RAID: Shadow Legends: Mastering Champion Buffs & Debuffs

by Isabella Mar 12,2025

Buffs and debuffs are pivotal in RAID: Shadow Legends battles. Buffs empower your team, while debuffs cripple enemies, impacting both PvE and PvP encounters. Strategic use of these effects can dramatically alter the fight's outcome.

Some buffs and debuffs are straightforward—like boosting attack or reducing defense—while others are more nuanced, such as preventing revivals or forcing target prioritization. Let's explore the most common ones:

Buffs: Empowering Your Champions

Buffs significantly enhance champion capabilities, increasing survivability and damage output. They're crucial for both offense and defense in Raid: Shadow Legends.

  • Increase ATK: Boosts attack by 25% or 50%, significantly increasing damage.
  • Increase DEF: Raises defense by 30% or 60%, reducing incoming damage.
  • Increase SPD: Accelerates turn meter by 15% or 30%, increasing action frequency.
  • Increase C. RATE: Increases critical hit rate by 15% or 30%.
  • Increase C. DMG: Boosts critical damage by 15% or 30%, maximizing critical hit impact.
  • Increase ACC: Improves accuracy by 25% or 50%, enhancing debuff application.
  • Increase RES: Raises resistance by 25% or 50%, reducing the effectiveness of enemy debuffs.

Debuffs: Weakening Your Opponents

Effective debuff application can significantly hinder enemy capabilities. Here are some key examples:

Healing and Buff Prevention:

  • Heal Reduction: Reduces healing by 50% or 100%, disrupting enemy sustain.
  • Block Buffs: Prevents the target from receiving any buffs, neutralizing support.
  • Block Revive: Prevents revival if the target is killed while the debuff is active.

Damage-over-Time (DoT):

  • Poison: Deals 2.5% or 5% of max HP as damage at the start of each turn.
  • HP Burn: Inflicts 3% max HP damage to the afflicted champion and allies at the start of their turn (only one HP Burn per champion).
  • Poison Sensitivity: Increases damage taken from Poison by 25% or 50%.
  • Bomb: Explodes after a set number of turns, dealing defense-ignoring damage.

Unique Mechanics:

  • Weaken: Increases damage taken by 15% or 25%.
  • Leech: Heals attackers for 18% of damage dealt to the affected enemy.
  • Hex: Inflicts extra damage when allies are hit, ignoring defense.

Mastering crowd control debuffs (like Stun or Provoke) and strategic Block Buff usage can significantly impact battle outcomes, especially in PvP.

Buffs and debuffs are fundamental to RAID: Shadow Legends strategy. Effective utilization is key to victory. A balanced team leverages both to dominate the battlefield.
