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.

    Also, heals Amius by 100% of the damage dealt. Includes damage dealt to Shield buffs.

  • Lunar Storm Cooldown: 3 turns

    Attacks all enemies.

    Before attacking, increases the duration of all buffs and decreases the duration of all debuffs on Amius by 1 turn.

  • Unfaltering Speed [P]

    Immune to Decrease SPD debuffs and Turn Meter reduction effects.

Strategy

How It Works

  1. Looming over the Cursed City from high atop the Eclipse Tower, Amius the Lunar Archon is one of the toughest challenges in Raid. Similar to Mythical Champions, Amius can transform between two Forms, thanks to his special Eclipse buff, and comes with a self-revive, debuff and buff removal, and serious damage capability. You'll need to understand exactly how each Form works to ensure that you're bringing the best Champions for this fight.

  2. In his Base Form, which can be seen when the moon is full, Amius can turn debuffs to his advantage by replacing them with their equivalent buffs using his Rampant Chaos skill. What’s more, Amius’ Waxing Potence skill has its damage boosted according to the number of buffs he currently has active on himself. Amius is also able to heal himself based on the damage dealt, including damage against Champions with Shield buffs, so keeping buffs off him is imperative for reducing damage.

  3. His second skill, Lunar Storm, attacks all enemies whilst also increasing the duration of all buffs and decreasing the duration of all debuffs on Amius. He’ll also heal for 20% of his own MAX HP, and that heal increases by a further 5% for each buff that has its duration increased by this skill. Finally, Amius will also fill his own Turn Meter by 10% for each debuff that has its duration decreased.

  4. Amius doesn't just hit hard - he can also place crowd control debuffs on any non-Mythical Champions. In his Base Form, Amius places Stun with his Rampant Chaos skill, which can be blocked or resisted. However, that's not to say Mythical Champions will get away unscathed. Amius will force Mythical Champions to switch between their Forms, regardless of which one they are currently in. You’ll need to anticipate when Amius is about to force Mythical Champions to switch Forms, so that you can prepare for whatever Amius’ current Form is about to throw at you.

  5. Amius’ fourth skill, Robed In Moonlight [P], allows him to heal by 25% of any heal that your team puts out, and heal by 100% of the damage he deals against targets with Shield buffs. If a Shield is removed by damage, Amius also heals equal to the Shield’s value. Finally, Robed In Moonlight [P] reduces the cooldown of Archon's Ascendance [P] whenever one of your Champions reduces a cooldown of their own.

    His Base Form’s passive skill, Archon's Ascendance [P], places on Amius a fully protected Eclipse buff for 3 turns. The Eclipse buff is what changes Amius into his Alternate Form, complete with a blood-red eclipse in the background.

  6. Amius’ Alternate Form can replace your team’s buffs for debuffs, increase his own damage according to the number of debuffs on your team, and decrease the amount of healing your team receives by 50%.

  7. In his Alternate Form, Amius can also ignore Shield, Block Damage, and Unkillable buffs too.

  8. His first skill, Abyssal Construct, will not only ignore 100% of the target’s DEF, but also have its damage increased by 20% for each debuff on the target. If it kills its target, it will also activate Amius’ third skill, Maniacal Bedlam. This works similarly to his Base Form’s third skill, Rampant Chaos, except this time, Amius is removing your teams’ buffs and replacing them with their equivalent debuffs. Also, he’ll place an unresistible Sleep debuff, and force all Mythical Champions to change Form.

  9. Amius’ second skill, Bloodmoon Vortex, will attack all enemies after increasing the duration of all debuffs and decreasing the duration of all buffs on your team. For every buff that has its duration decreased, Amius will increase the damage inflicted by this skill by 5% of each target’s MAX HP, up to a maximum of 50%. Likewise, for every debuff that has its duration increased by this skill, Amius will decrease each target’s Turn Meter by 10%.

  10. Amius' passive skill in his Alternate Form is Scarlet Eclipse [P]. Firstly, this passive will reduce the amount of healing that your Champions receive by 50% when Amius is under an Eclipse buff. It also lets Amius ignore Shield, Block Damage, and Unkillable buffs when he is under an Eclipse buff.

    The final part of Amius’ passive in his Alternate Form activates his Abyssal Construct skill when an enemy reduces a skill’s cooldown. If Amius kills a target, he'll then activate his third skill, Maniacal Bedlam, which replaces all your team's buffs with their debuff equivalent. It's a devastating combination, so avoid reducing cooldowns where possible!

  11. Across both of his Forms, Amius will both buff himself and debuff your team. Amius also has immunity to Decrease SPD debuffs and Decrease Turn Meter across both of his Forms, thanks to some sneaky secret skills. You'll need to keep a careful eye on your buffs and debuffs, as well as those placed on Amius himself. Make sure your team has plenty of HP and survivability, including support Champions who can cleanse debuffs, revive your team, or even strip buffs from Amius.

    You'll also definitely want to bring your Awakened Champions to this fight. Passively, they will weaken the Turn Meter reduction effect and Ignore DEF effect of Amius' attacks in his Alternate Form. The difference between having Amius ignore 50% or 100% of DEF could make or break a fight. Preventing him from killing a Champion with his Abyssal Construct skill also means his Maniacal Bedlam skill won't activate, meaning your team retains their buffs and keeps nasty Sleep debuffs from the Maniacal Bedlam skill away.

  12. Another thing to bear in mind is the self-revive element of Amius’ passive skill in his Base Form, thanks to the Eclipse buff. If Amius has this buff and is killed while in his Alternate Form, he will be revived in his Base Form with 30% HP and 50% Turn Meter. This can be countered with the Block Revive debuff or Lydia the Deathsiren's ability to deny enemy revive attempts.

    If you don't have Champions who can place a Block Revive debuff, then you'll need to kill Amius while he's in his Base Form. Also, consider bringing a Champion that can place Heal Reduction and preventing Amius from healing himself while in his Base Form. Just watch out for that debuff replacement on his Rampant Chaos skill, as any Heal Reduction debuffs will be replaced with a Continuous Heal buffs.

  13. In terms of dealing damage to Amius, focus on bringing Champions with skills that scale off a target’s MAX HP, or Champions with debuffs such as Poison or HP Burn. These debuffs are very important, as they don’t have a mirrored equivalent that can be replaced when Amius uses his Rampant Chaos skill. Don’t rely entirely on this strategy though - Amius, like other Bosses, will innately reduce the damage dealt by these debuffs and skills that scale off a target’s MAX HP thanks to the Almighty Strength [P] skill.

  14. This is a seriously tough fight, so be sure to choose and use your Champions wisely. You’ll need to be as flexible as possible when countering both of Amius’ Forms with all his different attacks and ways of keeping your team at a disadvantage. Good luck!
