Welcome, summoners! Today, we're diving deep into the explosive potential of <a href="https://raidhq.gg/raid/champions/souldrinker" target="_blank">Souldrinker</a>, the Demonspawn Epic champion who brings a unique and entertaining bomb mechanic to your roster. Whether you're looking to obliterate your enemies with well-timed detonations or unleash significant damage through his nuking abilities, this guide will equip you with everything you need to know about building and mastering Souldrinker. <a href="https://youtu.be/_xikCT_dAEA" target="_blank"><img src="https://api.flotiq.com/image/0x0/_media-671b0c85-c472-47b6-a3f8-7a0ad311c674.PNG" title="Souldrinker" alt="Souldrinker" style="width: 800px; height: 471px; display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"></a> Skills Overview Souldrinker’s kit revolves around bomb debuffs and big nukes, making him a versatile champion for both PvE and PvP content. Here’s a breakdown of his skills: A1 – Razing Hand: Attacks one enemy and decreases bomb debuff detonation countdown by 1 turn. This ability shines when used with counterattack gear, as each proc brings your bombs closer to exploding. A2 – Raining Fire: A 5-turn cooldown attack (when booked) that hits three random targets, reducing bomb debuff detonation countdown by 1 turn per hit. This skill pairs well with single-target bomb setups, especially against bosses. A3 – Magma Blast: Places two bomb debuffs on all enemies that detonate after 3 turns (when booked). This is your primary bomb application skill, boasting a high multiplier that can devastate unprepared foes. Passive – Set Ablaze: Places two bomb debuffs on all enemies that detonate after 2 turns when Souldrinker dies. This passive creates opportunities for strategic revives, making him a nightmare for enemies who can't handle bomb debuffs. ### Gear Recommendations fpr Souldrinker You have two main approaches to gearing Souldrinker: a nuker build for PvP and a bomb-focused build for PvE content like Doom Tower and dungeons. Nuker Build (PvP Focus) Savage: Ideal for ignoring a large portion of the enemy's defense, significantly increasing Souldrinker’s damage output in the arena. Cruel: Provides extra attack and ignores a small percentage of enemy defense, complementing the Savage set. Primary Stats Weapon: Attack (for raw damage) Helmet: HP (to boost survivability) Shield: Defense (for added durability) Gauntlets: Crit Damage (to maximize nuking potential) Chest: Attack Percentage (boosts overall damage output) Boots: Speed (to ensure Souldrinker gets his turn quickly) Substats to Focus: Attack %, Crit Rate, Crit Damage, Speed, Accuracy It’s crucial to hit 100% crit rate for consistent nuking. With the Savage set, adding Cruel gear is an excellent choice if you have good rolls on crit rate and damage. Bomb Focus Build (PvE &amp; Doom Tower) Perception: Increases accuracy and speed, perfect for landing bombs consistently. Accuracy: Ensures Souldrinker’s bombs land on high-resistance enemies, crucial for higher-tier Doom Tower content. Speed: Helps Souldrinker take more turns and manage bomb countdowns efficiently. Primary Stats Weapon: Attack (for overall damage) Helmet: HP (for survivability) Shield: Defense (for durability) Gauntlets: Attack Percentage (if focusing purely on bomb damage) Chest: Accuracy (for consistent bomb placement) Boots: Speed (to ensure he takes turns efficiently) Substats to Focus: Accuracy, Attack %, Speed, Crit Rate This setup ensures Souldrinker lands bombs reliably and quickly reduces their detonation timers. Alternate Gear Considerations Perception Gear: If you’re struggling to hit high accuracy benchmarks for Platinum Arena or tough PvE bosses, this set is a solid option, providing both speed and accuracy. Feral Gear: This can be used for hybrid builds, boosting both offense and accuracy if you have access to it. Mastery Guide Offense Tree Tier 1: Deadly Precision, Heart of Glory Tier 2: Single Out, Life Drinker Tier 3: Wrath of the Slain, Cycle of Violence Tier 4: Kill Streak, Helm Smasher (for nuking builds) Support Tree Tier 1: Pinpoint Accuracy, Charged Focus Tier 2: Swarm Smiter, Lore of Steel Tier 3: Cycle of Magic, Sniper Tier 4: Eagle Eye (for increased accuracy) If you’re focusing solely on bombs, prioritize masteries that boost accuracy and cooldown reduction. <a href="https://raidhq.gg/raid/blessing" target="_blank">Blessings</a> for Souldrinker Cruelty: Reduces enemy defense and pairs well with a nuking build. Phantom Touch: Provides extra damage that scales off attack, complementing bomb damage. Best Team Compositions Arena Nuker Team Setup: Use champions like Arbiter (for speed boost and revive) and Yoshi the Drunkard (for increased accuracy and attack buffs) to set up Souldrinker’s bombs. Combos: Use his A3 for AoE bomb placement, followed by support champions to control the enemy team or increase detonation speed. Doom Tower &amp; Boss Teams Setup: Pair him with counterattack champions like Martyr or Valkyrie to accelerate bomb detonation. You can also consider using debuff extenders like Vizier Ovelis to keep bombs active longer. Combos: Focus on reducing bomb timers quickly to melt down tough enemies. Conclusion Souldrinker is a fun and dynamic Epic champion who can turn the tide of battle with his unique bomb mechanics. While he may not be the most consistent bomber due to his stats, his flexibility as a nuker and his death bomb setup make him a great choice for creative strategies in both PvE and PvP. Have fun experimenting, and may your bombs always explode at the right time!&nbsp;

Souldrinker: Bombs & Big Nukes (Build & Guide)

Are you ready to take your <a href="https://www.raidshadowlegends.com" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Raid: Shadow Legends</a> game to the next level? Today, we’re diving deep into the explosive power of <a href="https://raidhq.gg/raid/articles/gnishak-world-record-bommal-hard-90-build-guide" target="_blank">Gnishak Verminlord</a>, one of the most underrated bombers in the game. Whether you're clearing waves, tackling difficult bosses, or dominating the Arena, this build will ensure <a href="https://raidhq.gg/raid/articles/gnishak-verminlord-solo-dragon-25-build-guide" target="_blank">Gnishak</a> performs at his best. <a href="https://youtu.be/xIIc0VjIy9s" target="_blank"><img src="https://api.flotiq.com/image/0x0/_media-1b9f39fe-ca73-4c14-a29c-48b9ee608b1f.PNG" title="Gnishak Verminlord" alt="Gnishak Verminlord" style="width: 800px; height: 470px; display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"></a> Skills Overview <a href="https://raidhq.gg/raid/champions/gnishak-verminlord" target="_blank">Gnishak Verminlord</a> brings a unique bomb mechanic to the table that sets him apart in the current meta. Let’s break down his abilities and how to maximize them: A1 - Rat Plague Each time one of his bombs detonates or is removed, Gnishak places two 5% poison debuffs on all enemies for two turns. These poisons are protected, adding extra consistent damage. A2 - Verminlord’s Command Attacks all enemies with a 75% chance of placing a 50% decrease attack debuff for two turns. Additionally, it decreases the detonation countdown of bombs by one turn and extends poison debuffs, allowing faster and more effective damage. A3 - Unclean Banquet His signature skill, attacking all enemies and placing two bombs for two turns with a 75% chance. Gnishak then gains an extra turn, making this ability lethal when paired with proper timing. Passive - Rat Plague Every time a bomb detonates or is removed, two 5% poison debuffs are inflicted for two turns. This skill amplifies the chaos he brings to the battlefield. Aura Increases ally attack in all battles by 30%, making him a solid choice as a lead for boosting damage output across your team. Gear Setup for Gnishak Verminlord For Gnishak to excel, especially in end-game content, a strategic gear setup is essential. Ash emphasizes the importance of building Gnishak with a focus on attack, speed, and accuracy to ensure his bombs land and detonate efficiently. Let’s break down the complete details. Recommended Gear Sets Stoneskin (4-piece) A must-have set for survivability in the Arena. Stoneskin gives Gnishak protection from early damage and debuffs, ensuring he stays alive long enough to unleash his bomb attacks. Pinpoint (2-piece) This set provides critical boosts to speed and accuracy, both necessary for bombers. Speed helps Gnishak take turns quickly, and accuracy ensures his bombs land on enemies. Feral (1-piece) This single-piece set grants an additional 40 accuracy. It's highly valuable for hitting accuracy thresholds, especially in end-game battles. Stat Priorities Attack: Bomb damage scales with attack, so prioritize high attack percentages on gauntlets, chest pieces, and accessories. Speed: Equip speed boots to keep Gnishak quick on his feet and capable of cycling through his abilities. Accuracy: Use an accuracy banner and seek accuracy sub-stats on gear to ensure Gnishak’s bombs land on high-resistance opponents. Gear Optimization Tip Even in the late game, prioritize high stats over set bonuses when necessary. This means using powerful sets like Stoneskin or Pinpoint but being willing to sacrifice set bonuses if it results in better overall stats. Masteries for Gnishak Verminlord The goal is to boost bomb damage while ensuring Gnishak has the necessary accuracy and cooldown reduction to cycle through his abilities quickly. Offense Tree Deadly Precision: Increases crit rate. While bombs don't rely on crit rate, this is helpful for Gnishak’s direct attacks. Heart of Glory: Boosts damage when Gnishak is at full HP, which is useful for maximizing his AOE bomb damage. Wrath of the Slain: Increases damage when allies have died, making Gnishak more effective in longer or tougher battles. Cycle of Violence: A key mastery that gives a chance to reduce skill cooldowns when dealing high damage. This is critical for bombers like Gnishak, allowing him to reset his bomb abilities more frequently. Bring It Down: Boosts damage against enemies with higher max HP, making Gnishak more effective in PvE scenarios like boss fights. Methodical: Increases the damage dealt by Gnishak’s default skill, *Rat Plague*, each time it is used. War Master: This is the ideal choice for PvE content, providing bonus damage based on enemy max HP. It’s especially effective against high-HP bosses like Bommal. Support Tree Pinpoint Accuracy: Provides additional accuracy, which is essential for landing bombs reliably. Charged Focus: Increases accuracy when no skills are on cooldown, which is useful for setting up bomb attacks early in the fight. Swarm Smiter: Gives extra accuracy when fighting more enemies, making it useful in wave content and Arena battles. Lore of Steel: Boosts the effectiveness of set bonuses, adding extra speed or accuracy based on the gear sets equipped. Evil Eye: Reduces enemy turn meter when using his default skill. While not bomb-specific, it adds utility in controlling the enemy. Sniper: Increases the chance of placing debuffs, which is beneficial for ensuring bombs and poisons land successfully. Eagle Eye: Grants a significant accuracy boost, helping Gnishak hit the high accuracy requirements needed in the end game. Mastery Strategy Tip Gnishak’s build benefits greatly from the&nbsp;Cycle of Violence mastery, as it gives him a chance to cycle his skills faster. This is crucial for bomb setups, especially in drawn-out fights or when facing high-HP bosses. &nbsp;<a href="https://raidhq.gg/raid/blessing" target="_blank">Blessings</a> for Gnishak Verminlord Blessings can give Gnishak an extra edge in both PvE and PvP content. While there are a few options, the primary focus is on blessings that enhance his bomb and poison capabilities or improve his team’s overall effectiveness. Recommended Blessings Life Harvest Effect: When enemies are revived, Gnishak harvests a portion of their HP, turning it into damage. This is particularly effective in Arena, where enemy revives are common. Why we recommend&nbsp;it: Life Harvest synergizes well with Gnishak’s bomb strategy, especially when dealing with revive-heavy teams. It allows him to punish teams that rely on reviving allies, giving your team an advantage. Intimidating Presence Effect: Enhances the strength of your team's aura while reducing enemy aura effectiveness. Why It’s Useful: This blessing boosts Gnishak’s aura, which increases ally attack in all battles. It also weakens the enemy’s aura, giving your team a better chance to secure victories in the Arena and harder PvE stages. Lightning Cage Effect: Protects Gnishak by absorbing and storing some of the damage he takes, releasing it back to enemies. Why It’s a Consideration: Although less common, Lightning Cage can provide Gnishak with additional survivability in drawn-out battles, making it a niche but potentially valuable option in certain setups. Blessing Tip Life Harvest is our top pick, especially for Arena content, as it disrupts enemy strategies that rely on reviving key champions. Meanwhile, Intimidating Presence can be a solid choice for players looking to maximize Gnishak’s aura and give their team a competitive edge. Gnishak Verminlord Lore The saga of the Verminlord and the Breaker has become a staple in every alehouse and bard’s college across Teleria. The truth of the story is thus all the more obscure, and buried in one of the darkest chapters in the history of the Free City of Arnoc. In the Age of Treachery the rate of Skinwalker awakenings exploded, and the resulting turmoil nearly ended the history of Kaerok before it began. The period suffers from a lack of hard historical evidence and first-hand accounts, as is so often the case in times of great crisis—few&nbsp;had time to record the ravages unfolding around them, and fewer still possessed the will to honestly and accurately describe the gruesome truths. In the case of Gnishak, it is indisputable that a noble prince became a monstrous menace. But the house of his provenance, his lineage or surviving relations, his siblings, his issue, all go historically unrecorded. This is highly unusual for a nobleman of Kaerok. Even in periods of great upheaval, they were and are careful to preserve such information, for it is the source of much of their legitimacy and thus their power. This suggests that the relevant information was purged deliberately, perhaps to protect the dignity of those related to the fallen Skinwalker-prince. This omission allowed the Verminlord to become iconic, a stand-in for every corrupt and petty overlord who lacked empathy for lesser beings, making the story all the more popular as it spread. In the tale, Gnishak casually kills a rat underfoot and is cursed by its vengeful spirit. Many hearers wished similar vengeance upon one lord or another. Some felt as if they were the ‘rats’ in the story themselves, or their friends, or relatives, all feeling crushed under a noble boot. After his transformation, Gnishak disappeared into the sewers and quietly grew his festering power in the depths for thirteen long years. Out of sight and out of mind as more overt Skinwalkers wrought havoc above, Gnishak cultivated mastery over the swarms of rats he would have once disdained. Another tale of a deadly ‘Rat-man,’ the wandering killer Sniktraak—who also attracted and exploited a swarm of rats—is often conflated with the Verminlord narrative. But where Sniktraak was an impoverished peasant who killed rats to make ends meet, Gnishak was a petty princeling who killed casually while dreaming of greatness. Correspondingly, where Sniktraak’s horde was a crawling, chaotic manifestation of their master’s torment and madness, the legendary swarm of the Verminlord was an army of soldiers wielded by a mad monarch. Gnishak coveted the vast demesne and legions of followers he always felt he deserved, and he carefully directed his growing rat army to gnaw out a vast and impenetrable lair for him, enlarging and augmenting swathes of the sewers of Arnoc into his personal castle. He even dressed his bloated, hairy form in the fine clothing he had taken with him after his flight, and had new and hideous adornments made for him to match his delusional new title of lordship. Then, when the time was right and all of Arnoc was gathering in dense crowds to celebrate the holy lights of the Yuletide festival, Gnishak unleashed a long-plotted act of terror against the surface-world. Boiling up from the grates and dripping hosepipes, pouring from every opening of building after building as each was overrun in turn, the rat-tide he unleashed was hideous to behold, all the more so for the vile pestilence that coursed in their diseased veins. Each one was laden with grotesque pustules that spread a pox the likes of which no healer on the face of Teleria had ever witnessed. Had Gnishak found a way to manipulate the forces of plague and pestilence, or had the virus simply developed within his swarm on its own? No one knows for sure, though it was said that the plague had a fell tenacity and almost living will as it wracked its victims. Most folk believe the Verminlord’s Plague originated with the Verminlord himself, and that he poured into it all his malice and spite and his urge to debase all that was upright and wholesome. No remedy, whether poultice or potion or purifying magic, could do more than slow a victim’s doom and prolong the agony. There could be only one solution: the eradication of the swarm and its terrible source alike. As brave citizens battled the rats with torches, spears, and bullwhips, one spotted the Rat-King himself returning to his subterranean lair after a brief sortie. This man, a professional rat-catcher in many tellings of the tale, presented this evidence to Arnoc’s council of burghers, who were aghast to learn that Gnishak had been lurking below their feet all along. This set the stage for the rise of Georgid the Breaker. Conclusion Gnishak Verminlord is an explosive addition to any team, excelling in both PvE and PvP scenarios. His bomb mechanics, paired with poison debuffs, make him a versatile damage dealer. With the right gear, masteries, and blessings, he can clear waves, obliterate bosses, and dominate the Arena meta. Don’t underestimate the power of this rat king—he's built to decimate! Ready to unleash the chaos? Build your Gnishak and let the bombs fly!

