Raid Shadow Legends: Rowan Champion Guide

Rowan is an epic void affinity champion from the banner lords faction in Raid Shadow Legends. His aura is great for faction wars, as it boosts your teams accuracy by 50, allowing you to not need to build your champions with accuracy in mind if Rowan is the lead champ. Furthermore, her multi-target A2 and A3 ability makes her great for dungeon runs, Fire Knight in particular. Although, her poison focused A3 also makes her a great option for spider dungeon runs.

Rowan Budget Clan Boss Build Guide

Rowan is not the most popular champion in the game, but after several rebalances, she is definitely worth a closer look and can be useful in variety of PVE content. She is Void affinity making her immune to weak hits in most content. The main buff to her consisted of 4 Poisons application on her A3 skill with a 100% chance. This is quite useful in PVE content, and attacking 3 targets with her A2 can stun them with a 60% chance, which will help on waves in dungeons. Her A3 is worth booking if you’re planning on using her.

In this guide, we will consider a universal build for PVE content, as well as see how it will show itself in the popular unkillable team on Clan Boss in a budget setting.

Masteries

For good results on CB without an Unkillable team you shoud pick Warmaster T6 mastery. If you can protect Rowan from CB damage and focus solely on DPS you can pick Giant Slayer T6 mastery instead thanks to milti-hits on A2 and A3. Single Out from the Offense branch and other damage increasing masteries are a good choice. For the second branch it is better to take Support with Master Hexer to extend the duration of debuffs. If you are interested in her Heal Reduction debuff from A1 you can also pick Sniper mastery to increase the chance of placing it.

On CB we will use the strict Speed tune for unkillable, so no TM increasing masteries can be selected in order not to break the speed tune.

Gear & Stats Build

Lifesteal set is a classical PVE option to pair with Giant Slayer or Warmaster. Any other secondary set can be used to get the necessary stats, in this case Perception set from the forge to meet the Accuracy requirements easily. For Unkillable compositions you’re free to use other sets that help with the cooldown of the skills such as Reflex or DPS such as Savage.

We need to reach at least around 220+ Accuracy for dungeons and Speed tune for CB in the case of UNM 176, then focus on Health, Defense and Crit Rate. The rest of the stats are not that important.

Recommended Main Stats

• Gloves – Crit Damage if you have collected around 100% of the Сrit rate in the additional parameters, if not – better take gloves with Crit rate main stat. If you dont have unkillable team on CB then take gloves with DEF% or HP% to increase your survivability.
• Chest – HP%.
• Boots – Speed.
• Ring – DEF/HP.
• Amulet – Crit damage/DEF/HP.
• Banner – Accuracy.

If you have Refresh accessories they increase the total damage and can be highly useful for Rowan

Team & Strategy

Since Rowan does not have high base HP and Defence, it is best to use her in unkillable teams. However, her skills do not have to limit you in choosing a team, you can choose any one that suits you. Unfortunately, in addition to useful Poisons debuffs, Rowan cannot help us with much else. Heal Reduction debuff takes up 1 debuff slot on CB out of the 10 slots limit.

The team featured in this guide will use Rowan in an unkillable Helicath team, using quite budget speeds. The team is also affinity friendly because we use Doompriest. In general, you can count on the last chest for 2 key UNM CB and 1 key NM CB. Team composition and roles are as follows:

1. Helicath for Block Damage buff with 247 speed.
2. Doompriest for cleansing debuffs with 186 speed.
3. Crypt Witch for Decrease DEF debuff and dps with 176 speed.
4. Skullcrusher for Ally Protection and Counterattack buffs. Addtionally, he absorbs the damage from Boss A3 ability (with the exception of Magic affinity Boss) with 175 speed.
5. Rowan for Poison debuffs and dps with 176 speed.

Rowan End Game Clan Boss Build Guide

Rowan is an underrated champion in Raid. After the latest rebalance, her A3 has gotten a 100% chance of placing a 4 Poisons debuffs making her quite strong for Clan Boss and PvE content. In this guide, we will consider her exclusively for the Clan Boss build and using her to 1 keu UNM with end game stats. In this guide Rowan wil be used in an Unkillable composition with 2:1 rotation, as you do not need to worry about her survivability and can just focus on the correct Speed, Accuracy and DPS stats.

In this guide, we will consider a universal build for PVE content, as well as see how it will show itself in the popular unkillable team on Clan Boss in a budget setting.

