Aleksandr the Sharpshooter Review
Aleksandr the Sharpshooter is a Legendary Attack Magic champion from High Elves faction in Raid Shadow Legends. Aleksandr was introduced in Patch 4.90 on December 1st, 2021 as a special collaboration with Oleksandr Olegovich Kostyliev aka S1mple who is a professional CSGO (Counter-Strike: Global Offensive) Player for Natus Vincere aka NAVI.
Use Promo Code “S1mple” to gain sweet in-game resources while the event is running!
Aleksandr can only be obtained for a limited time to all players for free by logging into the game for 7 days between December 1st, 2021 and January 28th, 2022 to acquire him! He will not be available to be summoned from Ancient Shards and Sacred Shards. Previously, Plarium released 2 champions based on a popular streamer who are Ninja and Saito!
Arctic Warfare (A1 Skill) is Aleksandr’s default attack that has a chance to freeze a single target enemy. This freezing chance increases if the enemy is from either Orcs or Ogryn Tribes faction, which is useful in stopping the enemy in their tracks.
Spraydown (A2 Skill) is Aleksandr’s AoE Attack (Area of Effect) that deals damage to all enemies in the battlefield while simultaneously inflicting Decrease Defense and Weaken debuff. However, the Weaken debuff is only applicable for the Orcs and Ogryn Tribes faction, which is a letdown as his potential to be used till the late game is restricted as there are better champions who can replace him in his role.
Born to Win (A3 Skill) is Aleksandr’s nuking attack that deals a high amount of damage to a single target enemy and then removes their buffs. However, it works the opposite when attacking enemies who are from Orcs and Ogryn Tribes faction. The latter approach is much more sense since it’s important to remove the enemy protection buffs before dealing damage, so the enemy would have a slimmer chance of surviving that hit. Fun Facts: This skill name is obtained from the Latin translation of Natus Vincere, which means Born to Win!
Last but not least, Aleksandr has an Accuracy Aura that is essential for early-mid game players as Accuracy stat is the staple for debuffer to inflict their debuffs and negative effects. It’s difficult to farm Accuracy Banner from Spider’s Den especially when you first start in the game.
Overall, Aleksandr is a decent Legendary champion who can help early-mid game players to speed up their game progression. However, his full potential is confined against champions from Orcs and Ogryn Tribes faction. If you do not have a dedicated Decrease Defense champion for Faction Wars (e.g. Tayrel), then Aleksandr will be an excellent candidate to fill this gap! It is a disappointment that Plarium did not take this opportunity to implement new mechanics to this champion skill to make him a one-of-a-kind champion like Ninja since he can only be obtained from a Time-Limited event.
Champion Improvement Ideas: There are a couple of ideas to buff this champion. For example, having his default attack “Arctic Warfare” apply Decrease Speed debuff if Freeze is not applied. Secondly, his special ability should be extended to Gaellen Pact that consists of Orcs, Ogryn Tribes, Lizardmen, and Skinwalkers rather than only 2 factions. His A3 Skill “Born to Win” has the potential to implement a new mechanic where Aleksandr is able to steal the enemy buff if they are from Gaellen Pact and apply Buff Spread to all allies. His A2 Skill “Spraydown” should apply both debuffs to the enemy regardless of faction and deal extra hit to those under the specified faction. This significantly improves the uniqueness of this champion and spices up this game!
Aleksandr Champion Lore Synopsis
Aleksandr the Sharpshooter is a name that sparks fear across Teleria, though very little is officially known about him. The Aravian government, famed for its secrets, has gone to great lengths to ensure that no records of his existence can be found in their archives. Even within the high ranks of power, his name is never spoken, and his orders are delivered through complex, hidden channels. Those who try to uncover the truth about Aleksandr face a wall of endless bureaucracy, ensuring that even the most persistent inquirer is silenced or redirected. The Aravian state seems determined to protect not just his identity but the mystique surrounding one of their most lethal weapons.
