Best Support Champions in Raid Shadow Legends (Top Healers, Revivers & Buffers)
Support champions keep your team alive and stable in every stage of Raid Shadow Legends. They bring healing, buffs, and control that let your damage dealers do their job. A strong support unit often decides if a team succeeds or fails.
What Support Champions Do in Raid
The Role of Support Champions
Support champions focus on keeping the team alive and ready to act. They heal allies, place buffs, and protect the group from incoming damage. Many can revive fallen champions, which gives teams a second chance in long fights.
You will often see support units placing Increase DEF, Block Debuffs, or Shield buffs. These effects reduce damage taken and help your team last longer in tough battles.
Alternatively, many supports can bring valuable debuffs to disable enemies in various ways, such as reducing their damage output, increasing the damage they take, or outright controlling them.
Why Support Champions Are Important
Fights in Raid often last several turns, especially in bosses and late-game content. Without support, teams fall quickly once damage starts to stack.
Support champions extend fights by healing damage and preventing debuffs. This allows your damage dealers to keep attacking without interruption. In harder content, survival matters more than raw damage.
Types of Support Champions
Healing Champions
Healing champions restore lost health during battle. Some provide single-target healing, while others heal the entire team.
Champions like Apothecary and Scyl of the Drakes can heal consistently. This keeps your team stable during long fights such as Clan Boss or dungeons.
Buff Champions
Buff champions improve your team’s performance through stat boosts. Common buffs include Increase ATK, Increase DEF, and Increase SPD.
These buffs raise damage output and reduce incoming damage. Speed buffs in particular help your team take more turns, which often decides fights.
Debuff Champions
Debuff champions impact your team’s performance by affecting how enemies perform. Common debuffs include Decrease ATK, Decrease DEF, and Decrease SPD.
Control Champions also fall into this category, with common forms such as Stun, Fear/True Fear, Cooldown Manipulation and Turn Meter Control.
Revive Champions
Revive champions bring defeated allies back into battle. This ability can turn a lost fight into a win.
Champions like Arbiter and Duchess Lilitu can revive multiple allies. In long fights, this gives your team more chances to recover and finish the battle.
Best Support Champions in Raid
Here we’ve listed 10 of the most important Support Champions in the game: note that this list is not exhaustive, but it should steer you in the right direction for knowing what makes these types of champions so powerful! Check out our Champion Tier List for more info.
APOTHECARY
Apothecary is an incredible budget pick, bringing Healing, Fill Turn Meter and Increase SPD in the one move on a short 3-turn cooldown. His triple-hit A1 is particularly nice for Fire Knight for helping to take down the Shield. He has fantastic base SPD, and as a rare, he’s easy to obtain and book too!
RELIQUARY TENDER
Demytha
Cardinal
Cardinal is an epic Sacred Order support champion built around a full-team revive that restores all allies with Turn Meter, often turning lost Arena fights into instant wins. She excels in go-second Arena teams, where her revive can reset the battle and swing momentum back in your favour. In PVE Progression she can provide invaluable support as long as you can keep her alive!
Uugo
Duchess Lilitu
Riho Bonespear
Marichka the Unbreakable
Marichka the Unbreakable is a legendary Banner Lords support champion who offers some of the strongest team protection in the game through shields, damage reduction, and constant healing. She pairs perfectly with Taras, but still excels on her own by keeping allies alive and even reviving them all when she dies.
ARBAIS THE STONETHORN
Arbais was one of the first set of mythicals added to the game and she remains revelant to this day. She basically functions like an improved version of Arbiter in her Base Form–albeit without the revive. Compared to Arbiter, she brings an additional Increase ACC buff on her Turn Meter Boost, which is very helpful for any champions on your team who can place debuffs or negative effects.
Her Alternate Form functions as a tank and healer for the team as well, expanding her utility even more and opening up more Trials in Chimera etc.

Support Champions for Different Areas of the Game
Dungeon Progression
Support champions help teams survive dungeon waves and boss fights. Healing and protection allow steady progress through stages.
In Dragon or Ice Golem, support units reduce damage taken and keep debuffs under control. This makes runs safer and more consistent.
Hydra and Doom Tower
These modes involve long fights with heavy damage and debuffs. Strong support is required to survive.
Champions with cleansing, healing, and revive skills perform well here. Without them, teams can struggle to last beyond a few turns at higher difficulties.
Arena Teams
In Arena, support champions protect your damage dealers. They provide shields, buffs, and turn meter boosts.
Speed boosters like Arbiter or High Khatun help your team go first. Defensive supports keep your team alive against enemy attacks.
How to Build Support Champions
Speed Requirements
Speed is the most important stat for support champions. Faster champions take more turns and use their skills more often.
Aim to build support units faster than your damage dealers. This lets them apply buffs and healing to prevent damage or quickly recover from incoming hits.
Survivability Stats
Support champions need high HP and DEF to stay alive. Resistance helps them avoid debuffs from enemies.
A durable support unit can keep helping the team for the entire fight. If they fall early, the team often collapses.
Recommended Artifact Sets
Speed sets are the most common choice for support champions. They help increase turn frequency.
Other useful sets include Shield set, Regeneration, Immortal for extra HP and healing, and Perception for added Accuracy and Speed for those who also need ACC for their debuffs.
There are other huge benefits to the 9-piece sets available in the game, many supports you may want to build in sets such as Stoneskin, Protection, Mercurial, etc depending on their uses (this is a case-by-case decision).
