Raid: Shadow Legends

New Raid: Shadow Legends Youtube Channel

August 21, 2022August 21, 2022

As some of you may know, we have a Alternate Image Gaming youtube channel that covers a variety of games. We’ve tackled World of Warcraft, Elyon, Escape from Tarkov and more. Currently we’re running a series called “Tarkov Talks” which is a sort of podcast over an EFT backdrop covering a variety of mostly gaming topics. While we’d prefer to keep the channel covering a complete variety, the youtube algorithm gets rather grumpy with too much of that and the channel isn’t big enough yet to support it.

As such, for some new AI Gaming content, we’re creating a new channel to cover exclusively Raid: Shadow Legends. This channel already has a few dungeon guides posted and will end up with guides, tips, teams and more for most every aspect of the game. This dedicated channel is not only to bring focused content on one game, but also becomes a test to see if that format strikes better with the youtube community. If so, you could likely see more AI channels branch off, most notably a World of Warcraft one. After the break here you can find embedded a couple of AI Raid videos to sample.

Is It Pay to Win? Raid: Shadow Legends

Is it Pay to Win? Raid: Shadow Legends

November 15, 2021November 16, 2021

Welcome to ‘Is it Pay to Win’ – a column where we examine a game and decide if that game is has aspects of pay to win and to what extent. Check out Is it Pay to Win?: Defined to see how we break down the components of pay to win (p2w), such as pay for advantage, pay for convenience, and pay for cosmetics.

Raid: Shadow Legends describes itself as a “mythical RPG with hundreds of champions and 14 factions”. While it’s originally a mobile game, it is also available on PC. It features champion collection (with level and gearing of those champions), dungeon bosses, a campaign (with a story, sort of) clans, tournaments, events and more. It has a cash shop that allows you to buy most things you could acquire in game.

Scoring:

Pay for Power: 4/5
Pay for Advantage: 4/5
Pay for Convenience: 4/5
Pay for Cosmetics: 3/5
Pay to Win: 3.86

See below for a brief game play description and a detailed breakdown of how we come up with those scores.

Guide Mobile Raid: Shadow Legends

How to Complete Fusion Events

September 4, 2021August 17, 2022

Fusion events are functionally similar to the fragment events that we did a guide on before. Essentially, there is a specific legendary champion that can be summoned if you collect enough rewards from most all of the events and tournaments for a couple of weeks. Unlike the fragment events, fusion events have you collecting rare champions from the events instead of fragments.

In this guide, we’ll break down the differences between the two types, give you a path to guaranteed success in fusing your legendary champion, and show you how to see if you’re ready to attempt the resource intensive event. As with the previous guide, this is mostly for players who aren’t already experienced in completing these types of events or who just want a more efficient way of looking at them. Tl;dr at the very end.

August 31, 2021August 31, 2021

Check out August’s Featured Gamer Art, a monthly column of art that I’ve found found in the past few weeks. Art can include paintings, drawings, digital art, physical crafts, cosplay and more.

Woh, so there was an abundance of art around this month. I had several that I didn’t include just because it seems like only so many makes sense. This month’s Gamer Art features art and cosplay from Apex Legends, WoW, Nier, Cyberpunk 2077, League of Legends, Raid Shadow Legends, Zelda: Breath of the Wild, and a God of War/Mario crossover. Continue on for the art!

Plarium Responds to Clan Quest Debacle

August 6, 2021August 6, 2021

So… I’d like to think my post helped encourage this, but we know it was the Hell Hades-level Raid: Shadow Legends creators and the bulk reddit feedback that got this response. It is… however, interesting that they are actually responding. Less interesting is their tone. Their response, which came from the official discord, definitely has a tone implying the players just don’t understand their intentions from patch 4.50 and NOT that it was just implemented poorly… “Unfortunately, when it came to implementation, they didn’t quite enter the game and your perception exactly the way they were supposed to” they said. Our perception is the problem. Read further for their whole response and my thoughts on it.
