Call of the Arbiter | Episode 3: Kael

While in solitary confinement, Athel gets a vision from Lumaya that shows her the Lost Library, and explains that there is a truth contained which the Sacred Order has since forgotten. Finding this truth is Athel's true purpose.

As they escape the keep, Athel thanks Shamael and invites him to join her to do this journey together. Shamael respectfully declines, claiming that his is her journey, but instructs her to "never drop her guard" because the Godseeker will be surely coming after her. The episode ends with Shamael saying goodbye with "may the Godess guide you", and we see Athel running off into the distance to begin her journey.

Dungeons Raid

&nbsp;

Iron Twins Dungeon

The Iron Twins dungeon in Raid Shadow Legends is one of the most challenging encounters within the game. It is home to the fearsome Iron Twins, a single encounter dungeon, meaning there are no waves to beat as the boss is the only enemy you will face. Beating the Iron Twins dungeons requires not only a good amount of end-game gear (up to 600 accuracy is required for landing debuffs on the highest stage) but also some unique champions such as Geomancer in order to clear it much faster than usual.

The dungeon resets every day with the unique feature compared to other dungeons that only 6 keys can be used each day with a key being used up every time you manage to beat the boss. If you fail to beat the boss, the key is return and you can attempt again but the energy cost to do so ramps up so don’t attempt this boss without a strong team as your failed attempts will quickly deplete your energy.

The Iron Twins can be beaten up to 12 times every day as 6 more keys can be bought for the price of 150 gems. It is highly recommended that players do not refresh this dungeon unless they are confident, they can beat the highest difficulty but also have a good source of gems they can acquire every day (Daily Gem pack or other gem purchases). and players must employ unique strategies to defeat these formidable bosses. The dungeon is known for its daily reset feature, changing its affinity each day.

By completing this dungeon, players can earn valuable resources such as Soul Coins and Soul Essence, which are needed for Awakening their champions. Awakening unlocks the true potential of champions and allows players to enhance their abilities.

Potion Keeps

The potion keeps in Raid Shadow Legends are special dungeons where players can farm potions for Champion&nbsp;Ascension, a process that enhances the power and capabilities of their champions.

There are five types of potions, each corresponding to a different colour and affinity type:

<ul>
	<li style="margin-left: 8px; text-align: justify;">Arcane Keep - Arcane Potions (White Colour) – Open Everyday</li>
	<li style="margin-left: 8px; text-align: justify;">Spirit Keep - Spirit Potions (Green Colour) – Open every Monday &amp; Thursday</li>
	<li style="margin-left: 8px; text-align: justify;">Force Keep - Force Potions (Red Colour) – Open every Tuesday &amp; Friday</li>
	<li style="margin-left: 8px; text-align: justify;">Magic Keep - Magic Potions (Blue Colour) – Open every Wednesday &amp; Saturday</li>
	<li style="margin-left: 8px; text-align: justify;">Void Keep - Void Potions (Purple Colour) – Open every Sunday</li>
</ul>

&nbsp;

Each potion keep has multiple difficulty levels, and players can farm these dungeons to obtain potions of different rarity&nbsp;Lesser, Greater, and Superior. The higher the difficulty level, the better the chances of obtaining potions of higher rarity.

To successfully farm the potion keeps, players can use specific champions that are known to be useful in these dungeons. Although each dungeon has its own strategy in beating them, Potion Keeps generally become easy to beat even on Stage 20 which is the highest difficulty by the time any player has built a solid team of 5 champions equipped with at least 5-star gear and masteries.

Farming the potion keeps is necessary so that players can accumulate the necessary potions to Ascend their champions. Ascension is crucial for improving the overall power and effectiveness of champions, allowing them to reach higher levels and unlock additional skills and abilities and sometimes even higher base stats.

Minotaur's Labyrinth

The Minotaur's Labyrinth is a challenging dungeon where players can farm Mastery Scrolls for their champions. Mastery Scrolls are used to unlock masteries for champions making them even more formidable in battles and providing unique power boosts through Tier 6 masteries such as Warmaster and Giantslayer through the Offense Tree.

