Plarium has lined up a new <a href="https://www.raidshadowlegends.com" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Raid: Shadow Legends</a> Progressive Chance event alongside the Mavara the Web Diviner fusion, giving players another decision point during one of the better fusion windows in recent memory. With the event tied to the Summon Rush and featuring a strong spread of Legendaries and Epics, this is not one of those throwaway shard announcements where every boosted option feels replaceable.

&nbsp;

The real question is not whether the pool has good champions. It does. The question is which champions are worth targeting for your account, and whether pulling now makes sense while you are already managing resources for Mavara. Some names here are niche, some are excellent progression pieces, and a few are genuinely high-end targets if you have the shards and the setup to support them.

&nbsp;

&nbsp;

Progressive Chance pool overview

&nbsp;

This Progressive Chance event includes the following featured Legendaries: Aragaz Wyldking, Knosson the Bronze Bull, The Incarnate, Vault Keeper Wixwell, Freyja Fateweaver, Gaspard the Accused, Graazur Irongut, and Titus Blackplume. The Epic pool includes Skeuramis, Vogoth, Seeker, Deephook Nagis, and Umbral Enchantress.

&nbsp;

That is a much better lineup than the average shard event. There is real PvE value here, real Arena value here, and a couple of excellent account-carry champions if you are still building depth.

&nbsp;

Best Legendary targets from the event

&nbsp;

Vault Keeper Wixwell remains one of the safest and strongest overall targets in the pool. He is still one of the most important shield-based utility champions in the game, with provoke utility, defensive support, and the ability to enable massive shield-growth strategies. Even outside of specialized endgame damage setups, Wixwell is simply a useful champion to own. He can do real work in difficult PvE content and gives accounts more flexibility in survivability-focused teams.

&nbsp;

Freyja Fateweaver is another premium option because she does so much in one kit. AoE provoke on the A1, a strong team shield, Increase DEF, cleanse, Turn Meter fill, Block Debuffs, and a passive that helps keep a key ally alive all add up to a champion who is good almost everywhere. She may not be the absolute top of the endgame meta, but she is one of those champions who rarely feels like a bad pull because she offers broad value across progression, PvE support, and general account stability.

&nbsp;

Graazur Irongut is still an excellent defensive utility pick. He brings an AoE A1 with shield application, strong support tools, buff extension, healing, and overall control value. He naturally invites comparison to Krisk because of the defensive tank profile and the utility-heavy kit, even if the comparison is not perfectly fair. Graazur may not be quite that tier, but he is still a serious champion and one of the better support-oriented Legendaries on this list.

&nbsp;

Gaspard the Accused is the specialist’s choice and arguably the most dangerous high-end Arena pick in the event. He is not a general-use comfort champion for every account, but in Arena he can be brutal. His kit punishes revives, ignores key defensive mechanics, and can immediately answer enemy revival attempts with another hit that places the target right back in the ground. If your account is already deep and you care about Live Arena or serious competitive PvP, Gaspard is one of the most interesting targets in the whole lineup.

&nbsp;

Titus Blackplume is the high-ceiling PvE damage target. He is not a plug-and-play champion for most accounts, and that matters. Titus can produce absurd damage in the right teams, but he really needs support pieces and proper setup to unlock that value. Wixwell is the main partner most players think of first, and broader shield-based setups are what turn Titus from “good on paper” into “ridiculous in practice.” If you can build the team, he is one of the most destructive PvE damage dealers in the game. If you cannot, he is much less exciting.

&nbsp;

Knosson the Bronze Bull is the newest face in the pool and one of the more intriguing ones. His kit is built around Max HP scaling, provoke interaction, and punishing enemies whose Max HP falls below his own. He looks like a thoughtful design rather than a generic bruiser. The AoE provoke and the passive damage amplification against provoked enemies stand out immediately. The one real caution is that some of his value still needs testing in live play, and a single-target damage focus can feel less impressive in certain metas than it reads on paper. Still, as a fresh Argonite HP Legendary, he looks promising.

