Having the right build is essential to progressing in Raid: Shadow Legends. Sometimes just having the right champion can be beneficial but great gear opens the door to making more champions viable when filling a specific role. Building champions effectively is the first step to creating synergy amongst champions which will in turn enable team compositions that are reliable.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Understanding Champion Types&nbsp;

Champion types 1.png...

The first step to building a RAID Champion is to understand the different types of champions available. There are four types of champions: Attack, Defense, HP, and Support. Each champion scales their damage based on the attribute specified in their skill. Champions can scale damage based on Attack, Defense, HP, Enemy Max HP, and Speed. Some champions may have skills that scale damage from a combination of these attributes. Some champions may have conditional effects that allow them to do more damage based on a condition specified in the skill. For these reasons, it is important to thoroughly read the champions skills before building them.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Raid Shadow Legends Affinity.png...

Choosing the right champion to build:&nbsp;

Each area of the game requires champions with specific skills in order to complete it effectively. In most cases it is important to have a balance of support, damage, and crowd control in your team composition. Understand the role you want each champion to play because that will directly influence the gear that you use for them. Affinity is also something to note when selecting champions. There are four affinities: Void, Magic, Force, and Spirit. While Void is neutral, there is a hierarchy with the other affinities:&nbsp;&nbsp;

Magic is stronger than Spirit&nbsp;

Spirit is stronger than Force&nbsp;

Force is stronger than Magic&nbsp;

Selecting champions that are weak affinity for certain areas will make them a liability in your team composition and influence the consistency of the results you are able to get. You don’t want to build a team of Magic affinity champions to complete a stage full of Force affinity opponents. Additionally, champions that are weak affinity have a 35% chance to land a weak hit. A weak hit does -30% damage. Debuffs cannot be placed on weak hits unless specified in the champions skill description. Champions that are strong affinity have an extra 15% chance to inflict a critical hit. The critical hit chance is reduced by 15% for champions that are weak affinity.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Leveling Champions:&nbsp;

Leveling and ascending a champion to 6 stars is the first step to getting the best build possible. You can level champions by earning experience points (XP). Champions will earn a certain amount of XP when completing battles. The campaign is one of the most efficient areas for leveling champions. The recommended stages for leveling champions in the campaign are Brimstone Path stage 12-3 on Brutal difficulty and Brimstone Path stage 12-6 on Nightmare difficulty.&nbsp; In order to equip a champion with an amulet they must be at least ascended at rank 5. To equip a champion with a banner they must be at least ascended at rank 6. You want to be able to equip these accessories in order to maximize the stats you can achieve on a given champion.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Gearing Champions&nbsp;

Equipping your champion with the right artifacts and accessories is critical to their success in battle. There are six&nbsp;types of artifacts and three types of accessories: weapons, helmets, shields, gauntlets, chests,&nbsp;boots, rings, amulets, and banners. Each piece of gear provides different bonuses to your champion's stats, such as increased attack, defense, hp, accuracy, resist, crit rate, crit damage, or speed. Each piece of gear will have a range of primary and substat values. Weapons will always have Attack as the primary stat. Helmets will always have HP as the primary stat. Shields will always have Defense as the primary stat. The maximum primary and substat value a piece of gear can achieve is based on both the rank and the rarity. When equipping your champion, it is important to consider their strengths and weaknesses and choose gear that complements their abilities.&nbsp;

Attack Based Damage Dealer Artifacts and Accessories&nbsp;

Damage Dealer Gear.png...

Building Damage Dealers:&nbsp;

Damage dealers typically have similar builds no matter how they scale their damage. You will want to focus on the stat&nbsp;that the champion scales its damage from. This will be specified in the champions skill description. Below are recommended stats to look for on pieces for an attack based damage dealer.&nbsp;&nbsp;

&nbsp;

Weapon: crit rate, atk%, crit damage, speed, acc*&nbsp;

Helmet: crit rate, atk%, crit damage, speed, acc*&nbsp;

Shield: crit rate, crit damage speed, acc*&nbsp;

Glove option 1: Crit Damage primary stat with crit rate, atk% speed, acc*&nbsp;

Glove option 2: Crit rate primary stat with crit damage, atk%, speed, acc*

Chest piece: Atk% primary stat with crit rate, crit damage, speed, acc*&nbsp;

