Inquisitor Shamael Overview

Shamael is a top-tier Sacred Order Epic who excels as a defence ignoring nuker and a premier Hydra champion, countering Fear effects, boosting Turn Meter, and delivering massive single target damage with strong utility across PvE and Arena.

In the ancient halls of the Sacred Order, Inquisitor Shamael stands as a powerful guardian. The scar on his eye serves as a reminder of the battles he has fought and the enemies he has vanquished. Inquisitor Shamael is an Epic champion from the Sacred Order Faction.

Before Hydra was introduced into Raid, Shamael was renowned for his ability to single-handedly decimate enemies thanks to his A2, which can ignore 100% of an enemy’s defence when he is under 3 buffs. Once optimized, this skill allows him to bypass all of a target’s defence, capable of destroying almost any champion with the right stats. Additionally, if he kills an enemy, he can apply True Fear to other enemies, providing effective crowd control.

After the release of Hydra, Shamael found a new role by utilising his passive ability. When the Head of Torment is in rotation, Shamael ensures no fears are placed, and fills the Turn Meter and your Lead champion. Position a powerful champion in the lead to maximize their damage output. He will also Counterattack with his A1 whenever an ally is Debuffed, granting extra opportunities to decrease the duration of random buffs on the target. Shamael is one of the top epic champions in the game and is definitely worth investing in.
