Affinity is one of the main characteristics that influence Champion's Skills and damage output in a battle.
Every Champion in RAID: Shadow Legends has one of four Affinities, each associated with a color. Magic is blue, Spirit is green, Force is red, and Void is purple.
Each Affinity is stronger or weaker when used against the other ones:
- Force is stronger than Magic
- Magic is stronger than Spirit
- Spirit is stronger than Force
- Void is neutral and isn't impacted by the advantages or disadvantages of the other Affinities

How does it work in a battle?
If the attacker has an Affinity Advantage:
- A 30% chance of a Skill landing as a Strong hit
- An extra 15% chance of a Skill landing as a Critical Hit
If the attacker has an Affinity disadvantage:
- Damage is reduced by 20%
- A 35% chance of getting a Weak Hit
- A chance of a Skill landing as a Critical Hit is reduced by 15%
What are Hit types?
- Weak Hit
It decreases the damage by 30% (including all bonuses) and does not activate certain effects. For example, Shield. Exceptions - Damage and Heal.
- Normal Hit
The damage a Champion deals is just the basic output of the Skill. This type of Hit offers no advantages or disadvantages.
- Strong Hit
It deals an extra 30% damage.
- Critical Hit
It deals an extra load of damage equal to the Crit Damage stat.
If a skill does, for example, 100 damage by default and you have 200% Crit Damage, you’ll deal 300 damage on critical hits.
