Here I share with you my analysis on the Hydra Clan Boss relating to how much Accuracy we need on our champions for the various Hydra difficulties and how much Resistance we will need if we want to try to stop the Head of Mischief stealing our champion buffs.

<ul>
	<li>For Normal difficulty we would need around 400 RES to stop the Hydra Head of Mischief, but this is already not enough for the higher difficulties where we would need close to 500 RES - see the first table below.</li>
	<li>We usually use around 220 ACC for the "regular" Clan Boss and this ACC is enough for the first 2 difficulties of the Hydra.</li>
	<li>However, for Brutal we need to bump this up to 250-300 ACC, which is not a huge problem, BUT:</li>
	<li>For Nightmare we would need to go up to 400 ACC which is significantly more - see the 2nd table below.</li>
</ul>

Additional note:

RAID players can try to use Decrease Accuracy debuff, but the issue with this is that the Head of Decay keeps cleansing making it very difficult or unpredictable (especially on Auto) and over many turns they will probably get a few openings which will be enough to become a huge problem for the team resulting in a poor Hydra battle performance.

Every Debuff in RAID: Shadow Legends Explained (2025 Guide)

Surviving in&nbsp;<a href="https://www.raidshadowlegends.com" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">RAID: Shadow Legends</a> isn’t just about brute force—it’s about building smarter. Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned player, damage mitigation is essential if you want your champions to stand their ground against the game’s toughest content. In this guide, we’ll break down every major way to reduce incoming damage so you can keep your team alive longer and push deeper into PvE and PvP battles. Masteries: The Foundation of Mitigation The&nbsp;Defense tree is where your damage mitigation journey begins. These masteries stack up to create real durability on your champions: *&nbsp;Blastproof: Reduces AOE damage by 5%. Great for PvE content like Dungeons and Clan Boss. *&nbsp;Improved Parry: Cuts incoming critical hit damage by 8%. Ideal for Arena where crits are frequent. *&nbsp;Delayed Death: Reduces damage from the same enemy by 6% (stacks over time). *&nbsp;Selfless Defender: Redirects the first hit of each round to this champion, reducing it by 20%. *&nbsp;Bulwark: Decreases all damage your allies take by 5%—a simple but effective global reducer. *&nbsp;Shadow Heal: Heals your tank when enemies heal, giving sustained value in longer fights. Buffs: Powerful Tools for Team Survival Buffs are one of the most impactful and accessible ways to mitigate incoming damage: *&nbsp;Increase Defense (60%): Raises total defense after all gear and masteries are applied. Vital for defense-based teams. *&nbsp;Strengthen (25%): Straight reduction in damage taken—an endgame staple. *&nbsp;Ally Protection (50%): Redirects half of the incoming damage to one champion, spreading the pain. *&nbsp;Shield Buffs: Acts as temporary HP. Found on champions like Valerie early on, and from sets like Bolster. Relics: Late-Game Lifesavers Relics are newer tools that offer specialized mitigation effects: *&nbsp;Royal Digit: 20–50% chance to reduce incoming damage by 10%—fantastic for healers and revivers. *&nbsp;Golden Elixir: Heals 10% HP when dropping below 50%—perfect for sustain. *&nbsp;Aspect of Siroth: Mitigates fatal damage and reduces turn meter—a must-have for clutch revives. Artifact Sets: Gear Up for Survival When it comes to gear, specific sets go beyond stats and provide raw damage reduction: *&nbsp;Stone Skin: Temporary immunity and damage reduction. Ideal in Arena but countered by Bombs and HP Burn. *&nbsp;Guardian Set: Absorbs 10% of damage dealt to allies and heals the wearer. *&nbsp;Defiant Set: Offers up to 45% AOE mitigation when used in triple sets. *&nbsp;Bolster Set: Starts each round with a protected shield—very hard to strip or remove. Accessories: Hidden Layers of Protection Accessories aren't just about stats—some sets offer game-changing effects: *&nbsp;Reaction Accessories: 25% chance to convert critical hits to normal hits before your first turn. * This reduces both damage and the chance of receiving debuffs. * Stacks with multiple pieces for better coverage. Passive Abilities: Built-In Defense Some champions come with passive abilities that offer incredible protection: *&nbsp;Duchess Lilitu: 25% AOE damage reduction (15% from bosses). *&nbsp;Pythion: Reduces damage by 5% per buff on allies, up to 25%. *&nbsp;Tagore: Reduces damage taken by allies below 50% HP by 10%. These passives don’t require activation and are always in effect, making them invaluable in prolonged fights. Synergy Stacking: Building the Unkillable When you combine all these mitigation methods, the numbers become insane. For example: *&nbsp;Duchess (25% AOE reduction) *&nbsp;Triple Defiant Set (45% AOE reduction) *&nbsp;Reaction Accessories (25% crit mitigation chance) *&nbsp;Blastproof + Improved Parry (5–8% more) *&nbsp;Strengthen + Ally Protect Buffs (up to 75% combined) Together, you could be looking at over&nbsp;90% effective damage reduction, making your champions nearly unkillable in the right setup. Conclusion RAID: Shadow Legends offers a surprising amount of flexibility when it comes to staying alive. Whether you’re a new player experimenting with mastery trees or a veteran min-maxing accessories and relics, there’s always another way to reduce incoming damage. Mastering these mitigation techniques won’t just help you survive—it’ll carry your account through endgame content and give you an edge in Arena and PvE alike.