Boot option 1: Speed primary stat with crit rate, crit damage, atk%, acc*&nbsp;&nbsp;

Boot option 2: Atk% primary stat with crit rate, crit damage, speed, acc*&nbsp;

Ring: Atk primary stat with atk% substats, hp%, def%, hp&nbsp;

Amulet: Crit Damage primary stat with flat atk, acc, res, hp/def&nbsp;

Banner option 1: Attack primary with atk%, speed, hp%/def% hp/def&nbsp;

Banner option 2: Accuracy primary with atk%, speed, flat attack, hp%/def%&nbsp;

Defense or HP based nukers will have the same build as above. Just replace atk% with def% or hp% based on how the champion scales damage. 
&nbsp;

The primary stat on the glove will ideally be crit damage. If you are in the early game the primary stats on the glove will likely be crit rate. Ideally your damage dealer will have 100% crit rate and as much crit damage as possible. If you use a speed boot you can get the atk% substat on the boot as well. If you use atk% as a primary stat for the boot you cannot get it as a substat. Additionally you cannot get atk% as a substat on shields nor can you get def% as a substat on weapons. The speed of the champion will be determined by the area used and the team compositions. These things will determine whether you need to have the nuker faster or slower. Some damage dealers also have the ability to land debuffs which you may need. Accuracy would be a secondary stat to focus on after maximizing their damage output.&nbsp;

Reviver Support Artifacts and Accessories

Support reviver gear raid shadow legends.png...

Building Support Champions&nbsp;

Support champions are usually in 2 types of builds. They will either be faster or slower depending on the requirements of the area they are being used in. In either case you will want them to be as tanky as possible so they can stay alive. Their primary purpose is to hold your comp together by healing or reviving the other champions when needed. Below are recommended stats to look for on pieces for a support champion.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Weapon: hp%, speed, hp, res, acc*&nbsp;

Helmet: hp%, speed, def%, def, res,&nbsp; acc*&nbsp;

Shield: hp%, def%, speed, hp/def, res, acc*&nbsp;

Glove option 1: Hp% primary stat with speed, def%, hp/def, res, acc*&nbsp;

Glove option 2: Def% primary stat with hp%, speed, def%, hp/def, res, acc*&nbsp;

Chest option 1: HP% primary stat with speed, acc*&nbsp;

Chest option 2: Resist primary with hp%, speed, def%, hp/def, acc*&nbsp;

Chest option 3: Def% primary with hp%, speed, hp/def, res, acc*&nbsp;

Boot option 1: Speed primary stat with hp%, def%, hp/def, res, acc*&nbsp;&nbsp;

Boot option 2: HP% primary stat with def%, speed, hp/def, res, acc*&nbsp;

Boot option 3:&nbsp; Def% primary with hp%, speed, hp/def, res, acc*&nbsp;

Ring: HP primary stat with&nbsp; hp%, def%, def&nbsp;

Ring option 2: DEF primary with hp%, def%, hp&nbsp;

Amulet option 1: HP primary stat with def, res, acc&nbsp;

Amulet option 2: DEF primary with hp, res, acc&nbsp;

Banner option 1: HP primary with hp%, speed, def%, def&nbsp;

Banner option 2: DEF primary with hp%, speed, def%, hp&nbsp;

Banner option 3: Resist primary with speed, hp%, def%, hp/def&nbsp;

It is good to have a balance of hp, defense and speed. Certain situations will require the support champion to also be built with resistance and/or accuracy.&nbsp;&nbsp;

CC/Debuffer Artifacts and Accessories

Building CC/Debuffer Champions&nbsp;

CC champions provide debuffs and turn meter control allowing you to take team compositions to the ultimate level of synergy. Many things can be beaten over time with a decent support and damage dealer. CC champions make the jobs of your support and damage dealer easier and generally allow for faster runs. Below are recommended stats to look for on pieces for a CC champion.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Weapon: speed, acc, hp%&nbsp;

Helmet: speed, acc, hp%, def%&nbsp;

Shield: speed, acc, hp%, def%&nbsp;

Glove option 1: Hp% primary stat with speed, acc, def%&nbsp;

