RaidLords gives every player a named knight called the Champion before its Robinhood Chain debut

In Brief:

• RaidLords has unveiled Champions: every player gets a knight they name themselves, with gear slots, Valor ranks, three stances and a solo mode called Champion Trials.
• The village-building and raiding strategy game runs on Robinhood Chain. Its developer, 0xOziK, previously built Stonewatch.
• A waitlist is open with one day of early access and a $3,000 prize pool. There’s no launch date yet.

Each RaidLords player will get a personal knight called a Champion, which they name and bring along on every raid. The Robinhood Chain strategy game revealed the feature while it collects waitlist sign-ups ahead of launch.

“Every Lord rides with a Champion,” the project wrote on X on Oct. 25. The knight goes out on every raid and defends the player’s village while they’re offline.

How the Champion system works

Equipment is handled in the Armoury, which has four slots: weapon, shield, helm and charm. Item rarity runs from common up to legendary.

As the knight climbs through Valor ranks, it gets stronger. Players also choose a stance from three options, Guardian, Warlord or Berserker, and each gives different benefits. The post didn’t say what those benefits are.

Titles won in battle are displayed on the Champion. There’s also a solo mode, Champion Trials, where the player’s knight fights bandit knights on its own.

“One knight. Your rules,” the post said.

About the game

The RaidLords website sums up the game as “build your village, raid theirs.” The site is still marked “coming soon,” with no release date and no platform list.

The project’s X profile describes it as “The most advanced multiplayer strategy game on @RobinhoodCrypto” and lists 0xOziK as the developer. 0xOziK’s own profile says “Building @RaidLords ⚔️ – prev @stonewatch_rh.”

Two counters already sit on the homepage, one for tokens “burned forever” and one for a reward pool. Both read zero at the time of writing. No token has been named.

Joining the waitlist

Sign-up has six steps, and each one awards points. Players connect a wallet (this signs a message and doesn’t send a transaction), link their X account, “raid” a RaidLords post by following, liking, reposting and replying to it, and then claim a RaidLord card.

Two optional tasks, posting about the game and inviting friends, earn bonus points. Each friend who joins and finishes the raid brings in 50 referral points. Robinhood Chain is EVM-compatible, so any wallet that supports it can be used.

The $3,000 prize pool splits in two. The top 100 on the final leaderboard share $2,000, and the remaining $1,000 is divided evenly among 100 randomly picked raiders who finished outside the top 100. All waitlist members get one day of early access.

There’s also a creator program with $3,000 and 200 whitelist spots for the best posts. When the game goes live, players log in with the wallet they signed up with to collect their rewards.

Ties to Stonewatch

The waitlist page has a section for returning Stonewatch players titled “Welcome, Stonewatch veteran.” These players will find a pack in their account when RaidLords opens. The page said the pack’s contents will be revealed before launch.

On X, Stonewatch’s profile calls it the “First multiplayer strategy game on @RobinhoodCrypto.” Its pinned post from Sept. 24 announced the game was live on Robinhood Chain and asked players to build a kingdom, gather an army and start earning $SW.

Stonewatch later said it had checked every wallet on-chain and shared the results. By its count, 2,361 player wallets were up $18,569 net and 3,603 trader wallets were up $15,353 net. The 75 wallets it marked as bots were down $66,723.

Background

Robinhood built Robinhood Chain as an Ethereum Layer 2 on the Arbitrum stack. The public mainnet launched on July 1, 2026.

At the time the waitlist page was checked, its counter showed zero RaidLords signed up.
