In RAID: Shadow Legends, buffs and debuffs are pivotal to battle success. Buffs empower your team, while debuffs cripple enemies, impacting both PvE and PvP encounters. Strategic use of these effects can dramatically shift the tide of battle.
Some effects are straightforward—increasing attack or reducing defense—while others are more nuanced, like preventing revives or manipulating enemy targeting. Let's explore common buffs and debuffs, their mechanics, and effective usage.
Buffs: Empowering Your Champions
Buffs significantly enhance champion abilities, boosting survivability and damage output. They are crucial for both offensive and defensive strategies.
- Increase ATK: Boosts attack by 25% or 50%, increasing damage dealt.
- Increase DEF: Raises defense by 30% or 60%, mitigating incoming damage.
- Increase SPD: Accelerates turn meter by 15% or 30%, increasing action frequency.
- Increase C. RATE: Increases critical hit chance by 15% or 30%.
- Increase C. DMG: Boosts critical hit damage by 15% or 30%.
- Increase ACC: Improves debuff landing chance by 25% or 50%.
- Increase RES: Raises resistance to debuffs by 25% or 50%.
Debuffs: Weakening Your Enemies
Effective debuffs can significantly hinder enemy capabilities.
Sustain Disruption:
- Heal Reduction: Reduces healing by 50% or 100%, limiting enemy recovery.
- Block Buffs: Prevents the target from gaining buffs, neutralizing support.
- Block Revive: Prevents revival if the target is killed while debuffed.
Damage Over Time:
- Poison: Deals 2.5% or 5% of max HP damage at the start of each turn.
- HP Burn: Inflicts 3% max HP damage to the target and allies at the start of each 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: Increases damage taken when allies are hit, ignoring defense.
Strategic debuff application, particularly crowd control (Stun, Provoke), can neutralize powerful enemies. Blocking buffs weakens defensive teams.
Mastering buffs and debuffs is key to success in RAID: Shadow Legends. A balanced team utilizes both to dominate the battlefield.
