Vergis Reference

Arena, Doom Tower, Faction Wars

Below is a reference of the artifacts equipped on Vergis specialized for Doom Tower Hard against Borgoth the Scarab King. This setup can also be used in Arena and Faction Wars too. Vergis is equipped with Destroy Set to enable him to destroy the Scarab King’s shield that mitigates a portion of the damage received. Destroy Set is also excellent against champions who have a high amount of HP (Health aka Hit Points) and fast HP recovery. The equipment prioritizes high HP%, DEF%, C.RATE, RESIST and SPD stats. HP% stat allows Vergis to generate a large shield to protect himself whenever he is under attack. DEF% stat allows Vergis to increase his overall damage output and decreases the damage intake from enemy attacks. RESIST stat provides Vergis protection against any debuff placed by the enemies and also prevents them from performing instant negative effect on him such as stealing his buffs. C.RATE stat enables Vergis to deal higher amount of damage to clear the waves and boss quickly!

Vergis Review

Raid Shadow Legends – Vergis is an Epic Spirit Defense champion from the High Elves faction where he can be obtained from Ancient Shards and Sacred Shards.

Vergis Purpose

• Vergis excels as a tank in protecting allies in battle. He has a skill called “Aegis”, which applies Ally Protection buff to all allies to mitigate a portion of the damage from them to himself. It also buffs the targeted ally (the champion in the Leader Position) with Continuous Heal and Increase Speed buff.
• Vergis is able to tank/absorb high amount of damage with the help of his passive skill called “Second Wind”. This allows him to replenish his shield whenever he loses a portion of his HP. It also instantly applies a Continuous Heal buff on himself whenever his HP drops below 50%.
• He excels against multi-hit attacking Champions but terrible against Champion who deals large burst of damage as it does not activate the shield multiple time. Therefore, he is not well suited as defender against Speed Nuke Team in Arena or enemy’s attack that can bypass shield.
• He can play the role as Tank Bait in Spider’s Den (Force Affinity Dungeon to provoke Spiderling) as his shield can mitigate the damage from Spiderling’s attack. To counter Spiderling’s Poison debuff, equip him with gear that has high Resist stat.
• Vergis is an excellent solution for Doom Tower Scarab King as his passive skill auto applies Shield buff whenever he takes damage. This essentialy prevents triggering the Scrarab King counter attack passive skill. You can run 2 Vergis to support one another with Continuous Heal buff and gear both of them with Destroy Set to break Scarab King shield quickly. It’s advisable to have them with decent amount of Resist stat to prevent buff being stolen and provoked by the boss.

Vergis Synergy

• Vergis pairs well with tanky champions (e.g. Miscreated Monster) to 3-Star Normal-Hard-Brutal-Nightmare Campaign stages as both of them can wear down the enemy with their massive Defense, HP and High Recovery speed.
• Vergis pairs well with Crowd Control champion (e.g. Alure) to tackle Normal-Hard-Brutal-Nightmare Campaign Bosses.
• In addition, he is excellent in Fire Knight Dungeon, Minotaur’s Labyrinth and Clan Boss Speed Team Setup where he protects the champion in the Leader Position who is critical to the team (e.g. Champion Reviver such as Arbiter or a Team Buffer such as Apothecary).

