RAID Shadow Legends has added their most recent fusion, Razelvarg, to the game where players will have a couple weeks to complete tournaments and events to gain the opportunity to add Razelvarg onto their account. He is a damage utility champion, known for his unique Passive which gives him a bonus of +100 speed as he cycles through is turns. We also have a <a href="https://aftershockunited.gg/raid/blog/raid-s-april-2023-fusion-razelvarg" target="_blank">FULL RAZELVARG BREAKDOWN</a> if you would like to see his whole kit and analysis.

razf.webp...

Players will have about 17 days in total to complete tournaments and events which will earn them copies of a rare champion to fuse in to epics, that will will then fuse into Razelvarg. The fusion event calendar shows us that there will be a total of 16 copies of the rare, and 1 copy of the epic up for grabs.

There are 2 different strategies for finishing this fusion.

<ol>
	<li style="text-align: justify;">Make sure that you manage things perfectly to never miss getting a copy of a rare so that you get all 16 rares. It is possible to skip trying to acquire the epic, but can be risky, because if you miss even just 1 copy of the rare, you will not be able to complete the fusion having completely wasted all of your efforts.</li>
	<li style="text-align: justify;">Make sure to get the copy of the epic, Delaaja, during the first weekend's Summon Rush. This will be pretty expensive as you will need to pull a decent amount of shards, but it will be a lot less stressful because then you have some wiggle room of being able to miss up to 4 copies of the rare and still finish the fusion.</li>
</ol>

razc1.webp...

The unfortunate thing about the first weekend's Summon Rush to acquire a copy of the epic that you will need, is that it will not be coinciding with anything like a 2x or Guaranteed Summon event, but will just be normal shards during a pretty boring 10x event. Usually, players do not want to pull shards during nothing going on except for a bland 10x, but since there is a fusion happening it can change things a little bit.

If you do decide to pull shards during the first weekend's summon rush, there will be a 10x for these champions:

<ul>
	<li style="text-align: justify;">Claidna</li>
	<li style="text-align: justify;">Staltus Dragonbane</li>
	<li style="text-align: justify;">Lady Kimi</li>
	<li style="text-align: justify;">Countess Lix</li>
	<li style="text-align: justify;">Tuhak the Wanderer</li>
	<li style="text-align: justify;">Lady Annabelle</li>
	<li style="text-align: justify;">Ruella</li>
	<li style="text-align: justify;">Stag Knight</li>
</ul>

Claidna is the new void legendary, and have a <a href="https://aftershockunited.gg/raid/blog/claidna-raid-introduces-new-void-leggo-in-april-2023" target="_blank">FULL CLAIDNA BREAKDOWN</a> for her being added to the game. I would say one of the notable things about this 10x, is that it features Stag Knight, who we also have a <a href="https://aftershockunited.gg/raid/builds/stag-knight-build-masteries-sets-grades" target="_blank">FULL STAG KNIGHT GUIDE</a> for you if you would like. He is one of the best progression epics and would be a great addition for any account that does not have him yet, so at least there is that going on during the 10x.

For our first initial gradings, Razelvarg is grading out towards the upper half of our <a href="https://aftershockunited.gg/raid/tierlists/fusion-fragment-champions-tier-list" target="_blank">EVENT CHAMPION'S TIER LIS</a>T, so I would recommend that any player who has the resources to go for him, probably should at least try because he has some unique capabilities while being both a damage dealer and utility champion.

Perfect for ensuring debuffs stay active, even as they’re being activated by other abilities. A2 – Toxic Devastation First hit activates all poison and HP burn debuffs on all enemies and continuous heal buffs on all allies. Second hit destroys 3% of the target’s max HP for each poison and HP burn activated (up to 60%). With a three-turn cooldown when booked, this is a powerful, utility-packed skill for both offense and survivability. A3 – Poisonous Onslaught Attacks all enemies, filling all allies' turn meters by 20%. Places two poison debuffs on all enemies for two turns (three if they’re under HP burn). Places two continuous heal buffs on all allies for two turns. This skill’s versatility makes it invaluable in both early and endgame content. Passive – Rigged to Blow Damage from poison and HP burn ignores block damage and unkillable buffs. Amplifies damage by 10% for each stack of destroyed max HP, boosting effectiveness in prolonged battles. Aura Increases speed in all battles by 20%.

