EVERY EPIC RANKED (2025 Edition!!) | RAID: Shadow Legends

You could save yourself a lot of trouble by just saying this is a tear list from an endgame perspective, and that's why the epics can't touch.S tier

ya black bear should be higher

These ranking videos are great! I with I could rank my own champions like this in the game!... "Personal Ranking"

Umbral is better than a B. Put her in a single stoneskin and she's able to use her block buffs right after her provoke.

Hope in Sacred Order does NOT suck - she has team shields, block buffs on her A1 and an AOE buff strip on her A3 which is great for scarab king in doom tower on early game accounts. She is a solid B- or C+ epic.

giath being C tier, while scyl are B is crazy to me. I will never get over it.

I use Daz so much. I'd say A- honestly. I feel like he is viable for so long in the game (because of Arena viability)

No man, u r comparing 2 different categories like buggati cars with honda cars.It's irrelevant instead try like this,think of how many places u use that champ and rank like that.

8:44 biased by having Fyna. Not phenomal without

Before I continue watching, I think you are always going to always get the room temp IQ people commenting on videos no matter how much explaining you do.

Wow Tolf is D he can solo phantom shogun 25 dude.

Torturehelm can solo Sanddevils 25 with food.

Not worthless

Top 3 points I disagree with :
- Shadowkin : Wuji. In a cursed set, Wuji has helped me trememdously in hydra with her A2 block debuffs and A1 that becomes an AoE on counter attacks. The only drawback (somehow) is the two self buff, for the head of steal-yo-buffs. But then paired with Oboro it's a very decent option

-Undead : Zelotah... My first epic, my first epic to reach lv60, still using him 1 year later. Much less, but that shield although being on a 4 turn is very solid, and the guaranteed sleep on ennemies with debuffs is a nice touch.

- Barbarians : Teshada. I just think she's neat, worthy of a B- just for the 3 turn revive that also heals.

Rating all champions on the same scale is great. For instance it really helps when deciding to 6-star a good Epic, or a mediocre Legendary.
What I do miss is some assessment of the empowerment. Or at least a clarification of how it was taken into account.
On my mostly FTP account, the average good epic is +2 empowered, 9 of them are at +4. But I have zero empowered legendaries.

Similar with books, all my decent epics are fully booked, but not nearly all my legendaries.

Yikes incoming as Geomancer is great but niche I would give him a B+ on the entire champ pool in the game these days, S tier at his specific niche job but other champs useful in more areas.

Fenax is insane basically everywhere. My Fenax just did 75m damage to nightmare Hydra beating Ninja+Mikage combo damage in the same team. PvP obviously strong, strong in all wave content and many other bosses including hard mode Amius.... Fenax is worthy of being the sole S tier epic, A+ minimum. Honestly shocked by your B, it's an L take!

My other main mention would be Madame Serris because of the buff strips and debuffs and crowd control.

Bannerlord:
Yasmin is better than you think, full buff strip and minor crowd control attempt if strip fails, big heal, I find use cases for her because buff stripping so useful but still not really a priority for anyone to build, just thought worth mentioning
Warcaster usually known for very niche clan boss but actually he's more useful for new players as a Hydra champ because he places aoe block buffs. Still niche for end game but worth mentioning.

Ogryn:
I don't think Uugo or Maneater hold up as A anymore honestly but I do use both, maybe like with Ursala you could argue A- / B+ territory

Demons:
Alure is basically 1 job in the whole game so A is a bit of a joke, a B- would be more reasonable i.e. good in niche role and bad everywhere else

Undead:
Dark elhain defo not A- for me, maybe B-... you're comparing to all other champs in the game and she really aint A- material
Vogoth rating is very generous but I dont think niche deserves such high rating unless you actually compete in many areas, fun passive but I'd go B and nobody would complain honestly

My top 5 epics:
Fenax
Serris
High Khatun
Rector Drath
Akemtum

These are the epics that have stood the test of time on my account, I reliably use them all for their jobs still and where other amazing epics like Toragi, Geomancer, Demytha once stood there are other options but the champs above are just awesome at their jobs.

Fenax is insane basically everywhere, anyone not abusing him is wrong.

Serris is great, unless I need Lydia to block revive honestly I sometimes prefer Serris because she can strip as well so although they do a similar job and many see Lydia S tier I'll sometimes use Serris instead of Lydia.

High Khatun, speed is king, speed aura in all battles + turn meter boost + speed buff and then chance to decrease enemy turn meter and debuff enemy speed great speed control kit

Rector, still in my Hydra comps and still in my Killable UNM Clan Boss. Used to be MvP for Iron Twins before they nerfed it too with the damage reduction, increased resistance and heals and the odd cheeky decrease attack.

