To increase survivability against burst-heavy Arena teams in RAID: Shadow Legends, equip support and tank champions with the Immortal gear set. Equipping this set grants a 15% HP boost and a passive 3% self-heal at the start of every turn. Because this healing triggers automatically each turn without requiring active skill usage, it persists through skill blocks and ability cooldowns.
How the Immortal Set Functions
The Immortal set builds defensive effective HP by multiplying base health and generating recurring recovery:
- 15% HP Bonus: Increases the champion's base health pool, creating a larger maximum health threshold.
- 3% Turn Heal: Triggers at the start of the champion's turn, scaling directly off their maximum HP.
- Passive Activation: Functions independently of active skill cooldowns, bypassing enemy skill-block debuffs.
- Stackable Set Property: Equipping multiple Immortal set pairs stacks the stat bonuses and percentage-based self-healing across your total gear pieces.
Because the heal scales with maximum health, champions with high natural base HP gain the largest return from each healing tick.
Champion Selection and Gear Stats
Reserve Immortal gear for anchor champions responsible for maintaining your team's presence through extended combat.
Ideal Champion Traits
- High Base HP: Maximizes the output of the percentage-based set bonus and healing.
- Inherent Mitigation: Passive damage reduction or built-in defense buffs that prevent heavy single-hit nukes from bypassing your total HP pool.
- Turn-Cycling Abilities: Speed boosts or extra turn mechanics that trigger the 3% start-of-turn recovery more frequently.
Stat Priorities
| Gear Slot | Preferred Main Stat | Strategic Benefit |
|---|---|---|
| Gauntlets | HP% | Expands the maximum health multiplier for turn heals. |
| Chestplate | HP% | Increases maximum health to survive incoming chip damage. |
| Boots | Speed or HP% | Speed increases turn frequency; HP% maximizes single-tick heal size. |
Focus on Speed substats across all pieces. Taking faster turns directly increases how often the 3% healing effect activates during a match. If your champion cannot survive single-hit nukes, supplement HP% main stats with Defense percentage (% DEF), flat HP, or team Ally Protection and Shield buffs.
Strategic Role and Counterplay
Using Immortal gear suits control or attrition-based Arena teams rather than single-turn nuke compositions. The goal is to survive initial offensive burst and outlast enemy cooldowns.
Team Building and Counters
- Bring Cleansers or Revivers: Passive healing is hard-countered by Heal Reduction debuffs. Always pair your anchor champion with a cleanser to remove debuffs or a reviver to recover from heavy single-target attacks.
- Evaluate Gear Slots: Equipping Immortal set pieces consumes gear slots that could otherwise hold Speed, Resistance, or Accuracy sets. If your support champion relies on landing crowd control or debuffs, balance set selection to ensure required Accuracy thresholds are still met.

The tips are practical and easy to follow.
I tried this today and it worked better than my old setup.
Can you add more details about strategy in a future update?
I wish I had read this before upgrading the wrong thing.
