Scyl of the Drakes

Scyl of the Drakes is a Legendary Defense-type champion from the Barbarians faction. She has Magic affinity and is one of the most useful champions given for free in Raid: Shadow Legends. Known for her strong healing and crowd control, Scyl plays a support and utility role, helping her team stay alive while also keeping enemies under control. Her skills make her useful for players at every stage of the game, from early to late.

In both PvE and PvP, Scyl is a flexible and powerful champion. She performs very well in dungeons like Dragon’s Lair and Ice Golem, thanks to her healing and stun abilities. She’s also a great help in Faction Wars, where her revive and healing can carry weaker teams. In the Arena, her crowd control is useful but not always reliable compared to dedicated Arena control champions. Still, her overall utility and survival skills make her a strong pick in most areas of the game.

Scyl’s key strength lies in her healing and control. Her passive skill heals all allies by 10% of their max HP every turn and gives a random speed boost, keeping the team alive and fast. Her A2 skill attacks all enemies twice with a chance to stun them, offering strong crowd control. She also has a revive skill that brings one ally back to life with half HP and protects them with an Ally Protection buff. These abilities make her one of the best support champions given freely in the game.

Compared to similar champions like Godseeker Aniri and Doompriest, Scyl offers more crowd control with her AOE stuns, while also providing a steady team heal. Doompriest has stronger passive cleansing, and Aniri has a full-team revive, but Scyl’s all-around balance of healing, stunning, and reviving makes her more complete for general use. She works best in teams that need durability, especially where healing and control are both important.

Scyl of the Drakes Best Gear

When it comes to gear, Relentless is one of the best sets for Scyl. It gives her an 18% chance to take another turn after her action. Since she heals passively and can stun or revive, getting extra turns means more healing, more stuns, and faster support. This can be game-changing, especially in longer dungeon fights or Faction Wars.

Stun set is another great choice, especially if you want to use her A2 skill for more crowd control. It gives her a chance to place a stun debuff on enemies when she hits them. Since her A2 hits all enemies twice, the stun set can increase the chances of locking down multiple enemies, making her very useful in waves and Arena.

Perception set is also a strong choice. It gives extra Accuracy and Speed, which helps her land stuns and debuffs more often, and take her turns faster. For players who want more reliability in her control and healing role, Perception is a safe and easy-to-build set.

Scyl of the Drakes Masteries

For masteries, a general PvE debuffer build focuses on Offense and Support trees. Warmaster helps her deal more damage in boss fights, while Pinpoint Accuracy, Charged Focus, and Swarm Smiter increase her chances to land debuffs like her AOE stun more reliably. This build works well in dungeons and Faction Wars, where her stuns and heals matter the most.

If you want her to focus more on healing, you can choose Lay On Hands, Healing Savior, and Merciful Aid in the Support tree. These boost her healing effects, especially on low-HP allies. This version is great for players using Scyl as their main team healer in tough PvE content.

In the Arena, her masteries should focus on survival and control. Delay Death, Harvest Despair, and Cycle of Revenge from the Defense tree help her stay alive and keep fighting. Timely Intervention and Lasting Gifts in the Support tree allow her to support the team when allies fall low. Spirit Haste adds even more speed as allies are defeated, helping her stay active in the fight.

Scyl of the Drakes Blessings

When it comes to blessings, Brimstone is a good choice if you want her to deal extra damage, especially in boss fights. It gives her a chance to place a Smite debuff, which can do big damage when the enemy uses active skills. This makes her more useful even in damage-heavy teams.

Life Harvest is helpful when facing revive-heavy teams in Arena. It destroys enemy max HP when they are revived and boosts Scyl’s turn meter. This makes her faster and reduces the enemies’ ability to stay alive, which is useful in longer fights.

Polymorph is more of a control blessing. It gives her a chance to turn enemies into sheep when they try to place debuffs on her or remove buffs from her. This is especially good in Arena, where controlling champions can swing a fight. Each blessing gives something different depending on your goal and team setup.

How to Get Scyl of the Drakes

Scyl of the Drakes is one of the most reliable Legendary champions available for free in Raid: Shadow Legends. New players can claim her by logging in daily for 180 days as part of the Daily Login Rewards.

Because she is guaranteed, many players plan their early game progress around building her as soon as possible. Her mix of healing, crowd control, and revives makes her useful even in late-game content, which is why she is often a top priority champion for new accounts.

Besides the 180-day login reward, Scyl can also be summoned from Ancient Shards. However, she cannot be summoned from Sacred or Void Shards, since she is a Magic affinity champion from the regular Ancient shard pool. While the chance is low, she’s still one of the best champions you can get early from a lucky pull.

Even though she’s free for new players, Scyl remains valuable for all stages of the game. Whether obtained through login rewards or shards, she’s worth investing in right away thanks to her ability to carry teams in nearly every type of content.
