Often overlooked, she brings an exceptional mix of healing, buffing, and debuffing, making her highly versatile in many areas of the game. Whether it’s Sand Devil’s Necropolis, Fire Knight’s Castle, or general PvE content, Aeila proves herself to be more than just a niche pick. <a href="https://youtu.be/KUOMDyfHT_o" target="_blank"><img src="https://api.flotiq.com/image/0x0/_media-4a3f58b7-c0f5-4e83-b223-f7b2949f830c.PNG" title="Aeila Lifebraid" alt="Aeila Lifebraid" style="width: 800px; height: 471px; display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"></a> Aeila Lifebraid's Skills Breakdown Restorative Blow (A1) - Attacks 1 enemy. - Restores destroyed MAX HP of this Champion or the ally with the most destroyed HP by 25% of their destroyed MAX HP. - Damage based on [ATK] Upgrades - Lvl. 2 Damage +5% - Lvl. 3 Damage +5% - Lvl. 4 Damage +10% Song Strike (A2) - Attacks 1 enemy. - Before attacking, places a 50% [Increase ACC] buff on all allies for 2 turns. - Has a 75% chance of placing a [Sleep] debuff for 1 turn. - Damage based on [ATK] - Cooldown: 4 turns Upgrades - Lvl. 2 Damage +10% - Lvl. 3 Damage +10% - Lvl. 4 Buff/Debuff Chance +10% - Lvl. 5 Buff/Debuff Chance +15% - Lvl. 6 Cooldown -1 Healing Haven (A3) - Places a [Block Debuffs] buff on all allies for 2 turns. - Then, heals all allies by 30% of their MAX HP. - Cooldown: 6 turns Upgrades - Lvl. 2 Heal +5% - Lvl. 3 Heal +10% - Lvl. 4 Cooldown -1 - Lvl. 5 Cooldown -1 Rhythmic Flow (Passive) Has a 12% chance of granting an Extra Turn to this Champion or a random ally whenever they use a skill. Gear Recommendations for Aeila Lifebraid For Aeila Lifebraid, we prioritize speed, survivability, and enhancing her support capabilities to ensure she can cycle through her skills quickly, keeping buffs and heals up for the team. Righteous Set We chose this set to balance speed and survivability. Speed is key to ensuring Aeila can take frequent turns, and the set adds some extra durability. Speed Boots: We focused on speed boots to ensure she’s fast enough to reduce cooldowns and keep buffs active. Resistance: We built her with some resistance to make her more durable in prolonged fights. The accuracy requirement is low since only her [Sleep] debuff needs it. Alternative Gear Sets Reflex or Relentless gear sets are great alternatives. Reflex can reduce cooldowns, and Relentless capitalizes on her passive ability for extra turns. We also mentioned the Curing set, which would enhance her healing from Healing Haven (A3). Gear Stats Banner: HP-focused for survivability. Amulet: We went with a Supersonic Amulet with resistance. Ring: A Feral Ring for added survivability or accuracy. Chestplate: Defense percentage with HP for extra tankiness. Gauntlets: Focused on HP to maximize her healing potential. Stat Priorities Speed: The faster Aeila is, the more frequently she can take turns and reset her cooldowns. HP/Defense: To make her tanky and keep her alive in longer fights. Resistance: To make sure she stays durable. Accuracy: Only needed for her [Sleep] debuff, so we didn’t prioritize it unless using her in content like Sand Devil. Aeila Mastery Suggestions Offense Tree War Master: As her tier 6 mastery,&nbsp;War Master is great for extra damage in PvE. It allows Aeila to contribute to longer battles like Clan Boss and dungeons. Life Drinker: Provides healing when Aeila is under 50% HP, helping her survive longer in tough battles. Support Tree Lay on Hands: Increases healing by 5%. Paired with her Healing Haven (A3), this adds more sustain to your team. Healing Savior: Boosts healing by 10% when allies are under 40% HP, making her more effective as a clutch healer. Merciful Aid: Further boosts healing by 15% if the ally is debuffed, which is especially useful in long fights or against bosses. Lasting Gifts: Extends the duration of her buffs, including *Block Debuffs* and *Increase ACC*, making them last longer and improving team survivability. <a href="https://raidhq.gg/raid/blessing" target="_blank">Blessings</a> Commanding Presence We prefer Commanding Presence as Aeila’s blessing because it boosts the effectiveness of her aura, enhancing the overall strength of your team. If you’re lacking a strong aura champion, Aeila can fill that role effectively with this blessing. Miracle Heal An alternative blessing, Miracle Heal doubles down on Aeila’s already strong healing abilities. This blessing helps restore destroyed max HP, which is useful in dungeons like Sand Devil’s Necropolis, where HP destruction is