25 MUST-KNOW TIPS! Only PROS Know Them All! - Raid Shadow Legends Beginner Guide

Tips for New Players in Raid Shadow Legends

Market Strategies

• Always check the market building every time it refreshes. Purchase every mystery shard available, as they are essential for progression.

• Ancient shards appear five times a month in the market; buy them whenever they show up for 200,000 silver each.

Shard Management

• Do not pull any shards except mystery shards early on. Focus on food champions to rank up new characters instead of pulling ancient or sacred shards until you understand the game better.

• Utilize beginner promo links when creating a new account to gain free epic champions and other bonuses.

Champion Retention

• Hold onto copies of champions marked with a blue swirl, indicating they are fusion components. Keep at least three copies of rare champions and one copy of uncommon ones.

Farming Recommendations

• When farming through the campaign, retain certain farmable rare champions like War Maiden, who has valuable skills such as decreased defense debuffs.

Specific Champion Insights

• War Maiden drops in campaign level 9 on hard mode with a 1.5% drop chance; this increases to 2% on brutal difficulty. Collect multiple copies for future use.

• Diabolist is another champion worth building out at level 50 due to her speed buff and control abilities; she can be useful in faction wars.

General Tips for Progression

Champion Skill Management in Gameplay

Locking Champions to Prevent Accidental Use

• Players should lock their chosen champions, like War Maiden, to prevent accidental use in fusions or as food for other champions. This ensures that valuable champions are preserved for skill upgrades.

Ranking Up Skills with Champion Copies

• To enhance a champion's skills, players can feed copies of the same champion into it. For instance, using additional War Maidens helps rank up her skills until at least her A3 ability is fully booked, which provides cooldown reduction and improved buff/debuff chances.

Earning Points through Champion Training Tournaments

• During champion training tournaments and CVC events, players earn points by spending epic skill books on their champions. It's crucial to save rare champion copies for these events to maximize point gains.

Identifying Food Champions

• Most uncommon champions serve as food; however, exceptions exist like Amateur from the Sacred Order faction. Players should retain at least one copy of such champions due to their unique abilities that can be beneficial in gameplay.

Importance of Turn Meter Control

• Certain bosses require effective turn meter control to defeat them. Champions like Amateur can decrease an enemy's turn meter significantly when equipped correctly, making them essential for specific strategies against tough bosses.

Utilizing Missions Effectively

Completing Early Missions Quickly

• Players are encouraged to finish the first 75 missions within the first week of gameplay. Completing these missions quickly allows access to potion dungeon keeps without time constraints later on.

Strategic Dungeon Access

• In the initial week, all potion dungeons are accessible daily. Completing early missions efficiently prevents future delays caused by limited dungeon access after the first week.

Arena Missions and Affinity Bonuses

Understanding Champion Stats and Progression in Raid Shadow Legends

Importance of Accuracy

• Accuracy is a crucial stat for approximately 80-85% of champions in Raid Shadow Legends, necessary for landing debuffs on enemies.

• While crit damage is important for about 20-30% of damage dealers, accuracy remains the most sought-after stat overall.

• Defense and HP are useful across all champion types but are not typically limiting factors in content clearing; attack stats are often less valuable.

• Focus on upgrading accuracy nodes to rank five and select one to upgrade to rank ten for maximum efficiency in missions.

Efficient Ascension Strategies

• Ascending champions can be costly due to potion requirements; it's essential to manage resources wisely during these missions.

• Instead of ascending high-rarity champions, consider using food champions (e.g., an uncommon champion like Incubus) to complete ascension missions more affordably.

• This strategy minimizes the need for expensive potions required by epic or legendary champions, making progression smoother.

Arena Team Composition

• In classic arena setups, placing the right champion as team leader is critical; incorrect choices can lead to suboptimal performance.

• For example, using AL as a leader provides only a minor HP boost instead of leveraging stronger attack boosts from other champions like Lemoni or Thor.

