Plarium divides all Raid Shadow Legends champions into 15 different factions. Here is the list:

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

This tier list categorizes champions into SS, S, A, and B tiers under their respective factions. Like other gachas’ tier lists, the SS tier offers the most overpowered Champions, and B lists the weaker Champions who are great for Raid Shadow Legends beginners. Here is a detailed explanation of each rank:

SS-tier: This Raid Shadow Legends tier list category offers the most overpowered Champions. Use them however you want and upgrade them whenever possible.

S-tier: If you lack SS-tier units, then use the ones ranking at S in this Raid Shadow Legends tier list. If you upgrade them regularly and give them the best equipment, they can dominate enemies in all game modes.

A-tier: Upgrade the A-tier characters of this Raid Shadow Legends tier list at every opportunity before including them in your team. They might not be as robust as SS or S-tier units, but they can help you in niche situations like Faction Wars, Dungeons, and more.

B-tier: The B-tier Champions are best for beginners to understand the meta better and familiarize themselves with the gameplay mechanics. You must max out their upgrades and ranks and give them the best equipment to make them valuable teammates.

It’s worth noting that the Raid Shadow Legends’ meta changes with every update. Plarium introduces new content and Champions and adjusts the existing ones by nerfing or buffing them, which changes the character rankings in the tier list.