a common mechanic. Combined with her&nbsp;Restorative Blow (A1) and&nbsp;Healing Haven (A3), it makes her a powerful healer in longer fights. Restoration While not the primary choice,&nbsp;Restoration is another option that enhances her healing and HP restoration abilities, making her even more effective in content where max HP reduction is a factor. Aeila Lifebraid's Lore In a time of terrible corruption and death, Aeila was a giver of purity and life. A dire evil had engulfed the Heart Tree of the Sylvan, and tendrils of Darkness were weaving their way throughout the Mistwood, root and branch. General unease and sporadic violence gave way to increasing anarchy and immense suffering. Waves of twisted Fae tore through the woods, straining the defenses of countless Sylvan settlements. Madness turned friends and kin against each other, and the empathic connection of the Rhythm meant the insanity could easily spread. It took incredible effort for Sylvan such as Aeila to pull away from the psychic milieu of the now-corrupted Rhythm, the primal heartbeat that had nurtured and sustained them all their days. The call of Siroth’s perverted Heart Tree was intense, but for some, their revulsion and terror at what their beloved Rhythm had become was enough to overcome its darkly powerful attractive force. Aeila and her fellow resistors fled their fallen homes as refugees, seeking supplies, succor, and allies. Decades elapsed as the Mistwood churned with evil and the struggle to redeem it raged on. Aeila, though vengeance was on her mind, more keenly felt a terrible sorrow and pity for the suffering of her people. Most of the survivors bore wounds from basic traumas or from the ichor-slickened claws of the corrupt Fae, which brought grievous long-term festering affliction. Heartbroken, Aeila retreated to fond memories of childhood. Her Fae father was a minor noble and often absent, but Aeila’s Elf mother was a devoted guardian. Aeila remembered golden days of sunshine amid the lush boughs, when her mother would sing Elf-songs to her and braid her long hair, filling her heart with gladness and warmth. She wept for such bygone days, for fear they might never come again. But the tears hardened her resolve, and she sought out the healers treating the injured. She asked to take up apprenticeship among them, and they were glad to have an extra set of hands to aid in their constant, urgent work. In both magical and mundane healing techniques, Aeila proved a natural talent. She sang her mother’s songs, wove petals into the hair of the stricken, and prayed for the mercy of nature untainted—for life to pardon old wounds with new flesh, and forgive slights with new growth. Her radiant compassion and the high level of care and attention she always gave to her charges led to miraculous recoveries. She came to be called Lifebraid, for her distinctive locks and for the way she seemed to weave a thread of health into the sickly. Aeila was thrilled to see the fruits of her labor, the smiles of those whose limbs were restored to function and whose internal ailments had abated. If only the Sylvan could have had all the time they needed to heal from their trauma. However, their struggle could not let them rest. War followed them, and Aeila was forced to take up sword and shield to defend herself and her patients from the spies, outriders, and vanguards of Mistwood’s horde of terrors. Necessity made a fine warrior out of her, but even in battle she sang her healing songs and prayed for the redemption of the corrupted that she had to slay. After some two centuries of strife, with the help of a newfound coalition, the Sylvan prevailed. Aeila lived to see this glorious victory, still active in the twilight of a long life spent giving generously of everything she could. Such dedication did not go unnoticed by the Arbiter, who knew Teleria would need Aeila in the future. Final Thoughts Aeila Lifebraid may not have been the first champion on our radar, but her mix of healing, buffing, and the potential for extra turns makes her an incredibly versatile support champion. With the right build focused on speed, survivability, and the proper masteries and blessings, Aeila can keep your team alive and strong, making her a valuable addition to any roster in RAID: Shadow Legends. Whether it’s Sand Devil’s Necropolis or Hydra Clan Boss, she offers a wide range of utility, and we highly recommend giving her a chance in your PvE teams.

Aeila Lifebraid – An Underrated Epic Champion in RAID: Shado...