Glove option 2: Def% primary stat with speed, acc, hp%&nbsp;

Chest option 1: Accuracy primary with speed, hp%, def%&nbsp;

Chest option 2: HP% primary stat with speed, acc, def%&nbsp;

Chest option 3: Def% primary with speed, acc, hp%&nbsp;

Boot: Speed primary stat with acc, hp%, def%&nbsp;

Ring: HP primary stat with&nbsp; hp%, def%, def&nbsp;

Ring option 2: DEF primary with hp%, def%, hp&nbsp;

Amulet option 1: HP primary stat with acc, res, def&nbsp;

Amulet option 2: DEF primary with acc, res, hp&nbsp;

Banner: Accuracy primary with speed, hp%, def%, hp/def&nbsp;

The primary focus when building a CC champion should generally be accuracy and speed. Some PVE situations will require resistance as well as accuracy. You might elect to take a resist chest piece with accuracy substats for certain stages in the game.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Upgrading skills raid shadow legends build.png...

Upgrading Skills&nbsp;

Skill Tomes are very hard to come by in the game but using them on champions is almost essential in most cases. Some champions are viable without books but the majority of them need them in order to be reliable. Some champions will only be used for particular skills and won’t require you to fully book them. If you get lucky and book the skill you need it is&nbsp;okay to save the rest of your books for a champion that needs them more. You want to use tomes on champions with skills that get&nbsp;cooldowns and increased chances to land debuffs.&nbsp;Extra damage can also be obtained from booking a champion. Booking a damage dealer can greatly improve their damage output. Champions that don’t get these things from using skill tomes on them tend to not usually need them to be effective. More times than not a champion will need to be booked. &nbsp;

Masteries:

The Masteries you select for a champion will depend on the role that champion is filling in your team composition. There are Offense, Defense, and Support trees you can use in order to make your champions more viable. Only two of the three can be used at one time for any champion so be sure you select the right masteries. You do get one free reset if you want to start over but it costs 150 gems to reset any time after that. Masteries will vary depending on where the champion is being used and how the champion contributes to the overall team composition. Below are some examples of Masteries.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Building a champion in RAID: Shadow Legends requires a combination of strategy and skill. By understanding the different types of champions, you can build very successful team compositions. Remember, maximizing the builds of your champions can take time and effort, but with patience and perseverance, you can create a formidable team that can conquer even the toughest opponents.&nbsp;

How to Build a Champion

In RAID Shadow Legends' animated series, Call of the Arbiter, episode 1 dives into telling some back-story of the starting champion Galek. We also have a <a href="https://aftershockunited.gg/raid/blog/raid-s-call-of-the-arbiter-series-breakdown" target="_blank">FULL LIST OF ALL EPISODES</a> for you to easily navigate through the story and codes that you will need in-game for free resources like Energy, Silver, and Multi-Battles.

You can also view the entire Episode 1 on <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@RaidShadowLegends" target="_blank">Plarium's Official RAID Shadow Legends YouTube channel</a>, or right here linking to the specific video for&nbsp;<a href="https://youtu.be/b8BNxCUg9Xs" target="_blank">Episode 2: </a><a href="https://youtu.be/b8BNxCUg9Xs" target="_blank">Athel</a>.

ath1.webp...

Episode 2 starts out with a now more grown up Athel, who is training fighting capabilities with a man in a large Sacred Order hall. This man that Athel is training with is <a href="https://aftershockunited.gg/raid/champions/inquisitor-shamael" target="_blank">Inquisitor Shamael</a> from in-game. The last time we saw Athel, was when Galek had dropped her off at the steps of the Sacred Order.&nbsp;

ath2.webp...

While Athel is training with Shamael, Godseeker Aniri storms into the hall very clearly upset. Athel is called over and scolded for having forbidden tomes, that contain heresy, in her private quarters. She is commanded to reflect on what she has done and pray for absolution while being punished in solitary.

ath3.webp...

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.

ath4.webp...

Athel seems to receive some sort of blessing from Lumaya when their hands touch, and then we see Athel's capabilities vastly improve in the real world. She is now performing way better in training, and it seems that some people like Shamael in the Sacred Order may be getting jealous of her high performances.&nbsp;

ath5.webp...

