In the world of Raid: Shadow Legends, you’ll hear a lot about different stats. There’s attack, defense, HP, and a bunch of others. But the one that often gets overlooked by new players is Speed. So, what does speed do in Raid Shadow Legends?

Simply put, Speed is the king of stats in this game. It determines how fast your champion's turn meter fills up. The higher the speed, the more turns your champion gets. This means they can use their skills more often, which can be a game-changer in any battle. It's not just about going first; it's about how many times you can act before your opponent does.

I remember when I first started playing, I was all about stacking as much attack and defense as possible on my champions. I had this awesome team that could hit like a truck, but I kept losing in the Arena. I couldn't figure out why until a clanmate pointed out that my team was way too slow. The enemy team was getting in two or three turns for every one of mine. It was a real eye-opener for me. After that, I started focusing on getting good speed stats on my champions, and the difference was night and day.

How to Increase Your Speed

So, how do you get more speed for your champions? There are a few ways:

• Artifacts: The most common way to increase speed is through artifacts. The Speed set is the most obvious choice, as it gives a bonus to your champion's base speed. But you can also get speed as a sub-stat on any artifact. I always try to get at least one speed sub-stat on every piece of gear.
• Boots: When it comes to boots, you should almost always go for speed as the main stat. It might seem like you're sacrificing other stats, but the extra turns you get from the speed boost are almost always worth it.
• Great Hall: You can also use the Great Hall to increase the speed of your champions. This is a long-term goal, but it's worth investing in.
• Skills: Some champions have skills that can increase their own speed or the speed of their allies. These champions are great to have on your team, especially in the Arena. I have a High Khatun on my team, and her speed aura is a lifesaver. She makes my whole team go faster, which is a huge advantage.

I remember one time I was stuck on a particularly tough boss in the Dragon's Lair. I just couldn't seem to do enough damage before he wiped out my team. I spent a few days farming for better gear and managed to get a few good pieces with speed sub-stats. The next time I faced the boss, I was able to get in a few extra turns with my poisoner, and that was enough to take him down. It was a great feeling and really drove home the importance of speed.

So, if you're new to Raid: Shadow Legends, don't make the same mistake I did. Start focusing on speed early on. It will make a huge difference in your progress and help you dominate in all areas of the game.
