It is obviously very easy to see a champion's base speed, and current speed, via the&nbsp;stats displayed in the champion information screen, but how do you figure out TRUE SPEED?&nbsp;I'll be using this Kyoku build which needs to get to at least 358 true speed in order for the build to work in taking down Bommal Hard 90 successfully.

ky1.png

Here we can see the speed clearly showing the base of 95, and what the gear adds of 197, giving us a total sheet speed of 292. We are not done there though, because there are also auras and masteries to consider when calculating total true speed.

ky2.png

We can take the Spirit Haste mastery to give us up to 24 speed that will be added during the battle. This can be especially useful when trying to build champions for clearing content solo, like farming the campaign or certain boss strategies.

ky3.png

There is also another mastery called Whirlwind of Death that can add another 18 speed if we are able to get at least 3 kills.

ky4.png

Then lastly, we need to consider which leadership aura we are bringing into battle for the team. In this case, our Lady Kimi is providing a 30% Ally SPD aura. Leadership auras only get take into account the base stat when they are applied. This means we take our Kyoku's base speed of 95 and add the 30% bonus to that. 30% of 95 is 28.5. Now we must add that 28.5 to our true speed calculation.

ky5.png

Now that we know all of the contributing factors to our true speed, it's time to calculate the actual total.

Total Sheet Speed: 292 
Spirit Haste Mastery: 24 
Whirlwind of Death Mastery: 18 
Aura Bonus: 28.5 
 
Adding all of those together, gives us 362.5 true speed, which means we now know we hit our goal of achieving at least 358 true speed!

Everyone can see their champion's speed, but how to figure out this TRUE SPEED that everyone talks about?

The Raid 11.40 patch notes are officially here, and while some of the quality-of-life additions were already teased, the full update still managed to raise a few eyebrows. Between the new Platinum and Diamond Raid Cards, a major Cruetraxa buff, permanent Super Raids in Potion Keeps, and a long list of bug fixes, this update has more going on than it first appeared.

&nbsp;

<a href="https://youtu.be/ZGWMuTfDvb8" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"><img src="https://img.youtube.com/vi/ZGWMuTfDvb8/maxresdefault.jpg" alt="OFFICIAL PATCH NOTES: Some Raised an Eyebrow.."></a>



&nbsp;

For many players, the headline change will be the expanded <a href="https://www.raidshadowlegends.com" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Raid</a> subscription system. Plarium has added two new monthly options above the older card tiers, and both are clearly aimed at players who still spend a lot of time in Campaign and who want more account automation. That is where the first real debate starts, because some of the new convenience features are useful, but they are also locked behind another paywall.

&nbsp;

<h2>New Raid Card Tiers in 11.40</h2> 

Platinum Raid Card The new Platinum Raid Card gives players 20% extra XP in Campaign, 30% extra Silver from Campaign battles, 100 extra Multi-Battles, doubled XP per hour in the Sparring Pit, and automatic leveling in the Sparring Pit. That last feature is easily one of the most noticeable additions in the entire patch, because it removes some of the repetitive babysitting from champion leveling. The catch is obvious though: once a champion reaches max level, you still have to swap them out manually.

&nbsp;

Diamond Raid Card The Diamond Raid Card includes everything from Platinum, but adds 140 extra Multi-Battles, 1 Legendary Skill Tome per month, and 1 monthly chest with random rewards. Those chest rewards can range from Rank 5 Chickens and Chaos Ore to Legendary Tomes, a Mythical Skill Tome, Void Shards, or Primal Shards. On paper, that sounds decent. In practice, the random chest is still a gamble, and that is likely why this part of the patch immediately got mixed reactions from the community.

&nbsp;

For early-game and some mid-game accounts, these cards can still offer real value, especially if Campaign farming is part of the daily routine. For late-game accounts, the value becomes much more situational. If you are already relying mostly on brews, not pushing Campaign often, and not desperate for more Multi-Battles, then the new subscription tiers look more like optional convenience than must-have progression tools.