Master the End Game with Gnishak Verminlord - Build & Guide

<a href="https://raidhq.gg/raid/champions/gamuran" target="_blank">Gamuran</a>, the Shadowkin Support Champion, has often flown under the radar in <a href="https://www.raidshadowlegends.com" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">RAID: Shadow Legends</a>. However, with the right strategy, gear, masteries, and blessings, he can be a game-changer, especially in both Arena and PvE settings. Let's dive into what makes Gamuran a unique and versatile champion. <a href="https://youtu.be/45470H_Ezw8" target="_blank"><img src="https://api.flotiq.com/image/0x0/_media-d6150783-6d4c-4d57-ba00-4675666bfd9f.PNG" title="Gamuran" alt="Gamuran" style="width: 800px; height: 469px; display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"></a> Gamuran’s Skills Overview Seal Scroll (A1) Description: Attacks one enemy twice. Each hit has a 30% chance (up to 50% when fully booked) of placing a [Block Active Skills] debuff for 1 turn. Utility: A reliable debuff to disable enemy abilities, especially crucial in countering champions with dangerous skill sets. Thief of Blood (A2) Description: Attacks all enemies, with an 80% chance of stealing one random buff from each enemy. After stealing, spreads a random buff from Gamuran to all allies. Cooldown: 4 turns (3 turns when fully booked) Utility: Effective for stripping Stone Skin and other protective buffs, making it a versatile AOE skill. The buff spread ensures our team gains extra survivability or offensive boosts. Dread Invocation (A3) Description: Can target either dead or living enemies: If targeting a dead enemy: Places a [Block Revive] debuff on them and then attacks all enemies. The attack ignores 100% DEF and [Shield] buffs, dealing damage based on HP. If targeting a living enemy: Places an unresistable [True Fear] debuff for 2 turns and heals all allies based on enemy MAX HP. Cooldown: 6 turns (4 turns when fully booked) Utility: A powerful control tool, making it a nightmare for teams that rely on revivers or shielding abilities. The True Fear aspect adds a layer of control against living enemies. Soul Charge (Passive) Description: Revives one random ally with 30% HP and 30% Turn Meter whenever an enemy dies. Doesn’t activate if the enemy is killed by [Poison], [HP Burn], [Bomb] debuffs, or [Reflect Damage]. Cooldown: 2 turns (1 turn when booked) Utility: Provides consistent revives, adding survivability to our team in prolonged battles. Gear Recommendations for Gamuran Primary Gear Sets Stone Skin This set is ideal for Gamuran, especially in Arena, where initial protection from nukes is crucial. Running a 4-piece or even a 6-piece Stone Skin set provides Gamuran with extra survivability and prevents him from being easily burst down by enemy attacks. Perception A great option to boost Gamuran’s accuracy, ensuring his debuffs land more reliably. Combining Perception with Stone Skin ensures he has both survivability and the accuracy needed for control. Alternative Gear Considerations Immortal If you’re using Gamuran in PvE content where healing is valuable, an Immortal set can give him a steady HP recovery while boosting his overall HP. Relentless For those who want to see Gamuran take more turns and continuously apply debuffs, Relentless can be an interesting option, though it requires careful stat balancing. Stat Priorities To get the most out of Gamuran, you’ll want to focus on the following primary and substats: Accuracy: This is the top priority for Gamuran to ensure his debuffs, like Block Active Skills and Buff Steal, are landing on enemies. Ideally, aim for 540+ accuracy for end-game content. Speed: Gamuran should be fast enough to control the battlefield and disrupt the enemy before they can act. Speed boots are essential. HP &amp; Defense: Since Gamuran is a support champion who doesn’t deal much damage, we’ll want to make him as tanky as possible. HP and Defense help him survive longer and provide more utility. Resistance: If you can afford it without sacrificing other important stats, a decent amount of resistance can make Gamuran harder to control. Masteries for Gamuran Support Tree Masteries Steadfast: Increases Gamuran’s HP, giving him extra durability. Pinpoint Accuracy: Adds more accuracy, essential for landing debuffs. Charged Focus: Boosts accuracy when Gamuran has no active buffs, useful at the start of a battle. Swarm Smiter: Increases accuracy when facing multiple enemies, ideal for PvE content. Lore of Steel: Enhances set bonuses like Stone Skin and Perception, making them more effective. Cycle of Magic: A chance to reduce cooldowns, perfect for faster ability rotations. Sniper: Boosts the chance of placing debuffs, making Gamuran’s A1 more consistent. Master Hexer: Extends the duration of debuffs, like Block Active Skills, for increased control.&nbsp; Defense Tree Masteries Tough Skin: Adds defense, making Gamuran tankier. Blastproof: Reduces damage taken from AoE attacks, useful in Arena. Rejuvenation: Enhances healing received, providing more sustain. Delay Death: Reduces incoming damage, boosting survivability. Retribution: Grants a chance to counterattack when damaged, giving Gamuran extra chances to block active skills. Deterrence: A chance to counterattack when an ally is targeted with a debuff, further disrupting enemy strategies. It is important to not copy masteries blindly. Instead, players should adjust based on their available gear and how you plan to use Gamuran. <a href="https://raidhq.gg/raid/blessing" target="_blank">Blessings</a> for Gamuran Lightning Cage If you manage to awaken Gamuran, Lightning Cage is a strong choice. It provides lightning charges that absorb damage and increase Gamuran's survivability. This synergizes well with his role as a disruptive, utility-focused champion. Temporal Chains Another viable option, especially in Arena. Temporal Chains slows down enemy champions whenever Gamuran or his allies take turns. This fits his control-based playstyle and helps maintain the upper hand in battle. Select blessings that either boost his survivability or enhance his control abilities. Both Lightning Cage and Temporal Chains are excellent depending on your focus. Gamuran Lore Before they were known as Shadowkin, the Dawnlanders of Yakai were made up of many different clans, each with their own hierarchy and ruler. In this regimented society, ceremonies, such as marriages, funerals, and festivals, played an important role in maintaining social harmony. As such, their various rules were strictly enforced, and to break them incurred the most severe of punishments. So it was in the case of Gamuran, the lowly stable boy caught gazing upon his lord’s daughter on the day of her wedding. For his transgression, his eyes were put out, so that they may never again look upon that which they were not worthy to see. Left scarred and furious at his treatment, hatred toward the rulers of Yakai grew in Gamuran’s heart. When the Demonspawn ushered in the age of the Mikage Autocracy, he was one of the first mortals to pledge themselves to Siroth. Though he wished for his sight to be restored in his ascendance to Demonhood, he was bestowed with a gift far greater: the ability to see one’s strength of conviction. This Demonic power made him invaluable to the Mikage, as in an instant he would know whether an individual could be turned to their cause or trusted. He became a judge, jury, and executioner of the regime, and countless prisoners&nbsp;were brought to him one by one to determine whether or not they could be of use. Thousands died on Gamuran’s command, but many more lived, as he saw the weakness in their will that would lead to their servitude. As the Mikage’s power grew, so too did Gamuran’s, and he rose to become a highly senior figure. Weaponizing his gifts in order to gain more influence, he falsely asserted a lack of conviction in his rivals to ruthlessly dispose of any who might challenge him. At the height of the Mikage regime, Gamuran was among the most powerful beings in all of Yakai, a far cry from the lowly stable boy who was blinded for daring to gaze upon a noble’s daughter. After the fall of the Mikage, Gamuran was unrepentant. Unwilling to give up the power he had claimed, he continued his work for Siroth with renewed vigor. Taking his most loyal followers and fleeing the reach of the insurgent rebels, he began to build a new order. He knew there would be many across Yakai who felt lost and confused after the destruction of the Autocracy, and who did not trust the new rebel leadership. Preying upon these insecurities, and using his Demonic gift to find those who could most easily be manipulated, Gamuran formed a cult around himself. Its numbers swelled to thousands as people were drawn to his preaching, finding solace in his explanation of how they had been failed by the rebels, and how none but him could see the true direction of where their society was heading. Throughout Yakai, word spread underground of the vitriolic speaker around whom the shunned and forgotten coalesced, a leader bent on ridding the region of the rebel sickness. This was the birth of the Fellowship of Truesight. Building the cult firmly in his own image, Gamuran commanded that all who would follow him must partake in the ritual removal of their eyes, so as to ‘better see the truth’. While he has far greater ambitions that concern regions beyond even the borders of Yakai, for now, Gamuran must contend with survival. Fearful of both the rebels and fellow exiled Mikage who remember his scheming, he keeps his Fellowship of Truesight relatively hidden, skulking among the shadows, recruiting those who feel at a loss in this new world. As his army of blinded followers grows, Gamuran plots, and waits for the opportunity to restore himself to power in Yakai. When he feels he has a number truly capable of challenging the rebel leadership, and subjugating any remaining Mikage Demonspawn who would dare defy him, he will present his army to Siroth, and ask for gifts and reinforcements to aid him in his ascension. With an army of devout Demonic followers that Siroth could provide, all in Yakai will surely fall to his will, and those who will not serve him will be slaughtered. Perhaps then, when he has a whole nation at his mercy, the lowly stable boy who was brutally punished for daring to act above his station will finally feel his need for power has been satisfied. Conclusion Gamuran might not deal massive damage, but his ability to control and disrupt enemy teams makes him an exceptional utility champion. If you’re looking for an off-meta pick to surprise your opponents or need a reliable support for PvE, Gamuran is worth the investment.