Every Free Campaign Farmable Champion Worth Building in 2025

Embrys is the kind of champion that reminds you why <a href="https://www.raidshadowlegends.com" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">RAID: Shadow Legends</a> continues to thrive. Introduced as a Mythical from Chimera, Embrys is not just another powerful champion—he’s a perfectly designed masterpiece, offering flexibility, deep mechanics, and game-changing abilities that can turn the tide of battle in both PvE and PvP. This guide will dive deep into everything you need to know: Embrys’ skills, how Necrosis works, the best gear and masteries for his builds, and why he’s arguably the most complete Mythical champion available. Who Is Embrys? Embrys is a farmable Mythical champion from Chimera. He switches between two distinct forms—his base support form and his alternate damage-dealing form. His kit is loaded with crowd control, AoE debuffs, damage over time via Necrosis, and some of the best utility in the game for both Arena and endgame PvE content. More than just a nuker or support, Embrys can fill almost any role depending on your build: a buff-stripping support, a debuff spammer, a tanky nuker, or a reflect-damage trap. Champion Aesthetics Aesthetically, Embrys stands out as one of the most visually stunning designs in RAID history. From the intricate bone-like armor to his alternate form’s Lovecraftian weapon—complete with a disturbing eyeball—he embodies a dark and haunting presence perfect for the Knights Revenant faction. <a href="https://youtu.be/AYSIrf65jaI" target="_blank"><img src="https://api.flotiq.com/image/0x0/_media-ad5d220a-ecad-45a2-88be-4f5d2a7d382c.PNG" title="Embrys the Anomaly" alt="Embrys the Anomaly" style="width: 799px; height: 469px; display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"></a> His visual transformation between forms mirrors his gameplay: controlled chaos followed by unrelenting destruction. It’s rare to see such cohesion between art design and gameplay mechanics, but Plarium absolutely nailed it here. <a href="https://youtu.be/AYSIrf65jaI" target="_blank"><img src="https://api.flotiq.com/image/0x0/_media-c65b6397-874e-44bb-b2d7-a4d4dbf2d933.PNG" title="Embrys the Anomaly" alt="Embrys the Anomaly" style="width: 800px; height: 470px; display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"></a> Embrys Skill Overview Base Form – Support &amp; Setup A1 – Fetted Glaive - AoE attack that reduces enemy MAX HP by 3% (up to 30%). - Increases duration of a random debuff on each enemy. - If enemies have Necrosis, this attack cannot be resisted. A2 – Void Stare - Applies True Fear (1 turn) and Decrease ATK (2 turns) to all enemies. - Grants an extra turn. - Debuffs are irresistible against Necrosis-afflicted enemies. A3 – Unmaking - AoE that removes Stone Skin (guaranteed unless weak hit). - Converts positive buffs into debuffs (e.g., Increase ATK ➝ Decrease ATK). - Steals turn meter and applies Decrease Turn Meter (20%). - Does not require accuracy if Necrosis is present. This A3 is the answer to Stone Skin-heavy metas. Forget 50% chances—Embrys just deletes it. Passive – Degenerator - When an enemy is killed, applies Necrosis to all remaining enemies. - Necrosis deals 5% MAX HP damage per stack at the start&nbsp;and end of Embrys’ turn. - Cannot be cleansed, resisted, blocked, or affected by Polymorph. Aura: Increases HP of all allies in all battles by 35%. Alternate Form – Nuker &amp; Finisher A1 – Deterrence - Single-target hit. If it kills, it blocks revive. - Extremely useful against champions like Marichka, Nehkret, or Rotos. A2 – Atomize - AoE damage with double effect: -&nbsp;Double Damage to enemies with lower Accuracy. -&nbsp;Ignores 50% DEF if enemy Accuracy ≥ Embrys’. - Deals massive damage against both nukers and tanks. A3 – Life Swap - Swaps HP with an enemy (fully heals against bosses). - Increases Ignore DEF by 10% each use (up to 50%). - Grants an extra turn. Passive – Death Dealer - If a fatal hit is incoming, places Revive on Death first. - Reflects 50% of damage taken, including surplus damage. Necrosis – The Hidden Meta-Breaker Necrosis is a unique mechanic exclusive to Embrys. Once an enemy dies, stacks are placed on all remaining enemies. What it does: - Deals 5% MAX HP per stack twice per turn. - Cannot be resisted, blocked, or removed. - Not affected by debuff limits—stack 11? No problem. How to remove it: - Reviving an ally removes one stack. - Applying Stone Skin temporarily removes it—but it returns once the Stone Skin drops. - Block Revive prevents stack removal entirely. By combining Block Revive from his A1 with Necrosis, Embrys&nbsp;locks in unavoidable damage. Best Builds for Embrys Arena Build – Low Accuracy (Recommended) Gear Sets: Stone Skin + Lethal / Relentless Main Stats: - HP% on Chest and Gloves - Speed on Boots - Accuracy optional (ideally 150–250 max) Pros: - Guaranteed Stone Skin removal - Polymorph-proof - Focuses on reflect damage, survivability, and nuking via base stats Arena Build – High Accuracy Gear Sets: Accuracy + Perception / Relentless Target Accuracy: 300–350 Pros: - Utilizes full debuff kit (especially helpful vs teams without high RES) - More control in prolonged fights - More consistent Necrosis activation on squishy teams PvE Solo Build Gear Sets: Regeneration + Speed / Immortal Focus Areas: Doom Tower (Waves, Scarab King), Sand Devil, Centronos Pros: - Sustain through HP - Control through Necrosis and Debuffs - Strong enough to solo specific content Mastery Setup For Arena (Low ACC Build) Offense Tree - Deadly Precision - Heart of Glory - Wrath of the Slain - Flawless Execution Defense Tree - Tough Skin - Resurgent - Delayed Death - Retribution For Arena (High ACC Build) Support Tree - Pinpoint Accuracy - Charged Focus - Swarm Smiter - Lore of Steel - Master Hexer Note: Avoid too much Accuracy if you're going low-ACC to prevent triggering Polymorph. Best <a href="https://raidhq.gg/raid/blessing" target="_blank">Blessings </a>for Embrys Soul Reap – Ideal for nuking builds. Great finishing ability that punishes low-HP targets. Nature’s Wrath – Best for PvE setups that rely on constant debuffs. Polymorph – Viable for high-accuracy Arena builds, though risky. Brimstone – Can work in PvE boss fights but is less impactful due to Necrosis mechanics. How to Use Embrys – PvP Strategy Embrys has flexibility depending on the enemy team: Against Stone Skin-heavy teams - Open with A3 (Unmaking) to strip Stone Skin - Take extra turn → switch form → swap HP → nuke with Atomize or secure Block Revive kill Against non-Stone Skin setups - Open with A2 (Void Stare) for AoE True Fear &amp; Decrease ATK - Take extra turn → apply Necrosis → chain nukes or sustain via passive Vs Revivers - Use Deterrence (A1 in alt form) to Block Revive - Necrosis remains locked in as long as they can’t revive Vs Tanky/Defensive Comps - Atomize shines with ignore DEF - Focus on stacking ignore DEF through Life Swap Reminder: Lightning Cage can block Stone Skin removal. If you’re struggling vs Lightning Cage teams, you may need to focus on damage over control. Embrys in PvE Content While he’s built for Arena, Embrys