Coin Master Raid Tips: Maximize Loot Efficiency and Win Battles Fast
If you’re anything like me, you know that Raids in Coin Master can make or break your village progression. Raids aren’t just a fun rush, they’re your ticket to scoring massive coin hauls, building faster, and outpacing your competition. But a lot of players–myself included, when I first started–miss out on easy wins and golden opportunities just because they don’t take their Raiding strategy seriously enough. Whether you’re a new spinner looking for your first mega jackpot or an experienced player who wants to avoid common mistakes, this guide will share the proven techniques I (and a bunch of top players) rely on for efficient, high-value Raids every week.
Understanding Coin Master Raids: The Basics
Before you can raid like a pro, it’s important to understand what actually happens during a Raid. Whenever you spin three piggy symbols, you get the chance to dig for coins in another player’s village. You’ll have three shovels (or four if you use Foxy), and under each patch could be a huge payout, a small prize, or sometimes nothing at all. But there’s a catch: the biggest loot is almost always buried—and unless you plan your digs well, you might come away with just a handful of coins rather than the mega millions you were dreaming about.
I remember one of my earliest Raids, where I got all excited, blasted through my shovels without a plan, and barely walked away with enough for a single upgrade. That’s when I realized: it’s not just luck. A careful, strategic approach is what pays off in the long run!
Pre-Raid Preparation: Setting Up for Success
Before you hit that Spin button, make sure you’re maximizing every Raid opportunity. Here’s what I (and the top players I’ve talked to) always do:
- Activate Foxy as your pet buddy: Foxy is essential. Her fourth dig hugely increases your raid haul. Always feed Foxy before you start spinning for Raids.
- Time your Raids during special events: Events like Raid Madness, Attack Madness, or Viking events often offer bonus rewards for raiding. Save your spins and focus your Raids during these times for maximum value.
- Use high spin multipliers wisely: Your loot scales with your spin multiplier. If your target is a rich village, ramp up your multiplier for a chance at gigantic hauls, but avoid burning multipliers on poor villages.
A quick personal note: I once wasted a spin multiplier x50 on a player who barely had any coins. Big mistake! This taught me to always check coin values by testing low multipliers first, then cranking it up for lucrative targets only.
Mastering Raid Technique: How to Choose the Best Dig Spots
Most players believe Raids are pure luck, but there are some player-tested tactics you can use consistently. The idea is to increase your odds of digging up the largest treasure, especially on rich villages. Here’s what works:
- Switch up your dig pattern: Don’t always dig the same three spots. Many pro players rotate between center-first, edge-first, or even random orderings to avoid falling into streaks of “bad luck.”
- Read subtle clues (if any) on the ground: There’s no guaranteed visual tell, but occasionally, slightly raised or disturbed patches have been suggested by some as more likely locations for big coins (especially during events). I’ve found mild success by following this, but don’t rely on it alone.
- Use Foxy’s dig last: Always use your bonus dig as the final shovel. If your first three finds are small, you get one last shot at the big payout.

Maximizing Loot: When and How to Go Big
The biggest Coin Master Raid wins come when you combine the right timing, a strong spin multiplier, and Foxy’s help. Here’s how to line up those factors:
- Scout rich villages: If you’re hitting random villages, look for ones with fully built or expensive upgrades as these usually hold more coins.
- Save multipliers for top targets: Don’t blindly use x10, x20 or x50 on any raid. Use single spins to “test” the payouts, then unload your multipliers on high-potential targets.
- Raid during events: Some events double or triple your loot. Always stack your spins for these times. During one Raid Madness, I raked in enough coins for two whole villages in a day just from hitting event bonuses.
Here’s a quick table to keep in mind as you set your raid priorities:
| Target Type | Multiplier? (Recommended) | Expectations |
|---|---|---|
| Unbuilt/Low-Level Village | x1-x2 only | Small loot, use for filler raids |
| Mid-Built Village | x5-x10 | Decent loot, use multipliers during events |
| Fully Built/High-Level | x10-x50 | Jackpot potential, use Foxy and event bonuses |
Common Raid Mistakes and How to Avoid Them
Making mistakes is part of learning, but some errors cost more than others, especially during Raids. Here are a couple slip-ups I still catch myself falling into, along with fixes:
- Wasting multipliers on weak targets: Test payout with x1 before blowing your big spins. If you use multipliers and only uncover small prizes, your coin stash will take a major hit.
- Forgetting to feed Foxy: It’s easy to get excited and skip this step. Set a reminder or pre-feed in batches. Missing that extra dig really adds up, especially on high-stake raids.
- Raiding outside major events: Unless you’re close to being raided back, it’s usually smarter to stall until the big bonuses hit. You’ll get far greater value for each spin.
I’ve also seen friends (and once, even myself) raid continually without checking how many coins the target village holds. There’s no shame in skipping a dud–it’ll save you spins in the long run.
Leveling Up Quickly: Spend Your Raid Loot Smart
Diamond raiders know that having coins is only half the battle. You need to spend them quickly and wisely to really “win” at Coin Master. According to the Ultimate Coin Master Strategy Guide on VMOS Cloud, you should always invest your raid coins into your village upgrades as soon as possible. This makes you less of a target for others and keeps your progress rolling forward.
- Prioritize storage and defense: Upgrade these first so your future loot is safer.
- Don’t hoard coins too long: Spend them fast before someone raids you back.
- Use rewards to complete events quickly: The more event rounds you finish, the more spins and chests you’ll earn—feeding into more and bigger raids!
A quick anecdote: I once sat on a giant coin haul hoping to finish an event, only to get wiped by a chain of back-to-back raids…painful. Now, I always spend right away or risk the wrath of the coin bandits.
Speed Tips: Win More Raids and Build Faster
If you want to outpace your friends and climb the Coin Master ranks, quick and efficient raiding is key. Here are five habits that will help you raid faster, build smarter, and keep momentum on your side:
- Spin during peak loot events for bigger hauls
- Always use Foxy and make sure she’s well-fed before marathon spin sessions
- Burn your spin multipliers on high-value targets (skip the rest)
- Spend coins as soon as you earn them, don’t let yourself become a raid magnet
- Check the leaderboard for easy, unguarded raid targets
Sticking to these tactics I was able to reach and finish Village 80 in record time—and the thrill of back-to-back mega raids is totally worth the preparation.
Final Word: Raiding Like a True Coin Master
Raiding is equal parts skill and timing. With the right prep, a flexible raid routine, and a little patience, you can rake in the coins you need and rocket up through the villages. Never forget to check how much loot a target holds, make Foxy your secret weapon, and ruthlessly protect your winnings by spending them quickly after each big score. Remember, every master was once a beginner—I started out with plenty of awkward raids before hitting my stride. Stay persistent, enjoy the hunt, and soon you’ll be earning raids (and bragging rights) like the best of them!
