Raid Shadow Legends is a turn-based, fantasy-themed, role-playing gacha game, which can be played on mobile, PC, and MAC. Players will need to assemble a team of champions to battle against the enemy. There are 12 Campaign Stages with storyline, 4 Dungeon Keeps to farm potions to ascend champions and 4 Dungeon Bosses (Fire Knight, Spider, Ice Golem, Dragon) to farm powerful equipment, Minotaur’s Labyrinth to learn new masteries to customize champion based on your preference for a given role, and Clan Boss that you can earn amazing daily rewards.
Raid Shadow Legends Overview
Champions
There are over 860 champions in the game and each of them has a unique combination of rarity, affinity, and role. There are 5 Rarities (Legendary, Epic, Rare, Uncommon, and Common), 4 Affinities (Magic, Void, Spirit, Force), and 4 Roles (Attack, Defense, Support, HP) in Raid Shadow Legends! Affinity plays a big part in determining the success to win against the opponent! Magic is strong against Spirit, Spirit is strong against Force, Force is strong against Magic. Void is neutral, it has no strengths or weaknesses.
PvE Content
The Campaign Stages are divided into 4 parts (Normal, Hard, Brutal, Nightmare). Players will need to clear the Campaign stage to move on to the next stage and unlock a new storyline regarding Teleria’s future. Clan Boss is the big boss in Raid Shadow Legends where you farm skill tomes, summoning shards, and exclusive equipment daily along with your Clan members! There are 6 Clan Boss difficulties (Easy, Normal, Hard, Brutal, Nightmare, and Ultra Nightmare), and each higher difficulty grants better reward drops depending on the total damage dealt by your team! There is also Doom Tower (Normal and Hard) for mid~end game players where you can farm additional resources in-game.
PvP Content
There are 2 types of Arenas where you can battle against other players’ team champion setup! There is Classic Arena and Tag Team Arena. Classic Arena allows you to earn Bronze, Silver, and Gold medals. These medals are used to boost your overall champion’s stats via the Great Hall. Tag Team Arena is also known as 3v3 Arena enables you to farm Gold Bars that can be traded for other resources in the game such as Skill Tomes, Champion Fragments and Forge Materials.
Top 10 Do’s and Don’ts for RAID Beginners
By following the guidelines below, you will avoid making most of the common mistakes that beginners made.
Do’s
- Do dailies to earn the rewards.
- Invest in upgrading the champion’s equipment who can farm stages to level up your food
- Purchase the Gem Mine to earn gems to unlock Sparring Pit upgrades and Market slots.
- Get a 6 Star Champion as early as possible as it will help you greatly in all battles! Do not spread yourself too thin by leveling up multiple champions that you want to use but focus 1 at a time.
- Buy all the Mystery Shards from Market and save them for Champion Chase Tournament. You will need at least 1600 Mystery Shards to get the required champion for the Champion Fusion event.
- Buy all Uncommon and Common Champions from Market and use them as fodder instead of using Mystery Shards to save them for Champion Fusion Event.
- In early-mid game, focus on leveling up and booking champions who can help you in multiple areas in the game. Once you are in late-end game, then only prioritize champions who can help you unlock specific areas further.
Don’ts
- Don’t ever sacrifice your Void affinity champions, Epic-Legendary rarity champions unless there’s really a good reason for it such as leveling up Skills on a Champion you have duplicates of. The reason is, that it’s difficult to get Void, Epics, and Legendaries every day. In addition, that Champion might be useful for a particular challenge you’ll find yourself struggling at some point. If you found yourself some duplicate champions, allocate them into Faction Guardians to get bonus stats!
- Don’t invest heavily into your Common and Uncommon Champions early in the game. They generally won’t be able to perform as well as you need them to be. However, there are some exceptions to specific champions such as Armiger, Shieldguard, Outlaw Monk and Saurus.
- Do not keep energy overcapped when possible as this prevents energy from regenerating.
- Do not take certain rewards right away like Double XP, Energy Refill, Etc.
- Do not fight arena teams you are pretty sure you will lose.
- Do not fight the wrong difficulty clan bosses to avoid wasting keys.
- Do not join a clan that is way above your account progression as you may not reap the best clan boss rewards.
- Do not mindlessly adhering to content creators’ recommendations, as they might exaggerate the capabilities of specific champions. This could lead you to succumb to FOMO (fear of missing out), relentlessly pursuing fusion champions instead of focusing on leveling up your existing champions to accelerate your account’s progress. Instead, make your own judgment and assess how their advice aligns with your account’s needs and your own experiences.
How to progress quickly in Raid Shadow Legends?
- Equip your starting champion with LifeSteal set and Speed Set for better survivability.
- Get this champion to 6* and level up to Level 60 so he can help you clear all Campaign modes and farm Champion fodders.
- Get the basic masteries all level up to help boost this champion efficiency in clearing maps.
- Repeat Step 1-3 for 2 more champions who can assist you in clearing Clan Boss, Dungeon and Arena.
- With 3 6* Level 60 champions, start clearing Minotaur Stage 13 to get Giant Slayer or Warmaster mastery.
- Once you have done this, you can deal high damage to bosses in Dungeon and Clan Boss to reap better rewards.
- Repeat Step 4-5 for the remaining 2 champions so you can perform more efficiently in Dungeon, Clan Boss and Arena.
- Once your 5 core champions is made, you can blaze through all the content in-game in less than 2 months.
- All of this process will take approximately less than 6 months to complete as a F2P (Free to Play Player)
- It will be even faster for P2W (Pay 2 Win Players) depending on how much cash is spent to progress faster in-game.

