To unlock the Legendary champion Dorothy in RAID: Shadow Legends, log into the game during the limited-time late-October World of Oz crossover event and claim her directly from the promotional login calendar. Once she joins your roster, invest your early resources into making her your primary damage dealer and Campaign farmer to speed up progression through Normal, Hard, and Brutal stages.
Claiming Dorothy from the Oz Login Calendar
Dorothy is distributed through a dedicated promotional login track rather than standard shard summoning pools. Unlocking her does not require clearing specific dungeons, spending Sacred Shards, or buying event passes.
Follow these steps to claim her:
- Log into your account daily immediately after the server reset.
- Open the promotional event tab to record your daily login credit.
- Collect the intermediate milestone rewards assigned to each day.
- Claim Dorothy once you reach the required day threshold on the event tracker.
Because collaboration champions are time-limited and typically exit the summoning pool after the crossover ends, consecutive daily logins are essential. Missing days late in the event schedule risks running out of time before reaching Dorothy's milestone.
Early Campaign Build for Dorothy
Dorothy provides area-of-effect damage and utility, allowing new accounts to clear early Campaign stages without relying solely on starter Rare champions. To maximize her farming efficiency, equip her in the starter four-piece Lifesteal artifact set rewarded from beginner challenges, paired with a two-piece Speed or Offense set.
Focus on the following primary stats on her bottom-row gear to keep her alive and ensure she takes turns before wave enemies:
| Equipment Slot | Target Main Stat | Progression Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Boots | Speed | Moves before enemy waves in Campaign and early Dungeons |
| Chestplate | ATK% | Scales base skill damage to wipe minion waves efficiently |
| Gauntlets | Critical Rate% | Drives Critical Rate toward 85–100% for consistent damage |
| Substats | Speed, Crit Rate, ATK% | Stabilizes burst damage and turn frequency |
Food Farming and Rank Up Priorities
Direct all early Campaign experience into upgrading Dorothy to Rank 6 before building alternate damage dealers. A single Rank 6 carry provides significantly higher base stats and clear speed than multiple Rank 5 champions.
Activate active 100% XP Boosters and run Campaign Stage 12-3 on the highest unlocked difficulty to level common and uncommon champions as rank-up fodder. Farm the Arcane Keep and her respective Affinity Keep during mid-week rotations to gather the ascension potions needed to unlock her full skill values and accessory slots.
Optimizing Starter Promo Codes and Resources
New accounts created during the late-October launch window can redeem one new-player promotional code within the first 72 hours of account creation. These codes provide starter Silver, Energy refills, XP Boosters, and occasional bonus champions.
Allocate onboarding resources carefully to support your main carry:
- Energy Refills: Spend refills while 100% XP Boosters are active on Stage 12-3. Avoid claiming refills from your inbox if your energy bar is already full, as this halts natural energy regeneration.
- Silver: Upgrade core 4-star and 5-star artifacts with appropriate main stats to Level 12 or 16. Do not spend millions of Silver taking 2-star or 3-star starter gear to Level 16.
- Gems: Save your first 800 Gems to purchase complete masteries for Dorothy directly from the Champion screen, bypassing the early Minotaur's Labyrinth grind.
- Skill Tomes: Reserve rare Legendary Skill Tomes exclusively for Dorothy's cooldown reductions. Never spend Legendary Tomes on Epic or Rare champions.
Evaluating Companion Events: Scarecrow and Tin Woodman
The World of Oz collaboration features secondary companion champions, including Scarecrow and Tin Woodman, available through concurrent events such as fusions, tournaments, or milestone tracks.
Before committing resources to companion events, review your inventory:
- Shard and Energy Reserves: Completing auxiliary fusion or leaderboard events requires substantial stockpiles of Ancient Shards, Sacred Shards, and Energy. If completing these tracks threatens to deplete your resources completely, skip them.
- Roster Utility: Scarecrow and Tin Woodman offer specialized utility in mid-to-late-game areas such as Sand Devil and Cursed City. Dorothy provides broader daily utility across Clan Boss, Arena offense, and Potion Keeps, making her the essential priority for account growth.

I wish I had read this before upgrading the wrong thing.
The tips are practical and easy to follow.
Nice guide. I am checking the other RAID: Shadow Legends articles next.
This saved me time in the early game.
