Best Campaign Farmers in RAID: Shadow Legends

Quick Answer

Use a focused farmer with area damage, self-sustain or enough survivability, and gear quality your account can support. Early accounts commonly build the starter first; mature accounts may switch to a stronger dedicated farmer after verifying current champion data in-game.

What Makes a Good Campaign Farmer?

A good farmer clears waves without help. Look for repeatable area damage, short downtime between attacks, durability against unlucky hits, and a build that does not collapse when three low-level champions are carried.

Best Campaign Farmers

Do not treat this page as a ranking of every champion. RAID: Shadow Legends has a large live roster, and balance or availability can change. A practical shortlist should include your starter candidate, any current account carry with strong wave damage, and any later-game farmer whose kit you have verified in the current client.

Best Beginner Campaign Farmer

The best beginner farmer is usually the champion already receiving your books, gear, and rank-ups. That is often a starter, because splitting resources between several half-built carries delays the first reliable farm.

Best Starter Champion for Farming

Pick the starter that your current account can build into a solo wave clearer. Because starter advice changes with balance, do not rely on an old list alone; check current skills, books, and community consensus before committing scarce resources.

Fast Campaign Farmers

A fast farmer is valuable only after the run is stable. Speed comes from wave-clearing damage, animation flow, and gear quality, but this guide does not publish exact clear times because they vary by build, stage, and version.

Budget & Accessible Options

Budget options are champions you already own and can book, ascend, and gear without delaying progression. Accessibility matters more than rarity: an available champion that farms safely is better than a famous farmer you cannot build.

Required Stats

Required stats depend on champion scaling and stage. Build enough speed to take turns consistently, enough damage to clear waves, and enough survivability to handle bad targeting. Avoid fixed stat thresholds unless you verify them against your exact champion and stage.

Recommended Artifact Principles

Stats beat set names. Use the Artifacts guide to understand main stats, substats, and selling rules. Early farmers often need a mix of damage and survival; later farmers can lean harder into damage once safety is solved.

Masteries

Masteries should support the farmer's role: wave damage, consistency, and survival. Exact mastery effects can change, so confirm current text in-game before following a fixed build image from an old guide.

12-3 Brutal Performance

12-3 Brutal is the benchmark because it combines XP with shield drops that can be sold. Read the 12-3 Brutal farming guide before optimizing around one stage.

How Fast Does a Farmer Need to Be?

Fast enough to make repeated runs feel efficient, but not so fragile that failures waste energy. First make the clear automatic; then improve gear and masteries to reduce run time.
