RAID: Shadow Legends Galek Starter Account Progression Guide

If you choose Galek as your starter champion in RAID: Shadow Legends through the promotional reward link, your immediate goal is to take Galek to Rank 6 (level 60) first so he can act as your main campaign farmer, while leveraging Rector Drath and Faein as account level unlocks to carry early boss fights and dungeon content.

Account Level Reward Structure

The promotional starting offer grants three specific Champions as you establish and level up your account:

Unlocking Rector Drath at account level 1 immediately establishes your survival engine. You do not need to spend early resources pulling shards to find a healer; Rector Drath keeps your team alive while you focus your gear and XP resources directly on Galek.

Galek Campaign Farming Priority

Galek should be the first Champion you push to level 60. His ability kit relies on speed and AoE attacks, making him built to quickly clear multi-enemy campaign waves. Clearing campaign stages quickly allows you to level up lower-tier "food" Champions efficiently, which speeds up future Rank upgrades across your entire roster.

When gearing Galek during the early progression quests:

• Attack & Critical Rate: Boost his damage output so he can clear waves in fewer turns.
• Speed: Ensure Galek takes turns faster than enemy campaign waves to keep clear times short.
• Defensive Stats: Defensive gear is a low priority early on, as Rector Drath provides enough healing and sustain to keep Galek alive through campaign progression.

Resource Management Strategy for New Accounts

Having a fixed starter trio of Galek, Rector Drath, and Faein changes how you should spend early currency:

1. Save Gems for refills or Masteries: Avoid spending Gems on early Shard packs. Instead, use Gems to purchase Energy refills for campaign farming or buy full Skill Masteries directly for Galek once he hits level 60.
2. Hold Shards for 2x Summoning Events: Because your core team roles (damage, support, and utility) are covered early, store your Ancient and Void Shards until 2x double-chance summoning events occur.
3. Transition to Dungeons at Level 50+: Once Galek, Rector Drath, and Faein reach level 50 and above, shift your energy focus from campaign farming to farming gear in the Dragon's Lair or Fire Knight's Castle. Rector Drath's defensive buffs and Faein's single-target pressure provide the toolkit needed to tackle higher dungeon tiers and early Clan Boss encounters.
