Introduction to Clan Raids and Star Ratings
If you’re diving into RAID: Shadow Legends and want to truly make an impact in your clan, mastering Clan Raids is a must. One of the biggest bragging rights—and more importantly, one of the top reward triggers—is to earn 3 Stars in Clan Raid. But what exactly do these stars mean, and how can you consistently collect them like a pro?
Whether you’re brand new to Clan Raids or you’ve been hitting the boss daily, understanding the star system is crucial for maximizing your loot and showing your dedication. Think of stars as a performance grade—your effort, your damage, your survival—they all count!
Understanding the Purpose of Stars in RAID: Shadow Legends
Stars are more than just shiny indicators—they’re used to measure your effectiveness during Clan Raids. The better your team performs, the more stars you earn. Hitting 3 stars in a raid means your squad went the extra mile—held strong, dealt serious damage, and followed through till the end.
And here’s the sweet part: the more stars you collect as a clan, the better your chest rewards at the end of the raid cycle. So yes, your personal power plays translate directly to clan-wide goodies. It’s teamwork with high stakes and high payoffs!
Why Earning 3 Stars Matters for Progression and Rewards
Let’s be honest—we all love juicy rewards. But 3 stars don’t just hand you shinier loot. They push your clan closer to unlocking harder raid difficulties and bigger prizes. Plus, it’s a sign that your champions are not only strong but also well-geared and synergized.
Hitting 3 stars regularly also earns you serious respect from clanmates and leaders alike. It shows consistency, commitment, and mastery over the game’s mechanics. If you’re aiming for top-tier clan placement or want to be the MVP during a Clan vs Clan event, 3 stars are your golden ticket.
What Are Clan Raids in RAID: Shadow Legends?
Clan Raids are cooperative boss battles where you and your clanmates take down tough, multi-phase bosses for shared rewards. These raids are different from daily Clan Boss fights—they involve progressive stages and demand more strategy, synergy, and solid champion builds.
Clan Raids test your ability to survive and deal sustained damage while managing mechanics like debuffs, healing reduction, or specific phases that counter your normal team comp. The difficulty scales, so each win builds toward tougher challenges—and better loot!
Overview of Clan vs Clan Events and Raid Boss Fights
It’s easy to confuse Clan Raids with Clan vs Clan battles or traditional Clan Boss fights, but they all serve different purposes. While Clan vs Clan is a competitive event and Clan Boss is a daily damage grind, Clan Raids are more tactical. You’re not just hitting hard—you’re building toward a shared goal with set objectives.
Each phase of a raid boss offers a unique challenge, requiring adjustments in team build, gear, and skill timing. The more efficiently you handle it, the more stars you can earn. So while you may already dominate the Demon Lord, Clan Raids will test your adaptability.
How the Star System Works in Clan Raids
Now let’s dig into what it really takes to earn each star. Clan Raids typically offer up to three stars per stage based on:
- Total damage dealt
- How many of your champions survive
- Whether you reach specific milestones in the boss’s HP bar
Getting all three means you’ve not only done damage but kept your team alive and efficient through every stage. It’s about quality over quantity—no wasted moves, clean synergy, and the ability to push the boss as far as possible.
Requirements to Get 3 Stars in a Clan Raid
So what exactly do you need to hit the full 3-star mark? It’s a mix of power and precision. Here’s what the system looks for:
Performance Metrics: Damage, Survival, and Contribution
To start, your damage output must be solid—often a minimum threshold is required to even qualify for a star. But it’s not just about raw numbers. The system also weighs how many of your champions are left standing by the end. A full wipeout, even with high damage, might cost you a star.
Also, how far you push into the boss’s HP phases matters. For example, breaking into the final phase or pushing the boss to certain health thresholds unlocks star tiers.
Meeting Boss Phase Goals and Star Milestones
Most Clan Raid bosses have health bars segmented into milestones. Reaching those breaks (like pushing past 50% or surviving all stages) triggers star gains. Each segment cleared and survived cleanly gets you closer to that glorious triple-star finish.
This is where smart timing, skill rotation, and even manual play can come in handy. If you’re on the edge of 2 or 3 stars, tightening up your run could make all the difference!
