RAID: Shadow Legends - Champion Buffs & Debuffs Explained

Buffs and debuffs are pivotal elements in the battles of RAID: Shadow Legends, significantly influencing the outcome of both PvE and PvP encounters. Buffs bolster your team by enhancing their capabilities, while debuffs debilitate opponents by diminishing their stats or restricting their actions. Mastering the strategic use of these effects can dramatically shift the dynamics of any fight.

Buffs: Strengthening Your Champions

Buffs are crucial for fortifying your champions, making them more resilient, potent, and adept at withstanding enemy assaults. They play a vital role in the game's combat mechanics, essential for both offensive and defensive strategies, enabling your team to endure longer and inflict greater damage.

• Increase ATK: Amplifies a champion's Attack by 25% or 50%, enhancing their damage potential.
• Increase DEF: Elevates Defense by 30% or 60%, mitigating incoming damage.
• Increase SPD: Accelerates a champion's turn meter by 15% or 30%, allowing for more frequent turns.
• Increase C. RATE: Boosts Critical Rate by 15% or 30%, increasing the likelihood of critical strikes.
• Increase C. DMG: Enhances Critical Damage by 15% or 30%, making critical hits more devastating.
• Increase ACC: Improves Accuracy by 25% or 50%, facilitating the successful application of debuffs on foes.
• Increase RES: Augments Resistance by 25% or 50%, making it tougher for enemies to impose debuffs.

Debuffs: Weakening Your Foes

Debuffs are designed to hinder your adversaries, reducing their effectiveness and opening up vulnerabilities. Some debuffs focus on healing and buff prevention, crucial for disrupting enemy sustain:

• Heal Reduction: Diminishes healing effects by 50% or 100%, thwarting enemy HP recovery.
• Block Buffs: Prevents the target from receiving any buffs, nullifying both defensive and offensive support.
• Block Revive: Stops the target from being revived upon death while the debuff is active.

Damage-over-time debuffs inflict ongoing damage throughout the battle, wearing down opponents:

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

Some debuffs offer unique mechanics, adding strategic depth:

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

The strategic application of debuffs can decisively alter the course of a battle. Effectively managing crowd control debuffs like Stun or Provoke can neutralize high-threat enemies, while employing Block Buffs can undermine the defenses of PvP opponents.

Strategic Use of Buffs and Debuffs

In RAID: Shadow Legends, buffs and debuffs form the backbone of tactical gameplay. Skillfully leveraging these effects can mean the difference between triumph and defeat. Buffs ensure your team remains robust and shielded, whereas debuffs sap the strength and expose the weaknesses of your enemies. A well-coordinated team will adeptly use both to dominate the battlefield.
