<a href="https://raidhq.gg/raid/champions/dark-elhain" target="_blank">Dark Elhain</a> remains one of the most overlooked epic nukers in <a href="https://www.raidshadowlegends.com" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">RAID: Shadow Legends</a>, yet she’s a free champion available to all players after just four months of daily logins. While she may not top damage charts against other heavy hitters like <a href="https://raidhq.gg/raid/champions/magnarr" target="_blank">Magnarr</a>, her utility, especially in freeze-heavy situations, makes her a must-build for players at any stage of the game. <a href="https://youtu.be/XgdKsU6_u4s" target="_blank"><img src="https://api.flotiq.com/image/0x0/_media-b7cb99b6-75ea-4985-83da-3bfcb19fbd80.PNG" title="Dark Elhain" alt="Dark Elhain" style="width: 801px; height: 468px; display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"></a> Skills Overview A1 – Necrotic Bolt Attacks a single enemy and destroys the target's MAX HP by 30% of the damage inflicted. This ability makes her particularly useful against bosses such as the Scarab King. A2 – Death's Majesty Places a 50% [Increase ATK] buff on herself for 2 turns, then attacks all enemies. This ability has a 50% chance to apply a 30% [Decrease SPD] debuff for 2 turns, making her a solid control option for waves and bosses. Cooldown: 4 turns (reduced with skill upgrades). Passive – Lethal Winter Fills her turn meter by 25% and instantly activates Death’s Majesty whenever she or an ally receives a [Freeze] debuff. This makes her a powerful anti-freeze champion, countering champions like Tormin the Cold. Passive – Veins of Ice Instantly removes any [Freeze] debuffs placed on her and converts them into a 30% [Increase C.RATE], a 30% [Increase C.DMG], and a 15% [Strengthen] buff, greatly enhancing her survivability and offensive capabilities. Gear Recommendations To maximize Dark Elhain’s potential as a damage dealer and anti-freeze specialist, use a gear setup that focuses on maximizing damage output while leveraging her unique ability to ignore enemy defenses. Lethal Set: This set is our preferred option as it provides a 35% ignore enemy defense bonus. It also boosts crit rate, crit damage, attack, and speed, making it ideal for maximizing Dark Elhain’s damage potential. Cruel Set: Provides a 15% attack bonus and a 5% ignore enemy defense. Combining this with Lethal or other offensive sets further enhances her damage and defense penetration capabilities. Main Stat Recommendations Gauntlets: Crit Damage (with high crit rate sub-stats). Chestplate: Attack percentage for maximum damage. Boots: Speed to cycle through turns quickly. Alternatively, attack percentage boots can be used for even higher damage output if speed is less critical in your build. Ring: Attack-focused for increased damage. Amulet: Crit Damage to maximize burst potential. Banner: Accuracy (if needed) or Attack to further optimize damage. Mastery Recommendations Offensive Tree Deadly Precision (increased crit rate) and *Blade Disciple* (increased attack). Heart of Glory (increased damage while at full HP) or *Keen Strike* (increased crit damage). Choose based on your preferred playstyle—consistent full-HP damage or higher crit burst. Life Drinker (heals by a percentage of damage dealt when under 50% HP). This boosts her survivability, particularly useful in prolonged fights. Bring It Down (increased damage to targets with higher max HP). Perfect for maximizing her damage against tankier opponents. Wrath of the Slain (increased damage for each dead ally) or *Cycle of Violence* (chance to reduce cooldowns of her skills when dealing significant damage). Helm Smasher (chance to ignore a percentage of the enemy’s defense). This mastery, combined with gear sets like Lethal and Cruel, maximizes her nuking potential. Support Tree Pinpoint Accuracy (increased accuracy) to ensure her debuffs land consistently. Charged Focus (increased accuracy when no skills are on cooldown). Evil Eye (decreases enemy turn meter on the first hit), adding utility for controlling enemies. Blessing Recommendations Crushing Rend Effect: Provides additional defense ignore capabilities, synergizing well with her Lethal and Cruel gear sets to maximize her damage. Recommended For: Players looking to maximize burst damage and defense penetration, making her an effective nuker in PvP and PvE content. Phantom