RAID: Shadow Legends - Champion Buffs & Debuffs Explained

Buffs and debuffs are pivotal in shaping the outcome of battles within RAID: Shadow Legends, enhancing your team's prowess while weakening your adversaries. These effects are key to mastering both PvE and PvP combat, enabling you to strategize effectively and turn the tide of any confrontation.

Buffs: Strengthening Your Champions

Buffs amplify your champions' capabilities, fortifying them to be more resilient, powerful, and resistant to enemy assaults. They are essential for both offensive and defensive strategies, ensuring your team can endure longer and inflict greater damage.

• Increase ATK: Elevates the champion's Attack by 25% or 50%, amplifying their damage output.
• Increase DEF: Boosts Defense by 30% or 60%, mitigating incoming damage.
• Increase SPD: Accelerates a champion's turn meter by 15% or 30%, allowing for more frequent actions.
• Increase C. RATE: Enhances Critical Rate by 15% or 30%, increasing the likelihood of critical hits.
• Increase C. DMG: Amplifies Critical Damage by 15% or 30%, making critical hits more devastating.
• Increase ACC: Improves Accuracy by 25% or 50%, enhancing the success rate of applying debuffs.
• Increase RES: Increases Resistance by 25% or 50%, making it tougher for foes to inflict debuffs.

Debuffs: Weakening Your Enemies

Debuffs are tactical tools that can cripple your opponents by diminishing their stats or restricting their actions. They are crucial for gaining a strategic edge in battles.

Healing and buff prevention debuffs can thwart enemy recovery efforts:

• Heal Reduction: Diminishes healing effects by 50% or 100%, hindering health regeneration.
• Block Buffs: Prevents the target from receiving any buffs, neutralizing support effects.
• Block Revive: Stops the target from being revived if they perish while under this debuff.

Damage-over-time debuffs inflict continuous damage throughout the fight:

• Poison: Inflicts 2.5% or 5% of the target’s MAX HP as damage at the start of their turn.
• HP Burn: Causes the affected champion and their allies to suffer 3% MAX HP damage at the start of their turn. Only one HP Burn debuff can be active per champion.
• Poison Sensitivity: Amplifies damage from Poison debuffs by 25% or 50%.
• Bomb: Detonates after a set number of turns, dealing damage that bypasses defense.

Certain debuffs offer unique strategic advantages:

• Weaken: Increases the damage the target receives by 15% or 25%.
• Leech: Heals any champion attacking the afflicted enemy for 18% of the damage dealt.
• Hex: Causes the target to take additional damage when their allies are hit, ignoring DEF.

Effectively managing crowd control debuffs like Stun or Provoke can neutralize high-threat enemies, while strategically applying Block Buffs can dismantle defensive teams in PvP encounters.

Buffs and debuffs form the strategic backbone of RAID: Shadow Legends. Mastering their use can decisively influence whether you triumph or fall. Buffs bolster your team's strength and protection, whereas debuffs debilitate your enemies, leaving them exposed. A well-coordinated team leverages both to dominate the battlefield.
