Luria. One of the first few epics I got. She gets me to G4/Low plat arena every week with the freeze and block revive AOE. Shes also very strong for Doom Tower, Faction Wars, and most dungeons, especially Ice Golem.
“Dhukk is one of our 15 top 5 champions” lol. We enjoy when you go off tangent! Especially when you can laugh at yourself later and make us laugh with you
ursula is way better than what i thought at first glance too, since she is among one of the revivers that can cast the revive on living allies and buff them. Great for clan boss.
Cool thing about Psylar is that she only manipulates the enemies turn meter so you can use her against Tormin in the arena without triggering his passive freeze skill.
The great thing about Vrask, and why he was auto build for me, is he doesn’t require books to reach his max effectiveness. 5 stars on him also gets you farther than you’d think, 6 stars only needed for end game of Vrask just for the extra hp (bigger heal)
Agree with this - Vrask is arguably better without books because you'd rather use his A1 than A2 for the turn meter anyway. He is still good at level 50 as he requires no accuracy for anything, so not having a banner isn't too bad.
i have vrask and grush the mangler, both at 50. i will move grush to 60 and leave vrask at 50. i play them together often and i like grush a good bit better. stats are stats but when 1 out performs the other in play constantly, you gotta go with the best.
Mausoleum mage was one of the first few epics I pulled and built. now im 8 months in and about lvl 65ish and still use him as one of my main supports in almost every area of the game. His kit is always usefull, his heal his great, and the def buff really make a big difference between living and dying, only thing I wish was the block debuffs was 2 turns, but it still helps alot :P
There are a lot of support champs that you can keep at lvl 50. For low-mid spenders it is important to know which champs you must take to lvl 60 vs lvl 50. If they are just buffers/healers such as maso mage, gorgorab, vrask, High Katun, you can argue that they will be 90% as effective at 50 as they are 60. Debuffers/nukers are the champs you need to take to 60 for the tier 6 masteries and banners for acc.
Just got into the game, pulled a few epic but for sure gonna keep this list in mind. Thanks man! and for those that want a quick overview I made: Archmage Hellmut Stag Knight Ursula the Mourner Royal Guard Tayrel (unless already a debuffer/defensive aura) Thenasil Hope Sanguinia Deacon Armstrong Godseeker Aniri Armina (with consistent stunner) Fahrakin the Fat Skytouched Shaman Uugo Klodd Beastfeeder Skullcrusher (unless Valkyrie or Martyr) Ghrush the Mangler Maneater Steelskull Dhukk the Pierced Seer (great with Mausoleum Mage) Vrask Alure Akoth the Seared Achak the Wendarin Umbral Enchantress Tarshon Mausoleum Mage (great with Seer) Vogoth Seeker (great for Arena/Clan Boss) Madame Serris Psylar Miscreated Monster Sepulcher Sentinel (unless already a defensive aura) Skullcrown Grizzled Jarl Runekeeper Dazdurk
Ash, dude, I started watching your videos for the info on champs and stayed for the show. You educate and entertain. Your rants are as epic as your "Top5 Epic Champ" lists :)
I love your videos man! I am a F2P player, and whenever I open a new champion, I always check if you have a guide on them or not. Your opinion matters so much, because you are logical, and know a lot more about the game than other Raid content creators! Keep up the good work Ash! 👌
I know they’re not very well regarded, and not top tier/endgame or anything, but Zelotah and Romero both helped me a lot early/ mid game. When options are limited they can be very helpful.
"You subscribe here for the mediocre content, and that's exactly what I deliver to you guys on a daily basis." - Ash, best quote ever hahaha. We love your tangents bro lol.
I use Ursula the Mourner in a lot of content, even in the arena ... I'm in high Gold 4. Shes a lot like sepulcher, but her aoe debuff and revive the entire team are insane.
Vergis was one of my first epics. Easy to book, put him in a shield set then he put my entire account on his shoulders and carried it through dungeons.
Watching old vids and been playing for roughly 4 months and "Beatdown" Fahrakin the Fat is one of those fun to watch unfold moves. Lol Thanks Ash for all you do...done and future insights into RAID!!🤘😎
Vergis was my first Epic and he carried my team for most of the dungeon content, and even in clan boss for awhile. If I made a new account today and he was my first Epic again, I'd 100% upgrade him as fast as possible.
I think that's a good list. One champion I'd add is Lodric Falconheart. If you don't have a good shield champ he's a must build IMO as he's a permanent shield generator once his A3 is fully booked.
