A shard starter account is a fresh RAID: Shadow Legends account that has never had its summons opened. Instead of buying someone else's roster, you get the shards themselves — Ancient, Void, Sacred and Primal — plus silver, gems and energy, and you pull the champions yourself. Whatever drops is yours, on an account nobody has played before you.
Shard accounts start from $5.25. Besides the $9.00 starter there are 2 veteran accounts bought from stock: 350+ days, 4-6 Primal, 3 Sacred, 15-17 Void and 75-85 Ancient Shards with 9 Legendary champions for $5.25 and 380+ days, 5-6 Primal, 3 Sacred, 16-17 Void and 80-90 Ancient Shards with 10 Legendary champions for $6.30. Those are Plarium ID accounts with full access — you change the email and password to your own — and the shard counts are the ranges the supplier reports for each account.
That is why it costs a fraction of a built account: you are paying for the chance, not for the result. Players who want a specific champion usually take a starter and summon for it; players who want a guaranteed roster take a pumped account instead, where the champions are already there and visible in the listing.
Delivery is automatic — credentials arrive right after payment, and you rebind the account to your own email immediately. Every starter is checked before listing and covered by the same lifetime warranty as the rest of the catalog. Starter accounts are also available for Pokémon GO and Watcher of Realms. If anything is unclear, delivery and account-safety questions are answered in the FAQ.
What exactly do I get for $9.00?
An account with unopened summons: 170 Ancient, 35 Void, 25 Primal and 4 Sacred Shards, plus 14 Legendary champions that are already on the account - Ezio Auditore, Xenomorph, Alice the Wanderer, Sun Wukong, Scyl of the Drakes and others. Nothing has been summoned, so every pull is yours.
Is there a cheaper shard account than the $9.00 starter?
Yes - a veteran account played for 350+ days for $5.25. It comes with 4-6 Primal, 3 Sacred, 15-17 Void and 75-85 Ancient Shards still unopened, plus 9 Legendary champions already on the roster. It is a Plarium ID account with full access, so you change the email and password to your own. The shard counts are ranges reported by the supplier, not minimums we round up.
Are the summon odds different on a purchased account?
No. Drop rates are set by the game and identical on every account. You get the same published odds you would have earning the shards yourself.
Can I see what I pulled before buying?
No - the shards are unopened when the account is handed over. Nobody knows what is inside them, including us. That is the whole point of a starter: you are buying the chance, which is why it costs a fraction of a built roster.
How fast is delivery?
Credentials appear on your order page right after payment and are emailed to you as a copy. There is no manual step and no waiting for a seller.
Can I change the account email to my own?
Yes. You receive the registration email details, register that inbox, then change the password and the email to your own. That is what makes the account permanently yours, and the instructions on the order page walk through it in order.
