Top 5 Champions To Dominate Early Game

Embarking on your Raid Shadow Legends journey can feel overwhelming, but fear not! YST has compiled a list of his top 5 accessible champions for early game. These powerful allies will help you conquer dungeon stages, climb the ranks in the arena, and make your game progression smoother. Although this list is focused on players in their first 30 days, these champions may also hold value in later game areas such as Secret Rooms, The Cursed City, and Faction Wars. It’s worth noting that if you summon a higher-tier champion from shards with similar abilities, it may be beneficial to prioritize them for greater value.

HIGH KHATUN

High Khatun is a valuable epic champion in Raid: Shadow Legends, rewarded for free as a daily login champion on day 30. As a speed manipulator, High Khatun fills the Turn Meters of all allies, places an Increase Speed buff on them, and can decrease the Turn Meter of enemies. This powerful combination allows you to outpace opponents in the Arena, unleashing your skills before they can, provided you are faster than the enemy team.

High Khatun is also effective for progressing through areas such as the Fire Knight, thanks to her Decrease Speed Debuff that slows down the boss. Additionally, her universal speed aura can be used in any part of the game, enhancing your team’s overall speed.

KAEL

Kael is arguably the best rare starter champion in Raid, renowned for his powerful Poison Debuffs. These poisons are highly effective against the Demon Lord Clan Boss, as well as encounters such as the Dragon, the normal Ice Golem, and various Doom Tower bosses. Additionally, Kael is an efficient campaign farmer, perfect for levelling up your champions, and his AOE attack is excellent for arena progression to nuke enemies.

WARMAIDEN

Warmaiden, a rare champion from the Barbarians faction, is known for her Decrease Defence ability. This effect significantly boosts your damage output against bosses, Arena enemies, and PvE waves, making her a valuable addition to any team lacking defence reduction. Players can easily farm multiple copies of her in the Deadlands campaign, allowing you to upgrade her skills while simultaneously farming XP for other champions.

ARMIGER

Armiger, an Uncommon champion from the Sacred Order faction, is easily obtainable from Mystery Shards or the marketplace. Like Warmaiden, you can use duplicate copies to upgrade his skills without the need for rare books. Armiger excels in Turn Meter control, making him highly effective against bosses like the Spider and Fire Knight. His utility extends to late-game encounters such as the Scarab King and Dark Fae. To enable his Turn Meter reduction, ensure he has 100% Critical Rate and sufficient Accuracy to consistently land his hits.

Additionally, Armiger can deal substantial damage to bosses with his defensive MAX HP nuke. His ability to Block Revives is particularly useful against enemies like the Ice Golem’s minions, preventing them from returning to the fight.

SPIRITHOST

Spirithost, a rare champion from the Durham Forest campaign, is an excellent champion to keep an eye out for. Easily farmable, she allows you to upgrade her skills without using rare books, making her a cost-effective choice for any player. Spirithost excels as a cleanser and damage setup option, particularly in the Arena.

When ascended, Spirithost provides the greater variation of Increase Attack and can Remove all Debuffs from allies, followed by placing a Block Debuffs buff, ensuring your team remains protected from negative effects. A powerful Arena combination could be boosting with High Khatun, increasing attack with Spirithost, decreasing defense with Warmaiden, and then unleashing your damage dealer. This strategy is especially useful for starter players aiming to climb the ranks without needing to rank Spirithost to six stars, provided she is built with sufficient speed.

Beyond the Arena, Spirithost is effective for cleansing Poison Debuffs from the Dragon, supporting in Faction Wars progression, and countering enemy Debuffs in various scenarios.

PROMO CODE / LINK CODE CHAMPIONS

Raid: Shadow Legends occasionally offers free Legendary and Epic champions through daily login programs and promo codes. These champions can be game-changers, so keep an eye out for active starter promo codes or take advantage of new releases to get the best possible start in the game.

Unlocking Ninja's Full Potential

FAVOURITE LINK CODE COMBINATION: RECTOR DRATH & TAYREL

Rector Drath provides excellent team support with her Perfect Veil, healing, and revival skills. She doesn’t only protect allies but also grants heals, while her revival ensures that fallen allies are brought back into the fight, making her invaluable in Faction Wars.

Tayrel offers an AOE Decrease Defence Debuff and brings a Decrease Attack Debuff with his A1 skill, making him particularly effective against the Clan Boss. This combination reduces enemy defences, allowing your team to deal more damage, and weakens enemy attacks, enhancing your team’s survivability.

FAVOURITE EPIC PROMO CODE CHAMPIONS

Deacon Armstrong

A versatile Debuffer and turn meter manipulator, Deacon Armstrong brings strong utility to your team. He provides Leech, allowing your allies to heal by the damage they inflict, and his AOE Decrease Defence Debuff boosts your team’s damage output. Deacon is also great for Arena, helping to control enemies and set up your damage dealer for a nuke.

alure

Alure

Arguably the best epic champion for controlling bosses, particularly the Dark Fae and the Fire Knight. Her A1 skill is a game-changer, continuously reducing the enemy’s turn meter. The best part about Alure is that her highlight skill doesn’t require skill tomes to be effective, making her a highly efficient choice for any player looking to control these bosses.

NINJA HAS RETURNED

Ninja has been re released for a limited time for existing players who wasn’t around to claim him in 2021, and also for new players coming into the game. This legendary is a powerful Burn detonator, excelling in areas such as the Dragon, Hydra, Clan Boss and more. Ninja’s unique passive ability distinguishes him by allowing his Attack and Critical Damage stats to increase by up to 100% and 25%, respectively. This boost occurs at varying rates for champions and bosses, but after Ninja has used each ability on a boss five times, his stats remain fully enhanced for the rest of the fight.
