To clear Proving Grounds stages 2, 11, and 20 in RAID: Shadow Legends using a Titus one-shot strategy, build Titus as your primary offensive nuker and tune your support champions to act before him in turn order. Equipping Titus for maximum damage allows him to eliminate high-threat enemy champions in a single hit, preventing drawn-out battles of attrition in higher stages.

Gearing Titus for One-Shot Nukes

Titus functions as a dedicated finisher in this setup. To ensure he hits the required damage thresholds for later stages, optimize his stats strictly for damage output rather than defensive survivability.

  • Critical Rate: Cap this stat as close to 100% as possible. A non-critical hit will fail to eliminate high-level targets, breaking the one-shot sequence.
  • Critical Damage & Attack %: Prioritize Critical Damage gloves and Attack % chests. Set bonuses that increase offensive multipliers further lower the stat barrier needed to clear stage 20.
  • Speed: Maintain enough Speed for Titus to act before the enemy team, but keep his base Speed lower than your support team's Speed so buffs and debuffs are applied first.

Team Composition and Turn Speed Tuning

Titus cannot hit one-shot thresholds on stage 11 and stage 20 targets without setup. Your support team must apply stat multipliers and armor reductions before Titus uses his main area-of-effect or single-target nuke.

Essential Support Functions

  1. 50% Increase Attack Buffer: Boosts Titus's base scaling significantly prior to his damage calculation step.
  2. 60% Decrease Defense Debuffer: Drastically lowers the effective armor of enemy targets in stages 11 and 20. High Accuracy is required on this champion to prevent enemy resistance.
  3. Turn Meter / Control Support: A faster turn meter booster or crowd controller ensures your buffing sequence triggers smoothly without enemy interruption.

Wave Priority and Failure Points

When targeting enemies in Proving Grounds waves, direct your manual focus or skill priorities toward target roles that can reset the fight:

  • Primary Targets: Direct nukes at enemy revivers or high-output damage dealers first. Deleting the central threat collapses the remaining wave's effectiveness.
  • Speed Desync: If Titus takes his turn before your debuffer lands Decrease Defense, the sequence will fail. Always verify Speed stats in the champion menu before entering higher stages.
  • Debuff Resistance: If an enemy resists Decrease Defense, Titus may leave the target with low health instead of a complete kill. Ensure secondary damage or control champions are prepared to finish weakened targets if Titus leaves them alive.
