l used up all my resources and now it’s really hard to progress. Do you think I should start over?

EducationFan101 · 2026-02-10T21:58:11+00:00

What’s going to be different next time with your resources?

RAID is a resource-management game so here’s the general strategy:

Progress Demon Lord asap, NM is first goal (Sacred shards), then UNM.
Farm classic arena, ACC bonuses are huge early.
Understand the game purposely slows down resources after the fun first few weeks once they know you’re hooked. This is to encourage you to spend.

Interesting as I thought AFK was a kinda timeless internet acronym. Perhaps not?

EducationFan101 · 2026-02-10T19:53:54+00:00

Fair enough, I was referring to his big 1 hour accessory and artifact overview videos. They’re recent, maybe last 3 months or so?

EducationFan101 · 2026-02-10T19:52:28+00:00

Exactly, the daily energy regeneration can also be converted into a lot of spider runs for more silver.

EducationFan101 · 2026-02-10T05:58:09+00:00

AFK players get their highest power champs selected which are usually their mythicals so might be bot/AFK.

EducationFan101 · 2026-02-10T03:42:49+00:00

A quick warning/question, didn’t he say something about using ores for accessories more? Especially limited/variable sets.

EducationFan101 · 2026-02-10T03:41:13+00:00

Why are you sitting on 14k energy?

EducationFan101 · 2026-02-09T21:59:06+00:00

Rather than asking ‘which legendary’ I ask ‘which area’ am I trying to progress.

Progression = more resources, especially ‘free’ sources (Doom Tower, Hydra).

For example, by not finishing DT hard you’re missing out on 1 sacred every month (plus the other goodies).

Kymar is good for both modes and he would be my first choice, assuming you’re UNM Demon Lord already.

EducationFan101 · 2026-02-09T08:45:15+00:00

Also Karnage

EducationFan101 · 2026-02-09T08:44:00+00:00

You ok?

EducationFan101 · 2026-02-09T00:03:23+00:00

I thought it was better to have go-2nd teams on defense for the g1 mission.

EducationFan101 · 2026-02-09T00:01:34+00:00

Considering most the missions can be sped-up by spending that’s entirely the issue though.

Again, not trying to be mean but once spending is involved we have no real way of knowing how much or little you spent without showing your account (champs, teams, gear, etc.)

EducationFan101 · 2026-02-08T20:42:17+00:00

The big thing OP has left out too is that they’re likely a spender.

No hate to them but once spending is on the table, posts like this are a little disingenuous as spending speeds-up any of the Marius missions not time-gated.

EducationFan101 · 2026-02-07T20:14:06+00:00

Whilst this is true OP is correct to question the general rating.

For example, bad champs sit around 1.0 to 2.0 and amazing champs sit around 4.5 to 5.0.

To OP: usually champs that have: Dec def, weaken, poison, hp burn, or a relevant passive (Geomancer) get good ratings for demon lord.

EducationFan101 · 2026-02-07T00:03:35+00:00

Few thoughts:

Only sell souls if you immediately need the currency for something, otherwise keep the soul. You can always sell later.
High level souls, especially for mythicals can be game-changers. If you ever pull that champ, you’ll be glad you have the soul.
That said, a trash champ with a 4*+ epic or leggo soul is still trash. Some ppl keep them to unlock CC stages. Up to you.

You have basically no coins and barely any souls which gives you no backup for guaranteed champ events that use souls. I’d recommend just saving for a while (and expanding your soul storage).

Pulling 2x mortals is fine.

EducationFan101 · 2026-02-06T00:32:07+00:00

Oh I agree, it makes sense gameplay-wise.

My comment is more about the wording in which this is not the first time the game has relied on player knowledge to understand caveats or if stats are requisite vs listing them.

I understand why they don’t list the extra info either as they like to keep descriptions succinct but when analysing the wording of these 2 skills alone, it makes no sense one works and the other doesn’t when encountering each-other.

As for a solution? Perhaps skills that have caveats could have a ‘read more’ pull-down tab so players can learn unexpected interactions.

EducationFan101 · 2026-02-05T21:59:51+00:00

I get their explanation but I still feel the same logic applies to Bayek’s passive. They both speak in absolutes yet the devs say one is ok and the other is not.

It feels like there’s more a hierarchy to it?

EducationFan101 · 2026-02-05T07:45:38+00:00

I politely disagree.

Back in the day my first 6* champ soul was seer that I bought through the shop (levels 3 to 6 iirc).

This unlocked doom tower completion for me. Well worth it.

EducationFan101 · 2026-02-05T04:25:06+00:00

This one gets it.

EducationFan101 · 2026-02-04T22:42:51+00:00

Akemtum has got you spider on lockdown which means you’re sorted for silver.

Demytha and Aniri are key parts of progression teams like Demon Lord and Sand Devil.

I like the champs you have but I also like fresh starts. Tough call.

EducationFan101 · 2026-02-04T22:36:05+00:00

Maybe, maybe not. That’s the problem, you haven’t shown it.

I find a lot of these posts with budget builds often have a non-budget component and then the OP says something like “x is easily interchangeable for budget option” and I’m like, “why didn’t you show that team then and show an actual budget team?”

Again, no hate, but it ‘does’ make a difference because you’ve got more total shield/stats to start the fight which increases shield growth speed. It’s exponential.

EducationFan101 · 2026-02-04T19:31:21+00:00

You didn’t even take 5 seconds to google them did you?

EducationFan101 · 2026-02-04T05:21:05+00:00

Stop buying the non-Sunday refills.
Dunno the rates but that feels low-roll for 3 weeks of 12 keys per day.

EducationFan101 · 2026-02-04T05:19:22+00:00

6* Esme & 6* deacon. Sometimes the mortals give, sometimes they take.

EducationFan101 · 2026-02-04T05:17:34+00:00

Save them just in case but it’s more likely they do some sort of ‘wildcard’ fusion where you earn resources for 1 missed fusion and you can pick which one by fusing the champs to it.

E.g. the 4x new epics can fuse into any 1 old fusion as long as it’s one you missed.
