<a href="https://youtu.be/7hEqOVOJfGU" target="_blank">Thor Faehammer</a>, the legendary Barbarian attack champion in<a href="https://www.raidshadowlegends.com" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"> RAID: Shadow Legends</a>, has quickly earned a reputation as one of the most powerful nukers in the game. With a design inspired by the Norse god Thor, he looks every bit as fierce as his in-game performance. Whether you’re battling through Campaign, dominating Arena, or conquering Hydra Clan Boss, Thor Faehammer can be a game-changer if built correctly. In this guide, we’ll break down Thor Faehammer’s best builds, gear, masteries, blessings, and where he excels in various content. <a href="https://youtu.be/7hEqOVOJfGU" target="_blank"><img src="https://api.flotiq.com/image/0x0/_media-bbd44d0a-111b-4931-8aa7-1c0443158535.PNG" title="Thor Faehammer" alt="Thor Faehammer" style="width: 800px; height: 469px; display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"></a> Thor Faehammer’s Skills Breakdown A1: Wrath of Mjolnir Attacks 1 enemy twice with a 20% chance of repeating the attack. Each hit reduces the target's Turn Meter by 10%. Best Use: This skill is especially effective in areas like Dark Fae, where Turn Meter control is crucial. With the ability to repeat his attacks, Thor can keep enemies at bay while ramping up his Thunder counter. A2: Fulminous Ricochet (AOE) Attacks all enemies after the first selected target, with each hit increasing damage by 25%, stacking up to 100%. The skill also ignores Block Damage and Unkillable buffs. Best Use: This is Thor’s signature nuke skill, dealing massive damage across multiple enemies and ignoring some of the most annoying buffs like Block Damage and Unkillable. It's particularly useful in the Arena, where champions like Leorius or Skullcrown often rely on these buffs for survival. A3: Hammer of Heaven (AOE) Attacks all enemies while buffing himself with a 50% Increase ATK and a 30% Increase C.DMG for 2 turns. Additionally, Thor has a 75% chance to decrease enemy RES by 10% (stacks up to 50%) and place a 30% Decrease SPD debuff on all enemies for 2 turns. Best Use: Hammer of Heaven makes Thor a powerhouse in Hydra, Doom Tower, and even Arena. The self-buffs ensure that this attack hits incredibly hard, and the debuffs make it easier for your team to land their debuffs. Passive: Sky Rupture - Every time Thor deals damage, he gains a Thunder stack (up to 10), increasing his damage by 3% per stack (up to 30%). Once he reaches 10 stacks, he attacks all enemies and places a Stun debuff for 1 turn. After the attack, the Thunder counter resets to 0. - Best Use: This passive stacks consistent damage while adding crowd control through the AoE stun when his Thunder counter hits 10. Aura Increases Ally ATK in all Battles by 30%. Best Use: A solid all-around aura, useful in any battle scenario. Best Build for Thor Faehammer Gear Recommendations Thor is a high-damage champion, and he shines with sets that boost his damage output or allow him to ignore enemy defenses. Here are the top gear sets for Thor: Merciless Set Prioritizing Ignore DEF, this set is ideal if you want Thor to deal maximum damage in high-end content like Hydra or Arena. Lethal Set Another great set for ignoring defense while boosting his critical hit stats. Slayer Set If you have the gear, a 9-piece Slayer set is perfect for boosting Thor’s AoE damage capabilities. Alternative Gear Combinations Lethal + Merciless/Cruel If you can’t gather a full set of Slayer or Merciless, pairing Lethal with Cruel or Merciless is also effective. It maintains high damage output by ignoring defense and boosting crit stats. Example Gear Setup Banner: Equipped with an accuracy banner to help land debuffs from Thor’s A3 (Hammer of Heaven). Amulet: Focus on critical damage for massive damage increases, especially when paired with the AOE skills. Boots: Attack percentage with speed is ideal for increasing damage while ensuring Thor has enough speed to execute his skills. Attack percentage on boots helps maximize Thor’s damage while still keeping him fast enough for key turns. Stats to Prioritize Attack%: Thor’s damage scales off ATK, so boosting his attack stats is key. Look for ATK% on your gauntlets, chest, and boots where possible. Critical Rate and Critical Damage: Max out his crit rate to ensure consistent damage. Pair that with high critical damage for devastating hits. Speed: While attack is a priority, don’t neglect speed. Thor needs to go fast enough to stack his Thunder counters and deliver his AoE attacks before the enemy team gets a chance. Accuracy: This is important to land his debuffs from his A3. In the example build, Thor had 240 accuracy, which was slightly lower than desired but still functional. Thor Faehammer’s Masteries Thor’s masteries should focus on maximizing his damage while giving him some utility in longer fights. Here's an optimal setup: Offense Tree Helm Smasher:&nbsp;We recommend Helm Smasher as a choice for Thor, which increases his chances of ignoring enemy defenses in PvP scenarios. This is a great choice if you plan to use Thor primarily in Arena, as it enhances his already strong AOE skills.Warmaster: If you're focusing more on PvE content like Clan Boss or Hydra, Warmaster is another excellent mastery for boosting Thor's damage. This would be the preferred option for sustained battles. Support Tree Pinpoint Accuracy: Increases Thor's accuracy, which is useful for landing his debuffs in PvE content. Cycle of Magic: Helps reduce cooldowns and gives Thor more opportunities to use his heavy-hitting skills. We prefer Warmaster for PvE content. The mastery build can be flexible depending on where you intend to use Thor more frequently. Thor Faehammer’s <a