Raid Shadow Legends List of Buffs and Debuffs
Buffs
- Ally Protection: The Caster Champion takes 25/50% of direct damage inflicted upon the Target Champion. Self-inflicted damage and Poison do not trigger this effect. Each Champion uses their respective DEF values for mitigating damage.
- Block Damage: Makes the Champion immune to all forms of damage.
- Block Debuffs: While this buff is active, the Champion is immune to all debuffs. Instant negative effect such as Decrease Turn Meter are not affected and work as normal.
- Bone Armor: A Champion starts each Round with a number of Bone Armor stacks. Each Bone Armor stack decreases the damage the recipient receives from a single hit, then disappears. A Champion can have a maximum of 3 Bone Armor stacks at one time.
- Continuous Heal: Heals the target Champion by 7.5/15% of their MAX HP at the beginning of their Turn.
- Counterattack: When attacked, the Champion with this buff strikes back at their attacker using their Default Skill. This attack deals 75% of the normal Default Skill damage. Can only counterattack once when attacked with a Multi-hit Skill. Does not counterattack in response to the enemy’s own counterattack. Does not count as a Turn. If the Champion who has Counterattack buff and has default skill that grants Extra Turn upon killing an enemy (e.g. Relickeeper), that Champion will not gain Extra Turn during the Counterattack session.
- Increase ACC is a buff that increases ACC of the recipient. Can increase ACC by 25% or 50%.
- Increase ATK: Increases the Champion’s Battle ATK (current ATK value, all other effects taken into account) by 25/50%
- Increase C.RATE: Increases the Champion’s C.RATE by 15/30%
- Increase C.DMG is a buff that increases the Critical Damage dealt to the recipient. Can increase the damage inflicted by 15% or 30%.
- Increase DEF: Increases the Champion’s Battle DEF by 30/60%
- Increase SPD: Increases the Champion’s Battle SPD by 15/30%
- Lightning Orb (Blessing): Whenever an enemy receives a buff or has their Turn Meter filled, places one Lightning Orb stack on this Champion. When activated, a Lightning Orb stack randomly protects one other active buff from being removed, stolen, or transferred. After activation, the Lightning Orb stack disappears. A Champion can have a maximum of 3 Lightning Orb stacks at one time. Whenever a Champion with 3 Lightning Orb stacks hits enemy targets, inflicts Bonus Damage to them based on their MAX HP. Bonus Damage can occur on each hit of a Skill, but does not count as an extra hit. After the Bonus Damage is applied, all active Lightning Orb stacks are removed from this Champion.
- Perfect Veil: A more powerful version of Veil which works as same as Veil except you do not lose the buff when attacking or dealing damage to an enemy Champion. Perfect Veil reduces incoming AoE damage by 15%.
- Reflect Damage: Any Champion attack a target with this buff will sustain 15/30% of the damage they inflicted with the attack.
- Revive On Death: If a Champion with this buff dies, he or she will immediately be revived with 30% HP and 0% Turn Meter.
- Shield: The Champion’s HP bar is reinforced for X Turns with a Shield effect. Damage is calculated normally but is first applied to the Shield (unless the attack ignores Shields, which is stated in the Skill description). When the buff expires or Shield value reaches 0, the Shield is removed and further damage applies as normal. Note: damage dealt to the shield does not count as damage dealt to the Champion, so effects such as Lifesteal do not benefit from it.
- Stone Skin: Stone Skin buff decreases the damage (except the damage received from Bombs and HP Burn), removes all debuffs except Bombs and HP Burn, gives Immunity to all debuffs except Bombs and HP Burn. Also, it gives additional Stone Skin HP. A Champion with the Stone Skin is immune to the Decrease MAX HP and Decrease Turn Meter Effects.
- Strengthen is a buff that decreases the damage inflicted on the recipient. Can decrease the damage taken by 15% or 25%.
- Unkillable: The Champion with this buff cannot fall below 1 HP for the entirety of its duration.
- Veil: Champions under [Veil] buffs are unable to be targeted by the enemy team. However, Champions under [Veil] can still be hit with AoE attacks or attacks that hit random enemies. Champions will lose their [Veil] buff when they attack an enemy Champion. However, Champions under [Veil] can use Skills that do no damage to the enemy without losing the buff — like buffing their own team, or applying debuffs to the enemy team with Skills that don’t deal damage. If all Champions on a team are under either [Veil] or [Perfect Veil] buffs, it will be ineffective. The enemy team will be able to target each Champion directly as if no [Veil] buffs were present. If only one Champion remains on a team, and they are under either a [Veil] or [Perfect Veil] buff, it will be ineffective. The enemy team will be able to target the Champion directly as if no [Veil] buffs were present. Veil reduces incoming AoE damage by 7.5%.
- Taunt is a buff that forces enemies to attack the Taunting Champion. It’s great against single-target nukers in both PvP and PvE, champions with crowd control debuffs on their basic abilities, champions who have Evil Eye mastery, or bosses with powerful single-target attacks. The Taunt buff can be stolen, removed, and decrease its duration. Petrification on the Taunting champions will also remove this buff. However, you cannot spread Taunt debuff and increase its duration. Provoke has priority over Taunt. A provoked champion will target the Champion who placed Provoke on them. If there are 2 champions with a Taunt buff, then the enemy can target either one. However, if one of them have Veiled buff , the one without Veil is targeted first.