is no slouch in PvE. His ability to solo Sand Devil, control Doom Tower waves, and remove buffs makes him a strong asset across: Doom Tower: Great for control and debuff extension Scarab King: HP burn and max HP destroy combo Sand Devil: Can solo with Regen build Centronos: Crowd control via debuffs and turn meter control Embrys the Anomaly Lore The wretched being named by ‘his’ master as Embrys, or ‘the Anomaly’ by others, was never supposed to exist. He was neither conceived, carried, nor born. ‘Accident’ is the best explanation Grand Arcanist Kelezar, a Knight Revenant of the Cult of K’Leth, can give. He calls himself Embrys’ ‘master’, but he and everyone around him knows that to be self-flattering at best. It all began with the quest of some Knights Revenant to find a cure for the dread illness known as Stormwind rot, an agonizing wasting disease which originates in the Stormwind Wastes, where the Cultists of K’Leth operate in large numbers. The illness is so potent it infects the soul, following infected Knights Revenant from body to body, even damaging the soul gems they depend on to preserve their spirits in Teleria. Many Knights established underground arcane laboratories in the Stormwind Wastes to find a solution, using relics, dark magic, slaves, and animals in countless depraved experiments, racing to be the first. Nothing worked. But there were results that defied explanation. Test subjects went catatonic or bloodily exploded before a spell was cast or they were exposed to an artifact. Books of dark magic refused to be opened. Animals physically merged into horrific constructs without warning. Relics known to have deadly potency fell inert or suddenly turned on their owners in murderous rampages. There was a power here beyond the combined knowledge of the best Knights Revenant arcano-scholars and esoteri-mages. Kelezar hypothesized it was connected with the Stormwind rot, and desired to study and weaponize it. He believed mastering this force could grant him far more power than just being able to cure Stormwind rot, and dared dream he could do both. In the face of opposition from his colleagues Kelezar turned on them all, killing or driving them away before seizing their sites, acolytes, and resources. The Grand Arcanist had his followers dig tunnels between as many of the laboratories as possible and increased the number and complexity of experiments. Given the perplexing nature of this force they had discovered, most tests were little more than observations of whatever happened to the subjects. As often as not, cultists setting up the experiments were engulfed in them as well, mutated, rendered hysterically happy, ripping each other limb from limb, or becoming inert. Many terrible beasts were formed, the largest of which Kelezar called the Chimera, a monstrous hybrid of slave Skinwalkers, lions, rams, and venomous snakes, which possessed terrifying intelligence. Kelezar had no idea the power was Uncreation itself, brought there when the Demon Lord tore into Teleria through the Brimstone Gate centuries after the Sin of Dragons. It could not be controlled. It behaved, not according to any will, but because it just behaved. One of its manifestations was the spontaneous growth of hundreds of amniotic sacs, some the size of a hen’s egg, others titanic. Each carried a creature which clawed and cut its way into the world. Some died quickly, dissolving to fleshy paste once exposed to the air, or eaten by another beast. Hundreds survived, to Kelezar’s delight. The first of these was Embrys. ‘He’ is also the most physically and magically stable. He is a musclebound, towering brute with pallid, lilac skin, blood red eyes, and pulsating crimson veins. Thick, fleshy, protruding spikes and writhing tentacles burst from his back and along one arm. Over his head – or perhaps it is his head – lies a hood of the same royal purple, vein-threaded substance. For some time Kelezar and his acolytes observed Embrys. The being crafted himself armor and took an enormous, heavy-bladed ax from the detritus that lay within the warren of tunnels. Kelezar marveled as he killed cultists hunting other creatures born from the region’s bizarre magic, or interlopers who had found their way inside. He possessed remarkable affection for the Chimera, their bond to this day inexplicable. Kelezar’s ego could not have been more stoked when, of its own volition and without explanation, Embrys came to him, offering his weapon, from then on becoming the Grand Arcanist’s chief, silent enforcer. In Kelezar’s council meetings, Embrys stands at his right shoulder, tentacles wriggling, eyes glaring, veins throbbing. To be merely in his presence – except for Kelezar, for reasons unknown to all – is deeply disturbing, in a different way each time. Sickness, existential angst, migraines, and a deep sense of foreboding are common. Further unease is inspired by Embrys’ physical form. His tentacles move according to their own whims, sometimes caressing their host or fighting with each other, or drifting in the air like seaweed in an ocean current. The final component of Embrys’ intimidating quality is his ax. Were the enormous weapon in his gigantic fists not enough, the blade itself sports a growth of tentacles, with slime-drenched bulbous growths embedded within them. These are sentient and ever-hungry, given names and doted on by Embrys like a besotted father. He feeds them gibbets of meat whenever he pleases, but sometimes this is insufficient and they screech in ravenousness. In these hungry moments they eagerly lash out to tear into the necks of passers-by. Embrys does not realize that at times it is they who control him, not the other way around. On occasion, Embrys takes a different form, one of a mortal man in the garb of a K’Lethi Cultist, bedecked in symbols of death, though some of his veins still paint red rivulets across his skin. It was years before Kelezar knew he could do this, and the Grand Arcanist and his council wonder how often he transformed before they noticed. What might he have seen or heard, wandering about the laboratories in disguise? Is this, or his monstrous form, his true form? Might the impossible power of the Wastes allow him to present as he wishes, in front of anyone, or even appear differently to each individual in a group to better have the impact he wishes to have? Such is the mystery of Uncreation made manifest. Final Verdict – Is Embrys Worth Building? Without question -&nbsp;YES. Embrys is one of the most versatile champions RAID has ever released. Whether you build him as a disruptive support, a nuke-happy menace, or a PvE solo powerhouse, he delivers consistent results across all content. With guaranteed Stone Skin removal, reflect damage on death, unremovable Necrosis stacks, and extra-turn chains, Embrys is a tactical monster who rewards smart play and adapts to any situation. TL;DR – Embrys Cheat Sheet ✅ Guaranteed Stone Skin removal (Unmaking) ✅ Necrosis = massive HP burn that can’t be resisted ✅ Strong in both support and nuker roles ✅ Two viable builds: Low-ACC for PvP, High-ACC for control ✅ Game-changer in Arena &amp; strong solo PvE champ