The dungeon rewards Mastery Scrolls according to the difficulty you are trying with Stage 15 being the highest difficulty awarding the most Master Scrolls per run randomly to one of the party. If only one member of the party is missing masteries, then all scrolls will be earned by that champion until they reach the maximum number of scrolls.

The highest amount of scrolls any champion can acquire are:

<ul>
	<li style="margin-left: 8px; text-align: justify;">100 Basic Scrolls</li>
	<li style="margin-left: 8px; text-align: justify;">600 Advanced Scrolls</li>
	<li style="margin-bottom: 11px; margin-left: 8px; text-align: justify;">950 Divine Scrolls</li>
</ul>

Farming the Minotaur's Labyrinth for Mastery Scrolls can be a time-consuming process, as it requires a significant amount of energy a player can spend on average 2200 energy or about 640gems to acquire all scrolls for one champion assuming you can farm Stage 15. Some players may choose to spend 800 gems (the in-game currency) to avoid spending energy and skip the farming process but it is not recommended as it is less efficient in terms of gem cost.

Artifact and Accessories Dungeons

In order to power up your champions you need to equip them with strong Artifacts and Accessories! The only way to farm for high-rarity gear pieces (epic, legendary and mythical) is through farming the following dungeons:

<ul>
	<li style="margin-left: 8px; text-align: justify;">Ice Golem’s Peak</li>
	<li style="margin-left: 8px; text-align: justify;">Dragon’s Lair</li>
	<li style="margin-left: 8px; text-align: justify;">Spider’s Den</li>
	<li style="margin-left: 8px; text-align: justify;">Fire Knight’s Castle</li>
</ul>

	<li style="margin-bottom: 11px; margin-left: 8px; text-align: justify;">Banner accessory (Random drop for any of the 15 Factions)</li>
</ul>

&nbsp;

Each dungeon has its own unique difficulties and recommended strategies but some general tips to have in mind are:

<ul>
	<li style="margin-left: 8px; text-align: justify;">In order to apply debuffs such as Decrease Defense try to have at least 8-10 accuracy points per Stage that you are attempting to defeat. (160-200 accuracy for Stage 20)</li>
	<li style="margin-left: 8px; text-align: justify;">Beginners should focus on farming Stage 13 in order to start getting 6 star pieces of gear.</li>
	<li style="margin-left: 8px; text-align: justify;">Focus on farming Stage 16 or higher in order to stop getting Mystery Shards or Ascension Potions in the loot of each dungeon you beat.</li>
	<li style="margin-left: 8px; text-align: justify;">Focus on farming Stage 20 or higher in order to only get 5 or 6 star gear.</li>
	<li style="margin-bottom: 11px; margin-left: 8px; text-align: justify;">Hard Dungeons should only be attempted if you have a comfortable team already for Normal Dungeons and you are looking to get Mythical gear pieces.</li>
</ul>

Sand Devil’s Necropolis

Sand Devil's Necropolis is the latest end-game dungeon released in December 2022 and offers players an opportunity to farm Oil to ascend their artifacts. Artifact Ascension is the new feature added to the game which allows players to enhance their gear and improve their champions' performance.

There are three types of Ascension Oil:

<ul>
	<li style="margin-left: 8px; text-align: justify;">Lesser Oil. Used to Ascend Artifacts to Levels 1 and 2 of Ascension.</li>
	<li style="margin-left: 8px; text-align: justify;">Greater Oil. Used to Ascend Artifacts to Levels 3 and 4 of Ascension.</li>
	<li style="margin-bottom: 11px; margin-left: 8px; text-align: justify;">Superior Oil. Used to Ascend Artifacts to Levels 5 and 6 of Ascension.</li>
</ul>

The Sand Devil’s Necropolis features another single boss encounter like the Iron Twins and the Spider’s Den. This encounter is extremely hard and not recommended to be attempted by the majority of players until they reach the end game&nbsp;as gear ascension is only required once you have a good amount of gear already farmed and ready to be improved.

The strategy for beating the Sand Devil's Necropolis may vary, but there are multiple strategies available by utilizing champions that can apply the Sleep debuff to the boss as well as utilizing strong reviver Champions such as Duchess or champions with Revive on Death abilities such as Mothe Cybele.

