Raid: Shadow Legends, a widely acclaimed turn-based RPG, features an intriguing mechanic known as Champion Empowerment. For newcomers, mastering this system is essential to unlocking the full potential of your champions. In this guide, we’ll explore the nuances of empowerment, breaking down its components and explaining how it influences your overall gameplay experience. At its heart, Champion Empowerment allows you to elevate your champions beyond their default abilities. By investing in your favorite characters, you can significantly boost their strength, durability, and effectiveness in battle, making them even more formidable on the battlefield.
Raid Empowerment Champion List
Champions classified as Epic, Legendary, and Mythical can be Empowered up to four times, providing a significant boost to their stats. Empowerment requires duplicates of the same Champion, meaning you’ll need multiple copies of that specific character. However, some special Champions are unique and can only be obtained once, making it impossible to use their duplicates for Empowerment. Instead, these one-off Champions rely on duplicates of designated surrogate Champions for their upgrades. Below is a list of these unique Champions along with the corresponding surrogates required for their Empowerment:

There are 4 levels of empowerment, which means you need 4 copies of the same champion copy to upgrade the empowerment level! For time-limited champions and one-of-a-kind champion (e.g. Doom Tower, Faction Wars), they need a different champion copy to empower it!

For those having difficulty with having their guardians show up in the list of champions that are able to be empowered:
FIRST, if the champion has any copies that are selected as faction guardians, those copies will not show up. You need to remove the copy you want to empower as a faction guardian (temporarily) then empower it and then you can put it back as a faction guardian. Also remember to unlock the champions you are using to empower.
SECOND, if you are only seeing a legendary (or no champions at all) you need to click on the filter icon that is on the screen where you would normally see the champions you can empower. Check your settings. Mine was originally set to not show epics at all. It was also set to not include any champions that I had in the vaults. The filter icon is just up and to the left of the first champions slot on the champion empowerment page.
Just wanted to add additional note that the are not guardian champions
I have many duplicate epic champions that i am trying to empower but when i go to the empower menu they do not show up. not sure what I am doing wrong. My legendary champions gave me no trouble
To empower or set as faction guardian … what a dilemma
Has there ever been a numerical table that represents the quantity of points to get to next Player Power Level? I am at Player Power Level 84, at 99% with 3.66M points. How do I know what I need to get to reach Level 85?
If I use a champion that has blessings and the other is already at +1 due to a previous empowering, I will lose the three star blessing or the +1 depending upon who is empowered by who, correct?
Hola! Quería saber si mediadora se puede potenciar? Gracias 😊
My Aothar is +3, and I just draw another one. However, I cannot select the duplicate for empowerment. Anyone know the reason?
@Jay: I have added the missing champions He-Main, Skeletor, and Authoratrix Lamasu into the Empowerment Champion List. Thanks!
Don’t forget:
He-Man ← x4 Holsring
Skeletor ← x4 Teodor the Savant
They won’t show up in the empowerment area if they are faction guardians
Im sorry but this makes no sense! If I understand correctly, all epic can be empowered but some are one-offs. Problem is, I have epics, but none show up on my empowerment page. Only Ninja( yes I know he is lego) appears. What gives?
