RAID Shadow Legend Chaos Theory Guide to Summoning Legendaries

The difficulty of claiming a legendary champion with the super low probablity of 0.5% seems really difficult. With enough Mystery, Ancient, Void and Sarcred shards, you could try to overcome it with some law of attraction strategies. The asian method is the paramount tactics of trying to overcome this adverse law of probability. It isn't foolproof, but anything is better than pulling hairs!

My RAID Shadow Legend Video Recap

RAID Shadow Legend is celebrating their 4th anniversary and they made a video recap of my game progress so far. It has been a long grind and I think my overall stats are not too bad. It has not been easy to push the champion stats to a higher level and whack those dungeon bosses and arena PVP.

I started playing it way back around Dec 2019 and stopped for a year in 2020, and restarted it again in Oct 2021. And have not stopped playing, although I’m reconsidering it. Just don’t want to let go of those high specs and good champions at this moment. As a free to play gamer, the grinding process is really tough. However looking at the resource offering prices, it just doesn’t seem like a good exchange value. Besides, my country's current exchange rate is highly unfavorable for spending. Sorry dear Plarium developers for not putting any coins in your coffers. Thanks for the beautiful graphics and something challenging to do!

The Long Grind of Playing RAID Shadow Legends

It has been a long slow grind playing this RAID Shadow Legends mobile game. I started out in October 2019. Played for a year, and then stopped for almost a year. Then restarted again in September 2021 and had been grinding through it. It has been long and hard with a lot of daily grinding to get to my current high level.

The gacha system of getting good champions is rather frustrating. Most of the time, the random spin wouldn’t get you any good champions at all. Looking at the list of heroes, I gather about 80% of their Epics and probably 50% of their Legendary are pretty much useless. Needless to say, more than 90% of the rares wouldn’t be of much use either.

I got Covid-19, oh, no!

I guess it is a matter of time before we all get infected. Despite all the precautions of sanitizing the stuff we bring outside and wearing face masks when going out. The government has a fine balance between keeping the infection rate low while keeping the businesses open to keep the economy going.

This time round, my entire household was infected, starting with my wife, then spread to me and her mom. Eventually her sister caught it too. I suspected we got it while making a trip to Kuantan during the Chinese New Year. Thus the year of the rabbit made the Covid-19 jump fast and hard!

Installing LXLE Lightweight Linux

I am always on the lookout for lightweight Linux OS distro to install into my ye olde ancient computers. I’m not quite ready to dispose of these old PCs of mine and would like to see if I could squeeze out some useful life from them.

My old Intel D915GEV with the stuck heatsink and CPU was a good candidate to try this LXLE Linux. According to their website, this distro has light resource usage, though it was filled choc full of apps. Their philosophy was, a lightweight linux did not mean a stripdown version devoid of apps, but rather it reduced the number of apps running in the background using up resources.