Boots: Speed (for turn order optimization). Ring: HP with substats in flat HP or defense. Amulet: Defense or HP with high substat rolls in accuracy. Banner: Accuracy (critical for landing debuffs). Mastery Recommendations To optimize Stokk the Broken’s performance, masteries should align with his role as a support-debuff champion. PvE (Campaign, Clan Boss, Dungeons) Offense Tree Deadly Precision, Keen Strike, Heart of Glory, Life Drinker, Warmaster. Support Tree Pinpoint Accuracy, Swarm Smiter, Cycle of Magic, Lore of Steel, Master Hexer, Lasting Gifts.

Brimstone: Adds the Smite debuff, dealing significant damage over time. A top choice for endgame dungeon content and Doom Tower. Lethal Dose: Enhances poison damage, making it a niche option for PvP teams built around poison strategies. Temporal Chains: Decreases enemy speed, ideal for control-heavy teams in Doom Tower and Arena. Intimidating Presence: Strengthens your team’s aura and weakens enemy auras, great when using Stokk as your team leader. Cruelty and&nbsp;Brimstone were highlighted as the best blessings for most players. Cruelty is excellent for reducing enemy defense in prolonged battles, while Brimstone boosts damage output significantly against tough bosses. Performance Breakdown Dungeons Spider’s Den: Stokk excels in activating poison debuffs and keeping allies alive with continuous heals. Ice Golem’s Peak: He can maintain debuffs and sustain your team through tricky waves and boss mechanics. Dragon’s Lair: Pair him with poison dealers for fast runs. Arena While not a dedicated PvP champion, Stokk’s damage and support abilities can work in tanky, go-second teams. Doom Tower &amp; Faction Wars Stokk brings immense value with his turn meter fills, heal activations, and debuff extensions, making him a versatile choice for high-level content. Stokk the Broken Lore Stokk was born among the Night Skewers, a tribe of cave-dwelling Ogryn living beneath the Dusk Hills. He left them to seek fame and fortune in Anhelt, arriving in Delanos confused but well-meaning. He did not realize he had arrived during a time when hatred of Ogryn was high across Anhelt — the rise of the Gaellen Pact and its promise of vengeance was stoking much fear and anger. Within a few days of arriving, having done little more than explore the city, he was captured by city patrolmen and accused of being a ‘Gaellen spy’, ‘frightening the populace’, and of ‘inciting disorder’. He was held captive, beaten and deprived of light and fresh air by the Delanos officials, and regularly placed in the stocks in public to show off what the burghers claimed was their ‘effective defense’ against Gaellen infiltrators. After Stokk spent over a year languishing in captivity, Gaellen invaders stormed Delanos and found him on public display. After the Gaellens determined Stokk was ignorant and harmless, a vengeful Ogryn alchemist called Vizug the Noxious claimed him. Seeing that Stokk was a member of the Night Skewers — and thus a skulking weakling in Vizug’s eyes — and that he had been foolish enough to have been captured by the League, Vizug treated him as little more than a heap of flesh to experiment on. Stokk, desperate to be accepted, agreed to serve Vizug’s living laboratory. Advances in his venge-fire alchemy and the grievous challenges of the Gaellen War led Vizug to envision a whole new use for his toxic compound, turning fanatical warriors – or condemned criminals – into living weapons. By having volatile compounds of fire and acid imbued into their own flesh, such a warrior could not be disarmed or safely captured. However, to endure the agony of being a living bomb on the verge of detonation, Stokk and the other prototype bio-weapons had to be drugged with stupefying, anesthetic compounds. This left them too passive and delirious to be effective warriors, so Vizug gave them additional tinctures to induce rage and frenzy. After many failed attempts he found a balance that created raving, fearless warriors who felt no pain. Gaellen commanders were happy to use Vizug’s alchemic compounds on the enemy, but balked at the cruel extremity of making their own soldiers into disposable weapons. As the invasion faltered and the Gaellens were pushed back, however, one by one they agreed to use any means necessary and Stokk was pushed into battle for the first time. He was a whirlwind of frenzied energy, the elixirs in his system making him implacable and unreasoning. Soldiers were melted and burned alive within their armor by caustic fluids that no amount of water could neutralize, their screams drowning out Stokk’s own wild, incoherent battle cries. The fear and chaos Stokk sowed allowed other Gaellen warriors time to regroup, heal their wounds, and maneuver into advantageous positions. As soon as Stokk was exhausted and his reserves of chemicals temporarily depleted, they surged forward to collect him and shatter the disorganized and traumatized remnants of the enemy. The Free City of Klodovic was destroyed after Stokk was smuggled into the city by night and set loose. Spewing toxins and burning acid, he poisoned half the city and set fire to scores of buildings, allowing the Gaellen forces beyond the walls to storm the city with ease. Stokk was eventually captured when Telerian League forces deployed a specially trained squadron equipped with magically protective suits, long catch-poles, and corrosion-resistant cages. Without the drugs that kept him numb, Stokk suffered horribly at the hands of the Telerians, who experimented on him in turn and pried from him many of Vizug’s secrets of toxic alchemy. Once they had extracted all they could from Stokk, the League sent him back to attack Vizug’s camp in an act of cruel, vengeful irony. Stokk was on the verge of finally losing control of the raging alchemical storm within him and, as Vizug’s guards desperately tried to stop him, he warped and bloated with poisonous fumes and searing acid, about to explode and surely cause catastrophic harm and damage. Moments before he would have detonated, however, the Arbiter appeared in a flash to absorb the wretched Stokk into one of her Shards. She had little love for Vizug, whose callous experimentation had created Stokk, but she could not allow the terribly unfortunate Stokk to be destroyed and forever lost. Partly she was driven by pity, to save Stokk and perhaps one day reverse his explosive decline. But she was also motivated by sheer practicality: if Stokk had been made irrevocably into a living weapon and was now constantly on the verge of self-destruction, it should be she, and no other, who should have the option to deploy him if absolutely necessary. Conclusion Stokk the Broken is an extraordinary addition to any <a href="https://www.raidshadowlegends.com" target="_blank">RAID: Shadow Legends</a> roster. Whether you’re a new player or a seasoned veteran, his versatile kit offers solutions to multiple challenges in the game. With the right build and strategy, Stokk can become a cornerstone of your dungeon teams and beyond.

