Raid Shadow Legends HP Burn is a skill that applies HP Burn debuff on an enemy, so they receive damage upon starting their turn. HP Burn debuff is similar to Poison debuff but with a special condition. HP Burn debuff damage all enemies on the battlefield and the champion can only apply 1 HP Burn debuff. HP Burn debuff and Poison debuff is commonly used against Clan Boss and Dungeon Boss (especially Spider’s Den Dungeon Boss with her spiderling minions) as it’s based on their ENEMY MAX HP. This skill is great for Champion’s that does not deal much raw damage. Take note that Rare champions deal 50K damage from HP Burn per turn, while Epic and Legendary champions deal 75K damage from HP burn per turn.
HP Burn FAQ
How does HP Burn works?
When an enemy who has an HP Burn debuff takes his turn, he and his allies will take HP Burn damage. The HP Burn damage is calculated based on each champion’s MAX HP. HP Burn damage ignores defense also known as Pure Damage. Hence, HP Burn debuff is amazing against high Health and Defense champions as it deals damage consistently regardless of the amount of Health and Defense they might have. This makes HP Burn debuff one of the most sought-after skills to dominate higher difficulty content such as Stage 16~25 Dungeons and Doom Tower Hard.
Does HP Burn stacks on enemies?
HP Burn debuff does not stack similarly to Poison debuff. It will be replaced by the new HP Burn debuff if it has a higher amount of debuff duration on the targeted enemy! When the HP Burn debuff is successfully replaced, the champion who applies the new HP Burn debuff will be the owner of the debuff. Hence, it’s recommended not to pair 2 HP Burn debuffer champions on the same team if they have a skill condition that only activates if they are the HP Burn debuff owner such as Geomancer.
What is Activate HP Burn Skill?
Activate HP Burn is a new skill recently introduced in 2021 to allow champions to activate the HP Burn debuff on enemies, so they instantly receive HP Burn damage without requiring them to take their turn! This skill synergizes with Increase Debuff Duration where players can stack up a high amount of debuff duration and activate them to deal a massive amount of damage! It’s one of the best ways to take down bosses quickly apart from activating Poison debuffs
How does Activate HP Burn work?
Activate HP Burn debuff reduces the HP Burn debuff duration by 1 and instantly deals damage on the enemy without having them take their turn. Assuming the enemy has 3 turns of HP Burn debuff duration and you use a champion such as Sicia the Flametongue to perform AoE Activate HP Burn debuff, it forces the HP Burn debuff to tick once on all enemies to receive HP Burn damage! This also results in the HP Burn debuff duration reducing from 3 to 2 instantly. If you perform AoE Activate HP Burn debuff on the enemies in Spider’s Den, 10 spiderlings, and the boss each with the HP Burn debuff will take 11 instant ticks of HP Burn damage, which is 33% MAX HP Burn damage for 11 burns at 3% each. If you use Ninja to activate the HP Burn, he will only activate it 3 times since he hits 3 times with his skill (only works on boss), while Sicia the Flametongue activates up to 11 times with her skill as it’s based on the number of enemies in the battlefield.
HP Burn Types
HP BurnWhile 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. However, if multiple Champions on the Team are debuffed with [HP Burn], all of these debuffs work as normal and apply their full damage. |

@nswhorse: I have added Teodor the Savant to the HP Burn activator champion. Thanks!
Why is Teodor the Savant not listed as an HP Burn activator?
@Mark: It’s worth getting him since he is viable to clear Doom Tower Hard boss floors such as Nether Spider and Frost Spider.
@Iss: I’ll include Hurndig into the HP Burn list and update Gronjarr from Target to AoE HP Burn 🙂
@CptBalu87: Teumesia’s passive skill has a dependency on HP Burn debuff. Whenever there is HP Burn debuff on any ally or enemy, she is immune to all crowd control abilities.
Although Teumesia A2 has a part which depends on enemy TM, the HP Burn itself is not depending on anything, suggest moving to normal AoE section.
