Introduction: Helicath’s Resurgence in RAID
Raid Shadow Legends Helicath is a Spirit Affinity Demonspawn champion known for his defensive power. Originally a free fusion in June 2022, Raid Shadow Legends Helicath gained fame in unkillable Clan Boss teams and now excels across content like Iron Twins, Hydra, Doom Tower, and Live Arena with strong ally protection and damage absorption.

Recommended Blessings
Brimstone
Each hit from this champion has a chance to place a [Smite] debuff for 2 turns, dealing 25% max HP damage when the enemy uses an Active Skill and 5% to all other enemies. Only one enemy can have [Smite] at a time (4-turn cooldown). The chance increases with skill level: 15% at Level 1, 30% at Level 3, 60% protected at Level 5, and 100% protected and unresistable at Level 6.
Polymorph
This effect has up to a 20% chance to place a [Sheep] debuff on enemy Champions for 2 turns when they place debuffs on this champion or steal/remove buffs. It can trigger once per turn, can't be blocked, and doesn’t affect bosses. Sheeped enemies lose their skills, have 150 Speed, and revert with 50% HP and no buffs. At level 6, it no longer requires Accuracy.
Recommended Artifact Sets
Artifact Recommendations
Reflex
This set, farmed only from Ice Golem’s Peak, is vital for champions needing fast ability rotation. With the AI Tool update, Reflex now reliably reduces one skill cooldown, making it highly valuable for champs like Coldheart. It’s also popular in Hydra Clan Boss for faster skill cycling.
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.
Speed
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.

For Helicath, focus on high Defense to boost survivability and enhance his shield. Speed is essential to ensure timely Block Damage application—aim for 251 SPD in Iron Twins Stage 15. Resistance helps him avoid debuffs, though pairing him with accuracy-reducing allies can ease that burden. Maintain a balance of HP for overall durability. Accuracy is mainly needed for his A1's Weaken debuff unless another champion handles it. Avoid Crit Rate and Crit Damage for Iron Twins to prevent triggering boss passives, but include them for Hydra if you're building Helicath for damage.
Build Philosophy and Important Considerations
Helicath is a versatile champion who can anchor your team’s defense across various content. Builds vary—Iron Twins setups avoid offensive stats, while Hydra builds use Crit for damage. With Block Damage, shields, Weaken, and counterattacks, Helicath is a strong carry for both mid- and end-game.
