RAID: Shadow Legends - Champion Buffs & Debuffs Explained

In RAID: Shadow Legends, buffs and debuffs are pivotal elements that can dramatically influence the outcome of battles, whether in PvE or PvP scenarios. Buffs bolster your team's capabilities, enhancing their strength, resilience, or agility, while debuffs impair opponents by diminishing their stats or constraining their actions. Mastering the strategic deployment of these effects is crucial for turning the tide in any confrontation.

Buffs: Strengthening Your Champions

Buffs are essential enhancements that amplify a champion's abilities, making them more formidable, durable, or resistant to enemy assaults. These boosts are integral to the combat dynamics of RAID: Shadow Legends, playing a vital role in both offensive and defensive strategies to help your team last longer and inflict more damage.

• Increase ATK: Enhances the champion’s Attack by 25% or 50%, boosting their damage output.
• Increase DEF: Elevates Defense by 30% or 60%, minimizing the damage received.
• Increase SPD: Accelerates a champion’s turn meter by 15% or 30%, enabling more frequent turns.
• Increase C. RATE: Boosts Critical Rate by 15% or 30%, heightening 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%, increasing the success rate of debuff application.
• Increase RES: Enhances Resistance by 25% or 50%, making it tougher for foes to impose debuffs.

Debuffs: Weakening Your Opponents

Debuffs are strategic tools that weaken enemies, either by reducing their stats or by limiting their actions. They can disrupt enemy formations and turn the battle in your favor.

Healing and Buff Prevention Debuffs

• Heal Reduction: Diminishes healing effects by 50% or 100%, hindering enemies' ability to recover HP.
• Block Buffs: Prevents the target from receiving any buffs, neutralizing both defensive and offensive support.
• Block Revive: Stops the target from being revived if killed while under the effect of this debuff.

Damage-over-Time Debuffs

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

Unique Mechanic Debuffs

• Weaken: Amplifies the damage the target receives by 15% or 25%.
• Leech: Allows any champion attacking the affected enemy to heal for 18% of the damage dealt.
• Hex: Causes the target to take additional damage when their allies are struck, ignoring DEF.

Debuffs can dramatically alter the course of a battle. Effective use of crowd control debuffs such as Stun or Provoke can neutralize high-threat enemies, while strategically applying Block Buffs can dismantle defensive strategies in PvP.

Buffs and debuffs form the cornerstone of strategy in RAID: Shadow Legends. Gaining proficiency in their application can mean the difference between triumph and defeat. Buffs fortify your team, keeping them robust and shielded, whereas debuffs debilitate adversaries, rendering them susceptible. A well-coordinated team leverages both to dominate the battlefield.
