On May 8th, 2023, RAID Shadow Legends officially showed off a&nbsp;new Void Legendary champion, Graazur Irongut, for the first time. He is a Defensive based scaling support and damage-dealing champion from the Ogryn Tribes faction and the 55th void legendary to enter the world of RAID. We will add him to our <a href="https://aftershockunited.gg/raid/champions">FULL OVERALL CHAMPION TIER LIST</a> as soon as we have time to test him more in-game. We also have a&nbsp;<a href="https://aftershockunited.gg/raid/tierlists/void-legendary-champions-tier-list" target="_blank">VOID LEGENDARY TIER LIST</a>&nbsp;that will show him in context with the other void legendary champions. It will take a total of 11 legendary books to max all of his skills.

The first overall perception of him is that he seems quite powerful in terms of his nuking ability due to his A2 skill being an enemy max hp nuke (similar to the likes of Acrizia, Royal Guard, Seer etc). His strength does not only come from that skill as he first utilises his A3 skill to apply a Defensive Buff and an Increase Resistance buff to the team which are then extended by 1 turn through his A2 skill. Overall this is a quite powerful legendary and worth maxing out since he will be utilised in many of the PvE areas of the game.

BASE STATS

<ul>
	<li>Hit Points:&nbsp;18,660</li>
	<li>Attack:&nbsp;1,013</li>
	<li>Defense:&nbsp;1,321</li>
	<li>Speed:&nbsp;102</li>
	<li>Crit Rate:&nbsp;15%</li>
	<li>Crit DMG:&nbsp;50%</li>
	<li>Resistance:&nbsp;40</li>
	<li>Accuracy:&nbsp;20</li>
</ul>

Graazur has good base stats and a solid 20 accuracy to help him land his provoke debuff via his A3 skill. Overall the focus would be Speed, 100% Crit rate, and a good amount of defense to help his damaging A1 and A3 abilities.&nbsp;

Ideal sets would be savage for strict damage and relentless for more advanced set ups like defeating the Hydra Clan Boss.

The first thoughts that come to mind for Graazur's role in the game, would be mainly Dungeons, Hydra, and Faction Wars for the Ogryn Tribes. Having a very unique ability which is the Increase Resistance buff through his A3 will allow for much less geared teams to tackle higher content and his ability to extend buff will allow for other support champions to gain more value through their buffs. 
&nbsp;

His A2 is definitely&nbsp;a solid Enemy MAX HP hitter with a 3-turn cooldown when booked, this allows him to not only support your team but also provide a good source of damage while also being a tanky champion - difficult to kill by any opponent. &nbsp;

For anyone who summons him that hasn't cleared the Ogryn Tribes faction crypt, he could definitely fill into that team for helping players clear that content.

In conclusion,&nbsp;I think that the player base in RAID Shadow Legends is going to be welcoming of Graazur Irongut&nbsp;as a champion joining Raid in May 2023 as he will not be diluting the void champion pool (champions such as Claidna did this recently). He will definitely fit your end game teams for most PvE content but doesn't look like he can be viable for PvP even if he has a unique healing passive which reminds us of Vogoth. 
 
We will continue to test his as a team, get her added to the&nbsp;<a href="https://aftershockunited.gg/raid/champions" target="_blank">OVERALL CHAMPION'S TIER LIST</a>,&nbsp;and adjust him in our&nbsp;<a href="https://aftershockunited.gg/raid/tierlists/void-legendary-champions-tier-list">VOID LEGENDARY TIER LIST</a>&nbsp;if anything changes after being able to test her more.

Graazur Irongut is the new defensive based support nuker that joins Raid in May 2023 and will definitely be one you will be happy pulling.

RAID Hekaton Summoning Event: Best Champion Picks - Sept. 2026

The latest <a href="https://www.raidshadowlegends.com" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">RAID: Shadow Legends</a> news has settled one of the biggest questions surrounding the Argonites. Plarium confirmed in its September 4, 2026 RAID Digest that the Argonites Faction Crypt is not on the roadmap for the remainder of 2026. 

As of September 7, 2026, no opening date has been announced. The same update also addressed the Cowardly Lion’s permanent Shard availability, several Champion bugs, the Treasure Ticket notification, Rosetta support for Mac users, and the next Clan vs. Clan Tournament. 

<a href="https://youtu.be/Bb9s3lFHZsc" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer"><img style="width: 100%; max-width: 900px; height: auto; border-radius: 8px;" src="https://img.youtube.com/vi/Bb9s3lFHZsc/maxresdefault.jpg" alt="RAID NEWS No Argonites Faction Crypt in 2026"></a>

&nbsp;

<h2>Argonites Faction Crypt Will Not Open in 2026</h2>

 The official wording is specific: the Argonites Faction Crypt is not on RAID’s 2026 roadmap. This is a firmer timeline than the March 6 RAID Digest, which only said there were no plans to open the Crypt for at least the next few months.

That means the Argonites will remain a playable Faction without an active Faction Wars Crypt through the end of this year. Existing Crypts will continue their normal rotation, but players will not need to field an Argonites-only Faction Wars team during 2026. 

An opening in early 2027 is possible, but it has not been confirmed. There is currently no official basis for naming January, February, or any other specific month. The accurate position as of September 7 is simply that the Crypt has been delayed beyond 2026.

