Faction Wars Hard Guide | Raid Shadow Legends

Faction Wars Hard Guide | Raid Shadow Legends Faction Crypt Boss
Faction Wars just got tougher with the introduction of Hard Mode in Raid Shadow Legends in Patch 10.45! In this mode, you’ll raid each Faction’s Crypt to earn high-value rewards, including Rank 6 Rare, Epic, and Legendary Glyphs, along with Spiteful Remains used for crafting powerful relics. Take note that you need to complete Faction Wars Normal difficulty to access Faction Wars Hard difficulty, ensuring only the most skilled players can take on these heightened challenges. Each stage features its own set of challenge conditions, such as completing the fight with all five champions surviving. You’ll earn stars based on your performance, and collecting all 3 stars in every stage across all Crypts unlocks the exclusive Mythical Champion, Polara Fireheart. Track your star progress through the bar at the bottom of the Faction Wars interface.

Don’t forget to head over to the Forge and put your Spiteful Remains to good use by crafting powerful Faction Wars relics, including the Torch of Thralldom, Mind of Marquaat, Eternal Soulgaol, The Collective, Hammer of Ending, Perched Shadow, and Codex Luminis. These game-changing items could be the key to dominating the battlefield!

List of Challenges by Faction

Faction Wars Hard Challenges Guide

How can you effectively spread Provoke debuffs across the battlefield?

Deploy champions with innate Provoke abilities or equip them with the Taunting Set to disrupt enemies and draw their attention strategically.

What’s the best way to apply Poison debuffs efficiently?

Leverage champions skilled in Poison application or outfit them with the Toxic Set to steadily drain your enemies health over time.

What tactics ensure successful Stun debuff placement?

Utilize champions who specialize in stunning enemies or arm them with the Stun Set to lock down key targets and control the fight.

How can you avoid landing weak hits on enemies?

Use Void affinity champions, equip non-Void affinity champions with Affinitybreaker Set, or carefully avoid attacking enemies with an affinity advantage over your team to maintain strong, impactful blows.

How do you keep all your champions alive throughout the stage?

Bring a reviver champion to resurrect fallen allies or bolster survivability with defensive buffs like Increase Defense, Shields, Strengthen, and Ally Protection. Equip Guardian and Bolster Sets to redirect damage to your HP tank champions or rely on healers to keep your team at full health.

What’s the secret to avoiding more than 10 debuffs on your team?

Build a high-resistance team to shrug off enemy debuffs, apply Block Debuff buffs to prevent afflictions, and use Resistance Aura to boost your champions’ resistance stat. Alternatively, crowd-control enemies to stop them from casting debuffs altogether.

How can you reduce enemy HP by a specific threshold using skills?

Unleash damage dealers capable of ignoring enemy defenses or dealing damage based on the Enemy’s MAX HP. Equip them with artifact sets like Lethal, Savage, or Merciless to enhance their destructive potential, and amplify their output with the Helmsmasher mastery for maximum impact.
