2x Primal Shard FAIL! Pulling Primal Shards in Raid Shadow Legends

Introduction

Raid Shadow Legends is known for its captivating champion pulls and nail-biting shard openings. With fresh 2× odds on Primal Shards, it seemed like the perfect moment to roll the dice and chase that elusive Mythical hero. After saving 16 of these precious shards for ages, the hope was to snag an extraordinary addition to the roster—or at least land a Legendary for a much-needed boost.

Understanding the Odds

Even during a 2× promotion, the drop chances are still harsh: a 2% shot at a Legendary, 1% at a Mythical, 32% for an Epic, and 65% for a Rare. Twice as good as normal, sure, but still tough. When you see others running entire squads of Mythicals, it’s hard not to feel a bit envious—and that definitely ups the excitement when you finally tap “Open.”

The Big Pull: 16 Primal Shards

We went one by one, keeping our fingers crossed for a legendary spark. Rare after rare popped out, leaving hearts sinking a little lower each time. Out of the whole batch, we scored a couple of Epics (Sakara and Rock Breaker) but no Legendary and no Mythical. That means 16 shots went straight back into the Champion Vault as food for future upgrades.

Disappointment is normal, but it’s not the end. Many veterans track their pity timers to plan the best time to pull shards, though that’s a matter of preference. Sometimes you get lucky early; other times, the system makes you wait.

Arena Battles & Live Arena Woes

To break up the frustration, we jumped into some quick Arena matches, snagging easier victories against lower-tier teams. Mixing in Live Arena was less of a success, especially when facing opponents with Mythical champions that could wipe the floor with us. No Mythicals on our side meant the ban phase was basically a lost cause. Still, it’s all part of the learning process.

Next Steps: Fusion and Future Pulls

Despite rough luck, there’s always something to do in Raid Shadow Legends. Upcoming fusion events remain a strong alternative for gathering high-level champions without relying on random pulls. There’s also the promise of 2× chances on other shard types—especially Void Shards—where that last champion needed for a fusion might appear.

In the meantime, those leftover Epics help progress various team builds, and adding fragments from Clan Shop or Hydra rewards provides another route toward powering up your roster. Whether waiting on a more favorable event or aiming for that one specific champion, a measured plan often leads to wins in the long run.

Final Thoughts

Sometimes, our biggest moments in Raid Shadow Legends come down to chance. This time, 16 Primal Shards didn’t pay off with the dream champion, but every pull inches us closer to the next spotlight moment. Whether you’re a fan of champion fusions, planning a big shard summoning, or just looking for daily progress, the cycle of hope and heartbreak keeps the game entertaining.

If you’re pulling your own shards, good luck. May your 2× event treat you better than ours did!