Stokk the Broken: Build and Guide for RAID: Shadow Legends

<a href="https://youtu.be/vwYz76aaA_w" target="_blank">Ailil</a>, a Void Legendary from the Sylvan Watchers faction, is one of the most aesthetically striking champions in&nbsp;<a href="https://www.raidshadowlegends.com" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">RAID: Shadow Legends</a>. With his intricate design and glowing arms that exude an aura of power, he embodies the spirit of the Sylvan Watchers. But is Ailil a hidden gem waiting to be discovered or a disappointing Void Legendary? Let’s dive into his kit, build, and performance to answer this question. <a href="https://youtu.be/vwYz76aaA_w" target="_blank"><img src="https://api.flotiq.com/image/0x0/_media-340ce8e9-36cf-4776-bce0-e37995e65084.PNG" title="Ailil" alt="Ailil" style="width: 800px; height: 469px; display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"></a> Ailil Skills Breakdown A1 - Gnarled Scythe Effect: Attacks one enemy and steals all buffs from the target on the first hit. Subsequent hits increase damage by 10% for each buff on the target. Cannot be resisted. Highlights: Excellent for buff-heavy enemies, especially in Arena. The buff-stealing mechanic bypasses resistance, making it reliable for neutralizing key opponents. A2 - Pierce of Carapace Effect: Attacks one enemy, ignoring Strengthen, Stone Skin, Increased Defense, and Ally Protection. If the target is killed, fully heals Ailil and grants him Stone Skin. Cooldown: 3 turns. Highlights: With a 5x multiplier, this skill can hit hard, especially against targets with Stone Skin. However, the damage output is considered average compared to top-tier nukers. A3 - Chill Wind of Autumn Effect: Attacks all enemies after removing buffs like Increased Defense and Strengthen. Places Decrease Defense and Weaken debuffs, and Block Buffs on enemies without defense buffs. Cannot be resisted. Cooldown: 3 turns. Highlights: A versatile skill that shines in Arena and Doom Tower. The inability to resist this skill ensures consistent debuff application. Passive - Force of Nature Effect: Increases HP and Defense based on Ailil's attack. Fills his Turn Meter by 10% whenever he receives a buff. Highlights: Makes Ailil more durable and synergizes well with buff-heavy team setups. Aura Effect: Increases Crit Rate in all battles by 25%. Highlights: Situational but useful for teams that struggle to hit the crit cap. Recommended Gear for Ailil To maximize Ailil's potential, prioritize attack and crit stats while bolstering his survivability. Savage or Lethal Sets Primary focus: Ignoring enemy defense to boost Ailil’s damage. Reasoning: Ailil’s damage scales significantly with ignored defense, making these sets essential for maximizing his nuking potential. Stone Skin Set Provides durability and resistance to crowd control in Arena battles. Synergy: While Ailil can grant himself Stone Skin with his A2, additional Stone Skin gear can enhance his survivability. Feral Set Adds resistance to polymorph effects, which can be disruptive in Arena. Cruel Set Grants extra attack and ignored defense. While it’s not as strong as Savage or Lethal, it’s a viable option if Savage/Lethal sets are unavailable. Gear Stats Gauntlets: Crit Damage. Chest: Attack Percentage. Boots: Speed with attack percentage substats. Banner: Attack. Amulet: Crit Damage. Ring: Attack. Stat Priorities Primary Stats Attack: Essential for scaling his passive and maximizing damage. Crit Rate: Ensure Ailil reaches 100% Crit Rate. Crit Damage: Amplifies his damage output. Secondary Stats Speed: Helps him take turns faster. HP/Defense: Improve survivability through his passive. Masteries Here is a detailed guide on masteries for Ailil, tailoring them to both PvE and PvP scenarios. PvE Masteries These masteries focus on enhancing Ailil's offensive capabilities while providing some survivability. Key Masteries Deadly Precision: Increases Critical Rate. Keen Strike: Enhances Critical Damage. Heart of Glory: Boosts damage when Ailil is at full HP. Single Out: Increases damage to low-HP targets. Bring It Down: Enhances damage against targets with higher max HP. Wrath of the Slain: Increases damage for each dead ally. Methodical: Boosts default skill damage. Warmaster: Provides bonus damage based on enemy max HP. PvP Masteries For PvP, Ailil's masteries aim to maximize burst damage and adapt to Arena threats. Key Masteries Ruthless Ambush: Extra damage against targets who haven’t acted. Cycle of Violence: Chance to reduce cooldowns on significant damage. Helm Smasher: Ignoring additional defense for high-impact hits. Defense Tree Provides durability for both PvE and PvP: Tough Skin: Increases base defense. Retribution: Grants a chance to counterattack when hit. Delay Death: Reduces damage from successive hits. <a href="https://raidhq.gg/raid/blessing" target="_blank">Blessings </a>for Ailil We have several recommendations for blessings to enhance Ailil’s performance across different scenarios: Soul Reap Effect: Triggers bonus damage when an enemy is brought below a certain HP threshold. Why It’s Recommended: Works exceptionally well with Ailil’s A2, securing kills and synergizing with his healing and Stone Skin effects. Crushing Rend Effect: Reduces a portion of the enemy’s defense over time. Why It’s Recommended: Great for increasing damage in defense-heavy matchups, especially in Arena. Phantom Touch Effect: Adds bonus damage based on Ailil's attack. Why It’s Considered: Useful for PvE scenarios where extra damage output is needed. Cruelty Effect: Reduces enemy defense with each hit. Why It’s Useful: Ideal for longer fights or teams