- Pulling shards outside 2x events. Fix: save ancients, voids and sacreds for events. See the shard events guide.
- Leveling every new champion. Fix: one 6-star at a time, farmer first.
- Using a second new player code. Fix: only one works per account, so pick carefully.
- Upgrading bad gear to 16. Fix: upgrade gear to 12 to see its substats, go to 16 only on good pieces.
- Selling or wasting Rares. Fix: keep Rares with useful debuffs; vault the rest as food.
- Skipping Clan Boss. Fix: two keys every day, in any clan.
- Ignoring accuracy. Fix: debuffs need accuracy to land; gear your debuffers for it.
- Spending gems on energy early. Fix: buy the Gem Mine and masteries first.
- Farming the wrong dungeon. Fix: Dragon's Lair first for speed and lifesteal.
- Giving up on the Arbiter missions. Fix: follow them as your roadmap.
The fix routine
Pick one 6-star target, stop pulling until the next 2x, hit Clan Boss daily, farm Dragon's Lair, and check accuracy on every debuffer. Do that for a month and the account looks different.
FAQ
What is the biggest beginner mistake in Raid?
Pulling shards one at a time outside 2x events. Save them and pull during events.
Should I upgrade all my gear to 16?
No. Upgrade to 12 to reveal substats and only take good pieces to 16.
