RAID: Shadow Legends 1+1 Legendary Summon Event Guide

To maximize your high-rarity pulls in RAID: Shadow Legends, save your summoning shards for "1+1" (Extra Legendary) events and track your mercy system threshold. During a 1+1 event, pulling a single Legendary champion automatically yields a second bonus Legendary champion from the same shard pool.

How 1+1 Extra Legendary Events Work

The 1+1 event is one of the most resource-efficient summoning windows in RAID: Shadow Legends. When this event is active for a specific shard type—such as Ancient or Sacred shards—the first Legendary champion you summon triggers an immediate, free second Legendary champion pull.

To get full value from these event windows, practice strict shard management:

• Hold shards in reserve: Avoid pulling Ancient or Sacred shards outside of active 1+1 or double-rate events.
• Confirm active banners: Check the portal banner before pulling to verify that the 1+1 event applies to the specific shard type you intend to use.
• Stop after triggering the bonus: Once you successfully trigger the 1+1 bonus, the event benefit for that window is typically consumed. Save any remaining shards for the next event.

Tracking Mercy Counters for Guaranteed Double Pulls

RAID: Shadow Legends features an internal mercy (pity) system that increases your chance of summoning a Legendary champion after a continuous streak of non-legendary pulls on a given shard type.

Combining the mercy system with a 1+1 event guarantees double output from your accumulated pulls. If you know your account is close to its mercy threshold, hold your shards until a 1+1 event begins. Triggering your pity Legendary during this event ensures you receive the bonus champion alongside your guaranteed drop, doubling the return on your spent shards.

Maximizing Event Overlaps and Resource Preparation

Pulling champions efficiently requires preparing your account resources before opening shards.

1. Audit your roster gaps: Determine whether your account currently needs specific roles, such as crowd control, speed boosters, debuffers, or Clan Boss sustain units.
2. Prepare fodder champions: Keep lower-rarity uncommon and rare champions ranked up in advance so you can quickly elevate newly pulled Legendaries.
3. Align with Champion Training events: Check for active Champion Training events or tournaments before summoning. Leveling and ranking up your new double pulls during these windows allows you to earn milestone rewards simultaneously.
4. Manage Silver and Energy: Reserve silver for artifact upgrades and save energy refills to level new units immediately after pulling.

Developing New Legendary Champions

A newly acquired Legendary champion only improves account progression once properly equipped and upgraded.

Gear Allocation

Equip artifacts based on the champion's primary role rather than raw rarity:

• Crowd Control & Support: Prioritize Speed and Accuracy sets so debuffs land consistently before enemy turns.
• Clan Boss Progression: Focus on sets like Lifesteal combined with high Accuracy and Defense to survive long encounter turns.

Mastery Farming

Do not field new Legendary champions in late-game modes like Doom Tower or high-level Arena without complete masteries. Spend daily energy running the Minotaur's Labyrinth to collect all required scrolls for your primary team roster.
