Iudex Artor is a Legendary Spirit champion from the Sacred Order faction in Raid: Shadow Legends. As a Support unit, he brings a mix of healing, turn meter boosts, and revival skills that make him especially useful in the early to mid stages of the game. His toolkit focuses on keeping allies alive and helping them recover quickly, especially after taking heavy damage. His playstyle centers around team support with reliable healing and buffs, making him a steady presence in many teams.
In PvE content, Iudex Artor finds solid value in Faction Wars, Campaign, and some Dungeon runs, especially for players still building their core team. He can also work in early Arena defense teams thanks to his healing and turn meter boosts. His main weakness is in high-end PvP or late-game content, where faster or harder-hitting teams can outpace his support role. Still, his consistent utility and safety tools give him a spot in many lineups that need sustain and revival.

What makes Iudex Artor stand out is his Revival Mandate skill. This revives an ally with 50% HP and 50% turn meter, instantly triggering their default attack on the weakest enemy. This ability becomes even more powerful thanks to his passive, Sentenced to Life, which resets Revival Mandate if the revived ally kills an enemy using their default skill. Combined with Incense of Inspiration, which boosts ally attack, strengthens defense, and pushes turn meters, he helps swing momentum back in your favor during long fights. His A1 skill, Censer Whirl, offers steady healing to all allies, further strengthening his supportive role.
Compared to other top supports like Arbiter or Scyl of the Drakes, Iudex Artor offers a more calculated and combo-based playstyle. He doesn’t bring the raw speed and revive spam of Arbiter or the hard-hitting control of Scyl, but he makes up for it with skill synergy. Senna Amberheart may bring more crowd control, but Iudex is more focused on survival and pacing. He works best with champions that benefit from quick revives and can deal strong damage with their default skills, creating powerful follow-ups when timed correctly.

Iudex Artor Best Gear
The best artifact sets for Iudex Artor depend on your goals and playstyle. Regeneration and Immortal improve his self-healing and overall survival, helping him stay in the fight longer. Guardian supports the whole team by reducing damage taken and keeping him healthy with steady healing.
For players looking to increase control in battle, Cursed and Stun sets give Artor an edge. These sets add debuffs or crowd control effects that can interrupt enemy skills and create space for your damage dealers to act. While they don’t focus on healing, they allow Artor to pressure the enemy and shape the fight more directly.
Each gear setup brings different advantages depending on your needs. Defensive builds support long-term survival and team protection, while control builds focus on limiting enemy actions and shifting the pace of battle in your favor.

Iudex Artor Masteries
For masteries, in general PvE content, Warmaster is the best offense choice. It gives him a chance to deal bonus damage based on the enemy’s max HP, which helps him stay relevant even as a support. On the support side, take Steadfast, Lay on Hands, Healing Savior, and Merciful Aid to boost his healing effects. Lasting Gifts is very useful for extending his buffs, while Spirit Haste gives bonus speed when allies are dead, helping him turn the tide.
In PvP, especially Arena, the focus shifts. Defensive masteries like Delay Death and Retribution give him more survivability and counterattack chances. On the support side, Lasting Gifts remains strong for extending his team buffs, and Timely Intervention lets him jump in faster when allies drop low on health, giving him more chances to turn a losing fight around.

Iudex Artor Blessings
Blessings add another layer of strategy to Iudex Artor. Cruelty works well in many team setups by reducing enemy defense whenever he hits, making it easier for your team to do more damage. This is a passive way to support allies who hit hard, especially in longer fights.
Brimstone is a good blessing if you want to give Iudex some bite. It gives a chance to apply Smite, which deals high damage when enemies use active skills. Even though he’s a support, this blessing adds threat potential and helps against tanky enemies.
Intimidating Presence is best used when building around team auras. It boosts your aura while weakening the enemy’s, which is useful in the Arena where aura advantages can decide the fight. It’s especially useful if you build around Iudex Artor’s own Aura, which boosts ally speed in Arena by 25%.