Team Composition Tips for Securing 3 Stars
If you want to go beyond average and earn 3 stars consistently, your team comp needs to be sharp. The right blend of champions can make or break your raid attempt.
Role of Support, Damage Dealers, and Buffers
Think of your team like a perfectly balanced smoothie—you need a blend of high damage, strong sustain, and protective utility. Support champions keep your team alive through buffs and healing, while buffers like Increase DEF or Block Debuffs help you survive trickier phases.
DPS (damage per second) units should be reliable and scale well with longer fights. Pair them with supports who can feed turn meter or reduce skill cooldowns. And don’t forget cleansers—some raid bosses love throwing debuffs your way!
Best Champions to Use for Different Clan Raid Stages
Early raid stages can be tackled with solid Epic champions like High Khatun, Apothecary, and Kael, but as you move up, you’ll want stronger Legendaries like Duchess Lilitu, Krisk the Ageless, or Uugo. These champs bring sustainability, damage reduction, or full team utility to every fight.
And if you’re using tools like the RAID Build Tool to optimize your gear and synergy, you’ll have a much easier time finding the best loadout for each stage.
Gear and Mastery Setups That Maximize Star Ratings
Gearing your champions right is half the battle when it comes to consistently earning 3 stars in Clan Raids. Even the most powerful champion can flop if they’re wearing the wrong boots or stuck with mismatched gear sets. But don’t worry—let’s turn your team into a star-winning machine!
Your goal here is to combine survivability, support utility, and consistent damage. The key is not just how hard you hit—but how long you last while doing it. Especially for longer fights like Clan Raid bosses, endurance is the name of the game.
Optimizing Artifacts, Accessories, and Set Bonuses
Let’s start with artifacts. Sets like Lifesteal, Immortal, or Relentless can do wonders for champions who need to stay alive and cycle skills quickly. Support champs? Give them Speed and Perception sets so they can boost turn meter, heal faster, and land key debuffs or buffs.
Don’t overlook your accessories either—Amulets with high resistance or Banners with HP% or Speed can seriously elevate your support champions. Prioritize survivability on your team’s backbone roles and accuracy on debuffers so they don’t miss critical shots.
Want even more control over your gear builds? Try using RSL Helper’s Artifact Management Features to declutter and fine-tune your best pieces—it makes star-chasing way more efficient!
Must-Have Masteries for Clan Raid Performance
Masteries give your champions the edge in battle, especially when aiming for flawless, three-star runs. For damage dealers, Warmaster is an essential Tier 6 mastery—it boosts boss damage dramatically over time. Giant Slayer also works well for champions with multi-hit A1s.
Support champs should lean toward Lore of Steel, Rapid Response, and Cycle of Magic—these help speed up buffs, boosts, and turn meter cycling. Don’t forget Lasting Gifts for extending those clutch shields, speed buffs, or heals.
Also, defense tree perks like Tough Skin and Resurgent can increase your odds of surviving unexpected boss mechanics. Remember—no stars if your team gets wiped!
Strategies for Boss Phases and Star Triggers
Each Clan Raid boss has phases designed to mess with your flow—and if you’re not ready, you’ll find yourself at 1 or 2 stars max. The good news? With a bit of planning and timing, you can outsmart every phase they throw at you.
Timing Skills for Maximum Impact
Hold onto your biggest skills until the boss hits key HP milestones. Some bosses become immune or even reflect damage, so popping your nukes too early can backfire. Learn the boss pattern, and time your cleanses, blocks, and nukes for maximum uptime and minimal waste.
A perfectly timed Shield buff or Increase DEF can be the difference between surviving that heavy AOE attack or watching your whole backline drop like flies. Plan around the boss’s skill cycle, and try not to use important cooldowns too early.
Surviving Long Battles and Avoiding Wipes
Sustain is the name of the game here. The longer your team lasts, the better your chance at a high-star clear. Use HP-based champions with self-heals, revivers, or even champions who can drop Continuous Heals or Block Debuffs every few turns.
You’ll also want someone to revive fallen allies if things go south—champions like Duchess, Gorgorab, or Scyl of the Drakes shine here. Even a single revive at the right time can turn a 1-star clear into a flawless 3-star victory.
