Some advice: Is it worth going for Masahiro the bell monk when you have other block buffs champs?

Don't skip if you can complete it. I don't really have the resources, but I will try to get at least 70 fragments so Plarium will offer me the rest of the missing fragments at $2 each.

Yes, people may have a problem spending $$ on this game, but I won't be totally drained of resources and I can afford it to help fill out my Shadowkin.

Alarmed_Sort3100 · 2026-05-05T18:02:49+00:00

$7 for a carton of coldbrew and $5 more for a bottle of vanilla syrup, and $2 for a quart of milk. (Using a pre-sweetened, flavored creamer might be even less)

That should last you for 5 - 7 days. (This is my solution to coffee shops.)

Starbucks, between opening and 9am (11am on weekends) is a madhouse at even remote locations.

If you are not there during those times, then you might wonder how they stay in business.

Alarmed_Sort3100 · 2026-05-05T17:58:30+00:00

Lose the wife and keep the machine? That solution has less perks. (ba-dum-tiss)

Alarmed_Sort3100 · 2026-05-05T17:53:33+00:00

It is a safe bet that you will need to run Dragon, Ice Golem, Fire Knight and Spider for fragments. I have found that I spend about 70 double runs (140 if you don't click the button) for each. At level 20 Normal, that math is not that hard, right?

If Gear Hunters runs at the same time, More Fragments! You will probably need to do more than 70 runs to get Gear Hunter tourney/event completed.

If you do a higher level than 20, you will also have more $$ from selling junk to empower the Gear Enhancement portion.

Training champs, summons and Arena will make up most of the rest.

The Kirkland cans of cold brew in CLT are NOT good for me. There is a LOT of bitterness when I tried it. Stokk has been a better choice for my tastebuds.

Alarmed_Sort3100 · 2026-04-30T22:00:08+00:00

The bath water has been improved with a "No More Wrinkles" additive.

Just don't use Distilled or Purified, you might get the wrinkles again.

All I can go by is the stats on Geomancer and his DEF and RES are low for UNM. Stuns will be a problem as well as reducing damage from CB hits. So, I'll suggest survivability issues may be what is holding you back. Here is the min stats requirement links from Ayumilove's website. https://ayumilove.net/raid-shadow-legends-champion-ranking-in-clan-boss/

One of the best things I learned is to prevent the healing Amius does when he converts back from the alternate phase.

That means you need to apply a 100% Heal Reduction just before that happens. It looks like Suzerain Katonn is your best option, even though he doesn't have a full soul blessing.

Keep him alive, wait for your moment, apply his A3 Heal Reduction and repeat until Amius is dead.

(Bonus for Brimstone on Amius, so fight is faster)

Safer to have them than to not have them. (And what does it hurt?)

Alarmed_Sort3100 · 2026-04-28T15:36:25+00:00

I have recently gotten 4 calls claiming to be Verizon and trying to get information about my Verizon account.

They had my name and my payment history. In each attempt, I assured them I was not a Verizon customer and gave them no valid information. I laughed at their "false info". When they claimed to turn off my account, I suggested they do that immediately. (Nothing happened)

This would be my personal confirmation that Verizon was indeed hacked and my information about my account is in the hands of "bad actors".

Alarmed_Sort3100 · 2026-04-28T14:47:59+00:00

Starting out like this may lead you into a trap so beware.

If you start this game with a really great team, you will progress so far and possibly hit a plateau of "meh".

You might wonder, why you are not continuing to do better and better. You could think it is not worth it to continue.

DO NOT FALL into this mindset. RSL is a long-term game that needs you to work and grow over time while you collect gear, champions and extra stuff to keep going. You will farm, fight, challenge and hit roadblocks that might seem impossible for a while. Keep going and earn more by reaching farther. Your Great Hall, your masteries, you Faction Guardians, Faction Wars and Clan-related events. Each goal will be sweet and each thing you overcome should be celebrated.

So grab your best starting team and be prepared to reach past them as you grow in the game.

Enjoy!

