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

Some effects are straightforward—increased attack or reduced defense—while others are more nuanced, like preventing revives or forcing enemy targeting. Let's explore common buffs and debuffs and how to utilize them effectively.

Buffs: Empowering Your Champions

Buffs enhance champion capabilities, boosting strength, durability, or resistance. They are vital for offense and defense, extending survival and amplifying damage output.

• Increase ATK: Boosts Attack by 25% or 50%, increasing damage.
• 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 Rate by 15% or 30%, improving critical hit chances.
• Increase C. DMG: Raises Critical Damage by 15% or 30%, making critical hits more devastating.
• Increase ACC: Boosts Accuracy by 25% or 50%, enhancing debuff application.
• Increase RES: Raises Resistance by 25% or 50%, reducing incoming debuff chances.

Debuffs: Weakening Your Opponents

Healing and buff prevention debuffs disrupt enemy sustain:

• 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 if the target is killed while the debuff is active.

Damage-over-time debuffs inflict continuous damage:

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

Other debuffs offer unique mechanics:

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

Debuffs can dramatically alter battle outcomes. Crowd control (Stun, Provoke) disables high-damage enemies, while strategic Block Buffs weaken defensive teams in PvP.

Mastering buffs and debuffs is fundamental to RAID: Shadow Legends strategy. Effective use determines victory or defeat. Buffs protect and strengthen your team, while debuffs cripple enemies, creating battlefield control. A balanced team utilizes both effectively.