&nbsp;

The Incarnate is in a much better place after her recent buff. Her value rises a lot when paired with Arbiter because the companion synergy is now much more meaningful than it used to be. Shield removal, buff stripping, ally protection, healing, strengthen, resistance support, and Arbiter-focused protection all make her more usable than before. She is still not a top-end must-have, but she has gone from easy skip territory to a respectable synergy-based pickup if you want to build around that pairing.

&nbsp;

Aragaz Wyldking is solid, especially for Orcs Faction Wars and certain restrictive setups, but he is not one of the true headline pulls here. He has useful support value, sustain on the A1, and some control, which makes him a helpful champion rather than a flashy one. If your Orc roster is weak, he becomes more appealing. If your account is already established, he is probably not the reason you pull.

&nbsp;

Best Epic targets from the event

&nbsp;

Seeker is still one of the best Epic Turn Meter boosters in <a href="https://www.raidshadowlegends.com" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Raid</a>. A 30% Turn Meter fill plus the extra turn is a very clean and still highly relevant tool for speed teams and certain speed-tuned setups. He has been around a long time for a reason.

&nbsp;

Vogoth remains one of the best all-around Epic support champions in the game. He brings healing, Leech, provoke utility, and a nasty A1 that gives him value far beyond simple sustain. He is one of those champions who keeps proving useful even after an account has grown well past early progression.

&nbsp;

Umbral Enchantress deserves mention because new gear options have improved her stock again. With the right set choices, especially in Hydra-oriented builds, she can once again function as a very relevant control champion thanks to her strong provoke capability and three-turn Block Buffs utility.

&nbsp;

Deephook Nagis looks better than many players are giving credit for. She brings ally protection support, strengthen, Increase ATK on a target ally, Turn Meter fill, AoE Weaken, stun utility, and provoke access. That is a useful amount of support packed into one Epic, especially for restrictive content, progression rosters, or faction-based team building.

&nbsp;

Skeuramis rounds out the Epic side as a respectable control-oriented option, though the standouts for most players are still Seeker, Vogoth, and Umbral Enchantress.

&nbsp;

How this event fits the Mavara fusion

&nbsp;

This is where the decision gets practical. Mavara the Web Diviner is not just another average fusion filler champion. She is a Hybrid Fusion Legendary running from April 8 through April 22, and players need to collect fragments for Stonebound Thisbe four times to complete her. That means every shard decision during this window matters more than usual.

&nbsp;

Mavara herself looks valuable because she offers a revive, team protection through Perfect Veil, self-placed Unkillable, and passive value in buff-heavy fights through Turn Meter gain and healing. In plain terms, she looks like a fusion worth respecting, especially for players who want better support tools for Arena and longer-form fights.

&nbsp;

That does not automatically mean everyone should empty their shard stash on this Progressive Chance event. Progressive Chance events are still what they have always been: targeted upside, not guaranteed value. If pulling here helps you secure Summon Rush points while also giving you a real shot at a champion like Wixwell, Freyja, Graazur, Gaspard, or Titus, then there is a strong argument for going in. If you are barely holding enough resources to finish Mavara, then discipline still matters more than temptation.

&nbsp;

Final verdict on who to target

&nbsp;

For most accounts, the safest top-value targets are Vault Keeper Wixwell, Freyja Fateweaver, and Graazur Irongut. For competitive PvP players, Gaspard the Accused is one of the most dangerous and unique options in the pool. For players with the correct setup and the appetite for specialized PvE damage teams, Titus Blackplume offers the highest ceiling. Knosson the Bronze Bull is the wildcard: promising, interesting, and worth watching closely.

&nbsp;

On the Epic side, Seeker and Vogoth still stand out immediately, while Umbral Enchantress and Deephook Nagis offer more targeted value depending on your roster needs.

&nbsp;

Taken as a whole, this is a better-than-usual shard event attached to a better-than-usual fusion. That does not mean every account should chase it hard, but it does mean the pull targets are real this time and not just decoration around the fusion calendar.

Mavara the Web Diviner fusion gets a new shard event in RAID: Shadow Legends. Here are the best summon targets, top value picks, and which champions are actually worth chasing.