Aleksandr’s reputation as a sniper is unmatched. Tales of his incredible aim and ability to strike enemies with icy precision have spread far and wide. Whether facing massive brutes or the fastest archers, Aleksandr’s reflexes and tactical genius always give him the upper hand. His arrows strike with lightning speed and freezing pain, making him an indispensable asset on the battlefield. As a master of both combat and instruction, he trains Aravia’s elite archers in secret, ensuring that his deadly techniques remain within a closely guarded circle.
While Aleksandr’s past is shrouded in mystery, some hidden details reveal a life filled with struggles and imperfections. In his youth, he spent time in the harsh Winterlands, learning magical rime-shot abilities among marauding gangs. Though his talents grew, he never found a true sense of belonging. He was exploited by the groups he fought with, bouncing between various crews until he finally joined one that valued his skills. However, when his comrades turned to slaving and ruthless pillaging, Aleksandr’s moral compass led him to flee, abandoning the life of a reaver in search of something more fulfilling.
Eventually, Aleksandr returned to Aravia, where he was detained for being an undocumented Elf. Given the choice between second-class citizenship or military service, Aleksandr chose the latter, hoping to find purpose and a place to belong. Despite his reservations about losing his autonomy, Aleksandr’s decision proved pivotal. His immense skills were soon recognized, and he rose through the ranks to become one of the most feared snipers in the land. His past, though painful and complex, shaped him into the lethal force Aravia now relied upon.
Years passed, and Aleksandr’s legend grew. Veterans who survived battles with him still live in fear of open spaces, long corridors, and the unmistakable sound of a bowstring being drawn. Aleksandr’s deadly expertise and the disciples he trained have cemented his legacy as one of the greatest snipers to ever live, though the true story behind his rise remains largely untold.

Raid: Shadow Legends RAID x S1mple | Champion Material (Official Commercial)
ihr könnt ihn anscheunend alle nicht richtig spielen. er ist bei mir voll gebucht und auf 60. er fetzt richtig gut. das einzige negative : 1. er sollte nicht nur bei a3 einzeln angreifen, sondern eine aoe durchführen. dann wäre er gold wert für pvp
Any suggestions to what blessing to use with him?
This guy is so tragic that I used him as food. I have uncommons that hit harder and last longer than this DUD
Character summary page needed for Deliana. Thanks.
I PUT HIM ALL ACCURACY 3X2
This guy kills me in the arena all the time. I cannot wait until I have a copy of him on my team.
Aleksandr is weak with the wrong equipment. There are certain attributes that gone in his abilities only gotten from certain higher up equipment. Again as with all Speed is important.
In some battles yes he does first but not until at least round 8 in clan boss on easy and round 5 on normal. He survives most campaign battles up to brutal 5-12
I say lod this guy with as much defense as you can – everyone wants to knock this champion down – gives your other, stronger mates an edge. He is the sacrificial lamb brought to slaughter, not a powerhouse by any means
i have put him in a Bloodthirst set and he just nukes, Hes only Level 50. F2P Player. he is good and doesnt deserve all the bad reviews 3.5/5
Passive ability idea:
Counter-Strike:
Whenever an enemy places debuffs from a multiple target ability on him or an ally, Aleksandr has a 65% chance to counter using A2. Whenever an enemy places debuffs from a single target ability on him or an ally, Aleksandr has a 65% chance to counter using A3. Will only counter once per enemy ability, regardless of how many allies, including himself, are affected by debuffs from that ability. Aleksandr will counter even if he is under Stun, Sleep, Provoke, Fear, True Fear, Freeze, Petrification, Block Active Skill and Block Passive Skills debuffs. Counters cannot be critical.
Bookable three times, for +5, +10 and +15 counterattack chance.
As an F2P, I like this character and think he is a good addition on a base level. However, the number of books may seem average to the Pay2Players, but this is extremely challenging for F2P’s. I like hearing players say when they maxed him out he plays well and hopefully I get that chance soon.
I currently have him at 5* in 2 sets Accuracy & 1 set Speed. All 5* Rare or higher at +12, working on +16. Full Masteries for a 5*. No books. Not sure why, but he still is not strong enough to stay alive long enough to be of much use. With one exception, he has been helpful on Doom Tower Floors, if the Affinity is strong. These comments are more for feedback to others comments and hopefully help future players as this tribal knowledge has been truly helpful for me.
