Is It Pay to Win? Raid: Shadow Legends

Is it Pay to Win? Raid: Shadow Legends

Raid: Shadow Legends Sacred Shard

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.

How to Complete Fusion Events

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.

Plarium Responds to Clan Quest Debacle

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.

How to Complete Fragment Summon Events

Last fragment event was the first one I really noticed existing. I went for it. I failed miserably. However, I learned from it. Well, mostly I learned that I had no idea how to successfully complete one of those events, so I started doing some research. From there, I made a plan. And from that implementing that plan through this even, I discovered my limitations. This isn’t a guide for a whale or a years-in-the-game veteran. This is a guide for how to do this the first time or maybe first couple of times with 100% success. I’ll break down what stages you need to farm, how much to save up and how to prepare. TL:DR at the bottom.

New Player Mastery Guide

So, I’ve been dabbling in Raid: Shadow Legends for a couple of months now. I’m free to play with the exception of a few dollars of google balance that was available to me because of the Google Rewards survey app. As a result, gems, energy, and silver are very limited. Early on, I made quite a few mistakes with how I chose to spend those resources. In this post, I’ll give a very simple overview of how to approach champion masteries. Should you use gems to unlock? Should you use energy on the minotaur boss? Read on to find out.
