RAID on PC: Plarium Play, Your Progress and First Steps
Install RAID on Windows, correctly link your existing progress and make informed choices for your first team.

If you already play RAID on your phone, link that profile to a Plarium ID first. Then sign in on PC using the same linked identity. This helps you avoid accidentally opening a new profile when moving to desktop.
Install paths (last checked)
Last checked: 2026-11-09. Confirm the live storefront before you install.
Confirm Plarium’s current PC page before installing. Nexrivium does not publish a scored RAID PC benchmark here.
| Path | Role | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Official launcher | Plarium Play | Primary Plarium desktop path for RAID on Windows. |
| Store client (Steam / Epic / Plarium) | Steam (if listed) | Separate client from Plarium Play. Pick one path and keep account recovery details. |
| Emulator | Third path only | Mobile emulators are optional. Prefer Plarium Play or Steam when available. |
For new players, the process starts with the official Plarium Play client. This guide covers installation, your account and getting started; it promises neither a particular Champion nor a limited-time starting bonus.
Choose the right client
Plarium describes RAID through Plarium Play for Windows and Mac. An Android emulator is not required for this route. Check the official destination page for the download matching your operating system and the current requirements.
Do not confuse the game’s general platform support with an individual promotional offer. An offer’s conditions may be limited to a particular platform or new players. Do not download additional software from an unofficial provider simply because the page promises higher frame rates or special rewards.
Prepare your existing progress
The official help on missing progress describes a common problem: a mobile profile was not linked to the Plarium ID being used before the PC version was launched. The desktop client then starts with a different profile.
Start on the device where your intended progress still appears:
- Open RAID there and access settings through your avatar.
- Check the Plarium ID connection in the profile section.
- Follow the steps shown there to link the existing profile.
- Record which identity belongs to this progress, without sharing the password publicly.
- Use that identity to sign in to Plarium Play on PC.
- After launching, check that the expected profile appears before continuing to play or buying anything.
Reinstalling does not automatically merge two separate accounts. If you are unsure which account contains your progress, document the situation for official support rather than creating more new profiles.
Install Plarium Play and RAID
Open the official RAID or Plarium Play page and select the desktop download. After downloading, check the file name and origin before starting installation. An advertising link with a similar name does not necessarily lead to the correct publisher.
- Start the official installer and follow its instructions.
- Choose a suitable storage location with space for the current download and later updates.
- Sign in using the correct Plarium ID; new players create their identity through the designated dialog.
- Select RAID in the client and install the game.
- Wait until the download and update have finished.
- Launch RAID from this client and check your account, language, volume and controls.
If an error occurs, keep its exact wording. Downloading the client, installing the game, signing in and loading a profile are different operations. Changing graphics settings will not fix signing in with the wrong account.
Understand your first team
RAID is a turn-based collection RPG. Begin by taking time with a small group whose skills you can explain. A high rarity does not tell you whether a Champion can perform the task your current group is struggling with.
Check each member: who deals damage? Who helps the group survive? Who supports others or affects enemies? Watch a battle manually when trying a new Champion. This shows you when their skill actually activates and what happens afterwards.
The official beginner tips recommend, among other things, deliberately getting to know new Champions and exploring the campaign first. Use these battles to understand roles and turn order before adopting more complex recommendations.
Choose equipment for its purpose
Read the skill descriptions first, then your items’ stats. A complete set is a decision about bonuses and individual stats, not a substitute for making this comparison. The official equipment overview explains that set bonuses depend on equipping the appropriate number of pieces.
| Problem | Check first | Next useful experiment |
|---|---|---|
| Enemies survive your attacks | Skills, turn order and equipment | Test one targeted change against the same enemy |
| Your team falls early | Survival, support and recovery | Observe the cause of the first defeat |
| A set seems disappointing | Active set bonuses and individual stats | Compare the stat actually lost or gained |
| An upgrade is expensive | Cost and expected time in use | Check whether the piece suits the Champion you intend to use long term |
When making substantial changes, record the result in the same battle. If you change the entire team and its equipment at once, it remains unclear which adjustment helped.
Check purchases, events and rewards
RAID is free to start and includes optional purchases and random acquisition systems. Set a spending limit before making a purchase and check whether the offer applies to your existing or new account. An expiring timer is not a reason to spend materials without a clear goal.
Codes and starting packs may be limited by time period, platform or account status. This article does not guarantee a reward shown in a video or an older promotion. The current conditions of the official promotion apply.
If everything starts over on PC
Check the Plarium ID in the launcher. Plarium’s instructions describe switching from an unwanted desktop profile to the identity linked to your intended mobile progress. Do not repeatedly sign in using new addresses to work around the problem.
If the correct progress is still missing, contact official support and provide the required account or profile information. Do not give passwords, sign-in codes or recovery secrets to third parties.