Touch Effect: Grants bonus damage based on her attack, providing consistent bonus damage throughout battles. Recommended For: Ideal for PvE content and prolonged battles, enhancing her overall damage output. Cruelty Effect: Reduces enemy defense with each hit, stacking over time. Recommended For: Long-term utility in extended fights, benefiting both Dark Elhain and her allies by weakening enemy defenses. Dark Elhain Lore The future is never certain. None can know with certainty what could have been if one path were chosen by an individual over another, but it is possible to imagine an existence where Teleria’s greatest warriors were instead its most terrible despoilers. Elhain is one such hero. An Elven noblewoman of Aravia, she benefited from all the advantages of her station – a complete education in both scholarly and martial arts, and being told in no uncertain terms that she was superior to the many other peoples who inhabited Teleria. Such an attitude is not uncommon among the High Elves, but it is a seed that in some bears dark fruits. While Elhain became a hero of the Light, what would have become of her had she allowed her sense of superiority to lead her down a different path? If she met her match, might it have cut to the very core of her being? It was during the Conclaves of the Elves that Elhain encountered a Dark Elf who seemed every bit as knowledgeable and capable as she was. Named Kael, he matched Elhain during both the negotiations and the competitions that acted as interludes between talks. Elhain became intrigued by Kael, but what would have happened if she had treated her first defeat at the Dark Elf’s hands as a personal affront? Unable to accept that she had come off second-best, Elhain might have convinced herself that her rival had used dark magics to gain an edge. Kael’s supposed evil and duplicity seemed to be confirmed when he was later involved in an attempt to assassinate Queen Eva of Aravia. After he escaped, Elhain seized the opportunity for revenge and swore before her ruler that she would track down and slay the would-be regicide. So began Elhain’s hunt. She sought Kael first in Durham, but after several vicious encounters, was no closer to slaying him. Frustrated beyond reason, Elhain searched for something that would give her the advantage. She dabbled in the same dark magics she believed her rival was using, becoming obsessive. Elhain began to strike dark bargains, communing with Demonspawn and making oaths no true High Elf should ever have countenanced. One particular deal saw her surrender a fragment of her soul in exchange for a rime-coated bow whose arrows could pierce the very spirits of its targets. As her hunt stretched into decades, she finally made the most terrible deal. She realized that she needed power and longevity if she was to finally bring Kael to heel. Seeing little other choice, she embraced Undeath and through it, gave fealty to the Shadow God. In her arrogance, she believed such taint would not corrupt her. It was a tool only. Elhain eventually succeeded in her quest. Without need for sleep or sustenance, she tracked down Kael and ended him with an arrow. Only as he fell did Elhain appreciate the depth of what she had done. Victory had become her sole reason for existence, and now that it had been won, nothing else remained. Filled with dark ennui, Elhain might have ended her own existence over the body of her foe, but her own arrogance stopped her. She had merely done what needed to be done, or so she told herself. Siroth soothed her anguish and fed her convictions. He suggested she show everyone how much she had sacrificed, and the true extent of the superiority she had attained. She turned back for Aravia. It is fortunate indeed for the people of the High Elf nation that these events never occurred. Final Thoughts Dark Elhain’s combination of burst damage, anti-freeze capabilities, and overall utility makes her a valuable addition to any player’s roster. Whether you need a nuker, an anti-freeze counter, or a versatile champion for various game modes, investing in Dark Elhain will prove rewarding for both new and experienced players alike.

Dark Elhain: Still Worth Building? Best Build & Guide for RA...

Dark Elhain: Still Worth Building? Best Build & 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 H...

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!