href="https://raidhq.gg/raid/blessing" target="_blank">Blessings</a> Blessings provide significant stat boosts or utility depending on the one chosen. For Thor Faehammer, the recommended blessing is: Nature’s Wrath We believe that Nature’s Wrath is the best blessing for Thor. This blessing increases Thor’s overall damage and synergizes well with his AoE-heavy kit. It’s particularly effective in PvE content like Hydra Clan Boss and other prolonged battles where his damage output can stack significantly over time. Thor Faehammer’s Lore Wielder of the legendary hammer, Mjolnir, Thor is as blunt and unyielding as the weapon he proudly bears. Before Asgard hid itself from the prying eyes of mortals, Thor was revered by the people of Frostheim. Huscarls sought to follow his example in his devotion to duty and unflinching loyalty to his lord and people. Warriors honed their bodies and practiced their battle-drills daily to emulate Thor’s incredible strength and formidable endurance. Fulminancers and stormcasters held him as their patron for his mastery of thunder and lightning. The hammer became ingrained in Frostheim culture as a symbol of str... The tales of Thor’s countless great deeds were told all over Frostheim. One favorite told of how he tied the terrible Demon-serpent, Jorgunmundr, into an unsolvable knot and cast it into the freezing ocean to drown. Another was the time when he slew a dozen Dragonkin assassins who reached Odin’s throne room disguised as diplomats – those he did not crush into scaled paste with Mjolnir, he throttled with his bare hands. Thor’s greatest victory became known as the Jotunn-breaking. The Rimetitans, a powerful Jotunn clan, expanded from their domains in the Razor-fjords, in the northeast Redspikes, destroying villages, stealing livestock, and butchering people. Magically attuned to the region’s wintry climes, the Jotunn’s skin was blue and hard as frozen rock, their hair icicles and hoarfrost. They bore jagged shields and weapons of solid mountain rock, which they carved with their bare teeth. Alone, Thor met hundreds of Rimetitans atop the Storokk Glacier as the sun set. War cries, the cracking of rock, and bellows of pain were heard fifty leagues away, and in numerous towns, the ‘night was made day’ by the flashing of countless lightning bolts. It was over by sunrise. Trackers climbed to the glacier's top and peered over the edge. The Storokk’s surface was littered with the body parts of pulverized Jotunn and smeared with their blood. Body parts charred by lightning were so intermingled with the gore there was no telling how many Jotunn there had been. Thor was nowhere to be seen. When he returned to Asgard, he carried on his back the severed head of the Rimetitans’ chieftain, his forehead caved in where Mjolnir had struck it. The Rimetitans all but disappeared from history. It was some time after this battle, early in the Age of Treachery, that Thor met Loki, a wandering Fae who had come to Asgard. The two were polar opposites, Loki irreverent and sly, Thor serious and true. Both realized they had a love of adventuring across wild Teleria. Loki plied Thor with questions about the Redspikes, and Thor was fascinated by Loki’s tales of the jungles of Torcelin Istriv and the shifting dunes of the Krokhan Desert. The two spent years adventuring together. Thor showed Loki every inch of the Redspikes; he could name every peak, river, ridge, and pass. They traveled into wider Anhelt, including the Mountains of Despair, of which Thor knew little less than his own land. Together they beheld wonders, escaped monsters, tumbled down scree slopes, and swam through raging torrents. He was always disappointed, however, that Loki never showed him anything from his amazing tales. They never traveled to distant Peltas to see the arenas of Velyzar or the city-sized marshes of the Sorrowlakes. Long after Loki had disappeared without a word, upsetting Thor who trusted his friend had good reason, Freyja the Golden spoke of visions connected to the elusive Fae. Thor was at first happy – perhaps his friend was returning. But as she continued, Freyja said she saw signs connecting the Trickster with a plot to free the Fire Knight and thaw the Waters of Life. Thor felt betrayed. Was Loki using everything he taught him about the nature of ice and snow, of the dangers of mountains and how to survive them, in a quest to do the unthinkable? Ultimately, the answer mattered not. Odin silently ordered Thor to apprehend Loki and bring him to Asgard. It almost certainly meant fighting his old friend, though he hoped it would not come to that. One question did occur to him – what if Loki was doing this for good? What if Freyja misunderstood or missed some crucial detail? The only way to know was to find Loki… but the Fae was a clever being. He was not above lying, a skill he could easily use for ill. Thor hoped his friendship with Loki would see all this settled. If he had to bring Mjolnir to bear he would, but the thought of that was as dark as the clouds above as he departed Asgard. Final Thoughts: Is Thor Faehammer Worth It? If you’re lucky enough to have pulled Thor Faehammer or completed his Fusion event, congratulations! Thor is an incredibly versatile and powerful champion with immense damage potential in both PvE and PvP. Whether you’re looking for a high-damage dealer for your Hydra team, a fast campaign farmer, or an Arena nuker, Thor can fill those roles with ease. His utility, especially his ability to ignore Unkillable and Block Damage, makes him a fantastic counter to some of the most common defensive strategies in the game. Build him with high Attack, Crit Rate, Crit Damage, and enough Speed and Accuracy, and Thor will become a force to be reckoned with on your account.

