To get chickens in Raid Shadow Legends, participate in events, complete quests, and open mystery shards for chances to acquire them as rewards.
Chickens in Raid Shadow Legends are essential for ranking up your champions quickly. Unlike regular champions used as food, chickens come pre-leveled to specific ranks (2★-5★), saving you valuable time and resources. This guide covers all methods to obtain chickens and optimize your champion progression.
What Are Chickens in Raid Shadow Legends?
Chickens serve two purposes in Raid:
- Rank-Up Material: Used to upgrade your main champions’ star levels
- XP Boost: Replace the need to level food champions from scratch
Unlike rank chickens that require leveling, these instant chickens are rare but powerful resources.
Primary Ways to Get Chickens
1. Events and Tournaments
Plarium frequently offers chickens as rewards for:
- Champion training events
- Dungeon diver tournaments
- Faction wars competitions
2. Clan Shop and 3v3 Bazaar
Endgame players can acquire chickens through:
- Gold bars (3v3 Arena)
- Clan gold (Clan vs Clan)
3. Special Offers
Occasional limited-time bundles may contain chickens, though these typically require real money.
Alternative Methods Without Chickens
Since chickens are rare, most players rely on food champions. Here’s the most efficient system:
| Target Rank | Food Required | Best Farming Method |
|---|---|---|
| 3★ | 2x 2★ champions | Campaign stage 6 (Normal) |
| 4★ | 3x 3★ champions | Campaign stage 12-3 (Brutal) |
| 5★ | 4x 4★ champions | Dragon 20 (with carry champion) |
| 6★ | 5x 5★ champions | Mix of campaign and dungeon farming |
XP Farming Strategies
Campaign Farming
The most efficient XP source is Brutal 12-3. Key points:
- Gives best energy-to-XP ratio
- Provides good silver from shields
- Requires a strong campaign farmer
Dungeon Farming
Advanced players can farm Dragon 20 or Ice Golem 20 with:
- 1 carry champion
- 4 food champions
This method is slower for XP but provides gear simultaneously.
Optimizing Your Chicken Usage
Follow these tips to maximize chicken value:
- Save 5★ chickens for legendary champions

- Combine chickens with training events for bonus rewards
Common Player Mistakes
