On the third of August, 2023, RAID: Shadow Legends received update 7.40. The headline changes are Hydra Clash, a weekly clan competition, Demon Lord Quick Battle, new Clan vs Clan objectives and a rebalance of the Protection and Stone Skin sets.
What's new
- Hydra Clash — a weekly competition between five clans; the top three receive bonus chests.
- Demon Lord Quick Battle — a faster way to handle daily Demon Lord battles.
- New Clan vs Clan objectives — extra goals for clan activity.
- Protection and Stone Skin set rebalance — changes to how these sets work.
What it means for players
Hydra Clash gives clans another reason to coordinate: five clans compete through the week, and the top three earn bonus chests. For active clans, that means more planning around attempts, damage and helping members who are still building Hydra teams. The competition is aimed at clans that already play Hydra or are just starting to learn it, so beginners can use it as a reason to understand the mode even if their clan is not chasing the top spots.
Demon Lord Quick Battle saves time for players who run daily boss attacks, especially those with busy schedules or multiple accounts. New Clan vs Clan objectives give clans more to work toward together, while the Protection and Stone Skin rebalance matters most to PvP players and anyone using defensive setups. If you rely on those sets, check how the changes affect your champions before rebuilding — the meta may shift. Overall, update 7.40 leans toward clan activity and daily convenience rather than a single headline champion.