RAID Mavara Fusion Shard Event Guide: Best Summon Targets No...

RAID Mavara Fusion Shard Event Guide: Best Summon Targets Now!

Raid: Shadow Legends has launched another event pairing that is already splitting opinion across the community. Starting on Monday, April 13, players are getting a 96-hour Awakening Boost Event running alongside an Adventure Deck of Fate built around high-rank Glyph rewards. On paper, that sounds strong. In practice, it raises the same question that comes up every time Plarium lines up overlapping progression systems: is this a solid opportunity, or is it just another cleverly packaged bait event?

&nbsp;

The answer is not the same for every account. This is not one of those situations where everybody should go all-in or everybody should skip. The value depends almost entirely on what resources you have saved, where your account is in progression, and whether you place more importance on future guaranteed rewards than immediate account upgrades.

&nbsp;

<a href="https://youtu.be/EbtATT0Wff0" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"><img src="https://img.youtube.com/vi/EbtATT0Wff0/maxresdefault.jpg" alt="New DECK EVENT - Am I Wrong For Not Calling it BAIT?"></a>

&nbsp;

What Is the New Deck Event?

&nbsp;

This version of Adventure Deck of Fate runs together with the Awakening Boost and gives points from three main sources: summoning Souls from Soulstones, summoning Champions, and obtaining Artifacts and Accessories. That matters because it creates more flexibility than some previous Deck events, where the point paths felt narrower and more restrictive.

&nbsp;

The featured rewards here are Rank 6 Glyphs, including Uncommon, Rare, Epic, and Legendary Glyphs. The most important detail for many late-game players is that Legendary Glyphs are tucked behind Purple Fate Chests, while Epic Glyphs can appear under Purple cards and Blue chests, with the lower rarities spread through the rest of the board. Players can also pin card rarities, which gives at least some control when targeting specific reward tiers.

&nbsp;

For anybody pushing deeper into endgame gearing, especially in Faction Wars Hard, that is where the event starts looking more attractive. Top-end Glyphs are not handed out often, and Legendary Haste Glyphs in particular can be account-changing when used on the right piece of gear.

&nbsp;

The Awakening Boost Makes the Event Better

&nbsp;

The second half of the equation is the Awakening Boost Event, which increases the chances of pulling 5-star and 6-star Perfect Souls from Mortal and Immortal Soulstones. Just like usual, the boost applies to rank, not rarity. So the event does not suddenly make Legendary Souls more common, but it does improve your odds of seeing higher-rank Souls when you open stones during the window.

&nbsp;

That is what creates the main selling point of this event package. If you were already considering opening Soulstones anyway, you are getting a chance to double dip: improved Soul value from the Awakening event and extra progress in the Deck of Fate at the same time. That is real value.

&nbsp;

So Is It Actually Bait?

&nbsp;

It can be. But calling it bait without context is too simplistic.

&nbsp;

For a free-to-play or low-spend account that has been carefully hoarding Soulstones for a future Deck of Fate with a guaranteed Champion, valuable Awakening reward, or Fusion tie-in, skipping this event is completely reasonable. You are not wrong for preferring certainty over Glyphs, even strong Glyphs. Deck events can return later with more direct account value, and once resources are gone, they are gone.

&nbsp;

On the other hand, for accounts that already spend, already farm hard, or already planned to open Soulstones, this event is not automatically bait either. It is actually one of the cleaner examples of an event where Plarium lines up two systems in a way that can reward efficient timing. If the Glyph pool appeals to you and you are comfortable using Soulstones now, there is logic behind taking advantage of the overlap.

&nbsp;

That is really the honest middle ground. This is not a universal must-do event, but it is also not a universal skip.

&nbsp;

Why the Glyphs Matter More Than They Look

&nbsp;

A lot of event discussions in <a href="https://www.raidshadowlegends.com" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Raid</a> get warped because players compare everything to champions. That misses the point here. A top-tier Glyph, especially a Rank 6 Legendary Haste Glyph, can have a bigger immediate impact on an established account than another random champion sitting in the vault. Endgame builds live and die on stat tuning, and Speed remains one of the most premium stats in the game for a huge amount of content.

