RAID Gear Main Stats: What to Put on Gloves, Chest and Boots

Weapon, helmet and shield are easy – the variable slots decide whether gear is good. Here's which main stats each role wants on gloves, chest, boots and accessories.

RAID: Shadow Legends · Tips & Tricks

Every champion in RAID has six artifact slots plus three accessory slots. Three of the artifact slots always roll the same main stat. The other three – gloves, chestplate and boots – are where good and bad gear is decided.

For these pieces, only the set and the substats matter.

Speed boots are the default for almost everyone. Exceptions are rare.

The flat stat trap

Gloves, chest and boots can also roll flat ATK, HP or DEF main stats. These are almost always far weaker than the percentage versions, especially on higher-level champions. Treat flat main stats on these slots as sell candidates unless the substats are exceptional.

Accessories

Accessories – Ring, Amulet and Banner – are locked to a faction, so they can only be worn by champions of that faction. They mostly come from Faction Wars – see our Faction Wars guide.

RingHP, ATK or DEF (match the champion’s scaling stat)
AmuletC.DMG for damage dealers; HP/DEF for supports
BannerACC for debuffers; RES for defensive champions

Substats matter as much as main stats

A perfect main stat with useless substats is still mediocre. When judging gear:

  1. Speed substats are almost always worth keeping.
  2. Look for two or more substats that fit the role.
  3. Upgrade in steps (+4, +8, +12, +16) – see our silver tips.

Quick rules

  • Damage dealers: crit gloves, scaling-stat chest, speed boots.
  • Debuffers: Accuracy chest, speed boots.
  • Supports: HP/DEF everywhere, speed boots.

Get main stats right first, then hunt for substats. For which sets to put them in, read our artifact set tier list.