Aeila Lifebraid – An Underrated Epic Champion in RAID: Shadow Legends

Welcome to our in-depth champion guide on <a href="https://raidhq.gg/raid/champions/zavia" target="_blank">Zavia</a>, one of the most iconic poison activation champions in <a href="https://www.raidshadowlegends.com" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">RAID: Shadow Legends</a>. A Dark Elf legendary, Zavia has been around for a while but remains a powerhouse, especially for poison-based teams. In this guide, we'll cover everything you need to know about using Zavia effectively - from her skills, gear setups, and masteries to blessings, lore, team compositions, and optimal strategies. <a href="https://youtu.be/4I5e7OUjqv4" target="_blank"><img src="https://api.flotiq.com/image/0x0/_media-22a40e28-1232-45f2-96ea-c7f74f854838.PNG" title="Zavia" alt="Zavia" style="width: 800px; height: 469px; display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"></a> Champion Overview Affinity: Force Role: Attack Faction: Dark Elves Aura: Increases Ally ATK in all Battles by 33% Base Stats (at Level 60) HP: 18,660 ATK: 1,586 DEF: 749 SPD: 105 C. RATE: 15% C. DMG: 63% RES: 30 ACC: 10 Zavia's stats make her a strong damage dealer, though her lower defense and reliance on high accuracy mean she needs to be geared thoughtfully to survive and maximize her poison debuff utility. Zavia Skills Overview Transfix (A1) Attacks one enemy three times. Each hit has a 40% chance of placing a 5% [Poison] debuff for two turns. Damage based on:** ATK This triple-hitter is effective in Fire Knight runs and synergizes well with poison activation strategies. Poison Rain (A2) Attacks all enemies twice. Each hit has a 50% chance (unbooked) or a 75% chance (when fully booked) to place a 5% [Poison] debuff for two turns. Damage based on: ATK This AOE ability allows Zavia to stack poisons on multiple enemies, setting up high damage potential with her A3 ability. Deadly Catalyst (A3) Attacks all enemies. Enemies killed by this skill cannot be revived, and it deals instant damage from all [Poison] debuffs on the target (reduced to 50% damage against bosses). Damage based on: ATK Zavia's A3 makes her invaluable for wave-clearing content, especially when paired with multiple poisoners. Calamitous Partner (Passive) Attacks 1 enemy. Applies a [Debuff Spread] effect, taking four random debuffs from the target and placing them on all enemies. Note: Only available when Belanor is on the same team. While niche, this ability can be devastating when paired with Belanor, adding unique strategic value in specific scenarios. Detailed Gear Setup for Zavia Zavia's gear setup is crucial for maximizing her effectiveness. Here’s how we recommend gearing her: Perception Set This set offers Accuracy and Speed, which are essential for Zavia to reliably land her poisons and have the speed to activate them. We emphasize using triple Perception on Zavia to ensure she has high Accuracy. Alternative Sets Players seeking to maximize damage can opt for sets like&nbsp;Savage or&nbsp;Lethal to bypass enemy defenses and boost her damage output further. Stat Priorities Primary Focus: Accuracy: Essential for landing her poisons consistently. Crit Rate and Crit Damage: Critical for maximizing her damage output, with a 100% Crit Rate target. Secondary Focus: Attack: Boosts overall damage. Speed: Ensures Zavia takes turns efficiently within team rotations. Survivability (HP and Defense): Mitigates her naturally low defense, enhancing her staying power in battles. Our Gear Strategy Balanced Approach: We prefer not to use top-tier nuking gear on Zavia, opting instead for gear that balances Accuracy, Crit Rate, and Crit Damage while also considering survivability. Survivability Adjustments: Given Zavia’s low defense, we recommend flat Defense or HP stats on accessories and substats if she struggles to survive longer fights. Masteries for Zavia Tailor Zavia’s masteries to match her role within your team. Here are the mastery paths we recommend: Offense Tree Deadly Precision (Crit Rate) Heart of Glory (Increases damage while Zavia is at full HP) Shield Breaker (Increases damage to shielded enemies) Single Out (Increases damage to targets with less than 40% HP) Bring It Down (Increases damage to targets with higher max HP) Life Drinker (Heals Zavia when below 50% HP) Cycle of Violence (Chance to reduce skill cooldown on critical hits) Kill Streak (Increases damage after killing an enemy) Methodical (Increases damage with each hit in a round) Helm Smasher or Giant Slayer based on content. Support Tree Pinpoint Accuracy (Increases Accuracy) Exalt in Death (Heals after killing an enemy) Lore of Steel (Increases Basic Artifact Set bonuses) Evil Eye (Decreases enemy Turn Meter with the first hit of a skill) Sniper (Increases chance of placing debuffs) Master Hexer (Extends the duration of debuffs) Best Blessings for Zavia We have several recommendations for blessings that enhance Zavia’s capabilities: Heaven Cast Effect: Increases Zavia’s damage based on the number of buffs on her. Use Case: While it doesn’t boost poison damage directly, it increases her raw attack power, making her hits stronger when paired with buff-heavy allies. Cruelty Effect: Reduces enemy defense and boosts overall team damage when Zavia is highly awakened (5 or 6 stars). Use Case: Great for synergizing with poison teams or debuff-heavy setups. Crushing