(Bonus) Strike Back: Rally at the Eye
Players can enter a strike mission portal as a squad. You can use a raid squad or regular squad but only 10 players will be able to enter the instance. When entering as a squad, you can enter the mission before all have arrived in the instance or even in the squad itself. Starting the encounter, however, will cause players entering the instance later to join defeated. Players in a party can also enter a strike mission portal, however the strike mission will only allow up to the maximum in a party to join. As of at least the April 3, 2024 update, or as early as the March 19, 2024 update, it appears that Players entering as a party may not be granted credit, only the party leader that opened the instance may be granted credit. For The Icebrood Saga Strike Missions, the latest mission will additionally have a public instance, which places the player in a new instance with up to 9 other players. If a public mission starts with fewer than 10 players, it will be locked down and no more players will be able to join. As of October 1, 2019, a public mission cannot start without 5 people. If you exit and attempt to enter a new public mission you will be placed in the previous instance while it is still open. In Bjora Marches, the three weekly strike missions rotate each week. Since the release of Visions of the Past: Steel and Fire these strike missions can also be opened at anytime via the portal in the Eye of the North.
