RAID: Shadow Legends - Champion Buffs & Debuffs Explained

Buffs and debuffs are pivotal elements in the battles of RAID: Shadow Legends, significantly influencing the outcome in both PvE and PvP scenarios. Buffs fortify your team by enhancing their capabilities, whereas debuffs debilitate foes by diminishing their stats or restricting their actions. Strategically deploying these effects can be the key to dominating any encounter.

Let's delve into the most prevalent buffs and debuffs, detailing their mechanics and strategic applications.

Buffs: Strengthening Your Champions

Buffs amplify a champion's abilities, making them more formidable, resilient, or resistant to adversary attacks. These enhancements are crucial for both offensive and defensive strategies, enabling your team to endure longer and inflict greater damage.

• Increase ATK: Elevates the champion's Attack by 25% or 50%, boosting damage output.
• Increase DEF: Enhances Defense by 30% or 60%, mitigating incoming damage.
• Increase SPD: Accelerates a champion's turn meter by 15% or 30%, allowing more frequent turns.
• Increase C. RATE: Boosts Critical Rate by 15% or 30%, increasing the likelihood of critical hits.
• Increase C. DMG: Amplifies Critical Damage by 15% or 30%, making critical hits more devastating.
• Increase ACC: Improves Accuracy by 25% or 50%, enhancing the chance of applying debuffs to enemies.
• Increase RES: Raises Resistance by 25% or 50%, making it harder for enemies to inflict debuffs.

Debuffs: Weakening Your Enemies

Debuffs can drastically alter the dynamics of a battle by impairing the enemy's performance. They range from straightforward reductions in stats to more tactical effects that can control the flow of combat.

• Heal Reduction: Diminishes healing effects by 50% or 100%, hampering enemies' ability to recover HP.

• Block Buffs: Prevents the target from receiving any buffs, neutralizing both defensive and offensive support.

• Block Revive: Stops the target from being revived if they are killed while the debuff is active.

• Poison: Inflicts 2.5% or 5% of the target’s MAX HP as damage at the start of their turn.

• HP Burn: Causes the afflicted champion and their allies to suffer 3% MAX HP damage at the start of their turn. Only one HP Burn debuff can affect a champion at a time.

• Poison Sensitivity: Increases the damage taken from Poison debuffs by 25% or 50%.

• Bomb: Detonates after a set number of turns, dealing damage that bypasses defense.

• Weaken: Amplifies the damage the target receives by 15% or 25%.

• Leech: Restores HP to any champion attacking the affected enemy, equalling 18% of the damage inflicted.

• Hex: Causes the target to take additional damage when their allies are hit, disregarding DEF.

Debuffs can decisively shift the tide of battle. Effective management of crowd control debuffs like Stun or Provoke can neutralize high-threat enemies, while the strategic application of Block Buffs can undermine defensive strategies in PvP encounters.

Buffs and debuffs form the strategic core of RAID: Shadow Legends. Mastering their use can mean the difference between triumph and defeat. Buffs maintain your team's strength and protection, while debuffs debilitate and expose enemies. A well-coordinated team leverages both to control the battlefield.