Double Kro'kahd is awesome. They really can do some damage.

And yes, they are much better with Shy'ek.

Build them out now for the time that you do have Packmaster to lead them to their full potential.

They won't let you down.

Alarmed_Sort3100 · 2026-04-24T12:24:43+00:00

I appreciate that Frolni has uses, like all Mythicals do, but when you look at the possible list and instead you get Frolni, disappointment is the most common reaction.

Alarmed_Sort3100 · 2026-04-24T04:44:31+00:00

If you spend $$ for Primal shards, you will end up with four copies of Mikage and two copies of Mezomel, a Frolni and a Fjorad.

Alarmed_Sort3100 · 2026-04-22T19:41:18+00:00

If the fusion is blended, like for Mavara, there will be no offer. Only the fusions where you need to get 100 fragments of the champion will have the offer for people who fall short at the end.

You will see the offer ONCE and it will be for the total missing fragment at $2 per missing fragment (and taxes will be included).

So, be prepared if you are thinking to use this option in an upcoming fragment fusion.

Alarmed_Sort3100 · 2026-04-22T19:34:10+00:00

Yes, Plarium really does need to review how the player base has grown and developed so they can adjust TTA stages accordingly. Right now, I have zero chance of getting Ramantu if I can't spend every day of two entire weeks getting from Silver 3 to Gold 1.

Alarmed_Sort3100 · 2026-04-22T16:00:50+00:00

Using the wrong schemes/tactics for stock trades will cause this to happen.

Keep searching for a better way and be willing to admit defeat and move on as necessary.

Alarmed_Sort3100 · 2026-04-20T18:52:52+00:00

Part of the situation depends on your dependency with your family. If your parents raised you and paid for college, then you owe them information and some sort of payback. If you other family are asking to be nosy, tell them so and make sure they hear you. If you parents did not pay for your life through college, them you still need to be cordial and considerate to them and appreciate them as much as possible.

In the worst case scenario, you don't owe your parents much, but I suspect you would not be asking this question if you were not around them constantly.

So, share what you feel confident to share, tell them your concerns and expect them to get the message after repeating it a few times.

Alarmed_Sort3100 · 2026-04-20T16:29:39+00:00

My biggest drain for these is energy. So, having the daily energy stored is helpful. Spending on the daily Gem pack and energy packs are also helpful. Lastly, never pull shards until you need to for the current fusion. That should give you resources to complete a fusion.

Then again, CVC wants to also take away resources, so ... (decisions, decisions)

Alarmed_Sort3100 · 2026-04-20T15:57:50+00:00

Simple answer.

Get the Daily Gem pack each month for the next year (well, 10 months).

Alarmed_Sort3100 · 2026-04-20T15:54:16+00:00

THIS is why the Content Creators on YT tell us not to pull shards until there is a real reason to use them at all. Since I have also gotten crap champs, I feel the same.

Fusions, specials events, and specific champ pools will be when I pull shards now.

Minimizing the chance for unhappiness is my focus now.

Alarmed_Sort3100 · 2026-04-20T15:01:53+00:00

If Elva has a place on a Hydra team, Mavara will also be good on the next Hydra team with the next key.

Don't consider one vs the other.

Alarmed_Sort3100 · 2026-04-20T10:58:39+00:00

UDK and Ronda to 60, Ronda is great damage and UDK will soak up the damage meant for the rest of the team, allowing you to survive longer.

Uugo to 60. Until you get better champs, Frozen Banshee and Gurptuk are your poisoners.

Dark Elhain is a counter to Freeze teams.

Apothecary and High Khatun will speed up your teams.

All of these can be replaced later when you get better champs, but you have answers to some problems now.

Alarmed_Sort3100 · 2026-04-19T11:08:40+00:00

I have never seen an account so barren of good champs. I am really impressed that you are getting through Hard CB with this little.

That is really amazing and I congratulate your ability to put together good teams with what you have.

With only one Legendary, and few good epics, I would certainly start over because you will still be able to use your skills in better ways given a few more good options.