Vergis Limitation

• If Vergis HP drops below 50% and his Continuous Heal does not heal him above 50%, his passive skill “Second Wind” will not be able to activate again! This can happen if multiple enemy target him to quickly reduce his HP before the Continuous Heal replenishes his HP above 50%.
• To mitigate this limitation, I highly recommend using Lifesteal Set on him. I have experimented various sets such as Regeneration Set and Immortal Set, but they do not outperform Lifesteal Set in replenishing HP in the heat of battle (e.g. 2 champions solo Nightmare Campaign).
• Vergis’s shield does not auto-recover when he receives damage from protecting his allies with Ally Protection buff! Hence, if you are using him for Borgoth the Scarab King in Doom Tower either Easy or Hard mode, it’s advisable to only have 2 Vergis to defeat the boss. However, you can use high damage output champions such as Seer to clear the 1st and 2nd wave quickly for the Scarab King mob waves, which primarily consists of Krisks that provides a large amount of Shield, Continuous Heal and Ally Protection. The champion helpers would need to be sufficiently squishy to die quickly from Scarab King’s counterattack or else it will steal Vergis’s allies buffs.
• If you have a duplicate champion of Vergis, you can team 2 of them (without any other champions to fill the remaining 3 vacant champion slots) to defeat the Doom Tower Boss Borgoth the Scarab King on full auto! This is the only champion who can do it easily without needing to set up a team of 5 champions with the speed tuning, ensuring they have shield all the time and decreasing the turn meter of the boss to prevent him from stealing your champion buffs and counter-attacking those who do not have shield buff.

Vergis Champion Lore

Vergis’ life is one of service, a path he follows no matter the dark places it leads him. A ruthless commander of the Aravian armies currently fighting against the Kingdom of Kaerok, he has built his identity around service to the Aravian crown, and has cast aside anything that he considers to be a distraction to his duties.

Vergis’ original name was Aelmar and he was born to a noble High Elf family with connections through the Aravian court. His father was a senior officer in the Aravian army, while his mother had been childhood friends with Queen Eva herself.

High station brought benefits to Aelmar in his early years, but it could not shield his family from ill fortune. His father was killed during a skirmish with Dark Elves near the borders of Durham Forest. Soon after his mother contracted festerlung, the disease leaving her weak and bedridden. With Aelmar not quite yet of age and the family’s finances rapidly dwindling, Aelmar’s mother appealed in desperation to Queen Eva.

Eva responded by having royal doctors attend her and using her personal wealth to pay the family’s servants and annul the taxes normally due to the crown, ensuring that mother and son would want for nothing. Aelmar was given a junior rank in the Aravian officer corps. Though his mother could not be fully cured, the queen’s charity ensured she lived out her last years in as much comfort as possible, knowing her son now had a powerful benefactor.

Aelmar never forgot Eva’s kindness, and as he progressed through the ranks, he became ever-more dedicated in his service to the crown. The queen watched his progress closely, a fact that was not lost on the young Elven warrior. As Aravia became more militarized on her order, he was given a senior command, and when war with Kaerok and the other Humans of Anhelt came, Aelmar did not hesitate for a second in following the queen’s orders, and would not brook any discussion about the dangers of the conflict.

The war did not go as the Aravians planned. As it became a brutal, protracted struggle, rumors began to spread of a disaster back home. Some even claimed that the queen had been corrupted, or killed.

Aelmar flew into a rage at such accounts, informing his subordinates that anyone caught spreading falsehoods would be executed for treason. It was not enough to stop the stories, however. Aelmar became obsessed with countering them, and took the name ‘Vergis’ – a twisting of an Aravian dialect word for ‘truth’ – as he clung with increasing fanaticism to his loyalty to Eva.

Vergis would likely have returned to Aravia to disprove the lies spread about the queen, but the war in Kaerok has gone from bad to worse. Vergis now leads the battle-hardened survivors of his many campaigns in an increasingly futile effort to subject Kaerok to Aravian rule, having proven his worth as a warrior many times over. At the Battle of Kellmarsh, he ran through a dozen Kaerok knights, one after another, with his piercing glaive. The defensive aegis provided by his gold and black plate armor and shield aided him anchor the center of a battle line against the fiercest of offensives. His zeal for serving his queen is such that he rarely tires in combat, ignoring wounds that might incapacitate others even as he calls upon his allies to fight harder and scorn the blows of the enemy. Despite the odds against him, some High Elves believe he may yet turn the tide in Kaerok, and win a victory for his beloved queen.
