<a href="https://raidhq.gg/raid/champions/haruspex" target="_blank">Haruspex</a> is an old-school Rare Void champion from the Lizardmen faction in <a href="https://www.raidshadowlegends.com" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">RAID: Shadow Legends</a>. Known for his unique role as a reviver, he brings speed boosts and moderate poison damage to the table. Although he may seem overshadowed by newer champions, Haruspex still offers utility in specific areas of the game, especially for early and mid-game players. Let's dive into his skills, build options, masteries, and where he fits best in your team. <a href="https://youtu.be/Qkf-ZbBBjyU" target="_blank"><img src="https://api.flotiq.com/image/0x0/_media-dad05b05-3c27-4a31-9412-f247dad94c7c.PNG" title="Haruspex" alt="Haruspex" style="width: 800px; height: 470px; display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"></a> Skills Overview A1 - Infected Liver Haruspex attacks one enemy twice, with each hit having a 15% chance (increased to 40% with Sniper mastery) of placing a 2.5% Poison debuff for two turns. This ability is useful in extended fights where poison damage can stack up, albeit on a weaker scale. To maximize its effectiveness, consider booking him to reduce cooldowns. A2 - Sign of Swiftness Fills the Turn Meters of all allies by 15% and places a 15% [Increase SPD] buff for two turns. This ability, on a 5-turn cooldown (can be reduced), is essential for speed-tuning your teams, especially in early-game Arena and Faction Wars. It's an excellent opener to give your team the advantage. A3 - Fate Reweaved Revives a dead ally with 30% HP and fills their Turn Meter by 30%. While it’s not the strongest revive in the game, its value lies in Faction Wars and early Arena battles, where even a simple revive can turn the tide. However, note that Haruspex lacks support skills like healing or buffs, making his revive less impactful in difficult battles. Aura Increases Ally SPD in Arena battles by 15%. This aura can be beneficial for players in the early game who need a speed advantage in Arena matches. Gear Recommendations For Haruspex, the focus is on survivability and speed. Here's a breakdown of gear sets and stats: Gear Sets Immortal Set: Provides HP regeneration, ensuring he stays alive long enough to revive allies and boost speed. Speed Set: Ideal for increasing his turn meter boost potential and overall speed utility. Accuracy Set: If you want to maximize his poison chances on the A1, an Accuracy set can help. Primary Stats Weapon: Attack Helmet: HP Shield: Defense Gloves: HP% or Defense% Chestplate: HP% or Defense% Boots: Speed Ring: HP or Defense Amulet: HP or Defense Banner: Accuracy (if you aim to increase his poison effectiveness) or Resistance (to prevent him from getting debuffed when he needs to revive). Masteries for Haruspex To optimize Haruspex's performance, focus on a mix of support and defense masteries: Offense Tree Deadly Precision - Increases his critical rate, giving more consistency to his hits. Heart of Glory - Increases damage when he is at full HP. Life Drinker - Allows him to heal a portion of the damage he deals when his HP drops below 50%. Whirlwind of Death - Increases speed for each enemy killed, helping him maintain speed boosts. Cycle of Violence - Provides a chance to reduce cooldowns when he inflicts critical damage. Warmaster - Best for dealing consistent damage on bosses, especially in Faction Wars. Support Tree Steadfast - Grants extra HP, helping with overall survivability. Lay on Hands - Increases the healing received, useful for keeping Haruspex alive. Healing Savior - Enhances healing effects when an ally’s HP is low, supporting his revives. Rapid Response - Increases turn meter whenever a buff he casts expires, making him faster. Lasting Gifts - Extends the duration of buffs, enhancing the effectiveness of his A2 skill. This mastery setup focuses on maximizing Haruspex's ability to boost his speed and support his team effectively while still dealing some damage when needed. <a href="https://raidhq.gg/raid/blessing" target="_blank">Blessings</a> For an awakened Haruspex, the recommended blessing is: Survival Instinct This blessing partially fills his turn meter whenever a debuff is placed, spread, or transferred onto him. It’s particularly effective as it provides additional turn meter boosts, making him more responsive and keeping his speed buffs and revives available as often as possible. Where to Use Haruspex Early Game Arena Haruspex’s speed aura and A2 ability make him an excellent choice for new players seeking a speed advantage in Arena. Pair him with champions that deal high damage or apply crowd control for an early-game Arena strategy. Faction Wars (Lizardmen) Given the scarcity of revivers in the Lizardmen faction, Haruspex is invaluable here. His utility shines in faction battles where his revive can be the difference between victory and defeat. Dungeon Progression While not the first choice for dungeons, Haruspex can be useful in Ice Golem or Spider’s Den early on, especially if you need a speed booster and reviver. His poison debuff adds a bit of extra damage, which helps in longer fights. Conclusion Haruspex may not be the flashiest or strongest rare champion in RAID: Shadow Legends, but he has a role, especially for new and mid-game players looking for a speed booster and reviver for Faction Wars or Arena. Investing in his speed and survivability will make him a valuable member of your team, offering support where it’s needed most. With the right masteries and blessings, Haruspex can fit into niche roles effectively. Remember, his kit may seem limited, but in the right situations, he provides crucial support and speed advantages, making him a worthwhile investment for certain players.

