Raid Shadow Legends: Esme Fusion Strategy + Arbiter Grind Update!
Introduction
Ready to power up your RAID: Shadow Legends roster and finally unlock Arbiter? We’ve got you covered. This guide breaks down important tournament milestones, champion training pointers, and efficient ways to use your shards. We’ll also touch on how to grab free Epic Champions if you’re new to the game. Let’s dig in.
Summoning Shards & Gaining Points
Shard pulls aren’t just about hoping for Legendary drops—they’re a clever way to rack up points in special events. For instance, using Ancient Shards during a timed event can get you fragments toward a Fusion champion like Esme. Even if you pull only Rares, they still help with creating food champions for training tournaments.
If you’re new and need a boost, grab two free Epic Champions: Rector Drath and Uugo. This extra firepower will kick-start your progression in the campaign and help you clear dungeons more easily.
Tournament & Event Progress
Tracking multiple events at once might sound tough, but stacking them is the trick. While working on a Fusion event, you can tackle champion training, gear upgrades, and dungeon challenges simultaneously for double or even triple gains.
Take the recent “Dancer’s Path” event, for example. Spending gems for energy and Shard pulls scored enough fragments to cover parts of Esme’s Fusion. This can free you from having to complete every single event—letting you skip one if resources run low.
Gearing Up & Spending Silver
Upgrading gear isn’t just for stronger stats—it’s another way to grab points in gear enhancement events. Rather than blindly boosting every item, sort your gear by potential (like speed substats) and focus on pieces that give the highest payoff.
If you’re sitting on a hefty amount of silver, burn through it to get valuable points, but stay strategic. Don’t max out items that missed important rolls. Sell low-value gear to recoup some silver for the next push.
Pushing Champion Training
Champion training tournaments can make or break a Fusion run. Brew usage is your friend: pouring single brews into many Rares or Epics quickly boosts your standings.
Also, aim to six-star a champion during training events to score big points. A well-timed rank up will help you climb tournament leaderboards, possibly snagging more fragments or extra prizes.
The Final Steps to Arbiter
For anyone eyeing Arbiter, progress through the mission chain can be slow because of the arena requirements and keep rotations. Plan your schedule around which keep is open and align your six-star upgrades with champion training or Fusion steps.
If you need a magic champion ascended to six stars, look for a contender you can actually use—like Ailis (if she fits your team) or any champion you want to take to endgame content. Completing these tasks while events are active turns an otherwise dull grind into a resource-friendly spree.
Keep an eye out for the missions that require hundreds of arena battles. Those can be the biggest time-sinks, so chip away daily. Soon enough, you’ll be staring at Arbiter’s final mission and securing that must-have support champion.
Conclusion
Securing Arbiter in RAID: Shadow Legends takes planning, but the payoff is huge. Whether you’re pushing champion training, upgrading gear, or pulling shards, tie each step into your Fusion or event plan. This approach ensures you’re never burning resources without a good reason.
Grab your free Epics if you’re new, keep an eye on tournament standings, and make the most of your silver. In the end, you’ll be one step closer to that powerful Arbiter you’ve been eyeing.
