Coldheart is one of the most iconic Rare champions in RAID Shadow Legends. She has a very unique kit capable of both damage and suppression, making her very viable at all stages of play, early game to late game. You can view how she grades compared to all other Rare champions on our <a href="https://aftershockunited.gg/raid/champions" target="_blank">full champions tier list</a>.

Champion Guide Coldheart Infographic.png...

The most important things to remember when building Coldheart, is that you will need enough Accuracy to make sure she is able to deplete turn meter, and that you will only need 70% crit rate in most of her builds.&nbsp; This is because most of her damage and utility comes from her Heartseeker A3, which gets a bonus 30% chance to crit and also decreases target turn meter by 100%.

She is a pretty squishy champion however, so you will want to get enough HP on her to not be the primary target of enemies, and means that she performs a bit better in more optimized teams as opposed to being a great progression account carry champion.

The latest <a href="https://www.raidshadowlegends.com" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Raid</a> Digest for May 2026 brings a smaller update, but there are several useful clarifications that players should pay attention to. The headline item is a promising quality-of-life improvement planned for a future major update, with Plarium confirming that Cursed City and Grim Forest battles are expected to work alongside Background Battles.

&nbsp;

<a href="https://youtu.be/F-VGvkUMNT8" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"><img src="https://img.youtube.com/vi/F-VGvkUMNT8/maxresdefault.jpg" alt="RAID Digest for May 2026 - Some Promising News" style="max-width: 100%; height: auto;"></a>

&nbsp;

<h2>Cursed City and Grim Forest Background Battle Update</h2>

 The biggest piece of news from this Digest is that Plarium is planning to introduce the ability to run battles in Cursed City and Grim Forest in parallel with Background Battles. This is not live yet, and Plarium only described it as something planned for one of the upcoming major updates, so players should treat this as an upcoming feature rather than an immediate change.

&nbsp;

Still, this is a positive step for account efficiency. Being able to farm something like Ice Golem, Dragon, Spider, Fire Knight, or another Background Battle activity while also progressing through Cursed City or Grim Forest would save a meaningful amount of time, especially during busy event windows. It is not the full “run anything while doing anything” system that many players would ideally want, but it is a clear improvement for two areas of the game that can otherwise take a lot of manual attention.

&nbsp;

<h2>Fusion Token Clarifications</h2>

 Plarium also clarified how Fusion Tokens work. Fusion Tokens are earned by completing Fusion and Mixed Fusion events. Fragment Summon events, including the current Masahiro Fragment Summon event, do not award Fusion Tokens.

&nbsp;

The difference matters because Fusion and Mixed Fusion events appear in the Fusion tab of the Summoning Portal, while Fragment Summon events are handled through their own separate Fragment Summon tab. Fragment events still let players collect Champion Fragments toward a specific Champion, but they do not count as Fusion Token events.

&nbsp;

Plarium also confirmed that Champions from recent Fusion, Mixed Fusion, and Fragment Summon events will be added to the Fusion Champion Swap pool at the beginning of 2027. That means players who missed certain 2026 event Champions may eventually see them added to the swap pool, although the exact Champion cost will still depend on how Plarium tiers them in the system.

&nbsp;

<h2>How Fusion Champion Swapping Works</h2>

 Fusion Champion Swapping lets players replace the target Champion in an active time-limited Fusion Event with a previous Fusion or Fragment Event Champion they missed. However, only eligible Champions can be chosen, and the available swap options depend on the player’s roster.

&nbsp;

There is one important catch: if a player already collected 100 Fragments for a Champion, that Champion is treated as obtained even if they have not actually summoned them yet. In that case, they cannot be selected as a Fusion Swap target.

&nbsp;

Fusion Token costs are divided into tiers. Tier 1 Champions cost 3 Fusion Tokens, Tier 2 Champions cost 2 Fusion Tokens, and Tier 3 Champions cost 1 Fusion Token. Once a player swaps the target Champion, the Tokens are deducted, and that specific Fusion Event will no longer award a Fusion Token. If the player fails to complete the swapped Fusion Event, the Tokens are returned when the event expires.

&nbsp;

<h2>Sparring Pit Auto-Leveling Points</h2>

 Another useful clarification concerns the Sparring Pit. Champions in the Sparring Pit show real-time progress, but the actual level increase only applies when the Champion is removed from the slot. This is intended behavior.

&nbsp;

Because of that, progress and points for quests, events, and tournaments only count when the Champion is taken out of the Sparring Pit. This includes Deck of Fate and Path Events. In practical terms, if players are trying to collect points from Sparring Pit leveling, they need to remove the Champion from the slot after the levels are gained. Simply leaving them inside while the progress bar moves will not immediately count those levels for event scoring.

&nbsp;

<h2>Auto-Equip Will Not Strip Gear From Other Champions</h2>

 Plarium also clarified the Auto-Equip feature. Using Auto-Equip will not remove gear from other Champions in the player’s collection. It only selects from available gear in inventory, meaning existing Champion builds remain unchanged.

&nbsp;

That makes Auto-Equip safer than some players may have assumed, but it also means it will not automatically pull the best possible gear from already-built Champions. If a key nuker, support, or boss specialist is already wearing a strong piece, Auto-Equip will leave that item alone.

&nbsp;

<h2>Siege Loading Issue Under Investigation</h2>

 The Digest also addressed a frustrating Siege issue. Some players have reported Siege battles getting stuck on the loading screen, with Attack Scrolls being consumed even though the battle is not recorded in the log and no rematch is allowed.

&nbsp;

Plarium confirmed that the team is aware of the issue and is investigating it. This is especially important because Siege attacks are limited, clan-focused, and high-impact. Losing a scroll to a loading issue can directly affect a clan’s Siege performance, so this is one of the more important bug-related notes in the Digest.

&nbsp;

<h2>Free Silver Treasure Tickets Through the Web Store</h2>

 Players who do not use the Android app or Plarium Play can still claim a free daily Silver Treasure Ticket. Plarium confirmed that the ticket is available through the official web store in the Packs tab.

&nbsp;

This is more valuable for early-game and free-to-play accounts than it may first appear. Treasure rewards can include useful progression items, and even a single strong reward can make a noticeable difference on a newer account. On a late-game account, the system may feel less impactful, but for newer players, free daily chances at useful rewards are worth claiming consistently.

&nbsp;

&nbsp;

<h2>Upcoming CvC Has No Personal Rewards</h2>

 The Digest also confirmed that the upcoming Clan vs. Clan Tournament will not include Personal Rewards. That is an important planning note for players who usually save resources for Personal Reward CvC windows.

