How to Defeat Bommal the Dreadhorn in RAID: Shadow Legends

To defeat Bommal the Dreadhorn in the RAID: Shadow Legends Doom Tower, swap out turn-meter reduction champions for high-HP support units that provide shields, defensive buffs, and buff removal. Bommal's passive mechanics penalize turn-meter manipulation with extra bomb placements, making raw survivability and buff management the primary requirements for the fight.

Core Encounter Mechanics

Bommal relies on defense-ignoring bomb debuffs and retaliatory passives. Understanding his main triggers prevents accidental team wipes:

• Turn-Meter Retaliation: Reducing Bommal's turn meter triggers retaliatory bomb debuffs on your team. Avoid skills that manipulate the boss's turn meter.
• Defense-Ignoring Bombs: Bommal's bombs detonate after a fixed turn countdown, dealing damage that bypasses standard champion Defense.
• Self-Buffing: Bommal periodically applies Attack buffs to himself, which significantly increases the detonation damage of his bombs if left active.

Team Composition and Stat Priorities

Prioritize survival stats and defensive utility over speed-heavy or glass-cannon damage builds:

• Stat Focus: Build champions with high HP and Defense stats rather than focusing purely on Attack or Critical Damage. High maximum HP is essential for surviving bomb explosions.
• Defensive Buffs: Include champions capable of casting Shield, Increase Defense, Ally Protection, or Strengthen buffs to mitigate incoming damage.
• Buff Removal: Bring a support champion who can strip or steal Bommal's Attack buffs to keep detonation damage manageable.
• Cleansing and Immunity: Use support champions that can cleanse bomb debuffs or grant immunity to protect your roster throughout the fight.

Battle Execution Sequence

1. Disable Turn-Meter Reduction: Turn off or manually avoid any skills that reduce enemy turn meters before starting the battle.
2. Strip Boss Buffs Immediately: Remove Bommal’s Attack buff as soon as he casts it to prevent amplified bomb damage.
3. Time Defensive Cooldowns: Cast team shields, Ally Protection, or Strengthen right before bomb timers expire rather than using them as soon as they come off cooldown.
4. Sustain Between Cycles: Keep your team's health topped off between detonation phases using steady healing and defensive buffs until the boss is defeated.