&nbsp;

<h2>Best Quality-of-Life Changes in the Patch</h2> 

Improved Minotaur Scroll Distribution One of the most useful updates in 11.40 is the change to Mastery Scroll distribution. Before this patch, any extra scrolls earned by a champion who had already maxed that scroll tier were simply wasted. Now, those surplus scrolls can transfer to another champion from the same run, as long as that champion participated in the battle and still needs that specific type of scroll. That is a clean fix to an old annoyance and makes Minotaur farming a bit less wasteful.

&nbsp;

Permanent Super Raids in Potion Keeps This one is straightforward and overdue. Potion Keep farming is now permanently faster thanks to Super Raids being enabled there. It is not flashy, but it is a welcome time-saver for anyone still building champions regularly or catching up on ascensions.

&nbsp;

Live Arena Schedule Expansion Plarium has also expanded the Live Arena schedule. Each daily window is now longer, and the updated UTC slots are 00:00–04:00, 06:00–10:00, 12:00–16:00, and 18:00–22:00. That gives players more flexibility to fit Live Arena into their day, which is a sensible improvement even if some players preferred the tighter old schedule.

&nbsp;

<h2>Cruetraxa Is the Big Winner of 11.40</h2> 

The biggest balance story in this patch is clearly Cruetraxa. Her Skill 1 now also ignores [Block Damage], her Skill 2 cooldown has been reduced from 4 turns to 3, and that same skill now strips all buffs before attacking, places [Weaken], ignores 25% DEF, and applies [Block Revive] if it gets the kill. On top of that, her passive now grants a protected [Revive On Death] and gives her a full Turn Meter refill plus [Increase ATK] when she revives through it.

&nbsp;

That is a serious upgrade, especially for Arena. The combination of stronger buff control, more reliable kill pressure, and better self-revival makes her look far more dangerous than before. She was already a champion with upside, but these changes push her much closer to true meta relevance. If you already had Cruetraxa sitting in the vault or half-built, this patch is a good reason to take another look.

&nbsp;

The other rebalance target, The Incarnate, also improved. The update strengthens the champion’s provoke chance, expands the counterattack conditions, upgrades buff removal, improves shielding, and adds stronger Arbiter synergy. That should make the champion more usable, but the impact still looks far smaller than what Cruetraxa gained from this rebalance cycle.

&nbsp;

<h2>Most Important Bug Fixes in the Patch</h2> 

The 11.40 patch also came with a long list of fixes, and a few of them matter more than the rest.

&nbsp;

Pelops the Victor One of Pelops’ selling points is his interaction with [Petrification], so it was a real problem that he could still be hit by reflected Petrification despite supposed immunity. That has now been fixed, which is important because it restores one of the champion’s defining mechanics instead of leaving him undermined by a bug.

&nbsp;

Sanguine Maria Her passive was failing to place [True Fear] on all opponents after she revived. That is not a cosmetic bug. That is a core kit problem, and fixing it should make her much more consistent in the situations where players bring her for that disruptive revive pressure.

&nbsp;

Solanar the Gleaming Solanar was incorrectly immune to [Block Revive] when Blazing Force was not on cooldown. That bug has now been removed. In plain terms, this is not a direct nerf, but it does stop him from benefiting from an unintended advantage.

&nbsp;

Arne the White Several fixes hit Arne the White, including issues around his Song of Steel text and the second hit tied to [Deathbrand]. Players using him in PvP and PvE should now see the skill behave much more consistently with its intended design.

&nbsp;

Gronjarr and other edge-case fixes A few of the remaining fixes are smaller but still worth noting. Gronjarr’s passive was incorrectly putting [HP Burn] on himself instead of the attacker, Clan members now properly show how long they have been offline, and a bug that let players craft Relics in the Forge with fewer than 100 materials was also corrected. That last one stands out because the official notes did not explain how far the bug went, which naturally leaves players wondering how much it may have affected relic progression.