Rend Effect: Allows Zavia to ignore a portion of the enemy's defense, boosting her burst damage. Use Case: More situational but useful for high-damage, defense-ignoring scenarios. Blessing Priority: We emphasize focusing on&nbsp;Heaven Cast and&nbsp;Cruelty for consistent performance, while&nbsp;Crushing Rend can be leveraged in specific setups. Zavia Lore Insouciant, fearless, and wickedly sharp-tongued, Zavia, known as the Winged Elf of Felwin, is a great enigma to the spies and statesmen of the High Elf nation of Aravia. No one knows how she acquired her famous wings, though many speculate that they are a work of magic, a clever mechanical device, or even a partial Skinwalker transformation. Her base of operations is unknown, her motives alien to the Aravian ethos. What the Aravians hold as ironclad, however, is that she is a threat to the crown and a subversive element. Zavia’s crimes are repeated, unauthorized crossings of Felwin’s Wall, the dividing line between Aravia and the bulk of Anhelt, including the Dark Elf territory of Durham Forest. Her most infamous feat was to seduce Belanor, a respected High Elf administrator who had been serving on the Wall. The Aravians claim that she used supernatural means to steal his heart, or else she holds blackmail material as leverage over him. They hesitate to countenance the possibility that Belanor simply fell in love with her and joined her of his own will, even though they know in their hearts that it is a likely possibility. Admitting that an Elf can be ruled by their feelings would tarnish their international reputation. Just as dangerous, if not more so, is Zavia’s message. In statements made during encounters with Aravian authorities, she has decried the existence of Felwin's Wall, called for an end to the schism between High Elves and Dark Elves, and championed universal freedom. While she cannot tear down the Wall with her bare hands, by trespassing across it, she aims to humiliate its keepers and prove to the world that even the mightiest of barriers cannot stop a determined migrant. She demanded freedom of movement for all living things, and proclaimed all borders and all nations to be an affront to nature and an assault on personal liberty. Such a radical, anarchic ideology was contrary to everything the Aravians stand for. Furthering their frustration is the fact that Zavia has never been spotted with smuggled goods or people, nor shown any motive besides sheer ideology. If she were bringing in rebels, stealing valuables, or committing any other typical crime, the Aravians could respond with typical means. But her vexatious idealism makes her unpredictable. Her trespasses themselves are her purpose. Eyewitnesses say that Zavia does not truly fly, but uses her wings to assist in making tremendous leaps, and can glide with them to escape high places and survive a fall of any distance. With these capabilities she is easily able to loft herself over the towering Wall and then disappear over the other side, and twice as she did so she encountered Belanor. After reporting his sightings, Belanor was noted to grow distant and distracted in his work. When Zavia came to him for the third time, he disappeared along with her. Both Belanor and Zavia became outlaws and bounty hunters were dispatched to track them down. For many months, Aravian trackers searched for the couple in vain, patrolling the Wall on both sides and investigating possible hideouts in Aravia and Durham Forest, to no avail. Despite the increased surveillance and security, Zavia has still made regular crossings of the Wall and, to the chagrin of the Aravians, Belanor has been spotted by her side. Somehow he too has acquired a pair of feathery wings, his snowy-white to Zavia’s gray. The Aravians are baffled and increasingly concerned – if the wings are not unique, but can be bestowed by some unknown process, they could prove the nucleus of a dangerous, body-modifying cult. They imagined a whole gang of winged bandits able to come and go as they pleased. Surely, they assumed, Zavia has been coming and going for some unstated purpose besides merely flaunting her capabilities. Perhaps she is starting just such a cult already, or organizing rebel cells across the border. But the most ruthless investigators of Aravia can find no conspiracies laid down by the Dark Elf intruder. Rumor has it that Zavia and Belanor have been captured by the Aravian authorities, possibly more than once, only to escape later. It is said they were held in chains awaiting their execution, but when their jailors came to escort them to the chopping block, they found the shackles undone and the cell empty, undisturbed by violence, as though the prisoners had simply vanished. All that was left behind was a pair of feathers – one dark and one light, as if to symbolize the schism of the Elves. Yet, as Zavia proclaims, the schism could be mended if only the Elves could see beyond their towering wall. Conclusion Zavia remains one of the best poison activators in RAID: Shadow Legends, offering fast dungeon clears, high poison damage, and invaluable utility with her revive-blocking A3. Whether you’re building speed-farming teams or tackling high-level dungeon content, Zavia is a champion who can bring a lot of value to your roster. Build her well, pair her with strong poisoners, and enjoy devastating your enemies with explosive poison damage!

