Introduction
Welcome to another champion review by SprinkleBeard! In this article, we will be discussing Swordsman, a common magic champion in RAID: Shadow Legends. Swordsman is often obtained when opening mystery shards, so it’s important to understand his strengths and weaknesses. Before we dive into the details, be sure to check out our Twitch channel at twitch.tv/sprinklebeard, where we stream daily from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Eastern Standard Time. Now, let’s get started with our analysis of Swordsman.
Key Statistics:
When comparing Swordsman’s stats to other champions, it’s important to note that he has the lowest HP in the game. This means that he is more likely to die easily in battles. However, his attack is tied for the highest among common champions, which is quite impressive for an early game champion. His defense is slightly below average, but still manageable. In terms of speed, Swordsman is above average with a score of 100. This makes him a decent option for faster turns in battles. It’s worth mentioning that common champions cannot be further upgraded or equipped with pendants or banners, limiting their overall power.
Skills:
Swordsman’s skill, called “Cut,” allows him to attack an enemy twice. Additionally, there is a 30% chance of placing a 30% decrease defense debuff for two turns. As Swordsman levels up, the chance of placing the debuff increases to 50%. While some may consider this skill underwhelming, especially for a common champion, it becomes more valuable later in the game. The decreased defense debuff can significantly enhance the overall damage output of Swordsman and the rest of your party. However, it’s important to note that Swordsman’s limited skill set, with only one attacking skill, makes him less versatile compared to other champions.
Best Usage:
Swordsman’s main strength lies in his ability to bring a defense down debuff to any party. If you’re looking to utilize Swordsman effectively, it is recommended to use him in scenarios where defense down is necessary. For example, if you’re planning a challenge run and your viewers or audience have voted for the use of Swordsman, his defense down ability can be quite useful. It’s also worth mentioning that obtaining four copies of Swordsman will fully book his skills, giving you a small advantage. So, if you happen to pull multiple copies of him while opening shards, don’t overlook the potential he brings to the battle.
Conclusions:
In conclusion, Swordsman may have the lowest HP stat in the game, but his attack power and defense down ability make him a valuable addition to any party. While his skill set is limited, it doesn’t negate the benefits he provides. To fully maximize Swordsman’s potential, it’s crucial to pair him with other champions who can take advantage of the defense down debuff. Additionally, keep in mind that Swordsman’s rarity as a common champion means that he cannot be further empowered through ascension or equipped with pendants and banners.