Embrys is one of the strongest Mythical champions in RAID: Shadow Legends. Learn how to build Embrys, master his alternate form, and dominate PvE and PvP battles.

His synergy with Hex, his ability to punish teams relying on Life Barrier&nbsp;and Ally Protection, and his AOE control make him a versatile tool in content ranging from Hydra Clan Boss to Doom Tower and Arena. Full Skill Breakdown Echobolt (A1) Attacks 1 enemy twice. The first hit has a 75% chance to place a [Hex]&nbsp;debuff for 2 turns. The second hit grants a 30% [Increase C. DMG]&nbsp;buff to Lysanthir for 2 turns. - Excellent synergy starter for his A3 - Helps boost his own damage output Wiley Hunter (A2) – Cooldown: 5 turns Attacks 1 enemy 2 times. Has a 20% chance to repeat the attack. When counterattacking or joining an Ally Attack, Lysanthir uses this skill instead of his default A1. Gains +10% damage per Devoured ally (up to 50%)—perfect for Hydra. - High single-target burst potential - Scales effectively in Hydra battles Runed Snares (A3) – Cooldown: 5 turns AOE attack that hits all enemies 2 times. Each hit has a 75% chance of placing [Decrease SPD]&nbsp;and [Weaken]&nbsp;for 2 turns. If enemies are under [Hex], the debuffs land before the damage hits. - Provides excellent AOE control - Combos effectively with [Hex] to secure debuffs early Survivalist Supreme (Passive) Ignores [Life Barrier]&nbsp;and [Ally Protection]&nbsp;buffs. For each active buff on Lysanthir, his DEF increases by 5%, stacking up to 50%. - Ideal for buff-heavy team comps - Hard counters protection-based Arena and PvE mechanics Aura Increases Ally DEF in all Battles by 28% Fusion Event Overview The Lysanthir Beastbane Fusion Event&nbsp;is expected to follow the Fragment Fusion format, where you’ll collect 100 Fragments&nbsp;across in-game events and tournaments to summon the Champion directly. Likely Events That Award Fragments: - Champion Training Events - Summon Rush &amp; Champion Chase Tournaments - Dungeon Divers - Classic Arena Takedowns - Dungeon Tournaments (Dragon, Fire Knight, Ice Golem, Spider) - Artifact Enhancement Events How to Prepare: - Save&nbsp;Mystery Shards&nbsp;for Champion Chase - Farm&nbsp;silver and gear&nbsp;for Artifact Enhancement and Dungeon Divers overlap - Level up food champions&nbsp;for the training events - Be strategic with energy usage -&nbsp;expect overlaps that reward double progress Is This a Difficult Fusion? Given Lysanthir’s value, the event is likely to include some high milestone thresholds—especially in Champion Training&nbsp;and Summon Rush. You can usually expect 115–120 total fragments available, allowing you to skip one or two events if needed, but you’ll want to participate in the big ones. Best Use Cases Hydra Clan Boss Lysanthir’s damage scaling with Devoured allies, coupled with Hex and debuffs, makes him an excellent pick for top-tier Hydra teams. Doom Tower AOE crowd control, defense scaling, and enemy debuffing allow him to hold his own in both waves and boss fights. Faction Wars One of the most reliable defensive picks for High Elves, Lysanthir will easily help you secure 3-star clears. Arena While not a classic nuker, his ability to bypass protection buffs allows for strategic counterplay—especially in Tag Team Arena. Champion Synergies To get the best out of Lysanthir, consider pairing him with: Buff-heavy allies: Siphi, Lydia, Seeker, Ursala Hex enablers: Ruel the Huntmaster, Thea the Tomb Angel Ally Attackers: Kreela, Lanakis DEF boosters: Sandlashed Survivor, Vogoth Final Thoughts: Should You Go for This Fusion?

Lysanthir Beastbane Joins RAID: Shadow Legends – Fusion Even...

Lysanthir Beastbane Joins RAID: Shadow Legends – Fusion Event Launches April 7th!

