Crucial Decisions in Raid Shadow Legends: Summons or Fusion?
Facing a Big Decision
Raid Shadow Legends often makes us pick between two big objectives at once, and it’s a tough call. This time, we’re juggling the Titan Tea Party event and the upcoming fusion. Whether you’re aiming for that precious 5-Star Perfect Soul or hoping for a shiny new Legendary champion, there’s a lot riding on every shard pull and energy refill.
The Titan Tea Party Crunch
The Titan Tea Party event is in its final stretch, and many players want that 5-Star Perfect Soul for the Hatter. At first, it seemed like a straightforward path—complete various tournaments, gather the required points, and snag your reward. But the new Champion Chase Tournament threw a curveball by demanding 3,000 points for your last cup of tea.
Champion Chase points usually come from summoning champions, earning new legendaries, or pulling epics. Without a well-timed double-chance event for your Ancient or Sacred Shards, earning 3,000 points fast can feel like an uphill climb.
Pulling Voids for a Quick Boost
- Void Shards: A two-times event for Voids is tempting. Landing a Legendary yields 600 points, while each Epic gives 350. Sometimes rolling the dice is the quickest shortcut.
- Free Champion Points: Check if you have any unclaimed fragment champions in your portal. Summoning those can add easy points toward 3,000.
Keeping an Eye on the Fusion
A fresh fusion is right around the corner, and rumor has it Esme the Dancer might be worth your Sacred Shards. If you blow all your best shards on the Titan Tea Party, you might face an empty stash when the new Legendary arrives.
Look at your shard count, leftover resources, and how badly you want the 5-Star Soul. Sometimes a new top-tier champion can have a bigger impact on your account than a Perfect Soul for a champion you rarely use. Consider your progress, clan boss teams, and overall champion roster before deciding.
Mystery Shards: The “Free” Method
If you’re running low on higher-tier shards, Mystery Shards can still get you there—albeit slowly. While their point yield is low, you can offset this grind with the Instant Upgrade feature, leveling up fodder champions quickly. It’s time-intensive, but it can save your rare shards for the fusion. If you have enough patience and a healthy gem stash for energy refills, spam-farming Mystery Shards is a cost-free way to push your Champion Chase score higher.
Double-Dipping with Dungeon Events
Whenever a Dungeon Divers or a specific dungeon tournament aligns with your goals, jump at the chance to earn points from two fronts. For example, if you’re already farming Ice Golem or Dragon to complete Dungeon Divers, every run might also net you valuable tournament points. This approach conserves resources and sets you up to grab those finishing rewards for the Titan Tea Party before time runs out.
Key Tips for Efficient Farming
- Choose Your Dungeon Wisely: Target the one that overlaps with an active event for maximum point gain.
- Manage Your Energy: Use gems strategically. Don’t blow them all at once if you might need them for the fusion.
- Check Clan Boss Loot: Clan Boss chests can drop extra shards. Do all difficulty tiers you can handle to boost your pull potential.
Final Thoughts
The choice between finishing the Titan Tea Party event or saving for the new fusion is a classic Raid conundrum: immediate reward versus a possible game-changer in the future. If you decide you must have that 5-Star Soul, be ready to invest your Mystery Shards and possibly a few valuable Sacred or Void Shards along the way. If a new Legendary champion or your next big fusion is more appealing, it might be worth skipping the event’s final prizes.
Whatever you decide, keep your goals in sight and weigh the opportunity cost of each shard you spend. Good luck out there, and may your pulls yield the champions you’ve been waiting for!
