The quest for legendary champions is a cornerstone of the RAID: Shadow Legends experience. These powerful units can drastically alter the course of your game, propelling you through difficult content and establishing dominance in PvP battles. While many legendaries require significant time, resource investment, and luck, there are definitely methods to acquire them with relative ease. The most accessible way to get legendary champions is by completing the Progress Missions to obtain Arbiter, the legendary support champion, and through the Mercy System, which guarantees a legendary from shards after a set number of pulls without one. This article will explore these methods along with other avenues to obtain easier legendary champions, followed by a deep dive into frequently asked questions.
The Easiest Paths to Legendary Champions
The idea of “easy” can be subjective in RAID: Shadow Legends, but several methods require less luck or intensive spending. Here are the most direct ways:
Completing Progress Missions
One of the very first legendary champions you can earn is Arbiter. She is awarded upon completing the initial set of Progress Missions. These missions are designed to guide new players through the game’s core mechanics. While some of these missions require grinding, they are achievable for most players by simply playing consistently. Arbiter is a fantastic support champion who will stay relevant in your teams for the entire duration of your gameplay. Her speed-boosting and revive capabilities make her an invaluable asset.
The Mercy System
The Mercy System is a built-in mechanism that prevents extreme streaks of bad luck when pulling shards. Here’s how it works:
- Each shard type (Ancient, Void, and Sacred) has its own Mercy Counter.
- For Ancient and Void shards, if you pull a certain number of shards consecutively without obtaining a legendary champion, your chance of pulling a legendary increases with each subsequent pull. Eventually, it is guaranteed (after around 200 shard pulls for ancient and void shards).
- Sacred Shards have a lower Mercy Counter, guaranteeing a legendary after a much shorter amount of pulls (around 20-30 pulls).
- You can see this count in the summoning portal under “Pity”.
- The mercy counter resets after you pull a legendary.
- This system guarantees you will obtain legendary champions over time, even if you have poor luck.
Fragment Summon Events
Fragment Summon Events provide a more strategic approach to acquiring legendary champions. During these events, you complete a variety of in-game tasks to earn fragments of a specific legendary champion. Once enough fragments are collected (usually 100), you can summon the champion. The difficulty of these events can vary, but they provide a guaranteed way to obtain a specific legendary. These events can require spending some resources or time but they are generally considered reliable and not as dependent on luck compared to shard pulls.
Promotion Champions
Occasionally, RAID: Shadow Legends will offer limited-time promotion champions. These champions are often available by completing certain tasks or spending a small amount. They can be a way to acquire a legendary champion without having to rely completely on luck. Keep an eye out for any announcements of such events.
Other Avenues to Legendary Champions
While not as consistent as the above options, these methods can also contribute to acquiring legendary champions:
Shard Opening Events
Shard Opening Events encourage players to open shards during specific time frames by offering boosted chances to obtain legendary champions. These events sometimes increase the probability of pulling a legendary, although this can still be dependent on luck.
Tournaments
Tournaments are in-game competitions with various goals such as Arena wins or dungeon progression. Depending on the tournament, some may offer a champion directly as a reward or the needed fragments, including legendary ones. These events do require that you dedicate some time during the limited period to participate and excel.
Fusion Events
Fusion Events allow you to collect specific champions, usually epic and rare, and then fuse them together to obtain a legendary champion. These events are typically quite time-consuming and can require substantial resource management, but it is a reliable way to obtain the targeted champion, and it is a guarantee in the end.
Collecting Shards
Constantly gathering shards, even if you are not using them during specific events, is essential. Shards can be earned through regular gameplay, such as completing campaign stages, participating in events, or achieving milestones in game features such as Doom Tower. This method is an example of “slow and steady wins the race,” and you should not neglect it.
