Resistance is a stat that is aging very well. It used to not be very sought after, as the vast majority of Raid Shadow Legends revolved around Speed and Accuracy. We have been getting things added to the game that really increase the viability of high resistance champions, like Hydra, more defensive styles in Classic Arena, Tag Team Arena, and now this new dungeon with a new boss where I feel high resistance will be very crucial.

I have laid out a simple chart here that shows the champions in the game who can bring team-wide resistance buffs to the table. These champs may be worth a look to bring a crucial aura or buff when it comes time to build teams for this fight.

Resistance is going to be so crucial because of the Iron Brand debuff that this boss will place on your team. It cannot be blocked, and it cannot be removed once it’s placed, but it CAN be RESISTED. On its own, the Iron Brand debuff doesn’t do anything, but it does pair with another ability that will hit insanely hard if the stack duration number gets too high.

Since we will have to build a few different teams most likely, based on how the affinity system of this dungeon works, make sure you’re ready to have plenty of resistance ready to go and at your disposal when building teams for success in this fight.

Resistance gains value in Raid. Once overshadowed by Speed & Accuracy, new content boosts high-resistance champions' viability in various modes.