@Ayumilove Hurndig is not on the list. Gronjarr is aoe hp burn, not single target.
Is getting Drexthar Bloodtwin worth it if I already have Akoth and Mordecai??? Which I don’t like Mordecai all that much I think over hyped .
Need to update Cupidus.
@WileyMan: I have added Walking Tomb Dreng, Cupidus, Kyoku, and Skraank. Thanks for your input!
Also thanks to @Charleh, @Phil, @Koax, and @chelydra for your inputs 🙂
@Ayumi: When you have a chance to update this page:
For Legos: Dreng has unresistable AOE HPB on A2 and HPB Activation on A1; Cupidus has been updated to have AOE HPB on A2 and conditional AOE HPB on A3, and Kyoku has conditional AOE HPB on A2.
For Epics: Skraank has AOE HPB on A3.
Thanks for all your work.
Shizukuishi: I believe the point Ayumi is trying to make is that HP Burns debuffs do not stack (like poison), and each champion can only have one HPB on them at a time.
You forgot Kyoku – the best Shadowkin AOE HP burn champion in the game!
I got the Epic Skraank. His A3 ‘Unleash Havoc’ has AoE HP Burn.
Walking Tomb Dreng needs to be added to this list when you get the chance.
Jotun’s A3 has HP Burn dependency.
Crypt King Graal doesn’t have a target HP Burn ability. You have it right with him at the top of the AoE HP Burn list, though.
Matter of fact, with AOE HP burns, champions have the ability to place multiple HP burns in one turn. Thus, “…and champion can only apply 1 HP Burn debuff.” should be completely removed as it is no longer true.
“HP Burn debuff damage all enemies in the battlefield and champion can only apply 1 HP Burn debuff.”
Please update this. I just fought against a Legendary Champion who allied HP burn to 3 our of 4 of my champions. Perhaps it should read “…champions can only apply 1HP Burn debuff per turn.”
Achak the Wendarin is not on the dependant HP Burn list.
Goulish dude has 30% * 3 attacks HP on his a3
Your website is my #1 reference to the game, thanks!
pg hp burn per grifone celestiale
@Gila Monster: Crypt-King Graal is added to the AoE HP Burn list!
@courageouslio: I have added Magnarr to the HP Burn dependent list!
@WileyMan: Drexthar Bloodtwin is added to the HP Burn passive list. Thanks!
Drexthar needs to be added to the HP Burn Passive List.
magnarr is hp burn dependant
Crypt-King should be updated on this list. He has AOE HP Burn now.
@sw: HP Burn debuff does not stack similarly to Poison debuff. It will be replaced by the new HP Burn debuff if it has higher amount of debuff duration! I would not recommend pairing Geomancer with Ninja as it will conflict with one another on the HP Burn debuff ownership!
Does HP burn stacks? I’ve noticed in some discussion that someone argued that Geomancer will do less damage if HP burn is replaced by one from other champion. That make me wonder if it would make sense to have Geomancer and Ninja on the same team, or if sereral HP burners on the team make sense.
@Absoloote: I have removed Sicia Flametongue from HP Burn (Target). Thanks!
i believe you have sicia in the wrong category as she does a AoE HP burn effect and not a single target
@Boz: I have added Hurndig to the HP Burn (AoE) champion list! Thanks for highlighting it.
@Swannky: I have added Teumesia to the HP Burn champion list. Thanks! The e-mail pop up I think is due to the website caching issue.
Add Teumesia?
And…someone else’s email popped up autofilled which is weird.
Just want to mention that in addition to the target Hurndig will also burn for 2 turns every enemy that has less than 30% turn meter.
@Brookie: I have added a list of champions who can perform HP Burn instantly under the HP Burn (Activate) section!
Do you know champions deal damage from all hp burns instantly?
@Tyler Henderson: Kallia applies HP Burn on random targets rather than applying to all enemies in the battle field!
You’re missing Kallia as a champ with HP burn aoe. Cheers!
