What RAID is
RAID: Shadow Legends is a free-to-play turn-based collection RPG set in Teleria. Players recruit Champions, assemble teams, equip gear, and progress through campaign, dungeon, Arena, Faction Wars, and Clan activities.
This article is an editorial overview based on official documentation. It does not promise starter rewards, promo codes, or specific performance results.
Playing on PC or Mac
Plarium supports RAID on PC and Mac through Plarium Play. A Plarium ID can synchronize general progress, purchases, and account settings across desktop and mobile devices. The desktop version includes configurable graphics, windowed mode, keyboard-and-mouse controls, and hotkeys.
Building an early team
Avoid choosing Champions only by rarity. An effective early team normally needs complementary roles:
- a dependable damage dealer;
- decrease-defense or other useful debuffs;
- healing, shielding, or revival;
- speed or turn-meter support.
Gear quality, correct main stats, skill upgrades, and speed tuning can matter as much as collecting more Champions. Official support documentation should be checked because Champion balance and game modes change over time.
Progression and monetization
RAID contains in-app purchases, randomized Champion acquisition, limited-time events, and long-term upgrade systems. It can be played for free, but players should expect resource limits and repeated farming. Set a spending budget before buying packs and do not treat temporary promotional rewards as guaranteed unless they appear in the live client or an official current announcement.
Installation checklist
- Open the current partner page and verify the game and platform.
- Install Plarium Play from the publisher-provided download.
- Create or sign in with a Plarium ID if you want cross-platform progress.
