RAID: Shadow Legends Scarecrow Support Build Guide

To build Scarecrow as an effective support champion in RAID: Shadow Legends, prioritize Speed and Accuracy above all other attributes. Scarecrow functions as a proactive controller in Chimera and high-level PvE encounters, landing debuffs and manipulating turn meters before bosses can unleash lethal spike damage. Offensive stats like Attack and Critical Rate should be disregarded so you can dedicate artifact stats entirely to consistency and bulk.

Core Stat Priorities and Target Benchmarks

Scarecrow's utility depends on taking turns ahead of enemy mechanics and clearing Resistance checks. Aim for the following baseline benchmarks when gearing:

Primary Artifact Slot Choices

• Boots: Speed
• Chestplate: HP% or Defense%
• Gloves: Defense% or HP%
• Ring: Defense or HP with flat and percentage substats
• Amulet: Defense or HP
• Banner: Accuracy (switch to Defense or HP only if substats already fulfill dungeon Accuracy checks)

Recommended Artifact and Accessory Sets

Equip gear sets that enhance turn cycling or make Accuracy and Speed thresholds easier to reach:

• Perception / Accuracy Sets: The standard setup for meeting steep Accuracy checks while securing extra Speed. Using two or three Perception sets lowers gear requirements across your other slots.
• Speed / Righteous Sets: Valuable two-piece sets to push Scarecrow past the 240+ Speed threshold, ensuring he remains ahead of incoming boss turns.
• Reflex or Relentless Sets: Turn-cycling options that grant extra turns or random cooldown reductions. Use these only if your jewelry and substats already meet your required Accuracy benchmark.
• Guardian Set: An endgame defensive option that absorbs 10% of damage taken by allies, redirecting it to Scarecrow's high HP pool.
• Accessories: Prioritize Revenge accessories to trigger counterattacks on his default skill, or Refresh accessories for a 5% chance to reset skill cooldowns.

Skill Tomes and Masteries

Invest skill tomes into Scarecrow's active support and control skills first. Maximizing these abilities reduces cooldown timers and closes vulnerability windows during boss encounters. His default attack can remain unbooked if skill tomes are limited.

Recommended Masteries

Pair the Support and Defense trees to secure essential stats and survivability:

• Support Tree: Take Pinpoint Accuracy (+10 Accuracy) and Charged Focus (+20 Accuracy when skills are on cooldown). Add Lore of Steel to increase stat bonuses from basic artifact sets, and finish with Master Hexer for a 30% chance to extend debuff durations. Choose Eagle Eye for additional raw Accuracy, or select Warmaster via the Offense tree if your roster needs extra passive damage in prolonged boss fights.
• Defense Tree: Take Tough Skin for baseline Defense, Blastproof to reduce incoming boss AoE damage by 8%, and Delay Death to reduce cumulative damage taken from repeat enemy attackers.

Team Composition and Encounter Strategy

Scarecrow prevents wipes through proactive mitigation, but he does not clear crowd control applied to himself. Pair him with a cleanser or a champion providing Block Debuffs—such as Duchess Lilitu or Elva Autumnborn—to ensure he is never frozen, stunned, or slept.

In Chimera and extended boss stages, hold Scarecrow's primary disruption abilities until the boss prepares a major attack or special skill bar. Avoid deploying major control cooldowns right before an enemy phase shift or during active boss invulnerability shields. Triggering his mitigation at the start of high-threat enemy turns allows your damage dealers to maintain their rotations safely.
