RAID: Shadow Legends F2P 2-Week Starter Progression Guide

To maximize account progression on a free-to-play (F2P) account in RAID: Shadow Legends within your first two weeks, prioritize taking your starter champion directly to rank 6 and level 60. Splitting resources across multiple champions at level 40 or 50 slows down campaign farming, which serves as the core progression engine for ranking up future team members.

Step-by-Step Two-Week Progression Order

Follow this sequence to establish a stable campaign farming pipeline and lock in daily resource income:

Rank Up Starter Champion to Level 60: Funnel early food champions and experience into your main starter hero before spending energy on secondary roster members.
Unlock Tier 6 Masteries with Gems: Purchase your starter's full masteries directly with gems rather than grinding the early stages of Minotaur's Labyrinth.
Establish Brutal 12-3 Campaign Farming: Clear up to Brutal difficulty Stage 12-3. Run this stage with your starter damage dealer and three low-rank food champions to efficiently gain silver and rank-up material.
Unlock the Gem Mine: Invest earned gems into the Gem Mine to create a steady source of passive income for long-term progression.
Build an Early Clan Boss Roster: Assemble champions capable of placing Decrease Attack and Poison debuffs to secure daily chests on Easy and Normal Clan Boss difficulties.

Early-Game F2P Resource Priorities

Managing currency and energy efficiently prevents early bottlenecks. Hold summon materials for specialized event windows, and avoid splitting energy between progression goals before your campaign farmer is running reliably.

Currency / Resource	Primary Early Focus	Core Management Rule
Gems	Starter Masteries & Gem Mine	Avoid purchasing energy refills early unless competing in high-value events.
Ancient & Sacred Shards	2x Summon Events	Hold all high-tier shards until 2x events double Epic and Legendary drop rates.
Energy	Brutal Stage 12-3 Farming	Skip Dragon and Spider dungeons until a level 60 campaign farmer is operational.

Maximizing Daily Progression Mechanics

Completing your full list of daily quests and advanced quests every day provides consistent reserves of energy, silver, and experience. Save extra energy rewards in your inbox to use during high-value event periods or emergency pushes.

Join an active clan immediately. Consistently defeating the Clan Boss on Easy or Normal difficulties provides daily chests containing extra shards, skill tomes, and gear. When gearing your Clan Boss champions, prioritize Speed, Accuracy, and HP stats to extend combat survival and maximize debuff uptime.
