Even though they are one of the most fundamental, easy to come by resources in RAID Shadow Legends, Mystery Shards can actually be a very useful resource to stockpile even in the end-game. It is very common for end-game accounts to make sure they mass up 5,000 or even 10,000+ Mystery Shards on their account and try to keep a good stock of them at all times.

Why They're Important:

- Help acquire Rare champions for early game players

- Keeps a consistent stock of food champions for account developement

- Used to help get points for Champion Chase or Summon Rush events without spending the more valuable Shards

&nbsp;

How to Stockpile Them

- Check the Market as often as possible and buy them for 5,000 Silver

- Farm Brutal campaign instead of Nightmare

&nbsp;

Breaking down why Mystery Shards can be such a powerful resource even though they are the basic Shard in the game.

Secret Power of Mystery Shards

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

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

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

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

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

Master the Arena with Cardinal: The Reviver You Need!

When it comes to&nbsp;<a href="https://www.raidshadowlegends.com" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">RAID: Shadow Legends</a>, many champions often slip under the radar. Today, we’re shining a spotlight on&nbsp;<a href="https://raidhq.gg/raid/champions/umbral-enchantress" target="_blank">Umbral Enchantress</a>, a defense-based void epic champion who, despite being an old-school champion, still holds immense potential in various content. Whether you’re exploring wave-clearing strategies, tackling PvE bosses like Magma Dragon, or holding your ground in the Arena, Umbral’s unique kit has something for everyone. <a href="https://youtu.be/MFWTjxRV8Yk" target="_blank"><img src="https://api.flotiq.com/image/0x0/_media-b63291cb-1d19-4aa7-92ee-a37ace7d0f23.PNG" title="Umbral Enchantress" alt="Umbral Enchantress" style="width: 800px; height: 468px; display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"></a> Umbral Enchantress Skills Breakdown Understanding Umbral’s kit is essential to utilizing her effectively. Here’s why she stands out: A3 – Undying Evil Two-turn Provoke: Rare among epics, this skill is a game-changer for Arena battles and wave control. It locks enemies into place for two turns, disrupting cleansers and other crucial abilities. Drawback: Places a&nbsp;Block Active Skills debuff on herself for five turns, but this can be mitigated with specific builds. A2 – Imolate AoE Attack: Deals decent damage and applies&nbsp;Block Buffs for three turns. Cooldown: With a three-turn cooldown (when booked), it provides a near-permanent uptime on Block Buffs. Void Affinity Advantage:&nbsp;As a void champion, Umbral avoids weak hits, ensuring consistent debuff placement and damage output. Mastery Setup We’ve explored several mastery setups for&nbsp;Umbral Enchantress, emphasizing versatility based on the content you’re focusing on. PvE Masteries For PvE content like Magma Dragon, the goal is to maximize damage while maintaining consistent crowd control. Offense Tree Highlights War Master (Tier 6): The go-to mastery for PvE, dealing extra damage based on enemy max HP. Heart of Glory: Boosts damage when Umbral is at full HP. Single Out: Increases damage against enemies with low HP. Kill Streak: Improves damage output during wave battles. Methodical: Amplifies damage for frequently used skills like Provoke. Support Tree Highlights Pinpoint Accuracy: Increases accuracy early on. Charge Focus: Adds accuracy when Umbral has no active debuffs. Evil Eye: Reduces enemy turn meter with her A1. Sniper: Increases the chances of applying debuffs that don’t have a guaranteed activation rate. PvP Masteries For Arena, we suggest a build that enhances both control and burst damage. Offense Tree Adjustments Replace&nbsp;War Master with&nbsp;Helmsmasher (Tier 6): Adds a chance to ignore a portion of the target’s defense, boosting damage against tanky opponents. Support Tree Highlights Retain accuracy-focused masteries but also prioritize&nbsp;Lore of Steel for added stats from artifact sets like Stone Skin. Gear Recommendations We’ve identified an ideal gear setup for Umbral Enchantress to complement her masteries and playstyle. Gear Focus The recommended build revolves around a&nbsp;Stone Skin set&nbsp;to protect Umbral while she executes her Provoke. Set Recommendation 4-Piece Stone Skin Set: Grants immunity and high survivability, ideal for Arena battles and PvE wave content. Optionally, equip&nbsp;6 pieces of Stone Skin, though 4 pieces are sufficient for her role. Primary Stats Gauntlets: Crit Rate Chest Piece: Defense Percentage Boots: Speed Substats to Prioritize Accuracy: Essential for landing Provoke and Block Buffs. Speed: Ensures she takes turns quickly to maintain control. Defense: Boosts survivability during prolonged battles. Crit Rate: Enhances damage output. Crit Damage: Adds offensive capability for Arena and PvE. Why Stone Skin The&nbsp;Stone Skin set synergizes perfectly with Umbral’s&nbsp;two-turn Provoke, offering immunity to keep her debuffs active while mitigating incoming damage. This makes her exceptionally reliable in challenging fights. Blessings for Umbral Enchantress We also emphasize the importance of selecting the right blessing for Umbral Enchantress to enhance her performance in both PvE and PvP. Recommended Blessing: Crushing Rend Effect: Attacks ignore a percentage of the enemy’s defense based on their level. Reason for Choice: This blessing complements Umbral's fully empowered state, especially in wave content and PvE battles. Ignoring defense significantly boosts her damage output, particularly against tanky enemies. When to Use Crushing Rend PvE: Ideal for boss battles like Magma Dragon or Doom Tower waves, where defense-ignoring damage can be impactful. PvP: Helps Umbral break through high-defense Arena teams. Other Blessing Options Polymorph: Adds crowd control by turning attackers into sheep when they target Umbral. Intimidating Presence: Enhances aura effects for both Umbral's team and weakens those of enemies. Brimstone: Provides additional damage over time through Smite, great for bosses and PvE. Umbral Enchantress in PvE Magma Dragon (Hard Mode) Umbral is an excellent provoker for this boss, especially when paired with another champion with a Provoke ability on their A1, like Husk. Strategy Tip: Turn off unnecessary skills to ensure Umbral opens with her Provoke at the start of the boss fight. This keeps Magma Dragon under control and reduces incoming damage to your team. Umbral Enchantress in Arena In Arena, Umbral excels in&nbsp;go-second teams&nbsp;designed to absorb the enemy's first wave of attacks and retaliate. Team Composition Example: Umbral Enchantress: Crowd control with two-turn Provoke. Sun Wukong: Buff remover and AoE damage. Ultimate Deathknight (UDK): Tank and provoke backup. Valkyrie: Shield and counterattack support. The two-turn Provoke often decides matches by shutting down enemy cleansers or nukers, leaving them vulnerable. Conclusion Umbral Enchantress may not be the flashiest epic, but her unique abilities make her invaluable in PvE and PvP alike. With the right masteries, gear, and blessings, such as a Stone Skin build and Crushing Rend, we can unlock her full potential in both control and damage roles. Whether you’re farming Magma Dragon or climbing the Arena ranks, her crowd control and defensive capabilities can turn the tide in your favor.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