&nbsp;

<h2>Promo Code Mentioned With the Update</h2> 

Alongside the patch discussion, the promo code MIDGAMEJOKE was highlighted as a bonus freebie for players, including a 5-Star Chicken. As always with Raid promo codes, claim it quickly if it is still active on your account.

&nbsp;

<h2>Final Thoughts on RAID 11.40</h2> 

Patch 11.40 is a mixed update, but not an empty one. The best parts are the practical ones: better scroll distribution, permanent Super Raids in Potion Keeps, longer Live Arena windows, and meaningful bug fixes for champions who were not working properly. The most controversial parts are easy to spot too, namely the extra monetization around the new Raid Cards and the lack of clarity around certain fixes like the Relic materials issue.

&nbsp;

Still, if there is one clear gameplay winner from this patch, it is Cruetraxa. Her rebalance looks strong enough to change how many players view the champion entirely. Add in the Pelops and Sanguine Maria fixes, and this update ends up being more important for actual gameplay than the first summary suggested.

RAID 11.40 patch notes bring Kraxa buffs, new Raid Card tiers, permanent Super Raids in Potion Keeps, Live Arena schedule changes, and several important bug fixes.

RAID 11.40 Patch Notes: Creutraxa Buffs, Raid Cards, Bug Fixes Now

<a href="https://www.raidshadowlegends.com" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">RAID: Shadow Legends</a> has outlined what is coming in update 11.40.0, and while this is not one of those massive game-changing patches, there is still plenty here worth paying attention to. The headline addition is the <a href="https://www.raidshadowlegends.com" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Raid</a> Demon Coalition event, backed up by a few long-requested quality-of-life improvements and a notable rebalance discussion around Cruetraxa and the Incarnate.

&nbsp;

From our perspective, this patch looks more like a practical update than a revolutionary one. It gives players a new community-focused boss event to engage with, improves some everyday farming efficiency, and adds a few smaller interface and arena changes that should make the game a little smoother to play.

&nbsp;

<a href="https://youtu.be/R7dOmrZW6Xk" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"><img src="https://img.youtube.com/vi/R7dOmrZW6Xk/maxresdefault.jpg" alt="RAID Update Highlights 11.40.0 Breakdown"></a>

 Demon Coalition Event Overview

&nbsp;

The main feature in update 11.40.0 is the Demon Coalition event. This mode puts the entire community against the Tainted Demon Lord, which is essentially a tougher event-specific version of Clan Boss. The good news is that participation does not require Clan Boss keys or extra resources. If your account is level 30 or higher, you can jump in.

&nbsp;

The event is split into several stages. The first stage has no champion restrictions, while the later stages apply special conditions that limit what you can bring. All stages are available from the start, so players can choose where they want to focus rather than unlocking them one by one.

&nbsp;

Each stage includes four damage milestones. Hitting those thresholds earns Demonic Points, and if you push beyond the final milestone, you can earn bonus points for extra damage dealt. There is one important catch, though: on repeat runs, that bonus only applies when you beat your own previous best damage on that stage. In other words, players cannot simply repeat lower-value overflow damage for extra easy points.

&nbsp;

One of the biggest balancing changes in this event is the 100,000 cap on each shield type during Tainted Demon Lord battles. This only applies inside the event, but it is still a major detail because it directly limits the kind of massive shield scaling strategies that normally dominate boss damage setups. Teams that rely heavily on oversized shields will need to adjust.

&nbsp;

The reward structure follows the same dual-track style we have seen before. There is a Personal Progress bar for your own rewards and a Coalition Progress bar that tracks the entire community. As the wider playerbase hits coalition milestones, everyone participating can benefit from shared rewards and score multipliers.

&nbsp;

For competitive players, the event also includes three ranking tabs:

&nbsp;

• Clan Rankings, which are mostly for comparison and do not offer extra rewards.

• Rankings, which place players into bracketed groups similar to normal tournaments.

• Top 100, which is the global high-end leaderboard for the biggest damage dealers in the event.

