Quintus the Triumphant is far more than a visually impressive Arena reward—he stands as one of RAID: Shadow Legends' most precisely engineered nukers. Hailing from the Banner Lords as a Void Affinity Legendary Attack champion, Quintus wields a powerful mix of irresistible debuffs, skill cooldown resets upon defeating foes, and damage that intensifies based on the number of buffs his enemies possess. He excels at dismantling teams that rely heavily on buffs, growing increasingly deadly as opponents attempt to shield themselves.
However, Quintus demands a very specific build to perform. Lacking innate defensive scaling and offering little utility beyond raw damage, his effectiveness hinges entirely on your gear choices, team positioning, and skill rotation. This guide provides a complete breakdown of his capabilities, including in-depth skill evaluations, recommended mastery paths, key artifact stats, optimal blessing selections, and team synergies for both PvE and PvP content.

Understanding Quintus’s Role
Before committing resources to any champion, it's crucial to identify their primary combat role. Quintus is a dedicated finisher—he doesn't provide crowd control, healing, or direct ally buffs (outside of self-buffs). His strength lies in the targeted elimination of key threats and a reset mechanism that allows him to chain attacks together when conditions are met.
In player-versus-player battles, he counters defensive compositions by stripping enemy buffs and bypassing standard damage mitigation. His Strip Away ability is exceptional, capable of removing buffs, applying a Decrease DEF debuff, and dealing significant damage—all without requiring Accuracy checks or being hindered by certain passive skills. In player-versus-environment content, his area-of-effect skill, Crowd Favorite, makes him an exceptional wave clearer when supported by champions who provide durability and turn meter control.
He is not a jack-of-all-trades, but in the right hands, he ranks among the game's most effective fight-enders.
Quintus the Triumphant is a champion designed to decide battles in a single turn, not to endure prolonged engagements. His potential is fully realized through precise timing and execution. When equipped with high Critical Damage, synergistic artifact sets, and the right masteries, Quintus can penetrate Stoneskin protections, break apart resilient tank teams, and dominate multi-wave PvE stages by continuously eliminating enemies and resetting his skills.
While not versatile, he is brutally efficient. For players who appreciate ending fights with decisive, well-planned aggression, Quintus is an unparalleled weapon. Let him attack at the right moment, and he will often end the encounter.