Umbral Enchantress: The Underrated Void Epic You Should Be U...

Umbral Enchantress: The Underrated Void Epic You Should Be Using in RAID: Shadow Legends

He-Man, the iconic Master of the Universe, has arrived in <a href="https://www.raidshadowlegends.com" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">RAID: Shadow Legends</a>! While his availability through the Champion Pass is controversial, there's no denying the allure of wielding his power. In this guide, we’ll cover his skills, build, gear, masteries, and blessings to maximize his potential. <a href="https://youtu.be/EhPZGKVNb78" target="_blank"><img src="https://api.flotiq.com/image/0x0/_media-1884c81b-7677-4ca6-a301-a1974ab79130.PNG" title="He-man" alt="He-man" style="width: 800px; height: 469px; display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"></a> Skills Overview A1: Blessed Bash Attacks one enemy twice if they belong to the Corrupted faction. Increases his turn meter by 10% and an additional 2% for every buff on He-Man. Damage Type: Attack and HP. A2: Luminous Cleave A single-target nuke that grants He-Man an&nbsp;Increase Attack&nbsp;buff before ignoring Stoneskin. If the attack kills, all allies' turn meters fill by 30%. Cooldown: 4 turns (3 when booked). A3: I Have the Power An AoE attack with damage amplified by 10% for each buff on He-Man (up to 50%). Buff counters reset after use. Cooldown: 3 turns. Passive: Master of the Universe Boosts He-Man’s attack and HP by 5% per buff (up to 50%). Grants a&nbsp;Strengthen&nbsp;buff at the start of each turn and whenever an enemy’s HP falls below 50%. Immunity to Petrification. Aura Increases ally speed in arena battles by 28%. Gear Recommendations Savage + Stoneskin Savage gear allows He-Man to ignore a significant portion of enemy defense, amplifying his damage output.&nbsp;Stoneskin adds survivability, making him durable in both PvP and PvE. Savage + Cruel When Stoneskin isn’t necessary, Cruel gear adds bonus attack and defense penetration, complementing Savage's power. Merciless Set Perfect for PvE content or situations requiring extra defense ignore. A full six-piece Merciless set can further enhance damage potential. Stat Priorities Attack: Amplifies He-Man’s damage output as his abilities scale heavily with attack. Crit Rate: Aim for 100% Crit Rate to ensure consistent high damage. Crit Damage: After reaching 100% Crit Rate, prioritize Crit Damage for harder hits. HP: Secondary focus, boosting skill scaling and survivability. Masteries We designed He-Man’s masteries with an&nbsp;arena-focused build, ensuring maximum damage output and buff synergy. Here’s the detailed setup: Offense Tree Deadly Precision: Boosts Crit Rate. Keen Strike: Enhances Crit Damage. Heart of Glory: Increases damage when He-Man is at full HP. Whirlwind of Death: Increases speed after killing an enemy. Ruthless Ambush: Boosts damage against enemies with full HP. Cycle of Violence: Provides a chance to reduce cooldowns after dealing high damage. Bring It Down: Increases damage against targets with higher max HP. Helmsmasher: Adds a chance to ignore enemy defense, making He-Man’s nukes devastating. Support Tree Spirit Haste: Boosts speed when allies are defeated. Charged Focus: Increases accuracy when no skills are on cooldown. Lore of Steel: Enhances artifact set bonuses. Lasting Gifts: Extends the duration of buffs. Cycle of Magic: Provides a chance to reduce skill cooldowns. <a href="https://raidhq.gg/raid/blessing" target="_blank" style="font-size: 24px;">Blessings</a> PvP Blessings Crushing Rend Ideal for high-star awakenings (up to six stars). Increases damage based on the target’s remaining HP, making it effective against tanky arena teams. Cruelty Best for lower-star awakenings (up to four stars). Reduces enemy defense while slightly increasing He-Man's damage. Versatile and effective in both PvP and PvE. PvE Blessings Brimstone Adds an AoE Smite debuff, dealing significant damage over time. Useful in PvE content such as Hydra Clan Boss and dungeons where AoE damage excels. Performance Review He-Man shines brightest in the&nbsp;arena, where his buff-scaling mechanics and Stoneskin ignore make him a reliable nuker. In PvE, he delivers solid AoE damage, though his utility is more limited compared to crowd control or debuff-oriented champions. Arena: 4.5/5 Hydra Clan Boss: 3.5/5 Faction Wars: 3/5 He-Man Lore The mightiest of the mighty; the strongest of the strong; the bravest of the brave; the most powerful man in the universe. This is He-Man, the ultimate paragon of righteousness, a legendary man beloved throughout Teleria. He-Man, as is recounted in countless tales, always answers calls for help, always saves the day, and never seeks personal glory. He cares only for vanquishing evil and the safety of the downtrodden. No one knows his true identity: Prince Adam of Eternia, a young man who presents himself as naive and fearful in day-to-day life in the Palace of Eternos, whose closest friend is a large yet cowardly cat known as Cringer. No one suspects such a boy could be He-Man. How did this prince gain such fabulous secret powers? It is through the magical Power Sword, which can carve through mountains and deflect lightning bolts, granted to him by the sorceress of the fabled Castle Grayskull. By raising this weapon to the sky and roaring ‘by the power of Grayskull!’, Prince Adam is given rippling muscles, flowing hair, and a thunderous voice. Similarly, Cringer becomes Battle Cat, a ferocious tiger. He-Man is so strong he can push the moon itself away from Teleria, crack enormous fissures into the ground with a stomp of his foot or single punch, and join pieces of frayed rope by pushing them together. He is so fast he can generate tornadoes by spinning on the spot, drill to Teleria's core by rapidly rotating stalactites, and reverse the whirlpools' rotation. Over the centuries, stories about He-Man have become increasingly far-fetched, with wars on distant planets where flying ships shoot fire at each other across the skies. The Sacred Order encourages these stories, its leaders having decided that children admiring a defeater of Darkness will ultimately steer them to living dutiful lives dedicated to Lumaya. The Order has developed its own He-Man stories, including child-friendly versions with wholesome morals about obeying parents and praying each day. During events such as Lozrayn and the Festival of Creation, children everywhere love to dress as He-Man, running around with ‘Power Swords’ made of sticks and holding them aloft declaring ‘I have the power!'. So many have wanted cats like Cringer there is now a breed of the same name, with the feline's large size, green-brown fur, and orange stripes. As a true testament to the character, few mice fear them. He-Man toys are in enormous demand everywhere, something exploited by Diamant Coppercoin of Velyzar, who has produced thousands made from wool, straw, or wood, including sets with weapon options and poseable limbs. The fact that port authorities have discovered some filled with counterfeit currency, he says, is down to merchant-captains who falsely presented themselves as honest. He claims to be absolutely horrified. The fascination with He-Man's legend has encouraged many a scholar-adventurer and deluded power-seeker to find out if it is in some way true. No fewer than seven sites have been identified for Castle Grayskull, each with set of ruins matching elements of modern descriptions. More than one ‘Conference of Persons Interested in the Fabled History of Eternia’ has descended into brawls as academics, treasure hunters, and He-Man history enthusiasts have argued not only over the Castle's location, but its very existence, with some claiming it is merely metaphorical. He-Man would, of course, frown on such brawls – and would no doubt extol a moral about the values of co-operation to calm tensions. Conclusion He-Man is a powerhouse in the right hands, capable of delivering crushing blows in the arena. While his paywall acquisition is frustrating, his iconic presence makes him a worthwhile addition for fans of the IP. If you decide to add him to your collection, this guide will help you wield his power to its fullest.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Best Blessings for Skraank We recommend blessings that amplify Skraank’s damage or provide team-wide benefits, depending on content: Crushing Rend Effect: Ignores a portion of the target's defense based on their MAX HP. Why It’s Recommended: Ideal for PvE and PvP, especially in longer battles against high-defense enemies, such as Hydra Clan Boss.

