As you may have noticed Acelin The Stalwart has a Faction Unity element on his skills but what does this mean?

Well, this is a new element to Raid Shadow Legends and in the future, Legendary Champions will be released with a new type of skill called Faction Unity Skills.

This skill means that champions will become more powerful depending on the number of Champions from the same Faction.

Faction Unity Skills can be either Active or Passive. Each of them will have 3 Levels that unlock progressively for every appropriate Champion added to the Team – for every Champion from the same Faction, to be more precise (not counting the champion who has the Skill).

• Passive Faction Unity Skills affect all the Champions on your team, no matter the Faction. But like all other Passive Skills, they can be blocked or lose their effect if the wielder falls.
• Also, these types of Champions will have enhanced Aura Skills that can boost more than one Stat.

Champions with Faction Unity Skills will not be in the Summoning Pool under normal circumstances. They will be featured in different in-game activities instead.

So, if you look at Acelin The Stalwart‘s a3 you can see you get better Unity bonuses for having 3 Allies of the Same faction. Be sure to use these Faction Unity’s to the Fullest potential!