Lore of Marius the Gallant The legend of Marius the Gallant continues to inspire Skinwalkers and their allies even today, so many years after his apparent death. His story shows both the power and the potential of the Skinwalker transformation, and illustrates how, to some, it may not be a curse, but a blessing. Marius’ story begins during the Red Crusade, when Skinwalkers were hunted across Anhelt by the Sacred Order and their allies. Then a minor knight in service to a Banner Lord of Kaerok, Marius was already exceptional. Many of his fellow knights considered him the epitome of chivalry; a handsome, strong, and brave hero in the making. He had hunted bandits and dangerous beasts in the hills, and even once defeated the rotten Undead monstrosity known as Vogoth the Accursed. But it was his connection to his warhorse, Stormheart, that truly drew the attention of Marius’ peers. The animal was no less exceptional than its master, being of superb stock and glossy of mane. Stormheart could gallop farther and for longer than any other steed, and was as courageous as Marius himself. Indeed, some attested that Stormheart possessed an unusual eagerness for combat. The horse seemed to relish the sound its hooves made as they crushed bone. Moreover, while every knight learns to ride, few did so with the preternatural skill displayed by Marius. A consummate cavalryman, he and Stormheart worked together so seamlessly that onlookers often wondered if there was sorcery at work. The truth was, Marius and Stormheart were simply made for one another; theirs that rare partnership of man and animal that elevates both above their respective limitations. When his lord joined the Crusade, Marius followed as was his duty, but he was not shy about sharing his reservations as to the nature of their enemy. He could not help but see the Skinwalkers as victims rather than monsters. To his mind, they were no different to sufferers of plague or leprosy. Most weren’t even dangerous, save for a brief period after their transformation. But for all his misgivings, Marius was loyal to his lord, though he tried his best to hunt only those Skinwalkers who he believed had fully given in to their bestial selves and become monstrous. It was during one such hunt that Marius and his followers were ambushed by a drove of savage, porcine-featured Skinwalkers. Though Marius killed the leader of the drove, his followers were slain to a man, and Stormheart was fatally wounded. Marius’ mighty steed lay dying. Unable to bear seeing his dear companion in such agony, Marius drew his sword and ended the courageous horse’s life. In that moment, his own life became something much different. In the instant Stormheart died, his powerful spirit thundered into Marius, and his master was transformed into a towering creature, part man, part horse. There was no battle between horse and man's soul as with almost all Skinwalkers, but a conjoining, a homecoming, a bringing together of friends into a most unbreakable bond. Marius had become one of the very creatures he was sworn to destroy. But rather than succumbing to bestial impulse like so many of his fellow Skinwalkers, Marius was saved by the strong bond between himself and his steed. Even as his body twisted into a new form, his mind remained whole and stable, if somewhat confused. In the days that followed, that confusion gave way to a new sense of purpose. Marius believed that his transformation had happened for a reason, that he had been chosen to show his fellow knights the error of their ways. Thus began the legend of Marius the Gallant. Bearing his shield and lance, and his old garb to show to his old comrades he was still, in a sense, one of them, he galloped into battle against both his old allies on behalf of those they unjustly persecuted, as well as those Skinwalkers who threatened innocent lives. He became a hero to those Skinwalkers who wished for peace, and more than once led packs and herds into battle against their oppressors. Marius’ apparent death came in the foothills of Frostheim, when a band of knights of Kaerok attacked a village of peaceful Skinwalkers. Marius led the defense of the settlement, but joined forces with the attackers when the battle awakened a lurking horde of Skellags from a nearby frozen lake. Though Marius won the day, he was badly wounded. As he lay dying, an enigmatic woman, sheathed in holy light, appeared and knelt beside him. She was seen to whisper to him as he breathed his last. And when she rose to her feet, Marius the Gallant had vanished from the world, leaving behind only the stain of his blood and the lasting legend of his heroism. Conclusion Marius the Gallant is a game-changing champion who can elevate any team’s performance across multiple game modes. With his blend of AOE damage, buff removal, strong defensive capabilities, and the right blessings, Marius is truly a champion worth building. Gear him up, select the optimal masteries and blessings, and you’ll have a powerhouse ready to conquer even the toughest challenges RAID has to offer. Happy Raiding!

Value: This ability provides crucial protection and defense boosts, making it ideal for keeping your team resilient in fights against debuff-heavy opponents and tough bosses. Otherworld Breach (A3) AoE attack that places a [Perfect Veil] on all allies (except Tatura) for 2 turns and a shield on Tatura for 2 turns, equal to 20% of the damage dealt. Value: This skill adds both protection and survivability, making Tatura a pivotal defensive support unit in prolonged engagements. Passive - Glimmer Hide Reflects 30% of the damage received back to the attacker and has a 30% chance to place a [Freeze] debuff on the attacker for 1 turn. Value: This passive enhances Tatura’s utility by providing reactive crowd control while reflecting damage, making them a disruptive force on defense. Aura Increases ally DEF in Doom Tower battles by 35%. Value: This Aura cements Tatura’s role as a defensive linchpin for Doom Tower content, providing a substantial defense boost to all allies. Top Gear for Tatura Rimehide Bolster Set Primary Use: General PvE and Arena support. Gear Strategy: The Bolster set provides a protected shield and a 10% heal every turn, offering excellent sustain and survivability for Tatura and allies. This build is great for content where prolonged fights and shielding are crucial. Stat Focus: HP and Defense to maximize the shield’s effectiveness. Speed is important for faster skill rotations, and balanced Crit Rate can enhance damage output. Guardian Set Build Primary Use: High damage mitigation for allies, especially useful in Hydra, Doom Tower, and longer fights. Gear Strategy: The Guardian set absorbs 10% of all damage dealt to allies. This synergizes with Tatura’s tanky kit, enhancing team protection while providing constant healing.

