Blessings is a new feature introduced in Raid Shadow Legends to aid players in strengthening their champions to tackle challenging content such as Hydra Clan Boss, Demon Lord Clan Boss, Doom Tower, and Dungeons! Blessings were released in Patch 6.00 (6th September 2022) along with Awakening System, which requires champions to be awakened before they are able to unlock the Blessing!
Blessings Overview
- Blessings are powerful new abilities that can completely transform how a Champion performs, unlocking new levels of strength. They become available after Awakening your Champion to at least Level 1!
- Each champion can only use one Blessing at a time, and it will be indicated on the Champion’s icon. As Blessings are dependent on Awakening, they are only available to Rare, Epic, and Legendary Champions.
- Each Blessing belongs to a Divinity, and each Divinity has Rare, Epic, and Legendary Blessings. Rare Champions can only access Rare Blessings, Epic Champions can only access Epic and Rare Blessings, and Legendary Champions can access all Blessings.
- There are 4 types of Divinities, which are Light, Dark, War, and Chaos!
- Each Blessing has 6 Levels, and improving these Levels is directly tied to a Champion’s Awakening Level. So, if your Champion is at Level 5 of Awakening, they will receive the Level 5 benefits of any Blessing you choose automatically. The benefits of leveling up are unique to each Blessing, from improving stat bonuses to unlocking new effects and abilities.
- If you choose a Blessing for a Champion that is of a lower Rarity than the Champion’s Rarity, they will receive additional stat bonuses at certain Levels. For example, if a Legendary Champion takes a Rare or Epic Blessing, or an Epic Champion takes a Rare Blessing.
- Blessings can be swapped at any time. Like Masteries, the first change is free but any subsequent changes will cost Gems. You can change to any Blessing available from any Divinity, but switching Blessings within the same Divinity will be slightly cheaper.

Light Blessings
| Icon | Rare Light Blessings Description |
 | Indomitable Spirit
Awakening Level
Who should use this blessing?Indomitable Spirit blessing is utilized to block crowd control debuff from being applied to your champion by the enemies. The downside of this blessing is the success rate of blocking is low and it does not block all crowd control debuff. Having a high resistance stat will allow your champion to block all types of debuffs consistently and effectively making your battles more predictable. |
 | Miracle Heal
Awakening Level
Who should use this blessing?Miracle Heal blessing has a niche usage, where it’s primarily used against Hydra Clan Boss as one of the Hydra heads is able to destroy your champion’s Max HP each time they receive healing. Hence, it’s best to use Miracle Heal blessing on heroes who can heal to recoup the loss of Max HP done by the Hydra. This blessing is recommended for Apothecary, Rector Drath, Reliquary Tender, and Vogoth. |
| Icon | Epic Light Blessings Description |
 | Iron Will
Awakening Level
Who should use this blessing?Iron Will blessing is aims to reduce damage intake from enemies who inflicts debuffs on your champions. This has a very niche usage and most probably you would want to use it on your debuffer or supporter champions who does not have high amount of Resistance stat. |
 | Heavencast
Awakening Level
Who should use this blessing?Heavencast blessing targets damage-dealing heroes who synergize with support heroes capable of providing abundant buffs to enhance their damage output significantly! |
| Icon | Legendary Light Blessings Description |
 | Intimidating Presence
Awakening Level
Who should use this blessing?Intimidating Presence blessing is an aura used to amplify your team’s aura effect while reducing the enemy’s team aura effect simultaneously! It’s the successor of Commanding Presence with better effects. It’s highly recommended for this blessing be applied to a Supporter hero who is mostly used in many team setups. Recommended champions for this blessing are Arbiter, Lady Kimi, Nekhret the Great, Ursuga Warcaller. |
 | Lightning Cage
Awakening Level
