Free-to-play players in RAID: Shadow Legends can reliably score between 100,000 and 200,000 points in Clan vs Clan (CvC) tournaments without spending gems or summoning Sacred and Void Shards. Achieving this benchmark requires holding routine account upgrades—champion tomes, ascensions, Forge crafting, and Great Hall ranks—until the 48-hour tournament window opens.

By dividing your routine into a saving week and an execution week, standard account maintenance supplies the bulk of your tournament score.

Schedule High-Yield Champion Upgrades

Champion development generates substantial tournament points with minimal time investment when timed properly. Level newly acquired champions to rank 50 or 60 as needed during daily play, but delay skill upgrades and final ascensions until CvC begins.

  • Legendary Skill Tomes: Save every Legendary tome for active tournaments. They provide the highest point return per unit of any resource.
  • Epic Skill Tomes: Delay Epic skill upgrades for CvC. They supply dependable mid-tier point spikes.
  • Rare Skill Tomes: Rare tomes offer negligible CvC points and can be spent freely during fusion warmup events or whenever convenient.
  • 5-Star and 6-Star Ascension: Farm Greater and Superior Potions from Arcane and affinity keeps in advance. Ascend your leveled champions immediately after the tournament starts to gain quick points without spending energy during the match.

Batch Craft Perception Gear in the Forge

The Forge converts materials earned passively through Faction Wars and daily quests into tournament points without consuming energy. Hoard Magisteel, Bloodstones, and Soulstones between tournaments, and never craft high-tier gear while CvC is inactive.

  1. Craft Perception sets: Perception gear requires standard Faction Wars materials and provides essential accuracy and speed stats across all stages of account progression.
  2. Target 5-star and 6-star tiers: Restrict crafting to 5-star and 6-star Epic and Legendary pieces for maximum tournament scoring.
  3. Sell flat-stat pieces: Review the completed batch and immediately sell items with flat defense, attack, or HP primary stats on boots, chests, and gauntlets. This silver subsidizes gear upgrades later in the tournament.
  4. Use secondary sets as needed: If Perception materials run out, craft Resilience or Swift Parry pieces with remaining stockpiled supplies.

Time Great Hall Levels and Glyph Enchantments

Upgrading the Great Hall delivers an immediate point surge for currency accumulated through routine Arena play.

  • Delay Great Hall purchases: Medals earned from Classic Arena accumulate between events. Hold your silver and gold medals until CvC goes live, particularly when unlocking bonuses between level 7 and level 10.
  • Apply 4-star to 6-star glyphs: Hoard high-rank speed, accuracy, and resistance glyphs earned from Faction Wars. Apply them to newly forged Perception items or core Clan Boss gear during the tournament.
  • Ignore low-tier glyphs: Do not spend time applying 1-star or 2-star glyphs solely for CvC, as their point returns do not justify the effort.

Maximize Daily Keys and Regeneration Timers

Regenerating resources must never sit at capacity during the 48-hour tournament window.

  • Tag Team Arena farming: Lower your Tag Team Arena defense to a single champion to fall into Bronze or low Silver. This ensures 20 fast offensive wins daily, awarding steady CvC points alongside Gold Bars for Bazaar purchases.
  • Faction Wars keys: Use every daily key across your highest farmable crypt stages. These runs cost zero energy and generate both direct points and future Forge materials.
  • Spider Dungeon farming: When spending standard energy, prioritize Spider stage 20 or higher. Spider runs offer fast clear times, drop accessories that award strong completion points, and provide high-value gear to sell for silver.

The Bi-Weekly Routine

Maintain a predictable two-week rhythm to meet clan requirements consistently:

  1. Off-Week (Accumulation): Collect Faction Wars keys daily, stockpile Forge materials, win Arena medals, and gather potions. Level candidate champions, but withhold their books, ascensions, and Great Hall unlocks.
  2. Tournament Week (Execution): Spend saved tomes, ascend prepared champions, craft 5-star and 6-star gear in bulk, purchase queued Great Hall ranks, and spend all daily Arena and Faction Wars keys before they cap.
