What is a Clan Boss Calculator?
A clan boss calculator is an essential tool for players of Raid: Shadow Legends who want to maximize their damage against the Demon Lord Clan Boss. It simulates the turn order of your team of five champions against the boss based on their “Speed” stat. The primary goal is to create a “speed tune,” which is a specific set of speeds for your champions that ensures their abilities are used in the perfect sequence for the entire fight. This allows for consistent application of critical buffs like Block Damage or Unkillable, and debuffs like Decrease Attack and Weaken. Without a proper speed tune, the turn order can quickly become chaotic, leading to early losses and significantly less damage.
This calculator helps you predict how your team will perform before you spend millions of silver re-gearing your champions. You can test different speed combinations, see how speed auras and masteries affect the run, and ensure your team remains synchronized for all 50 turns.

Clan Boss Formula and Explanation
The turn order in Raid: Shadow Legends is determined by a simple principle: the character (or boss) with the highest Turn Meter takes the next turn. Each character’s Turn Meter increases in tiny increments, or “ticks,” and the amount it increases per tick is directly proportional to their Speed stat.
The underlying formula for Turn Meter increase per tick is approximately:
Turn Meter Increase ≈ 0.07 × Speed
Our clan boss calculator runs a simulation using this principle. It tracks the Turn Meter of the Clan Boss and all five of your champions simultaneously. When a character’s Turn Meter reaches 100%, they take their turn, their Turn Meter resets to zero, and the process continues. This simulation allows us to accurately map out the turn order for many rounds.
| Variable | Meaning | Unit | Typical Range |
|---|---|---|---|
| True Speed | The final speed of a champion after all bonuses (gear, auras, masteries) are applied. | Speed | 100 – 350+ |
| Turn Meter | The ‘progress bar’ to a champion’s next turn. | Percentage (%) | 0 – 100% |
| Turn Ratio | The number of turns a champion takes for every one turn the Clan Boss takes (e.g., 1:1, 2:1, 4:3). | Ratio | Unitless |
| Aura | A percentage-based speed boost that applies to the entire team. | Percentage (%) | 19% – 33% |
Practical Examples
Example 1: Basic 1:1 Nightmare Tune
A “1:1 tune” means every champion on your team takes one turn for every one turn the Clan Boss takes. This is the foundation of most speed tunes.
- Inputs:
- Clan Boss: Nightmare (170 Speed)
- Champion 1 (Tank): 178 Speed
- Champion 2 (DPS): 177 Speed
- Champion 3 (Support): 175 Speed
- Champion 4 (Debuffer): 173 Speed
- Champion 5 (Stun Target/Cleanser): 171 Speed
- Result: All champions will consistently act once between each of the Clan Boss’s turns. The turn order will remain stable throughout the fight.
Example 2: A 2:1 Ultra-Nightmare “Unkillable” Tune
A “2:1 tune” is a more advanced setup where your champions are so fast they take two turns for every one Clan Boss turn. This often requires specific champions like Maneater or Roshcard the Tower. Our {related_keywords} guide covers this in depth.
- Inputs:
- Clan Boss: Ultra-Nightmare (190 Speed)
- Champion 1 (Maneater 1): 255 Speed
- Champion 2 (Maneater 2): 241 Speed
- Champion 3 (DPS): 239 Speed
- Champion 4 (DPS): 220 Speed
- Champion 5 (Pain Keeper): 218 Speed
- Result: The team will take two turns for every boss turn, allowing for 100% uptime on the Unkillable buff, making the team immune to damage for 50 turns.
How to Use This Clan Boss Calculator
Using our calculator is a straightforward process:
- Select Clan Boss Difficulty: Start by choosing the correct difficulty (e.g., Ultra-Nightmare) from the dropdown. This automatically sets the boss’s speed.
- Enter Champion Speeds: Input the “True Speed” of each of your five champions. True Speed is the final speed value you see in-game after all gear, Glyphs, and Area Bonuses are applied.
- Run the Simulation: Click the “Calculate Turn Order” button.
- Interpret the Results:
- Turn Order Table: This table shows you the precise sequence of turns. Check it to ensure your cleanser goes after the stun, or your block debuff champion goes before the AOE attacks.
- Progression Chart: The chart provides a visual representation of the speed tune. Stable tunes will show a repeating, predictable pattern. Unstable tunes will look chaotic. For more details on analysis, see our {related_keywords} page.
Key Factors That Affect Clan Boss Speed
Several factors beyond basic gear stats can alter your speed tune. Ignoring these is a common reason why a clan boss calculator tune fails in-game.
- Speed Sets: Each full Speed set provides a 12% bonus based on a champion’s base speed, not their total speed. This “hidden” speed is crucial.
- Lore of Steel Mastery: This T6 mastery from the Support tree increases the bonus from basic Artifact Sets (like Speed sets) by 15%.
- Speed Auras: Auras from a leader champion increase the speed of everyone on the team, again based on their base speed.
- Turn Meter Boosting Masteries: Masteries like Cycle of Magic or Rapid Response can grant random turn meter, which will instantly break most precise speed tunes. Avoid them for Clan Boss teams.
- Turn Meter Boosting Abilities: Champions like Seeker or Deacon Armstrong use abilities that boost the team’s turn meter, which must be factored into the tune.
- Speed Buffs/Debuffs: An Increase Speed or Decrease Speed buff/debuff will change a champion’s effective speed by 30%, altering the entire turn order unless planned for. Read our article on {related_keywords} for more on this topic.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
1. Why does my in-game tune fail even if it works in the calculator?
This is almost always due to unaccounted factors. Double-check for masteries that boost turn meter (like Rapid Response), gear sets that grant turn meter (like Relentless or Reflex), or incorrect “True Speed” values. Even a single point of speed difference can matter.
2. What is “True Speed”?
True Speed is the final speed value of your champion after all bonuses are calculated, including percentage-based bonuses from auras and certain gear sets. This calculator requires the final in-game value to be accurate.
3. Can I use a champion with a turn meter boosting skill?
Yes, but it makes the tune much more complex. The calculator here simulates raw speed. For tunes involving turn meter boosts, you need a specialized calculator like the one found at {internal_links}.
4. How do I handle the Stun attack?
You need a “stun target” – a champion who will always take the stun. This is usually done by managing HP, buffs, and the leader position. Your cleanser or block-debuff champion must then be tuned to go directly after the stun hit lands.
5. What’s the difference between a 1:1, 4:3, and 2:1 tune?
It’s the ratio of your champion’s turns to the Clan Boss’s turns. 1:1 is one turn each. 4:3 means your champion takes 4 turns in the same time the boss takes 3. 2:1 means your champion is twice as fast as the boss. Each ratio is used for different strategies.
6. Does the “Lore of Steel” mastery matter?
Yes, significantly! It adds to the bonus from Speed sets, giving you extra “hidden” speed that can make or break a tune.
7. Why are my champions not going in the order of their speed values?
The Clan Boss takes a turn, which gives all champions a turn meter boost. This can cause a champion who is slightly slower to jump ahead of a faster one on the next turn. This is the exact problem a clan boss calculator is designed to solve.
8. Where can I find pre-made speed tunes?
There are many resources online. A great starting point is exploring our {related_keywords} section, which links to various community-tested compositions.
