To clear higher stages of the Phantom Shogun in RAID: Shadow Legends, build your team around Mavara, speed-tune her to take her turn before your main damage dealer, and meet minimum Accuracy and survivability stats across your support units.
Core Team Composition and Roles
Mavara serves as the anchor for this strategy by managing the boss's shifting mechanics and keeping the team defensively stable. Pair her with champions that fulfill three essential secondary roles:
- Turn Meter Control: Reduces the Shogun's turn meter to create wider damage windows and limit boss actions.
- Defense Down and Weaken: Essential debuffs to shorten the fight, reducing the chance for the Shogun to execute wipe mechanics.
- Shield or Passive Heal Support: Absorbs incidental damage and keeps champions at full health to prevent targeted attacks on weakened units.
Key Stat Thresholds
Meeting specific stat baselines is more important than equipping end-game sets. Focus on Accuracy to land debuffs reliably, along with sufficient defensive stats to prevent early wipes.
| Stat / Tuning Target | Requirement | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Accuracy | 250+ minimum | Ensures debuffs land through high boss resistance on upper stages. |
| Speed Tuning | Mavara acts before damage dealer | Prepares boss affinity state prior to primary attack turn. |
| Support HP | 40,000+ | Prevents support champions from being targeted or eliminated early. |
| Support Defense | 2,500+ | Absorbs incoming incidental damage throughout the fight. |
Strategy and Execution Sequence
- Tune Speed Order: Set your turn order so Mavara cycles her abilities faster than your primary nuker. If Mavara is too slow, defensive stability breaks down.
- Land Debuffs Immediately: Apply Defense Down and Weaken as soon as the Shogun acts or shifts. Avoid long cooldowns that create turns where the boss remains unbuffed or unmitigated.
- Prioritize Stats Over Raw Damage: If your runs fail, verify turn order and Accuracy first before attempting to increase total damage output. Resisted debuffs are the primary cause of failed runs.
