Crusader
Last Updated: June 20, 2025
Crusader Overview
When beginning your journey in Raid, Crusader is the champion you’ll receive right from the start. He’s a Force affinity uncommon attack champion from the Sacred Order faction.
Crusader shares an identical skill set with Sergeant, another uncommon from the same faction, and unfortunately, both offer little in terms of desirable utility. His A1 is a basic double hit on a single target, while his A2 triggers an ally attack with one random ally. Crusader should only be considered a temporary filler for early game Faction Wars – for filling a gap to earn 3 star clears, but only if you’re short on options in your roster.