I have been playing for nearly 2 years and I am now cannibalizing several characters simply just to level them up from 5* to 6*, and even 4* to 5*, just so I can then use them to create a 6*. I’m sure this is not normal for most as it doesn’t seem right to me.
Having been a previous Pay2Play user, I am tired of “investing” actual money and time into these characters. Soapbox down. Apologies.
Good luck to you all as you continue your enjoyment of the game. I will continue as well, grudgingly. 😉
Honestly I put poison gear on him and addition to his dmg he stacks poions. And his a2 is great for clean of of other enemies.
His A3 has been really helpful in Magic Keep, strips the shield and other buffs right off. Can’t really do it on auto though….. he will just use his A3 at the wrong time and completely defeat the purpose of him being there.
ho has good stats and multipliers. if they change his conditional effect to include more factions, that would be grate. specially since ogryn is probably imho, the weakest faction. I know that there are some great champions in there, but compared to Demonspawn, orcs or Dwarfs, they are nothing. excluding Big ‘Un, you don’t see other ogryn in arena.
When I got Ninja, I immediately raised him to 6*60 with no regrets, in spite of a number of players and ‘experts’ with their own YouTube channels calling him trash. After a couple of months, some of the same experts were calling him Awesome and change their rating to very high. I’ve no doubt that Aleksandr will not turn out as well as Ninja, but I have no regrets raising him to 6* also. He is symbiotic with my current crew, and raises the level for everyone.
Wipe the smirk off? I would if I could. Costume is terrible for my taste too. Same for Ninja’s Cobalt Blue outfit – to my knowledge Ninjas wear all black all the time, and masks!
In fact, that will solve the problem. Give both of them masks and improve their appearance 100%.
I am f2p, but I would pay for this. Really.
Love your ideas on how to buff this champ. I took him to 50 only because I give all epics and legendaries a try, but this champ didn’t wow me. Pretty average kit. I think you are right that he is not for endgame. Wasn’t the simple guy involved in his champs kit? Does he actually play the game? Maybe I’m wrong but I thought that they were. I know ninja is a masterpiece and I use him everywhere even though I have no shortage of legendaries. Super excited about the new fusion champ for this faction though. Tatura rimehide. But for this champ, unless he gets a buff, he gets no more love from me. Crazy to see the comments always about plarium and money grabs or the like. If the game were not well funded we would not have all the great updates and additional content. The game would die off. It’s a business. It’s not personal. And you don’t even have to spend to play. Pretty fair set up I would have to say.
@Ayumilove — small error in Aleksandr’s description: he takes 12 tomes, not 11.
As to whether he’s “garbage” — no, those who call him that have clearly not tried him. I have him at 5*50, and he’s a decent champ with good multipliers. I won’t put many books into him though because people are also correct that Warmaiden does DEF- just fine, and for a whole lot cheaper, so it makes no sense to book a non-Void Lego for DEF-.
I find faction-specific kits interesting in theory, but the game is overall not set up for it. If faction crypts had specific factions in them and some of my champs fighting in FW had special abilities against those champs, then this could be a cool facet of the game — when I started playing Raid I kind of expected that sort of setup. (Well, it could be cool if it wasn’t Plarium; they’d just turn it into another money grab, and this might indeed be a first feeler in that direction). As it is for now, Aleksandr is just a random outlier. His special abilities might be useful against tanky teams in Arena (a lot of which have Orcs/Ogryn in them); I’ll be checking into that, but as an F2P player I don’t ever have the resources to experiment much in this game. He’s a good, free addition to his faction for my baby account for now; I don’t expect him to scale for long, but he’s not useless.
Stage 13 crypt, had trouble getting 3 stars but this guy just got this no probs. I had 1x lvl60 Apothecary, 2x lvl50 Elhain, 1x lvl50 Vergis and 1x lvl50 Reliquary. Replaced one of the Elhains with barely equipped lvl32 Alex and boom, breeze through. Does “better than Elhain” mean something? Works for me…
@Nik: Take the in-game ratings with a grain of salt. They’re all over the map. Some of them are spot on, some of them are way off base … and in both directions!
