STAG KNIGHT RECOMMENDATIONS

With such a simple, yet incredibly effective kit at his disposal, Stag Knight is a Champion that can easily slot into almost any team on any account for any player. He can deal respectable amounts of damage for a Support-type Champion, but his debuff placement is where it’s at for most players. As Epic Champions can now also Empowered, be sure to keep a hold of any duplicate Stag Knights to make your primary one more powerful! Check out our recommendations for the perfect Gear, Masteries, Blessings, and more to get the most out of Stag Knight in RAID: Shadow Legends!

MASTERIES

Stag Knight’s primary role within any team is a debuffer, setting up opponents for his damage-dealing allies to come in and knock them down quickly and efficiently. As such, any Mastery build for Stag Knight should focus on increasing his Speed and Accuracy, or increasing the chance to land debuffs on enemies. Stag Knight will get the most utility from the Support Mastery Tree, building towards the Tier 6 Mastery Eagle-Eye for a massive +50 to his Accuracy. Along the way, be sure to pick up Masteries such as Pinpoint Accuracy, Charged Focus, and Swarm Smiter for additional Accuracy, as well as either Sniper or Master Hexer, or both, at Tier 5.

Stag Knight’s additional Mastery Tree will very much depend on where you plan to use him most. For PvE content such as Dungeons, the Doom Tower, and Clan Bosses, you’ll want to focus on the Offense Mastery Tree with a view to grabbing the Tier 6 Mastery Warmaster for a chance to deal bonus damage against some of RAID: Shadow Legend’s toughest opponents. For PvP content in the Arena, survivability will be a key factor for Stag Knight. Grab Tough Skin and Blastproof for additional Defense and damage reduction, as well as Cycle of Revenge at Tier 5 for a chance to increase Stag Knight’s Turn Meter.

GEAR

Ensuring that Stag Knight has the right gear to support his allies in battle is relatively easy given the elegant and simplistic nature of his skills – just make him fast, accurate, and tanky! In terms of stat prioritization, this can be pretty easy to sort. We’d recommend HP as the primary stat on the Gauntlets, with Accuracy on the Chestplate, and Speed for the Boots. Prioritizing the sub stats should focus on the same areas – Speed, Accuracy, and HP, with additional sub stats including Defense % for extra survivability and Critical Rate if you can get it.

In terms of Artifact Sets, we’d again recommend anything that increases Stag Knight’s ability to survive and land debuffs. Perception is a great 2-piece Artifact Set that boosts both Accuracy and Speed, and another 2-piece Set, Impulse, offers a 12% increase to Speed with a 12% chance to reduce a random skill’s cooldown by 1 turn. Impulse works particularly well for Stag Knight, as he will only ever have one skill on cooldown.

BLESSINGS

As an Epic Champion, Stag Knight won’t be able to access Legendary Blessings but there are other options that work perfectly well for him. The first of these options is the Epic Blessing from the Dark Divinity, Cruelty, which decreases an opponent’s Defense whenever a Champion with Cruelty hits them, up to a certain percentage. Being able to decrease an opponent’s Defense with each hit from Stag Knight would be great on its own, but this is a Champion that excels when built with plenty of Speed. Taking turns often while placing debuffs and decreasing Defense at the same time is a great option.

Stag Knight would also benefit from the two Epic Blessings from the Harmony Divinity – Neutralize and Nature’s Wrath. Neutralize gives Stag Knight a chance to land debuffs on weak hits when attacking enemies under Poison Cloud buffs – it’s a great way to deal with the Head of Blight when fighting the Hydra Clan Boss, as it’ll place a Poison Cloud buff on all Hydra Heads. The other option, Nature’s Wrath, increases the damage inflicted by a Champion for every debuff they have successfully placed, except for debuffs placed by Gear Sets. With the ability to place three debuffs across two skills, Stag Knight can dish out some serious pain with this Blessing.

STAG KNIGHT TACTICS

Stag Knight can be a real game-changer for most early, mid, or even late-game accounts. If you’re looking for a Support Champion that can weaken the enemy’s defenses, blunt the enemy’s attack, and slow them down all while dealing damage themselves, then look no further.

DUNGEONS

Tackling Dungeons is something of a specialty for Stag Knight. His kit is very much focused around taking the sting out of an enemy’s attack, and carving open their defenses, paving the way for your stronger Attack-type Champions to survive longer and hit harder. Whether it’s any of the Gear Dungeons, Akumori, Al-Naemeh, or the Iron Twins; Stag Knight is an easy pick for your team.

DOOM TOWER

With it primarily being wave-based PvE content, Stag Knight is an excellent choice for clearing Rooms in the Doom Tower. With his second skill, Huntmaster, being on a short cooldown and attacking all enemies, Stag Knight can help clear out waves of enemies very effectively.

FACTION WARS

There are some great damage-dealing Champions in the Banner Lords Faction, especially some that have been free to claim such as Rathalos Blademaster and Ronda. Both of those are able to take full advantage of Stag Knight’s ability to place Decrease Defense, killing enemies fast to ensure you earn all three stars when completing each Stage.

STAG KNIGHT TEAM COMBINATIONS

Team composition is key, and as a Support-type Champion, Stag Knight can be your primary debuffer. Stag Knight is very similar to the Rare Champion Warmaiden, in that he can also place a 60% Decrease Defense debuff on an entire team and pave the way for a damage-dealing Champion such as Sun Wukong to easily defeat a wave of foes in one fell swoop.

However, despite being a Support-type Champion, Stag Knight lacks the ability to offer any healing to your team. You’ll need to ensure your team has someone like Lightsworn who, although he cannot heal, can place Revive on Death buffs across your entire team. Wurlim Frostking is another Champion who can offer protection, in the form of Increase Defense and Strengthen buffs, ensuring Stag Knight can survive long enough to keep placing those Decrease Defense, Decrease Attack, and Decrease Speed debuffs.
