Introducing Gnut: The Dwarven Powerhouse of Raid: Shadow Legends
Gnut, known as Raid Shadow Legends Gnut, is a Spirit affinity Legendary from the Dwarves faction, introduced via fusion during Call of the Arbiter Episode 7. He’s one of Raid’s most impactful fusion champs, known for dominating PvE content like Fire Knight, Clan Boss, and Hydra. While not ideal for late-game Arena, his versatility and raw power make him a top-tier option for accelerating account progression—especially for players looking to catch up fast.
Gnut’s Core Abilities: Unpacking His Ferocious Kit
Accuracy Aura
He also has a powerful Aura that increases Ally Accuracy in dungeons by 80, which is an incredible boost for dungeon progression and can significantly ease your gear requirements.
Dwarven Might
Gnut’s A1 hits 3 times, reducing Turn Meter by 45% when booked. If the target is immune, each hit places a Freeze instead—making him excellent for boss control, especially in tough encounters like Fire Knight Hard.
Fury of the King
Gnut’s A2 hits all enemies, placing Decrease Attack and Weaken for two turns—great for reducing damage taken and boosting your team’s output. It also gives him Counterattack for two turns, syncing perfectly with his passive for extra damage.
Blessed Bash
Gnut’s A3 hits 3 times, reducing enemy DEF by up to 30%. It scales with both his DEF and the target’s Max HP, dealing huge damage—even bypassing typical caps. Each hit also heals him for 30% of the damage dealt, giving him strong self-sustain.
No Holding Back
Gnut’s passive lets him deal 100% damage on counterattacks and Ally Attacks (vs. the usual 75%), maximizing his impact with more Turn Meter control, Freeze debuffs, and overall damage.

Blessings: Tailoring Gnut for Boss Fights and Team Synergy
Recommended Blessings
Crushing Rend
This blessing ignores a portion of enemy defense based on their level, scaling with blessing rank. At rank 6, it ignores 1% of defense for every 10 levels (e.g., 10% at level 100) and applies on each hit. Lower ranks have weaker scaling and only trigger once per round.
Soul Reap
When Rathalos reduces an enemy’s HP below a set threshold, a Reaper appears to deal damage equal to their remaining HP, ignoring defense and damage reduction (except on bosses). At Level 6, it triggers at 20% HP and has a 100% chance to apply True Fear.
Recommended Artifact Sets: Building for Purpose
Artifact Recommendations
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.
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.
Accuracy
The Accuracy set, farmable from Dragon’s Lair or Campaign Stage 5 (Felwin’s Gate), boosts your chances to land debuffs. It's S-tier for early game progression, especially when substats and Great Hall bonuses are limited. Accuracy is crucial—without it, most debuffs won’t land. A good rule: multiply the dungeon stage by 10 to estimate how much accuracy you need (e.g., Stage 10 = 100 Accuracy).
Key Stats Breakdown: What to Prioritise for Peak Performance
Champion Stats Breakdown
| Stat | Value |
|---|---|
| HP | 19,650 |
| Attack | 749 |
| Defense | 1,520 |
| Speed | 99 |
| Critical Rate | 15% |
| Critical Damage | 50% |
| Debuff Resistance | 40 |
| Debuff Accuracy | 20 |
For optimal PvE performance, focus on Accuracy, Critical Rate, Critical Damage, Defence, and Speed. Accuracy is essential (aim for 350 in endgame), especially to land debuffs—his Dungeon Aura adds 80 Accuracy. Get Critical Rate to 100%, then stack Crit Damage (250–300%+). Maximize Defence (4,000–5,000+) as it drives his damage. Keep Speed above 200 to cycle skills effectively. Bonus stats like HP (40k–50k) and Resistance are helpful for survivability, especially in solo or poison-heavy content.
Unleashing Gnut's Full Potential: Final Tips and Team Building Insights
Gnut is a powerhouse, though his A1 animation is a bit slow for speed farming. Pair him with Ally Attack champs like Fahrakin or Turn Meter controllers like Nekmo to maximize his passive. He shines in boss fights, and while managing blessing resets can be costly, the investment is worth it. Built right, Gnut can carry your PvE progression and unlock content you once found challenging.
