RAID: Shadow Legends Saurus Campaign Farming Build

To use Saurus as a solo campaign farmer in RAID: Shadow Legends, build him with 100% Critical Rate, high Critical Damage, and enough Speed to act before enemy waves. Because Saurus possesses Area of Effect (AoE) attacks on his skills, achieving a one-shot clear on stage 12-3 lets him clear all three enemy waves instantly while bringing three fodder champions along for maximum experience and energy efficiency.

Stat Requirements and Priority

Your primary objective is guaranteeing that Saurus wipes out every enemy on his first turn without taking damage. If Saurus lacks the stats to defeat waves in a single attack, run times slow down significantly, and lower-tier builds risk failing the run.

Cap Critical Rate at 100% first. Without guaranteed critical strikes, Saurus cannot clear waves consistently. Once capped, invest all remaining stat points into Critical Damage and Attack percentage.

Step-by-Step Saurus Build Order

Follow these steps to prepare Saurus for solo farming runs:

1. Equip Crit Rate or Crit Damage Gauntlets: Select primary-stat Crit Damage gauntlets if your substats can reach 100% Crit Rate, or use Crit Rate gauntlets until your artifact quality improves.
2. Select Attack Percentage Artifacts: Use Attack% main stats on chest armor and boots to maximize baseline raw damage.
3. Ascend and Skill Up Saurus: Fully ascend Saurus to unlock his base stat scaling and upgrade his skills to maximize AoE damage multipliers.
4. Upgrade Core Artifacts to Level 16: Enhance Saurus's key damage-focused gear pieces to level 16 to meet required kill thresholds.
5. Verify Damage Before Mass Farming: Run stage 12-3 manually to confirm Saurus kills every enemy on Wave 1, Wave 2, and Wave 3 in a single turn.

Role Limits and Gear Bottlenecks

While Saurus is an effective campaign farmer, consider his limitations before investing heavily:

• High Gear Requirement: Early-game accounts without high-tier Dungeon gear may struggle to hit 100% Crit Rate and high Crit Damage simultaneously. If Saurus leaves enemies alive, continue farming with your starter champion until you acquire better artifacts.
• Strict Role Limitation: Saurus excels exclusively at fast wave clearing. Do not build Saurus for Clan Boss or high-level Dungeon bosses, as he lacks the utility, survivability, and single-target damage required for sustained fights.
