Arix, nicknamed the “smoke monster” for her unique look, is a free Legendary Champion in Raid Shadow Legends Arix. Though she takes about two years to unlock via daily logins, some players summon her earlier through Ancient Shards. As an HP-based Magic Affinity champion from the Knights Revenant faction, Arix is highly versatile, excelling in roles like damage dealer, crowd control, and support across Arena and Dungeon content.

Arix’s Core Abilities

Raid Shadow Legends Deathly Arts

Deathly Arts

Arix’s A1 is an AoE attack with a 35% chance to remove a random buff from each enemy. Its strong damage and buff removal make it key in many builds.

Raid Shadow Legends Thornchain Malison

Thornchain Malison

This AoE skill has a 75% chance to stun all enemies for 1 turn and transfers a random debuff from Arix to a stunned target. Cooldown: 3 turns.

Raid Shadow Legends Warped Guidance

Warped Guidance

Grants Ally Protection to all allies (except Arix) and gives her Counterattack for 2 turns. Key for triggering her A1 often. Cooldown: 3 turns.

Raid Shadow Legends Cynical

Cynical (P)

Heals Arix by 5% and boosts her turn meter by 5% when allies or enemies land critical hits, boosting her sustain and speed.

Masteries are crucial for refining Arix’s role and maximising her potential. There are several powerful options across the Offence, Defence, and Support trees. The choice between offensive (War Master) and defensive/support masteries often depends on the specific content. For high damage output against bosses, War Master is strong, but for a control-focused build, leaning into Defence and Support masteries like Harvest Despair, Fearsome Presence, and Lasting Gifts is generally preferred.

Blessings for Arix

Blessings

Brimstone

When Arix attacks, she has up to a 100% chance (at max level) to place a [Smite] debuff for 2 turns. Smite deals 25% of the target’s max HP when they use an active skill, plus 5% to all other enemies. Only one enemy can be afflicted at a time. Cooldown: 4 turns.

Cruelty

Each time Arix hits an enemy, she reduces their DEF until the end of the round. The effect doesn’t stack from multiple hits or champions, and the max reduction depends on her Awakening level—up to 40% for champions and 20% for bosses at level 6.

Recommended Builds for Arix

Artifact Recommendations

Retaliation

Gear

The Retaliation Set can be farmed from Ice Golem’s Peak or Campaign Stage 10 (Godfrey’s Crossing). Now a 2-piece set, it's often used as an off-set to give champions a chance to counterattack—particularly effective against Clan Boss or AoE-heavy Arena teams for added damage potential.

Stone Skin

Gear

The Stoneskin Set, obtained from the Hydra Clan Boss, is considered the best PvP gear in the game. While active, it makes the wearer nearly immune to damage, blocks debuffs, and prevents Turn Meter manipulation. Only a few skills, like Warlord’s cooldown ability, can bypass it. For serious Arena play, farming Hydra for this set is essential.

Revenge

Gear

Revenge accessories, available from the Guild Shop, are ideal for champions with an AoE A1, boosting their counterattack frequency and overall damage output.

Arix shines in many game modes, especially when paired with the right champions. In Arena, she’s a strong counter to heroes like Kamus and excels on counter-attack or tanky, go-second teams thanks to her survivability and control skills. In Dungeons and Doom Tower, her AoE stun, provoke potential, and buff removal make her an excellent crowd control champion. She’s also effective in Dragon’s Lair for duo or solo runs with poison setups. In Hydra Clan Boss fights, Arix serves as a reliable backup provoker and disruptor, benefiting from her counter-attacks and buff-stealing blessings.

Overall Perspective

Arix is truly a monster, especially when built correctly. Despite being a free daily login champion that takes a long time to acquire, she proves to be worth the wait. Her strong kit, featuring AoE attacks, stun, buff removal, ally protection, counterattack, and self-sustain, provides immense versatility. She can significantly impact live arena battles, serve as a potent counter to specific meta champions, and clear waves effectively in Dungeons and Doom Tower.

Her ability to perform as a damage dealer, controller, and protector, even without lethal or savage gear, highlights her exceptional value. Arix is a champion that many players, from mid-game to endgame, can find significant use for, making her one of the most exciting free legendary champions in the game.
