Skip the current 20x summoning event in RAID: Shadow Legends and hold your shards in inventory. While a 20x event highlights specific Champions, it does not increase your overall chance of pulling a Legendary or Epic unit. Save your resources for Guaranteed Champion events or precise pity counter pushes instead.
How 20x Multipliers Affect Odds
A 20x event does not give you a 20% chance to acquire a featured Champion. The event multiplier only applies to the specific Champion's drop weight after the game successfully rolls a Champion of that rarity.
- Base Drop Rates: The base chance to pull a Legendary Champion remains unchanged during a 20x event.
- Pool Weighting: The multiplier only increases the likelihood that a successful high-rarity pull matches the featured unit out of the total pool of non-boosted Champions.
- RNG Risk: Because the underlying drop rate does not increase, pulling without a massive shard stockpile leaves progression entirely to chance.
Where to Invest Your Shards Instead
To maximize long-term account growth, direct your shard spending toward events with reliable, fixed outcomes:
- Guaranteed Champion Events: These events award the featured Champion outright once you hit a strict shard-pull requirement. You know the exact cost before spending any resources.
- Strategic Pity Thresholds: Track your pulls toward the guaranteed pity threshold. Hold your final pulls near pity for top-tier Champions that solve immediate bottlenecks in Clan Boss, Hydra, or high-level Arena.
Decision Checklist Before Pulling
Ask these questions before spending shards on a 20x banner:
- Does the featured unit fundamentally upgrade your roster in critical modes like Clan Boss or Hydra?
- Do you have enough shards to reach a guaranteed reward milestone if an alternate event launches soon?
- Is your current pity counter far from a guaranteed high-rarity drop?
If you answer yes to these risks or no to the Champion's utility, keep your shards saved for predictable progression events.

Good guide for RAID: Shadow Legends players. The resources part was useful.
This guide answered the exact question I had.
Can you add more details about resources in a future update?
Nice guide. I am checking the other RAID: Shadow Legends articles next.
