RAID: Shadow Legends gets spooky this Halloween 2025 with a lineup that mixes hard control, brutal single-target pressure, and team-wide support. Below, we break down each champion and their skills, while providing useful explanations and strategies on how they actually play. If you’re deciding where to spend shards or books, this guide should help you spot immediate synergies and squad roles at a glance.
Let’s begin!
Sanguine Maria — Force Legendary (Undead Hordes)
A relentless duelist whose damage ramps with each hit, Sanguine Maria brings turn-based gimmicks that crack defensive teams and punish revives. She yo-yos tempo with extra turns and can spike through mitigation on specific turn counts.
Hematic Blades (A1): 3 hits; each hit 33% chance to grant an extra turn (max 1 extra turn per use).Sanguine Fissure (A2): Nuke that ignores 33% DEF; on turns divisible by 3, ignores 99% DEF plus Stoneskin and Block Damage; kills also add +3 turn cooldown to all enemy skills (unresistable on divisible-by-3 turns).Gorescream (A3): Strip all buffs from all enemies before the hit; becomes unresistable on enemies with a buffs count divisible by 3; then hits all remaining enemies under 66% HP; grants an extra turn if this champion has a buffs count divisible by 3.Say Her Name (P): Each subsequent hit deals +33% damage (up to +99%), then resets; each subsequent hit taken deals −33% damage (up to −99%), then resets; whenever an enemy is revived, self-revives with 33% HP and 66% TM, then applies unresistable, unblocked True Fear (2 turns) to all enemies.Aura: Ally ATK +33% in all battles.

Cycle A3 early to raise your team’s defenses and put Counterattack/RES on Thorn Golem, then follow with A2 to suppress accuracy-reliant enemies and fish for Fears that blunt opposing turns. A1’s Leech adds passive sustain for allies, while the DEF-scaled self-heal improves uptime without external resources. His kit is simple but layered, providing both control and mitigation in a single slot.
He pairs well with DEF-scaling teams, healers who benefit from Leech, and controllers who appreciate Decrease ACC softening incoming debuffs. In wave content and Faction Wars-style encounters, the combination of Increase DEF, Fears, and Leech stabilizes runs; in Arena offense, he’s a utility pick that helps your carries stay online against control-heavy defenses. As an Epic, he’s also a practical progression piece before more specialized legendaries come online.
This Halloween roster covers many categories, with Sanguine Maria cracking bunkers and punishing revives with timed nukes; Gaspard anchoring DEF-centric squads while auto-sniping resurrections; Venalicia as a controller who resets entire boards; and Thorn Golem bringing budget-friendly layers of mitigation and soft control. While their impact on the current RSL Meta is yet to be seen, we recommend slotting the one that fills your team’s gaps and you’ll see immediate returns.