Cruelty Effect: Reduces enemy defense for all allies, stacking with each hit. Why It’s Recommended: Beneficial in team setups, particularly in Hydra or Doom Tower, boosting overall team damage. Where to Use Skraank Skraank excels in multiple game modes where HP Burn is key: Spider Stages (21-25) Skraank’s AoE burns and Turn Meter fill make him a cornerstone for efficient farming. Pair him with activators like Tyrant Ixlimor for optimal results. Ice Golem (Hard Stages) His AoE burns and Turn Meter fills ensure smooth runs. Supports like Scyl of the Drakes provide revives. Hydra Clan Boss His stacking damage and AoE burns make him an MVP. Build a synergistic team with debuffers and healers for maximum impact. Arena (Mid-Tier) Skraank can serve as a surprise AoE nuker, especially in mid-tier PvP. His scaling passive adds significant damage potential. Skraank Lore Ogryn tend to be viewed as brutal and unsubtle beings, but few of those appellations apply to Skraank’s people. His tribe is one of many that lurks in the caverns beneath the Dawnmounts, their number wiry, lean, hunched, and more at home in dark, dank tunnels and deep crevasses than on the rugged plains or steep slopes that many other Ogryn call home. Skraank was born with even more heightened abilities than those common to his kind, his long, bat-like ears allowing him to detect the presence of individuals from the vibrations they cause in the air. Conversely, while his large eyes allow him to see perfectly in the dark, even mild sunlight leaves Skraank blinded. When traveling above ground, he therefore adopts metal disks with slender slits that keep out the worst of the glare. From a young age, Skraank realized how different he and his people were from many other Ogryn tribes. He found he was quicker, more cunning, and could achieve far more by planning and stealth than others could with brute force. He delighted in pulling practical jokes, stealing, and generally sowing chaos. As he grew, the roles of thief, spy, and assassin came naturally to him and, not content with remaining forever beneath the Dawnmounts like so many of his tribe, he chose to walk abroad in the world and hire out his skills to those in need of subtle and deadly solutions to their problems. Skraank has mastered the art of death in numerous ways, and his weaponry reflects his versatility. He wields two short swords, Gizzard-Gouger and Gut-Gorer, with a speed and skill few other Ogryn – even those from Skraank’s own tribe — are able to match. Should these not be enough, he carries two long knives, former swords belonging to a knight of Kaerok that Skraank slew by driving Gut-Gorer’s slender blade through his helmet’s eye-slit. He also possesses a heavy crossbow, once a defensive fixture onboard a Dwarf treasure ship that Skraank ‘liberated’. An array of short throwing daggers completes his armament, meaning that whether his targets are lightly or heavily armored, or engaging at close or long range, he always has the right tools for the job. While Skraank is a killer in no uncertain terms, solo assassinations are not where his true talents lie, and nor do they bring him true joy. His greatest love remains sowing havoc through disruption and sabotage. Such are his skills he can trick enemies into believing they are being attacked by far more than just one creature. One Banner Lord named Sir Delane, jealous of the extent of the neighboring noble’s holdings, secretly hired Skraank to raid his rival’s territory. The man was convinced by the destruction Skraank wreaked that a powerful Orc raiding party were striking the area. Delane’s rival surrendered part of his land in exchange for Delane’s military assistance — the ‘Orc raids’ ended soon after. On another occasion, the Ogryn Gutbrawlers tribe hired Skraank to help defeat a force of Aravian colonizers seeking to expand their holdings in western Peltas. During the night, Skraank mounted repeated, sudden, and violent assaults on the Aravian sentries. This, coupled with one of his favorite disruptive techniques — setting fires amid tents and supply wagons – caused the whole camp to degenerate into chaos, leaving them unprepared when the main Ogryn attack came in the morning. Skraank keeps a tally of successful assignments scraped into the scraps of armor he wears. The notches are starting to take up all available space, but Skraank has no intention of stopping – not while his fiendish addiction to creating havoc and destruction remains unsatiated. Conclusion Skraank isn’t just another epic champion; he’s a versatile powerhouse who thrives in both wave-clearing and boss-killing scenarios. With his reliable AoE HP Burn, self-sustain, stacking damage, and well-chosen blessings, he’s invaluable for RAID players tackling challenging content. Build him right, master his abilities, and watch him burn his way to victory! &nbsp;

