Michelangelo

The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles have arrived in Teleria through a special collaboration event in Raid: Shadow Legends, bringing Leonardo, Raphael, Donatello, Michelangelo, April O’Neil, and the fearsome Shredder into the game. This time, April sets aside her journalism to rally the Turtles – not for pizza, but to face Shredder in a brand-new Event Dungeon before he seizes control of the kingdom. Let’s dive into what Michelangelo, the newest addition to the Banner Lords, brings to the table!

This champion’s kit offers a strong mix of control, debuffs, and damage, making him effective in many content areas. His A3 is an AoE that applies Decrease Attack and Leech, while ignoring 25% resistance if it lands as a critical hit, and also places Taunt on himself. These effects lower enemy damage, let allies heal from the damage they deal, and draw single-target attacks toward him. While this leaves him exposed, he has a built in chance to Evade enemy skills and their effects – rising to 30% when under Taunt – while also placing a Shield on himself whenever he’s hit.

While Taunt has lost value in Hydra since the nerf, it’s still useful for PvE wave progression, The Phantom Shogun, and certain PvP enemies. His A2 adds even more utility: a single target hit that applies both Decrease Defence and Stun, then spreads all debuffs from that target onto the rest of the enemies. This is especially effective in situations where debuffs are scarce – for instance, in Hydra if a head respawns after decapitation, you can target a debuffed head to spread those effects across the others, or in Spider to turn a single target HP Burn into burns on all the spiderlings.

Like the other Turtles, his passive lets him join attacks whenever they hit an enemy, while his default attack grants himself Increase Attack to boost his damage. Overall, Michelangelo offers solid damage, useful debuffs, and plenty of value – whether for progression or simply for the fun factor of his kit.
