Raid Shadow Legends has unveiled a new five-day Orcs Prism Summon Pool event! Kicking off on September 23rd 2024, this event introduces a focused summoning opportunity for Orc champions, with the centerpiece being the powerful new arrival, Aragaz Wyldking. Let’s dive into what makes this event both rewarding and exciting for players, as well as how to make the most of your chances in summoning the best Orc champions.
The Power of Prism Crystals
- At the heart of this event are Prism Crystals, which serve as the currency for all summons. These crystals can be earned through various in-game events, the most prominent of which is the Special Spider Tournament, offering a generous 35 Prism Crystals for players who rack up 2,750 points. Since each summon requires 35 Prism Crystals, efficient participation in these events is key.
- One important note for those concerned about leftover crystals: Plarium has implemented a system where any unused Prism Crystals at the end of the event will automatically be spent, and the champions summoned will be sent directly to your inbox. This ensures that nothing goes to waste, and you can rest easy knowing that every crystal will be put to good use.
Meet Aragaz Wyldking: The Headline Champion
Every Summon Pool event brings a spotlight champion, and for this Orc-focused event, that title belongs to Aragaz Wyldking. This champion, known for his Faction Unity skills, is set to make a powerful impact on the battlefield. However, summoning Aragaz isn’t a guaranteed outcome for every player. The mechanics of the event ensure that he has a separate summoning chance from other champions in the pool, and players are limited to summoning him only once during the event. This adds an element of exclusivity and challenge for those hoping to secure his services.
The Mercy System: A Friend to the Unlucky
Summon events often rely on luck, but Plarium has included a Mercy System to assist players who face a run of bad fortune. If you’ve summoned 20 times without landing a Legendary champion, the Mercy System kicks in, gradually increasing your chances of pulling a Legendary from subsequent summons by 4% per summon. This feature can be especially helpful in an event where each summon is critical, and it ensures that even the unluckiest players have a light at the end of the tunnel.
Orcs-Only Summon Pool
As the name suggests, this Summon Pool event focuses exclusively on Orc champions. While this limits the overall selection of champions compared to broader summoning events, it gives players who are building up their Orc faction a fantastic chance to bolster their ranks. All champions of the same rarity in the pool have an equal chance of being summoned, meaning you have an even shot at scoring both Epics and Legendaries. However, keep in mind that only a few Legendary Orcs are available during this event, which slightly narrows the pool of top-tier summons.
Event Timing and Summoning Windows
The Orcs Prism Summon Pool runs from 09:45 UTC, September 23rd, to 09:00 UTC, September 27th. Following the end of the main event, a rewarding period will begin, lasting until 09:00 UTC, September 28th. During this time, players will still be able to summon from the pool but will no longer have access to Crystal Offers. This short window allows you to make any final pulls before the event fully closes.
Is It Worth Participating?
The simple answer is yes, especially if you’re already working toward objectives in the Spider Tournament or other in-game events. By participating in the Orcs Prism Summon Pool, you can complete multiple goals at once, making the most of your time and effort. Additionally, with two new Orc champions just added to the game, this event provides a rare opportunity to grab them early, allowing you to strengthen your Orc faction well ahead of most other players.
That said, some players may feel the event is lacking in variety, particularly since key champions like Seer (a highly sought-after Epic champion) are absent from this pool. However, with the addition of new champions like Aragaz Wyldking, the Orc faction is getting stronger, and summoning early gives you an edge in future battles.
Final Thoughts: A Tactical Opportunity
The Orcs Prism Summon Pool offers players a unique chance to enhance their roster with powerful Orc champions. While the focus on one faction may seem limiting, it’s an excellent opportunity for players invested in Orcs or those looking to diversify their champions. With careful planning and participation in in-game events, you can maximize your Prism Crystals and, with some luck, bring home the fearsome Aragaz Wyldking. So gear up, keep an eye on the Events tab, and take full advantage of this Orcs-only summoning event. Whether you’re a veteran of Teleria or a newcomer to Raid: Shadow Legends, this is a tactical opportunity you won’t want to miss. Good luck, and happy raiding!