Shamael stumbles upon Athel while she is studying some sacred text, and a minor confrontation ensues where Shamael accuses Athel of getting so strong by using dark magic. Athel explains that she is not using any dark magic, but instead is pursuing the truth as she was instructed by the Arbiter, a being created by Lumaya to guide them. Athel accuses Shamael of not being concerned for her, and instead driven by jealousy, so she claims she does not need him anymore and walks away.

ath6.webp...

When Athel is beginning to embark on her new journey to pursue the sacred truth, she is confronted by the guards. They begin to attack her because abandoning her oath the covenant is punishable by death. During the fight with the guards, Athel is overpowered, but before she can be fatally struck, she is rescued by Shamael who blocks for her and helps her overcome the guards.

ath7.webp...

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_FRONT PREVIEW BANNER FOR PAGE copy.webp...

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.

mino_FRONT PREVIEW BANNER FOR PAGE copy.webp...

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.

</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 devils_FRONT PREVIEW BANNER FOR PAGE copy.webp...

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.

Typically the event requires you to summon a number of either Ancient, Void, or Sacred Shards. The&nbsp;Michinaki Summon Rush Event was a new style of Guaranteed Summoning that allowed players to combine&nbsp;Mystery, Ancient, Void and Sacred shards to attain Fragments for the&nbsp;Shadowkin Legendary Champion. To complete the fragment event it required 10,000 Summon rush points. If you pulled an individual type of shard for this you would need either 20 Sacred, 500 Ancient, or 10,000 Mystery shards. Seeing as Michinaki is not a void champion I would not&nbsp;pull void shards for him to complete this event but it would cost roughly 84 Voids if you only pulled Void shards.&nbsp;

Pulling shards during a guaranteed summoning event does not reset your Mercy Counter. If you happen to summon the Guaranteed champion before you reach the specified number of shards the event will end. Below is a list of the all&nbsp;RAID Shadow Legends Guaranteed Champions.

The requirements for&nbsp;to complete the guaranteed events have increased over time. To be properly&nbsp;it is best to have more than the previous required amount.&nbsp;

Requirement to complete Legendary&nbsp;Guaranteed Champion Event:

Minimum of 180 Ancient Shards (Alsgor Crimsonhorn was the latest and highest in terms of cost)

Minimum of 110 Void Shards

Minimum of 20 Sacred Shards

&nbsp;

Requirement to complete Epic Guaranteed Champion Event:

Minimum of 40 Ancient Shards

Minimum of 40 Void Shards

Minimum of 4 Sacred Shards

&nbsp;

Requirement to complete Rare&nbsp;Guaranteed Champion Event:

Minimum of 7 Void Shards

There has not been a guaranteed Rare Champion event for ancient shards to date.

Artak has officially joined the world of Telearia! A FREE Legendary Champion coming to RAID Shadow Legends as part of the&nbsp;<a href="https://aftershockunited.gg/raid/blog/raid-s-call-of-the-arbiter-series-breakdown" target="_blank">Call of the Arbiter</a>&nbsp;promotion which has just started over on <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@RaidShadowLegends" target="_blank">Raid’s Official YouTube Channel!</a>

Ninja, Alexandr, Deliana, Ultimate Deathknight, Ronda and now Artak! This is the SIXTH Free Legendary Login event we’ve had so far and it’s as simple as it sounds! As long as you login for 7 days during the active promotional period (May 18th to July 23rd) you will get this brand new FREE Legendary champion.

Artak along with other champions joining the game soon, will be a character from the Call of the Arbiter series, which will be releasing new episodes every week for a total of 10 episodes!

Looking at Artak’s kit, it's all about HP Burn! Every single skill Artak has can apply an Area of Effect Attack (AOE) which can be HUGE for locations such as Hydra Clan Boss and the Spider Dungeon. If that was not enough, you can additionally use him as a crowd control champion by utilizing a stun set or provoke set.

Artak is HP based, so keeping him away from danger during battle shouldn't be that hard. This allows for more freedom in cranking up the damage potential of your team in any place you are using him!

Unlike other daily login champions (Ninja, Ronda, and Alexander),&nbsp;Artak can be acquired through shards (Ancient and Sacred) once the daily login Loyalty Program ends.
