Champion Spotlight – Brakus the Shifter

Brakus The Shifter is a nice arena champion to your roster. So if you’re struggling in Raid: Shadow Legends in the arena and Brakus is in your vault then I think I may have found one of your issues! Make sure you stack the crit damage on this champion and he will claw through your opposition one at a time!

Brakus the Shifter is a Force affinity legendary from the Skinwalker faction. Brakus was added to the game during Halloween 2019 and was advertised as an EXTREME FUSION! The player base had to complete a lot of tasks and events to complete the event to fuse Brakus in just 1 week. The player base remembers this as a really intense champion to grind for and a lot decided not to even try to get Brakus.

Brakus has made his place as a great single target Arena Nuker with a great passive that causes him to resurrect when killed and nuke the attacker! This can turn a fight around if Brakus is built with a high crit rate and crit damage. Brakus is a great champion to use Swift Parry set on for the additional chances to 1 shot enemies.

Brakus has also been part of some excellent end game Clan Boss teams built around revive mechanics. The other place where Brakus offers real value in Raid is Fire Knight due to his 6 hit A2 ability and his 3 hit A3 ability.

I would suggest building a Brakus with Helmsmasher tier 6 masteries.
