Does Richtoff the Bold Need Accuracy in RAID: Shadow Legends?

Yes, Richtoff the Bold absolutely needs accuracy to maximize his effectiveness in RAID: Shadow Legends. His kit revolves around applying a crucial Poison debuff, and without sufficient accuracy, this key ability will consistently fail against enemies with higher resistance. This significantly diminishes his value in almost all game modes, particularly the Clan Boss and dungeons where debuff application is essential for success. While other stats like speed, health, and defense are also crucial for his survivability and turn frequency, accuracy should be the primary focus when building Richtoff. Without it, his other strengths are effectively neutered.

Why is Accuracy So Critical for Richtoff?

Richtoff’s core function relies on his ability to apply Poison debuffs. These debuffs deal damage over time, significantly increasing his overall contribution, especially in prolonged fights such as against the Clan Boss. These poison debuffs need to be successfully applied. Accuracy is the stat that directly combats an enemy’s resistance. When an ability with a debuff is used, the game calculates a resistance check. If your accuracy stat is lower than the enemy’s resistance stat, the debuff will be resisted and will not be applied. Therefore, a higher accuracy score greatly increases the chance of successfully applying this critical poison debuff. Without sufficient accuracy, Richtoff will consistently fail to apply his signature debuff, rendering him much less effective.

Recommended Accuracy Level for Richtoff

The specific amount of accuracy needed depends on the content you are engaging with. However, a general rule of thumb is that your accuracy should always be higher than the enemies resistance.

• For Clan Boss: A good starting point is around 225 accuracy, allowing Richtoff to effectively apply his poison debuffs. As you progress to higher difficulty levels of Clan Boss, increasing your accuracy will become essential.
• Dungeon Runs: The required accuracy here depends on the dungeon level. A simple formula to use is Dungeon Level x 11 which can provide the minimum accuracy to aim for to avoid having debuffs being resisted.
• Hydra Clan Boss: This mode has very high resistance levels so accuracy will need to be much higher here, aiming for around 215 accuracy to successfully apply debuffs.
• Doom Tower: Accuracy needs to be high on this content and you need to aim for between 250 and 400 accuracy.

It is always best to err on the side of caution, as having a little extra accuracy is always better than having too little. This ensures that your debuffs land more reliably, making Richtoff a much more consistent and valuable champion.

Building Richtoff: Prioritizing Stats

While accuracy is paramount, it’s not the only stat that matters. Here’s a breakdown of how to prioritize stats for Richtoff:

1. Accuracy: This is the top priority. Ensure you reach the required accuracy for the content you are tackling.
2. Speed: Speed dictates how often Richtoff takes a turn and applies his poison debuffs. Aim for 220+ speed to get twice the number of turns that your enemies do.
3. Health: Richtoff needs to survive the initial attacks to get his turn. High health will increase his survivability.
4. Defense: Another important stat for survival as it reduces the amount of damage taken.
5. Critical Stats: Critical hit rate and critical damage are secondary stats for Richtoff. While they aren’t the highest priority, they will still help to increase overall damage output.

Best Gear for Richtoff

When gearing Richtoff, look for sets that complement his stat needs. The following sets are particularly useful:

• Accuracy Sets: These sets provide a straightforward boost to Richtoff’s accuracy and are perfect when accuracy is your priority.
• Speed Sets: These sets will allow Richtoff to take more turns during a fight, resulting in more damage over time.
• Perception Sets: These sets give a good combination of speed and accuracy, making them ideal for balancing his crucial stats.
• Immortal Sets: Providing both HP and accuracy, these are ideal for both survival and also applying his important debuffs.

Prioritize gear pieces with accuracy substats and speed substats, then health and defense substats. The aim is to optimize for accuracy first and then maximize the other areas with any remaining stats.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) about Richtoff and Accuracy

1. What exactly does accuracy do in RAID: Shadow Legends?

Accuracy is a stat that enhances your chances of successfully applying debuffs on enemies, ignoring their resistance to those debuffs. This includes debuffs like poison, decrease defense, weaken, and more.

2. How does the “increase accuracy” buff work?

An increase accuracy buff increases the accuracy of your allies by either 25% or 50%, depending on the skill level. This can help champions land debuffs more consistently.

3. Can resistance completely negate debuffs?

Yes, if an enemy’s **resistance** is higher than the attacker’s **accuracy**, the debuff has a chance to be entirely negated. The larger the difference between resistance and accuracy, the higher the chance the debuff will be resisted.

4. How does accuracy interact with turn meter manipulation?

Accuracy is also crucial for reducing enemy’s turn meter with abilities, like Coldheart’s Heartseeker. Without sufficient accuracy, these turn meter manipulations may be resisted.

5. Is there a way to calculate how much accuracy I need?

Yes, a general rule of thumb is **Dungeon Level x 11** can provide a solid guide to your minimum accuracy requirements in PVE content, and you will need to increase this for endgame content like Doom Tower. For clan boss you will want 225+ accuracy.

6. What is more valuable: Accuracy or resistance?

**Accuracy** is generally more valuable than resistance, as it is easier to obtain a higher accuracy stat than a higher resistance stat. Also, applying debuffs is significantly more valuable than resisting them, making accuracy the go-to stat for many players.

7. Besides accuracy, what other stats should Richtoff prioritize?

Besides accuracy, Richtoff should prioritize **speed, health and defense**. Speed helps him take more turns and apply his debuffs more frequently, whilst HP and Defense increase survivability.

8. Can I use Lifesteal gear on Richtoff?

Lifesteal gear can be beneficial on Richtoff, particularly on Clan Boss. However, having enough speed, accuracy and defensive stats are more important. Using leech debuff is another method of healing without needing to use Lifesteal gear.

9. What masteries should Richtoff use?

 You will want to build Richtoff with masteries that will increase his damage, such as **Warmaster**. Avoid masteries that increase turn meter, like **Rapid Response** and **Arcane Celerity**, as these can ruin the turn order of unkillable teams.

10. Is Kael a good alternative to Richtoff for poison debuffs?

Kael is a good starter champion and can apply poison debuffs effectively. However, Richtoff is generally a better option for clan boss because of his superior skillset.

11. Does the stage or difficulty level influence how much accuracy is needed?

Yes, the higher the difficulty or the stage, the more **resistance** the enemies have. Therefore, higher accuracy is required.

12. Can I use accuracy sets on other champions?

 Yes, **accuracy sets** are beneficial on champions whose abilities focus on applying debuffs. This includes champions that apply debuffs in the Clan Boss, Dungeons and also in Arena.

13. How does speed impact accuracy in Raid?

**Speed** is essential in conjunction with accuracy because the faster you take turns, the more often you will apply debuffs. This synergy is crucial for consistent and effective gameplay.

14. How important is accuracy in unkillable team compositions?

In an **unkillable team**, the focus is on the damage from the champions. Accuracy is still crucial as it ensures the debuffs land to deal the damage in a fight.

15. Is there a limit to how much accuracy I can stack on Richtoff?

While you can stack as much accuracy as you like, there are diminishing returns. Once you can consistently land debuffs, then it may be more beneficial to start focusing on other stats. It is important to check the levels of resistance of the content you are focusing on and make sure your accuracy is higher than this.

In conclusion, accuracy is a non-negotiable stat for Richtoff the Bold. Without it, he will fail to land his crucial poison debuffs, drastically reducing his usefulness in RAID: Shadow Legends. By prioritizing accuracy alongside speed, health and defense, you can unleash Richtoff’s full potential and dominate in various aspects of the game.
