Alternative Blessing for PvP: Polymorph Reason: While Riho Bonespear is primarily a PvE champion, Polymorph can be valuable in PvP to disrupt enemy strategies.

The protected Smite debuff adds another layer of damage output and control to her kit, enhancing her overall effectiveness in various game modes.

Doom Tower: Effective against bosses like Frost Spider, thanks to her burn and cleanse abilities. Arena: While not a top-tier choice, she can fill dual roles of healer and debuffer in mid-tier teams. Her ability to place multiple debuffs and cleanse allies makes her a valuable asset in most team compositions. Riho Bonespear Lore After the fall of the Mikage Autocracy, a new era began for the Shadowkin. Forever tainted by their subjugation by Demonspawn, many of the denizens of Yakai sought to resurrect their lost culture, and begin the process of restoring peace, harmony, and justice to their wayward society. In the establishment of the War Divinity, a new religious order born from the Church of Lumaya and dedicated to the violent resistance of Siroth, there existed a vehicle for the Shadowkin to publicly demonstrate their contrition and penance. After the dismantling of the pirate fleets that the Mikage had unleashed upon Teleria’s seas for years, concerted efforts were made to restore trade with neighbors beyond the Skyiron Dominion. Though it was painful, many of the most violent and unpredictable leaders who had led the rebellion against the Mikage, and helped bring down the terrible regime, were killed or exiled to make it clear that a new era of stability was being ushered in. The cumulative effect of this regeneration is that the Shadowkin began to restore themselves in the eyes of the wider world, and were on the path to redemption. That was not something that all Shadowkin were seeking, however. From the beginning of her life, Riho Bonespear was taught how to destroy. Sired by a Mikage Demonspawn general, and thereafter raised in its inner circle, she was one of their most potent tools in the violent oppression of the Yakai people. Bent, beaten, and broken into a creature of pure contempt and malice, her early life was spent being honed into an agent of chaos. Her ferocity and skill with a spear, coupled with her deft powers of manipulation and persuasion, made her an unforgiving adversary. Forever kept in the darkness and shadows, and specializing in destroying communities from within, Riho was tasked with infiltrating the nascent rebellion and ensuring its collapse no matter the cost. She knew the rebels would suspect her, given her Demonic visage, and so when she found a resistance cell to infiltrate, she lied to them, spinning a tale of hate and anguish to convince them she wished the Mikage to fall. This was enough to persuade them not to execute her, and she proved herself to them in numerous raids against the Mikage. Soon, she was accepted into the rebellion’s leadership and there set about undermining and eroding the core pillars of their movement. Though she did much to scupper and delay the rebels’ plans, in the end she could not prevent the Mikage’s eventual demise. Knowing that her true identity could be at risk, and knowing what fate awaited her if it was discovered, Riho fled the rebellion, taking only her spear with her, hellbent on forging a path of devastation through Yakai. Left without a purpose, and utterly alone in the world, Riho continues to do what she has always done: destroy. Out in the wilds, she roams from coast to coast, killing as many rebels and Yakai civilians as she can in a bid to punish those who ended the order she had invested her life into. Though that rage is primarily directed toward the rebellion, she shows no mercy to any Demonspawn or Mikage, as in her view it was their weakness that led to their defeat. But as she wanders and continues to kill with abandon, questions about her place in the world have fermented in her imposingly horned head. Why had she supported the Mikage? If their rule was necessary, why had they fallen? Where will she go now, if she has no purpose left in Yakai? As she wrestles with these difficult questions, she cannot shake the feeling that somehow spending all that time within the rebellion has somehow poisoned her mind, that she has let their ideals of ‘freedom’ and ‘liberty’ corrupt what she once knew. Riho hasn’t failed to notice that the more she kills, the more she delivers vengeance to those who wronged her, the louder these questions seem to grow. Though she does not know it yet, Riho Bonespear will soon reach a crossroads. The path she is on, one of death and destruction onto which she was placed as a child, is not granting her the satisfaction she seeks. The questions that plague her conscience will not quiet, and the rage that drives her will is starting to wane. Should she have the strength to push beyond what she was told about the order of the world, to see past the ideology of hate, power, and subjugation in which she was raised, she may yet find a purpose far greater than the one she had in the Mikage Autocracy. For the first time in her life, Riho’s future is in her own hands. Conclusion Riho Bonespear is an exceptional support champion, offering unparalleled utility and versatility. Whether you're tackling endgame content or climbing the arena ranks, Riho's comprehensive skill set makes her a worthy addition to any team. If you're fortunate enough to summon her, congratulations—you’ve secured one of Raid: Shadow Legends' premier champions.

