RAID: Shadow Legends Update 10.55 – Siege Traps, Chimera Tweaks & QoL Enhancements

Update 10.55 breathes new life into core systems and quality-of-life features across RAID: Shadow Legends. From fortified Siege defenses to more balanced Chimera fights and smoother champion management, this patch reshapes gameplay dynamics in meaningful ways, making the popular RPG more fun than ever.
Join us as we take a closer look at everything new in the RAID: Shadow Legends 10.55 update.
Siege Mode Revamp: Deeper Tactics and Expanded Depth
The biggest headline is the overhaul to Siege. Clans can now upgrade all fortress structures to Level 6, adding extra defense teams and garrison slots. While this significantly boosts the amount of resource generation, like Florins and Mana Orbs, it also means higher repair and upgrade costs.
Building on that, the introduction of traps adds more tactical coordination to the mix. Traps deployed during the prep phase in fully-repaired Magic or Defense towers conceal champions or apply debilitating effects to enemies on the first turn. Setup now involves thoughtful coordination: clans must balance trap placements among the team, often using weaker squads first to absorb triggering while preserving elite units for higher floors.
Siege Mode just got a lot more interesting in this update.
Completing the Siege update are new progression tiers—Tiers 7 and 8—you’ll unlock them by consistently earning Siege points and winning with a minimum Attack Scroll usage. These tiers bring mythic rewards, crafting materials, and even exclusive avatar frames to showcase your clan’s dominance. Just be aware: falling short of requirements means relegation, raising the stakes in every season.
The Chimera Gets Overhauled
Update 10.55 delivers fine-tuning to Chimera encounters, lowering overall frustration. Ram Form’s reflect damage under Fear has been cut, and full immunity granted under True Fear. Its HP bar is halved for faster transitions, although its Accuracy has seen a slight boost to keep debuffing viable. Lion Form also receives focus, with elevated ATK, guaranteed AoE from Shred Reality, and a new second hit from Atomizing Roar that bypasses DEF. These tweaks together smooth the difficulty curve without compromising challenge, particularly in Trial modes.
While not necessarily easier, the Chimera is more fun to fight now with the RAID: Shadow Legends 10.55 update.
Champion Management & UI Enhancements for Everyday Play
Alongside gameplay adjustments, Update 10.55 also delivers several usability upgrades that simplify champion handling, especially in the Tavern, Vault, and Guardian systems. These quality-of-life improvements help free up account space, reduce manual grind, and streamline how you interact with your roster.
The Tavern is just one of the many systems that got QoL upgrades in the RAID: Shadow Legends 10.55 update.
Here’s a quick list of the most important changes:
- Vault Accessibility: Champions stored in the Vault can now be used directly for Instant Rank-Up, reducing the back-and-forth between menus and saving time during upgrade sessions.
- Commissioning Faction Guardians: You can now permanently lock in Guardian bonuses by sacrificing the champion, freeing up collection space while retaining stat gains.
- Stacked Resources in Tavern: Rank Chickens and Feasts are now stacked visually, cleaning up the interface and making the upgrade menu easier to navigate.
- Advanced Quest Refresh: Players can refresh certain Advanced Quests once daily, allowing better control over which missions they want to pursue.
- Gear Removal Booster: Completing the “Win 3 Artifacts/Accessories from Dungeons” quest now grants a 1-hour Free Gear Removal Booster—delivered to your inbox with a 24-hour expiration window.
Together, these changes show a clear focus on reducing friction in the day-to-day management of champions. Whether you’re optimizing your Guardian bonuses or simply trying to clean up your Tavern, this update ensures those interactions are faster, cleaner, and more player-friendly.
Champion Balance Highlights
Update 10.55 introduces balance adjustments across several key champions, impacting both PvE and PvP viability. Noteworthy updates hit characters like Diamant Coppercoin, Androc the Glorious (in both forms), and other utility-focused champions. Here are a few standout changes that could shake up your builds and compositions:
- Diamant Coppercoin: Skill 2 now fills all allies’ Turn Meters by 20%, and Skill 4 introduces a 50% chance to convert incoming debuffs into buffs before they land.
- Androc the Glorious (Base Form): Skill 1 gets a damage bump, Skill 3 now also boosts allies’ Turn Meter, and his passive now boosts resistance for the whole team instead of just himself.
- Androc the Glorious (Alternate Form): Palisade Breaker now reduces enemy Turn Meter by 15%, and Roar of Kitherus reworks its debuff-removal mechanic while scaling boss damage to 10% of max HP.
- Lionheart Passive (Alternate Form): Now applies to the whole team and improves Turn Meter control, but only one instance of the passive can activate per turn.
Diamant Coppercoin, along with others, has been adjusted for balance.
These adjustments are aimed at refining tactical options, making champions more efficient within modern team setups, and future meta shifts. If you’ve sidelined any of these units before, this might be the patch that brings them back into play, as this might be their time to rise in the RAID: Shadow Legends tier list.
RAID: Shadow Legends’ 10.55 update brings depth and refinement to multiple layers of gameplay. Siege strategies now reward thoughtful coordination through trap deployment and resource balancing. Chimera fights are smarter and more forgiving, and champion management is smoother and more efficient. Combined with improved drop rates and UI upgrades, this patch enhances the overall experience. However, we’ve only showcased the most important changes in this update. For more information, we suggest checking out the full 10.55 changelog in Plarium’s forums