&nbsp;

That does not mean every player should chase these rewards recklessly. It means the reward type is better than it might look at first glance. For developed accounts, premium Glyph access is one of the few rewards that still feels genuinely meaningful.

&nbsp;

Best Way to Approach the Event

&nbsp;

The cleanest approach is to treat this as a value check, not a hype check. If you were already planning to crack Soulstones, this is a good window to do it. If you were already planning to farm gear, the Deck gives that farming extra value. What does not make sense for most players is forcing all three point sources at once without a plan.

&nbsp;

A sensible route is to lean hardest into Soulstone pulls and Artifact and Accessory farming, while being much more cautious about Champion summoning. Champion shards usually have better dedicated windows elsewhere, and there is no good reason to burn them here unless it already lines up with your own account goals.

&nbsp;

For late-game players, there is also some logic in using energy on progression-focused content while the Deck is active, especially if you are trying to stay stocked on enhancement materials and keep your gear pipeline moving. The main thing is to decide beforehand how far you are willing to go. Deck events become bad the moment you start chasing one more chest or one more pinned reward after your original plan is already gone.

&nbsp;

Who Should Probably Skip

&nbsp;

You should strongly consider skipping if you have a small Soulstone stash and are waiting for a stronger guaranteed reward structure, if you are early or midgame and high-end Glyphs will not move your account as much as future champions would, or if you would need to dip into Champion shards just to make the Deck worthwhile.

&nbsp;

Who Can Justify Going In

&nbsp;

This event makes more sense if you already intended to open Soulstones during a boosted window, if your account values premium Glyphs highly, especially Haste, Precision, or Resistance, and if you have enough resources to take advantage of the overlap without touching shards you would rather save.

&nbsp;

Conclusion

&nbsp;

No, this new Deck event is not automatically bait. But it is not automatically amazing either.

&nbsp;

This is one of those <a href="https://www.raidshadowlegends.com" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Raid</a> events where the right answer depends on how disciplined you are and what your account actually needs. If you value top-end Glyphs and you were already prepared to open Soulstones, this is a respectable double-dip window. If you are preserving resources for a future guaranteed champion or more predictable payoff, skipping is perfectly defensible.

&nbsp;

That is the real takeaway. Do not flatten every event into “bait” or “must pull.” This one sits in the middle. For the right account, it is smart value. For the wrong account, it is a trap. Knowing which side you are on is what matters.

New Deck Event in RAID brings a Glyph-focused Deck of Fate alongside an Awakening Boost, and this guide breaks down whether it is bait, value, or a smart skip for your account.

RAID New Deck Event Guide: Bait, Value, or a Smart Skip Toda...

RAID New Deck Event Guide: Bait, Value, or a Smart Skip Today

April has brought another big batch of champions into <a href="https://www.raidshadowlegends.com" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Raid: Shadow Legends</a>, and this wave feels anything but filler. Between Sabrael the Distant looking like a top-end Arena terror, Mavara the Web Diviner entering as one of the stronger recent revive supports, and the new Argonite legendaries all landing with clear identities, this release leans heavily toward utility, disruption, and modern kit design.

&nbsp;

A lot of these kits also continue the trend that players have been noticing for a while now: newer champions are arriving with more layered passives, more skill compression, and far less wasted space in their kits. In plain English, yes, this batch absolutely feeds the power creep conversation. Some of these champions look merely strong, while others look like they were built to force their way into serious PvP, Hydra, or progression teams immediately.

&nbsp;

<a href="https://youtu.be/GSFePrBqSP8" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"><img src="https://img.youtube.com/vi/GSFePrBqSP8/maxresdefault.jpg" alt="Reviewing EVERY New April Champion in RAID (Power Creep!)"></a>

&nbsp;

Sabrael the Distant 

Sabrael is the clear headline champion of the patch. Her base form is built like a ruthless control specialist for high-end PvP, while her alternate form flips into an executioner that punishes defensive mechanics and cooldown-locked enemies.