If you’re wondering how to max champions in&nbsp;RAID: Shadow Legends without burning out your energy and resources, you’re not alone. Whether you're brand new or returning, the process can feel overwhelming at first — with all the talk of "food," "chickens," "brews," and ranking up. This guide breaks down the&nbsp;entire 6-star process step-by-step — from leveling up, to farming XP, to choosing the right champions for sacrifice — so you can rank smarter, not harder. What Does It Mean to Max Out a Champion? In RAID, maxing a champion means two things: - Reaching&nbsp;Rank 6 (six stars) - Hitting&nbsp;Level 60, the highest level possible To get there, a champion must be leveled to the max of their current rank, then ranked up by sacrificing other champions (aka&nbsp;food) or chickens of the same rank. Understanding Champion Ranks and Levels Each champion starts with a specific star rank depending on their rarity: -&nbsp;Common – Rank 1 -&nbsp;Uncommon – Rank 2 -&nbsp;Rare – Rank 3 -&nbsp;Epic – Rank 4 -&nbsp;Legendary – Rank 5 -&nbsp;Mythical&nbsp;– Rank 6 Each rank has a level cap: - 1-star = Level 10 - 2-star = Level 20 - 3-star = Level 30 - 4-star = Level 40 - 5-star = Level 50 - 6-star = Level 60 You can’t go beyond the level cap of your current rank until you rank the champion up. What Is “Food” in RAID? “Food” is a slang term for disposable champions used to upgrade other champions’ rank. Typically, these are: - Commons and uncommons pulled from mystery shards - Unwanted rares and epics - Champions specifically leveled just for sacrifice Food must be fully leveled before they can be used to rank up another champion. For example, to rank up a 3-star champion, you’ll need three max-level 3-star champs (or chickens) to sacrifice. The Basic 6-Star Loop To summarize: 1. Pull mystery shards to get commons/uncommons (your food) 2. Level them in campaign or with brews 3. Use maxed food to rank up a core champion 4. Repeat until that champion is 6-star and Level 60 You’ll repeat this loop dozens of times throughout your RAID journey — so let’s optimize every step. Where to Farm Experience Fast 📍 Best XP Farm Location: Campaign Stage 12-3 If you're looking to level food quickly,&nbsp;campaign farming is the way to go — especially&nbsp;Stage 3 of each chapter. Why Stage 3? - The&nbsp;shield drops sell for more silver - It’s efficient for both silver and XP - Easily accessible at every difficulty tier If you want slightly more XP and don’t care about silver,&nbsp;Stage 6 is also an option — but most players prefer Stage 3 for better long-term silver gain. Choosing a Campaign Farmer Your&nbsp;campaign farmer&nbsp;is the damage-dealer who clears the wave solo while carrying three food champions. Ideal traits include: - AoE attacks on A1 and/or A2 - Fast animations - High damage scaling 🔥 Good Campaign Farmers: -&nbsp;Kael (Starter Champion) -&nbsp;Saurus (Farmable from Chapter 10) -&nbsp;Elhain (Starter Champion) -&nbsp;Bellower (Uncommon but strong) Stick your farmer in the&nbsp;lead position, and fill the other three with food champs. This way, XP is split efficiently: 25% per food champ, with only 25% “wasted” on your maxed-out farmer. Using XP Boosts (Don’t Skip This) 💡 Why XP Boosts Matter XP Boosts double your campaign XP — they’re essential for farming: - Found in&nbsp;events,&nbsp;daily login rewards,&nbsp;quests, and&nbsp;tournaments - Don’t waste energy farming campaign without one active - 1-day and 3-day XP boosts can also be bought for gems, but aren’t cheap (use sparingly) Always activate an XP Boost&nbsp;before multi-battling your food teams. It literally cuts your grind time in half. Brews: When and How to Use Them Brews&nbsp;are a fast-track to level low-rank food champions: - Matching affinity = more XP (e.g., Magic brew for a Magic champ) - Great for hitting Level 10 on 1-stars instantly - Don’t overuse them on higher-rank champions unless you’re in a rush A solid strategy is to use&nbsp;one brew on a 1-star food champion, then finish leveling in campaign or Sparring Pit. The Sparring Pit: Passive Progress While You Wait 💤 Level Champs While You Sleep The&nbsp;Sparring Pit&nbsp;gives free, passive XP over time. It’s one of the most underused tools in RAID. Best Practices: - Unlock all 5 slots (300 gems per unlock) - Don’t upgrade the slots (XP gain is slow regardless) - Fill all slots with champions of the&nbsp;same rank and level - After 7–10 days, you’ll have 5 fully leveled food champions This is a&nbsp;perfect system for prepping your 5-star food for 6-star upgrades — no energy cost, no micromanaging. When to Use Chickens Chickens&nbsp;are premium items that act as pre-leveled food: - Save them for&nbsp;real champions, not disposable food - Earned through events, promo codes, quests, and tournaments - Using chickens on actual champions (especially 5-star and 6-star upgrades) speeds things up dramatically Dungeon Farming + XP: Two Birds, One Stone You can level champions&nbsp;while farming gear&nbsp;in dungeons: - If your dungeon team can survive with 4 instead of 5 champs, add a food champion - Great for passive leveling during overnight farming - Use auto-battle + Super Raids for maximum efficiency XP gain is slower than campaign, but it’s free progress if you're already farming gear anyway. Avoiding Wasted Energy Be careful with&nbsp;multi-battle settings. If all your champions hit max level and you're still running battles, you're wasting energy. ✅&nbsp;Uncheck:&nbsp;“Continue Multi-Battle even when all Champions hit max level” This ensures you're not burning energy on fully leveled champs that can’t rank up yet. Final Tips to Speed Up the 6-Star Process - Always farm campaign with&nbsp;four champions for best XP split - Use&nbsp;matching affinity brews for max XP gain - Keep your&nbsp;Sparring Pit full at all times - Use&nbsp;mystery shards to generate endless food - Only use&nbsp;chickens on real champions, not food - Use&nbsp;XP Boosts every time you’re farming campaign - Target&nbsp;Stage 12-3 for best campaign returns - Look for chances to&nbsp;farm food during dungeon runs Conclusion Maxing out champions to 6-stars is one of the most repetitive but rewarding loops in RAID. Once you master the art of food farming, XP optimization, and using your resources wisely, the process becomes second nature. With these tips, you’ll be leveling faster, spending smarter, and 6-starring champions without running out of energy or patience.

Top 5 Must-Build Champions for New Players in RAID: Shadow Legends (2025 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;
