Baron

Last Updated: July 30, 2026

Baron Overview

Following his rework, Baron became one of Raid’s top Arena nukers, combining Ignore DEF AoE damage with reliable single target Decrease DEF and strong wave clearing potential, making him a top choice for PvP and fast PvE clears.

Baron is famous for having some of the shiniest armour in all of Raid. Legend has it that he uses a secret family polish passed down through generations of Barons, with the recipe closely guarded to ensure every future Baron keeps the family reputation intact!

For a long time, Baron was considered a niche Champion due to his Secret Skill, which only had a 40% chance to unlock. While incredibly powerful when it triggered, the inconsistency meant most players couldn’t rely on it. That changed in September 2022, when he received a rework that replaced his Pure Damage Secret Skill with a devastating AoE attack, transforming him into one of the top Arena nukers in the game.

This AoE attack ignores Shields, Block Damage, and 50% of an enemy’s DEF, making it exceptionally effective at breaking through some of the strongest defensive mechanics while also clearing waves with ease.

Baron also brings a valuable single target Decrease DEF on his A2 that is guaranteed to land without requiring Accuracy, making it reliable in any build. His A1 is equally impressive, attacking all remaining enemies if it kills its initial target, allowing him to chain through weakened waves.
