Awaken Fruits Way Faster With a Team
Fruit raids are the fastest way to awaken your fruit — but the timer is brutal solo. Here's how a team clears all five islands, beats the Raid Boss, and banks max fragments.
Awakening turns a good fruit into a great one, and raids are how you pay for it. Every raid you clear feeds fragments toward upgrading your abilities — but raids run on a timer, and grinding through five islands alone is a race you'll often lose right before the boss.
Teaming up flips that math. With a squad splitting each island, you clear with time to spare and stack far more completed raids per hour. Here's how to run raids the efficient way.
How raids and awakening work
You start a raid by buying a Microchip from the Mysterious Scientist — 100,000 money or any physical fruit for a Basic raid — then stepping onto the raid pad. From there you fight through five islands, each tougher than the last, clearing every enemy to unlock the next. The fifth island ends with a Raid Boss that uses an awakened fruit. Beat it while holding the matching fruit and you're teleported to the Awakening Room (L'Église de Prophétie), where you spend fragments to awaken a move.
Awakenings aren't cheap. Most fruits cost 14,500 fragments to fully awaken, and awakening every fruit in the game runs to 167,800 fragments — so you'll be running a lot of raids. Note that Basic raids cap at four players, and the two Advanced raids (Phoenix and Dough) need a special chip bought with 1,000 fragments or a fruit worth over 1,000,000.

Why a team clears raids faster
The timer is the real enemy. Solo, a slow island or a bad spawn can eat your clock and cost you the whole raid right at the boss. With four players spreading out and clearing enemies in parallel, islands fall fast and you reach the boss with plenty of time left.
That leftover time is literally worth fragments: a completed raid pays 300 fragments plus 4.5 for every second remaining, capped at 1,000. A fast team clear hits that cap, while a slow run that fails leaves you with just 300. Fewer failed raids also means fewer wasted chips and a much smoother grind toward your awakening.
- Bring the fruit you actually want to awaken into the raid.
- Spread across each island so enemies clear in parallel, not single-file.
- Save cooldowns for the fifth-island Raid Boss so it dies fast.
- Finish quickly — leftover time converts directly into fragments (cap 1,000).
Setting up a raid squad
On the Team Finder, create a Raid request, set your player count (up to four for a Basic raid), and paste your server link so everyone teleports into the same game. In the description, note if you're farming a specific awakening or just want fast clears — it helps the right players join. Remember you can join a raid from level 700, but hosting your own needs level 1100.
Use squad chat to sync up before you start: confirm everyone's in the server, everyone's ready, and everyone knows the plan. A 30-second check beats a failed raid every time.

Frequently asked questions
No — but the raid must be themed to the fruit you want to awaken, which is the chip you buy. If you finish a raid holding a fruit that doesn't match its theme, you're sent home instead of to the Awakening Room. Teammates can bring any fruit to help you clear; they just won't awaken from your raid.
A completed raid pays 300 fragments plus 4.5 for each second left on the timer, capped at 1,000. Failing still gives 300 (as little as 90 if you idle), but dying gives nothing. Fully awakening every fruit costs 167,800 fragments, so fast clears add up.
Almost always the timer. Solo or slow squads get stuck on an island and run out of time before the boss. A faster team that spreads out and clears each island in parallel fixes this.
Post a Raid request on the Team Finder with your server link and fill up to four slots. Sort by Most Needed to find squads that are one player away from starting.