Gamuran End Game Guide: Build, Masteries, & Strategy

<a href="https://raidhq.gg/raid/champions/krok-mar-the-devourer" target="_blank">Krok'mar the Devourer</a> is a standout Legendary HP Champion from the Lizardmen faction in <a href="https://www.raidshadowlegends.com" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">RAID: Shadow Legends</a>. With his unique mix of powerful AoE attacks, impressive self-healing, and utility through debuffs, he is a top pick for both PvE and PvP encounters. Let’s explore the optimal build and setup to unlock Krok'mar’s full potential! <a href="https://youtu.be/rlBObRm3u-8" target="_blank"><img src="https://api.flotiq.com/image/0x0/_media-0f3ff220-c98d-4ff0-ae62-a1c2de7afeeb.PNG" title="Krok'mar the Devourer" alt="Krok'mar the Devourer" style="width: 800px; height: 469px; display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"></a> Skills Overview Krok'mar’s skill set is built to deal damage, sustain himself, and debuff enemies, making him an invaluable asset in multiple game modes. Here’s a breakdown of each skill: A1: Meat Splitter Attacks a single enemy and, if this hit is critical, follows up with an AoE attack. This skill scales with Krok'mar’s HP, making him a durable yet dangerous presence on the battlefield. For best results, ensure a 100% crit rate for maximum AoE uptime. A2: Gnashing Bog A three-turn cooldown (when booked) AoE attack that places a shield on Krok'mar equal to 20% of the damage dealt. Additionally, it heals him by 10% of his max HP per critical hit, making him exceptionally self-sufficient. This skill shines in wave-heavy PvE content, keeping Krok'mar tanky and dealing solid AoE damage. A3: Apex Predator Buffs all allies with a 30% crit rate and 30% crit damage for three turns, then grants Krok'mar an extra turn. This ability ensures that Krok'mar’s crit rate remains high, even allowing lower-crit-rate allies to reach optimal levels, making it a versatile addition for both offensive and support roles. Passive: Voracious Hunger Each time Krok'mar attacks, he reduces the target’s attack or defense by 5%, as well as their accuracy or resistance by 5%, depending on their highest stat. This debuff stacks up to 30%, making Krok'mar a strong asset for debuff-heavy team compositions. Recommended Gear Sets Selecting the right gear is essential to maximizing Krok'mar’s potential as a durable and effective damage dealer. Here are some recommended gear setups based on his skillset and role: Stun Set – Best for wave content in Faction Wars or Doom Tower, allowing Krok'mar to control enemies while dealing heavy damage. This setup is ideal if you aim to use him as a crowd control specialist. Lethal or Savage Set – If focusing on PvP or boss encounters, these sets provide substantial damage by bypassing a portion of the enemy’s defense. They are perfect for maximizing Krok'mar’s AoE potential and his one-on-one damage. Immortal Set – For PvE encounters that require more sustain, the Immortal set gives Krok'mar extra HP and healing, bolstering his survivability in longer fights like Ice Golem or Hydra battles. Guardian Set – A niche choice, but it allows Krok'mar to become a true tank by absorbing more damage. This is useful for PvE, where you want him to tank for other squishier allies. Masteries for Krok'mar the Devourer For Krok'mar, the mastery tree setup focuses on enhancing both his offensive capabilities and his survivability: Offense Tree Tier 1: Deadly Precision (Crit Rate) Tier 2: Heart of Glory (Increased damage while above 50% HP) Tier 3: Single Out (Increased damage to enemies with less than 40% HP) Tier 4: Life Drinker (Heals by 5% of damage inflicted while below 50% HP) Tier 5: Bring It Down (Increases damage inflicted by 6% against targets with higher max HP) Tier 6: War Master (Chance to deal bonus damage based on enemy max HP) – Ideal for PvE bosses and prolonged fights. Support Tree Tier 1: Pinpoint Accuracy (Increases accuracy) Tier 2: Charged Focus (Increases accuracy when no skills are on cooldown) Tier 3: Cycle of Magic (Chance to reduce cooldown of a random skill) Tier 4: Lore of Steel (Enhances bonus from equipped Sets) Tier 5: Master Hexer (Extends the duration of any debuffs cast by this Champion) Fearsome Presence: Adds a chance of placing a stun when Krok'mar is in a Stun Set, significantly increasing his ability to control waves in PvE content. This mastery setup amplifies Krok'mar’s damage output and makes him more self-sufficient, especially in long PvE encounters. <a href="https://raidhq.gg/raid/blessing" target="_blank">Blessings</a> Choose blessings based on your target content: Cruelty – Reduces enemy defense and pairs perfectly with Krok'mar’s AoE-heavy kit, especially for PvE content like Hydra or Doom Tower. Crushing Rend – A strong choice for PvP, allowing Krok'mar to cut through high-defense enemies with ease. This blessing is best at higher levels, where the defense reduction has a significant impact. Krok'mar’s Role in RAID Krok'mar is a powerful choice for many game modes: PvE – His self-healing and shield make him ideal for sustain in prolonged PvE battles. Use him in places like Faction Wars, Doom Tower, and Ice Golem, where his AoE damage and durability will shine. PvP – In Arena, Krok'mar can fit well in a tanky go-second team, disrupting the enemy with his AoE while absorbing damage. He’s especially useful in mid-tier Arena, where players are more likely to encounter AoE threats. Lore of Krok'mar the Devourer Not all Lizardmen of the Sorrowlakes view their heritage with fondness or pride. The centuries since the defeat of the Gaellen Pact by the Telerian League have seen many Lizardmen clans slip ever-deeper into destitution and internal feuding, beset by poverty and a sense of hopelessness. It is not uncommon for the Pact to be blamed for the current malaise that afflicts many of the clans, whether because it failed to defeat the League, or because it even attempted to fight in the first place. Similarly, the even older legacy of the Dragonkin Empire is spat upon and disdained by many Sorrowlakes clans. Though little is still understood now about the Empire, it is often portrayed as having fallen due to its own arrogance and short-sighted foolishness. The sins of the Dragonkin are still born and paid for by their descendants, so it is claimed, and so the memory of the Empire is despised by many. The self-hatred and bitterness felt by many Lizardmen in the Sorrowlakes is leading to the slow deterioration of the clan structures that have been the bedrock of Lizardmen society for dozens of spawn-generations, but a few have started to harness them as a power in their own right. The warrior known as Krok'mar the Devourer is one such individual. Krok'mar is a descendant of the Gaellen Pact general Kron’mor the Great and is physically strong and powerful, a prime example of his species. His thick neck and shoulders, broad gut and gnarled, scaled hide are further accentuated by the old armor of his forebear, heavy pieces of coarse pig-iron and a crest of wicked metal spines that run along his back from his head-plate. In his heavy fists he carries Meatsplitter, a huge wedge of jagged steel that, when wielded with Krok'mar’s strength, can cleave through a Kaerok knight’s armor, body, and the horse he is mounted on with one great blow. He is made even more deadly by the Talons of Kron’mor, a set of metal claws once born by his ancestor that he wears over his left hand. Krok'mar’s physical abilities are obvious, but to them he adds a charisma often lacking in coldblooded Lizardmen warrior-types. He is coarse and plain-spoken, and honest and fair in his dealings with others. His anger is a terrifying sight to behold, but it is not easily stoked. While his scars and the metal plates pinning his hacked scales together speak of a brute and a lifelong warrior, Krok'mar is not afraid to negotiate, and knows that there is more to being a leader than mere strength and battle prowess. All of this would imply that Krok'mar has the potential to unite the Lizardmen clans, call upon the legacy of his mighty forefather, and recreate the brief glories of the Gaellen Pact. Anyone who makes such an assumption is making a grave mistake. Krok'mar despises his legacy. He hates the Gaellen Pact, believing it damned his people and left them in their current deplorable state. But Krok'mar is not content to wallow in despair. Unlike many other clan leaders and prominent Lizardmen, he will not let the petty rivalries or the unavoidable curse of his ancestry define him. He seeks to rally the clans and free them of the shackles of the past. In this quest, he is uncompromising. He has made himself the sworn enemy of those Lizardmen who still adhere to a belief in the old ways, who still hark back to the Pact or the Dragonkin as leg acies to aspire to. This is especially true of the recent influx of Lizardmen refugees fleeing Anhelt due to King Tayba’s War, many of whom often cling to the hope that there is still a chance of renewing the fallen Empire. Krok'mar considers these Lizardmen to be enemies of the Sorrowlakes, whose stupidity will doom the clans to further wars – and thus further defeat. He stirs up other Lizardmen against them and those whom he captures and who refuse to recant, he executes before – to the horror of his enemies – eating their remains. For Krok'mar and his growing band of adherents, this devouring has an important meaning. Thanks to it, the weight of the past is lifted and the failure of the Pact and the sins of the Dragonkin Empire are all undone. To devour is to destroy utterly, and Krok'mar means to destroy more than just the physical bodies of his enemies, but their very ideas and beliefs. Once he has done this in full, and there are none remaining who view the past as something to recreate, he believes the Sorrowlakes will finally be able to move forward, and build something new, something positive that will herald a fresh beginning for his people. Conclusion Krok'mar the Devourer is a versatile champion who brings excellent sustain, solid AoE damage, and useful team buffs. His ability to tank damage while dishing out consistent AoE makes him a standout choice for any content in&nbsp;RAID: Shadow Legends. With the right gear, masteries, and blessings, Krok'mar can elevate your team’s performance, whether you're tackling PvE waves or challenging PvP arenas.

Krok'mar the Devourer Guide – A Tanky Powerhouse in RAID: Shadow Legends

The <a href="https://raidhq.gg/raid/champions/ultimate-deathknight" target="_blank">Ultimate Death Knight</a> (UDK) has long been a versatile defensive powerhouse in <a href="https://www.raidshadowlegends.com" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">RAID: Shadow Legends</a>, yet many players overlook his potential as a damage dealer. With the right setup, we can transform UDK from a traditional tank into a formidable nuker. In this guide, we’ll break down how to maximize UDK's damage potential, focusing on an innovative build shared by top Arena player Crusen and demonstrated by us. If you’re ready to surprise your enemies with UDK’s nuking power, read on for all the details on skills, gear, masteries, blessings, best use cases, lore, and battle strategies. <a href="https://youtu.be/Q_oabU29kdo" target="_blank"><img src="https://api.flotiq.com/image/0x0/_media-10e8eea5-d429-4c5d-879d-08dbea3e8ff7.PNG" title="Ultimate Death Knight" alt="Ultimate Death Knight" style="width: 801px; height: 471px; display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"></a> Skills Understanding UDK’s abilities is essential for optimizing his nuking potential: A1: Provoke – A 75% chance to provoke Legendary champions, creating constant disruption for enemies. A2: AOE Decrease Attack – A defense-based attack with a three-turn cooldown that decreases enemy attack and can fear Legendary champions, making him a defensive and offensive asset. A3: Passive Abilities – UDK’s “Too Awesome to Die” passive boosts his survivability while his stat-ramping abilities make him a tanky yet formidable opponent over time. Aura: Defense in All Battles by 30% – This boost enhances his role as a resilient counterattacker. Gear Setup for UDK Nuker Build To bring out the best in UDK, we opted for a build focused on making him durable while amplifying his counterattack potential. Here’s how we’ve geared him up: Stone Skin Set (6-piece) This set provides substantial survivability, making it harder for opponents to eliminate UDK in PvP. The Stone Skin buff lets him retain his buffs and resist removal attempts. Retaliation Set We’ve also equipped him with Retaliation to add a 15% chance to counterattack every time he takes a hit. This allows UDK to consistently retaliate and apply his A1 [Provoke] debuff, keeping enemies off balance. Primary Stats Ring: HP, to bolster his durability. Amulet: Crit Damage, which boosts his nuking potential. Banner: Resistance, helping him resist control debuffs that could strip his Stone Skin buff. Chest: Defense Percentage (for better scaling with his abilities). Gauntlets: Crit Damage, maximizing his damage output. Boots: Defense Percentage or Speed, depending on the balance of durability and speed needed for your team. Substats to Focus On Defense: High defense is key to UDK’s tankiness and damage scaling. Critical Rate: Aim for 100% crit rate to ensure consistent high damage. Critical Damage: High crit damage (200%+) to capitalize on his nuking potential. Resistance: Helps UDK avoid debuffs in PvP. Speed: Moderate speed is recommended for keeping pace with teammates, though as a tank, he doesn’t need to be very fast. Mastery Guide for UDK Nuker Build The recommended masteries focus on increasing UDK’s damage potential, enhancing his durability, and boosting his ability to retaliate against enemy attacks. Offense Tree The Offense Tree is essential for maximizing UDK’s damage output, especially in a nuker build. Deadly Precision – 5% Critical Rate boost for reaching crit cap. Keen Strike – Adds 10% Critical Damage for nuking power. Heart of Glory – 5% more damage when at full HP, ideal for the start of battles. Single Out – Increases damage by 8% against enemies below 40% HP. Life Drinker – Heals 5% of damage dealt to enemies with less than 50% HP. Bring It Down – Adds 6% more damage against enemies with higher max HP. Wrath of the Slain – 5% more damage for each dead ally. Methodical – Increases damage by 2% per hit (up to 10%) in longer battles. Helm Smasher – Final mastery for ignoring enemy defense, crucial for a nuking build. Defense Tree The Defense Tree enhances UDK’s tankiness and increases his counterattack opportunities. Tough Skin – +75 defense for better damage mitigation. Blastproof – Reduces AoE damage taken by 5%, helpful against heavy AoE teams. Resurgent – 50% chance to remove a debuff when taking a big hit, useful for cleansing control debuffs. Delay Death – Reduces damage by 3% per hit, up to 6%. Retribution – Chance to counterattack when hit by a critical hit, crucial for more A1 [Provoke] applications. Deterrence – 20% chance to counterattack when an ally is stunned, slept, or frozen, disrupting enemy control tactics. &nbsp;<a href="https://raidhq.gg/raid/blessing" target="_blank">Blessings</a> Guide for UDK Nuker Build To further enhance UDK’s potential, blessings add an additional layer of power. Here are the best options: Soul Reap – Perfect for PvP, Soul Reap has a chance to instantly kill enemies below a certain HP threshold when UDK’s attack hits them. This helps secure kills and prevent revives. Brimstone – Excellent for PvE, Brimstone places a Smite debuff on enemies, dealing max HP-based damage when they take a turn. This is ideal for boss fights where UDK can contribute extra damage over time. Temporal Chains – A versatile blessing that reduces enemy speed based on their active buffs, making it great in PvP to slow down buff-heavy teams and give UDK an edge. Heaven Cast – Boosts UDK’s chances to land debuffs on high-resistance champions. This is useful if you want UDK to reliably land his A1 [Provoke] on resistant targets. Recommended Choices&nbsp; For PvP:&nbsp;Soul Reap for kill-secure potential or&nbsp;Temporal Chains for speed reduction. For PvE:&nbsp;Brimstone for max HP-based damage against bosses. For Debuff Reliability:&nbsp;Heaven Cast to increase chances of landing debuffs on resistant enemies. Best Use Cases for Ultimate Death Knight Nuker Build Arena (PvP) Why It Works: UDK’s Stone Skin and Retaliation setup makes him highly resilient, giving him time to retaliate and dish out consistent damage with his counterattacks. His A1 [Provoke] debuff disrupts enemies, especially squishier nukers and support champions, while the Helm Smasher mastery and high crit damage amplify his nuking ability. Ideal Teams: UDK is particularly effective in teams facing high-burst nukers and squishy support champions. His combination of defense and damage makes him a strong asset in Platinum-tier Arena matches, where prolonged fights benefit from his survivability and consistent damage output. Ice Golem Dungeon Why It Works: UDK is an excellent choice for farming Ice Golem Hard 10. His high defense and ability to provoke allow him to tank hits while countering with reliable damage. His synergy with champions like Arbiter, Ninja, or even single-target DPS champions lets him clear waves effectively and withstand the Ice Golem’s powerful attacks. Team Composition: In PvE, pairing UDK with a solid healer or support, like Arbiter, keeps him sustained, while an AoE DPS or debuffer speeds up the run. His durability ensures he can withstand the Ice Golem’s retaliation mechanics, making him a valuable tank-nuker hybrid. Faction Wars Why It Works: UDK's versatility makes him a strong choice for the Undead Hordes Faction Crypts. His defensive abilities and crowd control with [Provoke] on his A1 allow him to manage enemy waves, keeping them off weaker allies. With Stone Skin and retaliation, he can solo some difficult encounters or act as the main damage-dealer in longer fights. Recommended Strategy: Using him as the primary tank and damage dealer while supporting him with healers or ally protectors enhances team survivability, especially against tougher enemy bosses in Faction Wars. High-Level Doom Tower Waves Why It Works: UDK’s combination of survivability and high damage makes him a good option for Doom Tower waves, especially against Magic-affinity champions or crowd-control-heavy waves. His counterattacks and Stone Skin help him resist and retaliate against enemy waves, making it challenging for enemies to debuff or eliminate him quickly. Tips: In Doom Tower, UDK benefits from pairing with champions who can boost his turn meter or apply ally protection to keep him healthier for longer battles. His consistent counterattacks wear down enemy waves, while his defense scaling ensures he remains tanky. Ultimate Death Knight Lore Just as there are exalted heroes and lowly peons among the mortals, so too is it the case that the Undead Hordes are composed of many small and humble soldiers, and a few rare and powerful overlords who steer the course of the collective. Unlike the fractious, ambitious mortals, the Undead appear to have singular unity and obedience. Their hierarchies are absolute. The history of thousands of battles lend their weight to this being axiomatic. An Undead who dreams of rising above its station is, on principle, absurd. Yet the idea persists. Perhaps mortals naturally project their own habits, norms, and personalities onto the bizarre and alien minds of those beings who live in death. Against the vast, nameless, faceless Hordes, it may be a psychological need to put a face and a name to Undeath. This explains the ubiquity of the Deathknight, a figure of primal legend that has been a sort of stock character in portrayals of the wars against the Undead. The everyman of the Undead Hordes, the Deathknight is the overworked and under-respected servant of the many dreaded lords of the Undead. Given his symbolic role as the downtrodden skeleton, many wondered if the Deathknight, like themselves, wanted a promotion. More clout, more power, more glory, more gold. Surely the allure of such things transcends even the curse of Undeath. The story goes that the Deathknight, after another day of drudgery and defeat from which he resolutely regenerated his ancient bones, climbed into his coffin to rest. He lamented his lowly stature, his common chores, his nameless toils, his lack of respect. He wished to be made a famous hero, and prayed that it would come to pass. Then, astoundingly, the Arbiter herself appeared before this accursed creature in his meager chambers, and announced that it would be so. But rather than elevate the Deathknight to greatness she simply created a new Deathknight – an Ultimate Deathknight. Was it a rebuke upon the lowly Deathknight for her to twist his intent thusly? A jest? Scholars and theologians caution that the Arbiter, powerful though she be, has not the deific power of absolute creation. But common folk often see the Arbiter as a goddess regardless, even if it is a minor blasphemy. None can say what truly transpired. There soon came to be new sightings of the Deathknight, but a Deathknight transformed, all swagger and glittering gilt plate, bearing a mighty and pristine blade. His armor, engraved with depictions of the rat companion Nibbles that traditionally accompanies the Deathknight, was proof against mighty blows. This Ultimate Deathknight was himself a swordmaster, unrivaled in all his duels. The people did not know whether to fear a new resurgence of Undeath with a more powerful Deathknight at its helm, or if the old Deathknight had been replaced or surpassed. Some said they saw both on the same battlefield, one cringing in the back ranks and the other covered in glory in the thick of the melee. Some claimed the Deathknight and the Ultimate Deathknight were bitter rivals. Others said they were father and son. Some said both, and the Deathknight represents the jealousy of a father surpassed and replaced by his own legacy. Some say the Ultimate Deathknight reconciled with his counterpart, and that although there can be only one Ultimate Deathknight and one not-so-Ultimate Deathknight, they became comrades in arms. The histories are muddled beyond comprehension. Surely, all of this wildly creative storytelling bears little resemblance to the facts on the ground, but it is nonetheless a fascinating insight into the minds of the people. If the Deathknight represents the idea that a humble and well-meaning soul could still find some measure of dignity in Undeath – a comforting fantasy – then the Ultimate Deathknight represents the fantasy that fame will not go to one’s head and power will not corrupt that humble soul into an arrogant brute. Both of these mortal obsessions, writ large upon the blank canvas of Undeath’s clean white skull, may yet have caused the manifestation of both types of Deathknight. A popular myth, arising from no particular source but from many common misapprehensions, could be reflected and amplified by its own infamy, until it gives rise to the very phenomenon that produced the myth to begin with. Only the gods can say. Conclusion Building Ultimate Death Knight as a nuker offers an exciting twist on his usual role, transforming him into a surprising counterattacking force. With the Stone Skin and Retaliation setup, optimized masteries, and carefully chosen blessings, we’ve found him to be resilient, disruptive, and lethal. Whether dominating in Arena or efficiently farming PvE, UDK’s versatility makes him a champion worth investing in. Try this build and watch him decimate your foes with style!