(Unknown Dungeon)

This dungeon although available to look at in the Dungeon Mode page has not been released yet as of May 2023. It is expected that this dungeon will be similar in difficulty to the Sand Devil’s Necropolis and feature another area where Players will be able to farm resources similar to Oils in order to ascend their accessories.

Dungeons are a big part of what makes Raid Shadow Legends special. 12 different dungeons are available each featuring a different boss encounter and loot.

RAID Shadow Legends has hundreds of Epic champions, but <a href="https://aftershockunited.gg/raid/champions/uugo" target="_blank">Uugo</a> is definitely one of the best. She is a Magic affinity champion who is part of the Ogryn Tribes faction, providing tons of utility with Leech, Decrease DEF, Block Buffs, Ally Heal,&nbsp; and the ability to even revive fallen allies. With Uugo being so generally useful, she grades out extremely well on our <a href="https://aftershockunited.gg/raid/champions" target="_blank">OVERALL RAID CHAMPIONS TIER LIST</a>.&nbsp;

Since Uggo is extremely viable even in end-game compositions like the Hydra, it can even make sense to keep 2-3 of her so that you always have an Uugo in the event you need another copy. It is also a bit more realistic to build duplicates of her because she is an Epic instead of a Legendary.

Black Hand [ATK] 
Attacks 1 enemy. Has a 35% chance of placing a [Leech] debuff for 2 turns. The chance increases by 5% for each alive enemy. 
Level 2: Damage +5% 
Level 3: Damage +5% 
Level 4: Damage +5% 
Level 5: Damage +5% 
Damage Multiplier: 5.2 ATK

&nbsp;

Maelstrom Wrack [ATK] (Cooldown: 4 turns) 
Attacks all enemies. Has a 75% chance of placing a 60% [Decrease DEF] debuff for 2 turns. Also has a 50% chance of placing a [Block Buffs] debuff for 2 turns. The chance of placing the [Block Buffs] debuff increases by 5% for each alive enemy. 
Level 2: Damage +5% 
Level 3: Damage +10% 
Level 4: Buff/Debuff Chance +5% 
Level 5: Buff/Debuff Chance +10% 
Level 6: Buff/Debuff Chance +10% 
Level 7: Cooldown -1 
Damage Multiplier: 4.8 ATK

&nbsp;

Uugo’s Brew [ATK] (Cooldown: 6 turns) 
Removes all [Heal Reduction] debuffs from all allies, then removes 1 random debuff from all allies, then heals all allies by 20% of this Champion’s MAX HP. If all allies are dead, revives them with 50% HP, then fills their Turn Meters by 50% instead. 
Level 2: Heal +5% 
Level 3: Heal +5% 
Level 4: Heal +5% 
Level 5: Heal +5% 
Level 6: Cooldown -1 
Level 7: Cooldown -1

&nbsp;

Final Spite [Passive] (Cooldown: 5 turns) 
Places a 30% [Increase SPD] buff and a [Block Damage] buff on this Champion for 1 turn whenever this Champion’s last living ally is killed.

Uugo is very expensive book-wise, taking a massive 16 Epic Books to fully max out her skills. This expensive of an investment definitely hurts, but she is worth the cost being one of the most consistent and viable Epic champions in the game.

Base Stats:

<ul>
	<li style="text-align: justify;">HP: 19,650</li>
	<li style="text-align: justify;">ATK: 738</li>
	<li style="text-align: justify;">DEF: 1,255</li>
	<li style="text-align: justify;">SPD: 102</li>
	<li style="text-align: justify;">C RATE: 15%</li>
	<li style="text-align: justify;">C DMG: 50%</li>
	<li style="text-align: justify;">RES: 30</li>
	<li style="text-align: justify;">ACC: 15</li>
</ul>

&nbsp;

The base stats are actually really solid for an epic champion. Even though Uugo technically scales damage with ATK, you want to build her as a utility support, so don't really bother worrying about the damage building stats like ATK and CRIT. It is really nice that she gets a base of 15 ACC because you will need a lot of Accuracy to get value out of her as a champion, and the base SPD of 102 is also very good.

