Starting RAID: Shadow Legends without understanding how New Player promo codes work can make you miss out on a free Legendary or Epic Champion. The 72-hour eligibility window starts when you register your account, so redeem your chosen RAID New Player code as early as possible.
New Player codes are made specifically for fresh accounts. Each code gives you a specific Champion and a resource bundle, and since you can only redeem one per account, picking the right one matters.
This article explains which New Player codes are currently active, what each code gives you, how to choose the best New Player code for Raid Shadow Legends for a fresh roster, and how the promo code and starter link can work together to give a new account the strongest possible start.
Raid Shadow Legends New Player Promo Codes for a Fresh RAID Account
New Player eligibility depends on account age. Champion level, Campaign progress, and hours played do not affect eligibility.
Two rules control the system:
- The New Player window lasts 72 hours from account registration. Each account can redeem only one New Player promo code, and that’s a permanent choice.
- New Player codes are separate from All Player codes, which any account can redeem subject to RAID’s standard limit of one promo code every 24 hours.
Here are some current raid starter codes available right now, verified from the Moduletd New Player section:
| Code | Champion / Rewards | Best For |
| STAGSLAYER | Stag Knight (Epic) · 1 Epic Skill Tome · 15 Spirit Brews · 150,000 Silver · 15 Greater Arcane Potions | Accounts that need a reliable Decrease Defense debuffer for early Dragon and Dungeon progression |
| BACK2SCHOOL | Kallia (Epic) · 1 Epic Skill Tome · 15 Force Brews · 200,000 Silver | Accounts building around Force affinity that need a frontline attacker with strong AoE damage output |
| WEHARTU | Folan Silverheart (Legendary) · 15 Spirit Brews · 15 Greater Spirit Potions · 300,000 Silver | Accounts starting with a Magic or Force starter that need Spirit affinity coverage and a Legendary carry |
| PHEMO | Phemo the Shepherd (Legendary) · 15 Magic Brews · 15 Greater Magic Potions · 300,000 Silver | Accounts that want a Legendary support with Magic affinity utility across Dungeons and Clan Boss |
| HEARTOFCOLD | Coldheart (Rare) · 15 Void Brews · 15 Greater Void Potions · 300,000 Silver | Accounts that need a Void affinity carry capable of contributing to Fire Knight and Spider from week one |
These options cover different early-game needs, so the best choice depends on the Champion and resources your starting roster needs most.
How to Choose the Right New Player Code for Your Fresh Account
The best RAID Shadow Legends beginner code fills the biggest gap in your fresh account during the first week. The Champion’s name or rarity alone should not decide your choice.
Start With the Champion, Not Just Its Rarity
Every RAID starter Champion has a specific role and affinity. Kael uses Poison in Magic affinity. Elhain focuses on wave damage in Magic. Athel brings debuffs in Magic. Galek deals AoE damage in Force.
A promo Champion with a different role or affinity gives your starting roster more flexibility, especially when your starter already covers a similar job. Ask yourself whether the Champion can carry Campaign stages on Auto, cover an affinity your starter does not have, or contribute to Dragon 10 or Spider 8 during the first week.
Look at the Rewards That Come With Each Code
Silver disappears quickly because gear upgrades, Champion ranking, and Potion purchases all require it. Spirit Brews, Force Brews, and Magic Brews level the promo Champion fast enough to contribute before the first Campaign walls hit. Greater Potions push Champions through affinity-specific Dungeon stages.
Epic Skill Tomes are especially valuable because they are difficult to get early. Both STAGSLAYER and BACK2SCHOOL include one, making either worth serious consideration on that alone.
HEARTOFCOLD is also worth highlighting. Coldheart is a Rare Champion, but her Void affinity means she never suffers elemental disadvantage in any Dungeon. Her Turn Meter reduction makes her one of the most effective Fire Knight farmers a fresh account can access, a Dungeon that stops many new rosters without the right Champion in place.
Match the Code to the Team You Want to Build
If you start with Kael, you already have a Magic Poison dealer. A support or debuffer in a different affinity adds more value than another Magic attacker doing similar work; WEHARTU and STAGSLAYER both fill that gap. If your starter is Galek, PHEMO or HEARTOFCOLD bring Magic and Void coverage the Force-affinity roster immediately lacks.
For a deeper look at how each of these Champions performs in early-game content and which fits your starter best, HellHades’ Champion Tier List breaks down exactly where each Champion contributes across Campaign, Dungeons, and Clan Boss.
Moduletd lets you compare every current Champion option alongside its resource bundle before making a permanent choice.
How to Redeem a New Player Promo Code on a Fresh Account
Before opening the Promo Code screen, one important detail, entering three invalid codes in a row triggers a temporary lock that blocks redemptions for roughly one hour. Enter your New Player code first, before testing anything else.