&nbsp;

The rewards look respectable rather than outrageous. The standout value appears to be tied to mythical Relic materials and the chance at Mythical Cruel and Mythical Immortal gear. That gives the event some real appeal for players who want premium loot, even if the format itself may not feel especially groundbreaking at first glance.

&nbsp;

Mastery Scroll Distribution Finally Improves

&nbsp;

One of the better quality-of-life changes in this patch is the adjustment to Minotaur mastery scroll distribution. Before update 11.40.0, when a champion finished a scroll tier, any extra scrolls of that type from the battle were simply wasted. That was always clunky, especially during efficient mastery farming.

&nbsp;

Now, those overflow scrolls can transfer to another champion in the same run, as long as that champion took part in the battle and still needs that same type of mastery scroll. This does not solve everything, because the overflow is still lost if nobody else on the team can use it, but it is still a clear improvement over the old system.

&nbsp;

For players who actually farm Minotaur regularly, this will make mastery runs feel less wasteful and a bit more efficient. It is a sensible fix, and frankly one that should have been in the game a long time ago.

&nbsp;

Potion Keep Super Raids and Other QoL Changes

&nbsp;

Another welcome improvement is that Super Raids are being added to all Potion Keeps. This is not flashy, but it is practical. Any time players can cut down on repetitive farming without losing rewards, that is a win.

&nbsp;

Update 11.40.0 also extends Live Arena activity windows. Instead of the tighter schedule many players have grown used to, each activity block now lasts four hours. That should make it easier for more regions and more real-life schedules to fit Live Arena into the day, even if some players who liked the stricter windows may need to adjust their routine.

&nbsp;

There are two smaller additions worth noting as well. First, any champion affected by the balance changes will receive a complete ratings reset. Second, team setup will now include a “Don’t show this message again” checkbox on the Aura warning pop-up. That last one is minor, but for players who build teams constantly, it is the kind of small cleanup that makes the interface less irritating over time.

&nbsp;

Champion Rebalance Thoughts: Cruetraxavs the Incarnate

&nbsp;

The rebalance side of the update has drawn plenty of attention, especially around Cruetraxa and the Incarnate. Based on the breakdown in the video, the feeling here is pretty straightforward: the Incarnate buff looks solid, but Cruetraxa is the one with real meta-upside.

&nbsp;

For the Incarnate, the changes appear useful without pushing the champion into a completely different tier. There is value there, especially in tandem setups and for players still progressing through areas like Great Hall development, but it does not look like the kind of rebalance that suddenly flips the endgame Arena meta on its head.

&nbsp;

Cruetraxa is another story. The adjustments discussed in the video address some of the biggest problems holding the champion back. The improved interaction with block damage, the stronger pressure into defensive setups, and the added value around revive on death all make the kit far more threatening. On paper, that gives Cruetraxa a much better shot at carving out a real place in Arena and other PvP-heavy environments.

&nbsp;

If that version of the rebalance goes live as expected, Cruetraxa looks like the much bigger winner from this patch. It is the sort of buff that actually changes how players may draft around the champion rather than simply making the numbers a bit cleaner.

&nbsp;

Final Thoughts on Update 11.40.0

&nbsp;

RAID update 11.40.0 is not a giant headline patch, but it does bring a respectable set of improvements. The Demon Coalition event gives players a new community objective with some worthwhile rewards, the mastery scroll overflow change fixes an old annoyance, Potion Keep Super Raids are overdue in the best possible way, and the Live Arena time expansion should help more players get their matches in.

&nbsp;

The rebalance discussion is probably where the long-term interest sits, especially if Cruetraxa lands exactly as previewed. So while this update may not completely reshape RAID overnight, it still includes enough meaningful adjustments to keep it relevant for both everyday grinders and PvP-focused players.

&nbsp;

If you want a practical summary, that is the real story of 11.40.0: not flashy across the board, but useful in several places, and potentially very important for a few specific champions and event strategies.