Thor Faehammer Guide: Best Builds and Masteries (He's a Mons...

Thor Faehammer Guide: Best Builds and Masteries (He's a Monster!)

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.

&nbsp;

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.

Edward Kenway Build Guide | Best Gear, Masteries & Blessings

The Raid 11.40 patch notes are officially here, and while some of the quality-of-life additions were already teased, the full update still managed to raise a few eyebrows. Between the new Platinum and Diamond Raid Cards, a major Cruetraxa buff, permanent Super Raids in Potion Keeps, and a long list of bug fixes, this update has more going on than it first appeared.

&nbsp;

<a href="https://youtu.be/ZGWMuTfDvb8" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"><img src="https://img.youtube.com/vi/ZGWMuTfDvb8/maxresdefault.jpg" alt="OFFICIAL PATCH NOTES: Some Raised an Eyebrow.."></a>



&nbsp;

For many players, the headline change will be the expanded <a href="https://www.raidshadowlegends.com" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Raid</a> subscription system. Plarium has added two new monthly options above the older card tiers, and both are clearly aimed at players who still spend a lot of time in Campaign and who want more account automation. That is where the first real debate starts, because some of the new convenience features are useful, but they are also locked behind another paywall.

&nbsp;

<h2>New Raid Card Tiers in 11.40</h2> 

Platinum Raid Card The new Platinum Raid Card gives players 20% extra XP in Campaign, 30% extra Silver from Campaign battles, 100 extra Multi-Battles, doubled XP per hour in the Sparring Pit, and automatic leveling in the Sparring Pit. That last feature is easily one of the most noticeable additions in the entire patch, because it removes some of the repetitive babysitting from champion leveling. The catch is obvious though: once a champion reaches max level, you still have to swap them out manually.

&nbsp;

Diamond Raid Card The Diamond Raid Card includes everything from Platinum, but adds 140 extra Multi-Battles, 1 Legendary Skill Tome per month, and 1 monthly chest with random rewards. Those chest rewards can range from Rank 5 Chickens and Chaos Ore to Legendary Tomes, a Mythical Skill Tome, Void Shards, or Primal Shards. On paper, that sounds decent. In practice, the random chest is still a gamble, and that is likely why this part of the patch immediately got mixed reactions from the community.

&nbsp;

For early-game and some mid-game accounts, these cards can still offer real value, especially if Campaign farming is part of the daily routine. For late-game accounts, the value becomes much more situational. If you are already relying mostly on brews, not pushing Campaign often, and not desperate for more Multi-Battles, then the new subscription tiers look more like optional convenience than must-have progression tools.

&nbsp;

<h2>Best Quality-of-Life Changes in the Patch</h2> 

Improved Minotaur Scroll Distribution One of the most useful updates in 11.40 is the change to Mastery Scroll distribution. Before this patch, any extra scrolls earned by a champion who had already maxed that scroll tier were simply wasted. Now, those surplus scrolls can transfer to another champion from the same run, as long as that champion participated in the battle and still needs that specific type of scroll. That is a clean fix to an old annoyance and makes Minotaur farming a bit less wasteful.

