There are a lot of buffs and debuffs in RAID: Shadow Legends, making it one of the best role-playing video games out there in my opinion. There are limitless options for players to combine these effects together for the most powerful combos.
If you are new to the game and don’t fully know about them yet, or even if you want to have a better understanding of buffs and debuffs in RAID, you will definitely find this guide helpful.
All Buffs in RAID: Shadow Legends
- Ally Protection: The caster takes 25/50% of the damage dealt to a targeted ally Champion. This effect doesn’t work with Poison or self-inflicted damage. The caster uses its own DEF values to mitigate the damage taken.
- Block Damage: Immune to all incoming damage.
- Block Debuffs: While this is active, the affected Champion is immune to all debuffs. This buff cannot block instant debuff such as the Decrease Turn Meter.
- Continous Heal: Heals the Champion by 7.5/15% of their HP at the beginning of their turn.
- Counterattack: When getting attacked, the Champion having this buff counterattack the enemy using their Default Skill (first skill), dealing 75% of the normal attack damage. When getting attacked by multi-hit Skills, can only strike back once. Doesn’t respond to the enemy’s counterattack. Counterattack doesn’t count as a turn. Counterattack doesn’t stack with Extra Turn buff.
- Increase ATK: Buffs the Champion’s ATK current value (including all buffs) by 25/50%.
- Increase C.RATE: Buffs the Champion’s current C.RATE by 15/30%
- Increase DEF: Buffs the Champion’s current DEF by 30/60%
- Increase SPD: Buffs the Champion’s current SPD by 15/30%
- Reflect Damage: Champion having this buff will deal 15/30% of the damage taken towards the enemy when getting attacked.
- Revive On Death: When the Champion with this buff dies, immediately get revived at 30% HP and 0% Turn Meter.
- Shied: Champion having this buff is protected by a shield for a certain amount of turns. The damage coming towards the Champion will go to the Shield value first and has to break it before going to Champion’s actual HP (Unless the attack ignores Shield). Damage dealt to the Shield doesn’t count as damage dealt to Champion, so effects like Lifesteal don’t take effect.
- Unkillable: While having this buff effect, the Champion HP cannot fall below 1.
- Veil: Prevents the enemies from targetting the Champion having this buff. The champion is still getting affected by AoE attacks or Skills targeting random enemies. The Veil buff will get removed when the Champion attacks an enemy with damage; it will not get removed if the skills don’t deal damage.
When all alive Champions of the team are having either [Veil] or [Perfect Veil] buffs, it will be ineffective. - Perfect Veil: Similar to Veil but stronger. Champions having this buff do not lose the effect when attacking others.
- Strengthen: Decreases the damage dealt to a Champion.
- Increase ACC: Buffs ACC stat of a Champion by 25/50%.
- Increase C.DMG: Buffs C.DMG stat of a Champion by 15/30%.

A Champion can only take 1 HP Burn debuff at the same time. If all Champions of a team have HP Burn debuff on them, they will all stack and work normally.
- Leech: Any Champion who attacks Champions having the Leech debuff heals 18% of the damage dealt.
- Poison: Deals 2.5/5% of the target’s MAX HP at the beginning of the target’s turn, scales up with the target’s MAX HP, does not get affected by any other effects. Block Damage buff can block Poison. Poion applies to Shield first before the target’s actual HP.
