Raid Shadow Legends tier list: top champions for PVP and PVE

An updated Raid Shadow Legends tier list published on June 18, 2026 ranks Mythical, Legendary and Epic champions for PVP and PVE. The revision adds characters introduced over the last year and focuses on Classic Arena and PVE progression.

For PVP, the S+ tier lists Marichka, Galathir, Siegfrund, Krixia, Harima, Nais, Arbais, Frolni, Siphi, Taras, Warlord, Alaz, Embrys, Queen of Hearts, Cruetraxa and Fabian. The S tier includes Odin, Krisk, Lydia, Graaur, Pythion, Baron, Mithrala, Cardiel, Marius, Androc, Lazarius, Yumeko, Pheidi, Valkyrie, Lady Kimi, Staltus, Lady Mikage (Base), Armanz, Leo, Prince Kymar, Arbiter, Nekhret, Hekaton and Tetsuya. The update notes several Epic units such as Seer, Maneater and Deacon Armstrong that remain viable in Arena because they are easier to obtain and can perform above their rarity when built correctly. PVE-focused champions like Teodor are placed in lower tiers for Arena play.

The update provides team examples used in Platinum-tier Classic Arena. One recurring lineup pairs Marichka with Nais, Galathir and Siegfrund. Another pairs Marichka with Taras, Sephi and Harima. Arbais appears in combinations with Siegfrund, Galathir and Krixia. Odin teams commonly include Marichka, Sephi and Taras. The list describes Taras as an HP-type defender who can be summoned to protect a targeted ally such as Marichka and add damage, creating specific interaction patterns for several builds.

On the PVE side, the S+ tier lists Acrizia, Cardiel, Mithrala, Marichka, Pythion, Gnut and Riho. The revision highlights that several champions that perform weakly in Arena regain prominence in PVE modes; examples include Teodor, Acrizia and Gnut. The update also places a range of Epic champions in high PVE tiers and notes they can carry players through hard-mode story content and some boss encounters without requiring Mythical rarity.

The tier list revision uses performance data from recent Classic Arena seasons, including March 2025 standings, and evaluates units by rarity, kit synergy and match results. The publisher excludes lower-rarity, non-meta units from the lists to concentrate on competitive and endgame options. The update recommends that players prioritize team synergies, avoid spending scarce upgrade materials on low-tier pulls, monitor future revisions after balance changes and consider promotional codes and giveaways that sometimes provide usable characters and resources.
