Martyr Review
Martyr is a Legendary Defense Spirit champion from the Sacred Order faction in Raid Shadow Legends. Martyr quickly rose to prominence as the foremost Legendary hero during its inaugural year, and her status as one of the game’s most formidable champions remains unshaken.
With a plethora of remarkable buffs and debuffs at her disposal, Martyr’s true claim to fame lies in her A2 skill—a game-changing ability that fortifies your entire team’s defense and bestows a counter-attack buff for a span of two turns. This exceptional talent is possessed by only three champions in Raid, making Martyr’s contribution invaluable, particularly in the perilous realm of Clan Boss battles. Time is of the essence in these encounters, as the Clan Boss grows enraged and spells doom for your team unless you can unleash maximum damage within a limited timeframe.
Although some argue that Martyr has relinquished her title as the game’s top champion, she remains a formidable force, consistently ranking among the game’s top 15 champions and demonstrating her prowess across all aspects of gameplay. Notably, she excels in Clan Boss battles and Faction Wars, often earning the coveted MVP status. Without a doubt, Martyr is a dependable asset to have on your team, bringing a multitude of indispensable qualities necessary for success in the game.
Martyr Champion Lore Synopsis
The story of the Martyr of Lumaya is one of mystery, sacrifice, and unwavering courage. She first appeared during the Age of Hellfire in the Second Great War, clad in shining armour and wielding a holy blade. The Martyr arrived in the darkest moments, when hope had all but vanished. In a legendary battle at an embattled stronghold, she led a desperate charge against the overwhelming forces of Demonspawn, slashing through their ranks with divine ferocity. Although no other defenders survived that grim encounter, the Martyr emerged unscathed, disappearing only to reappear again and again on battlefields across Teleria.
Witnesses claimed that she was present at nearly every desperate last stand, often the lone survivor, her actions spurring those around her into acts of unmatched bravery. Whether she was truly everywhere or if her legend grew beyond the truth remains unknown. What is certain is that she fought in many battles during that era, no matter how severe her wounds, driven by an almost supernatural zeal. Some believed she was the embodiment of Lumaya’s wrath, a divine figure sent to aid the Sacred Order in their hour of need, explaining her sudden and mysterious appearances.
Despite the Martyr’s prominence, her identity was shrouded in mystery. Some believed she was a mortal woman driven by faith, while others thought she was something more, a manifestation of holy light itself. After the Second Great War ended, she disappeared as swiftly as she had come. Rumours of her continued existence persisted, though, with scattered sightings of her hunting Demonspawn and battling the Undead, but as time passed, these sightings became less frequent until they ceased altogether. Many assumed she had finally met her end.
Years later, during the Red Crusade, the Martyr returned, leading the Sacred Order’s armies with the same ferocity she had shown in the past. Whether this was the same woman or a new warrior wielding her blade, no one could say for certain. She fought tirelessly, slaying a variety of enemies, from Skinwalkers to Lizardmen, her dedication unchanged. Some claimed that she wept as she fought, saddened by the desecration of Lumaya’s servants, but her passion for battle never wavered.
The true identity of the Martyr remains a mystery. Some believe that the title of ‘Martyr’ is passed down through the ranks of the Sacred Order, with one woman taking up the mantle after another falls. Others think there has only ever been one Martyr, blessed – or cursed – with eternal life, fighting forever on behalf of Lumaya. Whether she is one woman or many, her legend endures, and her name remains a symbol of unwavering faith and sacrifice.

My understanding is Ayumilove uses the Folklore found at Plarium’s Forums. I checked today and there is no entry for Martyr.

Someone told my Wife they had stories for the champions here. Her Favorite Champion is Martyr so she was excited to read the story. But She doesn’t have a Storyline. AyumiLove? Can I ask you to add Martyr’s Storyline for her if you can and or willing to do so? Please and Thank you on her Behalf.
@saloufen: I think it was a mistake. I have updated Martyr masteries.
