To maximize your score during Clan vs. Clan (CvC) tournaments in RAID: Shadow Legends, delay major champion progression milestones until the event is active. Higher-rarity units, such as Mythical champions (like Mavara), yield substantial point values when ranked up, ascended, or leveled. Stockpiling progression materials outside of events allows you to convert standard account upgrades into immediate tournament points for your clan.

Stockpiling and Timing Champion Upgrades

Executing upgrades during active CvC windows requires preparing high-value materials in advance and holding them until the event opens:

  • Ascension Timing: Save Greater and Superior Potions gathered from Potion Keeps. Ascending high-rarity champions from 1 to 6 stars generates large point injections. Delay the final ascension tiers on key units until tournament scoring begins.
  • Rank-Up Preparation: Train common and uncommon fodder champions to 5 stars during non-event periods. Store these food champions in your vault so you can immediately perform 6-star rank-ups on Legendary or Mythical targets as soon as CvC points activate.
  • XP Brew Usage: After ranking up a Mythical champion, feed them stockpiled XP Brews to rapidly reach their new level cap. High-rarity champions offer greater point returns per level gained, making Brew usage on Mythicals during CvC highly resource-efficient.

Organize your resource spending around event cycles to avoid running low when tournament scoring starts.

Evaluating Progression Delays vs. Tournament Scoring

Holding back champion upgrades creates a temporary delay in account power. Consider your current progression requirements before freezing champion development:

  • Competitive Clans: If your clan requires strict CvC point contributions to secure tournament tier rewards, delaying rank-ups and ascensions for a few days provides maximum overall benefit.
  • Immediate PvE Needs: If a newly pulled Mythical champion is strictly required to clear daily Clan Boss keys or push higher Hydra difficulty tiers, holding off on upgrading them can result in lost daily rewards. In casual clans, prioritize immediate PvE development over event scoring.
