What is a Hellhades Calculator?
A “hellhades calculator” refers to a suite of tools developed or promoted by the content creator Hellhades for the game Raid: Shadow Legends. These are not financial calculators. Instead, they focus on complex in-game mechanics. The most critical of these is the **Clan Boss Speed Tune calculator**. This tool allows players to input the speeds of their champions and simulate a battle against the Clan Boss to see the exact turn order. A correct speed tune is the single most important factor for consistent high damage output, enabling teams to perfectly sync buffs, debuffs, and protection skills for 50 straight turns.
This calculator is essential for anyone moving into mid-game or end-game content, where surviving the Clan Boss’s increasing power and maximizing damage requires a perfectly choreographed team. Without a proper speed tune, your team’s abilities will fall out of sync, leading to failed runs and lost rewards. Check out our guide on {related_keywords} for more info.
The Clan Boss Speed Tune Formula and Explanation
There isn’t a single formula, but an algorithm that simulates the game’s turn meter mechanics. The core principle is: on every “tick” of the game clock, each champion (and the boss) gains a small amount of Turn Meter. The amount gained is proportional to their Speed stat.
Turn Meter Gained per Tick ≈ 0.07 * Total Speed
The first combatant to reach 100% Turn Meter takes their turn, and their Turn Meter is reset. This process repeats. This calculator simulates that tick-by-tick race to determine the precise turn order over a 50-turn battle. The “formula” is the simulation itself. The goal of using this hellhades calculator is to ensure your champions take their turns in the desired order relative to the Clan Boss’s attacks.
Key Variables Table
| Variable | Meaning | Unit | Typical Range |
|---|---|---|---|
| Champion Speed | The final “Total Speed” stat shown in-game. | Speed | 120 – 350+ |
| Clan Boss Speed | The fixed speed of the boss for a specific difficulty. | Speed | 120 / 140 / 170 / 190 |
| Turn Meter | A combatant’s progress towards their next turn. | Percentage (%) | 0 – 100% |
| Speed Aura | A leadership skill that boosts team speed. | Percentage (%) | 19% – 32% |
Understanding these variables is key to mastering your {related_keywords} strategy.
Practical Examples
Example 1: A 2:1 Unkillable Team
A “2:1” team means your champions take two turns for every one turn the Clan Boss takes. This is a common goal for high damage. Let’s use a standard “Myth-Heir” composition for Ultra-Nightmare.
- Inputs: Demytha (277 Speed), Heiress (255), Seeker (246), Deacon Armstrong (227), DPS (221).
- Units: All units are in “Speed”.
- Result: The calculator will show a table where the champions consistently take their turns in an order that keeps the “Unkillable” buff active for both of the Clan Boss’s AOE attacks, ensuring survival for 50 turns. The result will show a perfect sync.
Example 2: A “Slow-Tuned” Counter-Attack Team
Here, the goal is for the entire team to be slower than the Clan Boss, so they attack after he does and benefit from a counter-attack buff.
- Inputs: Skullcrusher (172 Speed), Steelskull (174), Frozen Banshee (176), Rhazin (178), Sepulcher Sentinel (235).
- Units: Speed
- Result: The calculator will show that for Nightmare Clan Boss (170 Speed), all champions except the buff extender/blocker (Sepulcher) will take their turn *after* the boss. This ensures they all have the counter-attack buff active when he strikes. This is a fundamental concept for {related_keywords} teams.
How to Use This Hellhades Calculator
- Select Clan Boss Difficulty: Choose the difficulty you are targeting. This sets the boss’s speed, which is the baseline for the entire calculation.
- Enter Champion Speeds: Input the exact “Total Speed” for each of the 5 champions on your team as it appears in the game. Do not use base speeds.
- Click Calculate: The tool will run the turn-by-turn simulation.
- Interpret the Results Table: The table shows the turn order. Look for where the “Clan Boss” takes his turns. Are your key buffs (like Block Debuffs or Unkillable) being applied right before his attack? Is your debuff cleanser going right after? This is the core of the analysis.
- Check the Primary Result: The top-level result will give a simple “Synced” or “Out of Sync” indication for many popular compositions, but the table provides the real details.
Key Factors That Affect Clan Boss Speed Tuning
- True Speed vs. Displayed Speed: The game rounds the speed displayed on screen. However, gear sets like Speed Set (12%) and Divine Speed (8%) are calculated from a champion’s base speed, often resulting in fractional “true speeds”. This hellhades calculator uses precise calculations to avoid rounding errors that can break a tune.
- Speed Sets: Speed (12%), Divine Speed (8%), and Swift Parry (18%) all add a percentage of a champion’s base speed, which must be factored in for a perfect tune.
- Lore of Steel Mastery: This T6 mastery increases the bonus from basic artifact sets by 15%. For three speed sets, this adds another 5.4% of base speed, a significant amount that can break a tune if not accounted for.
- Speed Auras: Auras from a leader apply to all champions in the battle and can drastically change the required speeds from gear.
- Turn Meter Boosting Abilities: Champions like Seeker, Deacon Armstrong, or Apothecary add a flat percentage to the team’s turn meters, which is a core mechanic of many 2:1 speed tunes.
- Debuffs and Buffs: A `Decrease Speed` debuff on your team or a `Increase Speed` buff from a champion like Krisk will completely alter the turn order and must be part of the team design. For more on buffs, see our {related_keywords} guide.
Mastering these factors is crucial. Our {related_keywords} article provides more examples.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
A: The most common reasons are: 1) You have a mastery like “Cycle of Violence” or “Rapid Response” that adds random turn meter. 2) You have entered the wrong speed value. Double-check all speeds. 3) You forgot to account for the Lore of Steel mastery. 4) The champion’s AI is not using the skill you expect on auto. You must preset the team’s AI correctly in-game.
A: It’s the actual, un-rounded speed of a champion after all set bonuses (which are based on base speed) are calculated. For example, a champion with 100 base speed wearing one speed set gets +12 speed. The game shows this perfectly. But if their base speed is 97, they get +11.64 speed. The calculator uses 108.64 while the game might display 109. This small difference matters immensely.
A: No. This calculator works on the principle of “Total Speed”. You should input the final speed numbers you see in the champion’s stat screen *while the champion is assigned to the leader slot* (if they are the leader). The tool simply needs the final speed value that the game engine will use.
A: Generally, no. Champions who grant themselves an extra turn (like Relentless gear or skills from champions like Rhazin) will instantly break a speed tune and should not be used in tuned Clan Boss teams.
A: This means a specific champion takes 4 turns for every 3 turns the Clan Boss takes. This is used for champions with buffs/debuffs on a 4-turn cooldown, allowing them to have 100% uptime.
A: This calculator assumes a neutral affinity (Void). Against Force, Magic, or Spirit, the Clan Boss may target a weak affinity champion with his stun, which could alter the run if that champion is supposed to cleanse it. The pure turn order, however, remains the same.
A: They represent a popular unkillable team called “Myth-Fu”. These precise speeds are required to make the team work, demonstrating the high precision needed for end-game tunes.
A: Websites like DeadwoodJedi and the Hellhades website are the primary resources for community-tested and verified speed tunes. This calculator is a tool to verify those tunes with your specific champions and gear. For a list of top champions, consult our {related_keywords} tier list.
