Sylvan Watchers
Sylvan Watchers are the newest faction in Raid, but despite this they are a Plarium favourite and have already received more useful champions than several other factions! A small number of rares makes the faction appear relatively small, but the quality of the champions more than makes up for it. This faction has a lot of speed and offensive support but balances it out with limited control–though the Taunt buff was added alongside this faction and features on several champions.
For normal Faction wars, survivability and control will be the biggest challenges, since you likely have few legendaries. Shield sets, Stun sets, and perhaps investing in a good rare champion (such as Treeshield Knott) can help balance out these weaknesses. Keep an eye out for key epics such as Wyrennon, Criodan, and Daithi.
For hard difficulty, we expect similar challenges. Hopefully you will have pulled a Criodan by this point, who can can bring consistent control for waves. They also have a huge variety of viable options for offensive and defensive support amongst the legendaries, so a well-rounded team should come together relatively quickly. Players often feel this faction lacks accessible damage options, but even epics such as Daithi or Dyana are fantastic options.

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.
