Buffs and debuffs are pivotal in shaping the outcome of battles in RAID: Shadow Legends. These effects can either bolster your team's capabilities or hinder your opponents, making them essential tools in both PvE and PvP scenarios. Understanding and strategically deploying buffs and debuffs can significantly influence the flow and result of any fight.
Buffs are positive effects that enhance your champions' abilities, making them more formidable in combat. They are crucial for both offensive and defensive strategies, helping your team to endure longer and inflict more damage. Here's a breakdown of some common buffs and how they work:
- Increase ATK: This buff boosts a champion's Attack by 25% or 50%, amplifying their damage output.
- Increase DEF: It raises Defense by 30% or 60%, which helps in reducing the damage your champions receive.
- Increase SPD: Speeds up a champion's turn meter by 15% or 30%, allowing them to act more frequently.
- Increase C. RATE: Enhances Critical Rate by 15% or 30%, increasing the likelihood of landing critical hits.
- Increase C. DMG: Boosts Critical Damage by 15% or 30%, making those critical hits more devastating.
- Increase ACC: Improves Accuracy by 25% or 50%, which is vital for successfully applying debuffs to enemies.
- Increase RES: Raises Resistance by 25% or 50%, making it tougher for enemies to apply debuffs to your champions.
Debuffs, on the other hand, are negative effects that weaken enemies, either by reducing their stats or limiting their actions. They can be game-changers, especially when used strategically. Here are some key debuffs and their effects:
- Heal Reduction: Cuts down healing effects by 50% or 100%, hampering the enemy's ability to recover HP.
- Block Buffs: Prevents the target from receiving any buffs, effectively neutralizing their support systems.
- Block Revive: Stops the target from being revived if they die while under this debuff's effect.
- 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. Note that only one HP Burn debuff can be active per champion.
- Poison Sensitivity: Increases damage taken from Poison debuffs by 25% or 50%.
- Bomb: A debuff that explodes after a set number of turns, dealing damage that bypasses defense.
- 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.
Mastering the use of these buffs and debuffs is crucial for controlling the battlefield. Crowd control debuffs like Stun or Provoke can neutralize high-threat enemies, while strategic application of Block Buffs can dismantle defensive strategies in PvP.
