Raid Shadow Legends Tier List: Current meta
If you’re playing Raid Shadow Legends and want to stay competitive, keeping up with the current meta and knowing which champions dominate is key. Below is our guide to the current hottest picks, divided by mode, with tier rankings and synergy notes to help you invest your resources wisely.
Why Meta Tier Lists Matter in Raid
The meta shifts as new champions, artifacts, or balance changes arrive. A champion who dominates in PvP (Arena, Clash of Factions, Offense/Defense) may be subpar in PvE (Dungeons, Clan Boss, Campaign, Doom Tower). A good tier list helps you decide:
- Which champions to prioritize leveling, gearing, or promoting
- Where to invest limited resources (e.g. books, masteries, ascension materials)
- What synergies to aim for in team compositions
In this article, we’ll highlight the top meta champions in both PvP and PvE as of 2025; for exact faction lists or full rankings, reference sites like Pocket Tactics or PCGamesN.
Meta Tier Rankings: PvP vs PvE
Below are sample top‑tier champions typical for the current meta (based on PCGamesN’s list and other sources).
PvP Meta Tier Table
| Tier | Champions (selected) | Notes & Synergies |
|---|---|---|
| S+ / Top | Marichka, Krixia, Taras, Galathir | Marichka + Taras is a classic pairing: Taras protects her while both contribute offense. |
| S | Odin, Krisk, Lydia, Cardiel | Strong flexible picks that work in many team builds. |
| A | Seer, Uugo, Maneater | Cost-effective and usable even when you don’t have all Legendary units. |
| B / C | Teodor, Gnut, Acrizia | Useful in niche or PvE content, but tend to struggle in Arena. |
PvE Meta Tier Table
| Tier | Champions (selected) | Best Use Cases / Remarks |
|---|---|---|
| S+ / Top | Acrizia, Cardiel, Mithrala, Riho | Some of the most broadly useful in dungeons, campaign, and clan boss. |
| S | Teodor, Taras, Siphi, Duchess Lilitu | Excellent supports or damage dealers across many PvE modes. |
| A | Warlord, Cupidus, Dracomorph, Uugo | Solid mid-tier choices; may require stronger gear to compete. |
| B / C | Staltus, Ramantu, Venus | Good for filling gaps but not top meta picks. |

How to Use This Tier List Effectively
- Match roles to your needs. If you need a healer, look for champions strong in PvE or strong in PvP depending on what you’re pushing.
- Synergy > Tier in many cases. A B‑tier champion might shine if built around your core team.
- Don’t neglect mid‑tier gems. Some “A” or “B” picks can outperform legacy meta picks if you gear them well.
- Reassess after patches. Always check for updates after major patches; metas shift and champions get buffs/nerfs.
Summary
The meta in Raid Shadow Legends is dominated in PvP by champions like Marichka, Krixia, Odin, and in PvE by picks like Acrizia, Cardiel, and Taras. But meta lists are a tool, not a rule. Focus on synergy, gear, and what your account already supports. Use these tier snapshots as a guide to plan your next upgrades — and always cross‑check with full tier lists on trusted sites as new content drops.