&nbsp;

In her base form, the biggest standout is how much she does in one turn cycle. She brings a 33% Speed Aura in Arena, a disruptive A1 that can place Sleep and trigger automatically when enemies gain Turn Meter, a buff-strip-and-buff-spread AoE, and an AoE that increases enemy skill cooldowns to the maximum while also dropping Turn Meter and granting an extra turn. That already puts her in the conversation for top-tier Arena openers.

&nbsp;

Then the passive pushes things even further. Sabrael takes no damage when attacked outside an enemy’s active turn, which makes her especially nasty into counterattacks, ally attacks, and similar reactive pressure. On top of that, her team damage ramps based on how many enemy skills she has locked out, which means her control is not just defensive. It actively turns into offense.

&nbsp;

Her alternate form looks just as ugly for opponents. She gains a triple-hit A1 that ignores Block Damage and Unkillable and can fire automatically when those mechanics appear. Her AoE attack can swap HP with a target before hitting, which should give her real damage potential against high-HP enemies, and another AoE attack chips away at Stone Skin, shields, and Magma Shield while ignoring part of the target’s Defense.

&nbsp;

The verdict is simple: Sabrael looks like one of the strongest new Arena champions in the game. She has speed, control, buff manipulation, cooldown pressure, built-in anti-cheat-death tools, and a passive that makes her even more annoying to answer. This is the kind of champion that makes older PvP rosters feel dated in a hurry.

&nbsp;

Best early use: Classic Arena, Live Arena, wave-heavy control setups, Siege offense, and anywhere turn denial matters more than raw damage.

&nbsp;

Build direction: Speed, Accuracy, and survivability in base form, with enough offensive pressure to let the alternate form cash in. She looks like a champion who can justify premium Arena gear immediately.

&nbsp;

Costeau Two-Skin 

Costeau Two-Skin looks like a poison specialist with enough built-in activation and spread mechanics to matter well beyond beginner dungeon play. He is not just dropping poisons and calling it a day. His kit is stitched together to keep poison damage rolling efficiently.

&nbsp;

His A1 can extend enemy debuffs and, when that fails, activate poison debuffs on the target instead. His second skill lays down Poison Sensitivity plus poisons, then spreads those effects to the rest of the enemy team. His AoE brings Decrease ATK, boosts his own Turn Meter depending on how many targets are affected, and instantly activates poisons on all enemies.

&nbsp;

That is a very clean poison damage loop. Apply, spread, accelerate, activate. Add in immunity to Poison, Stun, and Decrease SPD, plus a passive that ramps both damage dealt and Ignore DEF based on enemy debuffs, and he starts looking far more dangerous than a standard poisoner.

&nbsp;

Costeau should be very interesting for Dragon, longer PvE fights, and specialized poison teams. He looks like the kind of champion that can slot into established poison archetypes without feeling redundant.

&nbsp;

Build direction: Accuracy first, then Speed and enough survivability to stay in rotation. Damage stats get better the more you trust the passive scaling and poison activations to do the heavy lifting.

&nbsp;

Mavara the Web Diviner 

Mavara is the fusion champion, and she looks strong enough that she should be taken seriously by a wide range of accounts. Her kit is not flashy in the same way Sabrael’s is, but it is packed with exactly the kind of support utility that keeps showing up in difficult content and long fights.

&nbsp;

She has excellent base speed for a support, a strong Arena speed aura, HP equalization to stabilize the team, and one of the more appealing revive skills added recently. That revive brings Perfect Veil and Unkillable, and it stays useful even when no ally is revived because the buffs still go out. That matters.

&nbsp;

Her passive is another reason she stands out. Every time the enemy team piles up enough buffs, Mavara can increase ally Turn Meter. Every time her own side piles up enough buffs, she heals the team. So she is not just a reviver. She is feeding momentum and sustain throughout the fight.

&nbsp;

That combination should make Mavara especially valuable in Arena, Siege, longer PvE fights, and controlled progression content. She looks like the kind of support champion who rewards good timing rather than brute force, and those champions usually age well.