&nbsp;

For most accounts, this means the upcoming CvC should be treated more carefully. Clan contribution still matters, but without Personal Rewards, players may want to be more selective about how many books, forge materials, Champion upgrades, or other resources they commit unless their clan is specifically pushing hard.

&nbsp;

<h2>Overall Thoughts on the May 2026 Raid Digest</h2>

 This is not the largest Raid Digest, but it does include practical information. The planned Cursed City and Grim Forest Background Battle support is the standout announcement because it directly addresses time management, one of the biggest pressure points in modern Raid. The Fusion Token clarification is also important because it prevents confusion around Fragment Summon events and helps players understand why Masahiro’s Fragment Summon does not award a Token.

&nbsp;

The Sparring Pit note, Auto-Equip clarification, free Treasure Ticket reminder, and Siege bug update are all smaller items, but they each affect day-to-day account management. Overall, this Digest is a positive one, especially if the upcoming Background Battle expansion arrives smoothly in a future major update.

&nbsp;

<h2>New Player Download Link</h2>

 New players can use the current download link to start with Tholin Foulbeard, Fahrakin the Fat, Uugo, and Tagoar.

&nbsp;

<h2>Conclusion</h2>

 The May 2026 Raid Digest delivers a practical set of updates rather than a massive announcement. The planned ability to run Cursed City and Grim Forest alongside Background Battles is the most promising news, while the Fusion Token clarification helps clear up confusion around Fragment Summon events. Add in the Sparring Pit scoring reminder, Auto-Equip clarification, Siege issue investigation, free Silver Treasure Ticket access, and no Personal Rewards for the next CvC, and this Digest gives players several useful details to keep in mind while planning their next week in Raid.

RAID Digest May 2026 covers Cursed City and Grim Forest background battles, Fusion Token clarifications, Sparring Pit points, Siege issues, and more.

RAID Free Login Champions Build Guide for New Players in 2026!

Plarium is putting Void Shards under serious pressure this week with a stacked summon setup in <a href="https://www.raidshadowlegends.com" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Raid: Shadow Legends</a>. Starting Friday, May 15th, RAID is launching a 2x Void Shard event, a 10x chance for Tekteon Fissureflesh, and a Champion Chase Tournament tied to Masahiro the Bell Monk’s Perfect Soul.

&nbsp;

<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TWJnkVk_T2g" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"><img src="https://img.youtube.com/vi/TWJnkVk_T2g/maxresdefault.jpg" alt="Plarium is REALLY Testing Me With This Shard Event 10x for Tekteon" style="max-width: 100%; height: auto;"></a>

&nbsp;

This is one of those events that looks simple on paper but creates a real decision point for players. A 2x Void event is already the best time to open Void Shards if you are chasing Epic and Legendary pulls. Adding Tekteon Fissureflesh as the 10x target makes it much more tempting, especially because he is one of the strongest recent Void Legendaries released into the game.

&nbsp;

<h2>2x Void Shard Event and Tekteon 10x Explained</h2>

 The event begins on Friday, May 15th. During the 2x Void event, players will have double the normal chance to summon Epic and Legendary Champions from Void Shards. At the same time, Plarium is running a 10x event for Tekteon Fissureflesh from Void Shards.

&nbsp;

One important detail is that the Tekteon 10x event will be one day shorter than the 2x Void event. That means players who specifically want Tekteon need to pay attention to the event timing rather than assuming the boosted target will last for the full Void weekend.

&nbsp;

The hard part is that a 10x event does not guarantee the featured Champion. It only improves the odds of that specific Champion appearing if you hit the correct rarity. For Void Legendaries, that still makes this a risky shard event, even when the target Champion is excellent.

&nbsp;

<h2>Why Tekteon Fissureflesh Is Such a Strong Target</h2>

 Tekteon Fissureflesh is a Void Legendary from the Argonites, and his kit is built around survivability, control, and cooldown disruption. He brings Poison Cloud, Taunt, protected Shields, AoE hits, Stun chances, and enemy cooldown increase all in one Champion.

&nbsp;

His passive places a Poison Cloud buff on himself at the start of each round, reduces the damage he takes from critical hits, and increases his MAX HP whenever enemies hit him. Weak hits increase his MAX HP even faster, which works especially well with Poison Cloud forcing weak hits unless enemies can remove it or counter it with HP Burn.

&nbsp;

His A3 places Taunt and Poison Cloud on himself for 3 turns, places a protected Shield on all allies, and then grants him an Extra Turn. That lets him immediately follow up with his A2, which attacks all enemies twice, places Shatter on himself before attacking, ignores Shield, Strengthen, and Increase DEF buffs, and increases enemy skill cooldowns by 2 turns on each hit.

&nbsp;

That is why Tekteon is such a dangerous PvP Champion. He is not just a tank. He can protect the team, bait attacks with Taunt, survive through Poison Cloud and critical damage reduction, and then punish the enemy team with a heavy AoE cooldown lockout. His A1 also attacks all enemies twice with a chance to place Stun, giving him even more control after the opening turn.

&nbsp;

<h2>Where Tekteon Fits Best</h2>

 Tekteon’s biggest value is clearly in PvP, especially Live Arena, Classic Arena, and high-end defensive or control-focused teams. His kit gives him multiple ways to disrupt enemy momentum, and the double-hit AoE cooldown increase makes him a serious answer into teams that rely on fast skill rotations.

&nbsp;

He also has use outside Arena. Any content with waves can benefit from AoE Stuns, team shielding, and cooldown control. Faction Wars, Doom Tower waves, and other PvE areas can all make use of that kind of control package, even if his main appeal is the PvP side of the game.

&nbsp;

For accounts that already have elite lockout or control Champions like Fabian, Krixia, Hegemon-style disruption, or other premium PvP tools, the question becomes more specific: does Tekteon improve your account enough to justify spending Void Shards now? For accounts without that kind of Champion, he is much easier to justify as a high-impact target.

&nbsp;

<h2>Masahiro Perfect Soul Champion Chase</h2>

 Alongside the Void events, RAID is also launching a Champion Chase Tournament where players can compete for a Perfect Soul for Masahiro the Bell Monk. Masahiro is the current Shadowkin Legendary fragment Champion, and this tournament gives players a chance to earn a higher-rank soul depending on account level.

&nbsp;

The reward structure is based on both placement and minimum points:

Level 1–41 players can earn a 3-star Masahiro Perfect Soul, with a 2,000-point minimum requirement.

 Level 42–64 players can earn a 4-star Masahiro Perfect Soul, with a 3,000-point minimum requirement.

 Level 65–100 players can earn a 5-star Masahiro Perfect Soul, with a 5,000-point minimum requirement.

