How to Reach Level 50 in RAID ASAP
If you’ve just started playing RAID: Shadow Legends and want to reach Level 50 quickly, you’re in the right place. This guide is designed to walk you through the fastest and most efficient path to hitting Level 50, whether you’re free-to-play or spending lightly. Let’s get started.
Understand the Goal: What Level 50 Really Means
Level 50 in RAID doesn’t just unlock bragging rights—it’s a major milestone:
- You unlock key challenges and missions
- You get access to better gear, rewards, and game modes
- You’ll be strong enough to start tackling endgame content
But leveling fast isn’t about grinding randomly—it’s about smart energy use, efficient farming, and team development.
Step 1: Pick the Right Starter Champion
When you start the game, you’ll choose between four champions. Your best bet for quick progression is:
Kael (Recommended)
- Strong AoE poison and magic damage
- Scales well into mid and late game
- Best campaign farmer out of the four
If you already picked someone else, don’t worry—you can still make it work, but Kael will give you the smoothest ride.
Step 2: Power Level Your Campaign Farmer
Your first major goal is to build a champion who can farm campaign stages solo, carrying food champs to level them up.
Focus on:
- Kael to 6-stars as your first Level 60
- Max his Masteries (get Scrolls via Minotaur’s Lab)
- Fully ascend and book his A1 and A2 skills
Equip him with Lifesteal gear from Campaign early, then farm better gear from Dungeons later.
Step 3: Blaze Through Campaign Mode
Start in Normal Campaign and complete all stages
Then move on to:
- Hard
- Brutal
Once you reach Brutal 12-3, this becomes your go-to for XP and silver farming. You’ll run it hundreds of times, so get comfortable.
Why Brutal 12-3?
- High XP rate
- Easy to clear with a good farmer
- Good silver drop from gear sells
Every time you run it, bring 3 low-level “food” champs to level up fast.
Step 4: Use Your Resources Efficiently
Your resources—Energy, Gems, Silver, and Shards—are precious.
Use Gems for:
- Masteries (400 gems for full Masteries > running Minotaur early)
- Energy refills for farming
- Don’t waste gems on shards early on
Energy:
- Never let your energy cap out!
- Use every bit to farm campaign or dungeons
- Collect energy from:
- Daily quests
- Weekly/monthly challenges
- Clan boss chests
- Events and login rewards
Silver:
- Save silver for gear upgrades
- Sell junk gear frequently (no need to keep bad 3-4★ items)
Step 5: Farm and Rank Up “Food” Champions
You’ll need a lot of 2★ and 3★ food champions to rank up your main team.
How to farm food fast:
- Run Brutal 12-3 repeatedly with your campaign farmer
- Use multi-battle or auto-clicker if available
- Always be upgrading someone
Use brews for 1★ and 2★ champions to save time, but don’t waste brews on high-rarity champs unless it’s part of a quest.
Step 6: Upgrade Your Main Team
While you’re leveling up Kael, start building a basic core team of 4-5 champions for:
- Clan Boss
- Arena
- Dungeons
Suggested early-game champions:
- Kael (farmer, damage dealer)
- Warmaiden (farm her in Campaign Stage 9—defense down debuff)
- Diabolist (Stage 12—speed booster)
- Apothecary or High Khatun (speed/support)
- Spirithost (Stage 4—attack up, debuff cleanse)
These are free or farmable and can carry you far.
Step 7: Join an Active Clan ASAP
Clans unlock Clan Boss rewards, a massive source of:
- Gems
- Shards
- Energy
- Books
Even if you’re not hitting hard yet, just participating gets you rewards. You’ll also learn from other players and possibly get help.
Step 8: Focus on Dungeons (Efficiently)
You don’t need to beat Stage 20 of every dungeon right away.
Start farming:
- Dragon: for general gear like Lifesteal, Speed, Accuracy
- Minotaur: for Mastery scrolls (once Kael is strong)
- Arcane Keep: for ascension potions
Don’t waste energy on:
- Potion Keeps every day—only when needed
- Spider’s Den early on—it’s hard and inefficient
Step 9: Use Arena to Level Your Great Hall
Even if you’re losing, you still get medals from Arena. Use them to boost your Great Hall—start with Accuracy, especially for Magic affinity.
Arena Tips:
- Refresh opponent list often
- Use speed + nuker comp (Spirithost + Kael works well)
- Climb to Silver for better rewards
Step 10: Maximize Missions, Challenges, and Quests
These offer:
- XP
- Gems
- Gear
- Energy
- Shards
Prioritize:
- Daily Quests (easy and consistent)
- Advanced Quests (unlocked at level 35)
- Missions (guide your progression path)
- Challenges (especially for gear sets and dungeon goals)
Step 11: Play Events Strategically
Some events are XP-heavy, like:
- Champion Training
- Dungeon Divers
- Artifact Enhancement
Focus your efforts when they line up with your goals. You’ll double-dip rewards while leveling.
Step 12: Use Boosters & Codes (if available)
- Promo codes (search online for working RAID codes)
- XP boosters (get them from login rewards or events)
- Play during 2x XP weekends when possible
Final Tips to Push to Level 50
- Multitask: Farm XP + food + silver at the same time
- Focus: Don’t spread your resources across too many champs
- Stay logged in: Idle XP and daily rewards add up
- Log in daily: Cumulative login rewards are excellent
By following this path, you can hit Level 50 within 7–14 days depending on how active you are and whether you’re spending.
