Quintus the Triumphant isn’t just another flashy Arena reward; he’s one of the most strategically designed nukers in RAID: Shadow Legends. As a Void Affinity Legendary Attack champion from the Banner Lords, Quintus delivers a devastating mix of unresistable debuffs, skill resets on kill, and damage that scales directly with enemy buffs. He specializes in dismantling buff-heavy teams and becomes increasingly lethal the longer his enemies attempt to shield themselves.
However, Quintus demands precision in his build. Without any room for defensive scaling and minimal utility beyond raw damage output, his success hinges entirely on how well you gear, position, and execute rotations. Get it right, and he shines; falter even slightly, and he falters. This guide dissects every facet of his potential, offering in-depth skill analysis, mastery tree recommendations, artifact priorities, blessing choices, and synergy setups tailored for both PvE and PvP scenarios. New players might find our Beginner’s Guide to RAID: Shadow Legends helpful for a broader introduction.
Understanding Quintus’s Role
Before allocating resources to any champion, it’s crucial to grasp their role on the battlefield. Quintus is a pure-burst finisher—he lacks crowd control, healing, or ally buffs (though he does offer self-buffs). Instead, he focuses on eliminating high-priority targets swiftly and resetting combat power to chain through multiple fights when executed properly.
In PvP, he dominates defensive compositions by stripping buffs and bypassing most forms of mitigation. His Strip Away ability is one of the few skills in the game that can remove buffs, apply Decrease DEF, and deal significant damage without requiring Accuracy or being influenced by passive abilities. Meanwhile, in PvE, his AoE Crowd Favorite makes him an excellent wave clearer when paired with champions that ensure survivability and efficient turn cycling.
While not a jack-of-all-trades, Quintus shines when used with precision. When equipped with high Crit Damage, appropriate gear sets, and optimal mastery paths, he can shatter Stoneskin defenses, dismantle tanky compositions, and dominate wave-based PvE stages through kill-reset-kill loops.
He isn’t versatile, but he’s ruthlessly effective. Players who enjoy decisive, calculated aggression will find Quintus an invaluable asset. Let him strike second, and there may not be a third.
