Raid: Shadow Legends to team up with He-Man and the Masters of the Universe

• Raid: Shadow Legends’ latest crossover sees it team up with 80s toy franchise Masters of the Universe
• Grab Skeletor as part of a new loyalty program, and He-Man in the Elite Champion Pass
• But hurry, you’ll need to participate before the event ends to nab the free champion Skeletor

For a series that started out purely as an attempt to sell toys, He-Man and the Masters of the Universe has become a pop-culture landmark. Whether that’s because of genuine fondness, the camp factor of the original cartoon, or pure nostalgia. But either way, the series has starred in tons of digital collaborations, and the latest to team up with He-Man and fellow residents of Castle Grayskull is Raid: Shadow Legends.

The iconic cackling face of Skeletor can join your lineup by participating in a 14-day loyalty programme, where signing in on seven different days before December 25th will let you grab him for free. Meanwhile, the series mascot He-Man will also be available as the final reward of the Elite Champion Pass feature.

Naturally, as you’d expect, while Skeletor specialises in controlling the flow of battle, dealing debuffs and manipulating the turn meter, He-Man is all about pure heroic power and overwhelming his opponents through good old-fashioned brute force.

Nyahahaha

Alongside the short animation and general design of this crossover, it’s pretty clear it’s very much a throwback to the old days of eighties He-Man rather than the reboots some may be familiar with. It’s also obviously playing just a little bit into the self-referential humour that Raid has slowly cultivated over the years. But for better or worse, if you’re looking to snap up a couple of great new champions for your lineup in Raid: Shadow Legends, this team-up is sure to excite.

If this is your first time jumping into Raid: Shadow Legends, don’t get caught out by using less-useful champions! No one likes wasting resources, after all.
