This December, Raid Shadow Legends drops its most ambitious update yet—Version 11.00.0, headlined by the groundbreaking Grim Forest game mode. Designed for players Level 55+, this monthly rotating challenge blends exploration, strategy, and epic boss battles, paired with quality-of-life tweaks and unmissable rewards. It’s not just an update; it’s a new chapter for veterans and newcomers alike.
At its core, Grim Forest redefines endgame exploration. Unlike Doom Tower or Cursed City, its interconnected map shifts every rotation, keeping even seasoned players on their toes. Normal and Hard difficulties feature unique layouts, both shrouded in fog—clear stages to reveal paths, but choose wisely: each move costs Distorted Energy (30 daily, no carryover). Empty stages may hide ambushes or chests, while Grim Charms (15 total) unlock top-tier Treasure Hunt Chests.
Squad building is make-or-break. Lock in two Team Decks per difficulty (10 champs for Normal, 20 for Hard) at the start—no changes without a rare in-game item. Battles pull random champs from your decks; use 2 daily Redraw Tokens (up to 4 via Altars) to reshuffle. Prioritize versatile lineups: mix tanks, healers, and single-target damage dealers to handle waves, mini-bosses, and mimic-guarded Grim Chests.
The mode’s heart lies in its boss fights. Gather 3 Grim Crowns to face final boss Leshun the Entangled One—but don’t rush. Hunt down his four minions (e.g., Isheth the Crimson Siren) first; defeat them, and they won’t join the final battle. Also, seek Phrygius the Trovemaster: deal maximum damage before he flees to earn Grim Gold and Coins, usable at the Vendor for Curios or Mercurial Gear.
Progression hinges on two systems: Squad Progress Level and Curios. Victory and chests grant XP, unlocking Trait Cards that boost stats in Grim Forest. Curios—team-wide buffs similar to Relics—upgrade via duplicates or coins, with slots expanded by Curio Altars. Both reset monthly, so optimize early for each difficulty.
Rewards make the grind worthwhile. Grim Forest exclusive Mercurial Gear grants Total Guard (blocks damage/negatives), while Bloodbriars craft new Relics. Most coveted is Mythical Champion Anaxia the Reborn—collect fragments to summon her. Top the rankings for a unique Avatar Frame and badges, plus Cursed Remnants and Gemstones.
QoL tweaks sweeten the deal: 400 extra storage slots for artifacts/accessories, Champion Filters in Team Setup, and auto-closing maintenance pop-ups. And for the holidays, your Bastion gets festive winter decor—perfect for celebrating wins.
Grim Forest isn’t just a mode; it’s a strategic playground. Master its rotating maps, build unbeatable squads, and claim rewards you can’t get anywhere else. Update 11.00.0 cements Raid Shadow Legends’s status as a top RPG—don’t miss out.