Ultimate Death Knight Nuking Build: A Comprehensive Guide

<a href="https://raidhq.gg/raid/champions/trunda-giltmallet" target="_blank">Trunda Giltmallet</a>, one of <a href="https://www.raidshadowlegends.com" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">RAID: Shadow Legends</a>' Legendary Champions from the Dwarves faction, has been a powerhouse for a long time. But after the recent rework, is she still the dominant force we once knew? In this guide, we’ll take a deep dive into her updated skills, gear recommendations, masteries, blessings, and viability in both PvP and PvE content like Hydra Clan Boss and Arena. Who is Trunda Giltmallet? Trunda is a Legendary Attack champion known for her incredible AoE (Area of Effect) damage and devastating crowd control. Her ability to land [Stun] debuffs and [HP Burn] effects makes her a formidable enemy in both PvP and PvE settings. However, with the recent changes, players are wondering: has Trunda been buffed, or was this a secret nerf? <a href="https://youtu.be/WP9SlygQnjw" target="_blank"><img src="https://api.flotiq.com/image/0x0/_media-b43154f0-1587-400c-b288-0ca3dabb82b6.PNG" title="Trunda Giltmallet" alt="Trunda Giltmallet" style="width: 800px; height: 468px; display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"></a> Trunda’s Skills Golden Mallet (A1) Description: Attacks 1 enemy two times. Each hit has a 50% chance of placing a [Stun] debuff for 1 turn. Damage: Based on ATK. Skill Upgrades: Each level increases damage and the chance to apply [Stun]. The change here is slight but impactful. Both hits of her A1 can now apply the [Stun] instead of just the second hit, improving her control potential. Cloak of Ages (A2) Description: Attacks 1 enemy, then attacks all other enemies with a second hit, dealing 60% of the damage inflicted by the first hit and ignoring 50% of the target's DEF. Damage: Based on ATK. Skill Upgrades: Damage boosts at each level. This skill has undergone the most significant change. While it now ignores 50% of DEF, the second hit always being a normal hit (non-critical) reduces its overall damage output, making it feel more like a nerf in some situations. Forge Rhythm (A3) Description: Attacks all enemies. Has a 70% chance of placing a [Stun] debuff for 1 turn. Also places a [HP Burn] debuff for 2 turns. Deals 50% more damage to a [Stone Skin] shield. Damage: Based on ATK. Skill Upgrades: Increases damage and debuff chances. This skill now applies [HP Burn] and [Stun] independently, making it much more reliable. The added bonus damage against [Stone Skin] shields is a major plus for Arena play. Swift Justice (Passive) Description: Increases Trunda's ATK by 10% for each [Stun] or [HP Burn] debuff she places on enemies, stacking up to 50% per round. Additionally, her SPD increases by 5 for each enemy under a [Stun] or [HP Burn] debuff, stacking up to 15. Only active debuffs count. This passive makes Trunda a snowballing terror in longer battles, where her debuffs can stack significantly, increasing her damage output and speed. Aura -&nbsp;Description: Increases Magic Ally ATK in all battles by 36%. A strong aura for teams built around high-attack Magic champions, making Trunda a versatile leader in many compositions. Trunda’s Viability in Hydra Clan Boss Before the rework, Trunda was a Hydra monster, particularly due to her ability to dish out massive damage with her A2. However, the second hit of Cloak of Ages can no longer crit, which has reduced her total damage output. According to early tests, the nerf has lowered her damage by approximately 30-40% in this content, but she remains a strong contender, especially in AoE-heavy scenarios. Arena Nuker? While Trunda’s damage has been nerfed slightly, she’s still an incredible Arena nuker. The change to her A3, Forge Rhythm, makes her a better fit for breaking through tanky [Stone Skin] teams that dominate the current meta. For players running a Savage or Cruel set with Helm Smasher, her A2 can still delete teams. However, timing and setup are more crucial now, as the non-crit second hit on Cloak of Ages can leave enemies alive if not well-prepared. Gear Recommendations for Trunda To maximize Trunda’s potential, we recommend focusing on sets and stats that amplify her already high attack and critical damage: Savage Set or Cruel Set: These sets will help Trunda ignore even more of her enemies' defense, making her A2 hit like a truck. Crit Damage Set: To further boost the damage of her devastating AoE attacks, this set remains a top choice. Merciless Set: If you want to focus on ignoring defense even more, Merciless is a great option. Combining Merciless accessories with Savage or Cruel gear can create a powerful combination, especially for high-end players. Other Gear Options Lethal Set: If you have access to Lethal gear, this is a fantastic alternative, providing both defense ignore and critical rate boost, which is always useful for a nuker like Trunda. Zeal Gear: If you’re able to get Zeal gear, it's incredibly strong for Trunda, providing extra crit damage and bonus damage scaling based on her remaining HP. We would highly recommend this gear for maximizing her Arena potential. Stat Priorities ATK: Since all her abilities scale with ATK, you’ll want as much of this stat as possible. Crit Rate/Crit Damage: Max out her crit rate and aim for at least 250% crit damage. Speed: With her passive scaling off enemies under debuffs, a good amount of speed is essential. Accuracy: Consider adding accuracy to make sure her debuffs, like [HP Burn] and [Stun], land more consistently. Accessory Recommendations Attack Banner: Focus on Attack for banners to boost her overall damage potential. Crit Damage Amulet: Use an amulet that provides Crit Damage and Crit Rate for maximum damage output. Attack Ring: An attack ring is essential to further increase her damage. In certain situations, we also recommend using a Blood Shield ring to counteract champions like Head of Torment in Hydra. Masteries for Trunda Giltmallet Helm Smasher (Tier 6) Reason: We recommend Helm Smasher as the go-to Tier 6 mastery for Trunda. This mastery is essential for maximizing her damage potential, particularly in Arena, because it gives her a chance to ignore a large portion of enemy defense. When combined with Savage or Cruel sets, Helm Smasher allows Trunda to cut through high-defense teams, making her even more lethal. Warmaster (Alternative for PvE) Reason: If you’re focusing on PvE content like Hydra Clan Boss, Warmaster can be a good alternative. This mastery helps boost her damage over long battles by providing additional bonus damage based on the enemy’s max HP, which can be highly effective for bosses. However, for players who primarily use Trunda in the Arena, Helm Smasher is preferred. Other Key Masteries Offense Tree Deadly Precision: Increases crit rate, which is vital to ensure Trunda hits hard consistently. Keen Strike: Boosts her crit damage, further increasing the burst potential of her attacks. Single Out: Increases damage against enemies with low HP, perfect for finishing off weakened foes. Bring it Down: Increases damage to targets with higher max HP, which is common in both PvE and PvP scenarios. Cycle of Violence: Provides a chance to reduce the cooldown of her A2 (Cloak of Ages) when she deals significant damage, allowing Trunda to use her big hits more frequently. Methodical: Increases the damage of her default skill (Golden Mallet) as the battle progresses, making her A1 stronger over time. Support Tree (If focusing on accuracy for debuffs) Pinpoint Accuracy: Increases accuracy, which is now crucial to landing her [HP Burn] and [Stun] debuffs after the rework. Charged Focus: Increases accuracy when no skills are on cooldown, ensuring Trunda can reliably land debuffs at the start of a battle. Swarm Smiter: Increases accuracy for each enemy alive, making it especially useful in Hydra Clan Boss and other multi-enemy scenarios. Defense Tree (Alternative for durability) Tough Skin: Provides a small boost to her defense, helping her survive longer, especially in Arena against high-burst teams. Blastproof: Reduces incoming damage from AoE attacks, useful in both PvP and PvE to help Trunda stay alive in longer fights. <a href="https://raidhq.gg/raid/blessing" target="_blank">Blessings</a> for Trunda Giltmallet Crushing Rend (PvP Focus) Reason: Crushing Rend allows Trunda to deal more damage by ignoring&nbsp;a percentage of the enemy's defense, which aligns perfectly with her role as a nuker. This blessing works exceptionally well in the Arena, especially against tanky opponents who rely on high defense and [Stone Skin] protection. How It Works: Crushing Rend triggers at different intervals, based on the level of the blessing, ignoring more defense with each level. At higher levels, it can significantly increase Trunda’s damage output, particularly when combined with Savage and Helm Smasher. This makes her a deadly threat against even the tankiest champions. Crushing Rend, combined with Savage gear and Helm Smasher, makes Trunda a powerful Arena nuker, allowing her to smash through enemies who rely on defense-heavy builds. Brimstone (PvE Focus) Reason: Brimstone is an excellent choice for PvE content, such as Hydra Clan Boss, where you need consistent damage output over longer fights. Brimstone gives Trunda the ability to apply the Smite debuff on enemies, which causes them to take damage over time based on their max HP. This is especially useful for taking down tough bosses or waves in dungeons. How It Works: When Smite is applied to an enemy, they take additional damage whenever they perform an action, making it incredibly potent in long battles like Hydra or Doom Tower bosses. For PvE content, Brimstone can provide the extra damage needed to compensate for Trunda’s reduced crit capabilities in her A2, making her a great option for Hydra and other boss fights. Lore of Trunda Giltmallet For the Dwarves who forged their ancient home in the depths of the Cloudspire Mountains, the name of their Skyiron Dominion came from the mysterious metal nuggets they found within the veins of iron and coal. Throbbing with a strange power, these early prospectors proclaimed these chunks to be the titular skyiron – heavenly minerals that had found a new home deep within the earth, not unlike the Dwarves who discovered them. For eons, these chunks of otherworldly ore were revered by generations of blacksmiths like holy relics – objects so immutable that not even the Dwarven forges could unlock their potential. That was until Trunda Giltmallet made her attempt. Trunda longed to be the one to finally crack the secrets of skyiron. She had tried everything: hammers etched with primeval runescript, forges fueled by alchemical fire, and bathing the ore in the light of the moon. Nothing would melt skyiron. Even as Siroth’s Demonspawn battered at the doors of the Skyiron Dominion, Trunda labored. Even as her homeland collapsed, she did not falter. One fateful night, a lone Demonspawn broke into Trunda’s forge as she worked. Taking up a blade, she slashed at the beast, spraying its lifeblood over the forge. The Demonspawn’s blood seared Trunda’s skin with an infernal heat, hotter than anything she could stoke in the forge. Gasping with pain, she collected the boiling blood into her sturdiest crucible, dropping one of the skyiron chunks into the liquid. The blood foamed and spat, and the once seemingly indestructible skyiron melted. The liquid turned a prismatic blue, unlike anything Trunda had ever seen. With unbridled enthusiasm, she forged a mighty hammer from this molten concoction of blood and metal. It glowed like starlight, with each swing of it unleashing a roar of the heavens, and searing its target with demonic heat. With this marriage of holy ore, unholy blood, and Dwarven smithing skill in her hands, Trunda fell upon the Demonspawn host with righteous zeal, helping push Siroth’s forces back into the mountain’s depths. Thus began the legend of Trunda Giltmallet, wielder of the heavenly hammer, and master of the skyiron. Conclusion: Is Trunda Still Worth It? So, was Trunda buffed or nerfed? The answer lies somewhere in between. While her damage has been toned down, especially in Hydra Clan Boss, she remains one of the top-tier Arena nukers. Her updates give her more reliability with debuffs, particularly in PvP, and her passive makes her a scaling threat over longer battles. For players looking to use Trunda in end-game PvP, she’s still a powerhouse when geared properly. And though her Hydra damage has decreased, she’s still a solid option for general PvE content. With a little reworking, Trunda can still smash through her enemies with ease.

