Raid: Shadow Legends at a glance
Quick answer
Raid: Shadow Legends is a battle collection RPG in which the player assembles a group of characters, called Champions, and uses them in turn-based encounters across a campaign, dungeons and a clan boss fight. Everything stated on this page comes from the vendor's own published description; every detail the vendor does not state is marked as not stated rather than supplied from another source.
This entry is the one page in the library about a single named product, and it is written under a deliberate restriction. The only facts recorded here are those the vendor itself publishes in its description of the game. Where a reader would reasonably expect a figure — a download size, a system requirement, a drop rate, a price in Australian dollars — and the vendor does not state it, this page says so and stops there.
That restriction exists because this site is paid a commission on sign-ups through its link to this product, and the discipline that keeps such a page honest is refusing to fill gaps. The commercial arrangement is set out in full on the Affiliate Disclosure page.
What the vendor states
- Genre
- A battle collection RPG. The vendor places the game in that genre explicitly.
- Core activity
- In the vendor's words, assembling “an alliance of Champions” and leading them “through a brutal world”.
- Named content types
- Dungeons, described by the vendor as challenging; Clan Boss fights, described as terrifying; and a campaign. The vendor's description indicates further content beyond those named.
- Campaign
- Described by the vendor as sprawling and fully voiced, spanning 12 locations.
- Combat style
- The vendor describes tactical player-versus-environment gameplay “where every choice matters”.
- Vendor's own characterisation
- The vendor describes the game as “forming one of the most cohesive and enjoyable gaming experiences in the battle collection RPG genre”. That is the vendor's claim about its own product, reproduced as a quotation. This site does not adopt it, test it or rank the game against any other.
- Platform relevant to this site's link
- The link on this site is for desktop computers — Windows, macOS and Linux. That is a condition of the arrangement under which the link is published, not a statement about every platform on which the game exists.
What the vendor does not state
The following are the details readers of this library most often want, and in each case the vendor's description used as the source for this page is silent. They are listed rather than omitted so that the shape of what is missing is visible.

| Number of Champions, rarity tiers or factions | Not stated by the vendor |

| Languages, servers or regional availability | Not stated by the vendor |
Why the gaps are not filled
Figures of this kind circulate widely in guides, videos and community posts, and most of them were accurate on the day they were written. Drop rates are revised, prices differ by storefront and region, and system requirements change with each client release. Reproducing such a figure here would give it the appearance of a checked fact on a page that is paid for by the product it describes. The vendor's own current material and the relevant storefront listing are the correct sources, and they are one click away.
Reading the description against the category
The vendor's description maps onto the structure set out in Battle collection RPGs closely enough to be worth stating. An alliance of Champions is a roster. A campaign across 12 locations is the onboarding and resource track described there. Dungeons are the material track that gates upgrades. A clan boss fight is the cooperative encounter whose rewards depend on a group's combined result. A reader who has read that entry already knows the shape of what the vendor is describing, including the parts of the structure the description does not mention.
The description says nothing about how characters are acquired. In the category generally, acquisition is randomised, and the arithmetic of that is set out in Randomised rewards and summoning odds. Whether and how this title does so, at what rates and with what guarantees, is a matter for the vendor's own in-game information screens and published material, which is where a reader should check before spending.
Checks worth making before installing
- The Australian classification and its consumer advice lines, from the Classification Board's database. See Classification and age ratings.
- The publisher's privacy policy, read against the six questions in Data collection in games.
- The storefront listing for the price and the purchase types, in Australian dollars, at the moment of purchase — see In-game purchases and consumer rights.
- Whether the desktop route is a publisher-supplied client or an emulator, and what that implies — see Desktop play.
- Account binding and multi-factor authentication, before there is any progress worth losing — see Account security.
