You open Demacia Rising to place one more building, start one more upgrade, or push the story forward, and the game stops you with the same message. You need more Silver Shields. In this guide, we explain how to get more Silver Shields in LoL Demacia Rising!

What are Silver Shields in Demacia Rising?

Silver Shields are a special currency tied to the Demacia Rising metagame in the League of Legends client. You use Silver Shields to:

• Build and upgrade settlements
• Unlock upgrades in the research tree
• Pay the 10 Silver Shields cost each time you end a turn (this saves your progress and starts the next turn)

In simple terms, Silver Shields act as your “time and progress” fuel. If you run out, you cannot take turns at the pace you want, and your city growth slows down.

How to get more Silver Shields

Most players earn Silver Shields through objectives that track normal gameplay in League of Legends and Teamfight Tactics (TFT). You do not need a special mode. You just need to play and complete the objectives consistently.

Daily objective

• Win 1 game or play 2 games (LoL or TFT): 300 Silver Shields

This daily objective gives you the most consistent income. If you only do one thing each day, do this.

Weekly objectives

These objectives reward you for total games played during the week:

• Play 3 games (LoL or TFT): 1,000 Silver Shields
• Play 5 games (LoL or TFT): 1,250 Silver Shields
• Play 7 games (LoL or TFT): 1,500 Silver Shields

These stack well with your daily objective. If you play a few sessions per week, you can hit the higher weekly tiers without forcing extra games.

Recurring objective

• Play 60 minutes (LoL or TFT): 150 Silver Shields

This reward can increase if you own the season pass (more on that below)

This objective matters because it repeats. It also helps on weeks when you cannot commit to many matches. You can still gain Shields through playtime.

One-time objective

• Play 1 TFT game: 500 Silver Shields

This is a strong early push if you have not completed it yet. It also pairs well with your daily and weekly progress.

Use a simple plan that fits most schedules:

1. Finish the daily objective on 4–5 days per week
2. Hit at least the 5-game weekly tier if you can
3. Let the recurring 60-minute objective fill the gaps during longer sessions

This approach keeps your Silver Shields stable and reduces the “stuck on turn cost” problem.

Use the For Demacia Premium Pass to boost Silver Shield income

If you play often, the For Demacia: Act I Premium Pass improves your Silver Shield flow in two ways:

• It gives a one-time Silver Shield bonus
• It increases the Silver Shields you earn from the recurring 60-minute objective

This matters most for players who log in frequently. The recurring objective becomes a better long-term farm, so your playtime pays more.

Get bonus Silver Shields from For Demacia skins

Demacia Rising also offers a one-time Silver Shield reward when you play your first game using certain For Demacia season skins. The reward depends on skin rarity:

• Epic skins: 3,000 Silver Shields
• Legendary skin: 5,000 Silver Shields
• Exalted skin: 10,000 Silver Shields

This option works best as a boost, not as your main plan. You still need objectives for steady progress, but these bonuses can cover multiple upgrades and several turns.

Best ways to farm Silver Shields in Demacia Rising

Demacia Rising is a metagame, so the capabilities are pretty limited. However, you can focus on certain ways to make more silver Shields within the League of Legends clients, and we have two of those listed for you below:

Prioritize higher-value targets when the metagame offers them

When Demacia Rising opens tougher threats or higher-tier encounters, treat them as your “premium time” content. Harder content usually takes more focus, so you should only run it when it supports your overall plan for the day.

Use a simple rule: do the hard fights after you lock in your daily Silver Shields. This protects your baseline progress even if you lose time or fail an attempt.

Watch for limited-time events and boss-style encounters

When the metagame runs special encounters, you can often finish progress faster than normal pacing. These moments tend to reward active play and smart preparation.

Use this checklist before you start:

• Enter with your best available setup
• Avoid testing new builds during your farming run
• Focus on quick, repeatable clears over risky attempts