Today, we’ll be diving into the unique abilities and strategies for&nbsp;<a href="https://raidhq.gg/raid/champions/guardian" target="_blank">Guardian</a>, a rare HP-based champion from the&nbsp;Knight Revenant faction. Despite being a rare champion,&nbsp;Guardian boasts utility and tankiness, making him a valuable addition for certain areas of the game. Let’s explore how to get the most out of&nbsp;Guardian in both early and mid-game content. Champion Overview <a href="https://youtu.be/RJC8EwjWVSc" target="_blank"><img src="https://api.flotiq.com/image/0x0/_media-efc6e535-9b18-41f2-be80-052171394f49.PNG" title="Guardian" alt="Guardia" style="width: 800px; height: 468px; display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"></a> Guardian is an HP-based champion, which means his survivability scales off his high base HP, making him a reliable tank. With an impressive 19,155 HP and solid defense,&nbsp;Guardian has the tools to soak up damage and control the battlefield, especially in dungeon waves and Faction Wars. Faction: Knight Revenant Rarity: Rare Affinity: Spirit Role: HP-based tank Skills Breakdown A1: Chop (Single Target Debuffer) Guardian’s&nbsp;Chop attacks one enemy with a 50% chance of decreasing the duration of all buffs on the target by two turns. This can be increased to 70% with the&nbsp;Sniper mastery, making it a consistent tool to strip buffs from high-priority enemies. Damage based on: Attack Buff/Debuff Chance increases: Up to 70% Best Use: Great for reducing the effectiveness of buff-heavy enemies in Arena or Faction Wars. A2: Thunderclap (Random Multi-Hit Debuffer) This ability hits four times at random, with each hit having a 30% chance of applying the&nbsp;Block Buffs debuff for two turns. While the random targeting may seem unreliable, it can still land on critical enemies during wave content. Damage based on: Attack and HP Debuff Applied: Block Buffs Cooldown: 5 turns (can be reduced with books) Best Use: Useful against enemies that rely on buffs, such as Valkyrie or other defensive champions in dungeons. A3: Prayer (Self-Buffing Tank) This skill places a&nbsp;Block Debuffs buff and a&nbsp;Counterattack buff on Guardian for two turns. It also provides a 15%&nbsp;Continuous Heal buff on Guardian, giving him extra sustain in battle. When paired with his A1 ability, Guardian can continuously remove buffs from enemies while healing himself and keeping debuffs at bay. Buffs Applied: Block Debuffs, Counterattack, Continuous Heal Cooldown: 5 turns (can be reduced with books) Best Use: Great for prolonged fights where survivability and sustainability are needed, such as Faction Wars or dungeons. Aura: HP Boost in Dungeons Guardian’s aura increases ally HP by 27% in dungeons, giving your team additional survivability. This is especially beneficial for newer players working on dungeon progression. Effect: Increases ally HP by 27% in Dungeons Best Gear Sets for Guardian Guardian doesn’t deal much damage, so we suggest prioritizing gear that enhances his survivability and utility over damage output. Here are the best gear sets we recommend: Guardian Set Description: Absorbs 10% of damage dealt to your allies, and Guardian heals by 10% of his max HP every turn. Why Use It: This set is a fantastic option to improve his role as a tank. By absorbing damage, Guardian helps keep your team alive longer, while the self-heal adds extra sustain, pairing well with his&nbsp;Continuous Heal buff from his A3. Stat Priorities: HP%, Speed, Accuracy. Bolster Set Description: Grants a shield to your entire team, based on Guardian's max HP, and the shield is protected (meaning it cannot be removed). Why Use It: This set adds more protection to your entire team by providing a strong, durable shield. Since Guardian scales well with HP, the shield will be substantial, giving your team more sustainability during waves and boss fights. Stat Priorities: HP%, Speed, Accuracy. Shield Set Description: This 4-piece set gives your team a shield based on 30% of Guardian's HP for 3 turns at the start of each round. Why Use It: If you don’t have the Bolster set, Shield gear is another excellent option. It provides consistent shielding at the beginning of battles, and, with Guardian's high HP, this will be very effective in protecting squishier allies. Stat Priorities: HP%, Speed, Accuracy. Immortal Set Description: This 2-piece set gives Guardian +15% HP and heals him by 3% of his max HP every turn. Why Use It: Immortal adds extra tankiness and self-sustain. Since Guardian is not built for damage but rather for surviving and debuffing enemies, healing gear like this can keep him alive longer, letting him apply his debuffs and buffs consistently. Stat Priorities: HP%, Speed, Accuracy. Perception Set Description: Increases Accuracy by 40 and Speed by 5%. Why Use It: This set helps Guardian land his debuffs more reliably, especially the Block Buffs and Buff Reduction. Accuracy is critical for making sure his debuffs land, while Speed ensures he can cycle through his abilities faster. Stat Priorities: HP%, Speed, Accuracy. Stat Priorities In all of these sets, you should focus on the following stats: HP%: Guardian scales off his HP, and higher HP means bigger shields from the Shield and Bolster sets, as well as better survivability. Speed: Ensures Guardian can take his turns more often, allowing him to consistently apply his buffs and debuffs. Accuracy: This stat is crucial for landing his debuffs (especially Block Buffs and reducing buff duration). Without enough accuracy, Guardian won’t be as effective in disrupting enemy buffs. Defense%: Though HP is the primary stat to focus on, adding a bit of Defense will further increase Guardian’s survivability, allowing him to absorb more damage. Masteries for Guardian For Guardian, we recommend focusing on the&nbsp;Support and&nbsp;Defense trees to maximize his utility. Here's the full breakdown of masteries we suggest: Support Tree Pinpoint Accuracy: Increases Guardian's accuracy, helping him land his debuffs more consistently. Charged Focus: Provides additional accuracy when Guardian has no active buffs, useful for landing his debuffs right from the start. Swarm Smiter: Increases accuracy for each enemy alive, making Guardian more effective against multiple targets. Master Hexer: Gives Guardian a chance to extend the duration of his debuffs, such as Block Buffs. Sniper: This mastery increases the chance of applying his A1 ability Chop's debuff. This mastery is especially useful to bring Chop’s chance to reduce buff duration to 70%. Defense Tree Tough Skin: Provides Guardian with extra defense, making him more durable against incoming damage. Blastproof: Reduces damage taken from AoE attacks, helpful in dungeons and Faction Wars. Resurgent: Chance to remove debuffs when Guardian takes a significant hit, helping him stay in the fight longer. Delay Death: Reduces the damage Guardian takes after multiple hits, improving his tankiness in longer battles. Unshakeable: Provides resistance, helping him avoid enemy debuffs, making Guardian more difficult to disrupt in longer fights. Optional Offense Tree Mastery Warmaster: If you want to increase Guardian's damage output, especially in PvE content like dungeons, you can take&nbsp;Warmaster in the Offense tree. This mastery allows Guardian to deal bonus damage based on the enemy’s max HP, which can be useful against bosses. <a href="https://raidhq.gg/raid/blessing" target="_blank">Blessings </a>for Guardian For rare champions like Guardian, blessings may not always be a top priority, but if you unlock the Awakening system, here are some blessings that can boost his utility and survivability. Indomitable Spirit (Support Blessing) Why Use It: This blessing offers Guardian extra protection against crowd control effects, giving him a chance to resist debuffs like stuns, freezes, or provokes. It adds more survivability and utility, especially in prolonged fights where debuffs can cripple your team. Effect: Provides a 15% chance to block any debuff applied to Guardian. This chance increases to 30% at higher awakening levels. Iron Will (Defense Blessing) -&nbsp;Why Use It:&nbsp;Iron Will is a solid blessing for boosting Guardian’s damage reduction from boss abilities. This is especially useful if you're using him in dungeon content or Faction Wars. -&nbsp;Effect: Reduces damage taken from bosses' attacks and their minions by a certain percentage. Ideal Use Cases Faction Wars One of Guardian’s best use cases is in Knight Revenant Faction Wars. His ability to remove buffs and block debuffs makes him a great asset in tough waves and boss fights. His aura can also boost your team’s HP, providing more survivability for lower-ranked allies. Dungeons Guardian shines in dungeons where enemies rely heavily on buffs. His&nbsp;Block Buffs debuff and ability to reduce buff durations allow him to disrupt enemy strategies. Use him in dungeons like&nbsp;Ice Golem or&nbsp;Dragon’s Lair to prevent enemies from gaining an edge. Early Progression &amp; Secret Rooms For newer players, Guardian is useful in secret rooms that require Spirit or HP-based champions. His tanky nature and utility make him a great choice for difficult encounters. Conclusion While Guardian may not be a top-tier rare champion, his utility and survivability make him a solid choice for certain content in RAID: Shadow Legends. With the right gear, mastery setup, blessings, and stats, he can become a reliable tank and debuffer, especially in Faction Wars and dungeons. If you’re looking for a tank that can handle buffs, Guardian may just be the sleeper pick your team needs.

