If you’re moving from early to mid-game in RAID: Shadow Legends, first build a campaign farmer and focus your resources on a small core of champions. Then develop teams for Clan Boss and Dungeons instead of trying to upgrade your entire roster at once.

Establish a campaign farmer and rank up your core

The draft recommends using a starter champion such as Kael to farm Brutal Stage 12-3, after ascending and equipping that champion. Use campaign farming to level food champions for ranking up your core roster.

Prioritize taking key champions to 6 stars rather than spreading upgrades across many 4- and 5-star champions. The draft does not identify a specific core roster, so choose the champions you plan to use in Clan Boss and Dungeons.

Develop a Clan Boss team

Build a team that can survive while dealing damage. The draft identifies Poison, Decrease Attack, and Defense Down as useful debuffs to consider when selecting champions.

Use your available Clan Boss keys consistently, even if your team is not ready for a higher difficulty. The draft advises working toward top chests on lower difficulties, but it does not specify which difficulty or chest your account can reach. Invest skill-up Tomes in champions you use for Clan Boss before spending them on champions used only in Arena.

Farm Dungeon gear for your teams

As your teams progress, farm Dungeons for gear. The draft suggests aiming for Stage 13 or 16 in Dragon’s Lair and other Dungeons, but it does not clarify which stages apply to each Dungeon. Treat those numbers as targets from the draft, not a guarantee that they are appropriate for your account.

When comparing gear, consider the stats on a piece as well as its set bonus. The draft highlights Speed, Critical Rate, and Accuracy substats, and recommends avoiding upgrades to every item you find. Keep Silver for pieces that fit the champions you are building.

Add Masteries to priority champions

Focus Masteries on your main damage dealers and support champions for Clan Boss and Dungeons rather than trying to complete them for every champion at once. The draft describes using Gems to buy Masteries for early champions and farming Minotaur’s Labyrinth for scrolls later. It also names Warmaster and Giant Slayer as Tier 6 Mastery examples.

Save Shards and choose events selectively

The draft recommends saving Ancient, Void, and Sacred Shards for Summon Rush or Champion Chase events, where they may contribute toward additional rewards. It does not provide event schedules or reward requirements, so check those details before deciding whether to spend your Shards.

Choose limited-time events or tournaments that match your current goal, such as leveling a champion or farming a Dungeon. Focus on one main objective at a time rather than trying to complete every activity.
