The Best Artifacts to Gear Your Champions in Raid: Shadow Legends!
This article is here to help you see what the best artifacts are to use in Raid: Shadow Legends!
When looking to gear your champions you need to check that the abilities your champions have include any debuffs which need accuracy.
Accuracy
This is the most important stat of the game with 95% of champs needing this. Accuracy will assist your champions hitting debuffs against enemy champions in arena, dungeon mobs, dungeon bosses and clan boss.
This stat is also essential for hitting decrease turn meter against enemies. This will be very helpful in completing dungeons and in beating arenas.
A helpful rule of thumb for getting enough accuracy in dungeons is to take the dungeon level and multiply it by 10.
Dungeon level x 10 = accuracy needed to hit the debuff.
How do we find all the accuracy we need on our artifacts?
You can find accuracy in each of the following:
- Sub stats – Finding these stats on each of your pieces of gear will boost your accuracy. Re-roll the gear to potentially get higher accuracy rolls.
- Banners – These are for champs who are level 60 and are fully ascended. These pieces of gear can hold accuracy as the primary stat and in the sub stats but using accuracy in the primary stat will give greater benefits.
- Masteries – Investing in the mastery scrolls will allow you to unlock different paths for your champions; some of these include boosting accuracy, so use your scrolls wisely and invest in accuracy when needed.
- Chest piece – This is a last case scenario, and, similar to the banner, you can have accuracy on the primary stat but it doesn’t require a certain ascension level to be able to use it. You should only use this if the others above are not an option. But it is better than no accuracy and a wasted champion who isn’t hitting the required debuffs.
Speed
Speed is the second-most essential stat needed to build on champions in Raid: Shadow Legends. It’s used in all areas of the game for any champion unless you’re speed tuning but more on that can be found in this video: https://youtu.be/RC6UH4VHyfM
Speed can be found in boots’ primary stat and in all sub stats.
95% of champions will use speed boots as a primary stat. There are certain exceptions, but it is very rare!
Rule of thumb: champions need a speed of 170+ to be viable at level 60.
Speed is so important in pvp as the more speed you have the more turns you will get to lap your opponent before they have their go.
Defence and HP
Defence and HP are the next best stat needed to gear your champions with – the longer you’re alive the more damage you will do! When gearing your champs for the Clanboss you need as much defence as possible! For inspiration check out my fully kitted Valk in the video.
For HP it is necessary when doing dungeon runs as the mobs will attack the lowest HP champion on your team so kitting certain champs strategically will help you beat some of the hardest dungeons.
Important notes
ASDD – accuracy, speed, defence and damage
Read abilities properly and understand your champions
Don’t waste stats
Best stats for primary stats:
- Chest – hp%
- Boots – speed
- Gloves – crit damage
To get crit rate find it on other gear in the secondary stats

Wow. Goddammit. Going to regear all my champs now.
Thank you so much! That video and explanation was exactly the info I needed to up my Raid game.
I am torn trying to go for set bonuses for stats vs. individual pieces. Let’s say you have a Dungeon Champion that needs HP. Do you use the Life Set with the set bonus even if the pieces may not have as much other (ASDD) stats than one piece of Accuracy, one piece of Speed, one piece of Life, etc., but you get NO set bonus? I realize if the set has what you need the added set bonus is best. As a ‘newish’ player I won’t/don’t have a ton to choose from and until you I can farm what I need, do I just put ANYTHING on that has the highest stat for what I want? Let’s say you have three pieces of accuracy and three pieces of speed gear or three accuracy, one speed, one life, two cruel. Also, do you try to put (for example) stun gear on those that cast stun or frost gear that cast freeze debuffs etc., even if the ASDD wouldn’t be quite as high, but you get the set bonus? I use to use another site for help, but yours seems to make more sense…thankz!! MizGail
Hi! Typically, unless you are building for a very specific purpose (like lifesteal for clan boss, or stun sets for AOE champs) you should always prioritize stats over set bonuses. Using a life set gives you an extra 15% for each set, but you may be able to get much more than 15% from a mismatched set with good sub stats.
Where can I find all these 6 star items? I can’t anything with these amazing stats. Where do I need to farm?
You will need to farm the higher levels (20+) of Fire Knight, Dragons Lair, Spider’s Den, And Ice Golem’s Peak to gain that level of artifacts.
which campaign can I acquire a rare shield from to fulfil my clan quest?
i guess it’ll come from stage 7, beat boss
As the rewards for most tournaments are Relentless, can you list champs that would mostly benefit from this bonus? I have a bunch of 6star epic and legendary that I could use but most set bonuses are always geared around life steal or speed, etc. Thanks in advance and great videos!
You said:
“Sub stats – Finding these stats on each of your pieces of gear will boost your accuracy. Re-roll the gear to potentially get higher accuracy rolls.”
Is there a way to reset the substats on a piece of gear? or do you mean get a new piece of gear instead?
Sorry for the late reply. On your artifact page there are three buttons on the right. Upgrade (Level up the gear), Enchant (Add glyphs), and Rework.
Rework allows you to reset the stats on the gear. There is a very good explanation of reworking here: https://hellhades.com/chaos-ore-guide-tips-tricks-and-how-not-to-waste/
Here is a video: https://youtu.be/bwL04Xqknyk
The video is a HellHades video.
I have the same question; how do you re-roll gear?
Does shield set stank with shield base mysteries from support line??
