Kael Overview

Kael, once a petty thief roamed the realm of Teleria taking whatever he could using his Elven magic to fight off angry foes. Arbiter found Kael and offered him a chance to set right the wrongs he had done and ultimately take up the fight against the evil Undead rising in their midst. Arbiter taught Kael of friendship and the need for allies, which is when he became one of the strongest warriors alongside Galek, Elhain and Athel.

Kael is arguably the best starter champion in Raid: Shadow Legends. This champion can be utilised in many areas of the game, as he places Poisons & inflicts AOE attacks on his foe. These skills make him extremely valuable against the likes of the Dragon, Clan Boss and Arena opponents. Similar to the other starter champions, you only need to build him with 85% Crit Rate to ensure a Critical hit with his Acid Rain [A2]. Overall, Kael is a fantastic Rare champion to start your Raid journey with, and will also hold later game value in areas such as the Rare Doom Tower Secret Rooms.
