RAID: Shadow Legends gets spooky this Halloween 2025 with a lineup that blends hard control, brutal single-target pressure, and team-wide support. Below, we break down each champion and their skills, offering clear explanations and practical strategies for how they truly perform in battle. If you’re deciding where to invest shards or books, this guide helps you quickly spot synergies and team roles.
Let’s begin!
Sanguine Maria — Force Legendary (Undead Hordes)
A relentless duelist whose damage grows with every strike, Sanguine Maria turns turn-based mechanics against defensive teams and punishes revives. She disrupts enemy rhythm with extra turns and pierces through mitigation on specific turn cycles.
Hematic Blades (A1): 3 hits; each hit has a 33% chance to grant an extra turn (max 1 extra turn per use).
Sanguine Fissure (A2): A nuke that ignores 33% DEF; on turns divisible by 3, it ignores 99% DEF plus Stoneskin and Block Damage; kills also add +3 turn cooldown to all enemy abilities (unresistable on divisible-by-3 turns).
Gorescream (A3): Removes all buffs from all enemies before attacking; becomes unresistable when enemies have a buff count divisible by 3; then hits all remaining enemies below 66% HP; grants an extra turn if Sanguine Maria has a buff count divisible by 3.
Say Her Name (P): Each subsequent hit deals +33% more damage (up to +99%), then resets; each subsequent hit taken reduces damage taken by 33% (up to −99%), then resets; whenever an enemy is revived, she revives herself with 33% HP and 66% TM, then applies unresistable, unblocked True Fear (2 turns) to all enemies.
Aura: Ally ATK +33% in all battles.
Cycle A3 early to boost your team’s defenses and apply Counterattack/RES to Thorn Golem, then follow with A2 to cripple accuracy-dependent enemies and trigger Fears that disrupt opposing turns. A1’s Leech provides passive sustain for allies, while the DEF-scaled self-heal improves uptime without relying on external support. Her kit is simple yet layered, delivering both control and mitigation in one slot.
She pairs well with DEF-scaling teams, healers that benefit from Leech, and controllers that thrive when incoming debuffs are softened. In wave content and Faction Wars-style encounters, the mix of Increase DEF, Fears, and Leech stabilizes runs; in Arena offense, she’s a utility pick that helps your carries stay alive against control-heavy defenses. As an Epic, she’s also a solid progression choice before higher-tier legendaries become available.
This Halloween roster covers multiple roles, with Sanguine Maria shattering bunkers and punishing revives through timed nukes; Gaspard anchoring DEF-focused squads while auto-sniping resurrections; Venalicia resetting entire boards as a controller; and Thorn Golem delivering budget-friendly layers of mitigation and soft control. While their full impact on the current RSL Meta is still emerging, we recommend slotting the one that fills your team’s weakest link—you’ll see immediate returns.
