Apothecary

Last Updated: June 4, 2025

Apothecary Overview

In the majestic city of Aravia, Apothecary is renowned for his exceptional healing and ability to boost his allies’ Speed and Turn Meters. A Rare champion from the High Elves faction, he’s often the go to choice for players beginning their journey in Raid: Shadow Legends.

Speed is one of the most important stats in the game, and Apothecary manipulates this by providing an Increase Speed buff along with a Turn Meter boost – making him an ideal choice for your fastest or second fastest champion in Arena, as well as a key support option even in PvE content such as Clan Boss and Dungeons throughout progression. His single target heal is powerful, capable being Critical, and his triple hit A1 makes him a great candidate for the Giant Slayer mastery to maximize Clan Boss damage. That triple hit also comes in handy for reducing the Shield on the Fire Knight.

Overall, Apothecary remains one of the best Rare champions in the game, offering value in early progression and even into later game content like Secret Rooms and Sintranos stages.