Lord Entertainer Fabian is even better than expected. This champion brings&nbsp;relentless control, petrification, and True Fear mechanics to the battlefield, making him one of the strongest&nbsp;lockdown champions in <a href="https://www.raidshadowlegends.com" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">RAID: Shadow Legends</a>. If you're looking to&nbsp;disrupt enemy teams, shut down buffs, and keep turn meters in check, Fabian is your guy. But how do you build him for&nbsp;maximum impact? Let’s break it all down. <a href="https://youtu.be/WibQUzMecW4" target="_blank"><img src="https://api.flotiq.com/image/0x0/_media-2f869374-6140-4bfe-9076-5e98a3255377.PNG" title="Lord Entertainer Fabian" alt="Lord Entertainer Fabian" style="width: 800px; height: 469px; display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"></a> Skills – Why Fabian is a Control Monster A1 – Service and Death - Double hit that steals&nbsp;10% turn meter per hit&nbsp;(20% total). - Places&nbsp;True Fear for 2 turns if the target’s turn meter is fully depleted. - Works great against&nbsp;bosses, Arena teams, and PvE waves. A2 – Unwelcome Guest (3-turn cooldown when booked) -&nbsp;Single-target attack that applies&nbsp;Petrification for 1 turn. - Places&nbsp;True Fear on all enemies who aren’t already under Fear or True Fear. -&nbsp;Passive effect: Auto-triggers whenever an enemy under Fear or True Fear uses a skill. This ability is&nbsp;game-changing in Arena, completely shutting down enemy teams. A3 – Spectral Flourish (4-turn cooldown when booked) -&nbsp;AoE attack that removes&nbsp;enemy buffs by 3 turns. -&nbsp;Increases all enemy skill cooldowns by 3 turns. -&nbsp;Grants an extra turn if enemies have no buffs left afterward. Against&nbsp;buff-heavy Arena teams, this move is a&nbsp;nightmare for your opponents. Passive – Ghost With the Most - Whenever an enemy revives, they&nbsp;get True Fear for 2 turns. -&nbsp;Removes all crowd control debuffs from Fabian before his turn starts. This passive makes&nbsp;Fabian hard to lock down -&nbsp;he’s always ready to take action. Masteries – Best Setup for Fabian Fabian relies heavily on landing debuffs and stealing turn meter, so his masteries should maximize Accuracy, speed control, and survivability. Recommended Mastery Path Support Tree (Primary Focus for Accuracy &amp; Turn Meter Control) Eagle Eye – Provides +50 Accuracy, ensuring Fabian can reliably land Petrification, True Fear, and Buff Removal. Arcane Celerity – Grants a Turn Meter boost whenever a debuff expires or is removed. Master Hexer – Increases the duration of debuffs Fabian places. Swarm Smiter – Increases Accuracy when more enemies are alive, useful for wave-based content and Arena. Defense Tree (For Counterattacks &amp; Extra Turn Meter Gain) Retribution – Grants a counterattack when Fabian loses 25% of his HP from a single hit. Deterrence – Grants a counterattack whenever an ally is hit with a Crowd Control (CC) debuff. Bloodthirst – Provides healing when Fabian lands debuffs, improving his survivability. We avoided Warmaster, since Fabian is not a damage dealer—his focus is control and debuffs, not raw DPS. Best Gear for Fabian Fabian is all about&nbsp;control, speed, and accuracy. His kit revolves around&nbsp;locking down enemies with Petrification and True Fear while removing buffs and increasing cooldowns. Stat Priorities Speed – Fabian needs to take his turn before enemies, especially in Arena. Accuracy – Essential to land&nbsp;Petrification, True Fear, Turn Meter steals, and Buff removals. HP% / Survivability – Helps him stay alive long enough to disrupt enemy teams.&nbsp; Stone Skin + Pinpoint&nbsp;– Provides extra protection&nbsp;in case Fabian doesn't go first and helps counter Polymorph teams. Feral Set&nbsp;– Maximizes Polymorph protection&nbsp;while increasing Accuracy. Triple Perception&nbsp;– If you want to maximize Accuracy, this is the best setup. Speed + Stone Skin&nbsp;– Keeps Fabian fast while adding protection. Triple Speed or Speed + Accuracy Mix&nbsp;– Ensures Fabian goes first&nbsp;in most battles. Recommended Gear Stats Weapon: ATK, SPD, ACC Helmet: HP, SPD, ACC Shield: DEF, SPD, ACC Gauntlets: HP% (or Crit Rate if needed) Chestplate: Accuracy Boots: Speed Fabian&nbsp;does not need damage -&nbsp;he is a&nbsp;pure control champion. His main job is to land debuffs, steal turn meter, and prevent enemies from taking turns. If you’re building him specifically for Arena,&nbsp;Accuracy is more important than Speed. If his A3 doesn’t land, his turn speed won’t matter. Best Relic for Fabian Since Fabian is a&nbsp;control champion, his relic should enhance his survivability, Accuracy, or resistance to enemy CC. Wand of Submission - 25% chance to reflect CC debuffs back onto the attacker. - Provides Accuracy, making it easier to land Petrification and True Fear. - Counters Polymorph-heavy teams by reflecting the sheep effect back onto the enemy. Why Wand of Submission is Strong on Fabian Fabian relies on&nbsp;landing debuffs consistently. This relic adds&nbsp;Accuracy, making his skills more reliable. He is vulnerable to CC effects like Fear, Freeze, and Polymorph. This relic bounces those debuffs back to the enemy, ensuring Fabian can stay in the fight. If an enemy team tries to Polymorph him, he has a chance to turn the enemy into a sheep instead. Best <a href="https://raidhq.gg/raid/blessing" target="_blank">Blessings </a>for Fabian Fabian’s blessings should reinforce his role as a control champion, helping him land debuffs, gain protection, or lock down enemies further. Lightning Cage – Provides&nbsp;buff protection and prevents enemies from stripping his buffs too easily. Intimidating Presence – Boosts&nbsp;allies’ Speed auras while weakening enemy Speed auras, ensuring Fabian goes first in Arena. Temporal Chains – Applies&nbsp;Turn Meter reduction when enemies gain buffs, slowing down enemy teams over time. We prefer&nbsp;Lightning Cage or Temporal Chains for PvP builds, while&nbsp;Intimidating Presence is ideal if running Fabian as a Speed Aura lead. How to Counter Fabian If you’re&nbsp;facing Fabian, here’s how to&nbsp;beat him: High Resistance – He needs Accuracy to work.