As far as Masteries are concerned, Sniper is going to be very important because the Block Debuffs that she places is not 100% even when booked, which is an extremely important part of her utility. The support mastery tree in general does give a lot of value to Uugo, and after that you can either go down the offense tree to scoop up Warmaster, or take extra toughness via the defense tree. Eagle Eye can be a good tier 6 mastery choice because Uugo is a high-end Hydra viable champion, meaning she will need a lot of accuracy.

The stats that you want to prioritize are Speed and Accuracy. After that, just fit in as much toughness as you can get without worrying about stacking the ability for her to do damage.

Some sets that will work very well equipping on Uugo:&nbsp;

<ul>
	<li style="text-align: justify;">Perception</li>
	<li style="text-align: justify;">Speed</li>
	<li style="text-align: justify;">Divine Speed</li>
	<li style="text-align: justify;">Immortal</li>
	<li style="text-align: justify;">Accuracy</li>
</ul>

Uugo is one of the overall best epic champions in RAID Shadow Legends and is vital for any account.

Mighty Ukko is a Legendary Force affinity champion from the Skinwalkers Faction. He is a very versatile champion that can be used effectively in both PVP and PVE content. His skill are as follows: A1 Ukko Smash,&nbsp;Attacks all enemies. Has a 50% chance of placing a 50%&nbsp;[Decrease ATK] debuff for 2 turns. A2 Ukko's Fury,&nbsp;Attacks all enemies 2 times. Each hit has a 75% chance to remove 2 random buffs from the target. Places a&nbsp;[Block Buffs] debuff and a 50%&nbsp;[Decrease ACC] debuff for 2 turns on targets that have no buffs after the attack. A3 Ukko's Mercy,&nbsp;Revives all dead allies with 40% HP, then places a&nbsp;[Block Damage] buff on them for 1 turn. Also places a 30%&nbsp;[Increase SPD] buff on all allies for 2 turns. Will place the&nbsp;[Increase SPD] buff even if there are no dead allies. Passive Totem Warden, Has a 50% chance of stealing 1 random buff from a random enemy each time a buff is replaced on the enemy team. Will only attempt to steal one buff for each type of buff placed simultaneously (for example, Only one random buff may be stolen if 3 Veil buffs are placed at the same time). Any stolen buffs become protected. You can view a full breakdown of his&nbsp;overall grades in the game via our <a href="https://aftershockunited.gg/raid/champions/mighty-ukko">FULL CHAMPION'S TIER LIST</a>.

Mighty Ukko Infographic

How to Build: For full CC build focus on Speed and Accuracy then HP. Ukko can also be used in the Hydra Clan Boss effectively so this build will require much more HP and DEF depending on the difficulty of the Hydra Clan Boss Stage. Depending on the composition you may also want to use Regeneration or Immortal sets. This will allow Ukko to stay healed.&nbsp;Provoke Set is also a decent option for Hydra since Mighty Ukko has an AOE A1 Ability.&nbsp;

Masteries to Use: A viable setup for PVP Masteries is up above in the infographic. If you do not intend to use a Stun Set you can go all the way down the Support tree into Eagle Eye to get an extra 50 Accuracy. If you are able to get a decent amount of Accuracy without the masteries you can take Warmaster on the Offense tree to help out with overall damage in PVE content.&nbsp;

Where he Shines: Mighty Ukko&nbsp;is very versatile and can be used in both PVE and PVP content. In addition to cc and buff strip,&nbsp;he also provides aoe revive which makes him useable in almost every&nbsp;area&nbsp;of the game.&nbsp;

While Mighty Ukko is a very powerful champion there are some ways to counter him. Because he has two aoe abilities that land debuffs, the Polymorph blessing is one of the strongest blessings you can use against him in PVP content. Bringing a lockout champion like Warlord, Yumeko, or Basher&nbsp;in to make sure he can't use his abilities is also very helpful. Using a cleanser&nbsp; like Cardiel, Mithrala, or Wythir is also very helpful against Mighty Ukko. Using the Protection Set on your buffer is also very helpful against Mighty Ukko so that your buffs cannot be stolen.&nbsp;

MIGHTY UKKO STUN SET ARENA BUILD

&nbsp;

If you're looking for a legendary champion to be your main pvp and dungeon carry in Raid Shadow Legends, Rotos the Lost Groom is one you should be looking for. With his powerful skills and abilities, he can quickly take out his enemies in the Arenas and Dungeons (can even solo nightmare Campaign!).

