In Raid: Shadow Legends, a Force Champion is one of the four main types of champions, known as "Affinities." Think of it like a rock-paper-scissors system. Each Affinity is strong against one type and weak against another. Force champions, marked by the color red, are strong against Magic champions (blue) but weak against Spirit champions (green).

So, what does this mean for you in the game? When you're in a battle, a Force champion will deal more damage to a Magic champion. On the flip side, they'll take more of a beating from Spirit champions. It’s a simple but super important part of the game’s strategy. I remember when I first started playing, I completely ignored Affinities. I just picked my strongest-looking champions for every fight. I kept losing battles I should have won. Then, a friend pointed out the little color icons, and it was a total game-changer for me.

Strengths and Weaknesses of Force Champions

Here’s a quick breakdown of how Force champions stack up against the other Affinities:

• Strong Against Magic (Blue): Your Force champions will do 30% more damage to Magic champions. They also have a better chance of landing a critical hit.
• Weak Against Spirit (Green): Be careful when facing Spirit champions. Your Force champions will do 20% less damage and have a higher chance of their hits being weak.
• Neutral Against Void (Purple): When fighting Void champions, there are no advantages or disadvantages. It’s a level playing field.

I learned this the hard way when I was stuck on a particularly tough boss in the campaign. My team was getting wiped out over and over again. I realized the boss was a Spirit champion and my team was mostly Force. I swapped out a few of my champions for Magic ones, and suddenly, the fight was a breeze. It’s amazing how much of a difference a little bit of strategy can make.

If you're looking for some of the best Force champions to add to your team, here are a few to keep an eye out for:

• Kael: A great starter champion that can be a powerhouse in the early to mid-game.
• Athel: Another solid starter champion who can hit hard and is useful in many areas of the game.
• Warmaiden: A rare champion that's relatively easy to get and has a great AoE defense down debuff.
