Yes, it's true that in 99.9% of cases, you should still proceed with the Fusion if you've already pulled the Fusion champion in RAID Shadow Legends. There are numerous reasons for this decision, which we'll explore in detail below to provide a comprehensive understanding of the benefits and advantages of fusing in this popular game.
Faction Guardians
One of the primary reasons to pursue Fusion even after pulling the Fusion champion is the value of Faction Guardians. The majority of RAID players are not high spenders, meaning they won't have a plethora of Legendary champions to fill up their Faction Guardians. If you've managed to pull the Fusion champion by luck, this presents an opportunity for you to obtain a second one through the Fusion schedule. This will enable you to add another pair to your Faction Guardians, granting an additional bonus to all Legendary champions of that specific Faction. As a result, your overall performance in battles and your ability to progress in the game will be enhanced.
Multiple Copies / Builds
Another compelling reason to go ahead with Fusion is the existence of certain champions that benefit from having more than one build. This can be broken down into three categories, each showcasing different ways to optimize the strengths of various champions:
Category 1:
Category 2:
Similar to the first category, these champions are also great when used together. Double Teodor, for instance, can lead to extremely fast dungeon runs. This strategy of combining champions that complement each other can help you maximize efficiency and achieve success in different aspects of the game.
Category 3:
This category includes versatile champions with multiple functions, allowing you to build one champion with a specific equipment set and purpose while building another one differently for a separate area. For example, you might have a Geomancer tailored for Clan Boss with a very precise speed and damage output, and another one built for Hydra with a faster, tankier setup and lower direct damage output to focus on applying HP Burn. By diversifying your champion builds, you can effectively tackle various challenges that the game presents.
Empowerment
Lastly, there's always the option to Empower one of the champions to make them stronger. This is typically done by a minority of RAID players who already have numerous legendary champions. However, as players accumulate more champions over time, even the majority will gradually start empowering their champions.
It's worth noting that while a +1 Empowerment may not seem like a significant improvement, it's still better than the base champion. Moreover, there's always the possibility of further empowering the champion to +2 and beyond in the future.
That said, it's important to emphasize that the vast majority of RAID players should not "waste" legendary champions on empowerment before filling up their Faction Guardians. Prioritizing the completion of Faction Guardians will ensure that your overall roster remains strong and well-rounded, providing a solid foundation for future growth and success in RAID Shadow Legends.
By understanding and implementing these strategies, you can maximize the effectiveness of your champions and optimize your gameplay experience in RAID Shadow Legends. So, don't hesitate to proceed with Fusion even if you've already pulled the Fusion champion; the benefits are well worth the effort.
