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.

The enemy with the highest DEF will receive 7 turns of Ironbrand. The enemy with the next highest DEF will receive 6 turns of Ironbrand, while the enemy with the next highest DEF will receive 5 turns of Ironbrand, and so on. If an enemy already has an Ironbrand debuff, the duration of their current Ironbrand debuff will be extended by this number of turns.

    Ironbrand debuffs cannot be blocked or removed.

    Growth Effect

    Every time this skill is used, the Iron Twins’ DEF will be increased by 2.5%, plus an additional 1% for every enemy whose Affinity does not match the Iron Twins’.

  • Doomsday Machine Cooldown: 2 turns

    Attacks all enemies 2 times. Each hit places or extends an Ironbrand debuff.

    The first hit places an Ironbrand debuff whose duration depends on each enemy’s DEF. The enemy with the highest DEF will receive 5 turns of Ironbrand.

Strategy

How It Works

  1. The Iron Twins are a powerful threat that requires management of both debuffs and your Champions’ Affinities if you want to come out on top.

    The key to success in this fight is dealing with the Iron Twins’ unique debuff, Ironbrand, and adjusting your team to account for the Affinity of the Iron Twins.

  2. Ironbrand does nothing on its own, but one of the Iron Twins’ skills, Doomsday Machine, deals damage to all Champions based on the duration of any Ironbrand debuffs currently on them. The longer you have left on an Ironbrand debuff, the more damage Doomsday Machine will do - so you need to manage Ironbrand carefully if you wish to survive.

    Ironbrand cannot be blocked or removed, but it can be resisted, so building your Champions to have high Resistance can make the difference between success and failure.

  3. Two of the Iron Twins’ skills, Ruinous Swath and Fires of Insanity, apply or extend Ironbrand debuffs on your Champions, based on their ATK or DEF respectively. The higher a Champion’s ATK or DEF is, the more turns of Ironbrand they’ll receive from these skills.

    Not only that, but the Iron Twins will increase their own ATK or DEF each time they use these skills. If that’s not enough, the Iron Twins gain additional boosts to their ATK or DEF whenever they use these skills based on how many Champions have an Affinity different to theirs - so your Champions’ Affinities are incredibly important. You might think building a team with an Affinity that counters the Iron Twins will make the battle easier but it actually means they get even stronger, even faster.

  4. With time being against you in this fight, you want to bring Champions who can deal heavy damage quickly. The longer you leave the Iron Twins alive, the longer your Ironbrand debuffs will last and the higher their ATK and DEF will get. You’ll want to stick to dealing damage with single-hit skills too, as the Iron Twins take 50% less damage from each subsequent hit of multi-hit skills.

    The Iron Twins also take reduced damage from HP Burn debuffs, but while these debuffs are less effective than usual, they are still a good tool to help you take the Twins down.

  5. When the Iron Twins’ HP drops below certain numbers, they’ll remove all debuffs placed on them and launch a devastating missile barrage at all Champions, so be prepared to deal with this retaliatory strike. You’ll also want to be careful when applying buffs to your team, as the Iron Twins will fill their Turn Meter by 10% each time you receive a buff. You can counter this Turn Meter fill by placing a Decrease SPD debuff on them, but they are immune to having their Turn Meter depleted or stolen.
