Raids

How a raid works

Golf Champs reads every card the moment it lands. When a round has something rare in it, a raid fires: every other player in the group loses a slice of their balance, and the raider’s balance stays exactly where it is. Nobody claims anything. See the Raids guide.

• A raid can’t trigger anyone on its own. It can push them into the Danger Zone, and their next round (or the end of the period) decides it.
• Raids never double, whether on a Double Flag round or at a Major.
• Paused players aren’t hit.
• On a Champ Day, raids stay inside your four-ball.

Every handicap can raid

Universal raids fire for everyone: Birdie Streak, Eagle Raid, Hot Run, Dominant Run, Comeback Kid, Bogey-Free Run, Victory Lap, Net Eagle Double, Surf and Turf and Strong Handshake. The rest belong to a handicap tier, so each tier has targets it can realistically hit:

• Elite (5.0 and under): The Surgeon, On Fire.
• Low (5.1 to 10.0): Sharpshooter, The Closer, Clean Card.
• Mid (10.1 to 18.0): Par Machine, Hot Hands, Net Hat-Trick.
• High (18.1 and up): The Unicorn.

One raid is personal. If you’ve set a home course of your own, play a mate’s home course alongside them, with at least one side game ticked when your cards go in, and beat their stableford: only they lose a slice. See Home Turf.

The Raids screen

Open More, then Raids. SEASON RAIDS at the top counts the Raid Events, the Total Drained from everyone’s balances and the Players Hit. Then there are three tabs.

• Feed: every raid, newest first. Each shows who raided and what for, the date, what each player lost and how many players were hit.

• Damage Report: MOST DAMAGE GIVEN ranks the raiders and MOST DAMAGE TAKEN ranks who’s been hit. Tap a player to see it broken down by raid.
• How Raids Work: every raid, what sets it off, and how hard it hits in your group.