&nbsp;

Build direction: Speed, HP, DEF, and Resistance depending on role. Accuracy is less urgent unless you want every bit of tempo value possible, so she can be built as a very durable support.

&nbsp;

Bayard the Broad 

Bayard the Broad looks like one of the more creative control-support legendaries in the batch. He combines buff stealing, debuff transfer, debuff spread, AoE Provoke, Pain Link, counterattack utility, and team healing tied to damage taken.

&nbsp;

The most interesting part of his design is how the skills feed into each other. His single-target skill can steal buffs, move debuffs off himself, and then spread those debuffs to the rest of the enemy team. His AoE then Provokes enemies and applies Pain Link, reflecting damage back while setting up counterattacks on himself and the ally with the highest Crit Damage.

&nbsp;

That already gives him annoying value in wave control, but the passive healing makes the package more complete. He also self-applies Increase DEF at the end of each turn, which is exactly what you want on a champion trying to stand in the middle of incoming pressure and turn it back on the enemy.

&nbsp;

Bayard looks like a disruptive progression and wave-content champion more than a pure endgame speed clear piece. He is not the cleanest kit in the release, but he might end up being one of the more annoying ones to fight and one of the more fun ones to build around.

&nbsp;

Build direction: DEF, HP, Speed, and Accuracy. He wants to stay alive, land his control, and keep feeding value through Pain Link, counterattacks, and sustain.

&nbsp;

Phemo the Shepherd 

Phemo the Shepherd looks like a proper defensive control champion. He has the kind of kit that can feel irritating in both wave content and PvP if his numbers are strong enough, because he does not just protect the team. He punishes enemies for trying to play normally.

&nbsp;

His A2 places Increase DEF and a shield on all allies, and those buffs become protected if there are dead allies. The real value comes from the passive interaction: when an ally is killed, Phemo can instantly fire that protection skill without putting it on cooldown. That gives teams a built-in recovery layer even after taking a loss.

&nbsp;

His main control move then brings a long single-target stun, a full Turn Meter drop, and conditional follow-up AoE stun plus more Turn Meter suppression. The passive scaling on successful stuns gives him growing DEF and HP, while allies under his shield become immune to stun debuffs.

&nbsp;

That is a strong package for wave control, sustained progression fights, and defensive utility teams. He may not be the flashiest champion in the patch, but there is plenty here that looks genuinely useful.

&nbsp;

Build direction: DEF, Accuracy, Speed, and HP. He looks like a champion who wants to cycle back into his control tools quickly while staying hard to remove.

&nbsp;

Nosin the Bronzebull 

Nosin the Bronzebull is probably the most wait-and-see champion in the release, but the framework is interesting. He is built around Provoke, Destroy Max HP, repeated Turn Meter gains, and punishing enemies who are forced to attack while controlled.

&nbsp;

His A1 destroys enemy max HP and boosts his own Turn Meter, with both effects getting stronger against Provoked targets. That is a simple but effective loop. His other single-target attack ignores Defense and Stone Skin under the right HP conditions, and can either chain into his Provoke skill on kill or heal allies if the target survives. That gives him a mix of pressure and utility rather than locking him into one role.

&nbsp;

The Provoke skill itself places the debuff on all enemies and gives him Counterattack, which is exactly what you would want on a champion whose A1 is doing so much work. The passive then cuts the damage of Provoked enemies and boosts ally damage against them. That is strong teamwide value if the debuff uptime is reliable.

&nbsp;

Nosin looks like a champion with real control-and-pressure upside, though how highly he ends up being rated will depend a lot on his damage numbers and how comfortably he can maintain his Provoke loop.

&nbsp;

Build direction: HP, Accuracy, Speed, and enough survivability to stay active through longer fights. He looks built for repeated rotations more than for one clean burst turn.

&nbsp;

Stonebound Thisbe 

Stonebound Thisbe is the fusion epic, and she looks far better than a throwaway epic tucked inside a fusion event. She brings an Accuracy aura, Decrease ATK and Turn Meter theft on her A1, AoE Hex plus Block Buffs on a three-turn cooldown, and a support skill that shortens ally debuffs, heals, and fills Turn Meter.

