RAID: Shadow Legends Speed Gear Filtering Guide

To clear your storage after a farming session in RAID: Shadow Legends, immediately sell artifacts with flat primary stats on bottom-row gear, then roll remaining pieces with Speed sub-stats to level 8 or level 12 to prune low-tier stat upgrades.

Holding onto mediocre gear prevents you from storing high-roll pieces and drains silver that could be used on high-priority upgrades. Establishing clear rules for gear retention keeps your inventory manageable and ensures your champions hit their required turn-order thresholds.

Immediate Filtering Criteria

Before spending silver on upgrades, run a preliminary filter across all newly farmed artifacts to purge obvious dead weight:

Flat Main Stats: Sell gauntlets, chests, and boots that feature flat HP, ATK, or DEF as their main stat. These pieces scale far worse than percentage-based main stats in standard champion builds.
Low Rank and Rarity: Treat gear below 5-star rank with high scrutiny. For late-game progression, prioritize 5-star and 6-star Rare, Epic, or Legendary pieces, as lower-rank items cannot reach optimal stat ceilings.
Missing Speed Sub-stats: If an item lacks a Speed sub-stat and does not fill a dedicated bulk or damage niche, sell it immediately.

Upgrading Artifacts to Test Roll Potential

Do not take every piece of gear straight to level 16. Test sub-stat distribution systematically using incremental upgrade milestones to minimize silver waste.

Upgrade Level	Primary Objective	Action Trigger
Level 4	Reveal initial sub-stat bonus	If the roll misses Speed on a candidate piece, evaluate whether to sell or proceed.
Level 8	Confirm secondary roll trajectory	Sell immediately if the first two rolls miss Speed or land on low-value stats.
Level 12	Lock in primary sub-stat viability	Keep the item only if sub-stat rolls hit high Speed values or necessary stat synergies.
Level 16	Maximize primary stat value	Reserve for top-tier gear that successfully hit its key sub-stat roll targets.

If a piece with a Speed sub-stat fails to land rolls on Speed by level 8 or 12, sell it immediately. Recovering silver from failed upgrade checks is more valuable than keeping an item with weak stat distribution.

Managing Inventory During High-Volume Farming

During boosted drop windows—such as x3 Speed gear farming events—your storage will fill rapidly. Waiting until your storage capacity is completely full creates unnecessary bottlenecks.

Run Periodic Purges: Perform a quick filter audit after every standard farming block rather than waiting until the entire session ends.
Prioritize Speed Over Set Synergies: A piece with broken set bonuses but multiple high Speed sub-stat rolls is often more valuable for turn-order tuning than a complete set with low Speed stats.
Clean Out Outgrown Gear: Periodically review previously upgraded level 12 and 16 pieces stored in inventory. Sell off older mid-tier artifacts whenever newer farming pulls yield superior sub-stat rolls.
