Masteries can make or break a champion in RAID: Shadow Legends - especially when you get to the bottom row, the Tier 6 masteries. These powerful final picks can elevate your builds, fine-tune your role synergy, and push your team to new heights. But which ones are worth it? In this RAID 101 weekend guide, we’re diving deep into each Tier 6 mastery, explaining what they do, how they work, and when to pick them.

Tier 6 Masteries: Offense Tree

Flawless Execution

What it does: +20% Crit Damage.
Best for: Champions that ignore 100% of enemy defense like *Royal Huntsman* or *Mortu-Macaab*.
Why: If you’re already cutting through defense, more raw damage is the best option.

Giant Slayer

What it does: 30% chance to deal bonus damage per hit (3% vs bosses).
Best for: Champions with 3+ hits on their A1 (like *Fu-Shan*).
Why: Each hit rolls its own Giant Slayer chance, making it deadly with multi-hitters in PvE.

Warmaster

What it does: 60% chance to deal bonus damage per skill (4% vs bosses).
Best for: Supports, revivers, or any champion used in PvE boss content.
Why: Scales better on 1–2 hit abilities and doesn’t require multi-hit A1s.

Helmsmasher

What it does: 50% chance to ignore 25% of enemy defense.
Best for: Arena nukers.
Why: Ignoring defense is the strongest way to boost damage in PvP. Ideal for high-end nukers.

Tier 6 Masteries: Support Tree

Eagle-Eye

What it does: +50 Accuracy.
Best for: Arena control champs and high-accuracy PvE builds.
Why: Essential for champions who rely on debuffs, especially in high-end PvP where 800–900 accuracy is required.

Oppressor

What it does: Increases turn meter fill rate by 2.5% per active debuff (up to 10%).
Best for: Debuff-heavy champions in wave content.
Why: Niche and poorly explained by Plarium; rarely optimal over alternatives.

Timely Intervention

What it does: +20% Turn Meter when an ally drops below 25% HP.
Best for: Revivers and emergency healers like Siphi the Lost Bride.
Why: Proactive turn cycling lets your reviver act fast when you need them most.

Elixir of Life

What it does: +3,000 HP.
Best for: HP-based healers in shield/bolster sets.
Why: Extremely niche—generally better off with other support or tank options.

Tier 6 Masteries: Defense Tree

Unshakable


What it does: +50 Resistance.
Best for: Arena tanks or anti-debuff champions.
Why: Like Eagle-Eye, this is PvP-focused—solid for high-resist builds.

Fearsome Presence

What it does: +5% chance to land crowd control debuffs (stun, provoke, fear, etc.).
Best for: Champions in StunProvoke, or Sheep sets.
Why: Especially effective in wave content when paired with Harvest Despair.

Bulwark

What it does: Redirects 5% of team damage to this champion.
Best for: Shield champions or those with Ally Protection or Block Damage.
Why: Acts like a mini Guardian Set - ideal for tanky supports like Ursuga.

Selfless Defender

What it does: Redirects 20% of first-hit damage each round.
Best for: Synergizes with Bulwark for ultra-tanks.
Why: Great for damage mitigation, especially in arena or high-pressure PvE waves.

Iron Skin

What it does: +200 Defense.
Best for: Almost no one.
Why: Too weak to justify over other tank or damage-based options.

Examples in Action

Curran the Harvester (Arena Control)

Chosen Mastery: Eagle-Eye
Why: He’s designed for Arena—sleep debuffs, cooldown manipulation, and turn meter disruption. Needs tons of accuracy to land everything effectively.

Siphi the Lost Bride (Reviver)

Chosen Mastery: Timely Intervention
Why: Arena-focused reviver. Gets a quick turn when an ally drops low, giving her a chance to clutch revive or heal.

Sicia Flametongue or Stun-Set Champs

Chosen Masteries: Fearsome Presence + Harvest Despair
Why: Increases control consistency and heals the team through leech debuffs. Ideal combo for wave-clearing builds.

Final Thoughts

Tier 6 masteries aren’t just end-of-tree fluff—they’re the cherry on top of your champion build. Whether you’re crushing PvE bosses with Warmaster, disrupting Arena teams with Eagle-Eye, or CC-locking waves with Fearsome Presence, your choice here should reflect your champion’s role and your end goal.

When in doubt, for PvE:

3+ A1 hits? → Giant Slayer
1–2 hits or Support? → Warmaster
Need accuracy? → Eagle-Eye
Need resistance? → Unshakable