focusing on debuffs, enhancing Ailil’s overall damage output. Performance Overview Strengths Arena Utility: Ailil can surprise opponents in Live Arena with his buff manipulation and unique debuffs. Wave Clearing: His AoE skill and sustain make him effective in Doom Tower and campaign content. Buff Manipulation: Stealing buffs and placing Block Buffs make him a counter to buff-heavy teams. Weaknesses Mediocre Damage: While his kit is versatile, his damage output falls short of other Void Legendaries. Niche Usage: Best suited for specific scenarios like wave clearing and niche Arena teams. Requires Team Support: Needs an Increased Attack buff to reach his full potential. Ailil's Lore Many Fae regard the Lord of the Faunas, Ailil, to be one of the greatest protectors of the Mistwood’s animals and believe him to be a gift given by the forest itself to guard its children. Before Siroth’s corruption of the great forest, this silent recluse rarely interacted with other Sylvan and spent his time tending to the forest’s myriad animals. With his scythe, he swung from tree to tree, cropped the environment to suit the animals’ needs, and protected creatures from harm. For the longest time, the Sylvan considered Ailil a shepherding spirit and left offerings of flower wreaths and whittled tokens by lichen-stripped trees and nests to guide him to vulnerable animals, so that he might include them in his herd. Little did they know, this well-intentioned act angered Ailil, for he knew all of the wood’s animals, could hear their cries, and felt their hearts as his own, and feared the motivations behind the Sylvan who felt the need to mark them out. So it was that Ailil came to lurk in the treetops, ready to ambush any who came to “litter” his forest. The unfortunate soul he first descended upon was a young Elven girl who had come to the den of a mother boar with chains of bluebells and violets. In a voice older than oak, Ailil demanded to know why the girl sought to disturb the boar’s home, especially while the beast had young to shelter. Shocked that he spoke her tongue, the girl dropped to her knees and begged Ailil for aid. The boar had been injured, and the girl had intended to leave the flowers as a request for Ailil to watch over the piglets. Though Ailil had already resolved the matter, so moved was he that another cared for the animals that he asked if all the Sylvan trinkets he had found had been left for similar purposes. Once the girl explained her people’s beliefs, Ailil returned the offerings and reassured her that she need not worry—lost fawns, birds with broken wings, and all other creatures in pain were being cared for. The girl spread the word and so it was that the Sylvan learned of Ailil’s name and dubbed him Lord of the Faunas. Still, Ailil did not frequent the Sylvan beyond what was required for his animals’ needs, and the Sylvan learned that he needed no assistance in maintaining the creatures’ wellbeing. That was until the great Darkness descended upon the Mistwood and tampered with the Sylvans’ sacred guide, the Rhythm that connected all things of the Mistwood. Though the Lord of the Faunas escaped the spreading corruption, his link to his animals was severed. He could no longer hear them, though he felt their pain like an implacable thorn in his skin. While the Sylvan Watchers fought evil’s spread, the homemakers and foresters of the land once again hung offerings on branches to signpost Ailil’s way to frightened or wounded animals. But too often he found the hunted creatures too late. Servants of evil skinned foxes for their pelts, butchered deer and rabbits to feast upon their flesh, and burned the trees that housed countless flocks and fledglings. Enraged, Ailil took up his scythe and hunted the beings that pleasured in tormenting innocent creatures and rained down his wrath upon them. Day and night, the Lord of the Faunas leapt through the trees in search of his prey and sliced through them as they had the wolves, boars, and countless others. But no matter how tireless his efforts, it was not enough to stop the enemy. As a result, Ailil reluctantly joined the Sylvan Watchers. So long as they shared his love for the forest and were willing to risk their lives to protect it, he accepted that his goals aligned with theirs and realized that his odds of success were greater within a united army. The Watchers offered him the blades of their work and Ailil became one of the most formidable in their ranks. With unmatched raw strength, he slew in the hundreds, slicing his foes apart with his scythe, as sharp as a chill autumn wind, but he was not as indiscriminate as some of his fellows. If some foe proved themselves a friend to beasts, Ailil stayed his blades from their flesh with little regard for orders or the greater good. As it is clear where his loyalties lie, Ailil has become a point of contention among the Sylvan Watchers. Some find that his disinterest in the Sylvan folk makes it hard to cooperate with him, while others consider his integrity admirable. Regardless, there is no doubt that his quiet fury is a vital weapon in the war against evil, and so long as the creatures of the Mistwood suffer, the Lord of the Faunas will fight. Conclusion Ailil is a visually stunning and versatile champion with a kit designed for buff manipulation and niche setups. While his damage might not be top-tier, pairing him with a strong support team can amplify his potential. Whether he’s a hidden gem or not depends on your playstyle and roster needs. If you’re looking for a curveball to throw at opponents in Live Arena or a dependable wave-clearer, Ailil might just fit the bill.

