Alright, let’s dive into a comprehensive guide for Raid Shadow Legends Elhain, one of the foundational champions in the game, and explore how to maximise her potential throughout your journey.

Elhain’s Abilities Explained

Raid Shadow Legends Health Aura

Health Aura

She is also described as a decent aura lead, increasing ally HP in all battles by 15%

Raid Shadow Legends Keen Shot

Keen Shot

This is her single-target attack. What makes it potent is that it places an extra hit if the attack is critical. This inherent mechanic is why achieving a high Critical Rate is paramount for Elhain builds.

Raid Shadow Legends Lightning Arrow

Lightning Arrow

Elhain’s “Lightning Arrow” is a hybrid attack. It targets one enemy first, then follows up with an attack on all enemies. It boasts an extra 15% chance of inflicting a critical hit, and critically, if the initial target is killed, she gains a 30% Increase Critical Rate buff for three turns. Despite this buff, it’s still recommended to aim for 100% Critical Rate regardless, as the buff is a “nice to have” rather than a foundational stat.

Raid Shadow Legends Valley of Death

Valley of Death

Valley of Death” is a straightforward yet highly effective ability. It attacks all enemies twice. This ability is notably efficient as it doesn’t require booking to reach its optimal three-turn cooldown, making her a viable campaign farmer early on. However, as you progress, she might be replaced by other champions in this role

Masteries Guide

  • Kill Streak
  • Methodical
  • Helmsmasher

Masteries significantly enhance Elhain’s capabilities. For a PvE build focused on Clan Boss or Dungeons, a common path will take her down the Offense and Defense trees. Key masteries include Warmaster, which provides bonus damage against bosses based on their MAX HP, making her viable in content like Clan Boss and dungeons. Other masteries on the offensive side often include those that boost Critical Rate, Critical Damage, and damage against specific target types. On the defensive side, masteries that improve survivability like increased resistance or healing upon killing an enemy are beneficial

Blessing Guide

Raid Shadow Legends Phantom Touch

Recommended Blessing

Phantom Touch

Phantom Touch has a chance to deal bonus damage to one enemy each time this champion hits a target. At max level, it has a 100% chance to trigger, with a 35% chance to deal a second bonus hit. The damage scales with 3.5×ATK and ignores 30% of the target’s defense. This effect has a 1-turn cooldown and only applies to one enemy per attack.

Recommended Gear Sets and Stat Priorities

Artifact Recommendations

Lifesteal

Gear

This set can be farmed from Dragon’s Lair or Campaign Stage 8 (Valdemar Strait) and is essential for early-game sustainability. While it doesn’t work with poison or MAX HP attacks, it’s ideal for keeping champions alive in long battles. Lifesteal is a go-to set for most Clan Boss teams and Faction Wars progression.

Speed

Gear

Speed is one of the most important stats in Raid Shadow Legends, whether you’re playing PvE or PvP, making the Speed Set one of the most valuable in the game. Early on, you can farm this set from Stage 6 of the Campaign, and as you progress, you’ll shift to farming it in the Dragon’s Lair. Acquiring good Speed gear is often one of your first major farming priorities.

Savage

Gear

Savage is a must-have set for any Arena Nuker or PvE damage dealer, offering a massive boost by ignoring a significant portion of the target’s Defense. In the late to end game, enemy Defense can greatly reduce the damage you deal, making this set incredibly valuable. It helps bypass those high Defense numbers, ensuring your damage dealers hit much harder. This powerful set can only be acquired from Fire-Knight’s Castle.

Base Stats Breakdown

HP 14,370

Where Elhain Excels in the Game

Elhain excels in multiple areas of the game thanks to her strong AOE damage and solid stats. She is an excellent campaign farmer early on, clearing waves quickly with her A2 and A3. In the Arena, her high damage output makes her a reliable nuker, especially in early stages. She shines in Doom Tower secret rooms that require rare, attack-type, or Magic affinity champions, particularly when equipped with a stun set for crowd control.

In dungeon content like Ice Golem, Dragon, Minotaur, Spider, and various Keeps, her Magic affinity and AOE skills make her a strong choice. While not as effective as poisoners like Kael for boss fights, Elhain remains a valuable nuker and control option with better survivability than other starters.

Final Thoughts on Elhain

In summary, Elhain is a fantastic choice for beginners who want a strong damage dealer that can also transition into a control champion for end-game content. By focusing on critical rate, critical damage, speed, and survivability, and leveraging the appropriate artifact sets and masteries, Elhain can be an outstanding champion for your account.

Frequently Asked Questions (F.A.Q.)

❓ Is Elhain a good starter champion in Raid: Shadow Legends?
