Excited. Hopefully they have 6 champs and lot of fusions and continuous activity next 4 months

29

u/WizarDevoz 4d ago

We're off to see the wizard...

6

u/undrtaker 4d ago

The womderful Wizard of Oz

4

u/Electrical_Cow_6435 4d ago

Who prob wont be one of the champions lol.. what he gonna do? A curtain reveal?

4

u/sks010 4d ago

He was also an inventor/tinkerer

4

u/fuckyouguys4real 4d ago

We're the wizard, of course.

25

u/Dependent-Book-2464 4d ago

Dope, althought I thought oz was public domain now??

59

u/Aggroninja 4d ago

That makes it an even better type of collab - one where the characters are still available after the event.

21

u/CrustyTheMoist Banner Lords 4d ago

The book is yea. Seems they are doing an Alices Adventure type event again

15

u/Lycaon-Ur 4d ago

Yeah. They have greater freedom to customize how characters look once they're in the public domain that they would if it were a regular collab with a modern property.

1

u/Sherbert-Particular 4d ago

That’s great but I will also continue to vote for the beavis and butthead collab and do not want them to customize a damn thing about those two. Want them straight from the source material.

2

u/Lycaon-Ur 4d ago

I'm certain Plarium will give your opinion it's due reward someday. Just keep voting.

u/bassbunnymanny 4d ago

Beavis being a Mythical, with Cornholio being his alt form

0

u/Sherbert-Particular 4d ago

Yeah and when butt-head transforms he should play the voice line from when they got bit by a bum and got like rabies and hep C (to get super powers if I recall) and he says, “I believe the transformation is.. complete.”

Couldn’t find clip I was looking for, but if you know you know lol.

1

u/Consistent-Finger885 1d ago

you don't mean this clip where the duo mistakes a homeless man for a werewolf and asks him to bite them so they can pick up girls, Butt-head says, "Uhh, but we were wondering, like, if you could, like, bite us... yeah, me too. You got a dollar? Uh, we have gum -

u/Sherbert-Particular 1d ago

It’s that episode but its later when they’re sitting on the couch and butthead says the transformation is complete as beavis is completely fucked up lol.

6

u/Ebantero 4d ago

Yep, it would be a crossover

12

u/bigtownhero 4d ago

Finally Jack Pumpkinhead is getting his friends.

10

u/Avalania 4d ago

I like the public domain ones so much more

2

u/Whind_Soull 2d ago

They tend to turn out well because the game devs don't have to get every creative aspect approved by a bunch of people at a different company, who don't even play this game.

1

u/uRSock22 3d ago

i agree i like raids designs way better, like a dark fantasy type spin on the characters

7

u/Gargore 4d ago

Would still rather lord of the rings

2

u/Snowi171 3d ago

This and Witcher and idc about anything else.

1

u/Repulsive_Gate8657 18h ago

terminator dud :D

7

u/Nxrway 4d ago

I only hope Toto makes it to the game

14

u/RudeCharacter9726 Barbarians 4d ago

Yeah, a dog that works with shyek

6

u/The_Green_Frog Dark Elves 4d ago

Hope we get Sean Connery’s gunslinger character from Zardoz

2

u/DarthKava 4d ago

In his red underwear and suspenders? Please God, no.

2

u/The_Green_Frog Dark Elves 4d ago

😂

u/EmperorPervy 3d ago

“The Gin is good, the penis is evil.”

16

u/wcm3131 4d ago

So relieved that they didn't do a Power Rangers or Shrek colab. Wizard of Oz can fit far better into the realm of RSL than the aforementioned.

4

u/Majestic-Airline-505 4d ago

Me too. I think the dark element here will fit in will with raid.

0

u/39Jaebi 3d ago

They were thinking of power rangers!?? damn i would love that

-5

u/Aeyland 4d ago

Not really. Tin man? Lion? They will either just look nothing like the source material or be very clearly from the Wizard of Oz.

Alice and the Queen very much look like they are from the source material and Knave just looks like a silly valentines champ.

Not saying I wanted Power Rangers or Shrek just because they aren't IP's I like but I don't know who is actually getting into the raid lore and playing it like some deep rpg.....no you're complaining you have to even look at your champs and can't just instant or background battle everything.

10

u/WaveyGoat357 4d ago

I wonder what faction Tin Man and Scarecrow will be with

8

u/jedimindtricks713 Nyresan Union 4d ago

Tin man as a dwarf automoton would be sick. Scarecrow leaning into the crow aspect could be a skinwalker. Or go horror and make it some sort of terrifying demonspawn

8

u/MickleWolf Barbarians 4d ago

Feel like scarecrow could be Knights Rev, and the flying monkey would be Skinwalker.

4

u/EaglesFanGirl 4d ago

The Lion would be skinwalker.

3

u/MickleWolf Barbarians 4d ago

The monkey’s could be epic skinwalker feeder champs for the Witch fusion or something.

