Every Legendary Reviver in RAID: Shadow Legends RANKED

Revivers are one of the most important types of champion in RAID: Shadow Legends, helping your teams stay consistent and recover from deaths–it's fair to say that most players will try to include a reviver in every team if they can!

In this series we're going to be ranking every single reviver in the game, updated for the end of 2025, so you know who is the best for every single rarity, for every single faction, for every single situation.

Today, we're tackling Legendaries: there's plenty of options here, but who is worth using and who is a trap? Read on and find out!

CONDITIONAL LEGENDARY REVIVERS

First up, we're covering what we're calling the "conditional" Legendary revivers: these Legendary can revive, but it's not a standard active ability which can be reliably used. This is still useful–and we wanted to make sure to include these champions since some are insanely powerful–but we felt it wasn't right to include them in the main list.

Note: the list goes from worst to best!

8. ALTAN

Altan is the worst legendary reviver across both categories and is desperately in need of a buff. At least he looks cool. (Build him for damage)

Spacer

7. ASTRALON

Astralon works similarly to Altan but he has much stronger damage and a reliable AoE Stun as well! He can be a decent damage dealer and backup reviver.

Spacer

6. GAMURAN

After his buff Gamuran has become a very unique champion and is actually quite good! There are also very few good options for Shadowkin, making him even more appealing for Faction Wars.

Lydia the Deathsiren-Portrait

5. LYDIA THE DEATHSIREN

Lydia is one of the best legendaries in the game, but she's very unreliable as a reviver: her revive is strong but can only trigger when she blocks an enemy revive with her passive, making it extremely hard to use (or even completely non-functional) in many areas of the game.

Spacer
Skull Lord Var-Gall-Portrait

4. SKULL LORD VAR-GALL

After his rework Skull Lord now has a strong passive revive with one massive downside: he can only revive Lizardmen! Self-explanatory really.

Spacer
Tribune Herakletes Portrait

3. TRIBUNE HERAKLETES

A Faction Unity champion with arguably the strongest version of the "revive-on-kill" mechanic. He does ludicrous damage, so should easily be able to kill enemies, though this does put his A2 on a 4-turn cooldown.

Spacer
Odin Faefather Portrait

2. ODIN FAEFATHER

Odin is a ridiculously good champion, who can  reliably secure kills with his A3 and therefore revive (it's not quite as powerful as Herakletes but it has a shorter cooldown and void affinity). His passive triggering can help those champions stay alive too! His main downside is areas of the game where you can't kill enemies (e.g. Clan Bosses).

Spacer
marichka portrait

1. MARICHKA THE UNBREAKABLE

The best passive reviver and one of the best champions in the entire game, Marichka makes it on to this list by bringing a full team revive on her passive which has no cooldown. She doesn't revive herself, but she becomes incredible when paired with another champion to revive her in turn. Literally every single part of her kit is a 10/10, and she is arguably better than even the very best standard legendary revivers–a big change from how these lists went with the rare and epic rarities.

STANDARD LEGENDARY REVIVERS

Senna Amberheart Splash Artwork

These are the standard Legendary revivers. Even the worst champion here might be crucial for progression… and the top rated champions might be irreplacable for some of the best teams in the entire game!

Note: the list goes from worst to best!

Spacer

22. SCYL OF THE DRAKES

I'm sure this will have you screaming in outrage, but I honestly believe Scyl is weaker than the other legendary options. She's much better than most of the epics, and she's still a great champion for progression… but her dated stats and chances to land effects on her A1 and A2 are holding her back from placing higher. Don't let nostalgia blind you: she's good, but not top tier anymore.

Spacer
Iudex Artor Portrait Icon

21. IUDEX ARTOR

Unlike Scyl, Artor is heavily disliked. This is because many players are looking at Scyl through the lens of 2020 and Artor through the lens of 2025. When you look at him on paper, he's very slightly better than her, and is a good champion overall, though relatively weak for a legendary reviver.

Spacer

20. BLIND SEER

After her buff she's a good champion but severly lacks a special something to set her apart. Higher ranked revivers simply bring more unique things than her–though Dark Elves is a very squishy Faction, and she will be extremely helpful for Faction Wars.

Spacer

19. MAULIE TANKARD

Maulie brings a good revive and can be an incredible Provoke machine. She has a brilliant passive as well which can add up to a lot of Turn Meter over the course of a fight.

Spacer
High Keeper Prysma Portrait

18. HIGH KEEPER PRYSMA

Prysma is a fairly new champion and is possibly very underrated on this list. He brings a big focus on offense with a powerful Ally Attack and buff manipulation, but brings almost no defensive benefits at all. I've seen very few quality teams using him, but it's very possible that players simply haven't been incentivised to use them yet (it's hard to not simply use Arbiter for Faction Wars).

Spacer
belletar portrait

17. BELLETAR MAGE-SLAYER

A very disappointing Void reviver, Belletar brings a solid take on the standard reviver archetype without doing anything exceptional. He's extremely helpful for Ogryn, but honestly he's a champion who deserves a buff to make him more unique (how is he killing mages? I'm not seeing it!).

Spacer
Kaja the Wry

16. KAJA THE WRY

Kaja is pretty mediocre on paper but ends up being surprisingly useful in practice. Her high base SPD, mediocre SPD Aura, and strong Turn Meter Boost make her a great Arbiter-style champion for PvP. She's a generally good champion when paired with Timit for PvE content as well.

