New players can start RAID: Shadow Legends with three legendary champions and one epic champion by downloading and registering the game client through an active promotional referral link on iOS, Android, or PC. This reward package bypasses the standard early-game shard grind and provides a high-utility roster from day one.
How to Claim the Promotional Roster
- Click an active partner promotional link on your chosen device (PC, iOS, or Android).
- Download and install the client directly through the destination page to ensure the promotional reward flag attaches to your installation.
- Launch the game and register a new account. Standard starter rosters apply if you log into an existing account or install the game directly from an app store without using the referral link.
Early-Game Progression and Resource Strategy
Securing guaranteed legendary and epic champions alters how you should allocate early resources:
- Resource Prioritization: Focus your early energy, silver, and XP on leveling and ascending your promotional legendary and epic units first. Avoid spending limited early resources on low-rarity campaign drops.
- Shard Preservation: Because your core roster is established immediately, you do not need to rely on early shard pulls for basic campaign progression. Save your acquired shards for future summon events.
- Skill Books and Gear: Distribute skill books and farm gear sets specifically tailored to your starting high-rarity units. Establishing a high-rarity core team early allows you to push deeper into campaign stages and dungeons at a lower overall player level.
Account Requirements and Limitations
- New Accounts Only: Promotional partner link rewards are a one-time bonus per account creation. Existing accounts cannot retroactively trigger these bonuses.
- Manual Development Required: High-rarity units provide a immediate performance jump, but they still require proper rank leveling, gear optimization, and team synergy to progress through mid-game content and event milestones.