Ailil: Hidden Gem or Trash Void Legendary? (Build & Guide)

Hey, Raid enthusiasts! <a href="https://youtu.be/qltz-lvPvjY" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Skeletor</a>, inspired by the legendary He-Man franchise, has entered the fray in <a href="https://www.raidshadowlegends.com" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">RAID: Shadow Legends</a>. But is he worth maxing out? Let’s dive into his abilities, strengths, weaknesses, and five optimal builds to help you decide if this legendary champion deserves your resources. <a href="https://youtu.be/qltz-lvPvjY" target="_blank"><img src="https://api.flotiq.com/image/0x0/_media-3881086a-b342-49fc-a046-5c6557d2956d.PNG" title="Skeletor" alt="Skeletor" style="width: 800px; height: 469px; display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"></a> Skeletor Skills Overview Skeletor brings a unique set of debuffs and control mechanics to the game, making him viable in specific areas of content. Here’s a breakdown of his skills: Aura: Increases accuracy in all battles—a handy feature, especially for high-resistance enemies. A1 – Double Strike: Attacks twice, with a chance to extend the duration of a random debuff. A2 – Skull Comet: Inflicts petrification, the ultimate crowd control debuff, which removes buffs, prevents future buffs, and skips the target’s turn. A3 – Beyond Fools: Grants increased accuracy to allies and reduces enemy turn meters, with bonuses against the Taran League faction. Passive – Master of Evil: Boosts Skeletor's accuracy for each buff on enemies and applies decreased resistance when attacked. While his single-target focus limits his appeal, his utility shines in niche situations like the Arena and Iron Twins. Gear Recommendations Stone Skin + Perception (Arena) Focus: Survivability and accuracy. Gear Stone Skin (4-piece): Protects Skeletor from early damage. Perception (2-piece): Boosts accuracy for reliable debuff application. Stats Priority Accuracy &gt; Speed &gt; HP Use Case: Designed for Arena matches, where petrification and turn meter control are crucial. Shield Set (Early Game PvE) Focus: Team protection and survivability. Gear: Shield Set (4-piece): Creates shields based on Skeletor’s HP to protect allies. Stats Priority: HP (on gauntlets, chest, and boots) &gt; Speed &gt; Accuracy Use Case: Ideal for early-game content like dungeons and faction wars. The shield keeps your team alive while Skeletor contributes utility. Perception &amp; Accuracy (Iron Twins) Focus: High accuracy for debuffs. Gear: Perception (4 or 2-piece): Boosts accuracy and speed. Accuracy gear: Optional for added accuracy if needed. Stats Priority: Accuracy (aim for 500+) &gt; Speed &gt; HP. Use Case: Essential for high-resistance bosses like the Iron Twins, ensuring consistent debuffs like decreased speed and petrification. Feral &amp; Pinpoint (Endgame Arena) Focus: Polymorph resistance and improved control. Gear: Feral (2-6 piece): Protects against polymorph effects while adding survivability. Pinpoint gear: Boosts accuracy and survivability further. Stats Priority: Speed &gt; Accuracy &gt; HP. Use Case: Best for high-level Arena, providing durability and control to counter opponents. Bolster Set (Meta Support) Focus: Healing and shielding for the team. Gear: Bolster (4-piece): Adds healing capabilities and shields allies for durability. Stats Priority: HP &gt; Speed &gt; Accuracy. Use Case: Effective for late-game PvE and PvP, countering damage-heavy opponents like Marichka. Masteries for Skeletor Here are two mastery setups tailored to Skeletor's strengths, focusing on either PvE utility or Arena performance. PvE Mastery Build This build is optimized for boss fights and general PvE content like dungeons and Iron Twins. Offense Tree: Warmaster (Tier 6): Adds bonus damage against bosses. Path to Warmaster: Focus on&nbsp;Deadly Precision,&nbsp;Keen Strike, and other essential nodes. Avoid crit-based masteries since Skeletor isn't built for damage. Support Tree: Accuracy and Debuff Extension: Pinpoint Accuracy: Early accuracy boost. Master Hexer: Extends debuff durations like decreased speed. Lore of Steel: Enhances stat boosts from gear sets. Cycle of Magic: Reduces cooldowns for more skill uptime. Arena/Live Arena Mastery Build This build focuses on control and survivability for PvP scenarios. Support Tree Eagle Eye (Tier 6): Adds +50 accuracy for reliable debuffs in high-resistance fights. Pinpoint Accuracy and&nbsp;Charge Focus for more accuracy. Master Hexer to extend debuff durations. Defense Tree Survivability and Counterattacks Tough Skin: Boosts Skeletor’s defense. Resurgent: Removes debuffs when hit hard. Retribution: Enables counterattacks, extending debuffs with the A1. <a href="https://raidhq.gg/raid/blessing" target="_blank" style="font-size: 24px;">Blessings</a> Brimstone