Raid Shadow Legends is a fantasy-themed gacha game developed by Plarium for mobile and PC. In the game's fantasy world of Teleria, you summon characters called Champions and form a squad of four to engage in various game modes. The title features over 700 champions and one million possible team combinations. Each character possesses unique roles, abilities, and elemental types.

Choosing a few champions from such a colossal roster might become challenging, especially since you must select robust characters to win the battles. But fret not; this article ranks every champion in a tier list according to their combat prowess and utility, helping you choose the best candidates for your winning team.

The Raid Shadow Legends tier list ranks every character into SS, S, A, and B tiers under their respective factions. Each champion is categorized under one of these 15 factions:

  • Shadowkin
  • High Elves
  • Dwarves
  • Skinwalkers
  • Barbarians
  • Banner-Lords
  • Dark Elves
  • Demonspawn
  • Knight Revenant
  • Lizardmen
  • Ogryn-Tribes
  • Orcs
  • Sacred Order
  • Undead Hordes
  • Sylvan Watchers

Here are the details of each tier:

SS-tier: The most overpowered Champions you can find in Raid Shadow Legends. They are dependable in any situation and can outweigh any opponents you face.

S-tier: S-tier champions are the second-best characters in this mobile gacha title. They can help you clear most stages. However, you should upgrade them to make them as overpowered as SS champions.

A-tier: They consist of ordinary Raid Shadow Legends champions who provide average utility. However, if you upgrade them at every opportunity, they can be as robust as S or SS-tier characters.

B-tier: Champions who provide little to no utility in battles and are best fit for beginners are in B-tier. They are only helpful when you want to understand the meta and get accustomed to the gameplay.

Notably, the Raid Shadow Legends tier list changes with every update the game receives. It is because Plarium occasionally introduces new champions and buffs or nerfs existing ones, thereby shifting the game's meta. As a result, some characters' ranks change, modifying the tier list.
