Forces of darkness have had their evil hold on the world of Teleria since fantasy RPG RAID: Shadow Legends launched in 2019. All is not lost, however. Hope comes in the form of Champions, hundreds of ancient warriors – knights, magic wielders, mythical creatures and more – who can be recruited to fight the good fight, accompanying you on an epic quest to save the realm.

RAID: Shadow Legends is a game of turn-based combat. Under the guidance of the Arbiter (Teleria’s wise and powerful guardian), you must assemble the ultimate fighting unit to vanquish your foes and advance through the campaign, exploring various locations and stages as you progress.

It’s as much about finding balance as exercising pure power. You need to pick a team that will counteract your opponent’s strengths, while exploiting their weaknesses. Be sure to consider the affinities of your line-up, as the properties of Magic, Force, Void and Spirit have very different effects on one another – think Rock, Paper, Scissors, with lightning and destruction.

Nothing stands still in Teleria. Even the mightiest Champions can be works in progress, with regular upgrades helping to make them the best warriors they can be. Completing regular Quests and Challenges can contribute to building up your forces and resources.

It’s also worth keeping an eye out for special events (there are often special rewards on offer), while new heroes and villains are regularly brought into the fold. Sometimes you’ll even run into some guest stars in the game, with past crossovers including the Masters of the Universe and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

Saving the realm doesn’t have to be a solo pursuit. You can join Clans with other RAID: Shadow Legends players, teaming up to defeat formidable Clan Bosses or to protect your Clan Fortress in Siege Mode.

If you’re more of a lone wolf, you can compete against other players in time-limited tournaments, or take them on in the battlefield of the Arena. Just don’t expect any of your rivals to go easy!