Gorlos hellmaw seems to be missing from the site altogether. Epic demonspawn atk based champion. Defence down, accuracy down, and hp burn
Nevermind, read his question wrong. Aoe hp burn. My bad. Lol
Ghoulish Ranger, Bulwark and Wretch that I can think of just on top of my head.
Yes there are hp burn rares. Undead ghoulish has one.
why Yoshi the Drunkard isn’t here? he has HP burn on his a2, attacking two times at random
Hey Ayumi Love! Also @Stanley
There is A rare with HP Burn and it’s Wretch From the Undead Horde, I think it’s on his A2.
@Stanley Suyeyoshi: There aren’t any Rare champions who have HP Burn ability. Hence, they are not listed here!
Hello Ayumi is there AOE Champions that are Rare that have the HP Burn Ability?
@-=slagnee=-: If you do not have any other useful Void champions, then you can rank him up if you are trying to complete the Progress Mission to have a 6 star Void Champion.
@George Marlow: Old Hermit Jorrg has been added to the HP Burn (Target) list!
Old Hermit Jorrg has HP Burn On Target on his A1
i have ragemonger. he’s pretty squishy. he’s at five stars and i need a 6* void. anyone think i should 6* him?
Spaniki , Elder skarg will only Apply HP Burn if the Target has More then 3 debuffs on the target before he uses his ability . Also he will need Higher Acc to apply his debuffs.
Hi. I’m using achak and Elder Skarg on spider. Only in rare ocassions i can get them to put the hp burn on the spider. Achak has 288 acc and skarg has 110. Whats the problem? ACC’s low? Can someone help me. I have only seen Skarg applying the debuff once on spider 9.
@Name: I have moved Elder Skarg from Target to AoE HP Burn. Thanks for mentioning it! 🙂
@Turel97: I have added Wyvernbane to the HP Burn (Target) champion list! Thanks for spotting the missing champion 🙂
As I have none of the champions listed above and my crappy F2P account was stuck on Sorath (normal), in need of the HP Burn debuff, I thought I’d do a quick double check.
I came to the end of my list of lvl 40s and, behold, Wyvernbane.
As Turel97 points out below:
Cursefire Spear [ATK] (Cooldown: 5 turns)
Attacks 1 enemy. Has a 75% chance of placing a [HP Burn] debuff for 2 turns.
The closest it came to dying was on the trash (lvl 40 Wyvernbane in a couple of Immortals and a Perception) and I got the boss first time. Kill the spiderlings first, though.
Thanks for your effort @Ayumilove… this site’s a great resource.

WYVERNBANE
Cursefire Spear [ATK] (Cooldown: 5 turns)
Attacks 1 enemy. Has a 75% chance of placing a [HP Burn] debuff for 2 turns.
Elder skarg should be moved to the AOE hp burn category I believe for his A2.
@Spam: I have added Ultimate Galek into the HP Burn Target List.
Thanks for awesome work Aymilove 🙂
Ultimate Galek is missing from Target HP Burn Skill Champions list (A1 + A2 is target HP burn)
I still use bulwark on ultra nightmare clan boss as free ish to play player. I pay for the raid pass that’s all. He’s a very solid champ.
What about Venus?
>why this difference of max hp burn when rare or Epic / legendary?
We can only put 1 hp burn at time so it should be 75k each time…. i spent all my books to boost bulwark ans then i saw this…seriously it’s very stupid from dev team….
@Shank: Yeah, Rare champions deals 50K damage from HP Burn per turn, while Epic and Legendary champions deals 75K damage from HP burn per turn.
Might be worth mentioning that Rares who HP Burn (Bulwark) tic at 50K and Epic / Leggo that apply it tic at 75K per turn
@GôTô: Yes, HP Burn damage is capped on Clan Boss since it has a passive skill to reduce damage from Poison Debuffs and HP Burn debuffs.
I noticed HP Burn does the same damage against hard clan boss and brutal clan boss, even though brutal has way more max HP.
Does this mean there is a cap to hp burn that is reached with the 75k it does on hard cb?