&nbsp;

<h2>What the Delay Means for Lydia and Polara</h2>

 Plarium presented the delay as additional time for players to work toward Lydia the Deathsiren and Polara Fireheart. Lydia remains the major reward tied to Normal Faction Wars progression, while the Mythical Polara Fireheart is awarded for fully completing Faction Wars Hard Mode. 

Faction Wars Crypts are restricted to Champions from their matching Faction and open in rotating 24-hour windows. With the Argonites Crypt staying closed, there will be no Argonites stages, stars, or Crypt Keys added to that rotation during the remaining months of 2026. 

This does not guarantee that future requirements will remain unchanged once the Crypt eventually opens. It only confirms that no Argonites Faction Wars expansion is scheduled before 2027.

&nbsp;

<h2>Will the Crypt Arrive With Mythical Faction Guardians?</h2>

 A shared 2027 release window makes the Argonites Crypt and Mythical Faction Guardians easy to connect, but there is no confirmed link between them. Mythical Faction Guardians were originally outlined for Update 11.65 before being postponed following player feedback. 

Plarium has separately said that Mythical Faction Guardians should be expected in 2027. However, it has not stated that they will launch alongside the Argonites Crypt. Until a roadmap or release date is published, these should be treated as two separate features planned beyond 2026.

&nbsp;

<h2>Abbess and Khamir Scald-eye Bugs Under Investigation</h2>

 <h3>Abbess: Mass Impalement</h3> 

Abbess’s A2, Mass Impalement, is currently placing its Decrease DEF debuff on a single target instead of applying it as an AoE debuff. This significantly reduces the skill’s intended value against enemy waves and multi-Champion teams. Plarium has confirmed that the issue is being worked on, but no exact patch date has been given. 

<h3>Khamir Scald-eye: Multi-Battle Slowdown</h3> 

Multi-Battle runs that use Khamir Scald-eye may gradually slow down over time. A fix is planned for one of the next patches, although Plarium has not tied it to a specific update. Players using him in extended farming sessions should therefore continue to watch their run times until the fix is confirmed live.

&nbsp;

<h2>Cowardly Lion Cooldown Fix and Permanent Shard Availability</h2> 

The Cowardly Lion’s A3, Strength In The Pack, had a cooldown issue that prevented it from decreasing from two turns to one. That bug was fixed in the latest patch, and the cooldown should now function correctly. 

The Cowardly Lion also entered the permanent Shard pool on September 4, 2026. He will remain summonable after the Echoes of Oz event ends, so his availability is not limited to the collaboration period. 

He is also scheduled to join the Fusion Champion Swap pool at the beginning of 2027. Plarium has not provided a more precise date, so “the beginning of 2027” remains the only confirmed timing.

&nbsp;

<h2>Treasure Ticket Red Dot Explained</h2> 

A red notification dot may remain on the Get Tickets button when a Silver Ticket is available in the RAID Web Shop. This is not a return of the wider red-dot notification issue. Claiming the available Silver Ticket should clear the indicator.

&nbsp;

<h2>Rosetta Extension for Mac Players</h2> 

Mac users with M1–M6 chips may be prompted to install the Rosetta extension when launching RAID through Plarium Play. According to Plarium, the extension is needed to prevent the Events, Tournaments, and FAQ interfaces from crashing.

Rosetta is being used as a temporary workaround while a permanent fix is developed. Players who receive the prompt through Plarium Play should not mistake it for an unrelated third-party installation request.

&nbsp;

<h2>Next Clan vs. Clan Tournament Has No Personal Rewards</h2> 

Plarium’s September 4 announcement states that the upcoming Clan vs. Clan Tournament will not include Personal Rewards. Clan and Versus rewards remain separate parts of CvC, but there will be no additional Personal Rewards track for this installment.

&nbsp;

<h2>RAIDAUTUMN Promo Code Reminder</h2> 

The all-player promo code RAIDAUTUMN was active when this article was prepared on September 7, 2026. It provides one 5-Star Chicken, 300,000 Silver, and 50 Multi-Battle attempts. No expiry date was included in the RAID Digest, so availability should be checked in-game when redeeming it.

&nbsp;

<h2>Start Playing RAID: Shadow Legends</h2> 

New players can begin their journey with Mavara and three powerful Epic Champions through the <a href="http://pl.go-ga.me/mmtlyebw" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">new player download link</a>.

&nbsp;

<h2>Conclusion</h2> 

The September 2026 RAID news removes the immediate uncertainty around the Argonites Faction Crypt: it will not open this year, and no official 2027 launch date has been announced. Players working toward Lydia or Polara have the remainder of 2026 without an Argonites Crypt entering the rotation. 

The Cowardly Lion’s cooldown fix and permanent Shard availability are already live, while the Abbess and Khamir Scald-eye fixes remain in development. Any more specific timing for the Argonites Crypt, Mythical Faction Guardians, or those pending bug fixes should be treated as unconfirmed until Plarium publishes another official update.

Argonites Faction Crypt will not open in 2026. See what the delay means for Lydia and Polara, plus Cowardly Lion news, Abbess bugs, CvC, and RAIDAUTUMN.