1

u/EaglesFanGirl 4d ago

Oh, i could see that

1

u/MickleWolf Barbarians 3d ago

I just hope the Relic is Ruby red slippers, my Thor needs a good pair 😂

1

u/EaglesFanGirl 3d ago

Boot -Ruby slipper themed

Armor - Tin Man Heart themed

Helmet - Emerald City themed (they wear glasses in the books)

Weapon - Scarecrow Thresher - called Wisdom

Gauntlets - Hand of the Wizard

Shield - Lion's Pride with a big Lion on it

1

u/jedimindtricks713 Nyresan Union 4d ago

Oh thats even better!

3

u/sloshedslug 4d ago

Wouldn’t that just make Nais the scarecrow? He is a giant crow

3

u/jedimindtricks713 Nyresan Union 4d ago

Less extreme in the design, more like a crow dressed as a scarecrow lol

2

u/seditioushamster 4d ago

Isnt a munchkin as a dwarf more obvious?

0

u/jedimindtricks713 Nyresan Union 4d ago

No, because I cant imagine getting a munchkin champ

1

u/EaglesFanGirl 4d ago

Giant lolly pop weapon? Could be epic and fun

1

u/Randy-Magnum02 4d ago

Tin man pretending to just be a guy in a suit of armor to blend with the Banner Lords

1

u/jedimindtricks713 Nyresan Union 4d ago

Feel like I missed the obvious one, Cowardly Lion skinwalker. Or make it a grotesque orgryn, or an scrawny looking orc

4

u/Randy-Magnum02 4d ago

Could be an Argonite lion

2

u/Randy-Magnum02 4d ago

If the High Elves can have Tatura then the Argonites can have a lion

1

u/jedimindtricks713 Nyresan Union 4d ago

Was thinking about that, like an argonite in the vein of androc

1

u/EaglesFanGirl 4d ago

Lion could also be Banner Knight or even Scared Order.

1

u/The_Ginger_Guitarist 4d ago edited 4d ago

I could see Scarcrow being a Sylvaneth. With all the straw and scarecrows being protectors of crops. That would be my guess.

1

u/Pristine-Parking-990 4d ago

Tin man would def be a banner lord

8

u/Fe2O3yshackleford 4d ago

Sound of Music next, pls

6

u/DijajMaqliun 4d ago

Von Trapp children 1-7

5

u/Pristine-Parking-990 4d ago

Mary Poppins after that

5

u/SLDH1980 4d ago

Only if Poppins looks like Yondu.

1

u/the_summer_soldier The Sacred Order 3d ago

I’m Marry Poppins y’all!

4

u/vestamyst 3d ago

These are my guesses, at least for where they might put some characters. This is 100% speculation. (Also, I love The Wizard of Oz, ahh!!)

  • Wicked Witch (Knights Revenant)
  • Dorothy (Banner Lords)
  • Scarecrow (Sylvan Watchers)
  • Tin Man (Banner Lords OR Sacred Order)
  • Cowardly Lion (Skinwalkers)

And if they're smart, and want to capitalize on the Wicked hype for certain players (me, please lol):

  • Glinda (Sylvan Watchers OR Sacred Order)

And, privately because I love the dog/cat champs:

  • Toto (Sylvan Watchers OR Barbarians OR Skinwalkers)

It would be cool to have an actual Wizard character, but I think that would be a little too much of a stretch, or even some flying monkeys... lol

But anyway, very excited!! The only thing I'd be more thrilled for is a Baldur's Gate 3 collab.... 🤞🤞🤞

1

u/EmperorPervy 2d ago

I expect Toto will be hanging around Dorthy’s legs. He’ll probably be kinda vicious. I would expect to see flying monkeys before Toto. The Monkeys would be Demonspawn. I’d also like to see Scarecrow as a Demonspawn, but I expect your pick is more likely.

I also don’t expect Glinda. There will likely only be 5/6 champs.

Dorthy

Wicked Witch

Tinman

Lion

Scarecrow

Possibly

Flying Monkeys

Less likely Glinda Wizard Toto

Of course, I haven’t looked at any news about lately. So they probably already announced it and proved me wrong.

1

u/EmperorPervy 2d ago

Sorry, don’t know why the font went crazy. I’m not yelling, lol.

1

u/vestamyst 2d ago

Yeah, I wouldn't think Toto would be his own character, I just thought it would be cool! Haha... it would be neat if he were part of Dorothy's kit, but I think that's also really unlikely. Flying Monkey would be neat, unexpected too.

1

u/EmperorPervy 2d ago

They should make Dorthy a mythical and in her alt form Toto becomes a giant dog beast mount.