&nbsp;

The catch is that the Perfect Soul is tied to first place in your tournament group. Even if you meet the point requirement, you still need to finish first. If you finish first but do not meet the minimum point requirement, you will not receive the Perfect Soul. That makes this a risky winner-takes-all setup, especially for players who get matched into a competitive group.

&nbsp;

<h2>Should You Pull Void Shards?</h2>

 This is a strong event, but it is also exactly the kind of event that can drain saved resources quickly. The best argument for pulling is the overlap: 2x Void odds, Tekteon as the 10x target, Champion Chase points, and a chance to push for Masahiro’s Perfect Soul all happening together.

&nbsp;

The argument against pulling is also clear. Tekteon is not guaranteed, 10x odds are still volatile, and the Champion Chase soul is only awarded to first place in each group. A player can spend a lot of shards and still miss both the featured Champion and the top tournament placement.

&nbsp;

For players working on the Masahiro fusion, this event can help with Champion Chase fragments and tournament progression. For players holding Void Shards for another specific Champion, especially another top-tier Void Legendary, the safer approach may be to pull only a portion of the stash rather than going all-in.

&nbsp;

<h2>Event Efficiency Tips</h2>

 Before opening shards, check your Champion Chase group and your actual goals. If your goal is simply to earn Champion Chase fragments for Masahiro, you do not need to chase first place unless the Perfect Soul is a realistic target. If your group turns into a whale race early, it may be better to secure milestone rewards and stop rather than trying to force a leaderboard win.

&nbsp;

Players with saved fragment summons or fusion-ready Champions should also consider whether those can help with Champion Chase points. Champion Chase rewards points for acquiring Champions, so fragment summons can sometimes be used strategically during this kind of event.

&nbsp;

The most sensible approach for many accounts is a controlled pull. Open enough Void Shards to reach the rewards you care about, then reassess. Tekteon Fissureflesh is an excellent Champion, but a 10x event is still not a guarantee, and the Masahiro soul tournament can become expensive fast if multiple players in the group decide to push hard.

&nbsp;

<h2>Conclusion</h2>

 The May 15th Void Shard event is one of the more tempting shard events RAID has offered recently. Tekteon Fissureflesh is a powerful Void Legendary with a high-end control kit, and the 2x Void overlap makes this a much better time to pull than a normal 10x event.

&nbsp;

At the same time, this is still a bait-heavy setup. The Tekteon boost does not guarantee him, and the Masahiro Perfect Soul tournament is locked behind first place in a 100-player group. For most players, the best move is to decide your shard limit before the event starts, aim for the rewards that genuinely matter to your account, and avoid getting dragged into a leaderboard fight that costs more than the reward is worth.

Tekteon Fissureflesh 10x Void Shard Event Guide in RAID Update

Two new Progressive Chance summoning events are coming to <a href="https://www.raidshadowlegends.com" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Raid</a>, with one event focused on Ogryn Tribes and another focused on Skinwalkers. These are not 2x shard events, so the base chance of pulling a Legendary Champion does not increase. Instead, once you do pull a Champion of the correct rarity, the selected Progressive Chance pool gives you a higher chance of landing one of the featured champions.

&nbsp;

That distinction matters. The champion pool in Raid is extremely large now, especially for Legendary Champions, so even a 15x Progressive Chance event should still be treated carefully. These events are best suited for players who are close to mercy, already planning to pull shards, or specifically targeting one of the standout champions in the lineup.

&nbsp;

 <img src="https://img.youtube.com/vi/ryEIgAgqghk/maxresdefault.jpg" alt="RAID 15x Summoning Events - Two Shard Events This Week" style="max-width: 100%; height: auto;">
 </a>



&nbsp;

<h2>May 12 Ogryn Tribes Progressive Chance Event</h2>

 The first Progressive Chance event begins on Tuesday, May 12, and focuses on Ogryn Tribes champions. The Legendary pool includes Vizug the Noxious, Grugtha Darkseer, Kroz Wallbreaker, First Ax Tuskkor, Stokk the Broken, Klaazag Keyhulk, Togron the Conjoined, and Diamant Coppercoin. The Epic pool includes Siegehulk, Uugo, Lorn the Cutter, Skraank, and Maneater.

&nbsp;

The biggest PvE standout from this group is Klaazag Keyhulk. He brings a powerful mix of AoE damage, Decrease Defense, Weaken, Decrease Accuracy, Decrease Resistance, Counterattack, Unkillable, Taunt, and enemy MAX HP damage through his kit. For players looking for a high-end PvE champion who can contribute across difficult content, Klaazag is one of the strongest names in this event.

&nbsp;

Stokk the Broken is another important champion to know. His value comes from Poison and HP Burn pressure, with mechanics that allow Poisons and HP Burns to ignore Block Damage and Unkillable when he is on the team. That has made him relevant in Arena at different points, and he remains a strong specialist for players who want damage-over-time pressure rather than standard nuking.

&nbsp;

Grugtha Darkseer is the newest and most unusual champion in the Ogryn lineup. She is a Magic Legendary Attack champion built around repeated AoE hits, HP equalization, DEF reduction, MAX HP destruction, self-healing, shields, and Turn Meter gain. Her kit is clearly designed for wave control and snowballing damage, though her final value will depend heavily on damage multipliers and practical testing.

&nbsp;

<h2>Grugtha Darkseer Kit Breakdown</h2>

 Grugtha’s A1, If Looks Could Kill, attacks all enemies and can place an extra hit on targets whose ATK is less than or equal to hers. Since she is an Attack-based champion, this gives her the potential to double-hit many enemies if built with enough Attack.

&nbsp;

Her A2, Siroth’s Favoured, is one of the more unique parts of her kit. Before attacking, she equalizes the HP of all enemies, setting them to the average HP level of the enemy team. If the average HP is above 50%, the skill ignores 30% of each target’s DEF. If the average HP is 50% or lower, she places an extra hit instead. She also increases her own ATK by 10% for each enemy killed by this skill, which gives her a clear snowballing design for wave content.

&nbsp;

Her A3, Bloody Poleax, attacks all enemies two times. Before attacking, she places Increase Critical Damage and Shatter on herself. The first hit decreases each target’s DEF by 10%, stacking up to 30%, while the second hit destroys each target’s MAX HP by 10%, stacking up to 60%. If she kills an enemy with the attack, she grants herself an Extra Turn.

&nbsp;

Her passive, Lover of Slaughter, gives her sustain and Turn Meter cycling. Whenever she lands a critical hit, she heals herself by 5% of her MAX HP. If she is already at full HP, those critical hits fill her Turn Meter instead. Because her kit contains multiple AoE attacks and multi-hits, this passive has strong potential in longer fights or wave-based encounters.

