Hero’s Path Event – The Tin Woodman and Theimios Souls!

A new Hero’s Path Event is coming to RAID: Shadow Legends on Friday, October 9th. Two powerful Legendary Champions are at the centre of the rewards.

Players can earn 5-Star Perfect Souls for The Tin Woodman and Theimios the Everdrinker.

The event runs for 96 hours, giving players four days to work through the Hero’s Path.

There are two ways to earn points during this Hero’s Path:

• Getting Artifacts and Accessories
• Summoning Champions from Shards

Summoning is likely to provide the bulk of the available points. Artifact and Accessory acquisition gives players another source of progress throughout the four-day event.

The exact summoning events running alongside Hero’s Path have not yet been announced. That makes it worth checking the summon schedule before committing large numbers of Shards.

The headline rewards are:

• Theimios the Everdrinker 5-Star Perfect Soul
• The Tin Woodman 5-Star Perfect Soul
• The Tin Woodman Avatar
• Thematic Avatar Frame

The event is also tied to the ongoing Ingenious Titan Event. The Hero’s Path contains 400 Citadel Points towards that event. Players chasing The Scarecrow will need to account for these points when planning which Titan activities to complete.

The Ingenious Titan Event offers 1,750 Citadel Points in total, with 1,500 needed to claim every milestone reward. This means players can skip 250 points across the full event. Hero’s Path contains more points than that allowance, so Scarecrow hunters cannot skip the entire Hero’s Path. They need at least 150 Citadel Points from it.

Theimios the Everdrinker gains several useful stats from reaching a 5-Star Awakening. The extra Resistance and Accuracy fit his kit particularly well.

For PvE solo builds, Theimios can work with a much lower Awakening level. His self Increase ACC, Accuracy Aura, and base stats give him plenty of room when building his gear. A 5-Star Soul gives more freedom to invest in Resistance and other survival stats.

The 5-Star Soul has greater value for PvP builds. Higher Awakening opens stronger Blessing options and gives Theimios more stats for demanding Arena builds. Poison-focused builds can gain far more from higher Awakening than standard dungeon solo builds.

Players who mainly use Theimios to solo PvE content do not need a 5-Star Soul to make him work. The event Soul is more valuable for players pushing specialised builds or using him in PvP.

The Tin Woodman gains strong offensive stats from Awakening.

He does not need Accuracy, and Resistance has limited value for most builds. The earlier Awakening bonuses are much more attractive. Extra HP helps compensate for the damage he takes through his own Passive. DEF directly increases his damage, and Critical Damage gives his attacks another boost.

Blessing selection is less straightforward for PvE. Nature’s Wrath does not suit The Tin Woodman since his kit does not place debuffs. Crushing Rend also loses some value since he already brings large amounts of Ignore DEF through his kit.

Heavencast presents a stronger PvE option. It increases damage based on the number of buffs active on The Tin Woodman. Five active buffs provide a 7.5% damage increase, with the bonus reaching 15% at ten buffs.

Add the DEF and Critical Damage gained through Awakening, and the 5-Star Soul can provide a sizeable personal damage increase. This has extra value for accounts using The Tin Woodman across several boss teams.

Both Souls have strong uses, but they serve different builds.

The Tin Woodman gets immediate value from several Awakening stats. His HP, DEF, and Critical Damage gains all fit his main PvE role. Players using him across several bosses can gain value from the Soul every time they bring him into battle.

Theimios the Everdrinker gets more specialised benefits. His 5-Star Soul has high value for PvP and advanced Poison builds. Standard PvE solo builds can perform well at lower Awakening levels.

For players who own both Champions, The Tin Woodman Soul has broader use across PvE content. Theimios becomes the stronger target for accounts built around his PvP or Poison damage setups.