RAID: Shadow Legends Guide – Guardian Build & Strategy

<a href="https://raidhq.gg/raid/champions/gurgoh-the-augur" target="_blank">Gurgoh the Augur</a> has undergone a massive buff, transforming him from one of the least effective Void Legendaries in <a href="https://www.raidshadowlegends.com" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">RAID: Shadow Legends</a> to a dominant force in both PvE and PvP. His updated abilities make him an invaluable asset, especially in wave content, Doom Tower floors, and the arena. Let’s dive into the best build and guide to maximize his potential after this buff. Key Skills Overview <a href="https://youtu.be/jZLZ08FsXA4" target="_blank"><img src="https://api.flotiq.com/image/0x0/_media-6f789bff-945b-4f18-982f-03c88df581b1.PNG" title="Gurgoh the Augur" alt="Gurgoh the Augur in-game" style="width: 800px; height: 469px; display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"></a> Icebreaker (A1) This skill strikes one enemy twice and places an additional hit if the target is under a [Freeze] debuff. This extra hit mechanic adds substantial damage potential, especially in control-based compositions. Damage is based on [ATK], and it’s essential to upgrade this skill to increase its effectiveness. Bonechiller (A2) Bonechiller removes all buffs from enemies and has an 80% chance (100% when fully booked) to place a [Freeze] debuff on all enemies for one turn. As an added bonus, this skill grants an extra turn after use, allowing Gurgoh to cycle through his abilities faster. It’s a fantastic control tool, particularly in the arena where removing buffs is crucial. Avalanche (A3) Avalanche hits all enemies and places a 60% [Decrease DEF] debuff for two turns, with an additional hit if the target is frozen. This powerful AOE skill is perfect for setting up a nuke after controlling the enemy team with [Freeze]. Like Icebreaker, the damage is based on [ATK], and upgrading the skill can make a significant impact in both PvE and PvP. Frost Embrace (Passive) Gurgoh’s passive gives him a 30% chance to place a [Freeze] debuff on any attacker when he’s hit. Additionally, allies deal 25% more damage to enemies under [Freeze]. This synergizes incredibly well with Gurgoh’s kit, making him a great control champion while boosting his team's overall damage. Aura Gurgoh boosts his team’s speed by 30% in arena battles, putting him on par with other top-tier speed Auras like Arbiter’s. This Aura is critical for teams looking to control the battlefield in PvP. Best Gear for Gurgoh the Augur To maximize Gurgoh’s potential, we recommend focusing on&nbsp;control, damage, and survivability. Here’s a detailed breakdown of the ideal gear setup based on our experience: Primary Gear Sets Stone Skin We use Stone Skin in the&nbsp;arena&nbsp;to provide survivability and ensure Gurgoh can land his debuffs and control the battlefield. Perception Gear Outside of the arena, we prefer&nbsp;Perception gear due to its boost to&nbsp;accuracy and&nbsp;speed, two vital stats for Gurgoh’s success in PvE content. Lethal or Savage Gear For a more damage-centric build,&nbsp;Lethal or&nbsp;Savage gear is fantastic for bypassing enemy defenses. This setup allows Gurgoh to fulfill the role of a&nbsp;secondary damage dealer, maximizing his damage potential in both PvP and PvE. Stat Priorities Accuracy: Accuracy is the&nbsp;most important stat for Gurgoh, as it ensures his debuffs (like [Freeze] and [Decrease DEF]) land consistently. Speed: Gurgoh benefits from&nbsp;high speed&nbsp;to cycle through his skills faster, especially since Bonechiller grants an extra turn. Critical Rate: For maximum damage output, we strive for&nbsp;100% crit rate. In our build, we reached&nbsp;94%, but we recommend getting as close to 100% as possible for consistent damage. Critical Damage:&nbsp;Crit damage&nbsp;is also essential for boosting Gurgoh’s offensive power, particularly for his AOE attacks like Avalanche. Attack Percentage: Since Gurgoh is an attack-based champion,&nbsp;attack percentage&nbsp;is vital for increasing his damage output. Specific Gear Pieces Banner: An&nbsp;Accuracy Banner is essential to ensure Gurgoh’s debuffs land reliably. Amulet: We use a&nbsp;Crit Damage Amulet to boost Gurgoh’s burst damage. Ring: Since Gurgoh is attack-based, we equip an&nbsp;Attack Ring to further boost his damage. Boots:&nbsp;Speed Boots are critical for ensuring Gurgoh can take turns quickly. Chestplate: We opted for&nbsp;Accuracy on the Chestplate with an&nbsp;Attack Percentage Ascension. For many players,&nbsp;Attack Percentage on the chestplate with accuracy as a secondary stat may be better. Gauntlets:&nbsp;Crit Damage Gauntlets are used to increase Gurgoh’s damage. Glyphs: We recommend upgrading Gurgoh’s gear with&nbsp;glyphs, particularly focusing on&nbsp;accuracy and&nbsp;speed to further optimize his performance. Masteries for Gurgoh the Augur Masteries play a critical role in making the most of Gurgoh’s abilities, whether you’re focusing on control, damage, or debuffs. Here’s the ideal mastery setup: Offense Tree Deadly Precision – Increases Gurgoh’s Crit Rate, crucial for consistent damage. Keen Strike – Boosts Crit Damage, helping Gurgoh hit harder with Avalanche and Icebreaker. Heart of Glory – Provides a damage boost when Gurgoh is at full health, great for both arena and PvE. Ruthless Ambush – Increases damage dealt on the first hit, perfect for burst damage in the arena. Opportunist – Deals extra damage to enemies under control effects (like [Freeze]), which synergizes well with Gurgoh’s kit. Alternatively, you can pick&nbsp;Cycle of Violence&nbsp;for better cooldown reduction. Helmsmasher – This is our preferred tier-six mastery. It helps Gurgoh ignore enemy defense, maximizing his AOE damage potential with Avalanche. Support Tree Pinpoint Accuracy – Increases Gurgoh’s accuracy, helping him land his vital debuffs. Charged Focus – Boosts accuracy when no skills are on cooldown, useful in early rounds. Swarm Smiter – More accuracy when fighting multiple enemies, ideal for wave content in Doom Tower. Lore of Steel – Enhances the effect of his gear sets like Stone Skin, Perception, and Savage. Master Hexer – Extends the duration of Gurgoh’s debuffs, such as [Freeze] and [Decrease DEF], making it a must-have mastery for control setups. This mastery setup focuses on **damage**, **debuff extension**, and **control**, giving Gurgoh the flexibility to perform in both PvE and PvP content. Ideal <a href="https://raidhq.gg/raid/blessing" target="_blank">Blessings </a>for Gurgoh Here are the top blessings to consider for Gurgoh: Brimstone (PvE Focus) This is our top pick for&nbsp;PvE content.&nbsp;Brimstone allows Gurgoh to apply a Smite debuff, which deals extra damage over time. This works particularly well in long fights like&nbsp;Doom Tower or&nbsp;Dungeon bosses, where additional damage over time is critical for success. Cruelty (PvP Focus) For&nbsp;PvP,&nbsp;Cruelty is a strong blessing that reduces the defense of enemy champions. This pairs beautifully with Gurgoh’s&nbsp;[Decrease DEF] ability from Avalanche, further amplifying the damage output of your team. Reducing the defense of high-defense champions in the arena can turn the tide in your favor. Crushing Rend (PvP and PvE Alternative) **Crushing Rend** is another solid option for both&nbsp;PvP and&nbsp;PvE. This blessing allows Gurgoh to ignore a portion of the enemy’s defense, much like the&nbsp;Helmsmasher&nbsp;mastery. It’s useful for breaking down tanky champions or bosses where defense is a significant hurdle. Blessing Choice Based on Awakening Stars 1-Star Awakening: Brimstone is the best choice for lower awakenings, especially for&nbsp;PvE. 3+ Stars Awakening: For higher awakenings,&nbsp;Cruelty or&nbsp;Crushing Rend become more valuable, especially in PvP. Gurgoh's Lore There are stories told between the people of Frostheim of a monstrous Ogryn who lives among the heights of the snow-clad mountains they call home, a stamping, iron-clad brute who commands the winds and the ice, and whose fate is therefore inextricably linked to the very future of those bleak peaks. These tales are sometimes confused with the legendary Ice Golem who, in the ancient stories,&nbsp;wrecked the Winter Hall and slaughtered the kings of old, though in reality they are two very different beings. The Ogryn is Gurgoh the Augur, and the stories all agree that he is the only child of a warrior and a powerful ice sorceress. Not only is he an Ogryn of great intelligence, but he also possesses an instinctive ability to command the forces of the place where he grew up, the gales and snows of the Redspike Mountains. This elemental magic is something even skilled sorcerers struggle to control, but he was taught by his mother to slowly master it, and she scribed the runes of protection and guidance into shards of mountain rock that he still wears around his neck. As he approached adulthood, Gurgoh began to experience unusual dreams that his mother believed to be visions. He witnessed strange lands and cities unknown, but was at a loss to interpret them. Often he saw a great orb of metal, and at other times a lonely hut perched on the edge of a cliff somewhere in the mountains. Perhaps, with time, his mother would have been able to decipher Gurgoh’s prophecies, but she never had the chance, for both of his parents were killed during a rockslide, proof that these peaks are a dangerous place even for those who bear their magical essence in their veins. Distraught at his parents’ death and now viewing the snow-bound slopes of Frostheim as a place of sorrow that he would have to endure alone, Gurgoh chose to set out into the world. He served for many years as a warrior, first among his kind, in Aravia, where he helped to guard Felwin’s Wall and became particularly infamous as an adversary among the Dark Elves, and then as a roving mercenary across Kaerok. During that time he amassed for himself a heavy suit of scrap armor and a small fortune. His visions continued. As they intensified, Gurgoh found himself unable to ignore them any longer. He traveled back to Frostheim, building a cabin for himself high in the most inimical peaks. Having spent much time among the other peoples of Anhelt, he now found value in the solitude he had once known in the mountains, and sought a return to that reclusiveness as he pondered the meaning of his existence. He expected to find a measure of peace, but instead his prophetic experiences grew even stronger. Images of the metal orb in particular became more and more insistent. The artifact seemed to lie in a desolate ruin that, from the stories his mother had told him, Gurgoh assumed to be the remains of the fabled Winter Hall. He scaled all the way up to the ancient stronghold, evading the Ice Golem at its heart by infiltrating its lower levels. With his magical talents he cast aside the feet-thick snow that covered entrances cracked open by the elements over centuries. Gurgoh discovered the royal treasure of the ancient kings of Frostheim at the heart of the hall's ice-clad vaults, the great orb among it – a part of a king's scepter. He returned home and, still guided by his visions, carved runes of snow and sundering into the metallic sphere before forging it into the head of a great mace, which he named Frost Bearer. For a while Gurgoh’s visions were quelled, but soon he began to experience something even stranger. Despite his isolation, other Ogryn braved the elements and sought him out. They claimed to have seen him in dreams of their own, dreams that foretold that he would one day unite them as a new and mighty Ogryn tribe that would rule the Redspike Mountains. At first, Gurgoh refused to entertain such ideas, for he had never sought personal power. Still, he could not deny that his auguries had thus far come true, and that he had recovered an ancient symbol of Frostheim kingship. It was not long before he too saw visions of his future self, ruling over a new kingdom of ice, stone, and steel. As more Ogryn are inexplicably drawn to what is rapidly becoming a stronghold high within the Redspike Mountains, the Humans of the kingdom are taking note, many considering the influx a potential threat. What remains unknown even to Gurgoh himself is whether he is in control of events, or whether his fate has already been chosen for him. Conclusion Gurgoh the Augur’s massive buff has vaulted him into the meta as one of the best Void Legendaries in <a href="https://www.raidshadowlegends.com" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">RAID: Shadow Legends</a>. Whether in wave content, Doom Tower floors, or the arena, Gurgoh’s ability to control and nuke enemies makes him an essential addition to your team. Equip him with high-accuracy gear, focus on control and speed, and watch him dominate both PvE and PvP. Now is the time to dust off this previously overlooked champion and unleash his full potential!&nbsp;

