The Scarecrow is the quirkiest support from the Echoes of Oz event in RAID: Shadow Legends. He revives allies, cheats death, shortens team cooldowns, and makes tough Accuracy and Resistance checks far easier to pass. This RAID Shadow Legends The Scarecrow guide covers his skills, the best builds, and the teams where he shines, plus the free route to get him this October.

RAID Shadow Legends The Scarecrow Overview and Base Stats

His base stats at 6 Stars lean toward HP and DEF, which helps since his main job is staying alive long enough to bring others back.

RAID Shadow Legends The Scarecrow Skills Explained

Crow Hunter (A1)

The Scarecrow hits one enemy twice. The first hit has a 50% chance to place a 50% Decrease RES debuff, and the second hit has a 50% chance to place a 50% Decrease ACC debuff, both for 2 turns. Once any ally, including The Scarecrow himself, has died during the battle, these debuffs can no longer be resisted. Fully booked, the chance for each debuff rises to 75%.

Smart Thinking (A2, Cooldown: 5 Turns)

This is the heart of his kit. It cuts the cooldown of every ally skill by 1 turn (except his own) and places 50% Increase ACC and 50% Increase RES on the whole team for 2 turns. Paired with his A1 debuffs, the math becomes very friendly. Against a boss with 500 RES, a team normally needs around 525 ACC to land debuffs. With Increase ACC on the team and Decrease RES on the boss, that drops to roughly 185 ACC. Books bring the cooldown down to 3 turns.

All Stitched Up (A3, Cooldown: 6 Turns)

Revives one fallen ally with 50% HP and 50% Turn Meter and gives them Block Damage for 2 turns, so they cannot be taken down again right away. It also places a 25% Fortify buff on all allies for 2 turns. Books bring the cooldown down to 4 turns.

True Brains (Passive, Cooldown: 4 Turns)

When The Scarecrow dies, he comes back with 50% HP and 50% Turn Meter, then removes all debuffs from every ally. After any ally has died once in the battle, he also becomes immune to Fear, True Fear, Provoke, and Petrification. Books bring the cooldown down to 3 turns.

Aura

Increases ally ACC by 60 in all battles, so it works in dungeons, Clan Boss, Doom Tower, and Arena alike.

Skill Book Priority

He needs 9 Legendary Skill Tomes to max out. Smart Thinking should get the first books, since dropping it from 5 turns to 3 means more cooldown cuts and much better buff uptime. All Stitched Up comes next, followed by True Brains. Crow Hunter can wait until the end.

RAID Shadow Legends The Scarecrow Build: Best Artifact Sets and Stats

A good RSL The Scarecrow build puts SPD first, since faster turns mean more Smart Thinking casts. ACC and RES come next, with HP filling the rest for survival. His own buffs cover part of the ACC and RES he needs, so his targets are lower than those of a typical support.

Best PvE Build for The Scarecrow

New players can start with Speed, Perception, or Regeneration. Speed and Perception cover the core stats, while Regeneration heals him every turn and keeps the team’s reviver standing. Later on, Protection and Relentless are the top picks. Protection brings strong stats and a chance to protect buffs, and Relentless grants extra turns to cycle Smart Thinking faster. Reflex and Feral are solid alternatives. Skip Mercurial for bosses, as its main effect does not work in boss fights.

Best PvP Build for The Scarecrow

In Arena, the goal is to survive long enough for his passive and A3 to matter. Mercurial is the best defensive set, especially at 9 pieces, with Stoneskin as a strong second option. Impulse and Protection work well on faster builds, while Speed and Perception are fine budget choices. RES matters much more in PvP, since faster enemies can still lock him down before his buffs land.

For substats, chase SPD above everything else, then ACC, RES, and HP%. On the chestplate and banner, pick whichever stat the rest of the team is missing.

RAID Shadow Legends The Scarecrow Masteries, Blessings, and Relics

The Support tree is a must. Lore of Steel boosts the stats from basic sets like Speed and Perception. Lasting Gifts gives a 30% chance to keep his buffs up for an extra turn, which helps cover the gap between Smart Thinking casts. Master Hexer does the same for his Decrease RES and Decrease ACC debuffs, and Cycle of Magic adds a small chance to cut a cooldown each turn.

For the second tree, Defense works best in both boss fights and PvP. Defiant, Improved Parry, Rejuvenation, and Delay Death all help him stay on his feet, which matters a lot for a champion whose job is bringing others back.

Brimstone is the best Blessing for PvE, especially in Chimera and Sand Devil, and only one champion on the team needs it. Cruelty is a good budget choice for boss content. For Relics, Golden Elixir and Volcardiac Heart work in both PvE and PvP, while Aspect of Siroth is a strong pick for Arena.

Best Teams for The Scarecrow in RAID Shadow Legends

Sand Devil Duo: The Scarecrow with Gnut or Ninja

This is where The Scarecrow truly stands out. Build him tanky enough to survive the Sand Devil’s regular attacks and let the boss’s huge team wide hit land. His passive brings him back, and All Stitched Up revives the damage dealer under Block Damage, giving them a safe window to burn the boss down. The game only lets him use All Stitched Up when an ally is down, so it stays ready for exactly this moment.

It is the same plan behind the classic Gorgorab duos, which is why heavy hitters like Gnut and Ninja fit so well. It also needs far less speed tuning than older Sand Devil teams. Test the duo on lower stages first, as the highest stage it can clear depends on gear and booked cooldowns.

Chimera RES Team: The Scarecrow with Dorothy Gale

Dorothy Gale places AoE Decrease ACC, and The Scarecrow adds Increase RES to the whole team. Together, they make it much easier to shrug off the boss’s debuffs without stacking huge RES on every champion. Smart Thinking also helps damage dealers fire their big skills more often, and his revive tools act as a safety net if a phase goes wrong.

Add a buff extender like Godseeker Aniri or Lady Mikage to keep his 2 turn buffs active between casts, then fill the last two slots with the strongest damage dealers on the account. Dorothy is free from the Dorothy Chase login event, so almost every player can build this core. Enrollment for the Dorothy Chase closes on November 5.

Echoes of Oz Team: Dorothy Gale, The Scarecrow, The Tin Woodman, and The Cowardly Lion

The full Oz squad brings real synergy, not just a shared theme. The Tin Woodman’s passive cuts incoming damage for allies and gives extra protection to every Oz champion, while his ally attack hits harder for each Oz champion that joins in. Dorothy’s Oz Unity bonuses unlock as more Oz allies are on the team, and every time The Scarecrow revives her, her passive fires her A3 for free to stun enemies and steal their buffs.

The Cowardly Lion rounds things out with True Fear and heavy damage. This team is a great fit for the Ozilda Event Dungeon, which stays open until November 10, as well as wave content and lower tier Arena. Use the last slot for a healer or a cleanser.

Best Game Modes for The Scarecrow in RAID Shadow Legends

• Sand Devil’s Necropolis: His best area by a wide margin, thanks to the double revive
• Chimera Clan Boss: ACC and RES support plus team cooldown cuts keep long fights steady
• Doom Tower: A top pick for the Frost Spider and solid for most other Doom Tower bosses
• Hydra Clan Boss: Great for teams that struggle to land debuffs
• Dragon and Ice Golem Dungeons: Reliable support with backup revives
• Faction Wars: A welcome Legendary support for the Undead Hordes crypt
• Arena: Better on offense than defense, where his revive can turn a lost fight around