It is in the world's very essence, and has endured throughout its history. Magic lives inside living things of all ages and races, whether children, newly born into the world with gifts that no-one understands, or great and powerful beasts that have been revered for centuries. Magics reside everywhere, and it gives life to all things in Teleria. Some can be comprehended, some are deeply misunderstood, and some are beyond all mortal knowledge. It is the last of these that dwells within the creature known as Tatura Rimehide – a creature whose magic is one of wisdom, grace, and benevolence. A mighty, winged, and leonine chimera of ice and rime, Tatura cuts a striking figure wherever he prowls. His skin is pale blue, made brighter by the sheen of his golden armor and mask. Any enemy unfortunate enough to find themselves before Tatura's charge is run through with horns of razor-sharp ice. An ancient beast, Tatura has witnessed almost all of Teleria's history. He was there during the first wars between Lumaya and Siroth. He watched as the mortal races claimed their places in the world and created kingdoms, and he observed those same kingdoms fought with one another over ‘petty things’ during the Age of Treachery while Siroth plotted his return. The conflicts of the mortal races during the Age of Treachery gave many Demonspawn and necromancers space and time to pursue their nefarious schemes without persecution. The Winterlands, Tatura’s home, was sparsely populated and rumors told of ancient powers hidden there that evil forces sought out. Demonspawn incursions became more frequent, and necromancers stalked the snowy wastes, with retinues of Undead raised from Teleria’s many battlefields. Tatura fended them off as best as he could for years, fighting beside the few Norr people who lived there or, very often, alone. Though Tatura was successful in countless battles, his strength waned as time drew on, and each attack was increasingly likely to be his last. His strength had been pushed to breaking point when another coterie of necromancers attacked the Winterlands with hosts of thralls, and forced Tatura to retreat. They caught up with him at a frozen lake surrounded by towering mountains. The necromancers’ shambling hordes closed in on him as a massive snowstorm whipped up. Though weakened by years of struggle and fierce fighting, Tatura stood firm, expecting this to be his final battle. But it was not to be. Through the blizzard strode a mighty figure draped in a red coat, clad in a suit of plate armor embossed with an image of a great stag, and bearing a colossal sword on his shoulder. With a warm smile on his white-bearded face, he told Tatura hope was not lost, and that Light could yet win out. They fought together, back to back, for an hour, cutting down the minions of Darkness. Both were hard-pressed when another stranger appeared – a winged angel, armored in gold, wielding a long spear. She descended from the skies shrouded in electric-blue lightning, slamming into the Undead. Tatura was emboldened once again, and fought with a strength he had not felt in his weary muscles for many years, tearing apart zombies, ghouls, and wights with his claws. Together, these three warriors – Sir Nicholas, Gliseah Soulguide, and Tatura Rimehide – destroyed the necromantic horrors around them and slaughtered their evil masters, securing the safety of the Winterlands for another day. When the last of their enemies had fallen, the warriors spoke together. They shared grim tidings from the south, and Tatura spoke of his observations from his centuries of living. They decided they would band together to protect the Winterlands from any future incursions and, if needed, go to the aid of the rest of Teleria if tidings became dark indeed. Glad to have found friendship, Tatura returned with the warriors to Sir Nicholas' hall, which became his new home. Together, Tatura, Sir Nicholas, and Gliseah have become figureheads of resistance against the machinations of Siroth in the Winterlands, and symbols of hope to all who dwell there. Many times have they traveled further afield when their strength and courage has been desperately needed, rallying the hopeless and relieving the besieged across Anhelt and Peltas. Time and time again, Tatura has seen the strength of the mortal races tested and proven against the forces of Darkness, and no longer does he dismiss them so readily as he has in the past. He knows that, when the time comes, enough of them will always stand firm against whatever onslaught Siroth might have prepared to cast against them. And Tatura will be proud to fight by their side. Conclusion Tatura Rimehide offers unmatched versatility as a defensive support champion in RAID: Shadow Legends. With the right gear, masteries, and blessings, they excel in PvE and PvP content. Don’t let Tatura gather dust in the vault—optimize them today and elevate your team’s success across all game modes!