You’ll get a much clearer picture here, and also at Hell Hades’ site if you’re not familiar with that one as well.
Both are fantastic resources that every RAIDer should avail themselves of.
OK, I see comments all over the map, and can’t resist weighing in after leveling this guy up to 50, equipping him with decent gear, and putting him through his paces.
Is he among the most useful/powerful Legendaries in the game … definitely not. Think mid-tier Epic — which, by the way, is where MANY Legendaries fit in. He is BY FAR not among the worst. I think there’s a natural tendency to compare him to Ninja, and that may not be unfair due to the comparable circumstances … but Ninja is FREAKING AWESOME! There are tons of useful Legendary champs that aren’t as good as he is. If that’s your standard for a decent Leggo, you’ll be disappointed by most of your pulls. And he was also GIVEN to us for free, remember?
Will he/should he be your “go to” Defense Down champ (as that tends to be the thing that people pick on) … certainly not. Farm the Deadlands for Warmaiden til you’re blue in the face. Free books, and her DD skill scales to 100% when you fully book it. This isn’t his place, and I don’t think it was ever intended to be.
Also, the whole idea of Faction specific skills is a stinker that needs to be nipped in the bud. Nuff said!
On the other hand …
A 50% chance to freeze on an A1 is nothing to scoff at. This was game changing for me in FW 19 and FW 20, and is even more useful at lower levels (I’ve leveled him on my FTP as well). This alone (and significantly better base stats) makes him more useful than the likes of Sniper (that comment was really a stretch) or any Rare ATK champ. Again, he fits in here somewhere among the Epics that are actually playable. The A2 is handy in FW as well, but outside of the faction there’s plenty of champs that can do that job as well or better without wasting Legendary books — so don’t do it!
And let’s not gloss over his A3! With proper CR and CD, that skill hits EXTREMELY hard! And it’s a great counter to a couple of Ogryn menaces in the Arena, namely Skullcrusher and Maneater … both of whom are absolutely decimated by this skill because it removes the buffs first.
Overall, he’s typical of most Epic (and even Legendary) ATK champions. Give him a proper build (at least 200-250ish SPD, 100% CR and at least 150% CD) and he’ll hit hard for you. But the only thing that really makes him stand out is the Freeze, and he needs ACC to land that, so not the easiest champ to gear. Also, his AoE skill is good, not great. So the same gear on a different champ might produce a better nuker if that’s what you’re looking for. Still, a fantastic addition to an Early or Mid Game account. He was a huge boost to my FTP.
Is he end game viable? … probably not. I may eventually take him to 60 because I tend to do that with just about every champ worth playing. But he certainly isn’t among my top priorities to do so, and he’ll never see a Legendary book on my account unless he gets a buff. He’s definitely a part of my FW 21 team though, and that’s saying something.
Speaking of which … good job on the buff suggestions. Some of those sound really interesting. One can only hope.
mz 1 st comm here even i am almost dailz, i apriciate zours work lots. Strange in game Alks is hardly ranked 2 on scale 1/5
@CPete22 my comments about speaking before actually receiving him was based on the fact that from day one of release it took seven days at the earliest to acquire him. Your comments and those of others, were there before the expiry of those seven days so I did not see how you could talk from experience of this specific character, kitting him out, leveling up, trying out and so forth. If somehow you had already acquired him before then, then my apologies. If not, then I still do not see how you can talk from the experience of using this character.
Based on your comments and those of the others I was expecting him to be ‘garbage’ but was quite surprised how well he performed, hence my comments, based on experience. If, in the passage of time, he proves to be ‘garbage’ then so be it.
Regarding the monetary cost, they have a package deal for $80, which is meant to support this new character. Now of course all the items can actually used for some other character(s), but to some it might be enticing.
After reading the reviews on this character, it is definitely not worth the money to progress him. Letting him naturally build out as a 5*50 with no books sounds like the sensible thing to do, unless you are a big time Pay2Play.
