Seasonal Raid Rotation

Quick answer: Seasonal raid rotates every 90 days. 4 seasons per year. Each season introduces 1 new boss + 3 returning. New mechanics each season prevent stale content. Loot drops scale with season (S2 raid > S1 raid stats). Q1 2026 raid: Aeternum Dread. Q2 2026 raid: Crimson Avatar. Q3 2026 raid: Eclipse Sentinel.
