Dark Kael All-Rounder Build

Here is Dark Kael artifacts and masteries by Ayumilove optimized for Dragon Dungeon Speed Run build. This build is suitable for Faction Wars and Doom Tower too. Dark Kael is equipped with Regeneration Set to provide him a way to heal himself when he is soloing the boss while the rest of the allies are fallen. Speed Set grants him additional speed, so he can take multiple turns of an enemy single turn to quickly cycle through his skills and recover his health quickly. The stats prioritized for this build are HP%, Speed and Accuracy followed by Defense and Critical Rate. Accuracy is essential for him to inflict his Poison and Decrease Attack debuffs as well as increasing the debuff duration on the enemies. If you have decent artifacts to allow him to survive, then use Critical Rate gloves, so he could deal some damage through his skills. Otherwise, use HP% or Defense gloves for additional survivability.

Dark Kael Review

Dark Kael is an Epic Attack Magic champion from Dark Elves faction in Raid Shadow Legends. Dark Kael was released in Patch 4.50 on August 2021 as part of the Normal Doom Tower reward upon collecting all the fragments from the Secret Rooms. Dark Kael is the successor of Kael (starter champion) who could consistently apply higher quality Poison debuff along with other debuffs.

Weaver of Woes (A1 Skill) is Dark Kael’s default attack that has the ability to instantly activate existing Poison or HP Burn debuff on the enemies without having them to take a turn to receive damage from those debuff! This is particularly useful if you are able to build him above 200+ Speed to lap the enemies twice. Also, he is best syenergized with Counterattack or Ally Join Attack champion, so Dark Kael can perform more of his default attacks to activate those debuffs! In addition, you can pair Dark Kael with a dedicated Poison champion who can apply Poison debuff on their default attack such as Venus to deal more damage to the enemies, especially Clan Boss.

Binding Darkness (A2 Skill) is Dark Kael’s AoE Attack that hits all enemies in the battlefield while applying Decrease Attack debuff on enemies to lower their damage output. It also increases the debuff duration on them too, which synergizes well with other debuffer champions on your team! If you have Zavia and Taurus, you can pair them with Dark Kael to extend Poison debuff duration to improve the damage dealt by AoE Poison Detonation from Zavia. This strategy is great for Ice Golem, Spider and Dragon Dungeon Speed Runs!

Reality Acid (A3 Skill) is Dark Kael’s signature Poison skill that applies Poison and Poison Sensitivty debuff. Poison Sensitivity amplifies the damage of Poison debuff dealt to the enemies, which makes it much easier to takedown tanky and high health champions, especially bosses found in Dungeons, Faction Wars and Doom Tower. The limitation of this skill is it only applies to a single-target enemy rather than all enemies in the battlefield, which limits his usability to a boss damage dealer.

Delerium is Dark Kael’s unique passvie skill that prevents the enemy from performing Critical Hit on your allies whenever they have 2 or more debuff on them. This makes it useful against PvE contents as most enemies have a base Critical Rate of 15%. This is great for Clan Boss as it prevents the sudden spike of damage from his Critical Hit that could instantly wipe out a majority of your champions, bringing the battle to an abrupt end.

Overall, Dark Kael is a decent Epic champion who can help you in dealing high amount of Poison damage in a short period of time if you do not have a dedicated Poison champion in your team. He is a good replacement for Frozen Banshee if you are still using her in your Clan Boss team setup or Dragon Dungeon Speed Run team, as he deals a fairly consistent Poison damage all the time with better survivability with the aid of his passive skill!

Dark Kael Champion Lore

A single moment, a hesitation, a choice. These things can alter the known course of events, sometimes for the better and sometimes for the worse. The path not taken is often a source of regret… or of relief, for even the most incurious of beings cannot help but ask… what if? What if Kael had not met Elhain, and found something different in the caverns of Aravia after Queen Eva’s first Conclave?

When Kael descended into the caverns beneath the capital city of Aravia, he wondered if he had made the correct choice in doing so. The caverns felt wrong, as if the very rockface seeped dark magic. But he mustered his resolve and continued his exploration as, above him, the renewed peace talks between the High Elves and Dark Elves continued.

The network of tunnels and caves were ancient, as old as Teleria itself. Kael suspected that the magic he felt heralded some forgotten trove of mystical lore, and he was determined to find it. But the deeper he went, the stronger the pull of dark magic grew.

More than once, Kael thought he heard his own voice echoing out of the gloom. At times, he thought he even glimpsed himself… his reflection, perhaps, cast in the dull crystalline growths that encrusted the deep caverns. Or maybe it was his mind playing tricks on him. Regardless, his other selves seemed to be leading him in one particular direction, toward the strongest concentration of dark magic.

Soon, he found himself standing in a vaulted cavern, and staring at an unexpected sight: a staff of sinister design, floating within a murky crystal. It resembled his own after a fashion, but was far more ornate, and it fairly thrummed with power. He realized that he’d read of such an item before, in one of the ancient texts he’d studied so assiduously. It was called the Black Rod, and was an artifact created from pure shadow magic.

Something about it called to him. A whisper in his mind promised him knowledge and power in equal measure. It told him that if he was brave enough to claim it, all his dreams would come true.

Yet Kael hesitated on the cusp of claiming the Rod. For an instant, he thought he saw his future stretching out before him. What if he took it, and the power he sensed within it overcame him? He saw himself, garbed in fine robes and wielding the staff; his power increased beyond his wildest imaginings. He returned to his people and used his newfound might to break the grip of the noble families, free the serfs, and assume control of the Dark Elves. He made peace with the High Elves. But there was a cost to it all.

He returned to his people and used his newfound might to break the grip of the noble families, free the serfs, and assume control of the Dark Elves. He made peace with the High Elves. But there was a cost to it all.

The whispers of the Black Rod never ceased. Indeed, they only grew in strength as time passed. The fell magic contained within the artifact demanded a release, and it sought to twist its bearer’s motives into something base and self-serving, the better to secure that release. The more he wielded the Rod, the more of a hold it would have on him.

Soon, it would be impossible to tell where the mind of the Black Rod ended and that of its wielder began. Kael would no longer be the mage he had been. Instead, he would be a locus of dark sorcery, twisting the world around him to suit his darkest desires. Or perhaps his spirit would prove equal to the test. Perhaps he would break the Rod to his will, and become the mage his people deserved. Only time would tell.