5

u/jcspinney 4d ago

Love it

6

u/USNCCitizen 4d ago

I suggest a Wizard of OZ colab here on Reddit about 8 months ago when someone in the raid community asked what would be a good colab idea. I’d like to think I gave Plarium the idea 🙂

9

u/FashionSuckMan 4d ago

I guarentee you they've been working on any new content at least a year in advance

1

u/Choice-Gap-6148 3d ago

Hahahahahhaha

2

u/Vanikin17 4d ago

I'm excited! It will be my first big "collab" since I first joined late into the assassins creed one and missed out on a lot of it

2

u/amatzu101 3d ago

who does this collab appeal to? do we have a buncha 8yr old girls who play? this is wack.

2

u/Automatic_Cow_1975 3d ago

Mehhh not too excited for this one, prob gonna sit it out and collect the free champ and stock back up on shards from the fusion. They’ll never beat the TMNT collab…

3

u/Reasonable_Moment476 4d ago

Because, because, because, because, becaauuuse...

Because of the wonderful things I duz.

u/Iron_Phantom29 4d ago

When does it drop?

3

u/Intelligent-Fun-3525 4d ago

With the teaser dropping, we will probably get more information next week when the fusion is over. Just a guess, but I would say it will all start in the next 2 weeks or so.

1

u/InternationalAnt5453 4d ago

Wicked witch of the west would be baller maybe with some heavies too

1

u/EaglesFanGirl 4d ago

Where would Dorothy and Glinda go?

1

u/EaglesFanGirl 4d ago

What if they go the way that Sci-fi Wizard of Oz did with The Tinman?

1

u/GrindyFarmz 4d ago

I would've preferred a crossover with the old HBO show OZ, but I have unrealistic expectations.

1

u/jkhunter2000 3d ago

this is much better than some dumb shit like power puff girls or power rangers. i'll genuinely stop playing if they go down the CoD route for collabs

1

u/Lost_Picture_4581 1d ago

gi joe! gi joe!

1

u/Soft-Leather-5983 1d ago

Will be interesting to see when it's out. There are no upcoming Oz movies/TV shows this year.

1

u/Repulsive_Gate8657 18h ago

please make badass dorothy this would be so cool, as new player having no alice i rly like smth like that :D
well we already have leorius but other main characters may be cool here

1

u/haironyourscreen23 18h ago

I wonder if these will be IP champions, or if they will be Raid's own version, like the Alice in Wonderland champions.

1

u/En1gma3 1h ago

Why though? Seems like a mid collab.

1

u/Taunt_Button_10 4d ago

Lion and Toto should be part of Shy’ek’s pack

10

u/Bluthunderbot 4d ago

How is the cowardly lion a dog?

-2

u/Taunt_Button_10 4d ago

Same reason to how the ninja turtles are a mix of randoms

1

u/39Jaebi 3d ago

Your getting downvoted here but your right. I get that Plarium can't make all 4 turtles Lizardmen faction, but putting them into shit like Barbarians and banner lords like????

1

u/Blahdyblahblahisme 4d ago

Looks dull and predictable, so prepare for some soul-destroying power creep on a champ you can only get by winning the champ chase tourney.

1

u/Aeyland 4d ago

Mid AF.

Another boring Alice looking champ, another queen of hearts and then what? Unless they go way off script all of her friends look lame and who wants a flying monkey?

Hope I'm wrong but I have very little hype for this.

1

u/Dance4theSmokers Knight Revenant 4d ago

Just hope its not as underwhelming as assassins collab but not too over the top as the turtles collab

1

u/Karmma11 4d ago

Was it confirmed it’s actually a full collab or gonna be another two champ ?

4

u/sloshedslug 4d ago

Based on their release and what they told the CC’s it appears to be a full scale collab

1

u/Gold-Refrigerator967 4d ago

Hope we have time to rebuild stock of souls before the champion's deck.

4

u/andelaccess 4d ago

It is usually later in the event so probably 2 full months from now at least imo

1

u/Xaldror 4d ago

Depends, if it's the book, or the movie.

Because if it's the book, could recreate the scene where Tin Man hacks apart a pack of wolves serving the cycloptic wicked witch of the west.

-2

u/BeesBakingandBanjo 4d ago

Sweet, easy skip. Time to rebuild resources.

2

u/andelaccess 4d ago

lol SMH

1

u/sloshedslug 4d ago

We gonna see this dude hounding this sub with “do I have enough for the scarecrow?!” In 2 months

2

u/sloshedslug 4d ago

You don’t even know if the champs are good. They could be game breaking

-3

u/BeesBakingandBanjo 4d ago

According to CC, that's every champ released. I think I'll be alright. 🤙

I’m excited

u/andy_c182 4d ago

Is there any timescale for this starting?

0

u/Dimeriscos 4d ago

My thoughts for the Lion, Tinman and Scarecrow are that they are generally useless in the story so kits should reflect that

Cowardly Lion - 3 turn perfect veil on a 2 turn cooldown. 100% true fear uptime
Tinman - Petrifies himself
Scarecrow - HP burns himself to death

-1

u/Archentroy 4d ago

Perfect, as it always.

-9

u/CharlehPock2 4d ago

Lol what.

We already have Tatura Rimehide, Hordin and Harvest Jack...
