Raid Shadow Legends: Altar of Souls Event & Spider Boss Guide
TL;DR: This guide covers how to crush the Altar of Souls event, defeat the Doom Tower's Nether Spider, and highlights new champion builds for Thor and Lady Noel.
Get ready for a deep dive into Raid Shadow Legends, specifically how to maximize the Altar of Souls event (Winter's Path) and take down the Nether Spider in Doom Tower. We're breaking down champion picks, Soul Stone summons, and a winning strategy to beat the spider boss.
Altar of Souls Event: Winter's Path Tactics
The Winter's Path event rewards Altar of Souls engagement with valuable items and upgrades. This time, it’s all about Lady Noel and snagging her five-star Soul.
- Mortal Soul Stones: Your starting point. An Awakening boost ups the odds for Immortal Soul Stones.
- Wish List: Target champions needing better Souls. We focused on Bad-el-Kazar, Sill, and Fero for Legendaries; Tayrel, Geomancer, and Venomage for Epics.
- Duplicate Management: Keep the high-star dupes, sell low-tier rare souls for tokens.
Summoning Success: Key Soul Stone Pulls
The Altar of Souls can be generous if you know what you are doing, and this session delivered:
Key Summons:
- Early Mythical & Legendary: This session started with an early Mythical and Legendary pull.
- Arbiter Soul Stone: A crucial pull for completing the Arbiter missions.
- Eternal Soul Stone: A very rare drop that provided significant event progression.
These summons accelerated the progress through the Winter's Path event, scoring an Epic Skill Tome, and bringing us closer to that five-star Lady Noel Soul.
Nether Spider Boss: A Team Challenge
The Doom Tower Spider is a known roadblock. Here’s the rundown on how we eventually conquered this tricky boss with some team tweaks:
Initial Challenges:
- Failed Team Comp: The first team, consisting of Rathalos, WXell, Ursala, Geomancer, and Roshcard, failed to maintain consistent boss damage.
- Targeting Problems: The spiderlings were being targeted instead of the boss, causing reduced DPS.
- Key Weakness: The team was too focused on sustain, and needed more damage to win the battle.
The Winning Spider Team
After testing different champions, an unexpected squad came out on top:
Final Team:
- Geomancer (Lead): Provided HP for the whole team and applied key burn debuffs to the Spider.
- Thor: Chosen for high-value single target burst damage.
- Ninja: This champion was a solid secondary DPS for the spiderlings and the boss.
- Sill: Here to revive and provide support with healing capabilities.
This team relied on consistent damage and survivability, and took the Nether Spider down. Focus firing the Spider to ensure the burn applied correctly was key to the win.
Key Takeaways & Pro Tips
These key points are the biggest takeaways from the session:
- Optimize Events: Get the wishlist set and focus your summons toward it.
- Be Flexible: Experiment with teams until something works, even if it's off-meta.
- Target Wisely: Always understand boss mechanics, and target key units (Nether Spider’s main body).
- Commit to the Grind: Sometimes RNG wins the battle, and other times you just have to push through to improve.