&nbsp;

<h2>Best Ogryn Epic Targets</h2>

 The Epic pool is also strong. Uugo remains one of the best Epic supports in the game thanks to her healing, Leech, Decrease Defense, and emergency revive-style utility. She is useful in Hydra, Faction Wars, Doom Tower, and general progression content.

&nbsp;

Maneater still has long-term account value because of his Block Damage and Unkillable utility, especially for Clan Boss team setups. He is not a new champion, but he remains one of those Epics that can completely change an account if the player needs his exact role.

&nbsp;

Skraank is a strong Epic HP Burn champion and is especially useful for players who need reliable burn damage. Alongside champions like Mordecai, he remains one of the better Epic burners available. Siegehulk and Lorn the Cutter are also worth noting, though Uugo, Maneater, and Skraank are the clearest account-changing names in the Epic pool.

&nbsp;

<h2>May 13 Skinwalkers Progressive Chance Event</h2>

 The second Progressive Chance event begins on Wednesday, May 13, and focuses on Skinwalkers champions. The Legendary pool includes Bolint Freewalker, Gnishak Verminlord, Mighty Ukko, Sun Wukong, Gwyndolin the Silent, Leorius the Proud, Teumesia, and Khoronar. The Epic pool includes Bowf the Rancid, Gnarox Blackhorn, Bovos Sharphorn, Akemtum, and Weregren Suncursed.

&nbsp;

Bolint Freewalker is the Faction Unity champion for Skinwalkers and is built around Stun control. His kit can remove buffs, place Stuns, fill Turn Meter, and help allies deal more damage against stunned enemies. He has a strong kit on paper, especially for faction-based setups, but his reliance on Stun means he can feel more limited in areas where bosses or enemies cannot be controlled that way.

&nbsp;

Gnishak Verminlord is one of the best bomb champions in Raid. He brings Bombs, Poisons, and strong wave-clearing pressure, making him valuable in Arena, Bommal, Doom Tower, and several PvE situations. While the current Arena meta may not always favor classic bomb teams, Gnishak still has a very strong account-wide kit.

&nbsp;

Mighty Ukko remains a strong support and reviver, especially because he brings buff control and team recovery. Sun Wukong is still a powerful and flexible champion, with strong Arena and Hydra utility thanks to his self-revive pressure, buff stealing, and disruptive kit. Gwyndolin the Silent is also worth attention for PvE players, while Teumesia remains a valuable HP Burn champion and can also serve as an empowerment option for Marius the Gallant.

&nbsp;

<h2>Best Skinwalker Epic Targets</h2>

 The Skinwalker Epic pool is less universally exciting than the Ogryn Epic pool, but there are still useful names. Akemtum is the main standout. He is a strong Poison-based champion with Hex synergy and can perform very well in wave content, Hydra-style damage setups, and areas where spreading debuffs gives the team extra value.

&nbsp;

Gnarox Blackhorn, Bovos Sharphorn, Bowf the Rancid, and Weregren Suncursed may have faction-specific or progression use, but most players pulling during this event will likely be aiming for the Legendary pool rather than the Epics.

&nbsp;

<h2>How Progressive Chance Events Work</h2>

 Progressive Chance events are often misunderstood. A 15x event does not mean your shard has a 15x higher chance to pull a Legendary Champion. Your base shard odds remain the same unless the event is specifically paired with a 2x shard event. What changes is the chance of pulling the selected champion after you have already hit the correct rarity.

&nbsp;

That means these events are much more appealing if you are already near mercy or if you were planning to pull anyway. If you are not close to mercy, the risk is simple: you can spend a lot of shards and still never reach a Legendary pull, never mind the specific champion you selected in the Progressive Chance pool.

&nbsp;

<h2>Who Is Worth Targeting?</h2>

 For the Ogryn event, Klaazag Keyhulk is the strongest overall PvE target. He brings elite debuffs, strong damage, and wide account use. Grugtha Darkseer is the most interesting new champion, but she is more speculative until players get more hands-on testing with her damage and practical team setups. Stokk the Broken is also worth knowing about for players who value Poison and HP Burn pressure that can ignore Block Damage and Unkillable.

&nbsp;

For the Skinwalkers event, Gnishak Verminlord is one of the safest high-value targets because Bomb champions with PvE and Arena utility are still rare. Sun Wukong and Mighty Ukko remain excellent account champions, while Bolint Freewalker is more appealing for players who specifically want a Skinwalkers Unity champion and are comfortable building around Stun-based control.

&nbsp;

<h2>Should You Pull Shards?</h2>

 The honest answer is that most players should be cautious. These are targeted Progressive Chance events, not boosted shard-rate events. If your account needs one of these champions and you are close to mercy, the event becomes more appealing. If you are low on shards, preparing for a fusion, or not close to mercy, it may be better to hold your resources.

&nbsp;

The strongest general targets are Klaazag Keyhulk for PvE power, Gnishak Verminlord for Bomb and Poison value, Uugo as an Epic support, Maneater for Clan Boss utility, and Sun Wukong or Mighty Ukko for broad account usefulness. Grugtha Darkseer and Bolint Freewalker are both interesting, but they are more account-specific picks rather than automatic shard targets for everyone.

&nbsp;

<h2>Conclusion</h2>

 This week’s two 15x Progressive Chance events offer some strong champions, but they are still selective shard events rather than guaranteed value. The Ogryn pool has excellent standouts in Klaazag Keyhulk, Grugtha Darkseer, Stokk the Broken, Uugo, Maneater, and Skraank, while the Skinwalkers pool brings major names like Bolint Freewalker, Gnishak Verminlord, Mighty Ukko, Sun Wukong, Gwyndolin the Silent, and Teumesia.

&nbsp;

If you are close to mercy and one of these champions fits a real need on your account, the events are worth considering. If not, the safer play is to remember that 15x does not improve the base Legendary odds and to save shards for a stronger summoning window.

RAID 15x summoning events bring Ogryn Tribes and Skinwalkers Progressive Chance pools featuring Grugtha Darkseer, Klaazag, Bolint, Gnishak, Uugo, and more.

Update 11.50 is now live in <a href="https://www.raidshadowlegends.com" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Raid: Shadow Legends</a>, bringing a mix of quality-of-life improvements, reward systems, champion balance changes, and a long list of bug fixes. This update is not centered on one single headline feature, but several smaller additions that affect daily account management, gear sorting, Doom Tower progression, resource conversion, and champion performance.

