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
- Complete the Tutorial: Play through the intro battles until the game opens full menu access.
- Redeem Promo Codes: Enter active creation or server codes before spending initial resources to prevent wasting natural energy regeneration.
- Select Your Primary Carry: Direct all starter gear, food champions, and experience boosts toward your main damage dealer.
- 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 Resource Priority
| Resource | Early Priority | Target Allocation |
|---|---|---|
| Energy Refills | High | Save inbox refills until you have active gameplay time; do not overflow maximum natural cap. |
| XP Boosts | High | Activate during active campaign farming sessions to maximize carry champion leveling speed. |
| Gear (4-Star+) | High | Upgrade items with primary stats like Attack% or Crit Rate; skip spending Silver on low-star gear. |
| Ancient/Sacred Shards | Medium | Hold for 2x pull events unless actively tracking Mercy counter thresholds for guaranteed events. |
| Epic/Legendary Tomes | Controlled | Reserve for high-utility champions featuring turn-meter manipulation or essential debuffs. |
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.
