How to Get all the Live Arena Season Rewards

Live Arena Seasons have finally arrived in Raid: Shadow Legends, bringing a suite of juicy Milestone rewards with them, inlcuding: unique Relic crafting materials; two new exclusive gear sets; and much more!

In this Live Arena Seasons Guide we break down how many battles you will need to do each day (and with what winrate) to get all of the Milestone rewards,how to plan your climb every season, and how Season Repeatable Chests work.

You will automatically unlock Live Arena Seasons once you reach Gold Tier in Live Arena. Once you reach Gold, you cannot demote out of it, and you cannot opt out of Seasons. (This is good, since each Season is effectively a bunch of extra rewards!)

Each Season has an exclusive set of Milestone and Leaderboard rewards which will fully reset (including all of your Seasonal points and progress) when the Season ends.

Each Season will last for 4 weeks, with a 2 week off-season period between them.

Milestone Rewards

With the top Milestone reward (100 Mythical relic fragments) set at 1,320 Season points, the question is: how many fights do you need to win (and do per day) to get them?

These points are fully reset each season, and you can only earn them by winning Live Arena battles during each season:

• You earn 9 points for a win.
• You lose 3 points for a loss.

Seasonal Chests

Once you have earned 1320 seasonal points and have claimed all the Milestone rewards for the Season, you will earn Seasonal chests (containing the Stonecleaver and Rebirth gear sets) for every 175 points you earn.

Note: it is currently very challenging to reach 1320 points in a season, so do not expect to earn many Seasonal Chests unless you are a big spender!

How Many Wins Do You Need?

As you can see from the table above, the amount of wins you need will depend on your overall winrate.

Winrates below 25% will make it effectively impossible to complete the Milestones,though given the existance of bots, it is basically impossible to win that little in the first place. It is equally unlikely that you will get a very high winrate (70-100%), so you should plan around somewhere in the 40-60% range.

A 50% winrate is very doable for many players, and as you can see this will require you to complete an average of 15 battles per day. This is a big time investment, since you only get a maximum of 10 free battles per day. Your first daily refill costs only 10 gems, making it a strong investment here, though further refills will cost you a steadily increasing amount.

A 60% winrate is difficult to achieve, but is very valuable; here you will only need your 10 daily battles plus an extra few later in the season from your Cursed City refills to reach the final Milestone. It won’t save you many gems, but it will save you a lot of stress.

Bots Stop you Losing Points

One very important note here is that there are now bots in Gold Tier of Live Arena. These are AI controlled copies of random players accounts. While they will have champions similar in power to others at your level, you should be able to beat them easily because they are AI:

1. They will usually draft weaker teams than a real player would.
2. They will always ban the first champion you draft.
3. They won’t be as good at fighting as a real player can be.

You will be given a bot to fight if you lose 3 fights in a row. Since you gain 9 points per win and lose 3 per loss, this means that it is very hard to lose any significant points in LA anymore, since you will quickly be given a bot to boost your points back up.

How Matchmaking Works

1. Your first 10 fights for the Season will be based off your non-seasonal ranking.
2. After your first 10 fights, your Seasonal points are the most important thing for matchmaking.

This means that matchmaking at the start of a Season is chaotic, since all players will be clumped together with low seasonal points! As the season goes on and powerful players push ahead, lower ranked players will have more reasonable fights more often.

• Due to the start of season chaos, it is better to use extra refills in the second half of the season.
• Fights will get harder as you climb points, but easier as the season goes on and players keep climbing higher.
