Quintus PvE & PvP Guide: Best Builds and Artifacts

Quintus the Triumphant isn’t just a flashy Arena reward—he is a meticulously designed damage dealer in RAID: Shadow Legends. As a Void Affinity Legendary Attack champion from the Banner Lords, Quintus combines unavoidable debuffs, skill cooldown resets on kills, and damage that increases based on enemy buffs. He excels at dismantling buff-heavy teams and becomes deadlier the more his opponents try to shield themselves.

However, Quintus is also a demanding champion to gear. With minimal defensive scaling and almost no utility beyond raw damage, his performance varies widely based on equipment, positioning, and skill rotation. This guide explores every aspect of his capabilities, including detailed skill breakdowns, mastery paths, artifact priorities, blessing selections, and team synergies for both PvE and PvP. New players may want to consult our Beginner’s Guide to RAID: Shadow Legends for a thorough introduction.

Understanding Quintus’s Role

Before dedicating resources to any champion, it’s important to grasp their battlefield role. Quintus is a pure burst finisher—he offers no crowd control, healing, or team buffs (aside from self-buffs). Instead, he provides lethal, precise elimination of high-priority targets and a reset mechanism that lets him chain attacks when conditions are right.

In PvP, he counters defensive setups by stripping buffs and bypassing most forms of damage mitigation. His Strip Away ability is notable for removing buffs, applying Decrease DEF, and dealing heavy damage without requiring Accuracy or being blocked by passives. In PvE, his AoE skill Crowd Favorite allows him to clear waves efficiently, especially when supported by champions who provide durability and turn cycling.

He isn’t a versatile pick, but used with precision, he stands as one of the most reliable finishers available.

Quintus the Triumphant is the type of champion who doesn’t need a prolonged battle—just one or two decisive turns. He performs best with accurate timing and precise execution. Equipped with high Crit Damage, appropriate gear sets, and optimized masteries, Quintus can break through Stoneskin, dismantle tanky lineups, and dominate wave-based PvE content through kill-reset cycles.

He may lack versatility, but he makes up for it with sheer ruthlessness. For players who prefer ending fights with controlled aggression, Quintus is an ultimate weapon. Let him take the second turn, and he will ensure a third isn’t needed.
