It is limited to 3 players.<ref>[http://planetdestiny.com/house-wolves-raid-arena/ '''Planet Destiny''' - No Raid with House of Wolves]</ref> Four missions are available each week at different Levels. The Level 28 mission includes matchmaking and is always random. The other three "challenge" missions are at Levels 32, 34, and 35, and require pre-made fireteams. The Level 32 and 34 missions rotate weekly; the Level 34 mission will be replaced with something new, while the Level 32 mission will feature the previous week's Level 34 mission. The Level 35 mission is always Skolas's Revenge. | ||
A single session consists of 5 rounds of 3 waves each, except for Skolas's Revenge which features 6 rounds. The final round of a session is a boss battle. Players spawn in the Airlock, a small central room that connects to the Prison's four chambers, each home to one of the four enemy races. Once a round begins, a modifier is activated and players are directed to one of the chambers. After completing a round, players must return to the Airlock to begin the next round. | A single session consists of 5 rounds of 3 waves each, except for Skolas's Revenge which features 6 rounds.