Zavia Champion Guide: Poison Mastery in RAID: Shadow Legends

<a href="https://raidhq.gg/raid/champions/dark-elhain" target="_blank">Dark Elhain</a> remains one of the most overlooked epic nukers in <a href="https://www.raidshadowlegends.com" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">RAID: Shadow Legends</a>, yet she’s a free champion available to all players after just four months of daily logins. While she may not top damage charts against other heavy hitters like <a href="https://raidhq.gg/raid/champions/magnarr" target="_blank">Magnarr</a>, her utility, especially in freeze-heavy situations, makes her a must-build for players at any stage of the game. <a href="https://youtu.be/XgdKsU6_u4s" target="_blank"><img src="https://api.flotiq.com/image/0x0/_media-b7cb99b6-75ea-4985-83da-3bfcb19fbd80.PNG" title="Dark Elhain" alt="Dark Elhain" style="width: 801px; height: 468px; display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"></a> Skills Overview A1 – Necrotic Bolt Attacks a single enemy and destroys the target's MAX HP by 30% of the damage inflicted. This ability makes her particularly useful against bosses such as the Scarab King. A2 – Death's Majesty Places a 50% [Increase ATK] buff on herself for 2 turns, then attacks all enemies. This ability has a 50% chance to apply a 30% [Decrease SPD] debuff for 2 turns, making her a solid control option for waves and bosses. Cooldown: 4 turns (reduced with skill upgrades). Passive – Lethal Winter Fills her turn meter by 25% and instantly activates Death’s Majesty whenever she or an ally receives a [Freeze] debuff. This makes her a powerful anti-freeze champion, countering champions like Tormin the Cold. Passive – Veins of Ice Instantly removes any [Freeze] debuffs placed on her and converts them into a 30% [Increase C.RATE], a 30% [Increase C.DMG], and a 15% [Strengthen] buff, greatly enhancing her survivability and offensive capabilities. Gear Recommendations To maximize Dark Elhain’s potential as a damage dealer and anti-freeze specialist, use a gear setup that focuses on maximizing damage output while leveraging her unique ability to ignore enemy defenses. Lethal Set: This set is our preferred option as it provides a 35% ignore enemy defense bonus. It also boosts crit rate, crit damage, attack, and speed, making it ideal for maximizing Dark Elhain’s damage potential. Cruel Set: Provides a 15% attack bonus and a 5% ignore enemy defense. Combining this with Lethal or other offensive sets further enhances her damage and defense penetration capabilities. Main Stat Recommendations Gauntlets: Crit Damage (with high crit rate sub-stats). Chestplate: Attack percentage for maximum damage. Boots: Speed to cycle through turns quickly. Alternatively, attack percentage boots can be used for even higher damage output if speed is less critical in your build. Ring: Attack-focused for increased damage. Amulet: Crit Damage to maximize burst potential. Banner: Accuracy (if needed) or Attack to further optimize damage. Mastery Recommendations Offensive Tree Deadly Precision (increased crit rate) and *Blade Disciple* (increased attack). Heart of Glory (increased damage while at full HP) or *Keen Strike* (increased crit damage). Choose based on your preferred playstyle—consistent full-HP damage or higher crit burst. Life Drinker (heals by a percentage of damage dealt when under 50% HP). This boosts her survivability, particularly useful in prolonged fights. Bring It Down (increased damage to targets with higher max HP). Perfect for maximizing her damage against tankier opponents. Wrath of the Slain (increased damage for each dead ally) or *Cycle of Violence* (chance to reduce cooldowns of her skills when dealing significant damage). Helm Smasher (chance to ignore a percentage of the enemy’s defense). This mastery, combined with gear sets like Lethal and Cruel, maximizes her nuking potential. Support Tree Pinpoint Accuracy (increased accuracy) to ensure her debuffs land consistently. Charged Focus (increased accuracy when no skills are on cooldown). Evil Eye (decreases enemy turn meter on the first hit), adding utility for controlling enemies. Blessing Recommendations Crushing Rend Effect: Provides additional defense ignore capabilities, synergizing well with her Lethal and Cruel gear sets to maximize her