Who should use this blessing?Lightning Cage blessing is a useful buff to protect your attacker heroes against an enemy debuffer heroes, especially in Arena. In addition, it helps your Attacker hero to deal additional damage with fully stacked Lightning Orbs too based on your hero’s Max Health! If you are using the Attacker hero on the enemy’s supporter hero who applies many buffs (e.g. Siphi the Lost Bride, duch*ess Lilitu), they will gain additional Turn Meter quickly to be able to cut into the enemy sequence. It’s one of the best blessings to deal extra damage and protect your attacker heroes simultaneously! The recommended heroes for this blessing would be the ones that you use for both Arena Offense and Arena Defense, such as Candraphon and Cupidus. |
Dark Blessings
| Icon | Rare Dark Blessings Description |
 | Dark Resolve
Awakening Level
Who should use this blessing?Dark Resolve blessing is suitable for damage nuker champions who has the ability to survive the enemy nuke while the rest of the allies are killed, such as Skullcrown and Leorius the Proud. It could also be used for your dungeon solo farmer so that they can do more damage through their abilities that does not rely on debuffs such as Poison, HP Burn, and Bomb. |
 | Phantom Touch
Awakening Level
Additional Information
Who should use this blessing?Phantom Touch blessing is best suited for damage-dealing heroes in Arena, Clan Boss, Dungeons, Doom Tower, and Faction Wars. The damage dealt is a mini version of Warmaster or Giant Slayer (Tier 6 Offense Mastery). For Rare and Epic champions, you can go with this blessing to deal additional damage, whereas Legendary champions would go with Brimstone blessing as it’s a better version of Phantom Touch, especially for Support heroes and HP heroes! Recommended champions for this blessing are Coldheart, Bellower, Heiress, Maneater, Pain Keeper, and Seeker. |
| Icon | Epic Dark Blessings Description |
 | Cruelty:
Awakening Level
Who should use this blessing?Cruelty blessing is best suited for champions who specialize in raiding clan bosses and dungeon bosses because it allows you to increase your team’s damage output significantly with the reduction of the enemy’s defense! It takes approximately 5 rounds for the boss’s defense to be decreased to the max of 20%! You only need 1 champion with this blessing to reduce the boss defense, and have the remaining champions with damage-boosting blessings such as Phantom Touch and Brimstone!. Recommended champions for this blessing are Deacon Armstrong, Demytha, Maneater, and Warcaster. |
 | Lethal Dose
Awakening Level
Who should use this blessing?Lethal Dose blessing is best suited for champions who specialize in inflicting Poison debuff on their enemies. However, Poison is not the meta right now in Arena as most of the battles are more towards AoE speed nuke battles to quickly rack up points to reach higher Arena tiers. In addition, it’s difficult to set up a Poison team for Arena to deal sufficient damage against enemies even with champions who can activate poison such as Kalvalax. |
| Icon | Legendary Dark Blessings Description |
 | Temporal Chains
Awakening Level
Who should use this blessing?Temporal Chains blessing is utilized for competing in Speed battles, especially in Arena. However, this blessing is not that great compared to Intimidating Presence as it only applies speed reduction on the enemy but not improving your ally’s speed. Apart from that, Arena defense champions that are equipped in Stoneskin Set are immune to Temporal Chain’s Turn Meter reduction effects when they receive buffs from their allies. However, there could be a unique strategy using a combination of these 2 blessings (Intimidating Presence and Temporal Chains) in 1 team to significantly reduce the enemy’s speed depending on the enemy’s champion formation. |
 | Ward of the Fallen
Awakening Level
Who should use this blessing?Ward of the Fallen blessing is utilized mainly on attacker heroes by dealing extra bonus damage and decreasing the damage received. It’s similar to the Lightning Cage blessing but suited mainly against enemy champions that deal a massive amount of damage through direct hits rather than relying on debuffs to weaken your attacker hero. It’s preferable on champions who have in-built counter-attack abilities such as Cupidus so they can recharge the Bone Armor each time they attack the enemy! |
War Blessings
| Icon | Rare War Blessings Description |
 | Hero’s Soul
Awakening Level
Who should use this blessing?Hero’s Soul blessing is mainly used against mobs of enemies, such as Spider’s Den, Nether Spider, and Frost Spider. It’s a useful blessing to improve your Rare champion’s damage output. However, for Epic and Legendary champions, there are better blessing options that you can take to deal more damage to the boss such as Phantom Touch, and Brimstone. |