&nbsp;

<a href="https://youtu.be/XMWpHl9FaY4" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"><img src="https://img.youtube.com/vi/XMWpHl9FaY4/maxresdefault.jpg" alt="RAID Update 11.50 Review" style="max-width: 100%; height: auto;"></a>

&nbsp;

The biggest additions include the new Auto-Equip button, Background Auto-Climb for Doom Tower, Treasure Tickets through the Plarium Points Program, the Telerian Homecoming system, improved Gear filters, multi-crafting for Relics, and new Oil Mixer options. There are also important fixes for Total Guard interactions, champion passives, Live Arena issues, and several champion-specific bugs.

&nbsp;

<h2>Gear Auto-Equip: Useful, But Limited</h2>

 The new Auto-Equip feature is designed mostly for newer players who want a faster way to place gear on a champion without manually comparing every piece. The system checks the champion’s role and primary stats, then suggests gear based on stat value.

&nbsp;

The important limitation is that Auto-Equip does not properly account for Artifact Sets or advanced build requirements. That matters a lot in modern Raid, where sets like Stoneskin, Merciless, Supersonic, Savage, Protection, Bolster, Deflection, and others can be more important than raw stats depending on the champion and content.

&nbsp;

For early-game players, Auto-Equip can provide a starting point or give quick inspiration. For mid-game and end-game players, manual gearing is still the better approach, especially for Arena, Hydra, Chimera, Siege, Doom Tower hard stages, and specialist dungeon teams.

&nbsp;

<h2>Telerian Homecoming and Mentor Quests</h2>

 The update also adds Telerian Homecoming, a new reactivation program inside the Referral Program window. This system lets qualifying players invite friends back to Raid if those players have been inactive for more than 21 days. Players who act as Mentors can earn rewards as returning players complete the related quests.

&nbsp;

The concept is useful for players who already know former Raid players, but it is a demanding system for most accounts. The existing referral grind has always required a lot of commitment, and this new Mentor path appears to follow the same general direction. For many players, the practical question is whether they realistically know enough inactive players who are willing to return and progress through the required tasks.

&nbsp;

<h2>Xilico the Encrusted: New Lizardmen Legendary Reward</h2>

 One of the notable rewards tied to the new Mentor system is Xilico the Encrusted, a new Legendary Lizardmen champion. Xilico is a Defense-based support champion with a Speed aura for all battles, a single-target Unkillable and Counterattack skill, cooldown reduction, and a single-target revive.

&nbsp;

On paper, Xilico has useful tools, but the kit reads closer to a strong Epic than a standout Legendary. The single-target revive and ally support can help in some areas, but the champion does not immediately look like a must-have reward when compared with some of the stronger modern support champions in Raid.

&nbsp;

The comparison becomes especially noticeable when looking at other support-style champions who bring broader cleansing, healing, cooldown reduction, or team-wide utility. Xilico is not useless, but the amount of effort required through the Mentor system makes the reward feel more situational than essential.

&nbsp;

<h2>Treasure Tickets in the Plarium Points Program</h2>

 Treasure Tickets are another new addition in Update 11.50. They are tied to the Plarium Points Program and allow players to claim a randomly selected reward from a larger reward pool.

&nbsp;

There are three main reward routes connected to Treasure Tickets: 

<ul>
 <li>Free Draw: available once every 72 hours and equivalent to a Silver Ticket.</li>
 <li>Silver Tickets: available through specific shop-related sources, including a free daily Silver Ticket through supported official platforms.</li>
 <li>Gold Tickets: earned through monthly Plarium Points milestones and offering better odds at higher-value rewards.</li>
</ul>

&nbsp;

This system is easy to criticize because of its connection to the Plarium Points ecosystem, but the free draws are still additional rewards for players who check in regularly. The value depends heavily on the drop rates and reward pool, but more free resources are generally useful as long as expectations stay realistic.

&nbsp;

<h2>Trivia Dungeon Season 2</h2>

 Trivia Dungeon Season 2 is also returning shortly after the update. This community event is not a core gameplay system, but it remains worth watching for players who enjoy creator events, Raid trivia, and potential promo code opportunities.

&nbsp;

The roster includes several familiar Raid community names, with Nubs hosting and creators such as Kruysen and YST involved. Even for players who do not usually follow trivia-style content, these events can still be useful when they include limited promo codes or extra community rewards.

&nbsp;

<h2>Doom Tower Background Auto-Climb</h2>

 Doom Tower Auto-Climb can now run as a Background Battle feature. This is a practical quality-of-life improvement because players no longer need to keep Doom Tower climbing on the main battle screen while clearing floors.

&nbsp;

The current version is still limited by how Background Battles work overall. Players can manage certain account tasks while Doom Tower runs in the background, but the system does not yet allow everything players might want, such as running other full battle modes at the same time. Even so, this is a meaningful improvement for daily and monthly Doom Tower clearing.

&nbsp;

<h2>New Gear Filters</h2>

 The new Gear filters are one of the more practical parts of the update. Players can now filter gear by specific levels, exclude pieces that lack certain substats, and filter based on whether gear has been Ascended.

&nbsp;

This is especially useful for account cleanup. Filtering unlevelled pieces makes it easier to find gear that still needs to be rolled, while substat exclusion helps during mass-selling sessions. For players sitting near Artifact and Accessory storage caps, better filters are not flashy, but they save real time.

&nbsp;

<h2>Multi-Crafting Relics</h2>

 Relic crafting also received a quality-of-life improvement. Players can now craft up to 10 Relics at once instead of crafting them one by one. This will matter most for players who hoard Relic materials before crafting in batches.

&nbsp;

For players who craft Relics immediately whenever enough materials are available, this change will feel minor. For players who save materials for larger sessions, especially content creators or long-term hoarders, it removes a repetitive step from the process.

&nbsp;

<h2>Oil Mixer Improvement: Chaos Dust and Chaos Powder</h2>

 The Oil Mixer improvement is one of the strongest account-management changes in Update 11.50. Players can now convert excess Superior Oils into Chaos Dust and Superior Extracts into Chaos Powder.

&nbsp;

This is valuable because Chaos Dust and Chaos Powder are important for rerolling Artifact Ascension and Accessory Ascension outcomes. Many accounts end up with extra Oils or Extracts while still lacking enough reroll materials, so this gives players a direct way to turn surplus resources into something more useful.

&nbsp;

The downside is the Silver cost. Converting large amounts can become very expensive, so players who are always low on Silver will need to decide carefully when the exchange is worth it. Still, as a long-term option, this is a strong addition because it gives more value to resources that might otherwise sit unused.

&nbsp;

<h2>Septimus Buff Review</h2>

 Septimus received a notable rebalance in this update. The headline improvement is access to AoE enemy MAX HP damage on a three-turn cooldown, which is a serious upgrade compared with his older version.

