Update Highlights 1.13.5
Hey, everyone!
We have some exciting news for you all and an opportunity to provide the Dev Team with early feedback. But first things first!
Given the recent delay with the release of patch 1.13, we have decided to adjust our development cycle in order to ensure you guys have a steady stream of new features. And there is going to be one more innovation; namely, we are will publish small press-release articles, like the one you are reading right now, with information regarding upcoming features and changes.
Please keep in mind that changing circumstances may affect the upcoming Update. So not everything you read below is set in stone, but it is the current game plan. Check it out and leave your feedback in the comments below!
New Features
Daily Login Rewards Update
With the constant influx of new players and the growing ranks of veterans in Raid: Shadow Legends, we felt it is time to further enhance the current Daily Login Rewards program. This will not be a replacement of the old one, instead this is an addition that will boost the entire program to 180 days in total.
New Daily Login Rewards will be available to all players and will comprise a variety of valuable rewards, including Gems, Skill Tomes, and Shards. On top of that, there will be two new Epic Champions and one Legendary available on days 120, 150, 180 respectively.
You can find a detailed description of these Champions and their Skills below! As always, your feedback and comments are welcome:

Platinum Tier Rewards
We have already announced this in another thread, but it is worth noting that there will be major changes to the Platinum Tier Arena Chests. To recap, there will be three types of Platinum Tier Chests: Ultra Platinum Tier Chests (players who hold 1st, 2nd, and 3rd places in the Platinum Tier at the time of the reset), Super Platinum Chest (places 4 to 20), and Platinum Tier Chests (places 21 to 300). All of these chests will contain valuable rewards and some new items such as Player Profile avatars (Ultra and Super Platinum Chests will each have two avatars as a possible drop) and brand new Artifact Sets. These Sets deserve a special mention:
Swift Parry Set (4)
SPD +18%. C. DMG +30%. 50% chance to get Unkillable for 1 turn when hit with a fatal hit.
Deflection Set (4)
HP +20%. DEF +20%. 25% chance to deflect 1 debuff onto the attacker when a debuff is placed on the wearer.
Players who take first place in the Platinum Tier will be awarded a special Badge of Honour that will perpetually show on their profile.
Affinity Dungeons and Potions
This is a long-standing request indeed; we’ve monitored the situation with Potions for a while and took several steps to help players (Potion Mixing, additional sources such as Clan Boss Chests), but with a multitude of new Champions added to the game we also want to make sure our players have a more certain way of obtaining Potions to Ascend them. As such, we will be significantly increasing the number of Lesser Potions in a single drop for later Stages of the Affinity Keeps. As an example, where you could get 7 Lesser Potions at max for Stage 15 before, you will now get 7 Lesser Potions at the minimum.
Miscellaneous and Bugfix
- Speed hack fixed
- AI fix for Septimus
- Yannica, Angar, Sethallia, and Shamrock will have their ratings reset due to the significant balance changes that we’ve made in the previous Update