Mistakes That Can Cost You a 3-Star Rating
You’re doing your best, but somehow, you’re stuck at two stars. What gives? Often, it’s not your team’s power—it’s small errors in judgment, strategy, or build that snowball into a miss.
Underestimating the Boss’s Mechanics
One of the biggest blunders is ignoring or misreading the boss’s mechanics. Every Clan Raid boss has triggers—stuns, counterattacks, debuff cleanses—and if you’re not ready, you’ll get blindsided. This is where reading the skill set and adjusting your lineup matters most.
Another common error? Assuming auto-battle will win the day. Sometimes, a manual run—especially on the final phase—makes all the difference in securing that last star.
Poor Team Synergy and Bad Gear Choices
We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again—your team isn’t just a collection of powerful champs. If they don’t work well together, you’re setting yourself up for disappointment. Don’t run multiple turn meter boosters with no healer. Avoid stacking nukers with no defense buffs.
And yes, your gear might need a refresh! If your damage dealer can’t survive the first phase or your healer never gets a turn, it’s time to swap out artifacts or review your stat priorities.
To better identify synergy issues, many players find it helpful to review performance using RSL Helper’s Combat Logs, which highlight where champions are underperforming.
Tracking Progress and Improving Performance
It’s not enough to just win—you want to win efficiently and with consistency. That’s where tracking your performance comes in. Whether you’re aiming for full-star clears or just trying to survive boss phases, reviewing your battle data is key to climbing in Clan Raid difficulty levels.
One of the best habits you can develop is checking your damage reports and turn breakdowns after each attempt. Pay attention to which champions are pulling their weight, who’s dying too early, and which abilities are firing off at the wrong time. All these insights help you fine-tune your squad for that perfect 3-star run.
Using Logs and Damage Reports to Analyze Results
RAID’s post-battle report gives you a snapshot, but if you really want to dig deep into your team’s performance, using a support tool like RSL Helper is a game-changer. It lets you monitor turn order, damage output, and skill usage with precision—so you can spot those weak links in your rotation or gear setup.
Pay special attention to your support champions’ buffs and debuffs, as these often make or break your success in longer battles. If your turn meter booster isn’t going first, or if your healer’s cooldowns aren’t lining up properly, you’re not getting the value you need for 3-star performance.
How Tools Like RSL Helper Can Assist in Performance Review
The RSL Helper tool is especially helpful when reviewing artifact performance and skill cycling. Let’s say you’re consistently missing 3 stars by a small margin—this tool shows you whether you’re over-relying on one champ or not making the most of set bonuses like Lifesteal or Speed.
With in-depth logs and easier tracking, RSL Helper helps you go beyond the surface and identify patterns, which means less guesswork and more wins.
When to Retry and When to Rethink Your Strategy
So you didn’t get 3 stars—now what? Sometimes it’s worth retrying the run if you know a mis-timed skill or unlucky crit caused your loss. Other times, it’s smarter to rebuild your team or try a different approach.
Adjusting Your Team Build Based on Results
If your runs are failing at the same phase over and over, it’s probably a team composition issue. Swap in a reviver, a cleanser, or someone with a debuff-blocking buff. And don’t underestimate Speed tuning—having your support go before your damage dealer can turn things around instantly.
Keep testing small changes in gear, masteries, or team order until your runs stabilize. Three stars often come from fine-tuning, not from brute power.
Farming vs. Pushing for Stars: What’s More Efficient?
Here’s the big debate: should you keep retrying for 3 stars, or just farm lower-level raids with consistency? The answer depends on your goals.
- If you’re after milestone unlocks and advanced difficulty, then yes—go all in on chasing those stars.
- But if you’re farming for materials or clan XP, consistent clears (even with 1-2 stars) are totally fine.
Over time, building stable, efficient teams gives you the best of both worlds.
Conclusion
Earning 3 stars in Clan Raid isn’t just about brute force—it’s about smart strategy, synergy, and staying power. From choosing the right champions and gear to monitoring performance and adjusting on the fly, you’ve got plenty of ways to sharpen your team into a star-winning squad.
And don’t forget—support tools like RSL Helper can simplify the grind by helping you optimize gear, track results, and fine-tune performance.
Now go out there and collect those stars—you’ve got this!