Check Your 72-Hour Eligibility Before Redeeming
Check the exact time your account was registered before entering any code. Eligibility lasts for 72 hours from that moment. If you registered on Thursday at 9pm, the window closes Saturday at 9pm. Confirm both the timestamp and your Champion choice before submitting, because once confirmed, neither can change.
Redeem the Code on Your Device
PC and Android:
- Launch RAID and enter the Bastion.
- Open the left-side menu.
- Select Promo Codes.
- Paste the code directly into the input field.
- Select Confirm; rewards arrive in the Inbox immediately.
iPhone and iPad: iOS removes the Promo Codes option from the in-game menu. Use the official Plarium redemption page instead, log in with your Plarium account, enter the code, and collect from the in-game Inbox after confirming.
Always paste the code rather than typing it manually. One wrong character counts as a failed attempt toward the three-attempt lock.
Check Your Inbox for the Rewards
Open the Inbox from the Bastion immediately after redemption and collect every reward package. The Champion appears in the Champion Collection tab once claimed. Inbox messages expire after 7 days; once that message is gone, the rewards cannot be recovered.
The Difference Between Promo Code vs Promotional Starter Link:
The promo code and starter link work through separate systems. Using both is what gives a fresh account three planned Champions instead of one.
What You Get From a New Player Promo Code
The promo code gives you one Champion and the resource bundle attached to that specific code, entered through the Promo Code screen in the Bastion after the account exists. One redemption per account, permanent from the moment of confirmation.
What a Promotional Starter Link Does
The starter link works before you create the account. Through the Moduletd generator, you select two Champions; one arrives at Level 1, the second at Level 25, both built directly into the registration link itself. These Champions come through a completely separate system from the in-game Promo Code screen. Plarium Play must not already be installed on the device, or the starter link bonuses will not apply.
How to Build a Strong Three-Champion Starting Combination
With both systems active, a fresh account launches with three planned Champions before pulling a single shard. A strong combination covers at least two different affinities, includes a Champion capable of farming Campaign on Auto, and gives each pick a distinct role so no two Champions compete for the same roster slot.
Check the Current Options Before You Create Your Account
The correct sequence: compare all three Champion picks → generate the starter link → register through that link → enter the promo code inside the game after registration.
Creating the account before generating the starter link loses those two starter Champions permanently; they cannot be applied to an account that already exists.

New Player Promo Code Mistakes That Can Cost You Your Best Start
Most mistakes happen before the Promo Code screen; poor timing and rushed choices reduce the value of starting rewards before redemption even begins.
Redeeming the First Code You Find
Codes from outdated or unverified sources can trigger the three-attempt lock during the only window the New Player code is still valid. Use a current verified list and enter the New Player code before anything else.
Waiting Too Long to Make Your Choice
The 72-hour window runs through the tutorial, early Campaign, and every session regardless of activity. Make the code decision on registration day; once that window closes, it does not reopen.
Assuming Every Low-Level Account Is a New Player Account
A Level 5 account that is 80 hours old has no access to New Player codes. A Level 25 account that is 48 hours old does. Account age is the only factor; check the registration timestamp, not the Champion level or Campaign stage.
Confusing New Player and All Player Codes
All Player codes carry a one-per-24-hours limit with no account-age restriction. New Player codes follow the 72-hour eligibility window with no 24-hour wait between attempts. Treating a New Player code like something redeemable at any point is exactly how that window closes without being used.
Choosing a Champion Without Considering Your Starting Team
A Champion built for high Arena tiers or late Doom Tower stages needs 6-star gear, completed Masteries, and team synergy a fresh account cannot build for weeks. Pick the promo Champion based on what it contributes right now, not on its endgame reputation.
Final Takeaway
The strongest RAID starting position begins before the account even exists. Compare the Champion options, generate the starter link, and go into account creation with all three picks already decided; that gives a fresh roster a clear foundation from day one.
Frequently Asked Questions About RAID New Player Promo Codes
Can I use a New Player promo code if I created my account yesterday?
Yes, as long as the account is still within 72 hours of the registration timestamp.
Can I use two New Player promo codes on one account?
No, one per account, and that selection is final.
Which New Player code should I choose?
Pick the Champion that covers the affinity or role gap your starter leaves open, then look at the resource bundle attached to the code.
Can I still use All Player codes after redeeming a New Player code?
Yes, both systems are independent, so all Player codes remain available on the standard 24-hour cycle.
Are promo codes and starter links the same thing?
No. The promo code enters the game after registration and delivers one Champion. The starter link works before registration and delivers two Champions through the account creation process itself.
