RAID: Shadow Legends Dorothy Event and Early Progression Guide

During the Wizard of Oz collaboration event in RAID: Shadow Legends, new players should immediately secure the free legendary hero Dorothy through the Event tab while directing their daily energy toward campaign leveling rather than early dungeon grinding. Securing a high-tier hero early provides a strong damage and utility backbone for your team, while campaign farming establishes the food champions needed to rank up your core lineup.

Claiming Dorothy and Tracking Event Milestones

The Wizard of Oz crossover allows players to add legendary hero Dorothy to their account without relying on standard shard luck. Because legendary champions significantly improve your clear rates in early and mid-game content, securing Dorothy should take top priority over general dungeon progression.

To ensure you complete the required event goals:

Check the Event tab daily to view active point thresholds and event deadlines.
Complete daily missions to gain energy refills and progression materials alongside event points.
Spend your daily Arena tokens to collect medals for Great Hall upgrades, which provide permanent account-wide stat bonuses regardless of your Arena rank.

Campaign Leveling and Food Farming Strategy

To prepare your roster for higher-tier content, focus your energy on campaign stages to level up your starter hero and rank up lower-tier "food" champions (common and uncommon units consumed during champion ranking).

Equip Lifesteal Gear: Build your primary campaign damage dealer with your best Lifesteal artifact set to ensure self-sustain during solo clears.
Farm Stage 12-3: Run Stage 12-3 on Brutal difficulty whenever possible, as it provides an optimal ratio of experience points and Silver per energy spent.
Rotate Fodder Champions: Pair your main campaign starter with three low-level food champions. Swap out food units once they hit their maximum level cap and rank them up to feed your primary units.

Early Resource and Gear Management

Managing early energy, shards, and gear prevents bottlenecks when transitioning into late-game activities.

Resource / System	Early-Game Action	Strategy & Objective
Energy	Campaign Farming	Spend daily energy on campaign progression and event milestones rather than early Dungeons like Dragon's Lair or Spider's Den.
Shards	Save for 2x Events	Hold Ancient, Void, and Sacred shards for 2x boost events to maximize the odds of summoning Epic and Legendary champions.
Artifacts	Prioritize Main Stats	Equip gear with flat or percentage Attack, Defense, or HP main stats. Ignore sub-stat optimization until high-tier gear is unlocked.
Masteries	Basic Mastery Paths	Unlock initial offense or defense masteries for key damage dealers before committing heavy resources to complete mastery trees.
