Raid Shadow Legends Champion Mastery Guide

Overview

Mastery scrolls are obtained by farming in Minotaur’s Labyrinth Dungeon.
Each champion can receive a maximum of 100 Basic Scrolls (5 Masteries), 600 Advanced Scrolls (6 Masteries) and 950 Divine Scrolls (4 Masteries).
Divine Scrolls can be obtained upon receiving all of the champion’s Advanced Scrolls.
Advanced Scrolls can be obtained after receiving all of the champion’s Basic Scrolls.
You can reset your masteries free once. After that, it will costs 150 gems per reset.
If you are early-mid game player, it’s worth investing 800 gems to fully max a Champion’s mastery. This investment should only be applied to a Level 60 Champion who you are going to use in all areas. This will help you boost your game progress significantly! Once you have at least 2 Champions with full masteries, you can start speed farming tomes in Minotaur’s Labryinth for your remaining champions!
It’s recommended to get a solid team of at least Level 50 champions before attempting this dungeon Stage 11~15 for best energy to scroll reward ratio.

Support Masteries

Icon	Tier 1 Support Mastery Description
	Steadfast Max HP + 810. This mastery is recommended for Support Champions who heals or cast shield based on their HP (Hit Points aka Health). Also, it’s recommended for Champion’s who does not provide any sort of debuff skills to the battle, but has skills to support in terms of healing, removing debuff or reviving fallen allies.
	Pinpoint Accuracy Acc + 10. This mastery is highly recommended for Champions who inflicts debuff. The more Accuracy stat a Champion has, the lower the chances it will be resisted by the enemy, allowing the debuff to be applied on them.
Icon	Tier 2 Support Mastery Description
	Lay on Hands Increases the value of heals this Champion casts by 5%. Excellent for Healing champions. This mastery does not increases the effectiveness of Healing Buffs such as Continous Healing buff.
	Shieldbearer Increases the value of [Shield] buffs this Champion casts by 5%. Excellent for Shield champions. The value it increases is multiplicative and not additive. Assuming your Champion casts a Shield buff on allies that equals to their 20% MAX HP, it’s basically 5% of 20% which is 21% in total.
	Exalt in Death Heals this Champion by 10% of their Max HP the first time an enemy is killed in each round. Similarly to Defense Tier 3 Mastery but does not require your champion to land a killing blow once per round. Great for Campaign solo farming champion. This mastery is not useful in battles that has only 1 battle round such as Spider’s Den Dungeon and Arena.