&nbsp;

That said, the value of the buff depends on where players intend to use him. AoE enemy MAX HP damage is strong for boss and wave content, but Septimus still needs to be judged against other enemy MAX HP champions and modern damage dealers. The buff is clearly better than before, but it is fair to be cautious before calling him a top-tier answer everywhere.

&nbsp;

<h2>Yoshi the Drunkard Buff Review</h2>

 Yoshi the Drunkard received a much more exciting buff. His base Speed is now stronger, and his kit has improved utility across several areas of the game.

&nbsp;

Yoshi now brings a strong combination of Increase ATK, Increase ACC, turn meter boost, and True Fear pressure. His AoE Decrease ACC and HP Burn on a short cooldown also make him more useful in PvE content, while Decrease RES adds extra value in areas where landing debuffs consistently matters.

&nbsp;

The result is a champion who now has a much clearer role. Yoshi can help with accuracy setup, offensive support, crowd control, HP Burn utility, and Chimera-relevant debuff coverage. This is the cleaner and more impactful rebalance of the two champion buffs covered here.

&nbsp;

<h2>Important Champion Fixes and Total Guard Interactions</h2>

 Update 11.50 also includes a large number of champion fixes. Several of these matter because they involve Total Guard, one of the newer defensive mechanics in Raid. Total Guard interactions have been a major balance point since its arrival, so fixes that affect counters, debuff placement, bonus damage, and passive interactions are important.

&nbsp;

Notable fixes include issues involving Mighty Ukko and Ronda not applying debuffs properly after removing Total Guard, fixes to Total Guard blocking HP equalization, HP swap, and Turn Meter equalization effects, and a fix involving Vulkanos not applying HP Burn or activating bonus damage correctly from Deflection Set interactions against enemies under Total Guard stacks.

&nbsp;

There were also fixes for champions such as Queen of Hearts, Fabian, Solenar the Gleaming, Craxas, Valencia the Thraw Mother, Blizaar the Howler, Hekaton, Lukian the Steadfast, Pelops the Victor, and others. The full list is long, but the general direction is positive: more champion kits should now behave the way their skill text suggests.

&nbsp;

<h2>Live Arena and General Bug Fixes</h2>

 The update also addresses several general bugs, including Live Arena friendly battle issues, problems where one player could win and another could lose when both final champions died at the same time, visual bugs, champion avatar issues, loading problems, Artifact filter selection issues, and various interface-related problems.

&nbsp;

Bug fixes are rarely the most exciting part of a patch, but they are important for long-term game health. This update contains a substantial number of them, especially around newer mechanics and champion interactions that needed cleanup.

&nbsp;

<h2>Conclusion</h2>

 Update 11.50 is a quality-of-life-heavy patch with a few meaningful gameplay implications. Auto-Equip is mainly useful for newer players, while experienced accounts will still need manual gearing. Doom Tower Background Auto-Climb, Gear filters, Relic multi-crafting, and the Oil Mixer improvement are more practical long-term additions, especially for players managing large accounts.

&nbsp;

Treasure Tickets add another reward layer to the Plarium Points Program, and Telerian Homecoming gives players a new way to earn rewards through returning players, although the system may be difficult for many players to complete. On the champion side, Yoshi the Drunkard appears to be the more exciting rebalance, while Septimus is improved but still needs proper testing to determine where he truly stands.

&nbsp;

Overall, Update 11.50 is not one of Raid’s flashiest updates, but it does bring several useful account-management tools and a meaningful wave of bug fixes. For daily players, the Oil Mixer changes, Doom Tower background progress, and improved Gear filtering are likely to be the most useful parts of the patch.

RAID Update 11.50 brings Auto-Equip, Treasure Tickets, Doom Tower Background Auto-Climb, Oil Mixer changes, Yoshi buffs, Septimus updates, and bug fixes.

<a href="https://www.raidshadowlegends.com" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">
Raid: Shadow Legends</a> continues to refine its competitive systems with new updates to Live Arena scoring alongside a fresh set of 15x Progressive Chance events. These changes aim to improve fairness in matchmaking while also giving players targeted opportunities to summon specific champions.


&nbsp;


 <a href="https://youtu.be/zdYs9zJQhtE" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">
 <img src="https://img.youtube.com/vi/zdYs9zJQhtE/maxresdefault.jpg" alt="New Live Arena Scoring &amp; 15x Events">
 </a>


 Below is a full breakdown of the Live Arena changes and which champions stand out in this week’s summoning events.


&nbsp;

Live Arena Scoring Changes (Starting May 5, 2026) 


Following server maintenance, a new scoring system has been implemented and officially goes live with the new season beginning May 5, 2026. 

&nbsp;


The core goal is to make point gains and losses more reflective of match difficulty rather than pure volume of play.


&nbsp;

Key Changes: 


• Points gained per win now depend on the difference between you and your opponent 
• Beating lower-ranked opponents gives fewer points 
• Losing to higher-ranked opponents results in smaller penalties 
• A major threshold exists at 1320 points, where scaling becomes more aggressive 


&nbsp;


Before 1320 points, players gain fewer points when defeating weaker opponents but maintain relatively low penalties on losses. After 1320 points, losses become more punishing if you are favored, making rank progression more skill-based rather than grind-based.


&nbsp;


While this system improves fairness, it still leans heavily on activity volume. Players who grind extensively can still climb, but efficiency and match selection now matter more than before.


&nbsp;

Ongoing Issues &amp; Future Improvements 


This update is only the first step. Planned improvements include: 


• Better matchmaking 
• Improved pacing of matches 
• Easier milestone progression 
• Overall smoother seasonal progression 


&nbsp;


A notable concern remains match pacing. Long draft timers and stalling continue to affect the experience. A potential solution discussed by the community is a shared “chess clock” system, where total time is limited per player instead of per turn.


&nbsp;

Progressive Chance Events (May 5 &amp; May 6, 2026) 


Two Progressive Chance events run back-to-back this week:


&nbsp;

May 5 Event Highlights 


Top Legendary Targets: 


• Lady Noelle – Elite reviver with strong crowd control 
• Gallcobar (Son of the Pact) – Unique cleanse and sustain mechanics 
• Granite Doorkeeper – High survivability with strong hybrid utility 
• Feral the Barkhorn – Exceptional PvE support (Hydra standout) 


&nbsp;


Top Epic Picks: 


• Uugo – One of the best debuffers and revivers for Hydra 
• Stonebound – Strong control and utility option 


&nbsp;


Feral the Barkhorn stands out as one of the best PvE supports available, offering Veil, Decrease Accuracy, Block Buffs, and team-wide utility—especially valuable in Hydra teams.