Why Brimstone? Adds extra AoE damage through Smite, helping compensate for Skeletor’s low offensive stats. Highly effective in PvE content like Iron Twins and wave-based battles, boosting overall damage output. Alternative Blessings Soul Reap (PvP): Finishes off enemies at low HP, ideal for Arena-focused builds. Commanding Presence (PvE): Enhances the effectiveness of Skeletor’s accuracy aura, benefiting the entire team in high-resistance fights. Brimstone remains the most universally effective blessing, adding much-needed offensive capability to Skeletor’s kit. Skeletor Lore Skeletor is a monomaniacal schemer as well as a formidable necromancer and sorcerer. In the fabled land of Eternia, no being strikes terror into the hearts of the people more – he is sharp of tongue, renowned for his maniacal cackle, and is hellbent on acquiring absolute power and subjugating all to his will. Above all else he seeks the ‘fabulous secret powers’ of Castle Grayskull, and to do that he must wrest the legendary Power Sword from He-Man – the most powerful man in the universe. At Skeletor's command are a menagerie of monstrous minions, all malicious and greedy. Beasts and sorceresses, metal-men and mutants, all make up his dark forces. This legion of evil is matched by an equally vast arsenal of dark artifacts, prized from the dungeons and hell-libraries of the world. Skeletor’s most prized weapon is the Havoc Staff, a scepter coursing with evil magic and topped with a grinning ram skull. Despite his seemingly unstoppable fervor for evil, the mighty Skeletor is a laughing stock, a hapless fool; a punching bag for the great hero children all love: He-Man. In every story told of him, he is soundly defeated and flees the scene, escaping his true punishment with his trademark cackle. All of Skeletor’s wicked artifacts prove useless. His nefarious schemes all fail. His followers are shown to be incompetent, time and time again, and he heaps all blame for defeat upon them. Skeletor’s impotent rages are the stuff of legend. Often he bewails his incompetent lackeys with an array of colorful insults, calling them ‘pitiful pinheads,’ ‘metal-munching morons,’ or ‘tin-tongued dolts’ as he experiences the bitter sting of humiliating defeat yet again. Such creative harangues have entered the Telerian lexicon, with people of all kinds jokingly aiming them at friends, family, and colleagues. If Skeletor existed, he would be apoplectic that his savage insults are used as mere jests, and that only makes using them funnier to Telerians. Though for the common people they are mere entertainment, the stories of Skeletor and He-Man are seen by the powers that be, especially the Sacred Order, as having a vital moral component. Darkness is depicted as weak and laughable, and sorcery as dangerous and foolish. He-Man’s endless chain of victories and Skeletor's ignominious defeats prove the value of hard work, decency, and integrity. While depictions of the Undead and the Demonic are normally met with fury by Lumayan Church priests and warriors of the Order, those of Skeletor are allowed. By permitting him – and his defeats – to be put on show, the confidence of the masses in facing the ever-present threat of Darkness is buoyed. Nonetheless, Skeletor is so tamed by the stories he has become loved in his own way. Telerians delight in his overweening pride and futile quest for power, and love to see his plans collapse around him. Those few who proclaim that Skeletor and He-Man were once real are dismissed as being on the fringes of society, reveling in childish things. They wonder if the name of Snake Mountain alludes to the Dragonkin Empire’s once-occupation of lands now dominated by the Undead, attempting to draw some connection between modern Lizardmen and necromancy. They have discovered pits full of various bones indicative of some death-obsessed culture, but they are scattered all over the world. A handful of Knights Revenant necromancers have even attempted to bring the soul of Skeletor back into the mortal world, fruitlessly sacrificing hundreds of people. Theories abound, each lambasted as absurd. Some observers point out that, in a way, this is Skeletor’s final victory. Though he never defeats He-Man in the stories, he remains elusive enough to forever torment and taunt his greatest enemy, just as his mystery ever-confounds its would-be solvers. These observers can’t help picturing Skeletor cackling maniacally at the whole enterprise. Conclusion Skeletor isn’t a game-changing legendary, but he offers valuable debuff utility and niche strengths in specific game modes. Whether you’re battling bosses or controlling the Arena, his builds, masteries, and blessings can help you unlock his full potential. However, due to his resource intensity, consider your priorities before fully investing in him.

