How to Prepare for Plarium Anniversary Week in Raid: Shadow Legends

Plarium anniversary week is shaping up to be one of the most valuable calendar windows of the year, especially for players who plan their resources instead of spending them reactively. The headline attractions are a first-time 5x Speed artifact farming event and a 2x Primal shard event, both beginning on Tuesday, June 2. For most accounts, that combination makes this week far more important than a normal fusion or dungeon rotation.

The 5x Speed farming bonus is the real standout. Speed remains the most universal stat in Raid: Shadow Legends, and it matters everywhere: Arena, Hydra, Clan Boss tuning, wave control, and dungeon optimization. A boosted Speed event is not just for endgame players chasing perfection. Early and midgame accounts benefit even more, because one strong Speed set can unlock turn order advantages that carry progression across the entire account. If you have energy saved, this is the time to convert it into long-term value.

The best way to approach the event is to farm Dragon first if your account still needs broad-use Speed pieces. Dragon is the most efficient source of Speed sets because it also drops Lifesteal, Accuracy, and resistance-leaning utility gear. Players who are already well geared can pivot to artifact quality standards: prioritize boots with Speed main stat, then look for double and triple Speed rolls on substats. Do not chase low-roll pieces just because the event is active; inventory space and silver are both premium resources.

The 2x Primal event is a different kind of temptation. Primal shards are among the rarest summon currencies in the game, so a boosted rate window only matters if your account has a real reason to pull. Free-to-play players should be disciplined here. If you are not targeting a specific narrow pool of high-end outcomes, holding shards is usually better than gambling for short-term excitement. Paid players get the most leverage if they pair pulls with an event, a guaranteed champion, or a fusion path where summon progress has multiple rewards.

The smartest anniversary-week strategy is to choose one primary goal. If your roster is thin, use the 5x Speed event to improve account-wide speed thresholds. If your core gear is already solid, decide whether the Primal window meaningfully advances your late-game roster or whether the better value is patience. Anniversary events reward preparation, not impulse.

In short: farm Speed hard, pull Primal only with a plan, and treat this week as a resource efficiency test. The accounts that profit most will be the ones that enter with energy, silver, and shard discipline already in place.