&nbsp;

May 6 Event Highlights 


Top Legendary Targets: 


• Fyna – One of the strongest Unity champions with massive synergy scaling 
• Glacia – Excellent PvP control and counter-meta potential 
• Niamhe, the Returned – Top-tier support across all content 
• Cardiel &amp; Warlord – Still among the best Void legendaries 


&nbsp;


Among all options, Niamhe stands out as the most universally impactful champion. She provides: 


• Block Damage 
• Ally Protection 
• Healing and shielding 
• Decrease Attack and Crit Rate on enemies 


&nbsp;


Fyna is another standout, particularly for players running High Elf compositions or ally-attack setups, offering strong buffs and damage scaling.


&nbsp;

Important Note on Progressive Chance 


Even with increased odds, Progressive Chance events do not guarantee specific champions. The chance to pull the selected champion remains low, even if you summon a Legendary, so expectations should be managed accordingly.

&nbsp;

Conclusion 


The new Live Arena scoring system is a step toward a fairer competitive environment, rewarding stronger matchups and reducing exploitation of weaker opponents. However, pacing and grind-based progression remain concerns that future updates will need to address.


&nbsp;


As for this week’s events, there are several high-value champions available, but careful shard management is still essential. Players should prioritize champions that meaningfully improve their accounts rather than chasing every opportunity.

RAID Live Arena scoring changes arrive May 2026 alongside 15x events. See the full breakdown, best champions, and summoning strategy for this week.

RAID Live Arena Scoring Update & 15x Champion Events Guide

Fusion Tokens have become one of the more strategic systems in <a href="https://www.raidshadowlegends.com" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Raid: Shadow Legends</a>, allowing players to swap fusion champions for alternatives across different tiers. Choosing the right champion can have a major impact on your account, especially when deciding between PvE progression and Arena performance.

&nbsp;

In this guide, we break down the best champions to target in each Fusion Token tier and explain exactly how the system works so you can make informed decisions.

&nbsp;

<img src="https://img.youtube.com/vi/LVozwwX_ycI/maxresdefault.jpg" alt="Best Fusion Token Champions RAID Shadow Legends" style="max-width: 100%; height: auto;">
</a>


&nbsp;

How the Fusion Token System Works

&nbsp;

Fusion Tokens allow players to replace the final reward champion in a fusion event with another champion from a predefined tier list. These tokens are typically earned through special events such as Titan Events or limited-time activities. 

&nbsp;

Each tier requires a different number of tokens: 

• Tier 3 requires 1 Fusion Token 
• Tier 2 requires 2 Fusion Tokens 
• Tier 1 requires 3 Fusion Tokens

&nbsp;

It is important to note that using a Fusion Token does not skip the fusion itself. Players must still complete all requirements of the event, including collecting and upgrading the necessary champions.

&nbsp;

Additionally, you cannot select a champion you already own, and not every new champion is included in the system. Some fusion champions are excluded entirely from token swaps.

&nbsp;

One of the most important strategic elements is that tiers are not adjusted after buffs. This means weaker champions placed in lower tiers can become significantly more valuable if they receive balance changes later.

&nbsp;

Tier 3 (1 Token) – Best Value Picks

&nbsp;

Tier 3 is generally the weakest pool, but it can offer strong value due to recent buffs and future potential.

&nbsp;

Top Picks: 

• Yoshi the Drunkard – Recently buffed and now provides strong utility and debuffs 
• Harvest Jack – Improved significantly and offers solid control 
• Bambus Fourleaf – Another buffed champion worth considering

&nbsp;

Yoshi and Harvest Jack stand out as the best value choices in this tier, especially considering their low token cost.

&nbsp;

Tier 2 (2 Tokens) – Balanced Power Picks

&nbsp;

Tier 2 offers a strong balance between accessibility and performance, with several champions capable of contributing across multiple areas of the game.

&nbsp;

Top Picks: 

• Mad Hatter – Highly versatile with strong overall utility 
• Granite Doorkeeper – Effective in both PvE and PvP 
• Sanguinia Maria – Excellent Arena-focused option

&nbsp;

Other notable options include Moragane for healing reduction and Tholan for damage output, depending on your account needs.

&nbsp;

Tier 1 (3 Tokens) – Elite Champions

&nbsp;

Tier 1 contains some of the most powerful champions available through the Fusion Token system.

&nbsp;

Best PvE Pick: 
Nekhret the Great – One of the strongest PvE champions, offering immediate impact and improved efficiency across multiple areas.

&nbsp;

Best PvP Pick: 
Fabius – A top-tier Arena champion capable of countering key meta threats and disrupting enemy teams.

&nbsp;

Conclusion

&nbsp;

Fusion Tokens reward patience and planning. While Tier 1 champions provide immediate power, Tier 3 options can offer exceptional long-term value due to buffs and tier placement limitations. The best approach is to evaluate your account needs carefully and decide whether you need immediate progression or future flexibility.

Best Fusion Token Champions in RAID (Tier List Guide)

The latest <a href="https://www.raidshadowlegends.com" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Raid: Shadow Legends</a> Digest focuses heavily on Live Arena, with Plarium outlining planned changes to matchmaking and Season Points. There are also several bug fixes on the way, a personal rewards Clan vs Clan Tournament, and a short update on the recent Live Arena cheating controversy.

&nbsp;

<a href="https://youtu.be/eqS2rtXbO_o" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"><img src="https://img.youtube.com/vi/eqS2rtXbO_o/maxresdefault.jpg" alt="RAID May 2026 Digest Live Arena Fixes and Cheating Update" style="max-width: 100%; height: auto;"></a>

&nbsp;

<h2>Live Arena Matchmaking Changes Planned</h2> 

The main focus of this Digest is Live Arena. Plarium confirmed that matchmaking improvements remain a priority, with a dedicated update currently in development and planned for early summer. The goal is to reduce repeated opponent matchups and improve how players are paired as they climb through the ranks. 

This is important because Live Arena currently creates some uneven matchups, especially when highly developed accounts are paired against players with far less progression. A stronger matchmaking system should make matches feel more appropriate and reduce situations where one player clearly does not belong in the same fight pool.

&nbsp;

<h2>Season Points Are Also Being Reworked</h2> 

Plarium also plans to revisit how Season Points are earned and lost. The current system does not always reflect individual performance properly, so the upcoming changes are intended to reward meaningful play and make point losses feel more fair based on the context of each match. 

That is one of the biggest issues with Live Arena right now. If a weaker account beats a stronger account, the reward should feel meaningful. If a heavily developed account loses against a weaker opponent, the point loss should reflect that. A more accurate points system would help Live Arena feel more competitive and less grind-based.