Skraank: RAID’s Best Epic AoE Burner – Build & Guide

Savage + Cruel Provides a strong combination of defense ignore and increased Attack %, enhancing Toshiro's nuking potential. Lethal + Immortal Adds Crit Rate for consistent damage while improving survivability through HP regeneration, making Toshiro tankier. Immortal + Perception Focuses on improving survivability and accuracy to ensure Toshiro can consistently land his [Decrease DEF] and [Leech] debuffs. Masteries for Toshiro the Bloody We prefer to maximize Toshiro’s offensive and debuffing potential, particularly in Hydra and Clan Boss battles. Here’s the full setup: Offense Tree Deadly Precision: Increases Crit Rate by 5%. Keen Strike: Increases Crit Damage by 10%. Heart of Glory: Increases damage by 5% when attacking with full HP.

Master Hexer: Extends the duration of debuffs by 1 turn. <a href="https://raidhq.gg/raid/blessing" target="_blank">Blessings</a>: Enhancing Toshiro’s Power Crushing Rend (6-Star) The best choice for maximizing Toshiro's damage in PvE. Crushing Rend allows him to ignore a percentage of enemy defense, amplifying his already incredible damage output. It’s especially effective in Hydra and Clan Boss battles where high-defense enemies are present. Cruelty (1–5-Star) A great alternative for players focusing on team synergy. Cruelty reduces enemy defense, which benefits the entire team. Toshiro's Lore To many, Toshiro the Bloody was once one of the Shadowkin rebellion’s finest warriors. A master of guerrilla warfare, he was zealous in his hatred of the Autocracy and the merciless slaughters he inflicted on the Mikage earned him his moniker. He had a potent detestation of Demonspawn in particular, how they twisted and corrupted what he saw as good and natural. He was also deeply frustrated that the Demonspawn could not truly be killed. At best, they could be banished, often in clashes that claimed the lives of many of his irreplaceable warriors, and then return. In this way, they rendered so many sacrifices made in fighting them futile. Toshiro swore to change this, but found no way of dealing a true blow to the Demonspawn infesting Yakai until he encountered Zezo, a dark sorceress in league with the Autocracy. When a force of Toshiro’s warriors captured her, she pleaded for her life, claiming that she had been possessed by a Demon that had fled her body when it realized she was going to be taken. Toshiro had heard traitors lie many times and raised his great, two-handed sword to strike off Zezo’s head, but her next words gave him pause. She said that she had heard of his quest to permanently end the Demonspawn threat, and that during the years of her supposed possession, she had learned of ways of shriving a Demon from its mortal host. Provided such an act of powerful magic was performed with enough skill, the Demon could be bound to something — rather than someone — else, before it was banished to Anathraad. In this way they might be trapped for eternity, without the need for them to be continually monitored if they were taken prisoner. Such a claim was too good for Toshiro to ignore. While he threatened Zezo a painful death if she deceived him, he spared her life, and employed her arcane abilities against her former masters. Their first attempt yielded hopeful results — the sorceress successfully rent a Demon’s essence from the body of the mortal it had claimed, but it was banished to Anathraad. Toshiro ordered the experiments to continue. Even as the rebellion neared its final victory, he pursued his increasingly single-minded quest for a lasting triumph over the Demonspawn. The rebellion’s leaders were disturbed by his cooperation with Zezo, yet Toshiro ignored all their pleas he desist. He slipped into obsession, recusing himself from strategic meetings in favor of capturing more Demonspawn. Even his veteran warriors were disturbed, coming to only follow him out of fear that the slightest misstep would see Toshiro kill them. Not long after the rebellion’s victory, Toshiro captured a powerful Demonspawn named Vornspore and subjected him to Zezo’s magics. The creature roared as the sorceress mumbled her incantations, the combined sound making Toshiro’s teeth itch and nose bleed. She wove her arms in ways that seemed beyond the capabilities of Human physiology, yet gave her no visible discomfort. After two hours of ceaseless struggle, Zezo bound the Demon to Toshiro’s sword. He took the weapon, and was awed by the power within. It — Vornspore — whispered to him, saying that the might was his to wield. Something in the voice told Toshiro not to trust it but, elated and overconfident, he embraced it nonetheless. The mortal host Vornspore had possessed lay on the ground, catatonic, nothing remaining of his own self. Toshiro raised his sword and brought it down upon the man. He felt strong, agile, fast, more alive than ever before. Cuts from the possessed steel never healed and the blade absorbed the enemy’s blood, draining their very life-force, which empowered Toshiro’s muscular vigor. The more he killed, the more he wanted to kill. He told no one of the whispers. When rebel leaders heard what Toshiro had done, they decided he had gone too far. Meddling in dark magics and enlisting the aid of a Demon, even if it was seemingly unwilling — it all pointed toward his corruption. The rebels sent warriors who demanded Toshiro surrender his sword and leave Yakai for good. Had he not been such a hero to the cause, he would have been executed. Furious, Toshiro refused to submit. When those sent to punish him drew their blades, he drew upon all of Vornspore’s power and cut them down. He saw reflected in the flat of his blade, the transformation he went through, to some dark form of himself, and was horrified. Had he made a mistake all along? He shook it off. He had found a way to thwart the Demonspawn, yet his once-allies had made him the enemy. Clearly, only he was willing to take the action necessary for complete victory. He fled Yakai, accompanied only by Zezo. Toshiro stalked the Cloudspire Mountains, brooding over his fate. As years passed, Zezo died, but Toshiro lost none of his youth and strength, something Vornspore gladly took credit for. From afar, he watched as Yakai settled into a new era of relative peace and prosperity. Vornspore taunted him with claims that Demons yet ruled Yakai in secret, and Toshiro’s bitterness over his mistreatment gnawed at him. He became convinced that there were dark forces still at play within the kingdom, which he had to expunge. Toshiro soon returned to Yakai, with the goal of ending the Demonic conspiracy he is sure lies at the heart of the realm. Yet this noble goal stands in contrast to a figure who now seems steeped in dark magic and hears the whispers of a Demon wherever he goes. Perhaps Vornspore had intended to be captured all along — certainly, Toshiro’s belief that he is the Demon’s master is looking more misguided with every passing moment, and each time he summons its power to aid him, its hold over him grows. For Vornspore’s part, once he has fully claimed Toshiro, he will have no need for a new host body, and will be able to claim Yakai for himself in the chaos of the once-rebel’s ‘reckoning’. Conclusion: The Bloody Beast of Hydra Toshiro the Bloody is a game-changing addition to any PvE-focused team. His ability to scale Attack and HP, combined with high-damage multipliers, makes him an MVP for Hydra and Clan Boss battles. Whether in his devastating first form or his tactical second form, Toshiro brings unmatched versatility to your team.