The latest <a href="https://www.raidshadowlegends.com" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Raid: Shadow Legends</a> Digest gives players a clearer look at several important fixes and quality-of-life changes that are now on the way. While this update is not packed with balance reworks, it does touch a few high-profile issues that matter in both PvP and general account progression.

&nbsp;

The biggest talking points are easy to spot. Pelops the Victor is finally set to receive the Petrification immunity fix many players expected from day one. Solanar the Gleaming will lose an unintended interaction that let him ignore Block Revive in certain situations. Ukko is also on the list, with Plarium confirming that his A2 interaction against Total Guard will be adjusted in a future update. On top of that, Minotaur farming is getting a welcome efficiency boost. 

<a href="https://youtu.be/_S86BGa0ilk" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"><img src="https://img.youtube.com/vi/_S86BGa0ilk/maxresdefault.jpg" alt="RAID Digest for March 2026 video thumbnail"></a>
&nbsp;

<h2>Minotaur Scroll Overflow Fix Is Finally Coming</h2> 

One of the best quality-of-life notes in this digest is the incoming Minotaur scroll change. Right now, if one champion is close to capping their scrolls, any extra scrolls earned in the run are simply wasted. That has always made Minotaur farming less efficient than it should be, especially when finishing off a mastery path on one champion inside a full team.

&nbsp;

In the next major update, those surplus scrolls will instead move to a teammate with the highest amount of the equivalent scroll type. It is a straightforward change, but a useful one. Anything that cuts down waste in mastery farming is a net positive, especially for players still building core dungeon, Hydra, Doom Tower, or Arena rosters.

&nbsp;

<h2>Pelops the Victor Bug Fix Matters More Than It Looks</h2> 

Pelops the Victor was marketed with passive immunity to Petrification, but players quickly found scenarios where that immunity did not hold up. The most notable case mentioned in the digest is when an enemy reflects Petrification back through the Wand of Submission relic. In those situations, Pelops could still end up Petrified, which directly contradicts the role his passive is supposed to play.

&nbsp;

That matters because Pelops was immediately viewed as a specialist answer to one of the more frustrating control mechanics in the game. If he is not reliably immune, then one of the clearest reasons to build and field him loses real value. The official fix should restore that intended niche and make his anti-Petrification identity much more dependable in practice.

&nbsp;

<h2>Solanar the Gleaming Is Losing an Unintended Safety Net</h2> 

Another major point in the digest is Solanar the Gleaming. According to Plarium, while his A2 was not on cooldown, he was unintentionally immune to the Block Revive effect and could even revive himself through his passive. That is a massive interaction on an already elite champion.

&nbsp;

This fix is important because Block Revive is meant to be one of the cleanest ways to shut down dangerous revive loops and passive recovery mechanics. When a champion at Solanar’s level can bypass that, it shifts difficult fights even further in his favor. Once corrected, he should remain extremely strong, but he will no longer have access to a mechanic that Plarium has now clearly labeled unintended.

&nbsp;

<h2>Ukko and Total Guard Interaction Will Be Changed Later</h2> 

The digest also calls out Ukko’s interaction with Total Guard. As things currently stand, Ukko’s A2 cannot place Block Buffs on an enemy if that target has even a single stack of Total Guard. Plarium says this behavior comes from how the skill is coded, and it will be changed in a later update so that one stack alone is no longer enough to stop the debuff from landing.

&nbsp;

This is quietly one of the more interesting notes in the entire post. Ukko already brings strong utility through buff removal, control, and general disruption, so improving how his A2 functions into Total Guard can make him even more reliable in matches where protected buff mechanics are deciding the outcome. It is not listed for the next major patch alongside the other fixes, but it is still worth watching closely.

&nbsp;

<h2>Other Digest Notes: Fan Art Voting and CvC</h2> 

Outside of bug fixes, the digest also highlights community voting for the best entries in the recent Assassin’s Creed fan art contest. That is more of a community-side update than a gameplay one, but it is part of the broader collaboration push and worth a quick mention for players following the crossover content.