Gurgoh the Augur: A Powerful Meta Champion in RAID: Shadow Legends

<a href="https://youtu.be/OtS8XqlSQTI" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Seneschal</a>, from the Banner Lords faction, is a defense-based epic champion that may not have been on many players’ radar, but his toolkit provides excellent utility and control for certain game modes. In this guide, we’ll break down his skills, stats, masteries, blessings, gear, and the ideal build to maximize his potential. Skills Overview <a href="https://youtu.be/OtS8XqlSQTI" target="_blank"><img src="https://api.flotiq.com/image/0x0/_media-fdb10571-0472-465f-82e2-c3780f9ebb3b.PNG" title="Senechal" alt="Senechal" style="width: 800px; height: 470px; display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"></a> Bloodied Mace (A1) Attack Type: Single-target Effect: 30% chance of applying a&nbsp;Leech&nbsp;debuff for 2 turns. Damage Scaling: Based on Defense and Attack, but Seneschal’s low attack stat makes this ability mainly reliant on his Defense. Upgrade: Can increase damage and the chance of applying debuffs with books. Usage: While the damage is not outstanding, the leech effect allows your team to sustain longer in drawn-out battles. Misdirect (A2) Buff: Applies&nbsp;Perfect Veil&nbsp;and a 15% Continuous Heal&nbsp;on an ally for 2 turns. Cooldown: 4 turns (can be reduced with books). Usage: Perfect for keeping squishy allies alive in difficult battles, particularly in secret rooms or Faction Wars. Lordly Challenge (A3) Buff: Places a&nbsp;Counterattack buff on Seneschal for 2 turns. Debuff: 50% chance to place a&nbsp;Provoke debuff on all enemies for 1 turn. Cooldown: 5 turns (can be reduced with books). Usage: This skill shines in wave-clearing scenarios like&nbsp;Doom Tower and&nbsp;Faction Wars, where crowd control is essential. The Counterattack also synergizes well with his A1, helping apply more leeches. Stat Breakdown HP: 19,980 Defense: 1,266 Attack: 705 (low, so focus on Defense scaling) Speed: 105 Critical Rate: 15% Critical Damage: 50% Resistance: 45 Accuracy: 0 (will need boosting via gear for reliable Provoke application) Mastery Setup for Seneschal For Seneschal, a mastery setup that focuses on survivability, debuff accuracy, and&nbsp;crowd control is key. Here is a recommended mastery path that will maximize his effectiveness as a tank&nbsp;and provoker: Defense Tree (Primary Focus) Tough Skin: Increases Seneschal’s base defense to improve his durability. Blastproof: Reduces AoE damage, helping Seneschal survive against heavy-hitting teams. Rejuvenation: Enhances the healing from his&nbsp;Continuous Heal and the self-sustain from&nbsp;Leech. Delay Death: Reduces incoming damage, making him more resilient in prolonged battles. Cycle of Revenge: Increases his turn meter when allies take critical hits, allowing him to provoke or heal more often. Retribution: Allows Seneschal to counterattack when hit, increasing the chances to apply Leech via his A1. Fearsome Presence: Boosts the chance to land Provoke from his A3, further enhancing his control over the battlefield. Support Tree (Secondary Focus) Pinpoint Accuracy: Increases accuracy, ensuring his debuffs land more reliably. Charged Focus: Provides an accuracy boost when no skills are on cooldown, useful at the start of battles. Swarm Smiter: Further increases accuracy based on the number of enemies alive, great for wave-based content. Lore of Steel: Increases the effectiveness of gear sets, such as&nbsp;Perception or&nbsp;Stun. Master Hexer: Extends the duration of debuffs like&nbsp;Leech, providing more sustain for the team. Sniper: Improves the chance of placing&nbsp;Leech and&nbsp;Provoke, making him more reliable in his crowd-control role. Best <a href="https://raidhq.gg/raid/blessing" target="_blank">Blessings</a> for Seneschal Blessings add an extra layer of power to Seneschal, helping him enhance his role as a tank&nbsp;and crowd control&nbsp;champion. Below are some recommended blessings for him: Intimidating Presence (Defense Blessing) Effect: Strengthens the aura of all your champions and weakens the aura of enemy champions. Why: This blessing is fantastic for boosting the overall effectiveness of your team’s aura and weakening the enemy’s aura, giving your team an advantage in challenging content like Doom Tower&nbsp;and Faction Wars. Iron Will (Defense Blessing) Effect: Reduces damage from enemy AoE attacks. Why: Seneschal often acts as a frontline tank and provoker, so reducing incoming AoE damage helps him survive longer in wave-based content, making this blessing an ideal choice for&nbsp;Doom Tower,&nbsp;Faction Wars, and&nbsp;Ice Golem. Commanding Presence (Support Blessing) Effect: Increases the effectiveness of your team’s aura. Why: This blessing is great if Seneschal is paired with champions that rely on strong auras. It will help improve team performance, particularly in aura-dependent content like **Faction Wars** and **Secret Rooms**. Miracle Heal (Support Blessing) Effect: Restores some destroyed HP when healing. Why: Since Seneschal provides&nbsp;Continuous Heal&nbsp;with his A2, this blessing can restore destroyed HP, which is especially helpful in long fights or against bosses like&nbsp;Ice Golem&nbsp;that destroy HP. Survival Instinct (Support Blessing) Effect: Increases turn meter when Seneschal is debuffed. Why: Since Seneschal is often targeted by enemies when he provokes, this blessing helps him take more turns and cycle through his abilities faster, especially in Doom Tower and&nbsp;Faction Wars. Recommended Gear Sets for Seneschal Seneschal's role as a&nbsp;tank,&nbsp;provoker, and&nbsp;support makes his gear setup crucial for his effectiveness. Here's a breakdown of the best gear sets and stats for him: Stun Set (4 pieces) Purpose: Adds an 18% chance to stun the enemy with any attack. Reason: Since Seneschal's A3 (Lordly Challenge) is an AoE Provoke, using the Stun Set can help provide additional crowd control to lock down enemies. When to use: Best used in wave-based content like Doom Tower and Faction Wars where crowd control is essential. Perception Set (2 pieces) Purpose: Provides +40 Accuracy and +5% Speed. Reason: This set is crucial for Seneschal to ensure his&nbsp;Leech (A1) and&nbsp;Provoke (A3) debuffs land consistently. Accuracy is critical for a provoker and support champion like Seneschal. When to use: Great in all game modes where debuffs play an important role, like Faction Wars and Doom Tower. Speed Set (2 pieces) Purpose: Provides +12% Speed. Reason: Speed is important for any provoker or support champion. You want Seneschal to be fast so he can get his&nbsp;Provoke and&nbsp;Leech out as often as possible, keeping your team safe. When to use: Useful across all game modes to cycle through turns quickly. Main Stats for Gear: Weapon: Attack Helmet: HP Shield: Defense Chest: Defense% (scales his damage and increases his tankiness) Boots: Speed (to ensure he gets as many turns as possible to Provoke or Leech) Gauntlets: HP% or Defense% (depending on whether you need more survivability or defense scaling) Preferred Substats Accuracy: To ensure Provoke and Leech land on enemies. Speed: To increase the number of turns and improve crowd control uptime. Defense&nbsp;%: To maximize Seneschal’s tankiness and damage output (since his damage scales off Defense). HP %: Increases his survivability, making him more durable in longer fights. Accessories Amulet: Defense (to further increase his damage output from defense scaling)Ring: HP or Defense% (to keep him tanky and able to sustain damage) Banner: Accuracy (to ensure his debuffs land consistently, especially Provoke) Additional Gear Set Ideas Immortal Set (2 pieces): Provides 15% HP and heals by 3% every turn. This helps with Seneschal’s self-sustain when paired with his Leech and Counterattack abilities. Relentless Set (4 pieces): 18% chance to get an extra turn. This can be a niche set for Seneschal, allowing him to cycle through his Provoke and heal more often, especially in longer battles like Faction Wars. With the right gear, Seneschal will be an effective tank and provoker, keeping your team alive through his healing, debuffs, and control mechanics. Seneschal Lore To an outside observer, the kingdom of Kaerok might seem like one of the great bastions of authority in Anhelt, yet its position is forever precarious. The power of the king is not absolute, and arguably he rules at least in part due to the acquiescence of the Banner Lords. This confederation of nobles is kept in check by the need to maintain their own holdings in the face of the ever-grumbling peasantry, and the personal squabbling and politicking that means that many Banner Lords prefer the king’s authority to the thought of any of their fellows outdoing them. With so many nobles vying to maintain or increase their power, it would be an easy thing for Kaerok to descend into anarchy. The king’s authority is not negligible, however, and to ensure it is enforced he has recourse to a number of different groups and orders. Foremost among them are the Seneschals. The Seneschals act as the enforcers of royal will. If a fiefdom is lagging behind in its taxes, has ceased providing sufficient grain, or does not answer the call to war with sufficient alacrity, a Seneschal is sent to rectify the situation. Rarely do they find deliberate negligence at work – more often than not incompetence, regional disputes, or localized disasters are the cause of whatever problem has arisen. The Seneschal sets to work repairing matters and brings the region back into alignment with the rest of the kingdom. By ancient charter and royal writ, when on official business, Seneschals speak with the king’s authority. He is their direct liege-lord, leaving them beholden to no other in the hierarchy of Kaerok. The nobility cannot command them, nor can they refuse when a Seneschal makes demands. Because of this, the Seneschals are some of the most disliked people in Kaerok, with the nobility despising their authority and almost always viewing their interventions as unwelcome troublemaking. Anyone with a claim to nobility can apply to become a Seneschal, though their numbers are kept small and are usually drawn from families with a long history of notable loyalty to the king and his forebears. Sir Tilbrand is one example of those who have taken the Seneschal’s vows. His first task was to travel to the fiefdom of Lord Helmrath to recover a late tax payment. Tilbrand found that the region had been struck down by a bout of bog fever, the virulent infection laying a large number of the peasantry low and leaving their fields unharvested. Helmrath, more sympathetic than most, had not enforced the latest round of taxes. Tilbrand assessed the situation and conceived the solution. The knightly retinue accompanying Tilbrand seized Helmrath’s castle as an indemnity while he ordered payment to be offered to any willing to harvest the fields. It soon attracted laborers from neighboring regions, and while the Helmraths suffered financially, Tilbrand permitted them to recoup some of the money gained from the sale of excess grain, while the rest was claimed as the king’s tax. Since then Tilbrand has earned a reputation as one of the crown’s most efficient problem-solvers, bringing a harsh utilitarianism to issues throughout Kaerok. This has earned him no small amount of enemies, but like all Seneschals, Tilbrand is well-trained in more than mere self-defense. A competent warrior, he has slain everything from assassins to outraged nobles who have dared challenge him to single combat. Thus far, none have been able to stop him from enforcing his king’s will. Conclusion Seneschal may not be the first choice for many players, but with the right build, masteries, blessings, and understanding of his abilities, he can be a surprisingly effective champion in certain content. His mix of&nbsp;buffs,&nbsp;crowd control, and&nbsp;self-sustain makes him a valuable addition to your roster, particularly in&nbsp;Doom Tower and&nbsp;Faction Wars. Don’t sleep on Seneschal—he might just surprise you!&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

Seneschal, the epic defense champion from RAID: Shadow Legends, excels in crowd control and support with his Provoke, Leech, and Perfect Veil abilities. Learn the best build, masteries, and gear in this detailed guide.

Seneschal - An Underrated Epic Defense Champion: Build & Guide

In this guide, we’ll explore <a href="https://youtu.be/Nyamz5y-JGw" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Khafru the Deathkeeper,</a> an Epic Defense-based Champion from the Undead Hordes faction in <a href="https://www.raidshadowlegends.com" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">RAID: Shadow Legends</a>. Initially, Khafru didn’t generate much excitement due to underwhelming reviews in-game and online tier lists, but after testing him thoroughly, we’ve found that he offers much more than meets the eye. Khafru's Base Stats <a href="https://youtu.be/Nyamz5y-JGw" target="_blank"><img src="https://api.flotiq.com/image/0x0/_media-b3027e2f-4e2b-4746-a9df-d40e25f9172e.PNG" title="Khafru the Deathkeeper" alt="Khafru the Deathkeeper" style="width: 801px; height: 471px; display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"></a> HP: 18,330 ATK: 749 DEF: 1,332 SPD: 99 C. RATE: 15% C. DMG: 50% RES: 45 ACC: 0 These base stats may seem average, but Khafru's skillset more than compensates for it, especially considering his tanky DEF stat. Let’s dive into his abilities. Skills Breakdown Bone Gladius (A1) Effect: Attacks 1 enemy with a 50% chance to transfer 1 random debuff from Khafru to the target. Damage based on: [DEF] Upgrades: Damage increases and buff/debuff transfer chance improve with books. This skill offers decent utility, particularly in high-debuff encounters like Hydra and Faction Wars. Its debuff-transfer mechanic can be situationally powerful, especially when paired with Khafru's defensive stats. Khafru’s Command (A2) Effect: Attacks all enemies, removes 1 random debuff from all allies before attacking, and heals each ally by 10% of Khafru's MAX HP if a debuff is removed. Cooldown: 5 turns (can be reduced to 3 with books). Damage based on: [DEF] This is the centerpiece of Khafru's kit. It not only cleanses debuffs but also escalates damage based on how many debuffs were removed. This makes him invaluable in content like Hydra, where managing debuffs is crucial. The additional heal gives your team much-needed sustain, especially when paired with Khafru's strong defense. Goad the Living (A3) Effect: Places an [Unkillable] buff on Khafru for 1 turn and a [Taunt] buff for 2 turns. Cooldown: 6 turns (can be reduced to 4 with books). This skill transforms Khafru into a tanky powerhouse. Not only does he protect his team with [Taunt], drawing enemy attacks, but he also ensures his survival with the [Unkillable] buff. This is useful for content like Clan Boss or Hydra, where surviving deadly hits is critical. Nekhret's Guardian (Passive) Effect: Decreases the damage all allies receive by 10%, with Khafru taking the damage instead. Khafru acts as a defensive buffer, soaking up some of the damage directed at your team. Combined with his [Unkillable] and [Taunt], Khafru can serve as a pseudo-tank in various game modes, including high-damage battles like Ice Golem or Faction Wars. Gear Recommendations for Khafru We built Khafru for&nbsp;damage&nbsp;using a combination of Lethal&nbsp;and&nbsp;Crit Damage&nbsp;sets. This setup allows him to maximize his nuking potential in various content, including wave clearing and boss fights. However, there are many ways to build Khafru depending on your team’s needs and your preferred playstyle. Here are some alternative gear suggestions: Alternative Gear Suggestions Regeneration/Immortal If you want to focus more on survivability, Regeneration or Immortal sets are excellent choices. Since Khafru absorbs damage for the team, these sets keep him alive longer and allow him to heal consistently. Guardian Set This set works beautifully with his passive, further reducing the damage your allies take while making Khafru even more durable. Bolster Set Another survivability-focused option, Bolster will provide shields for the team and help Khafru tank damage more effectively. Primary Stats Gauntlets: Crit Damage or Crit Rate (depending on your Crit Rate% from other gear pieces). Chestplate: DEF%. Boots: Speed or DEF%, depending on whether you're focusing more on survivability or damage. Weapon: Standard ATK stat. Helmet: HP. Shield: DEF. Ring: DEF for overall tankiness. Amulet: Crit Damage to enhance his damage-dealing capabilities. Banner: DEF or Accuracy. If you want to maximize his A1 debuff transfer, some Accuracy on the banner helps, though it's not mandatory unless you're focused on transferring debuffs. Masteries for Khafru the Deathkeeper We built Khafru to strike a balance between damage and defense, making him a versatile champion that can handle both offensive and defensive roles. The masteries enhance his ability to mitigate damage, deal significant hits, and sustain himself in battle. Offense Tree The Offense Tree was chosen to maximize Khafru's damage output, especially in boss fights and longer content. Here are the key masteries we picked from the Offense Tree: Deadly Precision: Increases Crit Rate by 5%. This is essential for ensuring Khafru lands critical hits more consistently. Keen Strike: Increases Crit Damage by 10%. With Khafru’s DEF-based damage scaling, more Crit Damage means bigger hits. Heart of Glory: Increases damage dealt by 5% when Khafru is at full HP. This works well since his Unkillable buff can help him maintain full HP for a portion of the fight. Whirlwind of Death: Increases Speed by 6 for each enemy killed, up to 18 Speed. This helps Khafru in wave content or in battles where he’s frequently getting kills. Single Out: Increases damage dealt by 8% to targets with less than 40% HP. Great for finishing off enemies, particularly in boss fights. Life Drinker: Heals Khafru by 5% of the damage dealt when attacking enemies with less than 50% HP. This mastery is crucial for keeping Khafru alive, especially when he's low on HP and benefiting from his Unkillable buff. Bring it Down: Increases damage dealt by 6% against targets with higher MAX HP. Useful in fights against bosses or tanky champions. Wrath of the Slain: Increases damage by 5% for each dead ally, up to 10%. This mastery adds situational burst damage, especially in tough fights like Hydra or Clan Boss. Cycle of Violence: Has a 30% chance of reducing the cooldown of a random skill by 1 turn if Khafru deals 30% of the target’s MAX HP in one hit. This helps reset his skills faster, increasing his utility in long fights. War Master: This is the primary mastery that enhances Khafru's overall damage, particularly in boss fights like Clan Boss or Hydra. War Master gives him a chance to deal bonus damage based on the enemy’s MAX HP. This is perfect for a champion like Khafru, who has high survivability and benefits from long fights. Defense Tree The Defense Tree was chosen to make Khafru even more durable, allowing him to absorb more damage and protect the team. The masteries here complement his passive ability to absorb damage for his allies: Tough Skin: Increases base DEF by 75. This is an easy boost to Khafru’s defensive stat, which is crucial for both his survivability and damage output. Blastproof: Reduces damage from AoE attacks by 5%. Since Khafru is often taking hits due to his [Taunt] buff, this reduces the damage he takes from enemy AoEs. Rejuvenation: Increases the healing and shield buffs Khafru receives by 5%. This is beneficial for extending the effectiveness of his A2 heal and any shields applied to him. Shadow Heal: Heals Khafru by 6% of his MAX HP when an enemy is healed. This provides an extra layer of healing, especially in longer fights or against enemies with healing abilities. Selfless Defender: Reduces damage taken by an ally from the first hit in each round by 20%. This is a key mastery for champions that are meant to protect the team. It synergizes well with Khafru’s role as a tank and team protector. Blessings for Khafru the Deathkeeper When it comes to blessings, we recommend picking one that complements Khafru's role as a defensive powerhouse and secondary damage dealer. Depending on your team composition and the content you're focusing on, there are several good options for him: Cruelty This is the top choice we recommended for Khafru.&nbsp;Cruelty&nbsp;reduces the target’s defense with each hit, stacking up to 20% reduction. This is excellent for making your team hit harder, as it directly lowers the defense of enemy champions, making them more vulnerable to attacks. Since Khafru can deal AoE damage with his A2, this blessing helps him weaken multiple enemies at once, allowing your team to deal more damage over time. It's especially effective in boss fights and long battles like Hydra or Clan Boss, where you need to chip away at enemies’ defenses. Commanding Presence If you already have another champion applying defense reduction or you want to focus on supporting your team,&nbsp;Commanding Presence&nbsp;is another great option for Khafru. This blessing increases the strength of your team’s aura, making it particularly useful if you're running a powerful aura in dungeons, Clan Boss, or even PvP. Khafru, being a defense-based champion, will naturally benefit from increased survivability if you're using a defense-boosting aura, and this blessing will amplify its effect. Crushing Rend (for 6-Star Awakening) If you're lucky enough to have Khafru awakened to 6 stars,&nbsp;Crushing Rend becomes an option that further enhances his offensive capabilities. It allows Khafru to ignore a portion of the enemy's defense with every attack. This is a great blessing if you’re building Khafru for damage, as it lets him hit even harder, especially when combined with high Crit Damage and DEF stats. Other Options If you're building Khafru more as a tank and less for damage output, blessings like&nbsp;Chainbreaker or&nbsp;Survival Instinct could also be considered. These blessings help with survivability by improving Khafru's ability to take damage, heal, and cleanse debuffs. Where to Use Khafru Khafru is an exceptional champion for a variety of end-game content. His cleansing, taunting, and defensive kit make him perfect for: Hydra: The cleansing, damage mitigation, and taunt mechanics are invaluable. Clan Boss: His damage absorption, healing, and ability to survive via [Unkillable] help him take massive hits and stay alive. Faction Wars: Provides utility with cleansing and damage mitigation. PvP: While not a typical arena nuker, his survivability allows him to stand up against tough enemies. Ice Golem: His passive and AoE skills make him excellent at tanking and dealing damage. Lore of Khafru Only the strongest Undead warriors may serve a lord as mighty as Nekhret the Great. Or so the Deathless Eagle has proclaimed. In his desert fastness, Nekhret builds an army of conquest, though few are deemed worthy to fight in his shadow. Among his chosen warriors is the mummified brute known as Khafru the Deathkeeper. Khafru has served Nekhret longer than any other being; a dubious honor, but one he claims for his own. In life, he was Nekhret’s chief bodyguard. Chosen for his size and strength, Khafru was trained by the greatest warriors of the kingdom to serve and protect Nekhret from any danger. In addition to physical prowess, Khafru was taught prudence and patience, qualities he would need to advise his headstrong master. For many years, Khafru fought alongside Nekhret in wars of domination, defending him against numerous assassination attempts. He did his best to curb Nekhret’s hunger for glory, but it was no easy task. Khafru fell out of favor with his master more than once, even suffering exile from the kingdom. Yet, his skill and loyalty would always earn him forgiveness, and Khafru would return to his master’s side. Khafru’s loyalty only failed once—during Nekhret’s final battle against a great sand wyrm. Despite his better judgment, Khafru accompanied Nekhret in the fight against the creature, but his courage faltered at the sight of the beast, and he could only watch as Nekhret fought the wyrm alone. Though Nekhret triumphed, it was at the cost of his life. Shamed by his failure, Khafru carried Nekhret’s body back to the kingdom and volunteered to be mummified and entombed with his master. Khafru swore that if he could not protect Nekhret in life, he would keep him safe in death. A year later, when the Deathless Eagle rose as an Undead horror, so too did Khafru, drawn back from oblivion by the same dark magic. Now, once again, Khafru serves Nekhret as his immortal shield, determined to protect his master from any harm. Even in death, he continues his eternal vigil, fighting fiercely to make up for the one time he failed his king in life. Conclusion Khafru the Deathkeeper may not be the most well-known Epic champion, but don’t sleep on his potential. With the right gear, masteries, blessings, and build, he can be a top-tier choice for Hydra, Clan Boss, and other content requiring survivability and team support. Whether you're a new or experienced player, adding Khafru to your lineup is a great investment for those difficult battles where you need a champion who can take hits and keep your team going strong.

