Dwarves
The Dwarves faction is true to its stereotype: it’s small, but very strong. The faction numbers are padded by a large number of useless rare champions, but–since it’s one of the newer factions–it makes up for it with quality champions. Expect Dwarves to have strong defensive stats, but be generally lacking in speed and turn meter control.
For normal Faction wars, many strong epics can be used to build teams. Morag, unlocked for free from the Plarium Points Program, can be a core damage dealer for many teams, while also bringing survivability. Rock Breaker, Melga, and Dazdurk are also phenomenal epic options. Kurzad is a sneaky void rare who might be worth considering, bringing decent AoE damage and useful utility.
For hard faction wars, the biggest struggle will be dealing with high enemy speeds, since this faction is very lacking in speed control. There have been very few fusions or login champions for this faction as well, so the roster boss is another big obstacle. Building defensively and going slow is a viable option for many stages.

Unusually high defensive stats
Almost every epic is very useful
Free Morag from Plarium Points Program
Senna is a cheat code
Gnut will make quick work of bosses, if you did his fusion
Weaknesses
Small roster (rares are not worth using and pad it out)
Almost no turn meter or speed champions
Gronjarr is the only “free” legendary (and he sucks)
Generally low speeds
Faction Wars
We advise every player to try and progress in faction wars as soon as you can and even if you can only do early floors. Faction Wars rewards you with Forge Materials to craft artifact sets such as Perception and also incredibly valuable Glyphs which boost your sub stats on artifacts further than what you can roll.
Tier List
Faction Wars is often one of the most challenging areas of the game for players to progress when playing Raid: Shadow Legends. Often you are forced into choosing to invest in champions you might not otherwise invest to enable you to complete the faction. This comes with the difficult decision of who you should use. Our tier lists are designed to help you identify what the best champions are to fill the roles required to complete Faction Wars.