&nbsp;

The final gameplay note is simple but relevant: the next Clan vs Clan Tournament will not include Personal Rewards. That changes how many players approach resource usage, especially on accounts that normally save books, gear upgrades, or summoning actions specifically for personal reward windows.

&nbsp;

<h2>Final Thoughts on the March 2026 RAID Digest</h2> 

This March 2026 RAID Digest is a useful one because it addresses real gameplay problems rather than filler. The Minotaur scroll adjustment should make mastery farming less wasteful, Pelops is finally getting the Petrification immunity fix players expected, Solanar is losing an unintended layer of protection, and Ukko’s Total Guard interaction is at least on the roadmap.

&nbsp;

None of these changes reinvent the game on their own, but together they clean up several frustrating interactions and clarify how Plarium wants these champions to function moving forward. For players tracking Arena performance, champion reliability, and account efficiency, this digest is definitely one worth paying attention to.

This week’s Progressive Chance event in <a href="https://www.raidshadowlegends.com" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Raid: Shadow Legends</a> does not look especially impressive on the surface, but there is a lot more value here than a normal 15x roster would suggest. Between Edward Kenway’s Pirates Path, a handful of strong featured Void Legendaries, and a very unusual empowerment overlap, this is one of those events where account context matters far more than first impressions.

&nbsp;

In a normal week, this would be easy to dismiss as another bait-style summon event. The extra dungeon boosts are decent without being exceptional, and the featured lineup looks strange at first glance. Once the full picture comes into focus, though, this event becomes much more interesting for players chasing Edward Kenway, players targeting Bayek, or players who have been sitting on valuable awakenings and duplicate champions. 


 <a href="https://youtu.be/bAWg7F6Fk0s" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">
 <img src="https://img.youtube.com/vi/bAWg7F6Fk0s/maxresdefault.jpg" alt="This 15X EVENT Is More Than Meets the Eye" style="max-width: 100%; height: auto;">
 </a>


&nbsp;

<h2>Why This Raid 15x Event Matters</h2> 

The biggest reason this event matters is simple: Edward Kenway’s Pirates Path opens at the same time, and summoning is the easiest way to move through that event. That immediately gives this Progressive Chance event more weight than it would normally have. Instead of being judged only on the quality of the featured roster, it also has to be evaluated in terms of how well it supports one of the most desirable limited-time crossover champions currently available.

&nbsp;

On top of that, there are extra dungeon incentives running alongside the summon event. Spider offers 3x Banner Lords accessories, Ice Golem offers 3x Reflex gear, and Fire Knight offers 3x Stun gear. None of those are bad, but they are not the kind of side boosts that completely change the week on their own. Stun gear can still be worth the effort if there is overlap with your current plans, but this is not one of those slam-dunk farming windows where everything lines up perfectly.

&nbsp;

<h2>Featured Champions in the Progressive Chance Pool</h2> 

The featured lineup includes Kassandra, Shyek, Ezio Auditore, Helior, Cupidus, Bayek, Pontiff Augustin, and Ursuga Warcaller. It is an unusual mix, which is exactly why it is easy to underestimate at first.

&nbsp;

Kassandra remains notable as the first Arcanist-style fusion added to the game, while Shyek still offers a solid option from Sacred Order. Ezio, of course, carries built-in appeal because of the Assassin’s Creed crossover. Helior and Ursuga are not the type of champions most players immediately circle as top-tier summon targets in the current meta, which is part of why the deeper value of this event can be easy to miss. Then there is Cupidus, Bayek, and Pontiff Augustin, each of whom gives this roster a very different layer of relevance depending on what your account needs most.

&nbsp;

<h2>Bayek Is the Clear Meta Standout</h2> 

If the goal is simply to identify the strongest champion on the roster in today’s meta, Bayek is the clear standout. He brings a very unusual passive that opens up some creative and powerful play patterns, hits hard, and adds meaningful utility through his extra-turn buffing mechanic. The ability to maintain Perfect Veil for a large portion of the fight only adds to his value, especially in competitive Arena settings where both pressure and survivability matter.

