RAID Beginner Guide for Promo Code Rewards

A first-week checklist for using code rewards without wasting scarce starter resources.

How promo code rewards fit into week one

A RAID beginner searching for promo code rewards usually wants more than a code name. The practical question is how to use energy, silver, brews, XP boosts, and starter champions without slowing early campaign progress. Treat code rewards as a launch boost, not as a complete account plan.

Day 0 to 1

Confirm whether your account qualifies for a new-player code before redeeming any starter option. If the account is still inside the new-player window, compare the starter-code reward before testing general-use RAID promo codes.

Day 1 to 3

Use Energy to push campaign progress, save rare books until you understand champion value, and avoid spending gems casually. Silver and XP rewards are strongest when concentrated on a small group instead of spread across every early champion.

Day 1 to 7

Claim Inbox rewards before they expire. Keep resources focused on one campaign farmer and a small support group. If a code gives a time-limited XP boost, start a session where you can actually use the boost instead of claiming it before logging out.

Checklist

Common beginner mistakes

New accounts often waste code value by redeeming a starter code after the account-age window, choosing a resource bundle before comparing champion options, or spending rewards on too many champions at once. A code can be working and still be a poor choice if it does not fit the first-week plan.