Haruspex Guide | Rare Reviver & Speed Booster (Build & Guide)

The Great Hall is one of the most impactful long-term investments you can make in RAID: Shadow Legends. Whether you're a fresh Level 6 player or deep into endgame content like Hydra or Cursed City, maximizing your Affinity and Area Bonuses provides powerful account-wide stat boosts. This 2025 guide covers everything you need to know—including which stats to prioritize, how medals and crests work, and how to plan upgrades without wasting resources. Unlocking the Great Hall: When and How The Great Hall becomes available once you reach&nbsp;Level 6&nbsp;in-game. It consists of two core sections: Affinity Bonuses (unlocked at Level 6) Area Bonuses (unlocked at Level 50, alongside Live Arena) Each system enhances your champions' base stats—either globally or in specific content areas—and the boosts are always active. They don’t require specific gear or conditions to apply. Affinity Bonuses Explained <img src="https://cdn-gpd.x-plarium.com/browser/content/raid-guides/great-hall/GH_1.png" title="Affinity Bonuses" alt="Affinity Bonusses" style="width: 800px; display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"> How It Works The Affinity Bonuses tab includes six stat categories across four affinities: Magic, Spirit, Force, and Void. Each stat (like Accuracy, HP, or Crit Damage) has its own upgrade path within each affinity. Upgrades provide a permanent boost to base stats&nbsp;of all champions belonging to the upgraded affinity, and they apply in every single battle, including Arena, Clan Boss, Dungeons, and Doom Tower. Available Stats - HP - ATK - DEF - C. DMG (Critical Damage) - RES (Resistance) - ACC (Accuracy) Each stat can be upgraded from&nbsp;Level 0 to Level 10, with stronger bonuses at higher levels. For example, a Level 10 HP bonus for Void affinity gives all Void champions +20% MAX HP. Earning &amp; Using Medals <img src="https://cdn-gpd.x-plarium.com/browser/content/raid-guides/great-hall/great-hall-2.png"> Medals are earned by winning battles in Classic Arena: Bronze Medals from Bronze Tier Silver Medals from Silver Tier Gold Medals from Gold and Platinum Tiers Medal Usage Breakdown Level 1–3 upgrades: Any medal type (Bronze/Silver/Gold) Level 4–6 upgrades: Silver or Gold only Level 7–10 upgrades: Gold only Mixed medal payments are allowed—e.g., 1 Gold Medal = 2 Silver or 4 Bronze. This flexibility helps ease progression. Once you’ve maxed out all Affinity Bonuses, you unlock&nbsp;Gold Medal Chests, which cost 1000 Gold Medals and can be opened every 48 hours. These contain charms and 5–6 star Divine Artifacts like Divine Speed, Life, Offense, and Crit Rate sets. <img src="https://cdn-gpd.x-plarium.com/browser/content/raid-guides/great-hall/great-hall-4.png" style="width: 800px; display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"> What to Prioritize in the Great Hall If you're unsure where to invest first, here’s the optimal order based on utility and long-term value: 1.&nbsp;Accuracy – Nearly 80% of champions need debuff success to function. 2.&nbsp;Resistance – A strong counter to crowd control and debuffs. 3.&nbsp;HP – Applies to all champions and scales survivability better than DEF. 4.&nbsp;Crit Damage – Strong for nukers, but gear often covers this already. 5.&nbsp;Defense – Good for specific defense-based champs. 6.&nbsp;Attack – Lowest priority due to fewer attack-based nukers. 💡&nbsp;Pro Tip: Start with Magic Affinity since most beginner champions (like Kael or Elhain) are Magic-based, and early promo/event champs also tend to be Magic. Area Bonuses Explained <img src="https://cdn-gpd.x-plarium.com/browser/content/raid-guides/great-hall/gh1_new.png" style="width: 800px; display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"> Once you hit&nbsp;Level 50, you unlock the Area Bonuses section, tied to Live Arena progression. Unlike Affinity Bonuses, these stat boosts only apply within specific content areas. Stat Types Available - HP - ATK - DEF - SPD - C. DMG - RES - ACC - Ignore DEF (exclusive to Area Bonuses) Where Bonuses Apply Bonuses activate in specific areas, such as: - Potion Keeps - Faction Wars - Fire Knight's Castle - Ice Golem's Peak - Doom Tower - Hydra Battles - Cursed City - Sand Devil's Necropolis &nbsp;&nbsp;...and more. Each location has a Grade (1–3), which determines the cost and rarity of crests required: - Grade 1 - Potion Keeps, Faction Wars - Bronze - Grade 2 - Dungeon Areas, Doom Tower, Iron Twins - Silver - Grade 3 - Demon Lord, Hydra, Cursed City - Gold Earning &amp; Using Crests Crests are won in Live Arena: Bronze Crests from Bronze Tier Silver Crests from Silver Tier Gold Crests from Gold Tier Crest Usage Breakdown Level 1–3 upgrades: Bronze, Silver, or Gold Level 4–6 upgrades: Silver or Gold only Level 7–10 upgrades: Gold only Unlike medals, crest usage gets more expensive as you move up. Once you unlock Gold tier, you’re locked into using Gold Crests, even for lower-level upgrades. Best Area Bonus Stats to Prioritize Here are the most valuable upgrades based on game-wide impact: ✅ Ignore DEF – Top Tier - Up to 20% defense ignore - Massive value, especially for nukers and PvP ✅ Speed – Game-Changer - Up to +20 Speed - Always relevant; benefits every area and team comp ✅ Accuracy – Still King - Stacks with Affinity Accuracy bonuses - Helps hit debuff thresholds in harder content like Hydra After these three, consider: - Resistance – For PvP and debuff-heavy bosses - HP – Universal survivability - Crit Damage – Only if your team already survives well Final Strategy Tips - Focus your Great Hall on Accuracy first—across all affinities. - Save attack stat upgrades for last; they apply to fewer champions overall. - In Area Bonuses, don’t rush to Gold tier unless you’re ready for the grind—it’ll lock you out of cheaper crest usage. - Prioritize bonuses in content you engage with most: Hydra, Cursed City, and Faction Wars are great starting points. &nbsp;

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

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