Rotos is a member of the Undead Hordes faction, and he was introduced in Patch 1.13 on February 14th, 2020, as part of the classic Champion Fusion Event. He is a magic affinity champion, which means he is suitable for dealing with Spirit Affinity enemies (affinity advantage!). He has four skills: Terror Scourge(A1), Vitality Plunder(A2), Fated Destruction(A3), and Spurn Oblivion(Passive).

Skills: 
Terror Scourge is Rotos' default attacking skill. It has a 75% chance of placing a 60% decrease defense debuff on an enemy for two turns, which makes it easier for Rotos to deal more damage to his enemies if that is applied as long as enough accuracy is provided through his gear build. It also has a 25% chance of granting him an extra turn, which means he can attack again immediately.

Vitality Plunder is Rotos' second skill, and it has a cooldown of three turns (two when fully booked). It deals damage to an enemy, decreases its max HP by 20%, and adds that HP to Rotos' own max HP. This skill is particularly useful when fighting against bosses because it decreases their max HP by 30% of the damage inflicted. Rotos' max HP will also be increased by 15,000 when this skill is used against bosses and 60,000 against enemy champions. It is a very strong skill with a short cooldown that makes Rotos stronger and tankier the more he uses it.

Fated Destruction is Rotos' third skill, and it has a cooldown of four turns(three when fully booked). It ignores 60% of the target's defense and ignores unkillable and block damage buffs. If this skill kills an enemy, Rotos gains an extra turn. Enemies killed by this skill cannot be revived if Rotos has gained the maximum amount of HP from the Vitality Plunder skill. This makes the use of Rotos A2 even more important and makes Rotos a great threat in prolonged fights as he will be applying block revive to his kills.

Spurn Oblivion is Rotos' passive skill. It decreases the damage from a single enemy hit so that the incoming damage will not exceed 50% of his max HP from that hit. This can occur once per enemy attack. It grants Rotos an extra turn if this damage reduction occurs. This skill does not work against bosses, but it decreases the damage taken from bosses by 15%. If Siphi the Lost Bride is on the same team, it decreases the damage taken from bosses by 30%. A crazy passive that protects Rotos against multiple enemy nukers and makes it almost a necessity for enemy teams to have a double-hitting nuker in order to deal with the threat of Rotos as they won’t be able to burst him down with any single targeting attack.

Gearing: 
Rotos is an exceptional champion, and his skills make him a formidable opponent as such his gear choices have to be made with the mind into which area you want to focus this champion’s use the most. For PvE (campaign, dungeons, doom tower, and even clan boss) the best sets to give to Rotos are relentless, lifesteal, immortal, and speed.

For PvP the best way is to focus on making him as scary as possible with 100% crit rate and as much Attack% and Crit Damage as possible and if you can equip him with sets that aid in ignoring defense such as savage and cruel sets. 
 
Since Rotos the Lost Groom can become stronger via both Health and Attack it is advised to give Rotos some more health if you can via his accessories such as a Health primary stat ring and a Health primary stat Banner.

In conclusion, Rotos the Lost Groom is an exceptional champion that can be used in various areas of the game. With his powerful skills and abilities, he can quickly take out his enemies and help you win battles. If you're looking for a champion that can help you dominate the game, Rotos is definitely a champion that you should consider.

Rotos the Lost Groom - Ultimate Single Damage Nuker

The Sylvan Watchers were introduced to RAID Shadow Legends towards the end of 2022 as the 15th faction. There is usually a gap period between when a new faction is announced, and when it will have a faction crypt to fight through where you can farm up glyphs and crafting materials. This is usually about 4-10 months and as of May 2023 it has been confirmed by Plarium that the Sylvan Watchers will be getting their own faction crypt in July 2023.

You can view all of RAID's champions and their grades on our <a href="https://aftershockunited.gg/raid/champions" target="_blank">OVERALL CHAMPION TIER LIST</a>, but in this guide we will be talking about a specific faction, and their grades within a specific area, in order to help plan an effective team for taking down the Sylvan Watchers faction crypt.

