RAID: Shadow Legends: Bad-el-Kazar or Scartorsis Starter Code

Pick Bad-el-Kazar over Scartorsis if you are choosing a starter Legendary promo code for a new account in RAID: Shadow Legends. Bad-el-Kazar solves the most difficult early-game hurdles by providing guaranteed team-wide healing, debuff cleansing, and percentage-based Poison damage. You must redeem your chosen new player code within 72 hours of account creation before claiming any other promo code.

Why Bad-el-Kazar Is the Superior Pick

Brand-new accounts operate with limited gear and small champion rosters, making role consolidation essential. Bad-el-Kazar compresses three critical progression roles—healer, cleanser, and boss damage dealer—into a single champion kit:

Guaranteed sustain and cleansing: His A2 cleanses all debuffs from all allies while placing two 15% Continuous Heal buffs on the entire team.
Passive team damage scaling: His passive skill increases damage dealt to poisoned enemies by 15% for all allies, enhancing your campaign starter's damage output.
Gear-independent boss damage: He places two 5% Poison debuffs on all enemies. Because Poison deals damage based on the enemy's maximum health, he inflicts millions of points of boss damage without requiring advanced offensive stats.
Solo farming potential: His combined healing and passive damage allow him to sustain through Minotaur scrolls, Potion Keeps, and Dragon's Lair stages up to Stage 20.

When Scartorsis Has Value

Scartorsis is an Undead Hordes support champion suited for wave clear, turn meter manipulation, and offensive setup rather than sustained boss encounters. His kit offers specific offensive utility:

Offensive buffs: His A3 cleanses all debuffs from allies and grants a 50% Increase Attack buff and a 30% Increase Critical Rate buff.
Dungeon Speed aura: He boosts ally Speed in Dungeons across all battle stages.
Turn meter control: His attacks can steal enemy buffs, deplete enemy turn meters, and fill his own turn meter.

However, Scartorsis falls short for early progression because his healing is conditional. He only restores ally health based on the number of debuffs he removes, making his healing unreliable against bosses that do not spam debuffs. He also lacks damage-over-time effects, making him ineffective in Demon Lord Clan Boss battles. Pick Scartorsis only if your roster already features dedicated poisoners and healers and specifically lacks turn meter control and offensive buffs.

How to Redeem Starter Codes Without Lockout

New player promo codes follow strict redemption limitations. If you make a mistake during redemption, you cannot claim a replacement starter code on the same account.

Create a fresh account and finish the introductory tutorial.
Open the slide-out menu on the left side of the Bastion screen.
Select the Promo Codes tab.
Enter your chosen starter code (such as BOORAID for Scartorsis, or the corresponding new player code for Bad-el-Kazar) exactly as written, with no extra spaces.
Confirm the entry and open your in-game mailbox to collect the champion before the mailbox timer expires.
Level your campaign starter champion to 60 first to farm campaign stages, then build Bad-el-Kazar to level 60 as your primary support anchor.
