Predicting the exact number of Soulstones needed for high-tier Path of the Fallen rewards requires a realistic assessment of your point thresholds and summon luck. Because these events often feature exclusive milestones—such as Lyria’s 5-star Soul or specific Mythical artifacts—players should hoard resources well in advance. Success in these events is rarely about raw luck; it is about calculating the point-per-stone efficiency before committing your inventory to avoid falling short of your target.

Evaluating Event Point Thresholds

The primary challenge in Path of the Fallen events is the steep escalation of point requirements as you progress toward final milestones. Before spending, check the event window to see if the point-per-soulstone ratio aligns with your current stock of Mortal, Immortal, and Eternal Soulstones.

  • Mortal Soulstones: Best for incremental point gains.
  • Immortal Soulstones: Often provide a significant boost toward mid-tier milestones.
  • Eternal Soulstones: Essential for high-value rewards, though their scarcity makes them a high-risk investment if you are not guaranteed to reach the final tier.

Strategic Resource Allocation for Lyria

When targeting specific champion souls like the 5-star Lyria Soul, treat your Soulstone collection as a long-term savings account. You should never deplete your entire reserve unless you are mathematically certain you can reach the milestone. Focus on these preparation steps:

  • Bank Your Stones: Do not open Soulstones during off-peak times. Wait for events that offer "Path of the Fallen" or similar progression bonuses.
  • Calculate Costs: Determine how many points you need versus how many points your current inventory yields. If you are short by a wide margin, it is often better to save for the next rotation.
  • Prioritize Mythical Relics: If the event includes Mythical artifacts or "Greed's Passion" sets, weigh the value of these items against the cost of the champion soul.

Managing Expectations and RNG

Even with a calculated approach, RNG (Random Number Generation) plays a role in how many points you receive per summon. Because the drop rates for higher-tier souls are fixed, you should always assume a "worst-case scenario" for your point gain.

If you are just a few stones shy of your goal, evaluate whether the cost of purchasing additional stones outweighs the value of the reward. In RAID: Shadow Legends, maintaining a steady resource flow is usually more beneficial for long-term account health than burning out on a single event.
