Hi everyone! Since a lot of people have been asking me about how to do the XML hack, I decided to make a tutorial explaining all of the steps!
First of all, I don’t know who needs to hear this, but if you have an Apple device, you CANNOT do this. You need to have an Android device.
What this hack includes:
Unlimited Energy
Unlimited Coins
Unlimited Gems (These gems are not verified, meaning you cannot use them to purchase raid items. But you can use them for anything else, including weapons, speed ups and upgrades)
Unlimited forge material for enchanting
The Monk Set
The Sentinels Set
A bunch more sets that I forgot the name of
And last but not least, this patch allows you to access Raids!
Here’s all the files you’ll need:
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1q5UF4-nlwwrOsLJxykI9jFj6I5qigsJQ?usp=sharing
(click on the link above and download both the shadow-fight-2-2-8-0.apk and the users.xml file)
Here’s the VirusTotal scan of the apk file if you have any doubts. This file is basically just an older version of Shadow Fight 2:

So, if you downloaded these files, that means you’re ready!
Step 1: Delete the current Shadow Fight 2 game that is installed on your device. (if there is any, Shades or other Shadow Fight games can stay)
Before deleting, I strongly recommend you boot up Shadow Fight 2, go to Settings > Game Progress and click Save, this will make it so that if you somehow mess up the hack, you can always get your current savefile back.
Step 2: Disable Internet connection, both Wi-fi and Celluar.
Step 3: Now, open the “My Files” app on your device. (The apps name may differ from device to device but it should be something along these lines)
**Step 4:**Locate the Downloads folder. After that, locate and Install the APK file I provided, shadow-fight-2-2-8-0.apk.
Step 5: Launch the game and play through the tutorial until you get to the first Kenji fight. When you do, exit the game.
Step 6: Go to the Downloads folder again and copy the users.xml file I’ve provided and paste it over here: Android>data>com.nekki.shadowfight>files>userdata. It will ask you something along the lines of “This file already exists, do you want to overwrite it?” click yes. After you do this, don’t forget to delete users_backup.xml if it exists. If it does not, it’s all good.
If you have a Samsung device, chances are the OS will not let you edit these files. To get around this, I connected my phone to my PC using a USB to Type-C cable, and did all the file editing from there.
Step 7: Enable your Internet (Wi-fi or Celluar doesn’t matter) and launch the game. After launching the game, you will be prompted to update the game through Google Play. Start the update.
Step 8: Navigate over to Android>data>com.nekki.shadowfight>files>userdata again and this time, delete the file called users.xml.hash. After you delete this file, rename the users_backup.xml.hash file to users.xml.hash.
That’s it! You’re done. Now, if your update is still going, you can wait for it to finish and boot up the game. You will be prompted to download a bunch of files in game, simply wait for these to download and when it’s done, you will have access to unlimited Gems&Coins, a bunch of sets and all the stuff I mentioned above!
What’s good about this hack is that it only really edits the players save file, so you can update the game when new ones are available, you can still purchase stuff in-game. (I occasionally buy some gems to get large magic for raids).
another thing I would like to mention is that if you are still getting ads in game, I recommend you purchase the cheapest deal available, or if there’s no available deal, you can buy the cheapest gem pack. This got rid of the unprompted ads for me.
Edit: Thanks to RuckusAndBolt42 , I have learned that this patch makes E-May a whole lot easier to defeat, so if you want the struggle you will need to edit the users.xml file I provided. I will provide the edited file here if people request it.
