RAID: Shadow Legends Champion Buffs and Debuffs Guide

Buffs and debuffs are pivotal in RAID: Shadow Legends battles. Buffs empower your team, while debuffs cripple enemies, impacting both PvE and PvP encounters. Strategic use of these effects can dramatically alter the fight's outcome.

Some effects are straightforward—increased attack or reduced defense—while others are more nuanced, such as preventing revives or forcing target prioritization. Let's explore common buffs and debuffs, their mechanics, and effective usage.

Buffs: Empowering Your Champions

Buffs significantly enhance champion abilities, bolstering their strength, durability, or resistance. Essential for offense and defense, they extend survival time and amplify damage output.

• Increase ATK: Boosts attack by 25% or 50%, increasing damage dealt.
• Increase DEF: Raises defense by 30% or 60%, reducing incoming damage.
• Increase SPD: Accelerates turn meter by 15% or 30%, increasing turn frequency.
• Increase C. RATE: Increases critical hit rate by 15% or 30%.
• Increase C. DMG: Raises critical damage by 15% or 30%.
• Increase ACC: Boosts accuracy by 25% or 50%, improving debuff application.
• Increase RES: Raises resistance by 25% or 50%, reducing debuff susceptibility.

Debuffs: Weakening Your Enemies

Healing and buff prevention debuffs disrupt enemy sustain:

• Heal Reduction: Reduces healing effects by 50% or 100%.
• Block Buffs: Prevents the target from receiving buffs.
• Block Revive: Prevents revival if the target is killed while the debuff is active.

Damage-over-time debuffs inflict continuous damage:

• Poison: Deals 2.5% or 5% of max HP as damage at the start of the target's turn.
• HP Burn: Deals 3% of max HP damage to the afflicted champion and allies at the start of their turn (one per champion).
• Poison Sensitivity: Increases poison damage taken by 25% or 50%.
• Bomb: Explodes after a set number of turns, dealing defense-ignoring damage.

Other debuffs offer unique utility:

• Weaken: Increases damage taken by 15% or 25%.
• Leech: Heals attackers for 18% of damage dealt to the affected enemy.
• Hex: Inflicts increased damage when allies are hit, ignoring defense.

Strategic debuff application, such as crowd control (Stun, Provoke) or Block Buffs, can significantly impact battle outcomes, especially in PvP.
