Raid Shadow Legends tier list of champions as of May 2023

Raid Shadow Legends is an RPG mobile game where players can collect champions through the gacha system. They can enjoy the title through various modes, such as Campaign, Dungeon, Faction Wars, clan boss, and PvP.

This mobile gacha game has over 700 characters under 14 factions. There are champions of different rarities such as Legendary, Epic, Rare, Uncommon, and Common. Furthermore, they have one of four unique Affinities: Magic, Spirit, Force, and Void, which affects their performance and skills in battle.

This gacha tier list ranks champions of each faction in S, A, B, C, and D tiers to make browsing easy for players. However, the factions only represent their background and not affect their performance in battle. The tier list also helps beginners choose the best champions from their collection to use in battles. Here is a description of the tiers in Raid Shadow Legends:

Tier S: Champions in this tier dominate the meta in all aspects. They are the best Attackers, Supporters, Defenders, and Tanks. With these, one can easily complete any stage in Raid Shadow Legends.

Tier A: Champions in this tier are more powerful than all others, except those in S. However, they fit best in all sorts of teams, and upgrading them at every opportunity is the best move if you lack Tier S characters.

Tier B: These champions are above average in the meta. However, good tactics in this strategy game can complement their average performance.

Tier C: Players should avoid these champions if they can. They require buffs to be useful in battles and one cannot obtain good results with these in their roster.

Tier D: These characters are poor performers and are deemed useless in the meta. It is advised not to use them in any battles as far as possible.
