How to Redeem RAID: Shadow Legends Promo Codes (and Spot Fake Ones)

Step-by-step instructions for redeeming RAID promo codes, where legitimate codes come from, what 'new player' codes are and how to avoid code scams.

RAID promo code redemption window

Promo codes are a free way to grab extra resources in RAID – energy, silver, XP boosts, shards and sometimes even champions. Redeeming them takes a minute. The hard part is telling real codes from fake ones.

How to redeem a code

  1. Open RAID and go to the main screen.
  2. Open the game menu and find the Promo Codes section. (Its exact place in the menu can move between updates.)
  3. Enter the code exactly as written – codes are usually case-sensitive.
  4. Confirm. Rewards are delivered to your account, usually through your inbox.

If the code doesn’t work, check for typos first. If it still fails, it has likely expired or is limited to certain accounts.

Types of codes

TypeWho can use it
General codesAny player, until they expire
New player codesOnly accounts below a certain level or age
Creator / partner codesShared by official partners; usually aimed at new players
Event codesReleased during anniversaries, collaborations and livestreams

New player codes are why some codes “don’t work” for veterans – it’s not a bug, they’re simply limited to newer accounts.

Where legitimate codes come from

  • Official RAID social media and community channels.
  • Official livestreams and events.
  • Content creators partnered with the game.
  • In-game announcements and the inbox.

We don’t publish code lists we can’t verify. Codes change frequently, and expired lists are one of the most common sources of frustration.

Red flags

Close the page if a “code” site:

  • Asks for your login, password or email.
  • Asks you to download an app or complete surveys for “verification”.
  • Promises unlimited gems or legendaries.
  • Calls itself a generator.

Real codes are only entered inside the game itself, and they give fixed, modest rewards.

Getting the most from code rewards

  • Save XP boosts for long campaign farming sessions – see our campaign farming guide.
  • Hold shards from codes for summon events – see our shards guide.
  • Use energy rewards during tournaments for extra points.

A few minutes spent redeeming codes each month adds up to meaningful free resources – just make sure they come from a trustworthy source.