&nbsp;Duchess Lilitu, Wythir the Crowned, or high RES champions can block his debuffs. Immunity Buffs – Champions like&nbsp;Necret the Great or&nbsp;Ursuga Warcaller can apply Block Debuffs, preventing Fabian’s control. Speed Teams &amp; Buff Stripping – If Fabian gets locked down first, he’s useless. Use fast teams with Kymar, Warlord, or Yoshi to prevent him from acting. Lord Entertainer Fabian Lore For all his existence, Lord Entertainer Fabian has dwelled in Aravia. His father, Patrice, was a Kaerokean diplomat to the High Elves. In his youth Fabian was tutored in horse riding, swordsmanship, and magic, as any noble son of Aravia would. He was well-liked by his Elven teachers for his impeccable manners and his grace and style in all things. He was, they said, ‘exceptional for a Human’. For his part, Fabian loved the Aravians’ high standards, especially in the glamour of formal occasions. He longed to take a place in high society. Fabian admired the High Elves’ Festival of Creation celebrations most. His father periodically held them himself, until Fabian requested at his coming-of-age that he organize them. Patrice gladly granted permission, as the work was onerous indeed. Fabian relished it. Not only did he host an event annually, but within a decade they were regarded as the best in Aravia. The events Fabian held were seen as the embodiment of tasteful sophistication, a perfect balance of opulence and restraint. He carefully managed every last detail, whether that be the kind of lace used for his musicians’ costumes, the wine accompaniment to the eighth course, the precise shade of blue for napkins, or how many buttons his servers’ waistcoats should have. Fabian preferred just one thing to organizing his events: seeing his guests enjoy them. He hoped the High Elves would come to fully accept him, not just see him as an ‘exceptional’ Human. But they did not. The Aravians liked, even loved, Fabian, affectionately calling him the ‘Lord of Levity’, but he was never one of them. Fabian’s death was sudden and premature. His body was found with a terrible head injury, and the murder was never solved. By popular demand, Fabian was posthumously granted full citizenship by Queen Eva herself and declared ‘Lord Provisioner of the Grand Ball of the Festival of Creation’ in perpetuity. Furthermore, plans for the next three years’ worth of his parties were discovered in his private offices. A public fund ensured all were held to Fabian’s exact specifications and were celebrated successes, though a shade of sadness hung over them. Fabian had won his acceptance, but was not alive to experience it. In his silver filigree and mahogany coffin, Fabian did not rest well. His soul ached to return to Teleria, for he knew he had much life to live and many more magnificent events to hold. He burst from his grave the night of the third and final party he had planned before his death, and witnessed it unfold through a window. The joviality was wonderful to behold. He also saw his new spectral form — still bearing the marks of the injuries that killed him — reflected in the glass. He was wearing a beautiful party mask, one he’d commissioned for the very event he was witnessing. It seemed his mourners had used it as a funerary mask for him. Were he able to cry, he would have wept for hours. What had become of him to end up like this even he did not know. He knew however he could not join his guests in his condition. Fabian resolved to continue his work regardless. The very next year, he held a magnificently successful party. As far as the guests were concerned, an anonymous donor had volunteered to organize the event in Fabian’s honor, their name kept secret so as not to distract from that purpose. And so it has continued ever since, for years, the people believing that each event was funded by a private individual in Fabian’s memory. The ‘Lord Entertainer’, as he became known, lives in his mansion, his Undead soul bound to it and his ancestral staff due to his love for home and family in life. He cannot leave. But even if he could, to do so would render him extremely vulnerable. Being Undead, necromancers and Siroth himself can take control of his will. Fabian is safe only because of close friends. Not only did they discover him and not destroy him, they layered magical wards across his estate. Furthermore, they made the legal arrangements to protect his ownership of his mansion. Most importantly of all to Fabian, his friends keep him company. He finally knows how appreciated he is, and takes much joy seeing others enjoy his events, but it hurts him that his Undeath means he cannot partake in them. His friends’ smiles, their words of encouragement, all give him strength to continue. With King Tayba’s War raging, he has needed this more than ever, for he intends his next celebration to be his greatest yet, to bring cheer to his bloodied people and to prove his dedication to the High Elves. He is sorely tempted to appear before his guests and remove his mask. Final Thoughts – Is Fabian Worth Building? Yes, Fabian is absolutely worth it. He’s one of the&nbsp;strongest control champions in RAID and excels in Arena and wave-based content. His True Fear, Turn Meter steals, and Petrification make him a nightmare to fight.

