RAID: Shadow Legends: Early Progression Guide for Mavara Accounts

When starting a new account in RAID: Shadow Legends—particularly when utilizing promotional creator links that offer a legendary carry like Mavara alongside bonus epics—the single most effective action is to funnel all initial energy, gems, and food champions into leveling your primary carry unit to Level 60 (Rank 6). Spreading resources evenly across a full team of Level 50 champions severely slows down early campaign and dungeon clearing speed.

Early Progression Priorities

To establish an efficient early-game setup during your first 30 days, follow this specific resource priority order:

Push your primary carry to Level 60: A single Rank 6 champion provides a much larger stat increase than multiple Rank 5 units. This allows your carry to solo-farm campaign stages like 12-3 Brutal and carry fodder units efficiently.
Unlock full masteries with gems: Spend your initial gem earnings directly on full masteries for your primary carry hero. This guaranteed power boost provides necessary damage output and sustain without relying on random shard pulls.
Upgrade gear main stats conservatively: Prioritize primary stats such as Attack% or Critical Damage for damage carries, alongside Speed on boots. Limit gear upgrades on early equipment to level 8 or level 12 to preserve scarce silver for mid-game gear.

Early Resource Allocation Strategy

Focus Area	Recommended Action	Action to Avoid
Experience & Energy	Focus 100% of campaign energy into raising your primary carry to Level 60.	Spreading experience evenly to create a full team of Level 50 units.
Gems	Purchase full masteries for your main carry; buy energy refills.	Gambling gems on shard packs during your first month.
Silver & Gear	Upgrade 4-star and 5-star items with key main stats to level 8 or 12.	Upgrading mediocre low-tier gear all the way to level 16.
Secondary Roster	Level utility champions that provide healing, turn-meter control, or key debuffs.	Investing ascension materials and food into champions without immediate roles.

Target Milestones for Dungeons and Clan Boss

Once your primary carry reaches Level 60 with complete masteries, direct your daily keys and energy toward structural progression goals:

Demon Lord (Clan Boss): Build your initial team around survival. Prioritize champions that inflict essential debuffs like Decrease Attack or Poison to extend battle duration and secure daily reward chests containing shards and skill books.
Dragon's Lair: Push dungeon stages as high as your primary carry and support team can consistently handle. Avoid extensive energy farming in lower dungeon stages; aim for stages that drop 5-star and 6-star gear pieces.
Affinity Counters: If your primary carry struggles against specific dungeon affinities, pair them with support units that offer shielding, healing, or turn-meter control functions rather than building an entirely new damage dealer right away.
