Raid Boss Struggles, New Fusion Hype & Survival Tactics

ECHO Gaming Staff April 4, 2025 Raid Shadow Legends 20 days ago

    TL;DR: Survive a tricky Stage 2 event for sweet rewards, prep for the new Fusion Champion Lysanthir Beastbane, and brace for tough bosses like Scarab King. Sharpen those masteries, grab more shards, and check your champion synergy to come out on top.

Stage 2: Surviving the Swarm

If you enjoy modes where everything tries to swarm you, this latest survival-based event in Raid should feel right at home. Stage 2 ramps up the intensity with longer waves of spiders and bugs, testing both your movement and how well you pick your skills. Arrow Rain works wonders, especially when you need splash damage to keep large crowds under control.

Don't overlook Lightning Arrow upgrades. They bounce around the field, cutting down multiple targets quickly. Staying mobile is key—build a path through the bugs, collect energy globes, and loop back for pickups. At higher stages, you’ll feel the lack of any built-in heal, so avoid stray hits at all costs.

Incoming Fusion: Lysanthir Beastbane

A brand-new Fusion Champion is on the horizon, and it’s piquing plenty of interest: Lysanthir Beastbane. This defense-based attacker brings a Hex debuff into the mix, along with an ability that can repeat hits and ramp up damage when allies get devoured. He also ignores Life Barrier and ally protection buffs, boosting his own defense for each active buff on himself.

If you plan on snagging Lysentheer, brace for another challenging Fusion event. You’ll need to fuse epic champions from certain rares—there's no shortcut here. If you’re short on shards, consider saving your gems or aiming for lucky drops through Clan Boss or daily rewards before the Fusion starts on April 7.

Stock Up on Shards & Resources

Shards: Ancient, Void, and Sacred drops from Clan Boss can be a lifesaver.
Gems: With enough gems, you can purchase extra shards if needed.
Energy: Keep your energy usage smart. Farming for masteries or gear is wise between events.

Doom Tower Dilemma: Scarab King

The Scarab King returns as a formidable wall. If your usual team is falling apart, you might need Bloodshield gear or specific champions who refresh shields. Sustaining protection is huge to avoid the Scarab’s counterattacks. Keep a Reviver in the lineup—someone like Lady Noelle or Yugo—so you don’t watch your entire group crumble in a few hits.

Shields alone won’t beat the boss. You’ll still need some decent firepower to bring its health down. A defense-based Nuker, strong turn meter control, or quick buffs that keep you shielded can help you chip away without folding in the opening rounds.

Clan Boss & Resource Gains

Everyone craves those shard drops from Clan Boss. On a good day, you might see precious Sacred or Ancient shards that push you closer to your next Fusion or champion pull. It's wise to use as many keys as you can—don't let them expire. Any few additional drops you earn might swing a Fusion attempt from impossible to doable.

Grinding Masteries: Minotaur & Beyond

Focusing on masteries for key champions pays off. If you’ve pulled a new hero—like Fabian—don’t leave them half-baked. Even a small bump in power, such as improved speeds or extra crit, can change your performance in Arena or dungeons. Minotaur runs take time, but they’re worth it.

Taking on Hydra & Kymar

The Hydra never stops being a pain, but you’ll find each attempt teaches you how to handle devours, rotation quirks, and team synergy. Meanwhile, Kymar’s dungeon can yield valuable gear sets. Keeping an eye on these multi-headed or cunning bosses adds more variety to your daily routine—and more opportunities to grab rare equipment.

Arena Duels & Live Battles

Live Arena is another playground for those craving real-time competition. Double-check your roster for strong Nukers and always bring at least one Reviver if your damage gets banned. Stoneskin sets can stall entire squads, so plan to break those defenses by mixing crowd control, buffs, or direct nukes.

Final Thoughts

From the stressful bug-squashing in Stage 2 to gearing up for Lysanthir Beastbane, there’s plenty going on in Raid. If you’re struggling with Doom Tower’s Scarab King, remember that synergy, shields, and well-timed revives can help you push forward. Make the most of your Clan Boss keys, optimize your champion masteries, and keep an eye on your shards for the upcoming Fusion.

Enjoy the survival challenge and keep grinding for those game-changing champions. A bit of patience—and maybe a lucky Clan Boss drop—can shift your progress in exciting ways.