• Speed is vital in arena battles; having faster champions allows you to strike first and potentially eliminate opponents before they act.

Utilizing Login Rewards Effectively

• After 30 days, players will likely have Hikaton as their arena leader due to her speed boost capabilities (19% ally speed).

• Running Hikaton with optimal speed gear ensures your team goes first against opponents, which is crucial for success in classic arena matches.

Gear Management Tips

• Most gear obtained within the first three weeks tends to be low quality; focus on improving gear gradually rather than expecting immediate results.

Artifact Management and Gear Tips in Raid Shadow Legends

Selling Low-Quality Artifacts

• Players should consider selling artifacts rated three stars or lower after about 30 days of gameplay to declutter their inventory.

Importance of Speed Boots

• Acquiring boots with speed as the main stat is crucial, ideally four-star quality or higher. Speed boots are considered essential for every champion during the first six months of gameplay.

• Speed is the only primary stat that can roll on boots, making them unique and valuable. Focus solely on obtaining speed boots rather than worrying about other stats initially.

Daily Shop Check

• Players should check the shop daily for free mystery shards and ancient shards available once a week, which can aid in account progression.

Prioritizing Stats Over Set Bonuses

• It's more important to prioritize individual artifact stats over set bonuses. Beginners should avoid trying to achieve specific set bonuses if it compromises overall gear quality.

Understanding Accuracy Mechanics

• Accuracy is vital for landing debuffs on enemies; players need approximately 10 accuracy per dungeon stage cleared to effectively apply effects like HP burn or decrease speed.

Stat Value Comparison

• Percentage stats are generally more powerful than flat stats after the initial weeks of gameplay. Focus on percentage-based main stats for gloves and chest pieces while keeping speed as the priority for boots.

Main Stat Recommendations

Champion Gear and Skill Management in Raid

Understanding Champion Types and Gear Requirements

• Champions can be categorized into support types (non-damage dealers) and damage dealers. Support champions focus on reviving allies and providing buffs.

• For damage dealers, achieving 100% crit rate is crucial, especially for nukers. Initially, crit rate gauntlets are recommended to reach this target.

• The choice of chest plate gear should depend on the champion's type; attack percentage is beneficial for attack-based champions but not for defense-based ones like Morag.

Skill Upgrades: Best Practices

• Use appropriate skill tomes based on champion rarity: epic tomes for epic champions, rare tomes for rare champions, etc. Avoid using higher-tier tomes on lower-tier champions.

• Complete booking a champion before spreading books across multiple champions. This ensures that key skills receive cooldown reductions which are vital during longer fights.

Maximizing Skill Effectiveness

• Focus on fully upgrading skills that provide significant benefits such as cooldown reduction or increasing debuff/buff chances to 100%.

• Some A1 skills can remain unbooked if other skills receive all the upgrades; this allows players to conserve skill books effectively.

Strategic Timing for Skill Book Usage

• In the early game, it’s advisable to fully book your first level 60 champion quickly. However, after that, hold off on using valuable skill books until specific events like Clan vs Clan (CVC).

• During CVC events, spending skill books becomes strategic as it contributes significantly to earning points necessary for unlocking rewards.

Advanced Tips for Resource Management

• Save legendary skill books specifically for personal rewards CVC events where winning is essential to gain better rewards compared to regular CVC events.

Rewards and Resource Management in Raid: Shadow Legends

Overview of Game Resources

• The discussion highlights the personal rewards from CVCs (Clan vs. Clan events), emphasizing that players can effectively double their rewards.

• A future video will delve into various resources within the game, including forge materials, great hall medals, skill books, shards, and ascendancy potions.

• The speaker introduces the concept of optimal resource spending based on ongoing game events to ensure players do not waste their resources.

• This principle is referred to as the "golden rule" of Raid: Shadow Legends, indicating that every resource has a correct time for expenditure.

Getting Started with New Accounts

• Viewers are encouraged to create new accounts using a specific promo link for Basilius and receive additional free epic champions as they progress.
