These effects are crucial in both PvE and PvP scenarios, allowing you to strategically dominate the battlefield. Let's delve into the most common buffs and debuffs, understanding their mechanics and how to leverage them effectively.

Buffs: Strengthening Your Champions

Buffs in RAID: Shadow Legends amplify your champions' abilities, making them more formidable in combat. They are essential for both offensive and defensive strategies, ensuring your team can endure longer and inflict greater damage.

• Increase SPD: Accelerates a champion's turn meter by 15% or 30%, allowing them to act more frequently.
• Increase C. RATE: Elevates 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: Enhances Accuracy by 25% or 50%, improving the success rate of debuff application.
• Increase RES: Boosts Resistance by 25% or 50%, making it tougher for enemies to apply debuffs.

Debuffs: Weakening Your Enemies

Debuffs are designed to hinder your opponents, reducing their effectiveness in battle. They can be categorized into several types, each serving a unique purpose in combat.

Healing and Buff Prevention Debuffs

These debuffs can significantly disrupt enemy sustain strategies:

• Heal Reduction: Diminishes healing effects by 50% or 100%, thwarting enemy recovery efforts.
• Block Buffs: Prevents the target from receiving any buffs, neutralizing both defensive and offensive support.
• Block Revive: Stops the target from being revived if killed while the debuff is active, ensuring they stay down.

Damage-over-Time Debuffs

These debuffs inflict continuous damage, wearing down enemies over time:

• 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 be active per champion.
• Poison Sensitivity: Amplifies damage taken from Poison debuffs by 25% or 50%.
• Bomb: Detonates after a set number of turns, dealing damage that bypasses defense.

Unique Mechanic Debuffs

Some debuffs offer strategic advantages through unique mechanics:

• Weaken: Increases the damage the target takes by 15% or 25%.
• Leech: Heals any champion that attacks the affected enemy for 18% of the damage dealt.
• Hex: Causes the target to take additional damage when their allies are hit, ignoring DEF.

Debuffs can dramatically alter the course of a battle. Effective management of crowd control debuffs like Stun or Provoke can neutralize high-damage enemies, while strategically applying Block Buffs can undermine defensive teams in PvP encounters.

Mastering Buffs and Debuffs

Buffs and debuffs form the strategic backbone of RAID: Shadow Legends. Mastering their use can be the deciding factor between victory and defeat. Buffs fortify your team, keeping them robust and shielded, while debuffs debilitate your enemies, leaving them exposed. A well-coordinated team will skillfully employ both to control the battlefield.