Khafru the Deathkeeper Champion Guide – RAID: Shadow Legends

<a href="https://youtu.be/7hEqOVOJfGU" target="_blank">Thor Faehammer</a>, the legendary Barbarian attack champion in<a href="https://www.raidshadowlegends.com" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"> RAID: Shadow Legends</a>, has quickly earned a reputation as one of the most powerful nukers in the game. With a design inspired by the Norse god Thor, he looks every bit as fierce as his in-game performance. Whether you’re battling through Campaign, dominating Arena, or conquering Hydra Clan Boss, Thor Faehammer can be a game-changer if built correctly. In this guide, we’ll break down Thor Faehammer’s best builds, gear, masteries, blessings, and where he excels in various content. <a href="https://youtu.be/7hEqOVOJfGU" target="_blank"><img src="https://api.flotiq.com/image/0x0/_media-bbd44d0a-111b-4931-8aa7-1c0443158535.PNG" title="Thor Faehammer" alt="Thor Faehammer" style="width: 800px; height: 469px; display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"></a> Thor Faehammer’s Skills Breakdown A1: Wrath of Mjolnir Attacks 1 enemy twice with a 20% chance of repeating the attack. Each hit reduces the target's Turn Meter by 10%. Best Use: This skill is especially effective in areas like Dark Fae, where Turn Meter control is crucial. With the ability to repeat his attacks, Thor can keep enemies at bay while ramping up his Thunder counter. A2: Fulminous Ricochet (AOE) Attacks all enemies after the first selected target, with each hit increasing damage by 25%, stacking up to 100%. The skill also ignores Block Damage and Unkillable buffs. Best Use: This is Thor’s signature nuke skill, dealing massive damage across multiple enemies and ignoring some of the most annoying buffs like Block Damage and Unkillable. It's particularly useful in the Arena, where champions like Leorius or Skullcrown often rely on these buffs for survival. A3: Hammer of Heaven (AOE) Attacks all enemies while buffing himself with a 50% Increase ATK and a 30% Increase C.DMG for 2 turns. Additionally, Thor has a 75% chance to decrease enemy RES by 10% (stacks up to 50%) and place a 30% Decrease SPD debuff on all enemies for 2 turns. Best Use: Hammer of Heaven makes Thor a powerhouse in Hydra, Doom Tower, and even Arena. The self-buffs ensure that this attack hits incredibly hard, and the debuffs make it easier for your team to land their debuffs. Passive: Sky Rupture - Every time Thor deals damage, he gains a Thunder stack (up to 10), increasing his damage by 3% per stack (up to 30%). Once he reaches 10 stacks, he attacks all enemies and places a Stun debuff for 1 turn. After the attack, the Thunder counter resets to 0. - Best Use: This passive stacks consistent damage while adding crowd control through the AoE stun when his Thunder counter hits 10. Aura Increases Ally ATK in all Battles by 30%. Best Use: A solid all-around aura, useful in any battle scenario. Best Build for Thor Faehammer Gear Recommendations Thor is a high-damage champion, and he shines with sets that boost his damage output or allow him to ignore enemy defenses. Here are the top gear sets for Thor: Merciless Set Prioritizing Ignore DEF, this set is ideal if you want Thor to deal maximum damage in high-end content like Hydra or Arena. Lethal Set Another great set for ignoring defense while boosting his critical hit stats. Slayer Set If you have the gear, a 9-piece Slayer set is perfect for boosting Thor’s AoE damage capabilities. Alternative Gear Combinations Lethal + Merciless/Cruel If you can’t gather a full set of Slayer or Merciless, pairing Lethal with Cruel or Merciless is also effective. It maintains high damage output by ignoring defense and boosting crit stats. Example Gear Setup Banner: Equipped with an accuracy banner to help land debuffs from Thor’s A3 (Hammer of Heaven). Amulet: Focus on critical damage for massive damage increases, especially when paired with the AOE skills. Boots: Attack percentage with speed is ideal for increasing damage while ensuring Thor has enough speed to execute his skills. Attack percentage on boots helps maximize Thor’s damage while still keeping him fast enough for key turns. Stats to Prioritize Attack%: Thor’s damage scales off ATK, so boosting his attack stats is key. Look for ATK% on your gauntlets, chest, and boots where possible. Critical Rate and Critical Damage: Max out his crit rate to ensure consistent damage. Pair that with high critical damage for devastating hits. Speed: While attack is a priority, don’t neglect speed. Thor needs to go fast enough to stack his Thunder counters and deliver his AoE attacks before the enemy team gets a chance. Accuracy: This is important to land his debuffs from his A3. In the example build, Thor had 240 accuracy, which was slightly lower than desired but still functional. Thor Faehammer’s Masteries Thor’s masteries should focus on maximizing his damage while giving him some utility in longer fights. Here's an optimal setup: Offense Tree Helm Smasher:&nbsp;We recommend Helm Smasher as a choice for Thor, which increases his chances of ignoring enemy defenses in PvP scenarios. This is a great choice if you plan to use Thor primarily in Arena, as it enhances his already strong AOE skills.Warmaster: If you're focusing more on PvE content like Clan Boss or Hydra, Warmaster is another excellent mastery for boosting Thor's damage. This would be the preferred option for sustained battles. Support Tree Pinpoint Accuracy: Increases Thor's accuracy, which is useful for landing his debuffs in PvE content. Cycle of Magic: Helps reduce cooldowns and gives Thor more opportunities to use his heavy-hitting skills. We prefer Warmaster for PvE content. The mastery build can be flexible depending on where you intend to use Thor more frequently. Thor Faehammer’s <a href="https://raidhq.gg/raid/blessing" target="_blank">Blessings</a> Blessings provide significant stat boosts or utility depending on the one chosen. For Thor Faehammer, the recommended blessing is: Nature’s Wrath We believe that Nature’s Wrath is the best blessing for Thor. This blessing increases Thor’s overall damage and synergizes well with his AoE-heavy kit. It’s particularly effective in PvE content like Hydra Clan Boss and other prolonged battles where his damage output can stack significantly over time. Thor Faehammer’s Lore Wielder of the legendary hammer, Mjolnir, Thor is as blunt and unyielding as the weapon he proudly bears. Before Asgard hid itself from the prying eyes of mortals, Thor was revered by the people of Frostheim. Huscarls sought to follow his example in his devotion to duty and unflinching loyalty to his lord and people. Warriors honed their bodies and practiced their battle-drills daily to emulate Thor’s incredible strength and formidable endurance. Fulminancers and stormcasters held him as their patron for his mastery of thunder and lightning. The hammer became ingrained in Frostheim culture as a symbol of str... The tales of Thor’s countless great deeds were told all over Frostheim. One favorite told of how he tied the terrible Demon-serpent, Jorgunmundr, into an unsolvable knot and cast it into the freezing ocean to drown. Another was the time when he slew a dozen Dragonkin assassins who reached Odin’s throne room disguised as diplomats – those he did not crush into scaled paste with Mjolnir, he throttled with his bare hands. Thor’s greatest victory became known as the Jotunn-breaking. The Rimetitans, a powerful Jotunn clan, expanded from their domains in the Razor-fjords, in the northeast Redspikes, destroying villages, stealing livestock, and butchering people. Magically attuned to the region’s wintry climes, the Jotunn’s skin was blue and hard as frozen rock, their hair icicles and hoarfrost. They bore jagged shields and weapons of solid mountain rock, which they carved with their bare teeth. Alone, Thor met hundreds of Rimetitans atop the Storokk Glacier as the sun set. War cries, the cracking of rock, and bellows of pain were heard fifty leagues away, and in numerous towns, the ‘night was made day’ by the flashing of countless lightning bolts. It was over by sunrise. Trackers climbed to the glacier's top and peered over the edge. The Storokk’s surface was littered with the body parts of pulverized Jotunn and smeared with their blood. Body parts charred by lightning were so intermingled with the gore there was no telling how many Jotunn there had been. Thor was nowhere to be seen. When he returned to Asgard, he carried on his back the severed head of the Rimetitans’ chieftain, his forehead caved in where Mjolnir had struck it. The Rimetitans all but disappeared from history. It was some time after this battle, early in the Age of Treachery, that Thor met Loki, a wandering Fae who had come to Asgard. The two were polar opposites, Loki irreverent and sly, Thor serious and true. Both realized they had a love of adventuring across wild Teleria. Loki plied Thor with questions about the Redspikes, and Thor was fascinated by Loki’s tales of the jungles of Torcelin Istriv and the shifting dunes of the Krokhan Desert. The two spent years adventuring together. Thor showed Loki every inch of the Redspikes; he could name every peak, river, ridge, and pass. They traveled into wider Anhelt, including the Mountains of Despair, of which Thor knew little less than his own land. Together they beheld wonders, escaped monsters, tumbled down scree slopes, and swam through raging torrents. He was always disappointed, however, that Loki never showed him anything from his amazing tales. They never traveled to distant Peltas to see the arenas of Velyzar or the city-sized marshes of the Sorrowlakes. Long after Loki had disappeared without a word, upsetting Thor who trusted his friend had good reason, Freyja the Golden spoke of visions connected to the elusive Fae. Thor was at first happy – perhaps his friend was returning. But as she continued, Freyja said she saw signs connecting the Trickster with a plot to free the Fire Knight and thaw the Waters of Life. Thor felt betrayed. Was Loki using everything he taught him about the nature of ice and snow, of the dangers of mountains and how to survive them, in a quest to do the unthinkable? Ultimately, the answer mattered not. Odin silently ordered Thor to apprehend Loki and bring him to Asgard. It almost certainly meant fighting his old friend, though he hoped it would not come to that. One question did occur to him – what if Loki was doing this for good? What if Freyja misunderstood or missed some crucial detail? The only way to know was to find Loki… but the Fae was a clever being. He was not above lying, a skill he could easily use for ill. Thor hoped his friendship with Loki would see all this settled. If he had to bring Mjolnir to bear he would, but the thought of that was as dark as the clouds above as he departed Asgard. Final Thoughts: Is Thor Faehammer Worth It? If you’re lucky enough to have pulled Thor Faehammer or completed his Fusion event, congratulations! Thor is an incredibly versatile and powerful champion with immense damage potential in both PvE and PvP. Whether you’re looking for a high-damage dealer for your Hydra team, a fast campaign farmer, or an Arena nuker, Thor can fill those roles with ease. His utility, especially his ability to ignore Unkillable and Block Damage, makes him a fantastic counter to some of the most common defensive strategies in the game. Build him with high Attack, Crit Rate, Crit Damage, and enough Speed and Accuracy, and Thor will become a force to be reckoned with on your account.
