Short answer: the number of mythical champions sets the price of a RAID: Shadow Legends account. Across 8,370 removed account listings, an account with 4–7 mythicals was listed at about 4 times the price of one with a single mythical, and one with 8–12 at about 7 times. Beyond 8 mythicals each extra one still added about 9%. The legendary count comes second, and only a few champions add value on top of the counts: Nais, Bayek, Wixwell, Lydia and the Turtles lead.
This is METAMMO research based on 8,370 RAID: Shadow Legends account listings on major marketplaces that were removed between April and October 2026. A removed listing is not a confirmed sale: we see that it came down, not whether it was sold or withdrawn, and the price is the last listed price. Every figure is relative: it says how much higher or lower an account is listed, not what it costs. Published 20 October 2026. Accounts for sale are in the RAID catalog.
Factors ranked by effect on price
Each effect is measured with the other factors held equal: a named champion's effect compares accounts with the same number of mythicals and legendaries. The 95% range shows how sure the estimate is.
| Factor | Effect on price | 95% range | Listings in group |
|---|---|---|---|
| 13+ mythicals (vs 1 mythical) | +1,352% (about 14.5x) | +1,086% to +1,677% | 51 |
| 8–12 mythicals (vs 1) | +596% (about 7x) | +534% to +665% | 339 |
| 4–7 mythicals (vs 1) | +306% (about 4x) | +276% to +337% | 863 |
| 2–3 mythicals (vs 1) | +93% | +82% to +105% | 1,121 |
| No mythicals (vs 1) | −39% | −42% to −37% | 3,744 |
| Each extra mythical, accounts with 8+ | +9% | +7% to +12% | 510 |
| 100+ legendaries (vs 15–29) | +331% | +283% to +387% | 1,572 |
| 60–99 legendaries (vs 15–29) | +164% | +139% to +191% | 803 |
| 30–59 legendaries (vs 15–29) | +97% | +85% to +110% | 1,485 |
| A 6-star champion named in the listing | +11% | +2% to +22% | 248 |
Which champions add value beyond the counts
Most famous names do not raise the price once the number of mythicals and legendaries is known: the asking price follows the roster size, and a well-known name is usually already part of it. A handful do carry a premium of their own.
| Champion named in the listing | Effect on price | 95% range | Listings |
|---|---|---|---|
| Nais | +103% | +73% to +139% | 55 |
| Bayek | +34% | +17% to +54% | 88 |
| Wixwell | +33% | +21% to +47% | 209 |
| Lydia | +33% | +14% to +56% | 73 |
| Turtles (TMNT) | +27% | +18% to +37% | 475 |
| Galathir | +23% | +14% to +34% | 382 |
| Hilvi | +22% | +10% to +35% | 191 |
| Siphi | +21% | +7% to +38% | 132 |
| Oz champions (Dorothy, Ozilda and others) | +19% | +4% to +36% | 107 |
| Predator | +16% | +8% to +25% | 324 |
| Ninja | −13% | −18% to −8% | 574 |
| Alaz | −19% | −27% to −10% | 151 |
| Mithrala | −20% | −34% to −3% | 46 |
A negative effect does not mean the champion is bad. It means accounts naming that champion were listed lower than other accounts with the same counts: Ninja is the usual free starter pick, so naming him often marks an early-game account. Marius, Mikage, Lazarius, Gnut, Fabian, Rotos, Duchess Lilitu, Arbiter, Toshiro and Gizmak showed no premium beyond the counts. Our champion list explains what each one does.
Prices fell over the summer
Comparable accounts, with the same counts and named champions, were last listed about 20–25% lower from August to October than in April 2026. The drop built up from May (−8%) through July (−19%) and has held since.
How long RAID listings stay up
Median time from posting to removal: 3.3 days for 2–3 mythicals, 4.9 days for one, 5.5 days for 4–7, 6.5 days for 8–12 and 14.3 days for 13 or more. The biggest accounts stay listed longest. A listing can be removed because the account sold or because the seller took it down, so this is not a time-to-sale.
About half of the removed listings (52%) had at least one mythical; 5% had eight or more.
Methodology
- Sample. 8,370 removed RAID: Shadow Legends account listings that stated the number of mythicals and legendaries, 2 April – 19 October 2026, out of 11,102 cleaned removed listings in the period.
- What counts as a removed listing. A single-account listing that came down and was not relisted by the same seller within ten days. We cannot see whether it was sold, so these are not confirmed sales.
- Removed. Services, rentals, shard-only offers and placeholder prices.
- Parsing. Mythical and legendary counts, account level, 6-star mentions and 38 champion names were read from listing titles in English and Russian.
- Model. Log-linear regression of the last listed price on these factors plus the month the listing was removed, with heteroskedasticity-robust (HC3) standard errors. An effect is exp(coefficient) − 1. The model explains about 74% of the variation in price (R² 0.74).
- Reporting rule. We state an effect as a finding only when p < 0.05 and the group has at least 30 listings.
- Limitations. Prices are the last listed price before removal, not any discount agreed in chat. A champion counts only when the seller named it in the title, so the effect is that of naming it. Gear, masteries and progress were rarely stated and are not in the model. Some removed listings were withdrawn rather than sold, and we cannot tell which. The effects show association, not cause.
What we could not confirm
- Account level: its effect changed sign depending on whether the legendary count was in the model, so it is not reported.
- Titus, Siegfrund, Theodosia, Krixia: point to a premium of 12–19%, but the result did not hold across versions of the model.
- Clan Boss, Hydra, arena and speed: named in too few listings to measure.
What to check when buying a RAID account
- The mythical count, on screen. It is what the price rests on. Ask for a recording of the champion index sorted by rarity, not a number in a title.
- The legendary count. It is the second factor. Check how many are actually built.
- The names that carry a premium. If you are paying for Nais, Bayek, Wixwell, Lydia or the Turtles, see them in the index.
- Gear and masteries. The market prices the roster, not the build, so a geared account is worth checking for yourself.
- The Plarium ID binding. Email change and removal of any old Google or Facebook login. See the RAID buying guide.

Frequently asked questions
What affects the value of a RAID: Shadow Legends account the most?
The number of mythical champions. In 8,370 removed listings, accounts with 4–7 mythicals were listed at about 4 times the price of a single-mythical account and 8–12 at about 7 times. The legendary count comes second.
How much does each extra mythical add to a RAID account?
On accounts that already have eight or more, about 9% per extra mythical. Lower down the steps are bigger: going from one to two or three mythicals nearly doubles the price.
Which RAID champions raise an account's value?
Beyond the counts, Nais (about +100%), Bayek, Wixwell and Lydia (about +33% each), the Turtles (+27%), Galathir, Hilvi, Siphi, the Oz champions and Predator. Marius, Mikage and Lazarius showed no premium of their own.
How long do RAID account listings stay up?
Most are removed within 3–7 days of posting. Listings with 13 or more mythicals stay up about two weeks. A removed listing is not always a sale.
