Alika is an epic force affinity champion from the barbarians faction in Raid Shadow Legends. Her A1 is one of the hardest hitting single target attacks you will find in Raid, making her excellent at nuking opponents. This can be paired nicely with her A2 ability that will ignore 50% of the targets defense, if the targets HP is higher than Alika’s. She is a good champion all round with applications in a number of different areas of the game. This champion guide will provide a generic setup for Alika which can be used in various settings, including dungeon raids, doom tower and the Arena.

Alika Late Game Build Guide
Alika is an Epic force affinity champion, but the limitations of her A3 did not allow her to gain popularity. The latest rebalance has made this champion more interesting for both mid game and late game. In this guide, we will consider a universal build that is suitable for mid game players. Late game build will be shown separately. In this case, Alika will be a DD with control elements. We will not focus on her accuracy and keep it at 230-300. This will allow us to control the waves in the dungeons, as well as most fast champions in the arena.
Skills
Her A1 is an attack on 1 target with a 50% chance to land an additional hit. Her A2 is also a single target hit, while she ignores 50% of the target’s defense if target MAX HP is higher than this Champion’s MAX. A1 and A2 have significant damage and high dps potential. Her A3 is an attack of all enemies that increases the cooldown of all enemy skills by 2 turns, instead of 1 as before. This essentially forces the enemies to use A1 since all other skills have a cooldown. Her passive revives her if Sikara is on the same team.
It is worth noting that the skills that increase the cooldowns of all enemy skills is one of the strongest Crowd Control skills, especially in Arena. It ignores stoneskin and the only reason we don’t see Alika widely used in PVP is due to affinity issues and possible weak hits vs Spirit champions at the highest tiers.
Masteries
Alika does not have useful skills for CB, so using her there is not the best idea. On other bosses in the dungeons, of course, the Warmaster will show himself perfectly, but an Arena DD would work better with other masteries.
We will take Helmsmasher (if Crit Damage is over 220%) or Flawless Execution as T6 masteries on Offense branch and other damage increasing masteries that will increase Alika’s dps and speed up the time for the waves to pass, though on the boss itself can’t help much. For the second branch it is better to take Support with increasing accuracy masteries plus Lore of Steel for extra stats.
Gear & Stats Build
Alika should deal damage and have enough Accuracy for PvE content. The best option would be Perception and Accuracy sets with an emphasis on offensive stats. We are interested in Crit Rate and Crit Damage, depending on what we lack, Accuracy, Speed and ATK.
Since Alika is an attack champion, she has low HP and DEF. Usually in such cases it is better to find a balance between attacking and defensive parameters so that the champion does not die on the waves from any sneeze of an enemy. But as far as we want to use Alika in the arena, it’s better to focus only on attacking and Accuracy and to use a reviver for PvE.
Recommended Main Stats
- Gloves – Crit Damage if you can get 100% Сrit rate in substats, if not – better take gloves with Crit rate main stat.
- Chest – ATK%.
- Boots – Speed.
- Ring – ATK.
- Amulet – Crit Damage.
- Banner – Accuracy/ATK.
Arena Team
Alika works well in Arena in a typical Speed team. Her Force affinity will make problem with Spirit affinity champions and fights in high rankings of the arena, since defense teams with Duchess Lilitu with Spirit affinity are a problem for her. However, in the current Gold V, she can work very well.
Speed teams are simple to setup. You overtake your opponent in Speed, optionally decrease their Turn Meter or Boost your teams, apply Decrease DEF and then nuke. Alika has one more plus compared to other damage dealers. After her AoE attack if opposing champions survive they will have skills on cooldown, which means they won’t be able to deal significant damage or revive.
Here is an example of a team:
- Morrigane for SPD aura and TM boost plus enemy TM decrease.
- Seeker for Increase ATK buff and TM boost.
- Madame Serris for AOE Decrease DEF and ATK debuffs.
- Alika for dps nuke
Dragon 20 Run
In the featured build, Alika has 2 tasks, the first is to deal damage to enemies on the waves, while the second task is to increase the cooldown of enemies’ skills, making them as tame as a sheep. Here is budget team an example on the 20th floor of the Dragon’s lair:
- Deacon Armstrong for AOE Decrease DEF and TM manipulation.
- Alika for dps and CC.
- Apothecary for TM boost, Increase Spd buff and heal.
- Djamarsa for revival and heal.
- Frozen Banshee for Poisons and quickly kill the boss.
Ice Golem 20 Team
Using Alika on Ice Golem 20 is not the best idea due to the fact that he has the Spirit affinity, but nevertheless, she show good result due to her high single target damage against Boss’s minions and AOE dps on waves.
Ice Golem is the most unpredictable boss due to how hard it Counterattacks after reaching certain HP thresholds. Without Decrease ATK, the end of the battle can come at any moment due to the high damage slap back. Be sure that you have a champion with Decrease ATK debuff and revive to make the runs safe. Here is an example of team for the 20th floor of an Ice Golem:
- Apothecary for TM boost, Increase SPD buff and heal.
- Alika for dps and CC.
- Stag Knight for AOE Decrease DEF plus ATK debuff and Decrease Speed debuff.
- Djamarsa for revival and heal.
- Occult Brawler for Poisons to quickly kill the boss.
Fire Knight 20 Strategy
Although Alika doesn’t have good multi-hit, only A1 has a 50% chance to hit 2 times, her benefits in the dungeon can outweigh the disadvantages. At the same time, it is important to have enough total hits in team to down the boss’s shield. Here is an example composition for Fire Knight 20:
- Apothecary for TM boost, Increase SPD buff and heal.
- Alika for dps and CC.
- Stag Knight for AOE Decrease DEF plus ATK debuff and Decrease Speed debuff.
- Djamarsa for revival and heal.
- Armiger to Decrease the turn meter and quickly kill the Boss with MAX HP skill.
Faction Wars
Alika performs well in Faction Wars, helping the team with both damage and increasing the cooldown of enemy skills. But still, due to the low HP and Def needs good supports. Here is an example of a team that made it to level 21:
- Suwai for AOE Decrease ATK also Decrease DEF and Weaken debuffs.
- Scyl of the Drakes for revive and healing.
- Alika for dps and CC.
- Warmaiden for AOE decrease DEF debuff.
- Soulbond Bowyer for dps and TM depletion.
Doom Tower
Alika can work well in Doom Tower too. Thanks to her control skill, we can protect ourselves from the active skills of enemies. As one control champion on a team, she might not be enough, but paired with someone else, they can ensure your team’s survival. This example of a team for 119th floor of Normal DT:
- Apothecary for SPD buff and healing.
- Alika for increasing the cooldowns of all enemy skills and dps.
- Elhain for dps.
- Warmaiden for AOE Decrease Def debuff.
- Djamarsa for revive, healing and boost ally tm.