@UnlimitedPain: I have corrected the Martyr mastery for Clan Boss (Kill Streak replaced with Methodical).
I use my Martyr for Campaign farm on Nightmare 12-1
My gears have Lifesteal set and Speed set. Glove, Chest, and Boots have Def% as main stat and Crit Rate, HP%, Speed and Resist as Sub Stats.
For Accessories, I have HP as main stats and Def% as Sub Stats.
She never fails 12-1 on Nightmare so definitely a great champ for solo Campaign farmer. I can literally fully level up 3 1-star for just 1 battle.
I have the same question as UnlimitedPAin. Kill streak doesnt provide any help on CB masteries, so i can only imagine that it was placed there by mistake.
Why would you choose Kill Streak over Methodical for CB masteries? If you could explain I’d greatly appreciate it. Thank you!
Is it worth using both Martyr and Valkyrie on the same clan boss team?
About your comments:
Lasting gifts does not increase then turn meter
Martyr has increase defense on her own
You don’t need block debuffs, you can also use Skullscrusher and other strategies to avoid the stun
@em: Martyr masteries are setup correctly as shown in the guide above. For Clan Boss and Dungeons, you will want more Defensive Stats to survive longer in battle. For Arena, Campaign and Faction Wars, you will want to increase your Accuracy with the help of Support Mastery Tree in order to successfully inflict Provoke and Decrease Defense debuffs on her targets. Enemy champion may have stack higher resistance to resist those debuff that prevents them from performing at their full potential.
@Emeraldancient: You will need to pair Martyr with a champion that has Block Debuff and Increase Defense such as Marked (Rare Support Champion) to counter Ice Golem’s Frigid Vengeance if you are inflicting heavy direct damage to the boss. You can also inflict indirect damage via Poison Debuff with the help of Counter Attack buff to bypass Frigid Vengeance trigger/proc too when the boss reaches his turn.
Hi Ayumi,
i really like your content. I just realized that Martyrs Bastion of Faith skill is very dangerous for my team versus the ice golem, because it leads to him using his frigid vengeance multiple times in succesion and freezes my whole team, thats why i suggest to give her only 3 or 4 stars versus the ice golem because of the pontential danger for your own team.
Aren’t Arena and the Dungeon Masters changed?
You’re the opposite of the other champ. Is that right?
@Zemadar: Thanks for pointing it out! I have updated Martyr’s mastery guide so she will use Offense and Defense Tree for Clan Boss and Dungeons, while for Arena, Campaign and Faction Wars you can opt for the Offense Tree and Support Tree.
I was very happy since I pulled her. My CB dmg incresed for a large amount. I started to play short time ago so im newb but Ive noticed, that my apothecary which I maxed out cuz I know hes one of best rare is not good with counter attack team… Ive read about setting up speed in ca team, but ive also seen yt movies shown that is myth when U use Rapid Response, Arcane Celerity, Lasting Gift and boost turn meter champ cuz U are so fast that ca buff is up almost all the time… What do U think about it?
PS
BHub said in his Martyr guide that thoose support masteries can brake up turn order, and U should pick other instead.
@Tony: Players mostly uses Martyr instead of Valkyrie for Counter Attack Clan Boss Team since she is easier to speed-tune because she does not have any skills that boost her Turn Meter, which leads to outspeeding her own team. The good thing about Valkyrie is she provides a large amount of Shield that is very important in increasing your team survivability. Either way, go with the one you prefer most and use the other specifically for Arena. If you have your Valkyrie already level up and ascended, continue working on her for Clan Boss, just don’t pick any masteries that further increase her Turn Meter (e.g. Arcane Celerity, Cycle of Revenge, Rapid Response, Lasting Gifts). You other clan boss team mates should also be speed tuned to Valkyrie and current Clan Boss Speed (e.g. Brutal: 160, Nightmare: 170, UltraNM: 190)
I pulled this unit just now, but I also have a Valkyrie. Should I still build this unit or focus on someone else? Not sure if running both this and Valkyrie is a good idea.