Masteries

If you can protect Rowan from CB damage and focus solely on DPS you can pick Giant Slayer T6 mastery instead thanks to milti-hits on A2 and A3. Single Out from the Offense branch and other damage increasing masteries are a good choice. For the second branch it is better to take Support with Master Hexer to extend the duration of debuffs.

On CB we will use the strict Speed tune for unkillable, so no TM increasing masteries can be selected in order not to break the speed tune.

Gear & Stats Build

Rowan in this Unkillable team on Сlan Boss can use any type of sets. The best set in this composition is the Relentless set, which will significantly increase her damage. Due to additional turns, it will decrease her A3 cooldown and help place even more Poisons on the Boss.

Make sure to check if your Unkillable composition allows you to launch with Relentless set on champions before you copy it! For the secondary set you can use anything that will give you the missing stats or increase your damage.

Recommended Main Stats

• Gloves – Crit Damage%
• Chest – ATK%
• Boots – SPD
• Ring – ATK
• Amulet – Crit Damage
• Banner – ACC or ATK

If you have the Refresh or Revenge accessories – you can use them in this particular CB composition.

Team & Strategy

Rowan is featured here in one of the best Clan Boss teams in the game that goes 2 times per 1 turn of the boss. The team can work on full auto on Brutal, NM and UNM difficulties and 1 key them with good equipment. In order to make this team 100% affinity friendly, you should use a cleanser or block debuff champion. Maximum damage variant is showcased here instead of a cleanser or block debuff. If you want to 1 key UNM, a champion with Decrease DEF is also more or less mandatory on your team.

The team composition, roles and speeds are as follows:

2. Helicath for Block Damage buff with 247 speed.
3. Seeker for Increase ATK buff and turn meter boost with 250 speed.

Dungeon Runs

Dragon 20

In the Dragon’s Lair Rowan will be useful with her Poison dubuffs, which will help kill the Boss faster and thanks to her A2 she will be able to help control enemies on the waves with the Stun debuff. Thanks to Rowan being Void affinity, she has no weak hits she will perform her duties consistently at any level. Since she does not have high base HP and DEF good supports should be added to her team. Here is an example composition for Dragon 20:

1. Tayrel for AOE Decrease DEF + Decrease АТК debuffs.
2. Apothecary for SPD buff and healing.
3. Tallia for dps.
4. Broadmaw for revive and useful buffs.
5. Rowan to quickly kill the Dragon with Poisons.

Ice Golem 20

In the Ice Golem’s Peak Rowan will be useful with her Poison dubuffs too, because Boss doesn’t Counterattack after reaching certain HP threshold if passive skill was triggered by damage from Poison debuffs. Her A2 will be able to help control enemies on the waves with the Stun debuff. Here is an example composition for Ice Golem 20:

1. Stag Knight for AOE Decrease DEF and АТК debuffs.
2. Apothecary for SPD buff and healing.
3. Soulbond Bowyer for dps.
4. Broadmaw for revive and useful buffs.

Fire Knight 20

In the Fire Knight’s Castle dungeon, Rowan is great, at first she has a lot of muti-hits that help you down the boss’s shield faster. Secondly, she has a Heal Reduction debuff that interferes with the Clan Boss, but is extremely useful on FK because the boss will restores health every time it takes a turn. And of course, her A2 helps control the enemies on the waves and will come in handy. Here is an example composition for Fire Knight 20:

1. Tayrel for AOE Decrease DEF debuff and АТК debuff.
2. Apothecary for SPD buff and healing.
3. Armiger to Decrease the turn meter and quickly kill the Boss with MAX HP skill.
4. Broadmaw for revive and useful buffs.
5. Rowan for multihits, Heal Reduction debuff and dps.

Faction Wars Team & Strategy

In Faction Wars, Rowan can definitely play an important role. She is one of the few champions in the faction that have built-in crowd control and she has decent single target damage. Poisons will definitely help you kill bosses faster.

Rowan is an attack type champion and doesn’t have good HP stat needing supports to keep her alive so that she can apply debuffs and deal dps. Here is an example of a team that made it to level 21:

1. Stag Knight for AOE Decrease ATK and DEF debuffs plus Decrease SPD debuff.
2. Ursala the Mourner for revive.
3. Sethallia for healing.
4. Lord Champfort for AOE Decrease ATK debuff.