Toshiro the Bloody: A Comprehensive Champion Guide for RAID: Shadow Legends

<a href="https://raidhq.gg/raid/champions/lady-of-ireth" target="_blank">Lady of Ireth</a>, a Legendary Support Champion from the Sylvan Watchers faction, has skyrocketed to relevance after her recent buffs. Her kit makes her an incredible healer and utility specialist, fitting into almost any progression or endgame team. In this guide, we’ll explore her skills, stats, gear recommendations, masteries, blessings, and the best ways to utilize her. <a href="https://youtu.be/MwExrbaZ23I" target="_blank"><img src="https://api.flotiq.com/image/0x0/_media-22941aa2-4455-43d1-954a-c30a49da0cf7.PNG" title="Lady of Ireth" alt="Lady of Ireth" style="width: 800px; height: 469px; display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"></a> Lady of Ireth’s Skills Overview A1: Fae Bolt Effect: Attacks one enemy and instantly activates a random [Continuous Heal] buff on all allies with less than 85% HP. Why It’s Great: This ability ensures frequent healing activations, improving your team’s survivability significantly, especially in extended battles. A2: Mistwood Healing Effect: - Removes all debuffs from a target ally. - Heals that ally by 50% of Lady of Ireth’s MAX HP (heal can crit). - If the ally is fully healed: - Fills their Turn Meter by 50%. - Heals all allies for 50% of the surplus heal. - If not fully healed, places a [Block Damage] buff for 2 turns. Cooldown: 4 turns (can be reduced to 3 when booked). Highlight: - Massive single-target healing ensures most allies are fully restored. - The cleanse adds immense value in high-debuff environments like&nbsp;Ice Golem or&nbsp;Hydra Clan Boss. - AOE healing from surplus makes this skill versatile for team-wide support. A3: Rhythmic Strength Effect: - Places a 25% [Strengthen] and a 15% [Continuous Heal] buff on all allies for 2 turns. - Reduces the cooldown of all ally skills (except Lady of Ireth’s) by 1 turn. Cooldown: 5 turns (can be reduced to 3 when booked). Key Highlight: - Acts as a mini-reset for your entire team, enhancing buff/debuff uptime and allowing nukers and support champions to use their abilities more frequently. - Perfect for progression teams needing constant skill rotation. Passive: Aegis of the Forest Effect: Places a Shield equal to 15% of Lady of Ireth’s MAX HP on the ally with the lowest HP for 2 turns at the start of her turn. Why It’s Important: - Provides extra protection for squishy allies, pairing beautifully with her healing-focused kit. - Scales with her MAX HP, making gear optimization critical. Aura Effect: Increases Ally HP in all battles by 30%. Versatility: A universal Aura that boosts survivability in any game mode. Gear Recommendations for Lady of Ireth Relentless Set Why? Extra turns from the Relentless set help Lady of Ireth cycle through her abilities faster, particularly her A3: Rhythmic Strength, which reduces the cooldown of all ally skills. More turns mean more healing, buff uptime, and cooldown reduction for the entire team. Impulse Set (if available) Why?&nbsp;Impulse reduces the cooldown of random skills by one turn. Paired with the Relentless set, this allows Lady of Ireth to reach her critical skills like the A3 even faster. However, Impulse gear is hard to obtain and not mandatory for her success. Immortal Set Why? Boosts her HP while providing passive healing. Immortal is a great alternative if Relentless or Impulse gear is unavailable. Curing Set (Optional) Why? Enhances her healing abilities, making her already-potent heals even stronger. Ash pointed out this set works well for maximizing her team-wide support in prolonged battles. Stat Priorities HP% HP is her most important stat because: - Her healing scales off her MAX HP. - Her passive shield (Aegis of the Forest) is also based on her MAX HP. Speed Higher speed ensures she can take more turns, allowing her to cycle through her abilities and provide consistent healing and cooldown reduction. Defense Improves her survivability, especially in tougher content like Hydra Clan Boss or high-level dungeons. Resistance (Optional) Resistance can be helpful in specific battles where debuffs are a threat. However, this is not a top priority unless you're building her for specific debuff-heavy areas like Hydra or Doom Tower. Masteries for Lady of Ireth Support Tree Steadfast – Bonus HP for better survivability. Healing Savior – Increases healing and shield value when allies have low HP. Merciful Aid – Boosts healing effectiveness when allies are under debuffs. Cycle of Magic – Provides a chance to reduce cooldowns. Lasting Gifts – Extends the duration of buffs like [Strengthen] and [Continuous Heal]. Timely Intervention – Increases turn meter when an ally’s HP drops below 25%. Defense Tree Tough Skin – Adds flat defense for durability. Blastproof – Reduces AoE damage taken. Rejuvenation – Increases healing received and shield strength. Cycle of Revenge – Boosts turn meter when allies are hit with critical hits. <a href="https://raidhq.gg/raid/blessing" target="_blank">Blessings</a> for Lady of Ireth Intimidating Presence Boosts your team’s Aura and weakens enemy Auras, perfect for