The chart above is showing all of the Sylvan Watcher champions as of the faction crypt's announcement and their grades within the context of just faction wars. It is important to note, that these grades could change slightly later one when we find out which of the faction war bosses will be the one who is guarding the final stage. There are 4 different faction war bosses, and we don't know yet which one will be in which in the boss stages, which are 7, 14, and 21.

Right now our faction war ranks for the Sylvan Watchers are:

<ol>
	<li style="text-align: justify;">Elva Autumnborn</li>
	<li style="text-align: justify;">Claidna</li>
	<li style="text-align: justify;">Duedan the Ruenic</li>

The undisputed Queen of Sylvan Watchers for Faction Wars is Elva Autumnborn. Heals, Block Debuffs, Increase Speed, Perfect Veil, All Battle Speed Aura,&nbsp;&nbsp;AND the ability to Revive, along with great base stats including a 110 base speed make her an amazing cornerstone of any Faction Wars team if you are lucky enough to have her on your roster. Elva Autumnborn was a <a href="https://aftershockunited.gg/raid/blog/all-guaranteed-summoning-events-history">GUARANTEED SUMMON EVENT</a> back in November of 2022 for 20 Sacred Shards.&nbsp;

One the crypt is live, we will try to get some teams posted here that are used to farm the final stage at both the optimized and budget fronts!

Sylvan Watchers | Faction Wars Guide

Hey RAID players, in this blog post I share with you a 1 picture guide showing my team achieving 90M damage on Hydra Brutal including a lot of information about it.

If you want to skip the text just scroll down to the picture below - it is a large picture, feel free to zoom in and move around to see all aspects shown on the picture. Otherwise, continue reading below for various text explanations.

<h3 style="text-align: left;">Hydra Brutal Guide by COSMOS</h3>

Team Composition 1:

There are mostly 2 types of compositions when it comes to Hydra: 4 support champions and 2 damage dealers (which is more common for beginners who struggle to stay alive) and 3 support champions with 3 damage dealers. This run is with the latter: 3 SUPPORT + 3 DMG.

Team Composition 2:

I noted on the picture the roles for each champion. This is also to help to choose alternatives if you want to adapt the team to your account. And I also explained about ALTS on the picture. Basically:

<ul style="text-align: left;">
	<li>All of the damage dealers can be replaced. What you will replace them with, of course, matters. You can't put a Rare Kael and expect to get the same result. So assuming you replace by a similar caliber all of them can be replaced. I would only recommend to try to bring at least someone with HP Burn as that will help against the Head of Blight if the Block Debuffs fails.</li>
	<li>MAX HP damage dealers would be the primary targets such as extra Husks or Royal Guards. Of course, if you have the cheat code (Acrizia) you don't need any guides.</li>
	<li>There are other unique damage dealers such as single target hitters which might need dedicated support such as the combination of Turvold and Mithrala. In this case you would switch to a 4 support + 2 damage dealer combination.</li>
</ul>

When it comes to support it is different:

<ul style="text-align: left;">
	<li>While damage dealers, most of the time, can be judged individually, the Support champions must be judged as a group.&nbsp;</li>
	<li>This is because the people who make Hydra teams think and plan for specific elements so you cannot just randomly replace one support - the whole team could fail.&nbsp;</li>
	<li>Instead, write down the things the group of supports must do for the team and if you need to replace then replace by another group that does the same.</li>
</ul>

<h3 style="text-align: left;">To revive or not?</h3>

It is important to consider if you can build a team without Revive. The reason for this is because this opens up the possibility for much more damage if you don't need to worry about Reviving.&nbsp;

And it is not as simple as weak vs. strong equipment. It has more to do with the type of champions. For example if you compare Husk and Royal Guard, they will dish out similar damage but Royal Guard will die many times while it is very much possible to do an entire Hydra fight without Husk going down.

It is very difficult (but possible) to keep ATTACK-type champions alive.&nbsp;

<h3 style="text-align: left;">Dealing with Hydra Heads</h3>

You need a plan to deal with them all. Often times less experienced RAID players will wine about a specific head, but when you play a full run until turn 246 as shown here, you will, 100%, end up dealing with all of Hydra Heads and multiple times at that.

