Let's delve into the most common buffs and debuffs, understanding their mechanics and how to leverage them effectively.

Debuffs: Weakening Your Enemies
Debuffs are designed to hinder your opponents, reducing their effectiveness in battle. They can be categorized into several types, each serving a unique purpose in combat strategy.
Healing and Buff Prevention Debuffs
These debuffs can significantly disrupt enemy recovery and support:
- Heal Reduction: Diminishes healing effects by 50% or 100%, thwarting enemy HP recovery.
- Block Buffs: Prevents the target from receiving any buffs, neutralizing both defensive and offensive enhancements.
- Block Revive: Stops the target from being revived upon death, ensuring they stay down.
Damage-over-Time Debuffs
These debuffs inflict continuous damage, wearing down enemies over time:
- Poison: Inflicts 2.5% or 5% of the target's MAX HP as damage at the start of their turn.
- HP Burn: Causes the afflicted champion and their allies to suffer 3% MAX HP damage at the start of their turn. Only one HP Burn debuff can be active per champion.
- Poison Sensitivity: Amplifies damage taken from Poison debuffs by 25% or 50%.
- Bomb: Detonates after a set number of turns, dealing damage that bypasses defense.
Unique Mechanic Debuffs
These debuffs offer strategic advantages through unique effects:
- Weaken: Increases the damage the target takes by 15% or 25%.
- Leech: Heals any champion that attacks the affected enemy for 18% of the damage dealt.
- Hex: Causes the target to take additional damage when their allies are hit, ignoring DEF.
Debuffs can dramatically alter the course of a battle. Effective management of crowd control debuffs like Stun or Provoke can neutralize high-threat enemies, while strategic deployment of Block Buffs can undermine defensive strategies in PvP.
Mastering Buffs and Debuffs
Buffs and debuffs form the strategic backbone of RAID: Shadow Legends. Mastering their use can be the deciding factor between victory and defeat. Buffs fortify your team, keeping them robust and shielded, while debuffs debilitate your enemies, rendering them vulnerable. A well-coordinated team will skillfully employ both to control the battlefield.
