Harima: The Ultimate Guide to the Shadowkin’s Legendary Nuker

Raid Shadow Legends Harima is a Force affinity legendary from the Shadowkin faction, known as one of the top nukers in the game. She combines tanky Defence-scaling damage with powerful crowd control, making her a standout in both Arena and PvE content like Clan Boss, Faction Wars, and Doom Tower. Once built, she can significantly elevate an account’s performance.
Harima’s Remarkable Kit
Resistance Aura
Aura In Arena battles, Harima provides an 80 Resistance boost to all allies, which is considered an A+ tier aura, greatly enhancing your team’s survivability against debuffs.
Debasement
Debasement (A1): Hits one enemy with a 75% chance to place a 50% Decrease Attack debuff for 2 turns. If it’s a critical hit, there’s a 50% chance to spread the debuff to all enemies. Scales with Defence and excels in Clan Boss and Hydra.
Purgative Punishment
Purgative Punishment (A2): Harima attacks one enemy 3 times, decreasing their Defence and increasing her own by 5% per hit (up to 30% and 100% respectively). The debuff doesn’t require Accuracy, and killing the target instantly triggers her A3. Scales with Defence and is top-tier in Clan Boss, Arena, and Hydra.
Celestial Awe
Celestial Awe (A3): AoE attack that places a 1-turn Provoke on all enemies. Against Demonspawn, the provoke can’t be blocked or resisted. Great for Hydra control. Scales with Defence and has a 3-turn cooldown when booked.
Demon Slayer
Demon Slayer (Passive): Reduces enemy Ignore Defence effects by 50% for her whole team. Demonspawn champs can’t crit Harima, and she can’t weak hit them, making her a strong counter in PvP.

Blessings
Recommended Blessings
Heavencast
This skill increases the Champion’s damage based on the number of buffs they have, up to a max of 20% at Level 6 (2% per buff). It does not boost damage from Poison, HP Burn, or Bomb debuffs.
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.
Recommended Artifact Sets
Artifact Recommendations
Lethal

Lethal is the best set in the game for any damage dealer and a must-have for anyone serious about competing in the Arena. As an upgrade to the Savage Set, it not only ignores 25% of enemy Defense but also provides an additional 10% Critical Rate, allowing you to allocate more stats toward primary stats or Critical Damage. This powerful set can only be acquired from the Doom Tower by defeating Dark Fae.
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.
Merciless

Merciless is the best damage set in the entire game—outshining even Savage and Lethal as the new go-to for top-tier damage dealers. This powerful set combines the benefits of multiple sets, including Savage, Lethal, Cruel, Critical Damage, Reflex, and Relentless, all in one. It’s exclusively obtainable by defeating bosses in the Cursed City of Sintranos, and early impressions suggest it’s relatively easy to farm.

Harima's damage scales with Defence, so Defence % is a paramount stat. Other crucial stats for her are Critical Rate (aim for 100%), Critical Damage, and Speed. Health % is also important for her survivability, especially in PvP. While her provoke against Demonspawn doesn't require accuracy, you will need Accuracy if you intend to land her Decrease Attack debuffs or provoke non-Demonspawn targets. Resistance is also a very strong stat for her, particularly in Arena, to prevent her from being controlled.
Conclusion
In conclusion, Harima is an incredible Legendary champion, offering a unique blend of high damage, exceptional survivability, and unparalleled crowd control, especially against the troublesome Demonspawn faction. Investing in her will undoubtedly elevate your account's performance across virtually all areas of Raid: Shadow Legends.
