Skinwalkers
Skinwalkers is a faction that has drastically changed since the game first came out: what was once the weakest faction in the game has now become one of the strongest. This faction is very much defined by Sun Wukong and Marius the Gallant, two of the most OP damage dealers in the entire game–and both available for free to everyone!
For normal difficulty, the challenge is essentially keeping the rest of your team alive while Wukong kills everything. This faction, sadly, has many weak epics, so you’ll need to get lucky and pull good ones such as Steelskull or Yuzan the Marooned. The rare champion Gnarlhorn is the MVP of accessibility: with a 3-turn cooldown AoE Provoke (which isn’t affected by affinity), he brings better control than some factions’ legendaries do.
For hard difficulty, we expect the exact same challenges to apply: damage will be easy; surviving might be hard. Invest into your best Defensive Support champs–and maybe even build two Gnarlhorns!–and let Wukong and Marius shine.

Strengths
Wukong is still available for free for every new account
Marius is available for free for every late-game player
Genuinely great variety of legendary champions
Gnarlhorn is an insanely good rare
Weaknesses
If you didn’t use the Wukong promo code it will be much harder
A very lacklustre set of epics
Healers and revivers are sparse
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.