&nbsp;

That alone would already make her worth noticing, but the passive adds a damage amplification effect against enemies under debuffs she places. It is not flashy, but it is useful. This is the kind of champion that can quietly improve a team without demanding a mythical gear set to work.

&nbsp;

She looks especially attractive for Hydra, general support roles, and Argonite faction progression. AoE Hex and Block Buffs on one skill is already a good place to start. Add healing, some debuff management, and Turn Meter fill, and she becomes a very respectable epic right away.

&nbsp;

Build direction: Accuracy, Speed, and HP. She wants to land her utility consistently and keep cycling back into her support skill.

&nbsp;

The bigger takeaway from this April release 

The real story is not just that these champions look good. It is that very few of them look wasted. Sabrael feels like elite Arena pressure. Mavara feels like a genuinely strong fusion support. Costeau has a clear poison identity. Bayard and Phemo both bring layered disruption. Nosin has an interesting control engine. Stonebound Thisbe looks immediately usable as an epic.

&nbsp;

That is where the power creep conversation comes in. Modern champions are increasingly arriving with stronger passives, better internal synergy, and fewer dead turns than many older champions ever had. This patch fits that trend. Not every one of these champions will end up being broken, but the overall standard is clearly high.

&nbsp;

Conclusion 

If there is one champion who screams immediate impact, it is Sabrael the Distant. She looks like the kind of Arena champion that forces players to rethink their answers from day one. Right behind her, Mavara the Web Diviner looks like one of the better recent fusion supports, and Stonebound Thisbe could easily be one of the more useful fusion epics added in a while.

&nbsp;

The new Argonites also continue to give RAID’s newest faction a strong identity, which makes sense given Plarium’s recent anniversary push around the faction. Overall, this is a loaded April release. Whether you call it power creep or just stronger champion design, this batch clearly has teeth.

Sabrael the Distant leads this April RAID champion review, covering Mavara, Costeau, Bayard, Phemo, Nosin, and Stonebound Thisbe with early build and role analysis.

RAID April Champions Review: Are These New Units Power Creep...

RAID April Champions Review: Are These New Units Power Creep?!

The latest Progressive Chance rotation in <a href="https://www.raidshadowlegends.com" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Raid: Shadow Legends</a> gives players two separate summon windows to think through, and this is one of those weeks where the banner matters a lot more than the hype. There are some genuinely elite names here, but there are also a few champions who look better on paper than they do for the average account in practice.

&nbsp;

For this roundup, the real question is not just who is strongest in a vacuum. It is who actually changes an account, who fills a rare role, and who is worth chasing in a Progressive Chance event that still does not change your base odds of pulling a Legendary or Void Legendary in the first place. If you are going in this week, you want to do it with a clear priority list.

&nbsp;


 <a href="https://youtu.be/Mltl-kMJ1rk" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">
 <img src="https://img.youtube.com/vi/Mltl-kMJ1rk/maxresdefault.jpg" alt="This Week’s Summons Ranked (Who is REALLY Worth It?)" style="max-width: 100%; height: auto;">
 </a>



&nbsp;

<h2>Best Overall Target: Glorious Pallas</h2> 

If we are ranking pure account value, Glorious Pallas is right at the top. She brings exactly the kind of support package that stays relevant almost everywhere: a full-team revive, a cleanse, Block Debuffs, strong defensive support, and excellent turn-cycling value. On top of that, she is one of the first champions to introduce Fervor, which gives allies extra damage while helping them take less in return.

&nbsp;

That alone would already make her a premium summon target, but the bigger point is reliability. Damage dealers come and go depending on the meta. High-end support champions with revive, protection, cleansing, and long-term PvE value do not. If your account is missing that kind of stabilizer, Pallas is the safest and strongest pull on the board this week.