content like Hydra and Doom Tower. Miracle Heal Restores destroyed MAX HP, ideal for Hydra Clan Boss and Ice Golem where MAX HP reduction is common. Indomitable Spirit Grants a chance to block debuffs, ensuring Lady of Ireth can keep healing and supporting the team. Lore: Lady of Ireth Little is known of the Sylvan of the Mistwood, for they rarely leave their highland jungles to consort with the rest of Teleria. Most assume the worst of them for it – that the Sylvan Elves are cruel, haughty, or arrogant, and that they have no interest in the lesser peoples of the world. The truth, however, is different. For them, to be separated from their homeland is to suffer a feeling of isolation that outsiders can scarcely understand. For when they are among their own kind, the Sylvan are in touch with a magic that binds them together, cascading their emotions and sensations to any other Sylvan in reach who cares to listen. They call this magic the Rhythm, and if they leave their home, the lack of it is a deafening silence. And so they rarely leave. Without the Rhythm, most Sylvan have great difficulty communicating with those around them, as they are accustomed to reading the emotions of their interlocutors directly. Which is why, especially in the days before the creation of the Nyresan Union, the Sylvan Elves relied upon specially-trained ambassadors to speak with outsiders. These ambassadors were educated in the ways of facial expressions, inference, deception, and empathy – methods of communication that other Telerians find normal. Such training was difficult to master, however, and it did little to replace the Rhythm for most of the ambassadors who would be leaving their homeland. One of their number, however, proved exceptionally talented… but she would also prove the dangers of consorting with outsiders. Saerlaith departed for the great mage-city of Ireth, hoping to attend its legendary Academy. Most Sylvan ambassadors were sent to establish ties of trade or alliances, but Saerlaith had an altogether more important – and more dangerous – mission: she was to use the resources of Ireth to study the nature of the Rhythm itself, hoping that she could find a way to replicate its magic beyond the confines of the Mistwood. But the Sylvan feared that unscrupulous mages could use whatever was discovered against them – the Rhythm had already been turned against the Sylvan Elves and Fae in ages past, when Siroth had corrupted the Heart Tree that produced the magic and used it to control large swathes of the population. If the Sylvan were to investigate this most holy of magics with the aid of Irethi mages, they would have to do so discreetly. In trying to determine who among the Sylvan would be most suitable for this mission, Saerlaith was the first choice. She was coy, adept at magic, and had a narcissistic streak that left her resilient to the crushing depression of living without the Rhythm. She was eager to begin. Saerlaith hid her true goals from the powers of Ireth, but the limitation proved more calamitous than expected. Acting with discretion prevented her from piquing the interest of the more academic mages of the academy, who might have been interested in her mission for its own sake. With only her mystique and her origins to inspire others to help her, she was left with only those looking for the prestige of winning the beautiful Sylvan ambassador’s attention – it was not long before she found herself in the path of Arion and Valkanen. Arion and Valkanen were the most brilliant and promising young mages in all of Ireth, and they hated each other. Exceedingly arrogant, the posturing in their competition to be greatest mage in the academy bordered on unbearable to anyone close to them. When the two men discovered Saerlaith – her talent, her beauty, her influence in the Mistwood – she became the latest and most important object of their contest. This, unfortunately for Saerlaith, also played upon her own vanity. She could not bring herself to discourage either party. She told herself that she was encouraging them in order to further her plans, for they were so powerful. In a way, she told herself, she was still fulfilling her duties to her people – even if she might have enjoyed it more than was proper. But the escalating tension between the three of them refused to plateau. Saerlaith, for all her empathy, misjudged her suitors. She believed they were honorable enough to limit their ambitions. She believed they saw themselves as bound by laws and reason. She believed they would not exchange their humanity for more power. She believed that she was safe. She was wrong. Final Thoughts Lady of Ireth has gone from a niche champion to one of the best healers in <a href="https://www.raidshadowlegends.com" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">RAID: Shadow Legends</a>. Her kit provides unparalleled healing, strong buffs, and a unique cooldown reduction mechanic. She shines in Hydra, Ice Golem, Doom Tower, and other challenging PvE content. Whether you’re a new player looking to progress or an endgame player tackling difficult encounters, Lady of Ireth is a champion worth building and booking.