Spacer
mighty ukko portait

15. MIGHTY UKKO

Ukko is a very unique reviver who brings some very tricky buff manipulation and can be very effective with Stun sets. He was sadly nerfed (he could proc Stun set on each hit of his A2) so isn't quite as good as he was on release, but he's still a solid and unique reviver. Hopefully he'll be buffed one day to make his A2 debuffs easier to land: the Hydra "respawned head" buff blocks his debuffs for example, which feels bad.

Spacer
Praeva the Slitherer Portrait

14. PRAEVA THE SLITHERER

A new reviver, Praeva is a great PvE option, bringing solid buffs, reviving and debuff removal. She seems a bit weaker for PvP though, so focus your build on PvE instead.

Spacer
highmother maud portrait

13. HIGHMOTHER MAUD

One of the hardest revivers to get in the entire game, Maud is good–but you probably don't need her if you're able to get her. Her passive is the highlight, bringing constant debuff removal.

Spacer
pythion champion portrait

12. PYTHION

Pythion is the definition of the healer/reviver archetype, bringing great healing, debuff removal, Block Debuffs, and damage mitigation. He's extremely solid and comfortable to use, though his lack of any offensive benefit holds him back from top slots.

Spacer
Rakka Viletide Portrait

11. RAKKA VILETIDE

Rakka is arguably the most underrated reviver in the game, bringing a solid suite of protection while also bringing Turn Meter boosts and Increase ATK. She could do with a small buff as well, perhaps lowering the cooldowns of her A3 and passive–her A3 is pretty weak when used purely for the Block Debuffs buff, and feels bad if a champion dies shortly after using it that way.

Spacer
Lady Noelle Portrait

10. LADY NOELLE

Noelle is maybe the most overrated reviver in the game: she's extremely good, but people tend to ignore her flaws. She's insanely good when paired with Sir Nicholas, but then you have the downside of having Sir Nicholas on the team (I think this pairing is actually underrated–he's weak, but the pairing is bonkers). Her 3-turn AoE revive is the shortest cooldown team revive in the game (aside from Marichka), which is really useful but not enough to justify the hype. She's strongest in content where her A3 Freeze can have a big impact (or her Unkillable spam when paired with Sir Nicholas).

Spacer

9. RAGLIN

After her buff, Raglin has become very powerful. She has the shortest cooldown single-target revive in the game, but it's her ability to reset revived champions' cooldowns and her immunity to lockout effects that makes her so good. She now has great buffs on her A2 as well, and it does a massive amount of healing (watch out if they ever add any way in the future to generate Shield buffs off of overhealing or something like that!).

Spacer
wight queen ankora portrait

8. WIGHT QUEEN ANKORA

Ankora's big selling point is her unique passive, which will protect your main damage dealer from all CC effects. She has a strong pairing with Wight King Narses, which can be very powerful in both PvP and in Faction Wars.

Spacer
elva autumnborn portrait

7. ELVA AUTUMNBORN

Elva is one of the most comfy PvE revivers in the game, effectively functioning like Siphi but with much better cooldown timers–trading out Increase Defence and a small TM boost for a full team cleanse. She's very versatile, and can be surprisingly strong in PvP as well! That passive Perfect Veil can take enemies by surprise.

Spacer
Arbiter

6. ARBITER

Arbiter's revive itself is pretty weak by 2025 standards, but her immense usefulness for players has propelled her to a very high spot on this list. Her huge Turn Meter boost alongisde a fantastic SPD Aura and great base SPD has made her remain relevant even into the endgame of 2025. I do think that she deserves a buff soon to help her maintain that iconic position, but there's no question that she's still one of the most used champions in the game!

Spacer
Duchess Lilitu-Portrait

5. DUCHESS LILITU

Duchess is not the absolute dominant force she was a few years ago, but she remains a very powerful reviver. Her highlights are the damage mitigation she provides her team, alongside a ton of buffs–particularly the rare Perfect Veil buff which is very useful for Hydra and Chimera. She remains good for arena, especially alongside Vulkanos, and is still a fantastic champion despite the much tougher competition in 2025.

Spacer
Glaicad of the Meltwater Portrait

4. GLAICAD OF THE MELTWATER

Glaicad is something of a Duchess 2.0: he brings less survivability than she does, but he brings much stronger offensive benefits. If you don't need those defences (which you likely don't if you're an endgame Clan Boss player), then he is simply better!

Spacer
sulfuryion portrait

3. SULFURYION

Sulfuryion holds a very unique position as being a brilliant reviver who is also the best HP Burn Explosion champion in the game! He can melt Spider bosses and some Event Dungeons in PvE; and he melts Stoneskin and has a disgusting TM boosting combo with Gizmak the Terrible in PvP.

Spacer
Siphi the Lost Bride-Portrait

2. SIPHI THE LOST BRIDE

Siphi definitely suffers against anti-buff champions (e.g. Nell, Queen of Hearts, Vulkanos, etc.) and anti-buff sets (e.g. Supersonic) in 2025, but she still deserves the number two spot in my opinion. She brings such powerful buffs, excels in a Protection set, and retains a powerful partner in Rotos, and all these things are still fantastic. Sadly, she might fall down this list in the future due to the ever-expanding list of counters to her.

Spacer
Senna Amberheart Portrait

1. SENNA AMBERHEART

When Senna first released a lot of us (myself included) drastically underestimated her. We now know that she is the queen of PvE, due to the absurd amount of Turn Meter she gives through he passive–it's hard to judge on paper, but in practice it is much stronger than you think. She's particularly good at Chimera (the most important Clan Boss in 2025), since the Turn Limit is very forgiving; she's held back from dominance in Demon Lord and Hydra due to Turn Limits in those runs!