&nbsp;

<h2>Best Arena Pickup: Lord Entertainer Fabian</h2> 

If your focus is Arena, then Lord Entertainer Fabian has a real case for the number one spot. He is one of the most oppressive control champions in the game thanks to his True Fear pressure, cooldown disruption, buff control, and the way his passive punishes enemies for trying to play through him. In PvP, that sort of control can decide fights before they really start.

&nbsp;

The catch is simple: Fabian is more specialized than Pallas. He is incredible if Arena is your priority or if your account is already developed enough to capitalize on top-end PvP control. But if you are looking for broader value across progression, bosses, and general account improvement, Pallas is still the easier recommendation.

&nbsp;

<h2>Strongest Void Consideration: Senna Amberheart</h2> 

On the Void side, Senna Amberheart is the standout. She is one of the best PvE support champions in the game, especially in long-form content where healing, revive utility, speed control, and sustained team cycling all matter. Chimera, Demon Lord Clan Boss, Grim Forest boss encounters, and a wide range of difficult PvE fights all suit her extremely well.

&nbsp;

That said, Void Shards are expensive, scarce, and usually the hardest currency to justify spending on a Progressive Chance event. So while Senna is absolutely a top-tier champion, whether she is “worth it” depends more on your shard economy than on her quality. She is worth targeting only if you are already prepared to chase a premium Void and you are comfortable with the risk.

&nbsp;

<h2>Very Good, But More Situational</h2> 

Prince Kymar is still one of the most valuable utility Legendaries in Raid thanks to his cooldown reset and speed-run potential. For fast dungeon farming and certain Arena setups, he remains a monster. The reason he is not at the very top this week is that his value is incredibly account-dependent. Some rosters need him desperately. Others already have their reset options or simply are not at the stage where his value is fully unlocked.

&nbsp;

Osgrun the Defiler is another strong option. He brings ally attack utility, cooldown pressure on enemies, buff removal, turn meter support, and good Arena relevance. He is a very real target if you want a champion who can slot into both PvP and PvE teams, but he is not quite as universally account-changing as the very top names.

&nbsp;

Kebaron the Underflame also deserves respect. He is one of the more exciting offensive options from the newer pool, with strong damage, HP Burn synergy, and good interaction around Deathbrand-style pressure. He looks excellent, and early opinions on him are high. Still, if you are choosing strictly between him and Glorious Pallas for account value, the support champion wins.

&nbsp;

<h2>Solid Champions, But Not the Headliners</h2> 

There are other useful names in this rotation, but they are harder to recommend as top-priority targets. Lady Noelle, Togron the Conjoined, Noldua the Gloaming, Arnorn the Shining, Thor Faehammer, Maria, and even Hegemon all have roles, and some of them are genuinely strong. The problem is that most players are not pulling this week for “good” or “fun.” They are pulling for account-defining value.

&nbsp;

That is why the list narrows fast. If you are trying to be efficient, this is not a week to spread your focus across too many names. Pick the one that solves the biggest problem on your account and leave the rest alone.

&nbsp;

<h2>Final Ranking for This Week</h2> 

Tier 1 – Best Value: Glorious Pallas, Lord Entertainer Fabian, Senna Amberheart 

Tier 2 – Excellent Depending on Account: Prince Kymar, Osgrun the Defiler, Kebaron the Underflame 

Tier 3 – Good, But Lower Priority for Most Players: Lady Noelle, Togron the Conjoined, Noldua the Gloaming, Arnorn the Shining, Thor Faehammer, Maria, Hegemon

&nbsp;

<h2>Conclusion</h2> 

If you want the blunt version, Glorious Pallas is the best all-around target, Lord Entertainer Fabian is the best Arena-first target, and Senna Amberheart is the premium Void prize if you are willing to spend those shards. Everybody else falls behind that first group unless your account has a very specific need.

&nbsp;

That is what makes this week pretty straightforward. There are good champions here, but only a few are truly worth planning around. In a Progressive Chance event, that distinction matters more than ever.

Raid Shadow Legends summons ranked for April 7 and April 8, with the best targets from Glorious Pallas and Fabian to Senna, Prince Kymar, and more.