damage. Recommended For: Players looking to maximize burst damage and defense penetration, making her an effective nuker in PvP and PvE content. Phantom Touch Effect: Grants bonus damage based on her attack, providing consistent bonus damage throughout battles. Recommended For: Ideal for PvE content and prolonged battles, enhancing her overall damage output. Cruelty Effect: Reduces enemy defense with each hit, stacking over time. Recommended For: Long-term utility in extended fights, benefiting both Dark Elhain and her allies by weakening enemy defenses. Dark Elhain Lore The future is never certain. None can know with certainty what could have been if one path were chosen by an individual over another, but it is possible to imagine an existence where Teleria’s greatest warriors were instead its most terrible despoilers. Elhain is one such hero. An Elven noblewoman of Aravia, she benefited from all the advantages of her station – a complete education in both scholarly and martial arts, and being told in no uncertain terms that she was superior to the many other peoples who inhabited Teleria. Such an attitude is not uncommon among the High Elves, but it is a seed that in some bears dark fruits. While Elhain became a hero of the Light, what would have become of her had she allowed her sense of superiority to lead her down a different path? If she met her match, might it have cut to the very core of her being? It was during the Conclaves of the Elves that Elhain encountered a Dark Elf who seemed every bit as knowledgeable and capable as she was. Named Kael, he matched Elhain during both the negotiations and the competitions that acted as interludes between talks. Elhain became intrigued by Kael, but what would have happened if she had treated her first defeat at the Dark Elf’s hands as a personal affront? Unable to accept that she had come off second-best, Elhain might have convinced herself that her rival had used dark magics to gain an edge. Kael’s supposed evil and duplicity seemed to be confirmed when he was later involved in an attempt to assassinate Queen Eva of Aravia. After he escaped, Elhain seized the opportunity for revenge and swore before her ruler that she would track down and slay the would-be regicide. So began Elhain’s hunt. She sought Kael first in Durham, but after several vicious encounters, was no closer to slaying him. Frustrated beyond reason, Elhain searched for something that would give her the advantage. She dabbled in the same dark magics she believed her rival was using, becoming obsessive. Elhain began to strike dark bargains, communing with Demonspawn and making oaths no true High Elf should ever have countenanced. One particular deal saw her surrender a fragment of her soul in exchange for a rime-coated bow whose arrows could pierce the very spirits of its targets. As her hunt stretched into decades, she finally made the most terrible deal. She realized that she needed power and longevity if she was to finally bring Kael to heel. Seeing little other choice, she embraced Undeath and through it, gave fealty to the Shadow God. In her arrogance, she believed such taint would not corrupt her. It was a tool only. Elhain eventually succeeded in her quest. Without need for sleep or sustenance, she tracked down Kael and ended him with an arrow. Only as he fell did Elhain appreciate the depth of what she had done. Victory had become her sole reason for existence, and now that it had been won, nothing else remained. Filled with dark ennui, Elhain might have ended her own existence over the body of her foe, but her own arrogance stopped her. She had merely done what needed to be done, or so she told herself. Siroth soothed her anguish and fed her convictions. He suggested she show everyone how much she had sacrificed, and the true extent of the superiority she had attained. She turned back for Aravia. It is fortunate indeed for the people of the High Elf nation that these events never occurred. Final Thoughts Dark Elhain’s combination of burst damage, anti-freeze capabilities, and overall utility makes her a valuable addition to any player’s roster. Whether you need a nuker, an anti-freeze counter, or a versatile champion for various game modes, investing in Dark Elhain will prove rewarding for both new and experienced players alike.

