Fahrakin the Fat is a Spirit affinity Epic champion from the Barbarians faction in Raid: Shadow Legends. He is an Attack-type champion known for his strong support abilities in Clan Boss and other content that requires team synergy.
While his name may sound humorous, his skills are serious and effective, offering strong debuffs and buffs that make him a reliable ally in long battles.
Fahrakin performs well in both PvE and PvP modes, but he really shines in Clan Boss, Doom Tower, and Faction Wars. His skills are great for poison-based teams and setups that need extra survivability and debuff support.
In Arena and Hydra, he is less effective due to his single-target damage and slower speed, but his team buffs can still offer some value. Overall, he fits best into teams focused on sustained damage over time.

His strongest skill is Beatdown, which boosts all allies with Critical Rate and Critical Damage, then triggers an ally attack, excluding himself. This is great for speeding up boss fights and increasing team output.
Brand of Shame is also important, as it places both HP Burn and Poison debuffs, which are key for many PvE battles. His passive, Body Block, spreads part of the damage he receives across allies, helping him survive longer and support the team indirectly.
Compared to other ally attack champions like Kreela or Longbeard, Fahrakin brings more debuffs and better synergy for poison-focused teams. He may not hit as hard, but his utility is high.
He works well with champions who benefit from ally attacks or deal strong single-target damage, such as Fayne, Rhazin Scarhide, or Occult Brawler. He’s best placed in teams built for Clan Boss or Doom Tower bosses that rely on damage over time.

Fahrakin the Fat Best Gear
When gearing Fahrakin the Fat, Reflex is one of the best choices. This 4-piece set gives him a 40% chance to reduce the cooldown of a random skill, which is helpful for using Beatdown and Brand of Shame more often. Since those skills are key to his value, reducing cooldowns means more buffs and more debuffs applied.
Perception is also a good option. It gives extra Accuracy and Speed, helping him land his debuffs more reliably and take his turns faster. This is important in both Clan Boss and Doom Tower, where timing and landing debuffs can make a big difference in battle flow.
Lifesteal can be used if he’s in a team without much healing. It helps him heal by 30% of the damage he deals, improving his survival in longer fights. Each gear set offers different strengths, so the best one depends on your team setup and what role you need him to fill.

Fahrakin the Fat Masteries
For PvE content, the best masteries focus on Offense and Support trees. The Offense tree should include Warmaster for damage, along with other masteries like Keen Strike and Methodical to increase his damage output. Life Drinker and Bring It Down also help with healing and bonus damage to stronger enemies.
In the Support tree, focus on Accuracy and debuff extension. Pinpoint Accuracy and Charged Focus improve his chances to land debuffs. Master Hexer and Lasting Gifts help make his debuffs and buffs last longer. Lore of Steel boosts stats from gear sets like Perception, while Cycle of Magic offers a chance to reduce cooldowns.
For PvP, Defense and Support masteries are better. In Defense, take Tough Skin and Mighty Endurance for survival, then Improved Parry and Resurgent to help resist debuffs and recover faster. Delay Death and Cycle of Revenge give more protection and speed boosts when allies are hit.
The Support tree in PvP should still include Accuracy and cooldown reduction masteries. Timely Intervention can help him take a turn when allies drop low on HP, which can be useful to trigger his skills at the right time. These masteries keep him useful even in fights where survival is harder.

Fahrakin the Fat Blessings
When choosing blessings for Fahrakin the Fat, Cruelty is a top choice. It reduces enemy DEF whenever he hits them, making the whole team deal more damage. This is especially good in Clan Boss and Doom Tower.
Phantom Touch is another strong option. It adds a chance to deal bonus damage when he hits enemies. This small extra damage can add up over time, especially in long battles.
Each blessing supports a different playstyle. Cruelty is better for team synergy and weakening bosses, while Phantom Touch works better for pushing extra damage. Choose based on the type of team you use him in.
How to Get Fahrakin the Fat
Fahrakin the Fat can be summoned from Ancient, Primal, and Sacred Shards. He is part of the regular shard pool, so he can appear during any shard pull event or at random. There is no special fusion or event currently running to guarantee him.
He was added to the game on January 14th, 2021, as part of Patch 3.20. If you missed any events that included him, the only current way to get him is through shard pulls. Keeping an eye on 2x and 10x events can slightly increase your chances.
Since he’s an Epic champion, he is easier to get than Legendaries but still not guaranteed. Many players find him by chance while pulling shards during events. If you’re building a Clan Boss team, he’s worth keeping an eye out for.
