The Universal Tower Defense Z Night Raid update introduced the titular game mode as an expansion for the Extractions mode. The Night Raid mode is a more challenging version of the existing Extraction stages with better reward drop rates upon completion. This mode appears every hour, increasing the drop chances for existing elements and reducing the time you have for completing tasks and finishing the stages.
Here’s a quick guide on the Night Raid mode in Universal Tower Defense Z.
An overview of the Night Raid mode in Universal Tower Defense Z

The Night Raid mode acts as an add-on to the Extraction stages, which can be viewed through the Extractions menu. Accessibility for this mode cycles between the available Extraction stages every hour. This means that you will only be able to access the new difficult variant for one of the stages at a time.
The reward pool for the Night Raid mode is identical to that of the regular Extraction stages. Where it differs is in the drop rates; you are more likely to receive rarer loot upon completing the former. So, if you’re looking for a particular item set, such as the Hero Relic Set, you may want to complete the Night Raid mode.
The general rule set for the Night Raid mode remains the same: explore the map, complete World Events and tasks, and finish the stage by performing an Extraction. The added stipulation is that the enemies you face in World Events and random tasks are a lot tougher than usual. Additionally, Final Extraction triggers a lot sooner than in standard Extractions, meaning you have a lot less time to finish the stage.
Choose your tasks and World Events carefully, as each task will require you to commit valuable time to clear. If you miss the Final Extraction window, the mode will end and you will not receive any rewards from the stage.
So, your team build has to be flawless to clear the Night Raid successfully. A competent team composition includes one Universal or Boundless unit, one Secret-rarity units, and two Mythic-rarity units, along with Bulmo and Fastcart as your dedicated farming units. This composition manages the team cost very well without compromising your team’s ability to perform well in battle.
