RAID: Shadow Legends Cursed City S19 Guide: Clearing with Anaxia

To clear Soulcross Stage S19 in the Sintranos Cursed City rotation of RAID: Shadow Legends, run Anaxia as a dedicated primary wave nuker. The strict roster limits on S19 rule out standard burst champions like Seer, turning the stage into a significant bottleneck on the route to Karnage the Anarch. Equipping Anaxia for maximum offensive burst allows you to eliminate heavily armored targets before enemy counter-attacks and passives overwhelm your squad.

Building Anaxia as an S19 Nuker

Soulcross S19 features enemies with deep health pools, defensive passives, and retaliatory mechanics that punish slow attrition setups. To prevent enemy waves from resisting debuffs and cycling their cooldowns, build Anaxia purely for damage rather than as a hybrid utility champion.

Prioritize the following gear stats and set combinations:

• Critical Rate: Secure exactly 100% Critical Rate to eliminate the risk of missed critical hits on vital opening attacks.
• Critical Damage: Target between 220% and 250% or higher so her burst clears frontline enemies cleanly.
• Attack Power: Use Attack percentage main stats on her chestpiece, along with pure Attack on the ring and banner, to maximize skill multipliers.
• Speed Tuning: Tune her Speed so she acts immediately after your turn-meter boosters and defense debuffers, preventing enemies from interrupting your sequence.
• Accuracy Sub-stats: Retain moderate Accuracy from sub-stats to help secondary debuffs land on any targets that survive her opening strike.
• Artifact Sets: Savage, Lethal, or Instinct sets are ideal for bypassing heavy enemy defense. If complete four-piece penetration sets lack good stats, use Cruel sets or high-stat broken pieces with superior Attack and Critical Damage rolls.

S19 Team Role Requirements

Because Cursed City imposes tight faction, rarity, and affinity limitations, every champion supporting Anaxia must directly amplify damage or protect the team from retaliation. Structure the team to fill three primary functions:

Wave Strategy and Skill Management

Clearing S19 consistently requires manual control over skill cooldowns across both waves:

1. Wave 1 Execution: Open with your debuffer's Decrease Defense, cast your team's Increase Attack or turn-meter boost, and immediately fire Anaxia's main damage ability. Once the high-threat enemies fall, finish remaining targets using standard default attacks to let cooldowns recharge.
2. Cooldown Preservation: Do not trigger Anaxia's main damage skill or heavy team crowd control to finish off low-health stragglers at the end of the first wave.
3. Wave 2 Priority: Enter the second wave with all primary abilities ready. Manually target enemies that possess revives, team-wide buffs, or counter-attack passives before releasing Anaxia's burst.
4. Cleanup and Lockout: If an armored enemy survives Anaxia's blast, apply your team's hard crowd control to prevent counter-strikes while your team finishes the encounter.
