Lydia the Deathsiren Overview

Lydia the Deathsiren is a Void Legendary champion from the Dark Elves faction, earned exclusively by fully completing Faction Wars on Normal – that means earning 3 stars on every stage and defeating all bosses. It’s one of the toughest challenges in Raid: Shadow Legends, but the reward is more than worth the effort. Introduced in October 2020, Lydia cannot be summoned from shards and is only available through this achievement. However, she can be empowered using duplicates of the Void Legendary Visix the Unbowed.

Lydia excels across nearly every area of the game. She’s a staple in endgame content like high tier Doom Tower, Clan Boss teams, Hydra, and much more. Her ability to block revives makes her incredibly valuable in Arena, allowing her to shut down enemy revive attempts.

With a versatile kit built around damage amplification, speed manipulation and control, Lydia fits seamlessly into almost any team. She’s a top tier Legendary and absolutely worth investing books and resources into.