There are regularly players complaining about not having Shamael, yet some of the top damage dealing teams don't use him!

Head of Torment

This Hydra run was done in Rotation #1 with the Head of Torment and, as you can see, I am not using Shamael. I dealt with this head by putting HP Burn on it and ignoring it most of the time. When Husk was not in fear (or cleansed 1 turn before his big Max HP smash was ready) he would help bring it down further. If the Fear debuff is on the plan is not to use any critical skill, use A1 and wait for the cleanse. This means watching and remembering when the critical skills are becoming ready!

Head of Mischief

Mischief Tank? Nope. I have no buffs to steal so he is free to steal nothing. OK there is a Speed-up sometimes, but I neither care if he steals that nor he manages with the Block Buffs from Uugo. So mostly I ignore this Head and don't see it as a threat unless it eats someone.

Mischief and Suffering are the most dangerous Heads in the game when you are on a high Turn count. Mischief because it is fast and Suffering because it is fat. So the plan is always to ignore them unless they will be eating your champions.

Head of Suffering

As mentioned above, completely ignore it. I don't see it as a threat at all and am happy to have that Head appearing as it means I will only have 3 opponents.

Head of Decay

This is probably the most dangerous Hydra Head. Therefore I have 3 champions in Provoke sets to keep it domesticated. Once in a rare blue moon it manages to Cleanse which is not a major issue but if all the stars align for the Hydra it can end the battle. Therefore Provoke takes priority over HP Burn.

Head of Blight

The least dangerous Head for this Team. HP Burns can bypass the Poison Cloud and Block Buffs prevents it. On top of that this Head helps to deal more damage to the Hydra via the HP Burn mechanic.

I completely ignore this Head unless it eats a champion.

Head of Wrath

The best friend you can have with this Team! Yes, I know this is a surprising statement for some players. But managing it correctly and triggering his big attack helps to both release eaten champions and to dish out more damage to the Hydra!&nbsp;

It is important however not to overdo it. The healing capacity is limited - you can't just constantly trigger it.

90M Hydra Brutal Guide by COSMOS - 1 picture guide / collage + Explanations

There are 7 Hydra chests, they are:

<h3 style="text-align: left;">Hydra Chests</h3>

<ul style="text-align: left;">
	<li>Novice – Hydra Normal Difficulty -- contains 2 Artifacts</li>
	<li>Adept – Hydra Difficulty: Normal + Hard -- contains 3 Artifacts</li>
	<li>Warrior – Hydra Difficulty: Normal + Hard + Brutal -- contains 3 Artifacts</li>
	<li>Knight – Hydra Difficulty: Brutal + Nightmare -- contains 4 Artifacts</li>
	<li>Guardian – Hydra Difficulty: Brutal + Nightmare -- contains 6 Artifacts</li>
	<li>Master – out of scope for this post -- contains 6 Artifacts</li>
	<li>Grandmaster – out of scope for this post -- contains 7 Artifacts</li>
</ul>

Naturally, the higher the chest the better the rewards, and, on top of that, sometimes it is better to get 1 higher chest than 2 of lower ones (with 1 exception):

<h3 style="text-align: left;">The Cut off points – chests to target:</h3>

Novice chest is the worst, not because it is the lowest one, but because it can drop 4 star equipment, which is completely useless. It has 25% chance to drop a 4 star Rare and another 18% chance to drop a 4 star Epic. This chest exists only in the Normal Difficulty.

The next group is Adept and Warrior chests. These have a 22% to 25% chance to drop 5 star equipment and another 27% to 30% chance to drop 6 star equipment. That means roughly half the time these will give Rare equipment which is not ideal. However, they do start dropping 5 star and 6 star legendary equipment at 5% to 10%. Still, the chance of Rare is very high and makes these chests less desirable. 
These 2 chests exist in Normal, Hard and Brutal difficulties.

Knight chest is the next “gamechanger” because it no longer drops 5 star rare equipment, although, it still maintains the chance to drop 6 star rare equipment. However, this, alongside the small chances for Mythic (0.75%), an 8.21% chance to drop 5 star legendary equipment and a 2.99% chance to drop 6 star legendary equipment makes it significantly better than the previous chests.

