To claim the Legendary Dark Elf champion Zavia through a new player promo code in RAID: Shadow Legends, you must enter the active starter code within the first 72 hours of creating your account. Starter-tier codes are limited to one per profile; claiming any other newcomer code or exceeding the three-day window permanently prevents that account from redeeming Zavia.
If your profile is past the 72-hour window, you must register a fresh account to redeem a starter code.

Zavia Skill Kit Overview
Zavia accelerates early dungeon wave clearing because Poison debuffs deal fixed percentage-based damage relative to maximum enemy HP, reducing reliance on high-end damage gear.
- Slay (A1): Attacks a single target three times. Each critical hit has a chance to place a 5% Poison debuff. Repeats the attack if the target dies.
- Poison Mist (A2): Attacks all enemies twice, placing two 5% Poison debuffs on each target for two turns.
- Catalyst (A3): Attacks all enemies and instantly detonates all active Poison debuffs across all targets, dealing their remaining tick damage at once.
In wave-based content like Dragon's Lair and Minotaur's Labyrinth, applying Poisons with Zavia or starter champions like Kael and then triggering Catalyst clears enemy groups in a single turn.
Early-Game Stat Priorities and Gearing
Early builds should focus on debuff placement and turn frequency rather than raw Attack or Critical Damage. If Zavia lacks sufficient Accuracy or dies prematurely, her abilities provide no value.
- Accuracy: Target roughly 10 points of Accuracy per Dungeon stage (for example, at least 150 Accuracy for Stage 15). Insufficient Accuracy causes her Poison debuffs to be resisted.
- Speed: Aim for 170 or higher to cycle skills ahead of enemy waves.
- Critical Rate: Maintain 85% to 100% Critical Rate to trigger the Poison application on her A1.
- Survivability: Equip an HP% or DEF% chestplate to survive direct boss attacks.
Focus on meeting these stat thresholds through Perception sets from the Forge, alongside standard Speed and Accuracy sets, rather than forcing four-piece offensive sets like Savage or Lethal.
Clan Boss AI Configuration
While Catalyst (A3) speeds up dungeon waves by detonating poisons immediately, Plarium applies a damage cap to Poison explosion mechanics against Clan Boss and high-level Dungeon bosses. Detonating poisons against the Demon Lord yields significantly less overall damage than allowing those debuffs to deal full tick damage naturally over their normal duration.
To prevent Zavia from lowering your Clan Boss damage:
- Open the battle preparation screen before entering Clan Boss.
- Select Team Setup.
- Locate Zavia and find Catalyst (A3).
- Set the skill priority to Disabled.
With Catalyst disabled, Zavia limits her skill rotation to Slay (A1) and Poison Mist (A2), keeping full-duration Poison debuffs stacked on the boss.

This guide answered the exact question I had.
I wish I had read this before upgrading the wrong thing.
This helped me understand redeem codes much better.
Good guide for RAID: Shadow Legends players. The redeem codes part was useful.