Akemtum, weird champ honestly but once full build he's somehow still in my Nightmare Hydra team despite me having other hex options, I use him in a provoke set to get odd cheeky provokes also and he does well in other content as a reliable pick for faction wars, cursed city, doom tower.

taurus→B+

duzdurk→A、skathix→A、sabitha→A

Rowan can be a C+ in my opinion. I've used her on a couple of Amius rotations and the odd CC stage.

Geomancer is so good that, I'm coming up on my 2 year anniversary of playing this game and I'm finally starting to outgrow him. he was my damage dealer in my clan boss team, before the turtles, I still use him in Hydra, but if I pull a better burner, like sulfuryon or something, he's gone there. Funny enough, I think he out damages Gizmak in that team despite using them both together. but yeah, I just empowered him to a +3, I can do a +4, but my second geomancer is 60 and fully booked out and everything, it would be a waste. Geomancer has served me well. in fact I just pulled one on my F2P account, he will be good there too.

Kytis is quite underrated. For the last two cursed city rotation, Kytis with his 100% heal reduction on A1 is pretty useful for Amius Hard. He is an MVP for that paricular boss.

C- for Torturehelm? he can solo the Sanddevil

Still only early into this but i think you may be to nice on these rankings, the only A/A-'s i would give would be champs that can just essentially unlock content for you (lady Annabelle, man eaters, godseekers etc) or the Uugos/farakins/geos who are just so far ahead of the rest.
I would put decent epics such as Stag knight and skeuramis as a B highest as i just feel like your likely to start with or atleast pull someone early who are the similar/better

Anyone else hung up on the odd color scheme? Blue is worse than red, which is worse than light blue, but yellow is better than all three. I've been too indoctrinated by the spectral order, lol.

4:44

I can already see him putting my favorite Epic (Hordin) D tier easily

You must be really bored lol

Great vid Nubs, as for the question at the end of what some of us think could be changed I'd say I have a few.
* Geomancer could be argued for A+ due to how nearly irreplaceable he can be for most accounts with the iron twins but I'd still say A is reasonable.
* For B+ I'd say Jorrg could be placed lower, but that could be bias due to Tagoar being in the same faction.
* For B I'd say it is arguable for Magnarr and Cardinal to go higher since at least for me I tend to get better damage from Magnarr than my Husk and Cardinal is someone I often have to be really careful with when facing in places like Tag arena. It is possible that I just have my Magnarr built better than my Husk though.
* For C+ I have quite a few that I think should be higher actually, those being Dazdurk, Occult Brawler and Wuzgar(Maybe), Sanguina, and Deudan. Of those especially Sanguina because of the fact that she can remove debuffs from your whole team like Mausoleum mage, but one ups him and places all of the debuffs on her onto the other team. Dazdurk and Deudan are just solid champions that help out the team.
* For D+ I'd say Catacomb councilor can really surprise you with how helpful he can be, not a great champion but I'd say at least a C tier one for that usefulness.
* Finally for D I'd say Captain Temila and maybe Canoness should be much higher. Canoness could just be bias since she helped me early game by being a buffer that also deals damage. As for Captain Temila, I'd say Ash's recent video went into better detail than I can for that one.
- Despite what I said on placements for some of these, the list overall was really solid though.

I disagree heavily with giving Dazdurk a B-. He has turn meter boost, increase attack, a big heal with a full cleanse, continuous heals, and a leech on his A1. I honestly think he deserves an A-, but at least give him a B+

Thanks for keeping the ratings consistent between rarities. It is very helpful when finding solutions to niche problems like faction wars or cursed city to know which champions will bring value in other parts of the game. People end up having a lot of 6-star champions, but each one does have a fairly high time cost, especially if you are ftp.

Runekeeper Dazdurk is way better than B-.
Read his kit Nubs, he stomps tons of legendaries. Compare him to Rockbreaker, who you also gave the same rating lol
Also think Whisper is an A-

Fenax hits soooo hard on the A1….its beyond legendary damage….has to be an A- at least.

Sienda has really good multipliers. Shes B+ to A-

Before watching the list, I love that every champ is on the same scale as opposed to just compared to within the rarity. A comprehensive list graded off the same scale is a fantastic idea

I am looking at what are you going to replace it with. E.g. Alure - she is MVP for Dark Fae, until you can replace her with Gnut (S+). Maneater/Demytha make most accessible 1-key UNM CB team, only really superceded by Wixwell (S-Tier). Uugo - who do you need to replace her in Hydra team?

uugo is a+ only granyt and theodosia do block buffs decrease deffence

I think Isbeil, might be B, the bombs are quite good, maybe.
