5 Rare Champions You Should Build in Raid: Shadow Legends
It’s easy to overlook them, but there are five Rare Champions you should build in Raid: Shadow Legends that can be a massive help for your early and mid-game progression.
While Epic and Legendary Champions are essential to late-game content, the following five Rare Champions can be viable for much of the mid-game when you don’t have as many higher rarity Champions.
What’s more, most of these Rare Champions have great versatility (and are highly rated on our Raid Champions Tier List) making them ideal for filling gaps in your teams or farming certain content.

The Rare Champions above are much easier to acquire than Epics and Legendaries but still have the capability to handle lots of content.
Another advantage of these Rare Champions is that they take much less investment to fully rank up when it comes to Skills, as Rare Skill Tomes are generally easier to get than their Legendary and Epic counterparts.
If you’re lucky enough to get the two Void Champions in this list (Bellower and Coldheart), then you’ll have two Champions that are useful in many content areas thanks to their Void Affinity and hard hitting Skills.