Icon	Tier 3 Support Mastery Description
	Healing Savior Increases the amount of healing and the value of [Shield] buffs placed by this Champion by 10% if the target ally has 40% HP or less. Excellent for Healing and Shield champions. This mastery does not increases the effectiveness of Healing Buffs such as Continous Healing buff.
	Rapid Response Has a 30% chance of increasing the Turn Meter by 10% when a buff cast by this Champion is removed or expires. Don’t take this mastery if you are running a Counterattack Team setup for Clan Boss because if Champion goes too fast, it will lose his counterattack buff.
	Swarm Smiter Increases Acc by 4 for each enemy alive. Stacks up to 16. Great for arena, decent elsewhere. Even on clan boss, this is a free 4 accuracy. Good if you have debuffs.
	Arcane Celerity Has a 30% chance of increasing the Turn Meter by 10% when a debuff cast by this Champion is removed or expires. If the enemy champion has a debuff and he/she is defeated before the debuff expires or removed, Arcane Celerity will not be triggered. In addition, Arcane Celerity effect will not be triggered for permanent debuff such as Block Revive as it stays on dead champions. Don’t take this mastery if you are running a Counterattack Team setup for Clan Boss because if Champion goes too fast, it will lose his counterattack buff. It is also recommended not to take Arcane Celerity mastery if the champion is capable of putting non-stackable debuff 100% uptime. With 100% uptime, the debuff will not expire on enemy, therefore rendering this mastery useless. The only stackable debuff in the game is Poison debuff.
Icon	Tier 4 Support Mastery Description
	Merciful Aid Increases the amount of healing and the value of [Shield] buffs placed by this Champion by 15% if the target ally has [Stun], [Sleep], [Fear], [True Fear] or [Freeze] debuffs.
	Cycle of Magic Has a 5% chance of decreasing the cooldown of a random skill by 1 turn at the start of every turn.
	Lore of Steel Increases the Set Bonuses of Basic Artifact Sets by 15%. This increase is multiplicative, not additive. The bonus is only applicable to Set effect that applies boost to your Champion’s stat. For example, if you equipped your Champion with 1 Divine Speed Set that grants 12% Speed Bonus and 15% Shield of Champion’s MAX HP, the Lore of Steel 15% is applied to the 12% Speed Bonus only which is equivalent to 12 x 1.15 = 13.8% but Shield will remain as 15%. This restriction is also applied to other special sets such as Freeze, Stun, Retaliation, etc which Lore of Steel will not boost its success rate for it to occur more frequently.
	Evil Eye Decreases the target’s Turn Meter when this Champion hits target for the first time with the default skill. Decreases the Turn Meter by 20% with single-target Skills and by 5% with AoE Skills. Do take note that this effect will still apply regardless your Champion uses the other special abilities first before their default skill. This is very useful especially for single-target A1 (first ability) attacker Champions compared to AoE (Area of Effect) attacker Champions since it decreases enemies Turn Meter much more. A must have for Champions that are specialized for Arena. Evil Eye does not work on some bosses such as Clan Boss.
Icon	Tier 5 Support Mastery Description
	Lasting Gifts has a 30% chance to extend the duration of any buff cast by this Champion by 1 turn. It will not extend [Block Damage], [Unkillable] or [Revive on Death] buffs. Useful for most support Champions.
	Spirit Haste Increases SPD by 8 for each dead ally. Stacks up to 24. This is a unique skill specialized for farmer, tankers or Champions who can revive dead allies in battle.
	Sniper Increases the chances of placing any debuff from Skills or Artifacts by 5%. It will not increase the chances of placing [Stun], [Sleep], [Freeze] or [Provoke] debuffs. Useful for Champions that are equipped with debuff equipment such as Toxic Set (Poison) and Cursed Set (Healing Reduction) or improve the success rate of debuff skills other than Crowd Control skills. To determine whether Sniper mastery works on a particular skill is to look at the skill upgrade description. If the skill upgrade displays Buff/Debuff Chance +x% per skill level up, Sniper Mastery effect applies. There is an exception to certain skills such as Sniper Mastery does not work with Increase Debuff Duration, Remove Buff, Steal Buff or any skills that does not show a Debuff icon on enemies.
	Master Hexer Has a 30% chance to extend the duration of any debuff cast by this Champion by 1 turn. It will not extend [Stun], [Sleep], [Freeze] or [Provoke] debuffs. This mastery is suitable for Champions that can apply DoTs (Damage over Time) such as Poison and HP Burn or debuffs that decreases enemy performance such as Decrease Attack, Decrease Defense, Decrease Speed, Weaken. Master Hexer does not apply any effect on Debuff Extensions aka Increase Debuff Duration.
Icon	Tier 6 Support Mastery Description
	Elixir of Life Max HP + 3000. This mastery is recommended for Support Champions who are mainly used in Arena (Gold~Platinum) or Faction Wars who heals or cast shield on allies based on their HP (Hit Points aka Health).
	Timely Intervention Increases this Champions’ Turn Meter by 20% whenever an ally hero drops below 25% HP. This mastery is recommended for Support Champions who are mainly used in Arena (Gold~Platinum) or Faction Wars. It boost the champion’s Turn Meter whenever an ally HP drops at critical level or zero, therefore, enable him/her to take his turn to perform healing or revive dead allies.
	Oppressor Increases the Turn Meter fill rate by 2.5% for each active debuff cast by the Champion. Stacks up to 10%. This mastery is not recommended for any champion’s as it depends on the enemies speed to boost the debuff caster champion’s Turn Meter. If the enemy who has the debuff has a low speed, you will not reap any Turn Meter boost benefits from the enemy. Additionally, the Turn Meter boost is very little to make any differences to the caster.
	Eagle Eye Accuracy +50. This mastery is recommended for Support Champions who are mainly used in Arena (Gold~Platinum) or Faction Wars. It boost the champion’s Accuracy to inflicts debuff on enemies especially the one’s possessing high resist stat to either crowd control them or enable the next team member to perform the killing blow.

@Dodong

I would use the 800 gems on Kael or Elhain as they will both help you progress in multiple areas of the game. I used Elhain as my starter champ, she was tremendous to my growth along with Kael when I got him. They are good utility champs.
red 001 November 10, 2020 at 7:28 AM

excellent job here, thank you very much, your guide helps a lot.
Dodong November 1, 2020 at 5:20 PM

Hi Ayumilove. First of all, thanks a bunch for all the effort you put into these guides. Much appreciated, truly, especially to F2P new casual players like me.

I just want your input on my dilemma, since I’m planning to 800 gem Max masteries one of my champion, which would then be my first Max-mastery champion if ever. I’m having difficulties choosing which one of them to Max out. Here are a quick list of my “useful” champions so far.

No legendary champions yet.

EPIC: Ultimate Galek, Relickeeper, High Khatun, Jizoh, Sepulcher Sentinel, Bushi, Catacomb Councilor, Rearguard Sergeant, Shaman, Ripper

Rare: Kael, Elhain

Since it would be a hard decision for me to spend my saved up Gems for this, an insightful input from you would be well appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Giant Slayer HP percentage points are incorrect. 7.5% and 3% are the correct stats I believe.
Ayumilove Post authorOctober 4, 2020 at 11:35 AM

@Gaz Mon:
For Question 1: If the champion already has max masteries, he will not take any scrolls away from the champion that needs it.
For Question 2: If the champion has completed obtaining 100 Basic Scrolls, he will then receive Advanced Scrolls only from Dungeons stages that provides it which is above Dungeon Stage 6 to 15. Don’t farm lower stages of Minotaur as the energy to tomes ratio is very low. Go for the highest stage if you are able to make it as it will save considerable amount of energy.
Gaz Mon October 4, 2020 at 11:11 AM

First, THANKS ayumilove for the huge amount of effort you have put into helping Raid players! I probably would have quit this game entirely after a week or 2 without the benefit of your site.

A couple big questions about gaining Mastery Scrolls from the Minotaur’s Labyrinth.

(1) If I use a champion who has full masteries in the Minotaur’s Labyrinth (to help farm), will any scrolls be “won” by them – effectively taking scrolls away from a champion who actually needs them?

(2) If I have a champion who has received and used the initial 100 Basic Scrolls, will they only receive Advanced scrolls (assuming I’m in a dungeon level where those are available)?