Lore of Marius the Gallant The legend of Marius the Gallant continues to inspire Skinwalkers and their allies even today, so many years after his apparent death. His story shows both the power and the potential of the Skinwalker transformation, and illustrates how, to some, it may not be a curse, but a blessing. Marius’ story begins during the Red Crusade, when Skinwalkers were hunted across Anhelt by the Sacred Order and their allies. Then a minor knight in service to a Banner Lord of Kaerok, Marius was already exceptional. Many of his fellow knights considered him the epitome of chivalry; a handsome, strong, and brave hero in the making. He had hunted bandits and dangerous beasts in the hills, and even once defeated the rotten Undead monstrosity known as Vogoth the Accursed. But it was his connection to his warhorse, Stormheart, that truly drew the attention of Marius’ peers. The animal was no less exceptional than its master, being of superb stock and glossy of mane. Stormheart could gallop farther and for longer than any other steed, and was as courageous as Marius himself. Indeed, some attested that Stormheart possessed an unusual eagerness for combat. The horse seemed to relish the sound its hooves made as they crushed bone. Moreover, while every knight learns to ride, few did so with the preternatural skill displayed by Marius. A consummate cavalryman, he and Stormheart worked together so seamlessly that onlookers often wondered if there was sorcery at work. The truth was, Marius and Stormheart were simply made for one another; theirs that rare partnership of man and animal that elevates both above their respective limitations. When his lord joined the Crusade, Marius followed as was his duty, but he was not shy about sharing his reservations as to the nature of their enemy. He could not help but see the Skinwalkers as victims rather than monsters. To his mind, they were no different to sufferers of plague or leprosy. Most weren’t even dangerous, save for a brief period after their transformation. But for all his misgivings, Marius was loyal to his lord, though he tried his best to hunt only those Skinwalkers who he believed had fully given in to their bestial selves and become monstrous. It was during one such hunt that Marius and his followers were ambushed by a drove of savage, porcine-featured Skinwalkers. Though Marius killed the leader of the drove, his followers were slain to a man, and Stormheart was fatally wounded. Marius’ mighty steed lay dying. Unable to bear seeing his dear companion in such agony, Marius drew his sword and ended the courageous horse’s life. In that moment, his own life became something much different. In the instant Stormheart died, his powerful spirit thundered into Marius, and his master was transformed into a towering creature, part man, part horse. There was no battle between horse and man's soul as with almost all Skinwalkers, but a conjoining, a homecoming, a bringing together of friends into a most unbreakable bond. Marius had become one of the very creatures he was sworn to destroy. But rather than succumbing to bestial impulse like so many of his fellow Skinwalkers, Marius was saved by the strong bond between himself and his steed. Even as his body twisted into a new form, his mind remained whole and stable, if somewhat confused. In the days that followed, that confusion gave way to a new sense of purpose. Marius believed that his transformation had happened for a reason, that he had been chosen to show his fellow knights the error of their ways. Thus began the legend of Marius the Gallant. Bearing his shield and lance, and his old garb to show to his old comrades he was still, in a sense, one of them, he galloped into battle against both his old allies on behalf of those they unjustly persecuted, as well as those Skinwalkers who threatened innocent lives. He became a hero to those Skinwalkers who wished for peace, and more than once led packs and herds into battle against their oppressors. Marius’ apparent death came in the foothills of Frostheim, when a band of knights of Kaerok attacked a village of peaceful Skinwalkers. Marius led the defense of the settlement, but joined forces with the attackers when the battle awakened a lurking horde of Skellags from a nearby frozen lake. Though Marius won the day, he was badly wounded. As he lay dying, an enigmatic woman, sheathed in holy light, appeared and knelt beside him. She was seen to whisper to him as he breathed his last. And when she rose to her feet, Marius the Gallant had vanished from the world, leaving behind only the stain of his blood and the lasting legend of his heroism. Conclusion Marius the Gallant is a game-changing champion who can elevate any team’s performance across multiple game modes. With his blend of AOE damage, buff removal, strong defensive capabilities, and the right blessings, Marius is truly a champion worth building. Gear him up, select the optimal masteries and blessings, and you’ll have a powerhouse ready to conquer even the toughest challenges RAID has to offer. Happy Raiding!

Value: This skill adds both protection and survivability, making Tatura a pivotal defensive support unit in prolonged engagements. Passive - Glimmer Hide Reflects 30% of the damage received back to the attacker and has a 30% chance to place a [Freeze] debuff on the attacker for 1 turn.

Aura Increases ally DEF in Doom Tower battles by 35%. Value: This Aura cements Tatura’s role as a defensive linchpin for Doom Tower content, providing a substantial defense boost to all allies. Top Gear for Tatura Rimehide Bolster Set Primary Use: General PvE and Arena support. Gear Strategy: The Bolster set provides a protected shield and a 10% heal every turn, offering excellent sustain and survivability for Tatura and allies. This build is great for content where prolonged fights and shielding are crucial. Stat Focus: HP and Defense to maximize the shield’s effectiveness. Speed is important for faster skill rotations, and balanced Crit Rate can enhance damage output. Guardian Set Build Primary Use: High damage mitigation for allies, especially useful in Hydra, Doom Tower, and longer fights. Gear Strategy: The Guardian set absorbs 10% of all damage dealt to allies. This synergizes with Tatura’s tanky kit, enhancing team protection while providing constant healing.