Hey, RAIDers! Big news is coming your way!&nbsp;Plarium is launching a Progressive Chance Event, giving you a massive x15 increased chance&nbsp;to summon powerful Legendary Champions&nbsp;from Ancient, Primal, Sacred, and Void Shards! If you've been waiting for the perfect time to pull, this is it!&nbsp;&nbsp; What Is a Progressive Chance Event? A Progressive Chance Event&nbsp;is a limited-time summoning event that increases your odds of pulling specific Legendary Champions&nbsp;the more you summon. Here's how it works: With every non-Legendary&nbsp;summon you make during the event, your chances of pulling one of the selected Legendary Champions&nbsp;increase. The boost in odds is cumulative, meaning the more you summon, the higher your chances become. Once you successfully summon a Legendary Champion, the chance resets, and the process starts over for the next summons. This event applies to Ancient, Primal, Sacred, and Void Shards, so no matter what shards you have, you can take advantage of the increased rates. This makes Progressive Chance Events&nbsp;an amazing opportunity to maximize your resources and target specific high-value Champions&nbsp;rather than leaving your summons entirely up to luck! Event Schedule &amp; Featured Champions Tuesday, February 25 – x15 Progressive Chance Event On February 25th, you’ll have the opportunity to summon legendary powerhouses from a select champion pool, featuring: - Freyja Fateweaver - Vault Keeper Wixwell - Ragash - Kyoku - Helicath - Graazur Irongut - Tuhanarak - Belletar Mage-slayer Wednesday, February 26 – x15 Progressive Chance Event Round two kicks off on February 26th, featuring a&nbsp;new set of Legendary Champions, including: - Armanz the Magnificent - High Keeper Prysma - Thor Faehammer - Samson the Masher - Nethril - Odin Faefather - Riho Bonespear - Teumesia Why You Should Summon During This Event - Insane x15 Summon Rate! Your odds of pulling a top-tier Legendary are significantly higher. - Meta-Changing Champions! Many of these Champions are game-changers in PvE and PvP. - Ancient, Primal, Sacred &amp; Void Shards in Play! No matter which shard type you're using, the boost applies! - More Control Over Your Summons! Since the chance builds up progressively, you won’t feel like your shards are wasted. Final Thoughts If you're chasing one of these Champions,&nbsp;now is the best time to summon! Don’t miss out—this event is only running for&nbsp;two days, and with&nbsp;x15 boosted rates, this could be your best chance to land a game-changing Legendary.

