Leminisi the Gold-Wing – Champion Spotlight

Leminisi the Gold-Wing is the brand new free login legendary champion from the second half of the Chaos Awakes event in Raid: Shadow Legends. In this spotlight we’ll be breaking down everything you need to know about how to use and build her from a beginner’s perspective, all the way through to late-game mastery.

If you don’t get her from her login event, she will always be available from regular shard pulls in the future, since she is not an exclusive champion like Ninja.

Make sure to check out our dedicated Champion page for Leminisi as well to get even more info!

Let’s cut right to the chase: Leminisi is only an above-average legendary. She has good single-target damage and an unusual combination of debuffs (which will make her useful for the early and mid-game) but provides relatively low value for any long-term players.

A free legendary is always nice–especially for new players–but she won’t revolutionize new accounts in the same way that Ninja or Artak did.

ONE BIG NUKE

The best part of her kit (which we’ll explain in detail in the next section) is the massive single-target nuke from her A2. To be fair to her, this can do big damage and will easily take out even the toughest enemies in Faction Wars Hard or Arena!

HER NICHE

Many new players will also lack a good Force affinity damage dealer (you likely have Kael and Wukong), so she can fill a hole. The developers have even confirmed that one of their goals with this champion was to provide an accessible legendary damage option for the Sylvan Watchers faction, since many players had asked for one in the past.

Leminisi is a fairly straightforward hybrid damage dealer: her main focus is on dealing damage but she will also brings some debuffs and effects that are worth considering. Expect her to work very similarly to Kael or recent fusion Tholin, to give some examples.

A1 – Auric Talons

Her A1 does respectable damage (with a 2×2.1xATK multiplier) but its effects are a bit puzzling.

Most Shields in the game are very small, and reducing them by 10% is very minor compared to the direct damage you will be doing with decent gear (in arena, for example, a 30,000 Shield is considered very good, and this would only knock 3,000 points off it). This suggests that they might be planning some bosses in the future that will place large Shields?

The 10% ignore defence bonus if they have no Shield is much better, and will provide a nice damage boost to this attack if you follow our gearing suggestions in later sections.

A2 – Intercept the Threat

This is her money-making skill!

With a 3xATK multiplier per hit this is a solid single target nuke—and that’s before adding up to 100% potential extra damage equal to the target’s current Turn Meter.

Removing 2 buffs per hit is very nice utility as well, providing a sneaky counter to enemies like Siegfrund or the Cheshire Cat who will try to hide behind Block Damage.

A3 – Venerated Warrior

This attack is the biggest disappointment in her kit.

The damage is average for a legendary (a 2x2xATK multiplier), so don’t expect big numbers here.

The debuffs are also very niche—while this provides some value (since there’s few champions with this exact combo), there are also not many situations where Heal Reduction is needed.

The biggest issue though is that her Block Buffs debuff only has a 75% chance to land, even when booked, which makes her less reliable than even some epic champions (and she has affinity issues too). This makes her an OK fill-in for a Hydra team, but far from ideal.

P1 – Scourge of Evil

The damage reduction is only mildly useful—make no mistake, she will still be a very squishy champion.

The Turn Meter fill is very nice, and can let her counter enemies who rely on these effects: in arena, Shield and Heal are very common; likewise in the new Hard Mode of Faction Wars. The regular turn meter boosts can help her get ahead and one-shot the enemy damage dealer with her A2!

Aura – 25% ATK in All Battles

This is a generally useful aura, though it’s a fairly low value (more in line with epic champions than most legendaries).

Best Stats

The key stats to look for on Leminisi are:

1. C.RATE%
2. SPD
3. C.DMG%
4. ATK%
5. ACC

Leminisi is a hybrid damage dealer, meaning that she mostly focuses on typical damage stats, but she does like a bit of ACC as well.

As a damage dealer in 2025 you want to put decent SPD on her, but she should be the slowest champion in your team. Her passive will also help her cut in and take turns, but it’s best to still have good SPD so you interrupt the enemy team rather than simply compensating for not building SPD at all.

C.RATE% should be at 100%. To find the perfect balance between ATK% and C.DMG%, we recommend using our Optimiser Tool to do the maths for you!

You should use our Raid Stages Tool to figure out the minimum ACC you need for the stage you want to use her for; you generally don’t want to over-invest into this stat since it will limit her damage. For arena, you could skip this entirely and rely on her passive 50% ignore RES against Corrupted Alliance champions.

Best Gear Sets

The 5 best sets for Leminisi are:

1. Merciless
2. Lethal
3. Savage
4. Pinpoint
5. Perception
6. Stoneskin

The short version is that you want to pick any gear sets that give Ignore Defence to maximise her damage.

For arena, you should combine Lethal or Savage with 4-piece Stoneskin to ensure she survives to get a turn.

For PvE, you should supplement her main damage set with sets that give ACC and/or SPD, to make her more consistent.

Best Masteries

As a damage dealer, getting a strong Blessing and Relic for Leminisi is crucial—and luckily her 5-star soul is earnable for free through the Leminisi Chase Event!

Best Blessings

Check out our Blessings Tier List for full details on all Blessings!

There are several great options for Blessings for Leminisi:

1. Lightning Cage (Legendary): her best general option for Arena, since it will protect her Stoneskin buff at the start of the fight (note: if you don’t have a Stoneskin set, this is much less valuable).
2. Soul Reap (Legendary): this is her best raw damage option for Arena and Faction Wars, allowing her to secure kills she might otherwise miss.
3. Brimstone (Legendary): for a new player, this blessing will be a huge damage boost against basically every boss in the game and is essential for nearly every team.
4. Nature’s Wrath (Epic): this is her best damage option for Clan Boss fights if you already have Brimstone on the team.

Best Relics

Check out our Relics Tier List for full details on all Relics!

There are several great options for Relics for Leminisi:

1. Covetous’ Passion (Mythical Event Relic): this is her best relic for Arena and Faction Wars since she can easily secure kills with her A2 to keep the buff going.
2. Torch of Thralldom (Mythical Faction Relic): this is her best non-exclusive mythical relic, giving a massive boost to all her stats–though you’ll likely get its benefits in Faction Wars.
3. The Cat’s Gaze (Legendary Event Relic): the best legendary damage relic in the game is (unsurprisingly) amazing for her as well, stacking with the ignore defence you’ll get through gear, masteries, and area bonuses.
4. Gorecrescent (Legendary Chimera Relic): this is her best non-exclusive legendary relic, and arguably better than The Cat’s Gaze: her A2 will likely kill anything anyway, and can easily activate this relic bonus for her A3.
5. Irethi Coronet (Epic Chimera Relic): this is a great relic for Clan Boss fights where she has time to stack the bonus.
6. Malefic Talon (Rare Chimera Relic): the best budget relic; essentially a C.DMG% stat-stick.
