RAID: Shadow Legends is one of the biggest turn-based RPGs in the mobile market, garnering over 100 million downloads in the short 6 year span it has been live. The game boasts engaging combat mechanics, consistent events, and over 600+ champions to summon and collect. While you can get every resource in the game, the process can be quite time taking and slow. This guide will help you get access to the important resources in the most consistent and efficient manner. Let’s begin!    

The Major Resources in RAID: Shadow Legends

Each and every live-service game, including RAID: Shadow Legends, offers different types of resources for players to collect and reap benefits. Many of these resources are acquired from different avenues in the game, and can be quite confusing for players, especially those starting their journey. Let’s firstly take a quick look at some of the major resources in the game:

• Player XP

• Champion XP

• Gems

• Silver

• Energy

• Brews

• Tomes

• Shards

This guide entails all the different ways players can get each of these resources fast just by playing the game. Check out the further sections for each type of resource.

Player XP

Player experience or XP in short is different from champion experience. It allows you to level up your account in the game, enabling faster access to all content and game modes. Traditionally, the game has been quite rough with the levelling system, giving players experience equal to the energy they consume. Other options of getting more XP for your account include completing daily quests, weekly quests, monthly quests, advanced quests, and more. Alternatively, you can also get XP for your account by completing the new player challenges as well as Arbiter missions. 

As a new player, your goal should be to simply login every day and maximize your energy consumption. Of course, fulfilling quests is also mandatory as it allows you to cycle through levels pretty fast.

Champion XP

Champion experience is pretty easy to get compared to the other currencies in RAID: Shadow Legends. The best part about acquiring it is that it’s completely farmable. This means players can traverse through the campaign mode to get more experience for their champions. Keep in mind, the higher the difficulty of the stage and chapter in the campaign mode, the higher exp your champions will get. Only the champions you take in battles will be eligible to get experience. Another great way to get fast experience into your champions is by using the different elemental brews. 

Simply go to your Tavern and click on any champion you want to level up. On the left-hand side, you will see all the different elemental brews in your inventory that can be used to provide EXP to your champions. The higher the star rating and level, the more brews you will require to level up champions. It’s always recommended to match the affinity of your brews with the affinity of the champion you’re trying to level up, as it provides 1.5x more EXP. 

Gems

Gems are the premium currency in RAID: Shadow Legends. They are often hard to acquire in abundance as a new player, simply due to the limitations imposed on the amount of game modes available at the start. Perhaps the most consistent way of getting Gems is via the daily quests, weekly quests, and monthly quests. Your achievements and challenges can also provide a healthy number of Gems on a regular basis. The Gem Mine is a permanent building that costs 500 Gems to purchase but can be upgraded to provide Gems for the rest of the time on your account at the rate of 1 Gem per hour and 36 minutes. 

This investment is amazing and can outmatch your investment in a short period of time if you’re planning to play the game on a regular basis. You can also get a ton of Gems by participating in the different running events and tournaments. Some other ways to get Gems on a regular basis is by defeating the Demon Clan Boss daily, Arena tier rewards every week, redeem codes, and more. 

Silver

Silver is the main freemium currency that is abundantly used to upgrade heroes, promote heroes, awaken heroes, upgrade gear, and much more. You will constantly be using a ton of Silver to do all of the mentioned tasks on a daily basis. Silver is obtained primarily via daily quests, weekly quests, monthly quests, achievements, Arbiter missions, events, tournaments, arena chests, redeem codes, campaign mode, and dungeons. You can also get Silver from the daily clan boss chests, and the amount depends on how high your score was. 

Another significant way to get more Silver in the game is by simply farming the different dungeons in the game and acquiring high ranking gear. Most of the time, not all the pieces of gear you obtain are going to be usable. It’s always better to sell them off and gain tremendous amounts of Silver or else you will end up clogging your inventory.

Energy

Energy is the main resource that allows you to play the game. It recharges over time at a slow pace of 1 energy per 3 minutes. You will get tons of energy and energy refills as you progress through the game. Each time you level up your account, your energy automatically restores to full and the energy cap also increases. Additionally, players can purchase energy via their saved Gems at the rate of 40 Gems for a full energy refill. 

You can also get tons of energy by participating in the different events and tournaments running all the time. The daily quests, weekly quests, monthly quests, advanced quests, arbiter missions, and new player challenges are also an amazing way to get more Energy consistently. 

Brews

Like we mentioned before, brews come in different elemental types. There’s no specific way of getting brews outside of farming the different elemental Keeps. For example, the Spirit Keep has a small chance of dropping spirit affinity brews. You can also get brews from events and tournaments at multiple milestones. Redeem codes often contain brews for players. Even farming the regular gear dungeons have a chance of dropping some brews. 

Tomes

Tomes come in different types – Rare, Epic, Legendary, and Mythic. The higher the rarity of the Tome, the more difficult it is to obtain them. Tomes are used in abundance to enhance the skills of your collected champions in the Tavern. By far, the Rare tomes are the easiest to acquire and you can get them from redeem codes, events, tournaments, tag team arena shop, arena weekly chest, clan boss. 

Epic and Legendary tomes mainly drop in the Demon Clan Boss chests at the brutal, nightmare, and ultra-nightmare difficulty. The chance to get them is quite miniscule. Of course, the guaranteed way to get them is via the milestones in events/tournaments. 

Shards

Shards are the resource you will need to summon new champions in the game. They also come in different types:

• Mystery – Used to summon spirit/force/magic affinity uncommon – rare grade champions
• Ancient – Used to summon spirit/force/magic affinity rare-legendary grade champions
• Void – Used to summon void affinity rare-legendary grade champions
• Sacred – Used to summon spirit/force/magic affinity epic-legendary grade champions
• Primal – Used to summon spirit/force/magic affinity rare-mythical grade champions

Players can get tons of shards by participating in events and tournaments. A free mystery shard is given every day and a free ancient shard is given every week in the shop. You can also use Gems to purchase Ancient shards in packs of 3 and 11 at 275 Gems and 900 Gems, respectively. Void shards can be gotten from the tag team arena shop in Gold tier, clan boss rewards, and the Doom Tower.

Ancient shards can also be obtained from the tag team arena shop in bronze tier, clan boss rewards, and the Doom Tower. You can get Sacred shards only from the monthly quest, Doom Tower, and Clan Boss rewards (brutal, nightmare, and ultra-nightmare difficulty).
