RAID: Shadow Legends First Month Progression Guide

To progress efficiently during your first month in RAID: Shadow Legends, upgrade your primary starter champion to level 60 immediately and save your Gems to fully unlock their Masteries. Focusing all initial energy and experience into a single maxed-out carry allows you to solo-farm campaign stages, upgrade lower-rarity "food" champions faster, and reliably generate resources for mid-game content.

Early Progression Milestones

Rather than spreading your early Silver, Skill Tomes, and XP across a wide roster of low-level or high-rarity units, funnel everything into your starter champion until they reach max rank.

Managing Early Resources and Shards

Random Shard summons are unpredictable and high-rarity champions require heavy Silver and Skill Tome investments that early accounts cannot sustain. Avoid spending Gems on Shard packs during your first month.

Instead, allocate your resources using these steps:

1. Unlock Masteries First: Save Gems specifically to purchase full Masteries for your main level 60 starter, providing a substantial stat and capability jump that early gear cannot match.
2. Focus on Guaranteed Champions: Build starter units and login reward champions who are balanced specifically for early campaign and dungeon clears.
3. Spend Energy on Campaign: Direct your initial Energy toward clear progression in Campaign mode to farm Silver and base gear sets rather than burning resources on low-level dungeon stages.

Transitioning to Clan Boss and Dragon's Lair

Once your starter champion is at level 60 and capable of clearing campaign stages consistently, shift your daily routine toward Clan Boss and early dungeon runs:

• Clan Boss Daily: Participate every day to earn passive income, including Shards and Skill Tomes. Build support champions alongside your carry that apply essential debuffs such as Decrease Attack and Poison.
• Dragon's Lair Farming: Prioritize Dragon's Lair over other dungeons to acquire Speed gear sets.
• Prioritize Auto Consistency: Only farm dungeon stages that your team can clear reliably on Auto mode. Consistent clears on lower difficulties yield far better gear progression than risking failed runs on higher stages.

By the end of your first month, a structured account should be comfortably farming Stage 12-3 on Brutal difficulty, establishing the steady income of experience and Silver needed to systematically expand your team.
