To complete the Theimios the Everdrinker fusion in RAID: Shadow Legends, players relying primarily on the Summon Rush event should prepare at least 4 to 5 Sacred Shards. Pulling high-yield Sacred Shards during active event windows provides the standard point total required for fusion fragments without exhausting lower-tier shard stockpiles.
Sacred Shard Targets and Event Planning
Sacred Shards give the highest point value per pull, making them the primary safeguard for hitting fragment thresholds. Relying heavily on Ancient or Void shards to make up a point deficit often drains account reserves and harms long-term progression.
| Shard Type / Method | Core Function in Fusion | Usage Guidance |
|---|---|---|
| Sacred Shards | Primary point generator for Summon Rush | Have 4–5 ready before the event; maintain a 3–4 shard buffer for future events. |
| Ancient & Void Shards | Point supplements | Use only to bridge small point gaps when Sacred Shard supply is insufficient. |
| Portal Champion Fragments | Shard-free points during Champion Chase | Save completed fragment summons in your portal until Champion Chase goes live. |
| Mystery Shards | Emergency gap filler | Farm campaign for mystery shards and pull them as a final resort for minimal points. |
Never open shards before the fusion schedule officially starts. Check the in-game event calendar immediately upon announcement to compare the fragment-to-point requirement ratio between the Summon Rush and Champion Chase events.
Maximizing Champion Chase Without Pulling Extra Shards
Champion Chase events grant points whenever a champion is acquired, including summons from stored portal fragments rather than shard pulls alone.
- Hold Completed Portal Fragments: Leave ready-to-summon champions sitting in your portal inventory during the off-season. Claim them only after Champion Chase begins to secure points without spending shards.
- Combine Fusion Summons: Plan ready fusion components so that their final assembly occurs during active Champion Chase milestones.
- Use Mystery Shards selectively: If you fall slightly short of a milestone near the end of the event, farm campaign energy for mystery shards to close minor point gaps.
Knowing When to Stop and Secondary Requirements
Do not commit shards incrementally without calculating the entire event's cost. If your current shard supply cannot reach the final required fragment milestone, stop pulling and save your reserves. Retaining a safety buffer of 3 to 4 Sacred Shards ensures your account remains ready for upcoming fusion events.
In addition to shard management, ensure you have sufficient energy and silver stockpiles before starting. The overall Theimios fusion requires completing accompanying Dungeon Divers and Artifact Enhancement events, which rely heavily on active dungeon farming and gear upgrading.

I wish I had read this before upgrading the wrong thing.
This helped me understand strategy much better.
This saved me time in the early game.
Can you add more details about strategy in a future update?