Lady of Ireth RAID: Shadow Legends Guide – A Game-Changing Healer!

Welcome to our in-depth champion guide on <a href="https://raidhq.gg/raid/champions/zavia" target="_blank">Zavia</a>, one of the most iconic poison activation champions in <a href="https://www.raidshadowlegends.com" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">RAID: Shadow Legends</a>. A Dark Elf legendary, Zavia has been around for a while but remains a powerhouse, especially for poison-based teams. In this guide, we'll cover everything you need to know about using Zavia effectively - from her skills, gear setups, and masteries to blessings, lore, team compositions, and optimal strategies. <a href="https://youtu.be/4I5e7OUjqv4" target="_blank"><img src="https://api.flotiq.com/image/0x0/_media-22a40e28-1232-45f2-96ea-c7f74f854838.PNG" title="Zavia" alt="Zavia" style="width: 800px; height: 469px; display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"></a> Champion Overview Affinity: Force Role: Attack Faction: Dark Elves Aura: Increases Ally ATK in all Battles by 33% Base Stats (at Level 60) HP: 18,660 ATK: 1,586 DEF: 749 SPD: 105 C. RATE: 15% C. DMG: 63% RES: 30 ACC: 10 Zavia's stats make her a strong damage dealer, though her lower defense and reliance on high accuracy mean she needs to be geared thoughtfully to survive and maximize her poison debuff utility. Zavia Skills Overview Transfix (A1) Attacks one enemy three times. Each hit has a 40% chance of placing a 5% [Poison] debuff for two turns. Damage based on:** ATK This triple-hitter is effective in Fire Knight runs and synergizes well with poison activation strategies. Poison Rain (A2) Attacks all enemies twice. Each hit has a 50% chance (unbooked) or a 75% chance (when fully booked) to place a 5% [Poison] debuff for two turns. Damage based on: ATK This AOE ability allows Zavia to stack poisons on multiple enemies, setting up high damage potential with her A3 ability. Deadly Catalyst (A3) Attacks all enemies. Enemies killed by this skill cannot be revived, and it deals instant damage from all [Poison] debuffs on the target (reduced to 50% damage against bosses). Damage based on: ATK Zavia's A3 makes her invaluable for wave-clearing content, especially when paired with multiple poisoners. Calamitous Partner (Passive) Attacks 1 enemy. Applies a [Debuff Spread] effect, taking four random debuffs from the target and placing them on all enemies. Note: Only available when Belanor is on the same team. While niche, this ability can be devastating when paired with Belanor, adding unique strategic value in specific scenarios. Detailed Gear Setup for Zavia Zavia's gear setup is crucial for maximizing her effectiveness. Here’s how we recommend gearing her: Perception Set This set offers Accuracy and Speed, which are essential for Zavia to reliably land her poisons and have the speed to activate them. We emphasize using triple Perception on Zavia to ensure she has high Accuracy. Alternative Sets Players seeking to maximize damage can opt for sets like&nbsp;Savage or&nbsp;Lethal to bypass enemy defenses and boost her damage output further. Stat Priorities Primary Focus: Accuracy: Essential for landing her poisons consistently. Crit Rate and Crit Damage: Critical for maximizing her damage output, with a 100% Crit Rate target. Secondary Focus: Attack: Boosts overall damage. Speed: Ensures Zavia takes turns efficiently within team rotations. Survivability (HP and Defense): Mitigates her naturally low defense, enhancing her staying power in battles. Our Gear Strategy Balanced Approach: We prefer not to use top-tier nuking gear on Zavia, opting instead for gear that balances Accuracy, Crit Rate, and Crit Damage while also considering survivability. Survivability Adjustments: Given Zavia’s low defense, we recommend flat Defense or HP stats on accessories and substats if she struggles to survive longer fights. Masteries for Zavia Tailor Zavia’s masteries to match her role within your team. Here are the mastery paths we recommend: Offense Tree Deadly Precision (Crit Rate) Heart of Glory (Increases damage while Zavia is at full HP) Shield Breaker (Increases damage to shielded enemies) Single Out (Increases damage to targets with less than 40% HP) Bring It Down (Increases damage to targets with higher max HP) Life Drinker (Heals Zavia when below 50% HP) Cycle of Violence (Chance to reduce skill cooldown on critical hits) Kill Streak (Increases damage after killing an enemy) Methodical (Increases damage with each hit in a round) Helm Smasher or Giant Slayer based on content. Support Tree Pinpoint Accuracy (Increases Accuracy) Exalt in Death (Heals after killing an enemy) Lore of Steel (Increases Basic Artifact Set bonuses) Evil Eye (Decreases enemy Turn Meter with the first hit of a skill) Sniper (Increases chance of placing debuffs) Master Hexer (Extends the duration of debuffs) Best Blessings for Zavia We have several recommendations for blessings that enhance Zavia’s capabilities: Heaven Cast Effect: Increases Zavia’s damage based on the number of buffs on her. Use Case: While it doesn’t boost poison damage directly, it increases her raw attack power, making her hits stronger when paired with buff-heavy allies. Cruelty Effect: Reduces enemy defense and boosts overall team damage when Zavia is highly awakened (5 or 6 stars). Use Case: Great for synergizing with poison teams or debuff-heavy setups. Crushing