If you’re still in the early game and building a team to take on Raid: Shadow Legends’ Demon Lord, having one or more of these top 10 Rare Champions for Clan Boss will be very helpful.
The first time you take on the Clan Boss in Raid: Shadow Legends, chances are you won’t be able to make a full team of Legendary or Epic Champions. These Rare Champions, however, can help fill the gaps in your Clan Boss teams. Some especially well suited to demolishing the Demon Lord in their own right.
Check our Clan Boss Guide below for in-depth tips on how to beat the pesky hellspawn on every difficulty level, too.

Pain Keeper
Pain Keeper is incredibly powerful for the Clan Boss, although she does need Maneater in the team to execute a “budget” unkillable team strategy. This strategy is based around her A3 Skill, which can reduce the cooldowns of your whole team’s Skills by one turn – a generally rare ability in the game overall.

Frozen Banshee
Frozen Banshee’s A3 Skill places a [Poison Sensitivity] Debuff, while her A1 Skill can inflict a 5% [Poison] Debuff to any target affected by [Poison Sensitivity]. This makes her a great Champion to take out for some Demon Lord slaying, as [Poison] is one of the most effective ways of damaging the Clan Boss.

Heiress
Heiress has a superb selection of Skills for a Rare Champion and has become a go-to choice for Clan Boss for many players. This is mainly thanks to her A2 Skill, which clears one Debuff from all allies (ideal for removing [Stun]) in Clan Boss fights) while also potentially placing [Increase SPD] on your team.

Bulwark
Bulwark’s excellent Clan Boss utility is mainly due to his Passive. This allows him to extend all active Debuffs on his attacker by one turn when Bulwark is attacked. Given he can also land [HP Burn] on his A2 Skill, he’s also handy against several other Raid Bosses, including the Frost Spider.

Apothecary
This High Elf healer is an awesome addition to any early to mid-game team, and not just for Clan Boss. Apothecary’s A3 Skill delivers an [Increase SPD] Buff and a Turn Meter increase, while his three-hit A1 Skill works great against Clan Boss with the right Masteries. An essential choice for any early-game players facing down the Demon Lord!

Coffin Smasher
Perhaps better named “Clan Boss Smasher,” Coffin Smasher’s mallet-swinging A1 Skill enables him to hit a single target three times, with a chance to place a 50% [Decrease ATK] Debuff with each hit. His A2 Skill has a 75% chance to land [HP Burn] too. He also brings extra survivability with his Passive, which decreases enemy AoE damage by 5%.

Doomscreech
Another (admittedly hideous-looking) top choice for early to mid-game players. Doomscreech has the rare combination of a Turn Meter boost and [Increase DEF] Buff on his A2 Skill. Coupled with a [Shield] on his A3 and a multi-hit A1 that can [Decrease ATK], he also brings survivability and Debuff utility to your Clan Boss team.

Athel
One of the starting Champions that remains useful even into the late game, Athel’s three-hit A1 Skill can also inflict [Weaken] on her target. This is ideal for Clan Boss (and Fire Knight) to amplify the damage your team can deal. Her A2 makes her a solid Champion for Campaign farming and wave clearing too.

Gravechill
While she works best with her cold as ice sister Frozen Banshee, Gravechill is still a strong mid-game option for Clan Boss. Her A1 and A3 Skills can deliver some powerful [Posion] Debuffs, which in turn make her A2 and associated [Decrease DEF] Debuff even stronger. Her Skills also make her a good choice for Dragon.

Bogwalker
Bogwalker is a stalwart early-game Clan Boss option thanks to his A1 Skill that can land [Decrease DEF]. This will help your team bring the pain to Demon derriere. He has a nice Passive that can Buff all allies with [Reflect Damage] too.

All in all, any of these Champions will serve you well in your initial encounters with Clan Boss. You’ll even find Champions like Heiress being used even in late-game teams (unlike her poor and quite useless twin Adjudicator)!