&nbsp;

<h2>Cheating Scandal Overview</h2> 

The recent Live Arena cheating and boosting controversy is still a major topic in the community, but the Digest points toward Plarium focusing on system-level fixes rather than punishment. According to Ash, Plarium indicated that after reviewing the situation, they do not currently intend to punish players involved on either side. Their position appears to be that the issue was tied more to flaws in matchmaking and Live Arena structure than a direct Terms of Service violation. 

The practical takeaway is simple: Plarium appears to be aiming to close the loopholes by improving matchmaking and Season Points instead of issuing bans or retroactive penalties. That will not satisfy everyone, especially players who wanted stronger action, but it does show where Plarium intends to focus its response.

&nbsp;

<h2>Queen of Hearts Bug Fix</h2> 

Queen of Hearts is also getting a bug fix. Her passive, Hail To The Queen, is currently not granting an Extra Turn under certain circumstances. This is expected to be fixed in the nearest release. 

This matters because her passive is designed to punish enemy teams that receive large numbers of buffs. For every 10 buffs the enemy team receives, Queen of Hearts should gain an Extra Turn. When that passive fails to trigger correctly, it directly reduces her value in buff-heavy Arena matchups.

&nbsp;

<h2>Mavara Passive Bug Fix</h2> 

The Digest also confirmed a bug affecting the Fusion Champion Mavara. Her Theridine Visions passive is not always triggering the Turn Meter boost correctly. The passive should count buffs even when those buffs are applied at the start of the round. 

This fix is not expected in the next release, but it is planned for one of the upcoming releases. For players using Mavara, this is a meaningful correction because Turn Meter effects can heavily influence Arena tempo, Hydra rotations, and general team cycling.

&nbsp;

<h2>Clan vs Clan Personal Rewards</h2> 

The next Clan vs Clan Tournament will include personal rewards. As always, personal rewards weeks are usually the more important CvC cycles for players who are already planning to use resources, since individual milestone rewards are available alongside clan progression. 

That does not automatically mean every account should push hard. The best approach is still to line up upgrades, books, forging, artifact work, and champion development only if those actions already make sense for the account.

&nbsp;

<h2>Conclusion</h2> 

The May 2026 Raid Digest is mostly centered on Live Arena, and that is probably where the attention belongs right now. Matchmaking, Season Points, repeated opponents, and exploit-prone systems all need tightening if Live Arena is going to feel fair long-term. 

The cheating scandal remains a sensitive topic, but Plarium’s current direction appears to be system correction rather than player punishment. Alongside that, Queen of Hearts and Mavara have important bug fixes on the way, and the next CvC will include personal rewards.

RAID May 2026 Digest covers Live Arena matchmaking, Season Points, key bug fixes, CvC personal rewards, and Plarium’s cheating response.

RAID May 2026 Digest: Live Arena Fixes & Cheating Update

Yoshi &amp; Septimus are both receiving buffs in May 2026, and while both champions see improvements, the impact is far from equal. One rework meaningfully upgrades a previously overlooked champion into a versatile option across multiple game modes, while the other feels more like a modest adjustment that doesn’t fully solve long-standing limitations.

&nbsp;

If you’re evaluating whether these buffs are worth your time or resources, here’s a clear breakdown of what changed and how each champion performs after the update.

&nbsp; 


<a href="https://youtu.be/McEDfpQSrMg" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">
<img src="https://img.youtube.com/vi/McEDfpQSrMg/maxresdefault.jpg" alt="Yoshi &amp; Septimus Buff Breakdown">
</a>


&nbsp;

<h2>Septimus Buff Breakdown</h2>

 Septimus has long been known for his Enemy MAX HP damage, especially on his signature ability, but over time he fell behind more efficient options like Royal Guard. This buff attempts to reinforce his identity without redesigning his kit.

&nbsp;

Key Changes: 

• A1 now ignores 30% DEF 
• A2 (Holy Sword) now deals increased damage, is AoE, and has a 3-turn cooldown 
• Passive debuff extension is now irresistible (30% chance) 
• Damage scaling improved when enemy MAX HP exceeds Septimus’ HP 
• Aura increased to 30% ATK in all battles

&nbsp;

On paper, these changes look solid. The addition of AoE damage on his A2 and improved scaling does increase his usability, especially in Faction Wars and certain PvE encounters.

&nbsp;

However, the core issue remains: he still doesn’t bring enough utility or consistency to compete with top-tier MAX HP nukers. While stronger than before, he doesn’t redefine his role or push into top-tier relevance.

&nbsp;

Verdict: A clear improvement, but still a niche pick. More viable, not meta-defining.

&nbsp;

<h2>Yoshi the Drunkard Buff Breakdown</h2>

 Yoshi receives a much more impactful rework, transforming him into a well-rounded support with strong debuff control, turn meter manipulation, and AoE utility.

&nbsp;

Key Changes: 

• A1: 40% chance to stun, otherwise places Decrease RES 
• A2: Now AoE with 100% chance (booked) to place HP Burn + Decrease ACC 
• A3 (Battle Toast): 
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;– Increase ATK + Increase ACC (unchanged) 
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;– True Fear now 100% on all enemies 
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;– Adds 20% Turn Meter boost to all allies 
• Passive: Increased TM gain (5% per enemy buff) 
• Base Speed increased from 103 → 108

&nbsp;

This is a significant upgrade across the board. Yoshi now brings: 

• Reliable AoE HP Burn for PvE 
• Strong crowd control with guaranteed True Fear 
• Team support via Turn Meter boost and buffs 
• Improved speed and cycling for faster rotations

&nbsp;

The combination of utility, debuffs, and cooldown efficiency makes him viable in multiple areas including Arena, Hydra, and Chimera-style encounters where multi-condition interactions matter.

&nbsp;

Verdict: A well-executed buff that elevates Yoshi into a strong, flexible support option.

&nbsp;

<h2>Final Comparison</h2>

 The contrast between these two buffs is clear: 

• Septimus: Better numbers, same limitations 
• Yoshi: Expanded kit, improved utility, stronger overall value

&nbsp;

Septimus benefits from improved damage and consistency, but doesn’t fundamentally change his standing in the meta. Yoshi, on the other hand, gains meaningful tools that allow him to contribute across multiple team compositions and game modes.

&nbsp;

<h2>Conclusion</h2>

 This update shows two different approaches to champion balancing. One reinforces an existing role without pushing it further, while the other expands a champion’s toolkit in a way that increases both viability and flexibility.

&nbsp;

If you’re choosing between the two, Yoshi is the clear winner in terms of overall value and usability. Septimus is improved, but still sits behind stronger alternatives in most scenarios.