Rend Effect: Allows Zavia to ignore a portion of the enemy's defense, boosting her burst damage. Use Case: More situational but useful for high-damage, defense-ignoring scenarios. Blessing Priority: We emphasize focusing on&nbsp;Heaven Cast and&nbsp;Cruelty for consistent performance, while&nbsp;Crushing Rend can be leveraged in specific setups. Zavia Lore Insouciant, fearless, and wickedly sharp-tongued, Zavia, known as the Winged Elf of Felwin, is a great enigma to the spies and statesmen of the High Elf nation of Aravia. No one knows how she acquired her famous wings, though many speculate that they are a work of magic, a clever mechanical device, or even a partial Skinwalker transformation. Her base of operations is unknown, her motives alien to the Aravian ethos. What the Aravians hold as ironclad, however, is that she is a threat to the crown and a subversive element. Zavia’s crimes are repeated, unauthorized crossings of Felwin’s Wall, the dividing line between Aravia and the bulk of Anhelt, including the Dark Elf territory of Durham Forest. Her most infamous feat was to seduce Belanor, a respected High Elf administrator who had been serving on the Wall. The Aravians claim that she used supernatural means to steal his heart, or else she holds blackmail material as leverage over him. They hesitate to countenance the possibility that Belanor simply fell in love with her and joined her of his own will, even though they know in their hearts that it is a likely possibility. Admitting that an Elf can be ruled by their feelings would tarnish their international reputation. Just as dangerous, if not more so, is Zavia’s message. In statements made during encounters with Aravian authorities, she has decried the existence of Felwin's Wall, called for an end to the schism between High Elves and Dark Elves, and championed universal freedom. While she cannot tear down the Wall with her bare hands, by trespassing across it, she aims to humiliate its keepers and prove to the world that even the mightiest of barriers cannot stop a determined migrant. She demanded freedom of movement for all living things, and proclaimed all borders and all nations to be an affront to nature and an assault on personal liberty. Such a radical, anarchic ideology was contrary to everything the Aravians stand for. Furthering their frustration is the fact that Zavia has never been spotted with smuggled goods or people, nor shown any motive besides sheer ideology. If she were bringing in rebels, stealing valuables, or committing any other typical crime, the Aravians could respond with typical means. But her vexatious idealism makes her unpredictable. Her trespasses themselves are her purpose. Eyewitnesses say that Zavia does not truly fly, but uses her wings to assist in making tremendous leaps, and can glide with them to escape high places and survive a fall of any distance. With these capabilities she is easily able to loft herself over the towering Wall and then disappear over the other side, and twice as she did so she encountered Belanor. After reporting his sightings, Belanor was noted to grow distant and distracted in his work. When Zavia came to him for the third time, he disappeared along with her. Both Belanor and Zavia became outlaws and bounty hunters were dispatched to track them down. For many months, Aravian trackers searched for the couple in vain, patrolling the Wall on both sides and investigating possible hideouts in Aravia and Durham Forest, to no avail. Despite the increased surveillance and security, Zavia has still made regular crossings of the Wall and, to the chagrin of the Aravians, Belanor has been spotted by her side. Somehow he too has acquired a pair of feathery wings, his snowy-white to Zavia’s gray. The Aravians are baffled and increasingly concerned – if the wings are not unique, but can be bestowed by some unknown process, they could prove the nucleus of a dangerous, body-modifying cult. They imagined a whole gang of winged bandits able to come and go as they pleased. Surely, they assumed, Zavia has been coming and going for some unstated purpose besides merely flaunting her capabilities. Perhaps she is starting just such a cult already, or organizing rebel cells across the border. But the most ruthless investigators of Aravia can find no conspiracies laid down by the Dark Elf intruder. Rumor has it that Zavia and Belanor have been captured by the Aravian authorities, possibly more than once, only to escape later. It is said they were held in chains awaiting their execution, but when their jailors came to escort them to the chopping block, they found the shackles undone and the cell empty, undisturbed by violence, as though the prisoners had simply vanished. All that was left behind was a pair of feathers – one dark and one light, as if to symbolize the schism of the Elves. Yet, as Zavia proclaims, the schism could be mended if only the Elves could see beyond their towering wall. Conclusion Zavia remains one of the best poison activators in RAID: Shadow Legends, offering fast dungeon clears, high poison damage, and invaluable utility with her revive-blocking A3. Whether you’re building speed-farming teams or tackling high-level dungeon content, Zavia is a champion who can bring a lot of value to your roster. Build her well, pair her with strong poisoners, and enjoy devastating your enemies with explosive poison damage!