&nbsp;

Permanent Super Raids in Potion Keeps This one is straightforward and overdue. Potion Keep farming is now permanently faster thanks to Super Raids being enabled there. It is not flashy, but it is a welcome time-saver for anyone still building champions regularly or catching up on ascensions.

&nbsp;

Live Arena Schedule Expansion Plarium has also expanded the Live Arena schedule. Each daily window is now longer, and the updated UTC slots are 00:00–04:00, 06:00–10:00, 12:00–16:00, and 18:00–22:00. That gives players more flexibility to fit Live Arena into their day, which is a sensible improvement even if some players preferred the tighter old schedule.

&nbsp;

<h2>Cruetraxa Is the Big Winner of 11.40</h2> 

The biggest balance story in this patch is clearly Cruetraxa. Her Skill 1 now also ignores [Block Damage], her Skill 2 cooldown has been reduced from 4 turns to 3, and that same skill now strips all buffs before attacking, places [Weaken], ignores 25% DEF, and applies [Block Revive] if it gets the kill. On top of that, her passive now grants a protected [Revive On Death] and gives her a full Turn Meter refill plus [Increase ATK] when she revives through it.

&nbsp;

That is a serious upgrade, especially for Arena. The combination of stronger buff control, more reliable kill pressure, and better self-revival makes her look far more dangerous than before. She was already a champion with upside, but these changes push her much closer to true meta relevance. If you already had Cruetraxa sitting in the vault or half-built, this patch is a good reason to take another look.

&nbsp;

The other rebalance target, The Incarnate, also improved. The update strengthens the champion’s provoke chance, expands the counterattack conditions, upgrades buff removal, improves shielding, and adds stronger Arbiter synergy. That should make the champion more usable, but the impact still looks far smaller than what Cruetraxa gained from this rebalance cycle.

&nbsp;

<h2>Most Important Bug Fixes in the Patch</h2> 

The 11.40 patch also came with a long list of fixes, and a few of them matter more than the rest.

&nbsp;

Pelops the Victor One of Pelops’ selling points is his interaction with [Petrification], so it was a real problem that he could still be hit by reflected Petrification despite supposed immunity. That has now been fixed, which is important because it restores one of the champion’s defining mechanics instead of leaving him undermined by a bug.

&nbsp;

Sanguine Maria Her passive was failing to place [True Fear] on all opponents after she revived. That is not a cosmetic bug. That is a core kit problem, and fixing it should make her much more consistent in the situations where players bring her for that disruptive revive pressure.

&nbsp;

Solanar the Gleaming Solanar was incorrectly immune to [Block Revive] when Blazing Force was not on cooldown. That bug has now been removed. In plain terms, this is not a direct nerf, but it does stop him from benefiting from an unintended advantage.

&nbsp;

Arne the White Several fixes hit Arne the White, including issues around his Song of Steel text and the second hit tied to [Deathbrand]. Players using him in PvP and PvE should now see the skill behave much more consistently with its intended design.

&nbsp;

Gronjarr and other edge-case fixes A few of the remaining fixes are smaller but still worth noting. Gronjarr’s passive was incorrectly putting [HP Burn] on himself instead of the attacker, Clan members now properly show how long they have been offline, and a bug that let players craft Relics in the Forge with fewer than 100 materials was also corrected. That last one stands out because the official notes did not explain how far the bug went, which naturally leaves players wondering how much it may have affected relic progression.

&nbsp;

<h2>Promo Code Mentioned With the Update</h2> 

Alongside the patch discussion, the promo code MIDGAMEJOKE was highlighted as a bonus freebie for players, including a 5-Star Chicken. As always with Raid promo codes, claim it quickly if it is still active on your account.

&nbsp;

<h2>Final Thoughts on RAID 11.40</h2> 

Patch 11.40 is a mixed update, but not an empty one. The best parts are the practical ones: better scroll distribution, permanent Super Raids in Potion Keeps, longer Live Arena windows, and meaningful bug fixes for champions who were not working properly. The most controversial parts are easy to spot too, namely the extra monetization around the new Raid Cards and the lack of clarity around certain fixes like the Relic materials issue.

&nbsp;

Still, if there is one clear gameplay winner from this patch, it is Cruetraxa. Her rebalance looks strong enough to change how many players view the champion entirely. Add in the Pelops and Sanguine Maria fixes, and this update ends up being more important for actual gameplay than the first summary suggested.

RAID 11.40 patch notes bring Kraxa buffs, new Raid Card tiers, permanent Super Raids in Potion Keeps, Live Arena schedule changes, and several important bug fixes.
