10 Champions That Changed Our Raid Shadow Legends Accounts
Every player has those game-changing pulls that completely reshape their Raid journey. Some may be powerhouses to this day, while others have been power crept into the vault — but they all made a major impact when we needed them most. Let’s go down memory lane with ten champions who transformed our accounts at pivotal moments.
Pulling Coldheart for the first time was like unlocking cheat codes. That Heartseeker was unmatched for damage and turn meter control, instantly carrying accounts through Fire Knight, Spider, and Faction Wars. Even now, in specialized content like Cursed City or Secret Rooms, she still finds her place. One of the few rares still worth 60’ing even in 2025.
Back when unkillable teams weren’t the norm, Altan was the defensive backbone. His A1 decrease attack and A2 increased defense made him a mainstay for Clan Boss survival. He even made it into tanky arena builds. Power creep hit him hard, and he’s begging for a buff, but the impact he had on early progression? Unmatched at the time.
Before BatEater comps were meta, Seeker was already pulling double duty: an arena engine with his turn meter boost and provoke, and a Clan Boss lynchpin with his extra turn cycling. Still one of the best turn meter boosters in the entire game thanks to the two-turn cooldown and versatile passive.
Rotos was the stuff of nightmares. He solo’d arena teams post-fusion, laughing in the face of revive comps with his block revive nukes and infinite turn chains. Even after nerfs, he’s carved a new role in Live Arena and shines with the right setup. Still fun. Still terrifying.
No champ has had more universal impact for free than Gnut. He’s in Hydra, Doom Tower, Fire Knight, and Cursed City… everywhere. That triple-hit freeze A1 and the absurd Blessed Bash damage made him an instant slot-in for dozens of endgame teams. Pulling a dupe? Pure win.
Nothing changed Clan Boss like finally landing Maneater #2. Before that, players would pray every book landed on the A3. Double Maneater = full auto, full damage, full relief. Unkillable comps became accessible, efficient, and strong. A true turning point in account progression.
She might not be flashy like some mythicals, but Lady Mikage is everywhere: Chimera, Hydra, Fire Knight, Doom Tower. Her ally attack, crowd control, and damage manipulation make her one of the most versatile mythicals in the game. When you’re building your best teams, chances are she’s right there, quietly doing the heavy lifting
A hidden gem from the Lizardmen faction, Legate Teox brings explosive AOE damage, extra turns, and block revive. For players with the right Lizardmen setup, he becomes a nightmare in Arena and a powerhouse in Hydra. Extra style points for his aesthetics and kit synergy — pure fun with power behind it.
When Seal of Magic lands, it feels different. Prince Kymar’s A3 reset was legendary before resets were mainstream. Add his buff strip and AOE sleep, and he was an Arena and dungeon menace. Even in 2025, with nearly a thousand champions in the mix, he’s still one of the most useful resets in the game.
Septimus used to one-shot bosses, delete waves, and flex that 30% bonus damage passive. Sadly, damage caps and mechanics updates sent him straight to the vault. But for anyone who played during his glory days? We all remember when Septimus felt like an unstoppable secret weapon. Just waiting on that sweet, sweet buff.
Honorable Mentions:
Long time fans might throw in Martyr, Valkyrie, or even Skullcrown — all of whom had their moment. But this list captures the essence of champions who didn’t just fill a role — they defined it for us when it mattered most.
For me it would be Senna. Game changer.