If you have a choice to go for 1 Knight chest versus going for 2 Adept or Warrior chests I think it would be better to go for the Knight one.&nbsp;

An exception to this is if you are still collecting Mithrala fragments in which chase the quantity of chests is important. Adept and Warrior would drop 1.9 fragments while Knight would drop 2.38 so in this case 2 smaller chests are better than 1 higher one.

You’d need 20.4M damage on Hydra Hard or 19.6M damage on Hydra Brutal to get the Knight Chest. This is very much doable once you understand how Hydra works and build a dedicated team for it.

Lastly, the Guardian chest is the main goal to reach for most players who are able to do Hydra up to Brutal (Currently not many (out of the entire player-base) are able to do even Brutal, so Nightmare difficulty and it’s Master and Grandmaster chests are out of scope for this article).

What makes the Guardian chest special is the complete removal of Rare equipment pieces. This chest will drop only Epic and Legendary items with a slight chance of Mythic. The majority should be Epic pieces because it has a large 34.45% chance to drop 5 star Epic equipment and 46.22% to drop 6 star Epic equipment. Together that makes it a little over 80% chance that the player will receive Epic equipment.

When it comes to Legendary items there is a slight increase versus previous chests:

<ul style="text-align: left;">
	<li>5 star lego: Adept 4%, Warrior 8%, Knight 8.21% and Guardian 10.08%.</li>
</ul>

But there is a much bigger increase for 6 star lego drops:

<ul style="text-align: left;">
	<li>6 star lego: Adept 1%, Warrior 2%, Knight 2.99% and Guardian 6.72%.</li>
</ul>

The remaining couple of percentage points is for Mythic equipment.

You’d need 29.4M damage on Hydra Brutal to get the Guardian Chest. This is much harder to achieve than the Knight Chest but it definitely can be done.

There have been many fusion and fragment event champions in RAID Shadow Legends. On average, there is one of these events about every 4-6 weeks. This is where we will show you the consensus rankings in numerical fashion of all these event champions. They are ranked numerically instead of in tiers like S, A, etc, because it is a special niche of champions instead of the whole entire scope of the game.

<a href="https://raidshadowpro.gg/tierlist" target="_blank">You can view the full tier list of all champions here.</a>

All of the RAID Shadow Legends champions featured in fusion and fragment events ranked from best to worst.

Fusion & Fragment Champions Tier List

Void legendary champions are quite possibly the most coveted resource in RAID Shadow Legends. They tend to be some of the strongest champions in the game because they the hardest legendary champions to acquire, and they cannot be countered by a strong affinity against them. Keep in mind that there will always be tons of debate and differing opinions whenever it comes to tier lists, so we do our best to gather many different opinions then rank the consensus. 

You should view tier lists as a starting point of reference but always use them as a resource instead of scientific fact because the power of a champion can be altered by someone's specific account or situation.

The graphic below is our team's current views on the overall strength and utility of each void legendary laid out in an evenly tiered manner. Our rankings are updated regularly, and you can view <a href="https://raidshadowpro.gg/tierlist?rarity=legendary" target="_blank">OUR FULL TIER LIST HERE</a>.

We will make sure to keep this up to date as the meta changes or new void legendary champions are added to the game. So this will be a living page updated as much as necessary.

There are a ton of different Artifact Sets in RAID Shadow Legends. From sets that are very basic, to sets that are specifically build defining. Some sets are more of the filler type set only requiring 2 pieces to get the set bonus, then there are&nbsp;other sets require 4 pieces to be worn before you get any bonus at all. There can also be some sets that are either way more valuable in the early game or the late game. The Lifesteal set is amazing for early game progression, but falls off fast for late game accounts, as an example.

Recently, there have been sets added like Stoneskin and Protection that&nbsp;drop from the Hydra Clan Boss, which provide set bonuses per piece that you wear all the way from 1 piece to 6 pieces.

It is important to remember, as always with any tier list, it should be used as a starting point to help cross-reference your own opinions. Since there are so many different situations, different champions, and everyone's account being at a different stage of the game, there will never be a perfect tier list. Here we going to do our best to provide a general layout of the overall utility for each set compared to others in the grand scope of things.
