Raid: Shadow Legends — Top Champion Comparison
With well over 900 Champions in Raid: Shadow Legends, deciding where to invest your Ancient Shards, Skill Tomes, and Enhancement Gems is one of the toughest calls a Summoner makes. Not every 5-star Champion deserves to be built first, and plenty of Epic Champions punch well above their rarity once they land in the right team.
The table below lines up a handful of standout Champions side by side — their current Tier rating, the game modes they excel in, and roughly how hard they are to actually pull and gear — so you can see at a glance where to focus your Shards next.
| Champion | Tier | Best Use | Difficulty to Obtain |
|---|---|---|---|
Alaz The Sunbearer Top Tier | ★★★★★ | Very Hard Sacred / Mythical Shards only | |
Acrizia Top Tier | ★★★★★ | Very Hard Sacred / Mythical Shards only | |
Alatreon Blademaster | ★★★★✰ | Very Hard Sacred Shards / Legendary Fusions | |
Admiral Blacktusk | ★★★★✰ | Very Hard Sacred / Mythical Shards only | |
Acelin The Stalwart | ★★★★✰ | Very Hard Sacred Shards / Legendary Fusions | |
Alice the Wanderer | ★★★★✰ | Very Hard Sacred / Mythical Shards only | |
Achak the Wendarin | ★★★★✰ | Moderate Void / Ancient Shards, CB chests | |
Akemtum | ★★★★✰ | Moderate Void / Ancient Shards, CB chests |
Tier ratings are a starting point, not a substitute for checking a Champion’s actual kit, Affinity matchups, and how they fit your existing roster before committing resources you can’t easily get back. For the full picture — every stat, skill, and area rating — head to the Champion Ratings database or run a side-by-side in the Comparison Tool.
