Best Discord Anti-Raid Bots 2026

How the ranking was built

Most lists in this space are formed by a bot declaring itself number one on its own marketing page. To avoid doing this, we chose a single criterion: how many servers it protects and how long it has been in the field.

The reason is simple. Anti-raid is the feature with the lowest error tolerance. False positives ban real members, false negatives cost you the server. Distinguishing between these two errors is only possible with a system that has seen a vast number of real raids. A new bot might be well-designed, but it doesn't have the same data.

All server numbers are provided with their sources and dates. We did not write down any figure we could not verify.

Comparison

1. Discord's own Raid Protection and AutoMod

This is what you should do before adding any bot. The verification level in Server Settings, the explicit content filter, and Discord's built-in AutoMod rules are free, require no bot authorizations, and have zero latency since they run on Discord's own infrastructure.

Their limits are also clear: you cannot fine-tune the thresholds, and they lack features like mass-locking channels during a raid and then restoring their previous permissions. This is precisely where bot needs begin.

2. Security

Reports 1.48 million servers on top.gg (Sep 12, 2026). It evaluates joining accounts not based on a single rule, but on a combination of signals such as account age and profile traits. On the anti-nuke side, it tracks numerous destructive actions separately.

Its distinguishing feature is its own permission system, which allows moderators to take action without having full administrator rights in Discord. In return, its setup is one of the longest on this list.

3. Wick

Reports 1,000,349 servers on top.gg (Sep 12, 2026). Considered a reference in the anti-nuke field: it defines thresholds for actions like deleted channels per minute, bans issued, or roles distributed, and automatically strips permissions—including from admins—of any account exceeding the threshold.

If destruction occurs, it can restore channels from a snapshot. The price for this is requesting a very broad set of permissions, which is a trust decision not every server is comfortable making.

4. Beemo

States it is used on over 100,000 servers on its website (Sep 12, 2026). It does one thing: detects mass fake account influxes and bans them in bulk. No settings, no panel, no command set.

This simplicity is both its strength and its limit. Don't expect verification, auto-moderation, or logging; it is added as an extra layer next to another bot.

5. Vetox

Reports 9,930 servers on top.gg (Sep 12, 2026). Next-generation and audit-log focused: monitors dangerous action types and applies automatic penalties to the account performing the action, evaluating join speed alongside an account age filter. Offers a multi-language interface.

Since it is relatively new in the field, it makes sense to test it before making it the sole security layer on a large server.

6. VeyroBot

The smallest on this list: installation count on the Discord Developer Portal is 10 servers on September 12, 2026. It has no field experience comparable to the scale of the bots above, and there is no point in hiding that.

Let's write down what it concretely does, and you decide. If the number of joins in the last 10 seconds exceeds the threshold set by the server (default 10), it locks text channels holding permission objects. Before locking, it writes the @everyone status of each channel—allowed, denied, or neutral—to the database. The /unlock command restores all recorded channels to their Previous state, not neutral. Since the record is kept in the database rather than memory, the restore works even if the bot restarts.

Additionally, it applies the penalty chosen by the server to accounts newer than a specified day; if the day value is zero, this check is disabled. Aside from anti-raid, it generates a health report scoring the server's security settings—its primary value lies right here, as it shows dangerous permissions left open before a raid happens.

Who it is suitable for, who it is not for

Wick or Security: Servers with tens of thousands of members, targeted, and where the risk of an administrator account being compromised is real.

Beemo: Servers experiencing only bot raid issues and not wanting to deal with configurations.

VeyroBot: Servers looking for a multi-modular bot already managed from a single panel and wanting anti-raid as part of that setup.

Not suitable: If you are only looking for an anti-raid solution and your server is large, VeyroBot is not the right choice; choose one of the bots above that has been doing this job for years.

Frequently Asked Questions

Should I install multiple anti-raid bots?

Generally, no. If two bots apply separate penalties to the same join, it causes double bans and messy logs. A common exception is adding Beemo, which does a single job, next to a general-purpose bot.

Does an anti-raid bot require Administrator permission?

Most do not, but they need Manage Channels for channel locks, and Ban Members or Kick Members for penalties. Bots with anti-nuke features require wider permissions because they need to be able to strip permissions from an authorized account.

What happens if there is a false positive?

Real members get banned. Therefore, tune your thresholds according to your server's normal join speed and keep the penalty on a lighter option rather than a ban for the first week while monitoring logs.

Do locked channels return to their old state afterward?

Depending on the bot. Some bots set permissions to neutral, which wipes out custom permissions specifically defined before the lock. Choose a solution that records the pre-lock state.

What should I do before a raid happens?

Raise the verification level, close dangerous permissions on the @everyone role, and define a moderation log channel. Most raids feed on a permission left open to begin with.
