This article discusses the new content of the Raid Shadow Legends 8.20 update.


Raid Shadow Legends 8.20 update explored

Here are some of the major features of the Raid Shadow Legends 8.20 update:

1) Faction Unity Skills

The update will introduce new Legendary Champions in Raid Shadow Legends that will have a different skill type called Faction Unity Skills. These characters get stronger and stronger based on the number of allies in their team who belong to the same Faction.

Faction Unity Skills can be passive or active. They have three levels that unlock progressively for every appropriate Champion added to the team. Moreover, these skills affect all Champions on the team besides those who belong to the wielder's Faction.

Like other Passive abilities, Faction Unity Skills can be blocked or lose their effects if their wielder is eliminated.

Champions with Faction Unity Skills will be available in numerous in-game activities instead of the usual Summoning Pool event. Moreover, new Champions will be added to the game's roster every month. This will happen until each Faction receives a Champion.


2) Permanent Super Raids

To ensure that players don't spend much time on activities like Gear farming, the 8.20 update has made Super Raids a permanent feature for the following game modes and Dungeons:

  • Doom Tower
  • Faction Wars
  • Dragon’s Lair
  • Ice Golem’s Peak
  • Fire Knight’s Castle
  • Spider’s Den
  • Sand Devil’s Necropolis
  • Phantom Shogun’s Grove

Check the Super Raid box on the Battle Select Screen often, as it'll yield extra rewards after you spend double Keys or Energy for a single run.

Note: The ongoing limited-time Super Raids were terminated on February 6, 2024, at 15:54 UTC. This is a temporary measure to make a few technical tweaks to the server.


3) Fragment Exchange Chest

The Fragment Exchange Chest will be another feature of the Raid Shadow Legends 8.20 update. It will allow players to spend the Champion Fragments of specific Champions.

Here are the rates at which players can swap eligible Champion Fragments with Exchange Points:

  • One Legendary Champion Fragment: One Exchange Point
  • Five Epic Champion Fragments: One Exchange Point

4) Altar of Souls Improvements

The Raid Shadow Legends 8.20 update will improve certain Awakening features in the title. It will increase the probability of summoning Rank Six Souls and Souls for Legendary Champions. Furthermore, it'll boost the Wishlist multiplier from 2x to 8x.
