Mastering Buffs and Debuffs in RAID: Shadow Legends
Buffs and debuffs are pivotal in RAID: Shadow Legends battles. Buffs empower your team, while debuffs cripple enemies, impacting both PvE and PvP encounters significantly. Strategic use of these effects is key to victory.
While some buffs/debuffs are simple (e.g., increased attack or reduced defense), others offer tactical advantages (e.g., preventing revives or forcing target prioritization). Let's examine common examples:
Buffs: Empowering Your Champions
Buffs enhance champion capabilities, bolstering offense and defense.
- Increase ATK: Boosts attack by 25% or 50%, increasing damage output.
- Increase DEF: Increases defense by 30% or 60%, mitigating incoming damage.
- Increase SPD: Accelerates turn meter by 15% or 30%, increasing turn frequency.
- Increase C. RATE: Increases critical hit rate by 15% or 30%.
- Increase C. DMG: Increases critical hit damage by 15% or 30%.
- Increase ACC: Boosts accuracy by 25% or 50%, improving debuff application.
- Increase RES: Increases resistance by 25% or 50%, reducing incoming debuffs.

Debuffs: Disrupting Enemy Strategies
Debuffs significantly impact enemy effectiveness.
Sustain Disruption:
- Heal Reduction: Reduces healing by 50% or 100%, hindering HP recovery.
- Block Buffs: Prevents the target from receiving buffs, negating support.
- Block Revive: Prevents revival after death.
Damage Over Time:
- Poison: Deals 2.5% or 5% of max HP as damage per turn.
- HP Burn: Deals 3% of max HP damage to the champion and allies per turn (one debuff per champion).
- Poison Sensitivity: Increases poison damage taken 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.
Crowd control debuffs (Stun, Provoke) and strategic Block Buffs dramatically alter battle outcomes. Mastering buff and debuff management is crucial for success in RAID: Shadow Legends. A balanced team utilizes both offensively and defensively to control the battlefield.
