Redeem active promo codes in RAID: Shadow Legends immediately after completing the tutorial phase, and direct all early resources into taking a single primary damage dealer to level 60. Focusing your initial Silver, Energy refills, and XP Boosts on one carry champion allows you to farm Campaign stage 12-3 on Brutal difficulty, which provides the foundation for leveling future team members efficiently.

New Account Setup Sequence

  1. Complete the Tutorial: Play through the intro battles until the game opens full menu access.
  2. Redeem Promo Codes: Enter active creation or server codes before spending initial resources to prevent wasting natural energy regeneration.
  3. Select Your Primary Carry: Direct all starter gear, food champions, and experience boosts toward your main damage dealer.
  4. Push Campaign Difficulty: Clear Normal and Hard Campaign stages until your carry champion can solo-farm stage 12-3 on Brutal difficulty with three lower-tier "food" units.

Early Progression Guidelines

  • Avoid Over-Investing in Support Champions: While support units are necessary for team survival in dungeons, spend main leveling and gear resources on your primary damage dealer first.
  • Keep Shard Expectations Realistic: Promo codes and starter packs offer early shards, but spending them outside of increased-rate events reduces your chances of pulling high-tier Epic or Legendary champions.
  • Limit Silver Spending on Low-Tier Equipment: Upgrading 1-star to 3-star gear costs currency that is better saved for 4-star or higher gear with stats suited to campaign farming.
