raid mobs despawning

[MrΩ]

Aren't the raid mobs supposed to leave and to despawn once the event is finished?

In immersive+ difficulty, they stay, I have to kill them fast before the next raid roll.

Nope, they stay.

[MrΩ]

But killing them while the event is happening is useless because they will spawn again, right?
You need to wait for the end of the event.

Dude,

I just watched a stream yesterday. He chose to build an elevated and moated base, and have the max rate of raids like me (but he has no-boss portals...).

He left far away his base while the event was on, he came back the raid mobs did despawn!!! Did not notice the end of event message, but even if it was the case, the mobs are not supposed to despawn that fast. I guess there is more to event despawning.

I am not going to test that for science (because I am now used to the sluggish "under the raid radar" giga spread main base).

Yep, they despawn.
