Raid: Shadow Legends Grim Forest

The Grim Forest of the game: a fogged map of four zones that changes every 30-day cycle, two modes, and Leshun the Entangled One waiting behind three Grim Crowns. Where the battles stand on the map changes every cycle — so here is everything that stays the same: how many champions each zone draws for a battle and how strong its enemies are, Leshun and the four roaming bosses with stats, skills and the game's own strategy, the Mimics and Phrygius the Trovemaster, what each victory gives, the map chests, the Vendor, the Altars, all 18 Curios and every Trait Card. Pick a mode, then a boss.

How It Works

Blanketed by a mysterious fog, the Grim Forest is a terrifying place. Powerful magic changes the forest's structure over time, changing the path each time you enter. Let's find out more!

During your time in the Grim Forest, you can only use a limited number of Champions. First up, you'll need to choose the Champions you want to explore the Grim Forest alongside.

You'll need two Team Decks to form your overall Squad. Only Champions in the Squad can be used within the Grim Forest. Choose wisely - you can only make changes to your Squad using a special resource.

The darkness of the forest hides its true threat - Leshun the Entangled One. Traverse the gloom, defeat the lumbering lord, and free these lands. You'll need to find 3 Grim Crowns to take on Leshun and defeat it.

For each battle in the Grim Forest, you'll receive a random number of Champions from each of your Decks. Distribute your most powerful Champions across each Deck carefully.

When entering a battle, you'll receive random Champions from your Team Decks. For different battles, you'll receive a different number of Champions to choose from. Let's find out which Champions you'll get for this battle.

The Grim Forest hides much treasure along its winding paths. But beware - enemies will ambush you to try and stop you!

Strategy

How It Works

  1. A frosty reception awaits those who underestimate Draugnell the Eternal Gatherer. His kit focuses on Freeze debuffs and he's also immune to Ignore DEF effects, meaning this battle can be a real challenge if you're not prepared. The key thing to remember is that Draugnell passively reflects a lot of damage, so debuffs is the way to go.

  2. Draugnell's Soulscream Ax skill may sound simple, but it can really disrupt the flow of battle. An AoE slam that places Provoke debuffs on all targets for 2 turns will frustrate those without high RES or Block Debuffs buffs.

  3. With his second skill, Osteomancy, Draugnell attacks all enemies again and this time, places a 50% Decrease ATK and 60% Decrease DEF debuff on all targets for 2 turns. Same as with Soulscream Ax, you'll need a reliable cleanser with high RES, or an ally that can place Block Debuffs to avoid a world of pain.

  4. Spinefrost Howl is as chilling as it sounds for your team, with Draugnell attacking all enemies and putting out Freeze debuffs on everyone for 1 turn. Anyone who's under a Freeze debuff after the attack has all of their Turn Meter stolen by Draugnell. If you're not careful, he'll get another turn instantly and your control over the battle will be lost.

  5. Draugnell's passive skills don't make things any easier - Death's Cold Hand [P] grants him a 40% chance to place a Freeze debuff on anyone who attacks him for 1 turn. Enemies under Freeze will also have their SPD halved. Without high RES or Block Debuffs buffs to stop Draugnell placing so many Freeze debuffs, he'll attack with brutal swiftness and destroy your team.

  6. Finally, we have Living Reliquary [P], a passive skill that makes Draugnell and his allies immune to Ignore DEF effects, while also letting Draugnell reflect 50% of all incoming damage from direct attacks on him back to the attacker. However, if Draugnell is under a HP Burn debuff, he won't reflect any damage. Getting a HP Burn on Draugnell and maintaining it is the key to success in this battle.

  7. Beating Draugnell requires a careful balance of both survivability, and the right debuffs to counter Draugnell's passive skills. Champions who can place Shield buffs, Block Debuffs buffs, and HP Burn debuffs will be your most valuable assets in this fight. Cleansers will be a welcome addition too, as well as Champions with very high RES. High damage-dealers are a risk, given Draugnell reflects 50% of incoming damage unless he's under HP Burn, but Champions with plenty of Poison debuffs in their kit present a different approach.
