Martyr

Last Updated: July 18, 2023

Martyr Overview

Martyr is dressed head to toe in chainmail and has a glowing sword to slay her foes.

She is a Spirit affinity legendary from the Sacred Order faction. Martyr was often considered the no:1 legendary in Raid: Shadow Legends in its first year of release and she continues to be one of the strongest in the game. She has a kit full of fantastic buffs and debuffs however is best known for her A2 skill that increases your whole teams defence and place a counter-attack buff on your entire team for 2 turns. Martyr is one of only 3 champions in Raid able to place a team counter-attack and it is a valuable skill especially in Clan Boss where you have a limited amount of time to output maximum damage before the Clan Boss enrages and destroys your team.
A lot (me included) would suggest Martyr has lost her crown as no:1 champion in the game, she still remains a top 15 champion and able to compete in all content. Her strongest areas of the game are Clan Boss and Faction War where she still gets MVP status.

She still is a solid champion to have in your team because she just brings a lot that you will need in your teams!
