Champion Masteries also known as Talent Tree can be customized for every champion in Raid Shadow Legends. There are 3 masteries tree types, which are Offense, Defense, and Support. Each mastery tree has 22 masteries. You can only activate 2 masteries tree and select up to 15 masteries from either tree in a descending sequence. This champion masteries guide lists all of the masteries available and provides the description of each masteries and how to use them to build your champions based on a specific role!
Blade Disciple:
+75 Attack. This mastery is outclassed by Deadly Precision. This mastery should only be taken on champions that has guaranteed criticals or requires pure attack (e.g. Bomb Debuff champion). However, once you reach late game where your equipment is able to provide 100% Critical Rate, then using Blade Disciple for your damage dealer would be much beneficial to inflict higher amount of damage!
Deadly Precision:
+5% Critical Rate. Commonly used by 99% of the champions and benefits significantly for those who are in the Attack role. This mastery is usually paired with Keen Strike to gain a 3% damage boost on average.
Heart of Glory
+5% damage when attacking with full health. Useful in Arena to increase champion’s initial damage burst when they are starting their turn with full health OR champions who can be consistently be at full health from healing skills or equipped with Lifesteal Set. This mastery is usually paired with Shield ability Champions as it protects ally from receiving any damage directly to their Health, resulting in 100% Health up-time to deal maximum damage from Heart of Glory!
Keen Strike
+10% critical damage. Best offense mastery as it significantly boost damage when comboed with decent Critical Rate.
Shield Breaker
+25% damage to targets with a [Shield] buff. Useful against Shield champions in Arena (PvP) and Magic Keep Dungeon boss. Extra damage only applies to enemies shield and not their HP. It’s particulary useful against Magic Keep Boss if you do not have any Remove Buff or Steal Buff champions. This mastery does not benefit champion whose skills ignore shield completely.
Grim Resolve
+5% damage when attacking with 50% HP or less. Excellent for long battles and synergizes well with Lifesteal Set or Life Drinker mastery. It’s also recommended on champions who has passive skill to revive themselves upon killed or casts unkillable or block damage buff to themselves when low in health to deal high amount of damage. (e.g. Skullcrown, Basilisk, Brakus the Shifter, Leorius the Proud). In addition, this mastery is commonly used in Unkillable Clan Boss to deal maximum amount of damage within the 50 turns.
Single Out
Increases damage inflicted to targets with less than 40% hp by 8%. This is great against bosses such as Clan Boss with less than 40% HP. It improves the damage from Champions skill and Tier 6 Offense Mastery (Warmaster and Giant Slayer). However, it does not enhance the damage dealt by Poison and HP Burn that are inflicted by your champions!
Life Drinker
Heals by 5% of damage inflicted when attacking with 50% HP or less. This synergizes well with Warmaster and Giant Slayer since you can inflict high damage and heal amount of HP simultaneously.
Whirlwind of Death
Increases speed by 6 for each enemy you have killed, stacks across rounds in a battle, to a maximum of 18 speed. This mastery should only be taken by the attacker champion who usually do all the killing. Whirlwind of Death effect does not apply to Spiderlings from Spider’s Den Dungeon. It’s not recommended to use this skill in a speed-tuned team as it can mess up the turn sequence unless there is sufficient speed gap between each champion. If you are using it on your fastest champion such as your Decrease Defense and Weaken debuffer, then it’s okay to use this mastery on that champion!
Ruthless Ambush
Increases damage inflicted by 8% for the first hit on each enemy. Useful in Arena and Attacker champions who can guarantee a kill in the first hit.
Bring It Down
Increases damage inflicted by 6% when attacking targets with higher max hp. Best mastery for wearing down boss HP or against enemy’s champions who has large amount of HP.
Wrath of the Slain

Cycle of Violence
Has a 30% chance of decreasing the cooldown of a random skill by 1 turn if the damage inflicted by a skill exceeds 30% of the target’s max HP. Occurs once per turn.

Methodical
Increases the damage inflicted by this Champion’s default Skill by 2% each time it is used during battle. Stacks across each round in a battle, up to 10%.

Blood Shield is best applied for Attacker Champions so they can survive longer in battle. Blood Shield does not trigger when killing Spiderlings in Spider’s Den Dungeon.
Stoked to Fury
Increases damage inflicted by 4% for each debuff on this Champion. Stacks up to 12%. Not useful mastery since you will always want to prevent debuff from being inflicted on your champion through high RESIST gear and making the first killing move in Arena. However, if you have Gurptuk the Moss-Beard, you can have him place Poison debuff on your champions, so your attacker can deal more damage using this Stoked to Fury mastery! However, this will not synergize well with Heart of Glory mastery since Poison debuff decreases the champion’s health upon taking their turn unless you have a champion with Shield Set to negate this effect. This strategy is popular in Spider’s Den where Royal Guard deal additional damage with this mastery!
Warmaster
Has a 60% chance of inflicting bonus damage when attacking. Bonus damage is equal to 10% of the target Champion’s MAX HP or 4% of the target’s MAX HP when attacking Bosses.
