Quintus the Triumphant isn't just a flashy Arena reward; he's a meticulously crafted nuker in RAID: Shadow Legends. As a Void Affinity Legendary Attack champion from the Banner Lords, Quintus unleashes a powerful mix of irresistible debuffs, skill resets upon killing enemies, and damage that increases with the buffs on his foes. He's particularly effective against teams that rely heavily on buffs, becoming more deadly as his enemies try to bolster their defenses.
However, mastering Quintus is no easy feat. With no defensive scaling and minimal utility beyond his damage output, his performance hinges entirely on how well you equip, position, and maneuver him in battle. This guide delves deep into his capabilities, offering a thorough analysis of his skills, optimal mastery selections, artifact priorities, blessing options, and synergy strategies for both PvE and PvP. For newcomers, we suggest exploring our Beginner’s Guide for RAID: Shadow Legends for a comprehensive overview.
Understanding Quintus’s Role
Before committing resources to any champion, it's crucial to grasp their role on the battlefield. Quintus is a pure-burst finisher, lacking in crowd control, healing, or ally buffs (except for self-buffs). His strength lies in the lethal, targeted elimination of key threats and his ability to reset and chain through battles when properly set up.
In PvP, he excels at dismantling defensive compositions by stripping buffs and bypassing most forms of mitigation. His Strip Away skill is unique, capable of removing buffs, applying Decrease DEF, and delivering heavy damage without the need for Accuracy or being hindered by passives. For PvE, his AoE Crowd Favorite skill positions him as an effective wave clearer when paired with champions that enhance survivability and turn cycling.
While not a versatile champion, Quintus is one of the most efficient closers in the game when used with precision.
Quintus the Triumphant doesn't aim to win a prolonged conflict; he's designed to dominate in one or two turns. When equipped with high Crit Damage, suitable gear sets, and the right mastery paths, Quintus can shatter Stoneskin, dismantle tanky setups, and dominate wave-based PvE stages with a kill-reset-kill cycle.
He may lack versatility, but he compensates with ruthless efficiency. For players who relish finishing battles with precise and calculated aggression, Quintus is a formidable weapon. Let him strike second, and he'll ensure there's no need for a third. For improved control, performance enhancements, and better macro management in extended battles, consider playing RAID: Shadow Legends on BlueStacks.
