Shredder

Last Updated: September 10, 2025

Shredder Overview

Shredder is a tanky Shadowkin damage dealer who thrives under Perfect Veil, stealing buffs, ignoring key defences, and scaling both damage and durability, making him a strong counter to buff-heavy teams with solid control and sustain.

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 slash into action with Shredder, the latest addition to the Shadowkin faction!

As an HP based damage dealer, Shredder is naturally tanky and hard to bring down, especially with his passive that applies Perfect Veil to himself, reducing incoming damage by 30% and giving him a chance to Evade attacks. To make the debuffs from his skills irresistible and maximize his kit, you’ll want Perfect Veil active. Since his only way to apply it himself is through his Evade effect activating, pairing him with an ally who can actively place Perfect Veil is a smart way to unlock his full potential more frequently.

With his A3, Shredder attacks all enemies while stealing all buffs from a single target, gaining 15% Turn Meter for each buff taken. The attack also ignores 15% Defence as well as Shield and Block Damage buffs – or 30% when he’s under Perfect Veil. Targeting the most heavily buffed enemy is the best way to cycle his skills more quickly, while also being an excellent counter to champions like Marichka and Odin.

His A2 is a double hit AoE that destroys enemy DEF by 5% per critical hit (up to 30%) while boosting his own HP by 5% (also up to 30%) and applying Leech to all enemies. Leech lets him recover health from the damage dealt, and in Shredder’s case, it helps him regain HP before his passive re-triggers when he loses 20% HP – activating his chance to Evade and enabling his Perfect Veil and True Fear for added control. This makes it a powerful skill for both weakening enemies and increasing Shredder’s own damage and sustain.

Additionally, his A1 ramps up with each hit – ignoring 5% of a target’s DEF and dealing 10% more C.DMG on the second hit, then 10% DEF and 20% more C.DMG on the third. This gives him solid single target damage while keeping with the scaling theme of his kit. Overall, Shredder is a durable damage dealer who can reduce incoming damage, redirect it across allies for protection, and use his Evade activations to apply key buffs and debuffs – making him both tanky and controlling while still delivering strong damage output.
