Vergumkaar Review
Vergumkaar is a Legendary Support Spirit affinity champion hailing from the Lizardmen faction in Raid Shadow Legends. His immense size is such that he cannot be fully displayed on a player’s screen, marking him as a truly monstrous champion. Despite this, Vergumkaar’s initial release did not quite live up to his potential, earning him the moniker of “vomit frog” due to his puking animations.
However, all of this changed in Patch 6.40, which provided Vergumkaar with a much-needed buff to help raise his utility and make him a more valuable asset to players. He now excels in situations where you may face debuffs and provokes. While his initial design was focused on countering Provoke champions in the Arena, this is seldom seen in high-end meta gameplay.
Vergumkaar’s key ability is his A3, which grants the player the ability to remove buffs from enemies. With his recent change, it also applies a Decrease Defence debuff and Heal Reduction debuff to all enemies. Additionally, his A2 fully removes Provoke and another debuff on your team while also providing an Increase Defence buff and a shield. This ability is especially useful for players looking to counter the effects of provokes and neutralize their opponents’ team.
Moreover, Vergumkaar’s passive ability ensures that he can never be provoked, which allows him to cut in and effectively neutralize any provoke debuffs on your team. This is achieved through his self-buff Turn Meter, which is then followed by an A2 cleanse. All in all, he is a decent Legendary champion, but players should note that he is heavily dependent on books and does not have much utility in areas of the game where provokes are not prevalent.
While players may find some niche uses for Vergumkaar, he is unlikely to be a long-term addition to many teams. However, his recent buffs have made him a more valuable asset to players looking to counteract provokes and other debuffs in the game.

Vergumkaar Storyline
Though many see Vergumkaar as a mere beast of burden – exotic as he is – it would be folly to underestimate the intelligence concealed beneath that magnificent bulk. Indeed, he may not be able to speak, but, like the mighty dragons he is related to, Vergumkaar is fully sentient and possesses wisdom nurtured over many centuries – one only has to open their eyes to see it. His origins lie to the north-east, where the remnants of a once-great civilization dot the jungle beyond Godfrey’s Crossing. Vergumkaar was born there, the last scion of an ancient Dragonkin warrior caste. Once flesh-crafted by Lizardmen priests, these noble defenders regressed to a half-bestial state over the millennia of neglect and savagery that the fall of their people’s empire had wrought. Vergumkaar was not alone when he hatched into the unforgiving world of Teleria. A tribe of his distant kindred, primitive and clinging to traditions they no longer understood, revered him as a demigod; they catered to his every whim and ensured the drakeling matured into a mighty and stalwart creature. Hundreds of years passed in a bountiful bliss, but that could not last forever. Slowly, the tribe died out, and Vergumkaar alone remained amid the ruins. There he dwelt for years uncountable, hunting, defending the crumbling temple walls from intruders and treasure hunters. The flow of time had begun to take its toll, and Vergumkaar soon found his mind slipping, his sentience dimming and giving way to blind instincts. It would take a truly momentous encounter to pull the ancient drake out of this quagmire. One day, a brash Barbarian warrior by the name of Ursuga ventured into the Lizardmen-infested jungle in search of riches and glory. She had conquered many challenges during her adventures and was not deterred when an ancient drake barred her way. It was a worthy challenge indeed! And for Vergumkaar, this was just another intruder defiling his lands. And so battle they did. Three dawns and three sunsets passed, bearing witness to the heroic clash between the Barbarian and the Dragonkin, until both of them collapsed in exhaustion. During that time, Ursuga realized it was no mere beast she faced, and had gained a new respect for her adversary – as did Vergumkaar. Seeing the intelligence in the drake’s eyes, Ursuga chose to communicate rather than attack once more and, to her surprise, the creature proved to be more than capable of understanding her. With nothing truly holding him anymore, Vergumkaar had chosen to follow the strange human – thus strengthening the bond they had forged by testing their strength against one another. Many roads they traveled together, and many dangers they overcame. Tales of Ursuga’s glory grew, and Vergumkaar remained at her side, his stoic resolve balancing the Barbarian’s boisterous and impatient temper. Neither the haughty High Elf nobles of Aravia nor the dark-hearted apostates roaming the abandoned crypts of Stormwind Wastelands could stop the duo adventuring through their domains. The riches they won, the foes they vanquished lent to Ursuga’s and Vergumkaar’s illustrious reputation. To this day, the locals in Aravian taverns love recounting the bizarre adventures of a Barbarian from the East and her faithful dragon steed, whose amber eyes burn with fierce intelligence and whose scaled bulk carries the bounty of countless successful ventures. Should you ever meet this mountain of a woman and her saurian friend, you would do well to show proper respect – they are much better to have as allies than as enemies.

