Gnut Fusion Guide - Raid Shadow Legends (2024)

Welcome to the Gnut Fusion Guide, a brand new Legendary Champion from the Dwarves Faction, who has just featured in Call of the Arbiter.

In this guide, we will provide you with all the information necessary to complete the Fusion Event and get your hands on a brand-new Champion.

Make sure to check back daily for our Gnut Fusion Guide daily updates!

Gnut is a Traditional Fusion, rather than a Fragment Collector Event – this means instead of collecting Fragments to Fuse Gnut, we will be collecting 16 Rare Champions, in order to fuse 4 Epic Champions – Once these have been collected and ranked up to Rank 5 – Level 50, you can fuse your copy of Gnut.

These Champions will be collected by completing Fusion Events and Tournaments, they’ll be rewarded for specific Point Milestones, with no benefit for finishing higher in your Tournament Brackets, unlike Fragment Collectors.

Rares will need to be levelled to Rank 4 – Level 40, fully ascended, and Epics will need to be Rank 5 – Level 50, fully ascended.

One of the key differences between Traditional and Fragment Collectors is the time limit, you will NEED to Fuse Gnut before the timer runs out, or else you’ll be unable to collect him, whereas with Fragment Collectors you can wait on collecting until a future Champion Chase Tournament or Clan vs Clan Tournament.

With Champion Levelling and Ascending playing a key role in these Fusions, here is a breakdown of what you will need.

The Champions involved in the fusion are:

• 3x Ambassador Lethelin
• 1x Weregren Suncursed
• 12x Loneblade Riab
• 4x Treeshield Knott

To Rank these to the required level you will need:

• 48x Rank 3 Chickens
• 16x Rank 4 Chickens

To Ascend these Champions you will need:

Gnut is an excellent choice for tackling the most challenging encounters in Raid. He excels against foes like the Fire Knight, Clan Boss, and the Hydra!

His first ability, Dwarven Might [A1], allows him to strike a target enemy three times, reducing their Turn Meter by 15% with each hit. However, when facing enemies immune to Turn Meter reduction, Gnut inflicts Freeze Debuffs instead. The value of this skill extends beyond just the Fire Knight, as it proves invaluable in areas like The Dark Fae or Spider’s Den, where controlling the Turn Meter is crucial in Hard mode. In that sense, he can be considered a legendary version of Alure.

Gnut also possesses skills that provide AoE Decrease Attack and Weaken effects, along with a self-buff for counter-attacking. His passive ability increases the damage dealt during counter-attacks from 75% to 100%. This combination allows him to mitigate the damage inflicted by enemies and amplify the damage dealt by his team.

Lastly, Gnut’s third ability strikes three times, with each hit reducing the target’s Defense by 3% (stacking up to 30%). Additionally, each hit heals Gnut by 30% of the damage dealt. This skill synergizes exceptionally well, as its damage scales with Gnut’s defense and the target’s maximum HP, making it a deadly and optimized attack option.

Dwarven Might

Attacks 1 enemy 3 times.
Each hit has an 80% chance of decreasing the target’s Turn Meter by 15%. If the target’s Turn Meter is not decreased, each hit has an 80% chance of placing a [Freeze] debuff on the target for 1 turn instead.

• Level 2 – Damage +10%
• Level 3 – Damage +10%
• Level 4 – Buff/Debuff Chance +10%
• Level 5 – Buff/Debuff Chance +10%

Fury of the King – Cooldown: 4 Turns

Attacks all enemies.
Has a 75% chance of placing a 50% [Decrease ATK] debuff and a 25% [Weaken] debuff on all enemies for 2 turns.
Also places a [Counterattack] buff on this Champion for 2 turns.

• Level 2 – Damage +10%
• Level 3 – Damage +10%
• Level 4 – Buff/Debuff chance +10%
• Level 5 – Buff/Debuff chance +15%
• Level 6 – Cooldown -1

Blessed Bash – Cooldown: 5 Turns

Attacks 1 enemy 3 times. Each hit decreases the target’s DEF by 3% (Stacks up to 30%).
Each hit also heals this Champion by 30% of the damage dealt.

• Level 2 – Damage +10%
• Level 3 – Damage +10%
• Level 4 – Cooldown -1

No Holding Back [Passive]

When counterattacking, deals 100% of damage instead of 75%.

Aura

Increases Ally ACC in Dungeons by 80.

We always recommend going for every Fusion if you have the resources to do so.

However, Gnut is one you do NOT want to miss, he is arguably a God-Tier Champion, and his kit makes him so versatile whether you bring him as a Turn Meter Controller, a Decrease ATK Champion, or just care for his TRIPLE-hitting MAX HP Attack, that will allow you to bypass the 10% Cap mechanic in most end-game content, raising the bar up to 30% MAX HP due to the individual hits – This skill will be incredibly valuable in Doom Tower, Hydra and Dungeons!

As part of the Gnut Fusion, we will also have two Summon Events in the Fusion Schedule, one of which will be a Champion Chase Tournament, whilst the other will be a Summon Rush Event.

• On Friday, July 7th – 10x Ally Protector Event
• On Friday, July 14th – Predicted 2x Sacred Event

To reduce the amount of time spent in Dungeon Tournaments, Plarium has started activating Super Raids for Fusion Events and this will be the case in the Gnut Fusion also, with the corresponding Super Raids lining up with their adjoining dungeon in the Fusion Calendar.