Progressive Chance Event Incoming! x15 Summon Boost!

Are you looking to elevate your roster in <a href="https://www.raidshadowlegends.com" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">RAID: Shadow Legends</a>? Prepare yourself for not one, but two incredible Progressive Chance Events&nbsp;this February! These limited-time events will give you at least a x15 increased chance&nbsp;to summon some of the most powerful Legendary Champions&nbsp;from Ancient, Primal, Sacred, and Void Shards. Let’s dive into the details so you can make the most of these opportunities. What is a Progressive Chance Event? A&nbsp;Progressive Chance Event increases your likelihood of summoning specific champions, offering enhanced odds that grow as you continue to summon during the event period. Here’s how it works: Increased Summon Odds: During the event, champions from a selected pool will have a much higher chance to be summoned compared to regular summons. For this event, that means at least&nbsp;x15 increased odds for some of the best Legendary Champions in the game. Shard-Based Mechanics: You’ll need to use specific shard types -&nbsp;Ancient, Primal, Sacred, or Void Shards - to participate. Each shard type determines which champions you can summon, so stock up accordingly! Strategic Summoning: Unlike typical summoning events, Progressive Chance Events focus on a curated pool of champions. If you’re targeting a particular champion to complete your team, these events provide the perfect opportunity to summon with intent. These events are a must for players aiming to build a competitive roster, whether for dungeons, arena battles, or PvE progression. Event 1: February 11th On&nbsp;Tuesday, February 11th, the Progressive Chance Event kicks off, featuring increased summon rates for the following legendary champions: Arashi the Riptide:&nbsp;A versatile champion known for dealing massive AoE damage and controlling the battlefield. Duchess Lilitu:&nbsp;One of the best support champions in the game, offering incredible healing, damage mitigation, and revives. High Keeper Prysma:&nbsp;A powerful champion excelling in both PvP and PvE battles. Glaicad of the Meltwater:&nbsp;A tanky champion with abilities that boost survivability for your team. Tatura Rimehide:&nbsp;A standout champion for Clan Boss battles and dungeon runs. Yumeko:&nbsp;A top-tier control champion capable of manipulating turn meters and cooldowns. Little Miss Annie:&nbsp;A devastating single-target damage dealer, perfect for high-value eliminations. Vlad the Nightborn:&nbsp;A hybrid champion offering sustain, crowd control, and solid damage output. Each of these champions brings a unique skill set to the table, making this event the perfect time to fill gaps in your team’s composition. Event 2: February 12th The second event begins on&nbsp;Wednesday, February 12th, with an entirely new lineup of Legendary champions: Nekmo Thaar:&nbsp;An excellent champion for debuffing enemies and boosting ally speed. Staltus Dragonbane:&nbsp;A formidable defender who thrives against AoE attackers. Eostrid Dreamsong:&nbsp;A support champion focused on buffing allies and countering enemy buffs. Gwyndolin the Silent:&nbsp;A stealthy attacker with impressive burst damage. Morrigaine:&nbsp;A debuff specialist capable of weakening enemies for extended battles. Chalco the Blind:&nbsp;A unique champion with utility that excels in crowd control. Shu-Zhen the Valorous:&nbsp;A balanced champion with strong survivability and consistent damage. Krisk the Ageless:&nbsp;One of the most coveted champions in RAID, offering unmatched support, protection, and debuff capabilities. This lineup features some of the game’s most versatile champions, allowing you to build a team ready to tackle even the hardest content. Tips for Summoning Success Here’s how to prepare for these events and maximize your chances: Save Your Shards Ancient, Primal, Sacred, and Void Shards are essential for summoning during these events. Make sure you’ve stocked up ahead of time. Focus on Key Champions Identify which champions align with your team’s needs. Do you need a tank, a damage dealer, or a support specialist? Plan your summons around the champions that will strengthen your roster the most. Plan for Both Events With two events back-to-back, you’ll want to allocate your resources wisely to take advantage of both opportunities. Track Your Progress Since these events boost specific champion chances, keep track of how many summons you’ve done. Sometimes luck strikes early, but it’s always good to know how much further you’re willing to go. Event Details Recap Event 1 Date: February 11th (24 hours only) Event 2 Date: February 12th (24 hours only) Shard Types Required: Ancient, Primal, Sacred, and Void Shards Featured Champions: A mix of some of the most powerful Legendary Champions in the game. These events are your best chance to summon champions that can carry your team to new heights. Whether you’re aiming for PvP dominance, dungeon mastery, or Clan Boss victories, the champions in these events can make all the difference. Don’t Miss Out! The clock is ticking, and these Progressive Chance Events won’t last long. Mark your calendars for February 11th and 12th and be ready to summon your way to greatness.