 | Faultless Defense
Awakening Level
Who should use this blessing?Faultless Defense blessing should be used by champion who can provide Increase Defense buff and it’s specialized for taking down Fire Knight shield quickly. It can be used in Clan Boss battles to reflect the damage to the boss to increase the overall damage output for better chest rewards. |
| Icon | Epic War Blessings Description |
 | Commanding Presence
Awakening Level
Who should use this blessing?Commanding Presence blessing is recommended to use on a Supporter hero who is used in many team setups. This is to avoid equipping many champions with this blessing, while the rest can be equipped with the damage-boosting blessing to improve your overall team’s damage output! You will save tons of gems in the long run without the need to constantly switch blessings. |
 | Chainbreaker
Awakening Level
Who should use this blessing?Chainbreaker blessing is useful for removing all crowd control debuffs that were inflicted by the enemies. If the debuff wasn’t removed successfully upon taking their turn, each hit they receive during that period will boost their Turn Meter, so they can remove these debuffs by reducing the debuff duration by taking their next turn! However, the success rate of filling up the Turn Meter is pretty low and the fill rate is too little to make a comeback, especially in Arena where the battle is fast-paced. I would recommend opting for a different Epic blessing that could provide more value for your champions. |
| Icon | Legendary War Blessings Description |
 | Life Harvest
Awakening Level
Who should use this blessing?Life Harvest blessing is useful to tackle difficult enemies who relies heavily on revive to sustain their team, especially against Arena Teams and Doom Tower with multiple revivers (e.g. Siphi the Lost Bride, duch*ess Lilitu). However, if your champion roster is fairly diverse and have sufficient end-game gears to handle these revivers easily, then this blessing will not be useful for you as it’s better to cleave your way using AoE Speed Nuke team with 1-2 hits to knock them out rather than slowly decreasing the revived fallen enemies Max HP. It’s recommended to opt for other Legendary blessings that enables your heroes to deal more damage as it will help you in other areas as well. |
 | Soul Reap
Awakening Level
Who should use this blessing?Soul Reap blessing is recommended for damage dealers to deal extra damage, especially for Arena Offense. The Soul Reaper appears after the initial attack and deals some damage to the target, which ignores their defensive buffs and has the chance of inflicting True Fear to crowd control them in case the enemies survive. The downside of this ability is the enemy’s current HP (Hit Points aka Health Points) needs to drop below a certain threshold to trigger this Soul Reap blessing such as below 20% HP if your damage nuker isn’t able to 1-hit knock out the enemy. Champions that are recommended for this blessing are Leorius the Proud, Trunda Giltmallet, and Candraphon. |
Chaos Blessings
| Icon | Rare Chaos Blessings Description |
 | Emergency Heal
Awakening Level
Who should use this blessing?Emergency Heal blessing is recommended for champions who can place Shield buff on themselves or to all allies including self. This is blessing is amazing for dungeon soloer such as Vergis against Borgoth the Scarab King in Doom Tower. |
 | Survival Instinct
Awakening Level
Who should use this blessing?Survival Instinct blessing is useful for debuffer champions, especially for Poison champions of Rare rarity to allow them to gain more turn meter and finally gaining an additional turn to apply more stacks of Poison to deal damage. |
| Icon | Epic Chaos Blessings Description |
 | Crushing Rend
Awakening Level
Who should use this blessing?Crushing Rend blessing is best suited for damage nukers against tanky enemies who have a high amount of Defense stats. It can be used for PvE content (Player vs Environment) such as Hydra Clan Boss where the higher the level of the enemies, the more defense it can be ignored! For example, you can ignore defense up to 31% if you use this blessing against a Level 310 Hydra Clan Boss. However, it does not provide a significant amount of damage to Demon Lord Clan Boss as its based Defense stats are much lower than Hydra Clan Boss. |
 | Incinerate
Awakening Level