Skeletor in RAID: Shadow Legends: Full Guide & 5 Builds

<a href="https://raidhq.gg/raid/champions/taurus" target="_blank">Taurus</a>, a Skinwalker epic champion, has long been overlooked by many players in&nbsp;<a href="https://www.raidshadowlegends.com" target="_blank">RAID: Shadow Legends</a>. However, his exceptional poison-dealing capabilities make him a must-build champion for both early and late-game players. In this guide, we’ll dive deep into Taurus’ skills, masteries, blessings, build recommendations, and strategies to unleash his full potential in your lineup. <a href="https://youtu.be/ZFEoX1FGDN0" target="_blank"><img src="https://api.flotiq.com/image/0x0/_media-984fd6a5-a0e8-448d-8fe2-f31007d3c846.PNG" title="Taurus" alt="Taurus" style="width: 800px; height: 468px; display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"></a> Taurus Skills A1: Meta Mobilize Effect: Attacks one enemy and heals Taurus by 20% of the damage inflicted if the target has a poison debuff. Use: This self-heal is vital for keeping Taurus alive during extended battles, especially when paired with his poison-heavy kit. A2: Tendon Slash Effect: On a 3-turn cooldown when booked, this skill attacks one enemy and has a 100% chance to place a [Weaken] debuff for two turns. Use: The [Weaken] debuff makes Taurus a valuable asset for boss fights, allowing your team to deal more damage efficiently. A3: Toxic Nova Effect: On a 4-turn cooldown when booked, this ability deals 99% of Taurus’ current HP as self-damage, leaving him with 1% HP. However, it places an [Unkillable] buff on him for two turns and applies four [Poison] debuffs on all enemies for two turns. Use: This is Taurus’ signature move and one of the most powerful poison-dealing abilities among epic champions. The [Unkillable] buff ensures he survives the self-damage, but pairing him with healers or revivers is essential for longevity. Mastery Recommendations for Taurus Taurus benefits greatly from masteries that amplify his poison-dealing abilities and ensure his survivability. Here's a detailed mastery setup tailored to enhance his performance across various game modes. Offense Tree Deadly Precision: +5% Critical Rate. Keen Strike: +10% Critical Damage. Grim Resolve: Increases damage by 5% when Taurus has 50% HP or less. Single Out: Increases damage inflicted to targets with less than 40% HP by 8%. Life Drinker: Heals Taurus by 5% of damage inflicted when his HP is 50% or less. Bring It Down: Increases damage inflicted by 6% when attacking targets with higher MAX HP. Methodical: Boosts damage inflicted by 2% with each hit in a round (stacks up to 10%). Kill Streak: Increases damage per enemy killed (up to 12% in total). Warmaster: Grants bonus damage based on the target’s MAX HP, ideal for bosses. Support Tree Pinpoint Accuracy: Adds +10 Accuracy. Charged Focus: Increases Accuracy by 20 when Taurus has no skills on cooldown. Arcane Celerity: A 30% chance to boost Turn Meter when a debuff cast by Taurus expires or is removed. Evil Eye: Reduces the target’s Turn Meter when Taurus hits them with his default skill for the first time. Lore of Steel: Increases Set Bonuses of basic artifact sets by 15%. Master Hexer: Grants a 30% chance to extend the duration of Taurus’ poison