&nbsp;

This is the easiest champion on the banner to justify chasing if the account can support the risk of summoning during a Progressive Chance event. He is not just good in theory. He is good right now, and he fits the current game well. For players who want immediate impact rather than speculative long-term value, Bayek is the best name on the board.

&nbsp;

<h2>Pontiff Augustin Is a Quietly Strong Value Pick</h2> 

The other champion worth taking very seriously here is Pontiff Augustin. He is not the obvious flashy headliner, but he brings a lot to the table. A unique passive, an extra turn mechanic, a 25% Turn Meter boost, and a strong 110 base Speed all combine to make him one of the more intriguing strategic options on the roster.

&nbsp;

For players with strong Knight Revenant speed banners or for anyone already sitting on a high-value awakening for him, Pontiff Augustin becomes even more appealing. He is one of those champions whose value can increase sharply once the supporting pieces are in place. That makes him a legitimate consideration, especially for accounts that are already built to take advantage of his kit.

&nbsp;

<h2>The Hidden Value: Empowerment Overlap</h2> 

This is where the event becomes more than it first appears to be. Several of the featured champions are not just standalone pulls. They are also empowerment champions for some of the crossover champions players care most about right now.

&nbsp;

Cupidus is the empowerment champion for Ezio Auditore. Ursuga Warcaller is the empowerment champion for Bayek. Helior is the empowerment champion for Edward Kenway. That completely changes how some accounts should value these summons. A champion that might otherwise feel like a mediocre or outdated pull can suddenly become highly relevant when it directly boosts a champion you are actively targeting or already using.

&nbsp;

That matters even more during a week centered on Edward Kenway’s Pirates Path. If Edward is the goal, Helior carries much more practical value than he would in a normal Progressive event. The same logic applies to Ursuga for Bayek and Cupidus for Ezio. This is what makes the roster look strange at first, yet quietly strong once the empowerment links are taken into account.

&nbsp;

<h2>A Good Reminder About Duplicate Legendaries</h2> 

There is also a broader lesson here for long-term account management. Duplicate Legendaries should not always be rushed into empowerment just because they are not seeing regular play. Events like this are a good reminder that a champion’s value can change quickly once new empowerment pairings or crossover synergies enter the picture.

&nbsp;

A duplicate Ursuga or Helior may not feel important in a vacuum, but that calculation changes once they become a direct route to improving a stronger, more relevant champion. In other words, even lower-priority dupes can end up having real future value. Burning them too early can be a mistake.

&nbsp;

<h2>Should You Summon in This Event?</h2> 

That depends entirely on what your account is trying to do this week. If Edward Kenway’s Pirates Path is not a priority, if Bayek is not a target, and if none of the empowerment angles matter to your roster, then this still looks like a fairly average Progressive Chance event. There is value here, but not enough to ignore discipline with shards.

&nbsp;

If Edward Kenway is the goal, though, or if Bayek and his empowerment path are already on your radar, the event becomes much more appealing. Bayek offers top-end immediate value. Pontiff Augustin offers sneaky upside for the right account. Helior, Ursuga, and Cupidus all carry hidden value that can matter more than their surface-level ranking would suggest.

&nbsp;

<h2>Conclusion</h2> 

This Raid 15x event is not just another routine summon window. The dungeon boosts are serviceable, the featured roster is stronger than it first appears, and the real value sits in the overlap between Edward Kenway’s path and the empowerment champions hidden inside the Progressive pool.

&nbsp;

For accounts chasing Edward Kenway, looking for Bayek, or holding useful awakenings and dupes, this event deserves a much closer look than the average 15x. That is what makes it more than meets the eye.

Edward Kenway summon value rises sharply in this Raid 15x event thanks to hidden empowerment overlap, Bayek, Pontiff Augustin, and smarter shard decisions.
