How to Farm Campaign Efficiently in RAID: Shadow Legends
Campaign farming is the foundation of fast progression in RAID: Shadow Legends. Nearly everything in the early and mid game – XP, silver, food champions, and basic gear – comes from efficient Campaign runs. Players who master Campaign farming early progress weeks faster than those who don’t.
This guide explains exactly how to farm RAID Campaign efficiently, which stages to run, which champions to use and how to avoid common farming mistakes.
Why Campaign Farming Matters in RAID
Campaign farming is the most efficient way to:
- level up champions quickly,
- earn silver consistently,
- create food champions for rank upgrades,
- progress missions and challenges.
Without proper Campaign farming, dungeon progression slows down and account growth stalls.
Best Campaign Difficulty for Farming
Campaign has four difficulties:
- Normal
- Hard
- Brutal
- Nightmare
Best Overall Difficulty: Brutal
Brutal difficulty offers the best balance between:
- energy cost,
- XP per run,
- silver income.
Nightmare is inefficient for most players due to high energy costs and lower XP efficiency.
Best Campaign Stage to Farm
Brutal 12-3 (Top Choice)
Brutal Stage 12-3 is considered the best farming stage in the game.
Why 12-3 is optimal:
- Very high XP per energy
- Excellent silver income
- Shield gear sells for more silver
- Fast clear times
Alternative: Brutal 12-6
- Slightly more XP
- Slower clears
- Less silver efficiency
For most players, 12-3 remains the best option.
Best Champion for Campaign Farming
Your farmer must be able to:
- clear waves solo,
- survive consistently,
- clear fast.
Best Beginner Campaign Farmer
Kael
- Strong AoE damage
- Self-sustain with Lifesteal
- Easy to gear
- Scales well into mid game
Other Strong Campaign Farmers
- Athel
- Elhain
- Bellower (gear-dependent)
- Fellhound (endgame-speed farming)
For beginners, Kael is the safest and most reliable option.
Best Gear for Campaign Farming
Recommended Gear Sets
- Lifesteal – sustain and survivability
- Speed – faster turns and clears
Stat Priority
- Speed
- Crit Rate (70–100%)
- Crit Damage
- ATK% (for damage dealers)
Avoid flat stats whenever possible.
How to Level Champions Efficiently
Campaign farming is primarily used to create food champions.
Efficient Leveling Method
- Use 1 farmer + 3 food champions
- Always farm with full energy usage
- Rank up food champions immediately once max level is reached
Rank-Up Path
- 1★ → 2★ → 3★ → 4★ → 5★ → 6★
Your first goal should always be one level 60 farmer.
Energy Management Tips
Energy is the most valuable resource early on.
Best practices:
- Use energy only on Campaign until your farmer is ready
- Avoid wasting energy on Arena refreshes
- Save energy refills for long farming sessions
Never let energy cap if you plan to play actively.
Campaign Gear: What to Keep and Sell
Keep:
- Boots with Speed main stat
- Gloves with Crit Rate / Crit Damage
- Chest with ATK%, HP%, or DEF%
Sell:
- Flat stat gloves, chest, boots
- Low-rarity gear with bad substats
Selling bad gear is a major source of silver.
Farming Speed Matters More Than Difficulty
A faster clear at slightly lower XP is better than:
- slow clears,
- failed runs,
- inconsistent farming.
Aim for sub-30 second runs on Brutal 12-3 as a long-term goal.
Common Campaign Farming Mistakes
- Farming Nightmare too early
- Using more than one carry champion
- Leveling too many champions at once
- Ignoring Speed stat
- Keeping bad gear “just in case”
These mistakes slow progression significantly.
Daily Campaign Farming Routine
A simple and effective routine:
- Use all daily energy on Brutal Campaign
- Level food champions
- Sell bad gear
- Rank up champions
- Repeat
Consistency is more important than long sessions.
Final Thoughts
Campaign farming is not optional in RAID: Shadow Legends – it is mandatory for efficient progression. Players who optimize Brutal 12-3 farming, build a strong solo farmer and manage energy correctly will reach mid game dramatically faster.
Master Campaign farming early and every other part of RAID becomes easier.
