Before opening shards during the guaranteed Tinman event in RAID: Shadow Legends, check your current shard inventory against the exact pull threshold set for the event. If you do not have enough shards to reach the final guaranteed milestone, pass on the event entirely to keep your shard reserve intact.

Evaluating Shard Costs and Resource Trade-Offs

Guaranteed summoning events eliminate pull variance by providing a fixed target threshold. However, partial participation creates severe resource waste.

  • Avoid partial pulls: Spending half of the required shards depletes your reserve without securing Tinman. If your hoard falls short of the threshold, hold your shards.
  • Evaluate event overlap: Check whether the summoning window aligns with a active Summon Rush or Champion Chase tournament. Overlapping events allow you to claim milestone rewards while working toward the guaranteed milestone.
  • Weigh opportunity costs: Compare the value of securing Tinman against upcoming account needs. Shards spent here cannot be used for upcoming Fusion events, 2x probability boosts, or 10x target events.

Early Account Setup and Resource Farming

For new players starting an account during this event window, promotional links and creator codes (such as code BOOZOR) provide starting roster unlocks including Mavara, Criodan (unlocked at level 10), and Venomage.

Building these starter champions gives you an immediate team for early Clan Boss battles. Because the Clan Boss is the primary daily source for earning higher-tier shards, establishing a consistent daily Clan Boss team is the most effective way to fund future guaranteed summoning events.

Post-Summon Development and Next Actions

If you meet the threshold and secure Tinman, transition immediately into upgrading the champion's combat stats rather than hoarding energy.

  1. Level to 60: Raise Tinman to level 60 as quickly as possible to unlock full base stats and mastery potential.
  2. Match gear to role: Assign gear based on kit function. Focus on survivability stats for defensive support roles, or prioritize Critical Rate and Critical Damage for damage-focused kits.
  3. Farm target dungeons: If your current gear inventory lacks suitable pieces, pause summoning and farm the Dragon's Lair or Fire Knight's Castle to secure proper artifact sets.
