RAID: Shadow Legends Gear Cleanse and Artifact Selling Guide

To cleanse your artifact inventory in RAID: Shadow Legends and recover Silver, immediately sell bottom-row gear with flat primary stats, discard top-row pieces lacking clear substat synergy, and test-roll unverified Epic and Legendary gear to Level 4 or Level 8.

Immediate Auto-Sell Rules for Bottom-Row Artifacts

Bottom-row slots—Gloves, Chestplates, and Boots—have variable primary stats. Because percentage-based primary stats grant significantly higher stat pools on upgraded Rank 6 gear (up to 60%), flat primary stats disqualify almost all bottom-row pieces past the early game.

• Gloves: Keep Critical Rate, Critical Damage, HP%, and DEF%. Automatically sell gloves with flat ATK, flat DEF, or flat HP as the primary stat.
• Chestplates: Keep HP%, DEF%, Accuracy, and ATK% (for dedicated damage dealers). Instantly sell chests with flat HP, flat DEF, or flat ATK.
• Boots: Speed is the primary baseline across PvE and PvP content. Sell boots with flat HP, flat DEF, or flat ATK. Keep HP% or ATK% boots only if they roll high Speed substats for speed-tuned champions.

Filtering Top-Row Pieces by Substat Synergy

Top-row pieces—Weapons, Helmets, and Shields—always roll fixed primary stats (ATK, HP, and DEF respectively). Their value depends entirely on rarity, rank, and substat cohesion. Discard pieces that combine contradictory stats, such as offensive Critical Damage alongside defensive flat HP and Resistance, without Speed.

As your account progresses, 5-star Rare top-row pieces lose practical utility compared to 6-star Epic and Legendary items and should be sold to recover storage space.

The Level 4 and Level 8 Test-Roll Protocol

Unrolled Epic and Legendary artifacts take up inventory space while hiding their actual utility. Test-rolling separates functional gear from Silver fodder without overcommitting resources.

1. Check at Level 4: If an Epic piece has one critical stat (such as Speed) alongside two low-value flat stats, roll it to Level 4. If the upgrade misses your target stat, evaluate whether the piece can still serve an auxiliary champion.
2. Check at Level 8: If the roll misses the target stat a second time at Level 8, sell the piece immediately. Do not push failed gear to Level 12 or Level 16.
3. Evaluate Legendary Rolls: Late-game progression requires focused triple or quadruple rolls in high-impact stats like Speed, Critical Rate, or Accuracy. Discard Legendary gear whose upgrades split evenly across four unrelated attributes.

Set-Specific Filtering Standards

Adjust your substat threshold based on the power and utility of the artifact set:

• High-Impact Sets: Sets such as Speed, Perception, Savage, Lethal, and Stoneskin justify looser substat standards. A piece in a Speed set with an unrolled Speed substat is worth rolling to Level 4 or Level 8.
• Niche or Farmable Sets: Weak or niche sets, including Curing, Frost, Daze, Destroy, and basic Campaign drops, require near-perfect rolls to justify storage. Sell pieces from these sets unless they hit triple Speed or ideal percentage rolls.
• Sets vs. Raw Stats: Discard pieces kept merely to complete a weak set bonus. Well-rolled broken sets with high primary and secondary stats outperform low-tier completed sets.

Purging Accessory Storage

Faction accessories accumulate quickly in storage and require strict primary-to-substat matching:

• Rings: Rings only carry flat HP, DEF, or ATK as main stats. Keep rings only when their substats match their main stat (HP% on HP rings, DEF% on DEF rings, and ATK% on ATK rings). Sell rings with mismatched or entirely flat substats.
• Amulets: Keep Critical Damage amulets for damage dealers, and HP or DEF amulets for support champions. Sell flat ATK amulets immediately.
• Banners: Prioritize Accuracy banners for debuffers and champions requiring crowd control. Keep HP, DEF, or ATK banners only if they carry high Speed substats for champions who do not land debuffs. Sell banners that lack both Accuracy and Speed.