Champions under Hex debuffs take 2% of AoE damage inflicted on their allies, and 10% of single—target damage inflicted on their allies. Champions under Hex debuffs only take extra damage from direct attacks on their allies, not lasting effects (like buffs or debuffs) – for example, damage from Poison, HP Burn, Bomb debuffs, Reflect Damage buffs, etc.
- HP Burn: While the debuff is active and at the start of the affected Champion’s turn, they and all their allies take damage equal to 3% of their respective MAX HP. There can be only one [HP Burn] debuff active of a Champion at a time.

- Leech: Any Champion that attacks a Champion with this debuff heals for 18% of inflicted damage.

Finally, while under a Petrification debuff, a Champion will only receive 40% of any incoming damage. However, incoming damage from Bomb debuffs is increased by 300%.
- Poison: Damages the target Champion by 2,5/5% of their MAX HP at the beginning of their Turn. This damage is not affected by any other effects and only scales in accordance with the Target’s MAX HP. Block Damage blocks it.

- Sleep: The Champion with this debuff is unable to act X Turns. Cooldowns are not refreshed while [Sleep] is active. Continuous Heal and Poison Effect work as normal while the Champion is debuffed with [Sleep], so do any Passive Skills that heal the Champion. Any incoming damage that the Champion receives automatically removes [Sleep].
- Seal: There are two versions of this debuff: Seal and Master Seal. The Seal debuff blocks effects from Gear Sets and Masteries, except stat boosts granted by artifacts and Accessories, as well as Masteries that only boost stats like Blade Disciple, Flawless Execution etc. Master Seal is an enhanced version of this debuff, which additionally blocks the effects from Blessings, except stat boosts. The Seal and Master Seal debuffs don’t block effects that were activated before these debuffs were placed.
