Best Legendary Champions for Shogun
Use the best Legendary Champions for Akumori the Phantom Shogun in Raid: Shadow Legends, and you’ll be able to farm as much valuable Accessory Extract as you need!
The Phantom Shogun is the only source of this treasured item, which enables you to Ascend your Champions’ Accessories to make them even more powerful.
Akumori has an intimidating lineup of Skills and unique mechanics, making him a daunting foe. He can block Champions’ Passive Skills with his Forest of Spears attack, for example, and has a unique Shade Counter that increases his resistances, damage, and critical rate the higher it gets (check our Phantom Shogun Guide below for more on this).
As a result, many tactics and team builds that are effective against other Bosses won’t work against the Phantom Shogun. This is especially true for Champions that rely on strong Passives.
Once you know how to counter his mechanics, however, many Champions that he would otherwise have neutralized are more than viable again.
Check our complete Phantom Shogun Guide to ensure you’re building and gearing the following Champions correctly for this encounter!
Raid Bosses tremble at the sight of Acrizia’s flaming sword, and for good reason! Her Skills target Enemy Max HP, making her highly effective at slicing through high HP targets like Shogun. Note, however, that she will need [Stoneskin] against Shogun, to avoid losing her Passive bonus that allows her to target enemy Max HP for damage.
Golden boy Cardiel’s A2 Skill brings some powerful Debuff cleansing coupled with [Block Debuffs] and [Revive on Death] Buffs for your team. This Skill is very useful for countering the Shogun’s [Enfeeble] from the Scourge Sword skill, and has added bonus of keeping your team alive. His A3 ally attack skill allows his teammates to hit Shogun very hard (and speed up your run), too.
Gnut is the master of defeating high HP opponents with his powerful Blessed Bash, capable of dealing 30% of the Shogun’s HP damage in one go. He is, however, a weak Affinity match for the highest stages of Shogun (which you will want to farm for Chaos Powder). He is effective, but watch he doesnt increase the Shade Counter too much.
Riho can place a debilitating amount of Debuffs on the Shogun with her A2 Skill, including [Decrease DEF], [HP Burn], [Deacrease ATK], [Decrease C.RATE], and [Weaken]. She’s also great for clearing the [Enfeeble] Debuff placed by the Shogun’s Scourge Sword Skill with her A3, while placing [Block Debuffs] and healing your team at the same time.
Marius tramples on any Boss he faces, bringing an incredible Enemy Max HP triple hit with his Death or Glory A2 Skill. He is more challenging to build compared to Gnut, but is capable of repeating Gnut’s attacks against All Enemies. Combining Marius with another Max HP Champion makes swift work of the Shogun’s Health Bar. In Addition, he brings [Increase ACC] to help you land your Debuffs against this high resistance Boss.
Mithrala is another solid support Champion for your Shogun team. Her A3 Skill provides a Debuff cleanse and also adds [Strengthen] and [Shield] Buffs to your team. Her A2 can also place [Hex] on the enemy while Buffing your team with [Increase ATK] and [Increase DEF] to help allies stay alive and hit the Shogun harder.
Turvold can lay heavy damage on the Shogun (and anyone else in his way). He has a lethal double hit A3 Skill that scales his damage based on how many active Buffs he has, and a double hit A1 that can inflict [Weaken]. His self Buffing A2 also gives him [Increase ATK], [Increase C.RATE], [Increase SPD] and an extra turn. A true monster.
Prince Kymar is the ultimate ability manipulator! He’s capable of completely resetting all of your Champions’ powerful abilities. This will allow you to repeat your rotation or critical abilities that remove Debuffs or deal Max HP damage, enabling you to achieve extremely fast dungeon completion times. Picking up a Kymar for any dungeon is exceptionally powerful and opens the door to many new team combinations.
It’s also worth mentioning Ninja is a great choice for the Shogun, if you’re lucky enough to have him. His A2 Skill places and instantly activates [HP Burn] against Bosses, so he’s a solid alternative damage dealer.
Even one of these Legendary Champions in your team can make all the difference when facing the Shogun. If you need Epic Champions to fill the gaps in your team, them check out our Champion Tier List for the best picks.