Raid Shadow Legends Vergumkaar Champion Guide by Chofly
@Aquadorian: Thanks for your input on the Spirit Keep. I have updated Vergumkaar’s rating on Spirit Keep from 3 to 5 star.
Should be 5 stars in the Spirit Keep I reckon. His A3 is perfect for removing buffs and replacing them with block heals, which is well needed down there (obviously, teaming up with damage dealers).
This dude is the Swiss army knife of raid, not only is his passive situationally amazing, he offers stun +def buff/debuff removal and aoe heal reductions. he only gets better when teamed with those who increase durations of buffs/debuffs or have debuff spread.
20% Shield from a Lego is pathetic when Hope gives 25% and she is a second rate Epic. He deserves buffing in so many ways.
This champ would be alot nicer if his modifiers were hp instead of att
Can he be a slow boy for Unkillable for Spirit affinity so he removes CB debuff?
Seems tailor made for Scarab King. I’m building mine with a shield set, with a plan to use him there exclusively (prolly also Faction Wars, but only because I won’t otherwise 6-star 5 Lizardmen).
Hey – Verg isn’t showing up in the AoE Shield Skill list which is part 2 of his A2 skill. Thanks for all the work you do on this site!
@Tomowatt Thank you for sharing. It’s going to be hard for many people to beat him.
Not so may champions can reduce max HP and do lots of damage to the boss.
Vergumkaar’s perfect for Borgoth the Scarab King. He gives shields and cleanses any debuff Borgoth inflicts. He’s also able to dispel buffs Borgoth might steal from you. But most interestigly, he’s immune to provoke when ascended. And not only immune but if the boss provokes your champions, Vergumkaar will get Turn Meter boost and will be that much quicker to apply shields and cleanse provoke.
@Asilomar: Interesting. When Vergumkaar first released, his passive skill has a cooldown. I think Plarium Raid Shadow Legends silently updated Vergumkaar passive skill to remove cooldown from his passive skill as I couldn’t find any info in the Patch Notes on this champion. Thanks for highlighting it! I’ll update Vergumkaar passive skill now.
Just curious – I may be wrong, but you have “Saurian Stoic [Passive] (Cooldown: 4 turns)”
Looking at him in game, there is no cooldown listed. Is this a stealth cooldown? TY!
@Juergen: I have added Vergumkaar who was missing in the champion ranking list. Thanks!
@Perico agreed. Kaiden is a good epic.
He is missing in the overall ranking (ALL: Ranking Overview)
https://ayumilove.net/raid-shadow-legends-list-of-champions-by-ranking/
Same for me. Hope I can pull Kaiden back from shards. It will be easier than to pull a Legendary, and it’s more useful for me this champion.
Fused this dude today. Hoping he help me for faction wars.
Hi JuiceMan7. That’s the point that is keeping me away from fusing it. But I have champs that do the same as the epics, and a Legendaries are usually more difficult to get.
The only good fusions we had recently are Kreela and Kantra. The other ones are a bad joke.
Since plarium decided to start nerfing champs it feels like they are gun shy on making great lego champs. This “legendary” champ is only that in name. Hes an epic at best and the epics needed to fuse him are far more useful.
Why does Vergumkaar have 3 stars in spirit keep? He can remove her “block debuffs” and place a 100% heal reduction in 1 turn
Apparently the inmediate future is to have a fragment fusion for Halloween 2020, and a standard fusion (with old rares and epics) for the end of the year.
I’m sad to lose the epics on this fusion, but Leggendaries are much harder to pull. I just hope I don’t pull another Vergumkaar from a shard in the future!
@Teacup: If you are already at end-game account, I would recommend keeping the Epics and collect Legendary champions that are hard to come by. There may be some use case for Legendary in case Plarium decides to give a Ma’Shall type of buff.
Since Plarium probably going to have all new rares for future fusion, should I use my 200+ rares as food now?
@Sifu Mace: I have added Vergumkaar into the Champion Fusion page at https://ayumilove.net/raid-shadow-legends-champion-fusion-guide/
Got a free Ancient Shard from shop (weekly gift) and I got this champ!!!! Looks like he’s going to be strong, with near 10k hp by level 11 without any gear
Hi, Can you add this fusion requirements for this to your fusions page?
