What’s Next in RAID: Exciting Updates & New Features!

The RAID: Shadow Legends team has unveiled a series of exciting updates that are set to shake up the game in major ways. From the introduction of Faction Wars Hard Mode to the expansion of Siege Battles, new Leaderboards, and the return of Community Weeks, there’s a lot for players to look forward to.

Let’s dive into what’s coming next in RAID and how these changes will impact your gameplay.

Faction Wars has been a staple in RAID for years, and now it’s getting a serious upgrade with Hard Mode. This new difficulty setting will push players to their limits, offering:

• Increased Difficulty – Hard Mode will feature significantly tougher battles.
• Better Rewards – Expect Artifact Crafting Materials, Rank 6 Glyphs (Rare, Epic, and Legendary), and new Relic Crafting Materials exclusive to this mode.
• Unique Stage Challenges – Unlike Normal Mode, earning three stars in Hard Mode requires completing specific objectives (e.g., defeating enemies under 10 debuffs or landing finishing blows while under Perfect Veil).

The Tainted Crypt Keepers (new Faction War bosses) are also getting a serious revamp. Each one will specialize in a different combat style, such as damage over time effects or single-target nukes, forcing players to adapt their strategies. To help with this, in-game Boss Guides will provide valuable insights.

As if that wasn’t enough, clearing all Hard Mode stages will unlock a brand-new Mythical Champion, exclusive to this challenge. If you haven’t completed Faction Wars yet, now’s the time to get started!

Siege Battles are getting a major overhaul, making them more competitive and rewarding:

• Max Level Increase for Clan Fortress Buildings – All buildings can now be upgraded from Level 3 to Level 6. This adds 90 extra Defense Team slots, creating even more battles and opportunities for rewards.
• New Siege Mechanics – Magic Towers and Defense Towers will now introduce traps that can conceal garrisoned Champions or apply debuffs to attackers, adding another layer of strategy.
• Siege Tiers Expanded to 8 – With the introduction of Tiers 7 and 8, stronger clans will face tougher opponents, but better rewards await those who succeed.
• Tier Progression System – Advancing through the highest Siege Tiers requires winning battles, but losing fights will drop you to a lower Tier.
• Victory Condition Adjustments – Some mechanics, including Siege draws and Clan Management tools, are being refined to improve the overall experience.

RAID is introducing a Leaderboard system to track the top performers across various game modes, adding an extra competitive edge. Here’s how it works:

• Leaderboards for All Arena Modes & Six Dungeons – Players will be able to see the top competitors in each mode.
• Regional & Global Rankings – Track the top 100 players in each category on a weekly (Arena) or biweekly (Dungeons) basis.
• Exclusive Rewards – Players who place high on the Leaderboards will earn Avatar Frames and unique Badges to showcase on their profiles.

If you’ve been dominating in the Arena or clearing Dungeons at lightning speed, now’s your chance to earn recognition!

The popular Community Weeks event is returning with a 25-day login program, packed with exclusive rewards. Here’s what’s in store:

• Daily Login Rewards – Players must log in each day to claim their rewards, which include resources, materials, and Fragments for a new Legendary Champion.
• New Legendary Champion: Iudex Artor – This Champion is exclusive to Community Weeks and can be unlocked by collecting enough Fragments during the event.
• Legendary Relic Selection – Players will vote on one of four Legendary Relics to determine the final reward at the end of the event.

Missed a day? No worries! You can still claim missed Fragments before the event ends, ensuring everyone has a fair chance at obtaining Iudex Artor.

RAID isn’t slowing down on Champion releases! The developers have teased a new wave of Champions arriving in the next few months, each bringing unique skills and abilities to the game. Keep an eye out for future announcements to see how these new warriors will fit into the evolving meta.

These updates promise to bring fresh challenges, more strategic depth, and better rewards for RAID players. Whether you’re excited about the brutal difficulty of Faction Wars Hard Mode, the expansion of Siege Battles, the new Leaderboards, or the return of Community Weeks, there’s something for everyone.
