Raid Shadow Legends features over 700 characters called Champions. Each one performs unique roles, has elemental types, and belongs to different factions. With such a massive roster, choosing the best Champion for your squad becomes difficult. This is where tier lists come in handy because they rank every character based on their battle prowess.
This tier list ranks every Champion in the title from strongest to worst, depending on their power level and utility in combat.

Ranking Raid Shadow Legends Champions in a tier list
Your Raid Shadow Legends squad can include up to four Champions with these unique roles: Attack, Defense, Tank, and Support. Each character possesses three elemental types that interact with each other in a rock-paper-scissor-based system. Some Champions also have a Void element type that is neutral to the other three.
All Champions belong to one of 15 factions in this mobile gacha title’s lore. Here is the list:
- High Elves
- Barbarians
- Dark Elves
- Lizardmen
- Sacred Order
- Skinwalkers
- Banner Lords
- Demonspawn
- Sylvan Watchers
- Undead Hordes
- Orcs
- Knight Revenant
- Ogryn Tribes
- Dwarves
- Shadowkin
This article divides all Raid Shadow Legends Champions into SS, S, A, and B tiers. Like other gacha titles, SS comprises the most powerful characters, and the B tier contains the weakest ones.
Here is what each tier means:
SS tier: This tier features the strongest characters that outperform every other Champion in the current meta. Each faction’s SS-tier Champion has high attacking and defense stats. They provide excellent support to the team and tank substantial damage from enemies.
S tier: These units are the second-best Raid Shadow Legends Champions. They can outperform every other character but are less potent than the SS-tier characters. Upgrade them, and you can win all matches or game modes.
A-tier: Average Support, Tank, Attack, or Defense Champions are in this tier. They excel at their roles but might have difficulty after you clear the mid-game stages. You need excellent strategy and understanding of the meta to win with these units. It’s best to upgrade them at every opportunity.
B-tier: These units are the best fit for beginners in this fantasy-themed game. B-tier champions are the worst fighters, but starters can use them to understand the meta and gameplay better.
With all this in mind, let's take a look at the Raid Shadow Legends Champions tier list for September 2023.
