Introduction to Artak: A Powerful Free Champion
Right, let’s dive into an in-depth guide on Raid Shadow Legends Artak, a truly formidable champion in Raid: Shadow Legends. This Orc HP champion, obtained as a free 7-day login reward, has proven to be incredibly versatile and powerful, especially in end-game content. His kit is designed around applying and activating HP Burns while also providing crucial debuffs and self-sustain, making him a valuable asset for many players at all stages of progression.
Understanding Artak’s Core Abilities and Passive
Chaosrazor
His default attack also hits all enemies and has a chance to extend the duration of all HP Burn debuffs on the target by 1 turn. This allows him to maintain the burn effect for longer, increasing overall damage.
Dogs of War
This ability hits all enemies, instantly activates HP Burns, and applies a 2-turn Decrease Attack debuff—making it one of the best for end-game boss damage and control.
Purifyre
This core skill hits all enemies twice: the first hit places HP Burn, and the second restores 10% of Artak’s destroyed Max HP per resisted or blocked burn—key for his sustain.
Burning Blood (P)
Artak’s passive boosts his stats by 1% for every 1% of Max HP lost (up to 50%), creating a powerful cycle of damage and self-buffing tied to his HP Burn and healing mechanics.

Blessings
Recommended Blessings
Cruelty
When this champion hits an enemy, it reduces their DEF until the end of the round. The effect doesn't stack, but multiple Cruelty blessings can work together up to the max allowed by the highest awakening level. At max level (6), it decreases DEF by 4% per hit, up to 40% for champions and 20% for bosses.
Emergency Heal
This blessing heals the champion whenever a Shield buff on them expires, is removed, or broken by an enemy. The heal scales with blessing level—up to 15% of their max HP at level 6.
Key Artifact Sets for Artak
Artifact Recommendations
Perception
This set, crafted in the Forge using materials from the Arena and Faction Wars, is an upgraded Accuracy set that also boosts Speed—two of the most important stats for most champions. It's highly valuable, easy to access in early to mid-game, and remains effective for optimizing builds later on. A versatile set, it's great for nearly all areas of the game.
Savage
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.
Relentless
Only obtainable from top tournament rewards. Best for PvE due to its inconsistency. Useful for extra turns—great for damage dealers, healers, or Turn Meter control champs.