It is in the world's very essence, and has endured throughout its history. Magic lives inside living things of all ages and races, whether children, newly born into the world with gifts that no-one understands, or great and powerful beasts that have been revered for centuries. Magics reside everywhere, and it gives life to all things in Teleria. Some can be comprehended, some are deeply misunderstood, and some are beyond all mortal knowledge. It is the last of these that dwells within the creature known as Tatura Rimehide – a creature whose magic is one of wisdom, grace, and benevolence. A mighty, winged, and leonine chimera of ice and rime, Tatura cuts a striking figure wherever he prowls. His skin is pale blue, made brighter by the sheen of his golden armor and mask. Any enemy unfortunate enough to find themselves before Tatura's charge is run through with horns of razor-sharp ice. An ancient beast, Tatura has witnessed almost all of Teleria's history. He was there during the first wars between Lumaya and Siroth. He watched as the mortal races claimed their places in the world and created kingdoms, and he observed those same kingdoms fought with one another over ‘petty things’ during the Age of Treachery while Siroth plotted his return. The conflicts of the mortal races during the Age of Treachery gave many Demonspawn and necromancers space and time to pursue their nefarious schemes without persecution. The Winterlands, Tatura’s home, was sparsely populated and rumors told of ancient powers hidden there that evil forces sought out. Demonspawn incursions became more frequent, and necromancers stalked the snowy wastes, with retinues of Undead raised from Teleria’s many battlefields. Tatura fended them off as best as he could for years, fighting beside the few Norr people who lived there or, very often, alone. Though Tatura was successful in countless battles, his strength waned as time drew on, and each attack was increasingly likely to be his last. His strength had been pushed to breaking point when another coterie of necromancers attacked the Winterlands with hosts of thralls, and forced Tatura to retreat. They caught up with him at a frozen lake surrounded by towering mountains. The necromancers’ shambling hordes closed in on him as a massive snowstorm whipped up. Though weakened by years of struggle and fierce fighting, Tatura stood firm, expecting this to be his final battle. But it was not to be. Through the blizzard strode a mighty figure draped in a red coat, clad in a suit of plate armor embossed with an image of a great stag, and bearing a colossal sword on his shoulder. With a warm smile on his white-bearded face, he told Tatura hope was not lost, and that Light could yet win out. They fought together, back to back, for an hour, cutting down the minions of Darkness. Both were hard-pressed when another stranger appeared – a winged angel, armored in gold, wielding a long spear. She descended from the skies shrouded in electric-blue lightning, slamming into the Undead. Tatura was emboldened once again, and fought with a strength he had not felt in his weary muscles for many years, tearing apart zombies, ghouls, and wights with his claws. Together, these three warriors – Sir Nicholas, Gliseah Soulguide, and Tatura Rimehide – destroyed the necromantic horrors around them and slaughtered their evil masters, securing the safety of the Winterlands for another day. When the last of their enemies had fallen, the warriors spoke together. They shared grim tidings from the south, and Tatura spoke of his observations from his centuries of living. They decided they would band together to protect the Winterlands from any future incursions and, if needed, go to the aid of the rest of Teleria if tidings became dark indeed. Glad to have found friendship, Tatura returned with the warriors to Sir Nicholas' hall, which became his new home. Together, Tatura, Sir Nicholas, and Gliseah have become figureheads of resistance against the machinations of Siroth in the Winterlands, and symbols of hope to all who dwell there. Many times have they traveled further afield when their strength and courage has been desperately needed, rallying the hopeless and relieving the besieged across Anhelt and Peltas. Time and time again, Tatura has seen the strength of the mortal races tested and proven against the forces of Darkness, and no longer does he dismiss them so readily as he has in the past. He knows that, when the time comes, enough of them will always stand firm against whatever onslaught Siroth might have prepared to cast against them. And Tatura will be proud to fight by their side. Conclusion Tatura Rimehide offers unmatched versatility as a defensive support champion in RAID: Shadow Legends. With the right gear, masteries, and blessings, they excel in PvE and PvP content. Don’t let Tatura gather dust in the vault—optimize them today and elevate your team’s success across all game modes!