I started a F2P account and I am glad to have seen the notes before going overboard. I am stuck at the mid-game level so maybe he will help get through some of the progressions. Time will tell.
Thanks to you all for the comments and keep up the great work @ayumilove.
What makes you think we spoke without knowledge? Maybe don’t be so bold as to think you earned him before the rest of us. I stand by my “moaning” comment and I believe it’s well backed up by the fact there are almost 6000 ratings that give an average of 2.5 out of 5 stars. He’s a turd of a character, smirks like an idiot, and isn’t as good as some of my lesser used Rares.
I see the delayed posting is working well again, disappointingly.
Well, in spite of all the pre-emptive bad comments before anybody had received this guy, I earned him at the earliest opportunity. I have kitted him out in Lifesteal and Perception and raised him to level 32 and sent him into FW. Well, he fires his bow like a machine gun and takes out the enemies and they are not Orcs or Ogryn Kind. So far so good, kills well and is first to do so even when not in position #1. I have not booked him but if he keeps this up I may consider it. Better than a Rare or an Epic so far so I don’t yet see what the moaners are complaining about. Try before you speak I think. I would not comment without experience first as it has no value in my opinion. He is doing ok so far, now to try him out in other places.
Hallo,
Leute , ein Legendärer Champion für Null zu bekommen und dann noch meckern , spielt Halma.
Well, in spite of all the pre-emptive moaning by people who have not yet actually got this guy, I have at the earliest opportunity from release earned him. Kitted him out with Lifesteal and Perception and so far so good. After being set up for an anti-climax I was pleasantly surprised at how good he is. I never comment before I have tried as that comment has no value. I have not booked him and I have started him at level 32. He fires arrows like a machine gun and slays the enemies quite happily and so far is proving to be ok. I may even consider booking him if I think it worth it to have a Lego booked rather than redundant. I guess if you have a lot of Lego’s already who are better you may be disappointed, but if not, then he is better that a Rare or an Epic in my opinion. So far so good, I will be interested to see how he gets on.
someone please wipe that stupid grin off his face
Totally agree on your improvement Ideas. At the moment he is shadowed even by (good) epic AOE Decrease Defense Champions like Tyrel, Dukk or Madamme, let alone legendaries.
The skill improvements against Orcs and Ogryns is a nice idea, but way to narrow and therefore basically useless in the game. I like the idea to make it count at least against all of the Gaellen Pact factions. In Fact I would suggest to go even further and apply it againt all “evil” factions and include the Corrupted Factions as well.
Legendary Champ?…..More like Legendary Chump! He’s less valuable than the Uncommon Champ Sniper. Total throw away…..total garbage.
He seems very lackluster. There are rare better than him. Using him in FW if you don’t have better but otherwise put him in your vault.
If this whole “special against faction A/B but not others” trend keeps on, it’s going to get ridiculous. I know it means they can pump tons of new champs in for people to chase and spend $$ on while doing the math of “ooh.. this team is strong against spirit Orcs/Ogryn, but weak against force orc/ogryn so I need to gear up a spirit-based orc-killer team to kill those particular orcs”… it’s a whole new multiplier to the teams needed to keep up with the game. :-/
He’s honestly nothing better than rare. This is laughable.
If anyone is reading this as a new player, DO NOT SPEND BOOKS ON HIM!
Rather use a champion like warmaiden cause she is easy to book, but with alexsandr you have to use legendary books on him, and even with his A2 fully booked he’s still only mediocre.
In my opinion this is just a move made by raid, so the new players who don’t know the game will spend every lego book on him they find.
Garbage champ. If multipliers were insane then he would atleast be worth something, but they’re only decent.
Not even sure he deserves to be ranked B, he shouldn’t even be a legendary in the first place.
Garbage.
I really don’t see myself putting any books into him. There are Rare’s that have more utility.
@Juan Miguel Mallare: He is currently Rank B in the overall tier list. Kindly clear the browser cache to view the latest changes.
How is he A tier on the tier list?
garbage
What a garbage champ, he’s basically a Rare that uses Lego books.