Who should use this blessing?Incinerate blessing is best suited for champions who specialize in inflicting HP Burn debuff on their enemies. However, HP Burn is not the meta right now in Arena as most of the battles are more towards AoE speed nuke battles to quickly rack up points to reach higher Arena tiers. In addition, it’s difficult to set up an HP Burn team for Arena to deal sufficient damage against enemies even with champions who can activate HP Burn such as Ninja and Sicia Flametongue. |
| Icon | Legendary Chaos Blessings Description |
 | Polymorph
Awakening Level
Who should use this blessing?Polymorph blessing is recommended for highly resistant tanky champions, especially in setting up an Arena Stall Team. The drawback of this blessing is the enemy is able to cast their abilities before the Polymorph occurs (e.g. remove buffs, inflict Decrease Defense, and Weaken). This results in the enemy AoE Speed Nuke team can cleave their way through your defense without much hassle. In addition, it provides the enemies a way to heal themselves with 50% Health upon recovering from Polymorph. It’s recommended to opt for other useful Blessings unless you would want to improve your RESIST since there aren’t many Blessings that offer it. |
 | Brimstone
Awakening Level
Who should use this blessing?Brimstone blessing is suited for high HP (Hit Points aka Health Points) such as HP role or Support role champions to deal additional damage to the enemy, especially against bosses! The damage dealt is through the Smite debuff similar to the HP Burn debuff but based on your champion’s MAX HP. However, it does not stack up like Poison debuff, which means it’s best to have at most 2 champions with Brimstone blessing to deal damage every turn as this Blessing has a cooldown of 2 turns! To maximize the damage output for your boss raid teams, it’s best to have a mixture of Brimstone, Cruelty, and Phantom Touch blessings! |
Divinity of Harmony Blessings
| Icon | Rare Harmony Blessings Description |
 | Nature’s Bounty
Awakening Level
Who should use this blessing?The Nature’s Bounty blessing is an excellent choice for Rare champions specializing in debuffing, as it facilitates the transformation of minor debuffs into more potent versions. This proves invaluable in situations where Epic, Legendary, or Mythical champions capable of applying enhanced debuffs are unavailable for battles like Faction Wars and Doom Tower Secret Rooms. Champions well-suited for this blessing include Bellower, Frozen Banshee, Ifrit, and Avir the Alchemage. |
 | Nourish
Awakening Level
Who should use this blessing?The Nourish blessing is ideally suited for champions capable of bestowing Continuous Heal buffs upon their allies. This blessing ensures the reliable restoration of depleted MAX HP, proving invaluable in challenging areas like the Hydra Clan Boss and Sand Devil encounters, where foes often diminish your champions’ maximum health. It surpasses the Miracle Heal blessing in its efficacy at replenishing depleted MAX HP. |
| Icon | Epic Harmony Blessings Description |
 | Neutralize
Awakening Level
Who should use this blessing?Exclusive to the Hydra encounter, the [Poison Cloud] mechanic makes the Blessing particularly beneficial for Champions tailored to this specific content. When the Hydra buffs itself with Poison Cloud, all attacks directed towards it weaken, often hindering your ability to apply essential debuffs like [Decrease Attack], [Hex], [Provoke], or [Block Buffs]. Typically, players mitigate this effect by preemptively blocking the buff with [Block Buff] or by employing [HP Burn] to negate its impact. However, since only a handful of champions can apply [HP Burn] without preceding attacks, Poison Cloud presents a considerable risk to your team. |
 | Nature’s Wrath
Awakening Level
Who should use this blessing?The Nature’s Wrath blessing is highly recommended for champions who excel in both attacking and debuffing roles. Each time this champion successfully places a debuff, their damage output is permanently increased. This is significantly more advantageous than the Heaven Cast blessing, which requires the champion to have multiple active buff to inflict significant damage on the enemy. |
| Icon | Legendary Harmony Blessings Description |
 | Cracking Roots
Awakening Level
Who should use this blessing?Among all the newly announced blessings, Cracking Roots blessing appears to be the weakest addition. Similar to the Shield Breaker mastery, which boosts damage against shields, its effectiveness is limited to the presence of Stoneskin. Once the Stoneskin buff is removed, the blessing no longer provides any benefit. |
