Raid: Shadow Legends Tier List July 2021

Teleria is under the evil rule of the Dark Lord Siroth and it’s up to you to assemble an army of heroes to return the land to more peaceful times. Unfortunately, you have no idea who to recruit to your cause. But don’t worry, brave adventurer, Gaming Verdict is here with its Raid: Shadow Legends tier list! Siroth doesn’t stand a chance! 

If it’s not already apparent, Raid: Shadow Legends is a fantasy-themed, turn-based RPG in which you have to build an army and liberate dungeons and castles in return for Shards, which contain the souls of fallen warriors – soon to be resurrected to your ranks, of course.

The game is played out via a story-driven single-player campaign with twelve levels, each divided into seven stages. The campaign is tied to the Arena, which is a multiplayer part of the game used to establish player rankings. As well as the Arena, players can also create and join Clans, via which members can fight Clan Bossed for enhanced rewards. Yes, it’s all very exciting.

Champions roles:

As well as roles, Champions also belong to one of four affinity groups:

Affinity	Strong Against	Weak To
Magic	Spirit	Strength
Spirit	Strength	Magic
Strength	Magic	Spirit
Void	None	None

Champions are also given rarity groups in Raid: Shadow Legends so this list will break down the different Champions in each rarity group, as well as their tier rating, which will be from S to F. The rarity groups are legendary, epic and rare.

Before heading into the Raid: Shadow Legends tier list, know that when you start your account, you do an introduction mission, which sees four heroes die. These are Elhain the Elf Archer, Kael the High Elf Warlock, Galek the Orc Warrior, and Athel the Human Knight.  These four characters are all very strong characters, but the goddess that watches over you as your story narrator only allows you to resurrect one of them. You’ll be pleased to know that all four of the characters are really good. Although, if you really want to know who the raid shadow legends best starter is, according to our tier list, it is Kael. Therefore, if you are reading this tier List before playing, then go with Kael. Although, don’t fret if you didn’t pick him, as there are way better picks awaiting for your later in the game.

These are the best Champions you can have within the game right now.
