   @Paul McGee: Your champion’s Accuracy is used to counter the enemies/target’s Resist when it attempts to inflict a debuff or instant negative effect. For example, assuming Warmaiden is fully booked (100% success rate to apply Decrease Defense) with very little Accuracy stat provided from her equipment and Great Hall Bonuses, when you use her in high difficulty stages of dungeons to apply Decrease Defense debuff, you will notice the word “Resisted” pops up on the enemies. This means that the enemy’s resist is able to prevent from receiving your champion’s debuff as Warmaiden’s Accuracy is low.

   A different analogy to explain this is, think of Accuracy is the agility of the person. If the attacker has lower the agility when attacking the defender who possess higher agility, then the attack is meaningless as the defender will always have an upper hand in dodging the attack regardless of the number of times the attacker swings his sword.

   However, in RAID Shadow Legends game mechanics, you can’t 100% guarantee preventing or inflicting the debuff. There is a 3% cap in place for both attacker and defender. If you have 100 more Accuracy stat than the Defender, there is a 3% chance of the Defender is able to resist the debuff. This same applies for the attacker where he has a 3% chance to inflict a debuff to the Defender if the Defender has 100 more Resist to counter the Attacker’s accuracy. This 3% cannot be overriden unless the debuff skill mentioned is unresistable.

   If the debuff skill’s description mentions its unresistable but it deals damage, then it’s a different game mechanics applies, where if the target/enemy who is receiving the debuff receives damage as a Weak Hit, then the debuff will not be applied! Ghostborn has a skill that places AoE Decrease Defense debuff which is unresistable, but using him against Strong Affinity (Magic Affinity) champions, then the debuff might not land due to weak hits.

   Is there any reason to have high accuracy for the Warmaiden’s 60% [Decrease DEF] debuff, since it is 100% chance? The poison, of course, but that’s such a minimal part of her kit that I think it’s almost irrelevant. All the work you’ve put into this site is much appreciated, Ayumilove. Thank you.

   @Diablo209: The larger version of the debuff “60% Decrease Defense” will override the “30% Decrease Defense”.
4. Ayumilove Post authorJune 28, 2021 at 10:33 PM

   @darkmie: Bystophus is now available in the Decrease Defense list!
5. Diablo209 June 15, 2021 at 11:23 PM

   Can 2 different champions place a %60 Def Debuff or can the target only be affected by one Def Debuff?
6. darkmie May 13, 2021 at 8:40 AM

   Bystophus?

   @HustokrutorCZ: Only the strongest debuff (60% Decrease Defense debuff) version will override the weakest debuff version (e.g. 30% Decrease Defense debuff). These debuff cannot stack with one another.
8. HustokrutorCZ March 13, 2021 at 4:13 PM

   Hello, I wonder, if both versions u can place at the same time, i mean from 2 champs, so the enemy have 90% decrease DEF ??

14. Iliyanna November 10, 2020 at 10:28 AM

    Suwai Firstborn has 60% decrease defense on her A1
15. Dezso Schaap July 27, 2020 at 6:03 PM

    Galkut does 60% not 30%. Could have been a buff at some point.
16. Ayumilove Post authorMay 10, 2020 at 5:53 PM

    @JP, @Aleksey, @Chris: I have added Stag Knight into the Decrease Defense 60% AoE
17. Ayumilove Post authorMay 10, 2020 at 5:53 PM

    @Baron Mendavia: I have added Fencer into the Decrease Defense 30% AoE
18. Ayumilove Post authorMay 10, 2020 at 5:49 PM

    @CyberThrall: I have updated the Decrease Defense Skill champion list by sub-categorizing it into 3 parts (AoE, Target, Random).
    1. AoE refers to applying the debuff to all enemies.
    2. Target refers to applying the debuff to a specific target.
    3. Random refers to applying the debuff to a random target.
19. CyberThrall May 8, 2020 at 6:43 PM

    Thanks for this list, and all your great work. It would be brilliant if you added a sub-category to the skill lists which made it evident which champs have the skills as AoE versions of these skills from this page, is that possible?
20. Baron Mendavia April 30, 2020 at 10:40 PM

    Missing Fencer, for what it’s worth …
21. JP April 30, 2020 at 7:36 PM

    Stag knight is not listed here.
22. Chris April 24, 2020 at 8:14 AM

    I believe stag knight has decrease defense as well
23. Aleksey March 27, 2020 at 4:01 PM

    Stag Knight is totally forgotten
24. Ayumilove Post authorMarch 7, 2020 at 8:53 PM

    @thomas: Thanks! Hexia has been added into the Decrease Defense 60% champion list!
25. Ayumilove Post authorMarch 7, 2020 at 8:52 PM

    @Union: Thanks! Dark Athel has been added into the Decrease Defense 60% champion list!
26. Union February 27, 2020 at 2:52 AM

    Dark Athel has a 40% chance of applying a 60% decrease defense debuff on the enemy with her A1 (profane glaive) but she’s not on this list.
27. thomas February 14, 2020 at 10:19 AM

    hexia is a 60% defense decrease now
    you still have her as a 30%
28. Ayumilove Post authorJanuary 28, 2020 at 8:55 PM

    @LonkiSolomki: Assuming the champion has 100 Defense Stat and has both 50% Increase Defense and 60% Decrease Defense, it would be calculated as (100 x 1.5 x 0.4 = 60)
29. LonkiSolomki January 28, 2020 at 7:22 PM

    Is there any info about the the ‘defense increase’ and ‘defense decrease’ interaction? Does the ‘decreases total defense’ mean that their multipliers stack, i.e. characters under a 60% armor increase buff and a 60% armor decrease debuff would have 0.64 of the armor they initially had?
30. Bryan January 25, 2020 at 11:46 PM

    Dark Athel is a 60% (A1) Epic. 90-day login reward now.
31. Matthias Schuster January 12, 2020 at 6:42 PM

    Which are the Aoe’s?
