What is Raid Target?
The streamer selected to receive a raid. Choosing good raid targets based on category, size, and schedule is a core part of raid networking strategy.
A raid target is the channel you choose to send your viewers to at the end of your stream. The most effective raid targets are streamers who share your category, are close to your size, and are actively streaming with an engaged chat.
Raiding streamers you've already built a relationship with — through Discord, chat participation, or previous raids — creates much stronger connections than cold-raiding a stranger. The Raid Finder helps you identify ideal targets by filtering live streamers by category and viewer count.
