RAID: Shadow Legends has earned a reputation for its RNG-based (random number generator) system, particularly when it comes to summoning champions. The excitement of pulling shards can quickly turn into frustration, especially when you're stuck without a coveted Legendary after numerous attempts. To mitigate this, Plarium introduced the "Pity System." But how does it function, is it effective, and does it truly benefit free-to-play (F2P) and low-spender players? Let's delve into the details.
The Pity System is an underlying mechanism designed to boost your chances of summoning higher rarity champions — Epics and Legendaries — the longer your streak of bad luck continues. Essentially, the more you pull without landing a high-rarity champion, the higher your odds become until you finally get that coveted pull. This system aims to curb the frustration of long "dry streaks," where players might go through dozens or even hundreds of shards without a decent champion. While Plarium doesn't openly advertise this feature in-game, its existence has been verified by dataminers, developers, and numerous player experiences.
For Sacred Shards, the base chance of pulling a Legendary champion is 6% per pull. The Pity System kicks in after 12 pulls without a Legendary, increasing your odds by 2% with each subsequent pull:
The effectiveness of the Pity System isn't straightforward. While it's designed to help, many players have noted that the system often activates too late, as they might have already pulled a Legendary before reaching the pity threshold. This raises the question of how it could be improved. The presence of a pity system is undeniably beneficial, especially in a gacha game like RAID: Shadow Legends.
For F2P players, the constant struggle to obtain Legendary champions after extensive grinding and farming can be disheartening. Thus, the Pity System is essential. However, enhancements could make it more impactful. For instance, reducing the pity threshold from 200 to 150 or 170 pulls would allow players to save more shards and feel the system's benefits more tangibly.
To enhance your RAID: Shadow Legends experience, consider playing on a larger screen with a PC or laptop using BlueStacks. This setup offers smoother gameplay and the precision of a keyboard and mouse, elevating your gaming experience to new heights.
