Maximizing Your Roster: Understanding Champion Slots in Raid: Shadow Legends
The question of maximum champion storage is a crucial one for any aspiring summoner in Raid: Shadow Legends. Managing your champion roster effectively is essential for progression, strategic team building, and overall success in the game. So, let’s dive right into the specifics:
What is the max champion slots in Raid: Shadow Legends?
Raid: Shadow Legends provides players with two distinct storage areas for their champions: the Master Vault and the Reserve Vault. The Master Vault can be expanded to a maximum of 400 Slots, while the Reserve Vault can reach a maximum of 300 Slots. Therefore, the absolute maximum number of champion slots a player can have is a combined total of 700 slots. These slots are vital for holding the extensive roster of over 700 champions currently available in the game. This total storage is extremely important as a player gets deeper into the game because of the different scenarios a variety of champions can be needed for.
Vault Management in Raid: Shadow Legends
Understanding how these vaults work and how to expand them is crucial for efficient resource management and champion acquisition. The vaults are not static; they can be expanded in increments, but at a cost.
Expanding Your Vaults
Both the Master and Reserve Vaults start with a limited number of slots. To increase your storage capacity, you’ll need to purchase expansions using Silver or Gems. Each expansion typically adds 10 new Slots to your chosen vault. The cost for expansions increases as the vaults grow, making strategic use of resources more vital.
Why Are Vaults So Important?
Raid: Shadow Legends boasts a vast collection of champions, each with unique skills, affinities, and roles. As you progress through the game, you’ll amass a significant number of these heroes. Some will be needed for specific team compositions, fusion events, or as food to rank up your more powerful champions. Effectively managing your vault space is essential to avoid the frustration of running out of space or accidentally sacrificing vital champions.
Master Vault vs. Reserve Vault: What’s the Difference?
The Master Vault is your primary storage location. This is where you’ll keep champions that are actively being used, leveled, or are considered vital for future use. The Reserve Vault is typically used for champions that you’re not using regularly. This can include extra copies of champions you might need for fusion, champions you’re planning to use for training later, or those you’re keeping just in case they’re buffed in an upcoming update.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) About Champion Slots
To further clarify the ins and outs of champion storage in Raid: Shadow Legends, here are 15 frequently asked questions:
1. What happens when my vault is full?
When either your Master or Reserve Vault reaches its capacity, a popup will appear prompting you to expand your vault. You will not be able to collect new champions if you don’t have available space.
2. How much do vault expansions cost?
The cost for vault expansions varies, but it generally starts with Silver for early expansions, then transitions to Gems as the cost scales up with each increase in slot amount. The exact amount of Silver and Gems for each expansion can be seen when you go to purchase it, usually before you get to 100 vault spaces.
3. Can I purchase multiple vault expansions at once?
Yes, you can typically purchase multiple vault expansions consecutively, but each expansion is a separate transaction.
4. Are there any ways to get vault expansions for free?
Vault expansions cannot be earned for free through game play. They have to be bought via either in-game currency of silver or gems.
5. Should I prioritize expanding my Master or Reserve Vault?
Early in the game, focus on the Master Vault as that is where you will be managing your champions you are actively using. As you progress and collect more champions, balancing expansions in both is important, but a slight prioritization to the Master Vault is recommended.
6. Can I transfer champions between the Master and Reserve Vaults?
Yes, you can freely transfer champions between the Master and Reserve Vaults at any time, without any cost.
7. What is the best strategy for managing my champion vault?
The best strategy is to sort and organize champions by their usage. Keep your most important champions in the Master Vault. Then keep champions you may need for fusion or to use as food in the Reserve vault. You will not want to sell champions you may need later on.
8. Are there any champions I should never sacrifice or use as food?
Yes, certain champions are exceptionally valuable for specific content, even if they seem weak initially. Rare Champions like Coldheart and Paragon, as well as legendary champions you only get one copy of, should not be used as food unless you are fully confident you will never need them for their specific skill sets. It’s always good to do research before using anyone as food.
9. How many champions are there in Raid: Shadow Legends?
There are over 700 Champions in Raid: Shadow Legends, and this number continues to grow with each update. This makes effective vault management essential.
10. What does it mean when a champion is “food”?
“Food” champions are lower-ranked or less useful champions you use to rank up your stronger champions. These are typically lower rarities like Common or Uncommon or rares that do not have great abilities.
11. How does the number of champion slots affect gameplay?
Having enough champion slots allows you to be more flexible with your team compositions and have backups when needed. It also ensures you have the champions you need for fusion or events.
12. What happens if I open a shard and my vault is full?
If your vault is full when you open a shard, the champion you summon will go directly into your Inbox. You’ll need to make space in your vault before you can claim them.
13. Is it okay to use uncommon champions as food early on?
Yes, using uncommon champions as food early on is a good strategy to rank up and level your main champions. They are easy to get through opening shards and are not very strong on their own.
14. Does upgrading the gem mine effect champion slots?
No, upgrading the gem mine will not effect champion slots. They are two separate parts of the game that are not connected. The gem mine is a resource that can help you obtain gems over time.
15. What is the best starting champion in raid shadow legends?
While opinions vary, the starter champion Kael is often considered the best. He belongs to the Dark Elf faction, and is an Attack champion with Magic Affinity. He is also considered to be the most useful for early progression.
