Iron Soul Dungeon 2x Event Schedule

The Iron Soul Dungeon 2x event in Raid: Shadow Legends runs on a recurring, roughly monthly schedule, typically starting on a Friday and lasting for 48 hours. You can find the exact current dates in the in-game news tab or on the official Plarium social media channels, as the schedule is not fixed to specific calendar days.

Formula

The calculator above estimates when the next Iron Soul Dungeon 2x event might start, based on the average gap between events. The formula is:

Estimated days until next event = Days since last event − (Event duration / 24)

Where:

• Days since last event – the number of full days that have passed since the last 2x event ended (enter this in days).
• Event duration – the length of the event in hours (typically 48, but it can be 24 or 72 on special occasions).

The result is a rough estimate, not a guarantee. Plarium does not publish a fixed annual calendar, so the actual interval can vary by a few days due to holidays, game updates, or special crossover events.

Worked Example

Suppose the last Iron Soul Dungeon 2x event ended 30 days ago, and the event lasted the usual 48 hours. Using the defaults:

1. Divide the event duration by 24 to convert hours to days: 48 / 24 = 2 days.
2. Subtract that from the days since the last event: 30 − 2 = 28 days.

The calculator shows 28 days as the estimated time until the next event. That matches the typical 4-week cycle most players observe.

What Is the Iron Soul Dungeon?

The Iron Soul Dungeon is one of the three “Soul” dungeons in Raid: Shadow Legends, unlocked after you reach account level 42. It drops Soulstones and Soul Essence, which are used to awaken champions. The dungeon has 15 stages, with higher stages giving better rewards. Stage 15 is the most efficient for farming because it has the highest drop rate for superior Soul Essence and the largest Soulstones.

The 2x event doubles the drop rate of Soulstones from the dungeon. That means you get roughly twice as many Soulstones per run as you would outside the event. It does not double the amount of Soul Essence, nor does it improve the quality of the Soulstones themselves – you still get the same mix of lesser, greater, and superior stones, just more of them.

How the 2x Event Works

During the event, every run of the Iron Soul Dungeon has a doubled chance to drop a Soulstone. The exact drop rates are not published by Plarium, but community data collection over many runs suggests that outside the event, stage 15 drops a Soulstone in roughly 30–40% of runs. During the 2x event, that figure roughly doubles to 60–80%.

The event applies to all stages, but the reward table scales with stage. Running stage 15 is almost always the best use of energy during the event because the higher drop rate compounds with the better base rewards. If you cannot clear stage 15, run the highest stage you can consistently beat – the difference in rewards between stage 13 and 15 is noticeable but not so large that stage 13 is a waste.

How to Prepare for the Event

Because the event is announced only a few days in advance, preparation is key. Here is what most players do:

• Save energy refills – stock up on energy potions and gems, because you will burn through a lot in 48 hours.
• Build a fast farming team – a team that can clear stage 15 in under 2 minutes is ideal. Speed is more important than survivability, as long as you win 100% of the time.
• Check your champion roster – the Iron Soul Dungeon has a magic affinity boss, so bring spirit champions to avoid weak hits.
• Decide your target – do you need Soulstones for a specific champion, or do you want to stockpile for future awakening? Knowing this stops you from over-farming.

Common Mistakes Players Make

One of the most common mistakes is confusing the 2x event with a “double rewards” event. The 2x event only doubles the chance of a Soulstone dropping – it does not double the number of Soulstones per run, nor does it double Soul Essence. If you see a message that says “2x Soulstones,” that is the drop rate. If it says “2x rewards,” that is a different, rarer event that doubles all drops.

Another mistake is spending gems on energy refills during the event without first checking whether you have enough time to use them. A single energy refill gives 130 energy, and stage 15 costs 16 energy per run. That is roughly 8 runs per refill. If you only have an hour left, you might not be able to use all the energy you bought. Plan your gem spending based on how much time you can actually play.

Comparing Iron Soul to Other Dungeons

The Iron Soul Dungeon is one of three soul dungeons, alongside the Magma Soul Dungeon (force affinity) and the Void Soul Dungeon (void affinity). All three follow the same 2x event pattern, but they are never run at the same time. Plarium typically rotates them: one week is Iron Soul 2x, the next week is Magma Soul 2x, then Void Soul 2x, and then a break.

Compared to the classic artifact dungeons (Dragon, Spider, etc.), the soul dungeons have a much narrower reward pool – you only get Soulstones and Soul Essence, no gear. That makes them less attractive for general progression, but essential for awakening. If you are at the stage where you need to awaken champions for Clan Boss or Arena, the 2x event is the best time to farm.

Costs and Energy Efficiency

Farming the Iron Soul Dungeon during a 2x event costs the same energy as normal – there is no discount. Stage 15 costs 16 energy per run. Over a 48-hour event, if you play for 3 hours per day and use all your natural energy plus a few refills, you might do 200–300 runs. That translates to roughly 3,200–4,800 energy, which is about 25–37 energy refills (each refill gives 130 energy).

In terms of gem cost, a full energy refill costs 40 gems, so 30 refills would cost 1,200 gems. That is a significant investment, so it is worth waiting for the event if you are planning to farm soulstones anyway. Outside the event, the drop rate is half, so you would need twice as many runs to get the same number of Soulstones – making the 2x event effectively a 50% discount on the gem cost per Soulstone.

Safety and Fair Play

There is no safety risk in participating in the event, but there is a risk of account penalties if you use third-party automation tools to farm while you are away. Plarium’s terms of service prohibit macros, bots, and any form of auto-clicker. Accounts caught using such tools can be suspended or banned. The safest way to farm is to play manually or use the in-game auto-battle feature, which is allowed and does not require any external software.

Also, be aware that the event timer is displayed in your local time zone, but the event itself starts and ends at the same moment globally. If you are traveling or in a different time zone, double-check the countdown in the game rather than relying on a friend’s time zone.

Frequently Asked Questions

When is the next Iron Soul Dungeon 2x event?

Plarium does not publish a fixed schedule, but the pattern is roughly every 4–5 weeks. The most reliable way to know is to check the in-game news tab, which usually announces the event 2–3 days in advance. You can also follow the official Raid: Shadow Legends Twitter or Facebook page, where they post the schedule.

Does the 2x event double all drops or just Soulstones?

It only doubles the chance of getting a Soulstone. The amount of Soul Essence you get per run is unchanged. Some special events (like “2x Rewards”) double everything, but those are rare and separate from the standard 2x Soulstone event.

Is it worth farming stage 10 instead of stage 15 during the event?

No, if you can clear stage 15, it is always better. Stage 15 has a higher base drop rate and better Soulstone quality. The difference is not huge, but over 300 runs, stage 15 will give you noticeably more superior Soulstones and greater Soul Essence. Only drop to a lower stage if you cannot win 100% of the time on stage 15.

How many Soulstones can I expect from 100 runs during the event?

Based on community data, the drop rate on stage 15 during a 2x event is roughly 60–80%. So from 100 runs, you can expect 60–80 Soulstones. The exact number varies due to RNG, but that is a reasonable planning figure. Outside the event, the same 100 runs would give only 30–40.

Can I get 6-star Soulstones from the Iron Soul Dungeon?

Yes, but only from Superior Soulstones, which drop from stage 15. The chance of a Superior Soulstone itself is low (around 5–10%), and the chance of it being a 6-star is even lower. The 2x event does not increase the quality of the Soulstone, only the number of Soulstones you get, so your odds of a 6-star are still very low.
