids with that one character and still get a reward at the end.

Yes lower raids give lower credit rewards but give gear just different based on what you need at certain points on the game.

There are (shock! Lol) 7 tiers of possible raids to be done. One for each character star requirement. Characters stars range from 1-7* so logically there are 7 possible raids. Example... if your guild starts a Tier 4 raid then you can only use characters that are 4* or higher in that specific raid.

Hope that helps ya more. Any other questions? I'd be more than glad to help further. ;)

Thank you, you saved me countless google searches! Lol
A few other questions I have is if I stay in my guild could I just ask the guild leaders to start a lower tier raid so I and other lower levels could participate? The members of my guild have some lower and mid level players but the leaders are high level players in the 70's. Also if I just stayed in my guild till I received a 7 star (I'm getting close!) would I receive as beneficial items to help rank up my characters as I would from participating in lower tier raids? Also how is tickets earned? When I go to my squad it says I have contributed tickets, just wondering how I done that lol. I noticed that one of the raids gives you Solo shards, do the lower tier raids give Solo shards or a different character shards?