debuffs. <a href="https://raidhq.gg/raid/blessing" target="_blank">Blessings</a> If you have Taurus awakened, blessings can further enhance his effectiveness and synergy with your team. We recommend the following options: Cruelty Effect: Reduces the target's defense with each hit (up to a limit), which synergizes well with Taurus’ poison-heavy attacks. Use Case: Ideal for prolonged battles, particularly against bosses and high-defense enemies, to amplify team damage output. Commanding Presence Effect: Strengthens the team’s aura by increasing its potency. While Taurus’ own aura is niche (limited to Faction Wars), this blessing enhances other champions’ auras, making him more versatile in multi-champion setups. Use Case: Excellent for supporting teams that rely on strong auras for additional stats. These blessings work seamlessly with Taurus’ skills, elevating his performance in both early and late-game scenarios. Gear Recommendations To maximize Taurus’ utility, prioritize gear that enhances&nbsp;accuracy,&nbsp;speed, and&nbsp;survivability. Primary Stats Chestplate Attack Percentage for damage output in a soft-nuker build. HP Percentage to improve survivability, especially after using&nbsp;Toxic Nova. Gauntlets Crit Rate to boost his damage output. Boots Speed to ensure Taurus acts before your poison activators. Substats Priority Accuracy: Key for landing poisons and debuffs; aim for 400+ for endgame content. Speed: Helps Taurus align with speed-tuned teams and act before enemies. HP and Defense: Provide survivability after his **[Unkillable]** buff expires. Crit Rate and Crit Damage: Useful for extra damage but secondary to survivability. Recommended Artifact Sets Perception: Boosts Accuracy and Speed, crucial for debuff reliability and turn order. Immortal: Adds HP and healing for better sustainability. Fury: Enhances damage output when Taurus’ HP is low, synergizing with&nbsp;Toxic Nova. Accuracy: Straightforward option for higher debuff success rates. Speed: Ensures Taurus maintains an effective turn rotation. Synergies Taurus pairs exceptionally well with champions who can activate poisons or provide healing/revival: Xavia: Instantly activates poisons, enabling devastating wave-clearing power. Elenaril: Combines poisons for explosive damage. Revivers/Healers: Champions like&nbsp;Duchess Lilitu or&nbsp;Arbiter ensure Taurus stays in the fight after his A3. Use Cases Dungeons Dragon’s Lair: Taurus shines as a poison specialist, particularly in speed-tuned poison activation teams. Ice Golem: His AOE poisons whittle down enemies during wave battles. Doom Tower Effective against waves and certain bosses that are susceptible to poison damage. Clan Boss A niche pick due to the risk from his self-damaging A3. Pair with sustain-focused allies to mitigate his vulnerabilities. Conclusion Taurus is a powerhouse of poison damage, capable of devastating waves and bosses alike with his unique skill set. By gearing him for accuracy, survivability, and speed, and pairing him with synergistic teammates, you can unlock his full potential. Whether you’re an early-game player seeking progression or a veteran optimizing an endgame team, Taurus deserves a spot in your roster. Unlock the true potential of Taurus and let the poison flow!
