Raid Shadow Legends: Mystery Shard & Fusion Strategy
Getting the Most Out of Mystery Shards
Don’t dismiss those lowly Mystery Shards. They might seem unimportant, but when you need quick champion points for events, they can be your secret weapon. Recent tournaments—especially Champion Chase—reward you with crucial items just for summoning even the smallest of champions. Here’s the trick: pull a bunch of Mystery Shards, rank up the commons to rares, and rack up the points. It’s a surprisingly easy way to reach thresholds without burning through premium shards.
Why Focus on These Shards?
- Easy Points: Mystery Shards can be summoned in bulk to hit Champion Chase targets.
- Resource Friendly: They free up your high-value Ancient and Sacred Shards for more demanding events.
- Food for Upgrades: Transform all those basic champions into fodder for your next rank-ups.
Chasing the Mad Hatter Soul
The 5-Star Mad Hatter Soul has been turning heads. If you’re close to finishing its path, keep pushing. Achieving it typically involves stacking up tournament points, finishing daily tasks, and completing gear events. Pulling thousands of Mystery Shards can feel tedious, but it’s often the simplest way to secure the last few hundred points you need for top-tier milestones.
Key Steps to Finish the Soul
- Track Event Timers: Don’t waste resources too soon; time your Shard pulls for tournaments.
- Grind Dungeon Divers: Run easy-yet-rewarding stages like Ice Golem 20 to accumulate gear points.
- Double Dip: Align your dungeon runs with champion training to double up on event rewards.
Preparing for the Upcoming Fusion
A big question is whether to spend resources on the Mad Hatter Soul or save for the next fusion champion. The right call often depends on your roster needs and how many shards you can spare. If you see major value in the new legendary (or epic) from the upcoming fusion, hold onto your precious Sacred and Ancient Shards. On the other hand, if you’re close to finishing the Soul and it boosts a champion you use frequently, it’s worth sealing the deal now.
Making the Choice
- Evaluate Your Roster: Do you have a champion that will thrive with the Soul bonus?
- Account for Available Shards: If you still have plenty saved, you might do both the fusion and the Soul.
- Watch for Personal Rewards CVC: These clan events can multiply your returns if you coordinate your shard pulls properly.
Dungeon Divers & Ice Golem Tips
Ice Golem is the go-to dungeon if you need to farm points quickly for Dungeon Divers. A reliable burn champion like Ninja helps chip away at the Golem’s big health pool. Pair him with a reviver (Scyl works nicely) to keep your group from wiping. If you’re confident, sneak in a champion you want to level for free XP. Just make sure your main squad can carry the extra passenger without losing efficiency.
Recommended Team Setup
A typical Ice Golem 20 farming team might include:
- Ninja: For the consistent HP burn.
- Rathalos: Combos well with burns for massive damage.
- Scyl: Reviver who keeps your team upright when things get messy.
- He-Man/Thor Alternatives: Damage dealers who can handle waves and focus the boss.
- Bonus Slot: Level up a champion you’re trying to rank if you trust your main four to seal the win.
Final Thoughts
Balancing shard usage between short-term gains (like scoring the 5-Star Mad Hatter Soul) and long-term plans (the new fusion) can be tricky. By combining Mystery Shard pulls for tournaments, farming events like Dungeon Divers, and being mindful of your champion roster, you’ll manage to snag valuable loot without wrecking your resources. It’s all about planning ahead and targeting easy-to-complete events when they overlap.
If you’re unsure about which path to take, keep an eye on future champion reveals. But if you’re already halfway to claiming that Mad Hatter Soul, finishing it off might give you a quicker boost in your daily activities. Either way, have fun cracking open those Mystery Shards, and best of luck in your next fusion chase!