• From 11:00 UTC, Monday, July 3 to 11:00 UTC, Thursday, July 6 in Spider’s Den.
• From 11:00 UTC Thursday, July 6 to 11:00 UTC, Sunday, July 9 in Dragon’s Lair.
• From 11:00 UTC Monday, July 10 to 11:00 UTC, Thursday, July 13 in Ice Golem’s Peak.
• From 11:00 UTC Thursday, July 13 to 11:00 UTC, Sunday, July 16 in Fire Knight’s Castle.

As this contains a Summon Rush Event, you will need to plan ahead to determine if you can achieve this. We don’t know the exact point requirements for the summon rush so far but you will need to be prepared. Use our summon rush calculator below to see how many points you can currently earn.

• Champion Training Event – 7150 Points – 1x Loneblade Riab

With all of these events, it is highly advisable to hold off till tomorrow for Clan vs Clan to get the most of your points, whilst also helping out your clan!

These are a perfect set of events to double dip, whether you’re spending your energy in Spider or Campaign doing the Training Event you’ll be working towards the Dungeon Divers Event passively, whilst also collecting Silver for the Artifact Enhancement Event.

It’s time to level up those Champions of yours, and perhaps prepare some of the necessary food requirements for the Fusion Champions, to get the most out of your resources whilst also completing this event!

HellHades has some useful tips on maximising the return on champion training. Read more about these strategieshere.

As for the Spider Tournament, 2250 Points will require around 140 runs of stage 20 based on the worst possible drops, of all 5* rare gear, of course, this figure can be significantly lower based on your drop rates. This will take ~2250 energy – Of course, this may be altered even further by running Hard Mode Spider, as the Mythical Artifact Drops will give you further increased points!

And finally, the Artifact Enhancement, to get this event’s copy of Loneblade Riab, you’ll require 4775 points in the artifact enhancement event – there are some great methods for doing this easily, to save as much silver as possible.

1. If you pre-rolled your gear to level 7/11/15 before the event, you can go ahead and burn through your silver taking these up by 1 level each to gain quick easy points.

2. The other really good option for these events is doing a good old gear clear-out, rolling things that you might want to keep up to see how the stats play out, and selling things that you won’t want to keep, a great guide for this is Hellhades’ Detailed Gear Cleanse Video.

New Events:

• Dungeon Divers Event – 3150 Points – 1x Loneblade Riab

This Event fits perfectly with Clan vs Clan and yesterday’s events, double-dip these as much as possible, and make the most of your resources whilst also completing the Dungeon Divers Event!

There’s not much more to say on this one – just get grinding!

New Events:

• Classic Arena Takedown – 390 Points – 1x Loneblade Riab
• Dragon Tournament – 2250 Points – 1x Loneblade Riab

To reach 2250 Points in the Dragon Tournament, you’ll generally need about 140 runs of stage 20, assuming the worst drops of 5* rare gear.

However, keep in mind that your personal drop rates may significantly decrease this number. It will require around 2250 energy.

Running Hard Mode Dragon may further affect these figures due to the bonus points from Mythical Artifact Drops.

In the Arena Takedown Tournament, make sure to utilize all of your daily battles. Monitor your points closely and consider using 1 or 2 gem refills if necessary to reach your target points, depending on your arena tier and win rate. Prioritize winning fights and avoid using tokens on uncertain battles.

After these Events, we will have 6 out of 12 required Loneblade Riabs!

New Events:

• Artifact Enhancement Event – 4775 Points – 1x Loneblade Riab
• Summon Rush Event – 2150/5400 Points – 1x Treeshield Knott& 1xAmbassador Lethelin

Next up, it’s time to open your shards for the 10x Ally Protectors Event!

You can either opt to go for JUST the Rare in this Summon Rush Event, or continue and earn enough points for a copy of Ambassador Lethelin which will mean you can pick 4 upcoming events to skip that feature Loneblade Riab

Be sure to refer to our Summon Rush Calculator above to see where you stand for points!

New Events:

• Dungeon Divers Event – 3150 Points – 1x Loneblade Riab

This Dungeon Divers Event will line up with several events, either the currently active Dragon Tournament – which you can double-dip if you’re missing some Dragon runs still, or tomorrow’s Champion Training Tournament, or Monday’s Ice Golem Tournament – If you’re carefully using your energy during these Events and waiting for new ones to start before farming, you should have no issues in clearing the 3150 Point requirement of this without extra investment.

New Events:

• Champion Training Tournament – 5150 Points – 1x Treeshield Knott

The Champion Training Tournament follows the typical point system for Fusions, where 5150 points are required to obtain the rare Champion.

To maximize your points, it is important to level up your chickens before using them as food. You can easily achieve this by adding some brews to the 4*/5* chickens before feeding them. This simple step will greatly assist you in achieving the necessary points to successfully complete the tournament.

This is a great opportunity to begin levelling the Fusion Champions you’ve acquired so far, to gain points whilst doing a necessary act in order to complete the fusion.

To get your hands on the rare from Ice Golem, it will take you around 140 runs of stage 20 based on the worst possible drops, of all 5* rare gear, of course, this figure can vary based on your drop rates and higher stages that you decide to farm. This will take ~2250 energy.

This is one of (if not the) highest point requirements we’ve seen for a Champion Chase Tournament, so best of luck – you’re in the clear after this event!
