Raid: Champion Chase - Shard Pulling Strategy

Champion Chase Event Deep Dive

The Champion Chase Tournament in Raid: Shadow Legends is a recurring event where players earn points by summoning champions. The higher the champion's rarity, the more points they’re worth. This event typically runs alongside other events and rewards, making it a good opportunity to get resources for other aspects of the game. Understanding the point values is key to forming your strategy.

• Mythical Champions: 1000 points each
• Legendary Champions: 500 points each
• Epic Champions: 250 points each
• Rare Void Champions: 50 points each

Strategic Shard Pulling

A player looking to gain the most points during the Champion Chase event must plan. One great strategy is to save champions for fusion and pull them during the event for points. ECHO began with 1,250 points already banked by having two legendary and one epic champions ready for fusion. This is a great example of pre-event preparation.

The strategy involves more than just pulling any shard you get. Void shards are very useful because their rare champions also grant points for the event, so those were prioritized. ECHO hoped to pull a specific champion, Vanguard, to activate several champion fusions and add a huge amount of points to their tournament score. While ECHO did not end up pulling that champion, this shows how one champion can have a huge impact during the Champion Chase. The risk and reward of these pulls are high - a legendary pull would've been a big win, but a lot of pulls yielded food champions that were of less value, except that they gave some points.

Key Takeaway: Before pulling any shards, check the Champion Chase points and potential fusion options.

New Champion Analysis

In the midst of all the shard pulling, ECHO managed to get two key champions. First was Fellhound, which may be one of the best rare champions for farming in the campaign mode. In the end it was a new legendary champion called Roxam who really caught ECHO's eye. Roxam has an intriguing kit, focusing on a "veil" buff. Here's a summary of Roxam's abilities:

• Passive: Fills the champion's turn meter, and 50% chance to place a perfect veil buff.
• Attack 1: 75% chance to place a stun debuff when under a veil buff or a sleep debuff if not. Fills the champion's turn meter by 40% and places a perfect veil for two turns.
• Attack 2: Attacks all enemies while under a veil and places a decrease defense and weaken debuff. If not under veil, it is a single target attack with the same debuffs for two turns before placing perfect veil for two turns.
• Ascension bonus: Places block debuffs and a strengthen buff on the champion when they get a veil or perfect veil.
• Aura Increases crit rate in Doom Tower by 23%.

Key Takeaway: Even a bad pull can sometimes bring a great champion. Always be on the look out for any that you might be able to use, as well as those that will get you points.

Event Integration and Resource Use

ECHO was active in a lot of different areas. The Champion Chase event overlapped with other events, such as Dungeon Divers and Deck of Fate, as well as multiple daily tasks. This overlap creates a great chance to maximize rewards. A key strategy for players is to be efficient with their resources. For instance, ECHO considered purchasing more ancient shards with gems to potentially gain more points. This highlights the need to evaluate every avenue for gaining resources.

Key Takeaway: Always look for ways that events overlap, and look at all resources available to you to maximize gains.

Results and Takeaways

In the end, ECHO managed to get into first place in the tournament with 10,018 points, and also unlocked all of the points-based rewards on the side of the screen. This was done by pulling shards, fusing champions, and a little bit of luck, and shows that good strategy and planning can pay off. ECHO is nervous about the next day when other players might also pull champions, and has decided to wait to claim the rewards.

Key Takeaway: Planning, resource management and a little luck are all you need to win, but planning is the most important thing.

The Raid: Shadow Legends Champion Chase event requires a mix of strategy, resourcefulness, and a little bit of luck. By planning fusions, prioritizing void shards, and analyzing new champion abilities, players can effectively participate in these events and claim valuable rewards. Hopefully, ECHO will be able to hold onto the top spot for a while to come. For more insights into Raid: Shadow Legends and other gaming strategies, keep exploring.
