Raid: Shadow Legends Cursed City

The Cursed City screen of the game: four districts of 25 stages each, joined by paths, and the Eclipse Tower in the middle with Amius the Lunar Archon. Here is the city map with every stage on its place, in Normal and Hard: what a battle costs in Cursed Keys, the enemies wave by wave, each boss with stats, skills and the game's own strategy, the Awakened Stages and what the first clear gives. Every boss drops a chest of Supersonic and Merciless gear: artifacts, and on some stages accessories — rings, amulets and banners; rarity and rank vary. Pick a mode, then a stage on the map.

How It Works

Welcome to the Cursed City! You'll need to clear Stages across 4 Districts by moving along paths and defeating enemies, before climbing the Eclipse Tower and fighting Amius the Lunar Archon.

You'll face familiar and new challenges alike, including Double Boss Stages. Taking on two of Teleria's familiar foes at once will reward you with an Eclipse Key as well as other awesome rewards.

You'll need 3 Eclipse Keys to enter the Eclipse Tower at the heart of the Cursed City. There, you'll face off against Amius the Lunar Archon and decide the fate of Sintranos! Good luck!

Every Stage has requirements that you must meet in order to complete it. They might restrict the Rarity, Faction, Type, or Affinity of Champions you can use, and the requirements will get tougher the deeper into the city you go.

Awakened Stages are unique, as you'll need to use Awakened Champions in addition to other requirements. Your team must meet or exceed the required amount of Awakening Levels to start a battle, indicated by red stars on a Champion's portrait.

Boss skills

  • Caustic Webbing

    Attacks all enemies. Damage increases by 15% if the target is under Poison debuffs.

  • Torpefy Cooldown: 4 turns

    Attacks all enemies. Decreases the Turn Meter by 30%. If a target’s Turn Meter is fully depleted, places a Sleep debuff for 1 turn. This debuff cannot be resisted.

  • Tainted Brood [P] Cooldown: 2 turns

    Spawns 6 Tainted Spiderlings at the start of the round.

    Spawns 2 Tainted Spiderlings at the start of each enemy Champion's turn. Spawns 4 Tainted Spiderlings at the end of Tainted Skavag's turn. Tainted Skavag can have a maximum of 10 Tainted Spiderlings in battle at any time.

    Tainted Skavag consumes all remaining Tainted Spiderlings at the start of each turn. If Tainted Skavag consumes Tainted Spiderlings, she will not consume them on the following turn.

    Tainted Skavag heals by 3% of her MAX HP for each Tainted Spiderling consumed, and permanently increases her ATK by 10% for each Tainted Spiderling consumed.

    Heals from Lifesteal Artifacts and skills that heal based on damage inflicted will only heal Champions by 35% of the stated amount when attacking Tainted Skavag or her Tainted Spiderlings.

  • Vile Constitution [P]

    Immune to Heal Reduction, Decrease SPD, and HP Burn debuffs, as well as Turn Meter reduction effects. Whenever a HP Burn debuff is activated on Tainted Spiderlings, heals Tainted Skavag by 1% of her MAX HP.

    Whenever a Tainted Spiderling dies, inflicts damage to Tainted Skavag equal to 3% of her MAX HP.

  • Tainted Immunity [P]

    Immune to Stun, Freeze, Sleep, Provoke, Block Active Skills, Block Passive Skills, Fear, True Fear, Petrification, Berserk, Enfeeble, Nullify, Ensnare, Fatigue, and Hunter's Gaze debuffs. Also immune to HP exchange effects, HP balancing effects, and cooldown increasing effects.

  • Almighty Strength [P]

    Damage from skills that scale based on enemy MAX HP cannot exceed 10% of the Boss' MAX HP when attacking the Boss.

  • Awakened Weakness [P]

    Decreases the damage inflicted by the Boss for each Awakening Level on the target Champion (2.5% for Levels 1-2 and 5% for Levels 3-6, stacks up to 25%).

    Increases the damage received by the Boss for each Awakening Level on the attacking Champion (5% for Levels 1-2 and 10% for Levels 3-6, stacks up to 50%).

  • Unfaltering Speed [P]

    Immune to Decrease SPD debuffs and Turn Meter reduction effects.

Strategy

How It Works

  1. Tainted Skavag requires specific strategies to conquer her and her brood of Tainted Spiderlings. She is immune to Decrease SPD, Heal Reduction, and HP Burn debuffs, as well as Turn Meter reduction effects. In fact, HP Burn debuffs placed on the Tainted Spiderlings heal Tainted Skavag whenever they activate, so she's taking less damage from HP Burn ticks than you're used to.

  2. However, don't despair just yet! There are key differences to help make the fight a little easier. The most valuable difference is that Tainted Skavag receives damage equal to 3% of her MAX HP whenever a Tainted Spiderling dies. Taking out the maximum of 10 Tainted Spiderlings in one go means Tainted Skavag loses 30% of her MAX HP instantly.

  3. So, bringing Champions with powerful AoE attacks will be vital. Maximize your damage output by placing Increase ATK or Increase C. DMG buffs on them.

  4. You may not always be able to kill the Tainted Spiderlings in one shot, so protection is also important. To survive against Tainted Skavag and her clutch, you’ll want to place Increase DEF and Shield buffs on your Champions. Consider your Artifact Set choices carefully too, as Bolster and Defiant will add extra survivability. Also make sure to boost your Champions’ Turn Meters (Tainted Skavag is very fast!), as well as to decrease the Turn Meters of the Tainted Spiderlings.

    To help guarantee you take out all the Tainted Spiderlings in one fell swoop, place Decrease DEF and Weaken debuffs on them before unleashing the true power of your AoE nukers.

    Keep in mind that just like their mother, Tainted Spiderlings are immune to Freeze debuffs - so you'll have to use a different form of crowd control.