What about when I already fully booked High Khatun and am about to get Arcmage Hellmut? I was a filthy dirty P2W dolphin for a month or so, too, so I have a lot of other good stuff like Krisk, Duchess, BEK, Sandlashed, etc and am wondering if I should really invest in Deacon??
Interesting selection and guide. I have intesting dilemma of pulling Madame, taking her to 60 - then pulled Tayrel, Stag Knight in rapid succession. (And after investing in Dagger for FW.) Sadly, on my abandoned FTP pulled Sepulchar Sentinel, Uugo, and Sanguina early on and found them great, until forced to give up. At least I have some of your recommends on main - Armina, Dhukk, MMonster etc. But a few skill/role needs left.
Very proud to see you embraced your a lot of champs top 5. Great vid btw. I wish you did one with legies. We have legies but no resources to upgrade. Very hard choices.
I already have Skytouched Shaman build and I just unlocked vrask. Is one better than the other? Or should I use them both? Currently using Skytouches and apothecary
I had ten 5 star food champs until last week. I maxed Skartorsis. Just got Visix, but researching first to see if she's worth it. I have Fu-Shan and Skartorsis that need books. I have Madame, so I haven't maxed Tayrel. Maxed Vergis... one of my first Epics. I have Fahrakin and Ghrush in my sparring pit. Maneater boosted my account in a bunch of areas! Steelskrull I've ignored besides leveling, might check him out. Dhukk also boosted my account... awesome! Vrask is in my vault... oops. Allure is at 50. Mausoleum Mage at 50. Seeker used daily. Gororab one of my favorites, Madame... no words. That's all I have.... slow rolling, but it's been a year, so it's been fun!
The guy you're sleeping on in Banner Lords is Oathbound. Pulled him early on and he was huge for me in early game. Defense champ, does decent damage, some turn meter, some CC, and an AOE decrease attack. Way better than Seneschal
I haven't regretted upgrading Vergis. When I couldn't get Scarab king otherwise, he could solo it even at 5 stars. He is also an amazing spider tank. I don't use him anywhere else (okay, doom tower secret rooms), but the places he excels at, there are very little champions that can compare to him.
Ash, tell me which Champion would you max if there were Reliquary Tender and Vrask? It's about the F2P account. I have both of these heroes and I have a problem.
I only have mine to level 40 but with decent speed, I believe 172, and Skinner usually gets the most damage in Faction Wars and I will probably take him to 60 so I can consistently steal bluffs from the dungeons.
Dude I got Deacon about 2 weeks ago got him up to 5* 50 today. Had two five-star chickens got three duplicate rares up to five stars and took Zargala up to six stars instead of Deacon!!!! Literally seconds before watching your video too. Uuuuuhhhhggggg! I knew it!!!! 🤷♂️😁🤣 Oh well, he's next now! Awesome vid per usual Boss!
Agree with most of the list. Considering that (except for the rewards) my first 2 epics were Vrask and Sinesha, I would say that they're both a must build. I did not even maxed out Kael, once I understood the mechanics of those two it became so easy to face most of the contents. Healer AoE on every hit and an AoE hitter with 2 healing skills. Not the fastest runs, but man they got to the end! So I would for sure put Sinesha among the must build...
Probably a stupid question since I just started playing this game but would increasing rank/ascending any of the rare characters be worth it until I'm able to start getting more epic/legendary ones? I'm loving Elhain so far and I've been using a 4 piece Lifesteal/2 piece Offense build with her and she's been doing the most damage on my whole team so far.
Just finished maxing out Deacon. He is a game changer. I was completing FK19 about 85 to 90% of the time. Now I'm beating stage 20 consistently with him, Alure, Coldheart, Ursala the Mourner, and Ma'Shalled.
I know this game is moving forward a lot and has much to come, but has anyone noticed the third spot on the arena map? The words "the pinnacle" stands with a bare podium, almost seems like someday they might implement a third arena section for pvp alongside classic arena and tag team arena. Any thoughts? Obviously the big crystal tower is still locked in the dungeons section but I'm interested in seeing if they do anything with these areas.
Hey Ash !!! First of all BIG thx for all your work put in all your videos, really great content and I am having fun watching it, which is really important :) I mean you are the reason I downloaded this game again after trying it for few months long time ago :)) But the main reason I am writing is to ask for help! I am in my second month on my new acc and there was a point where I was struggling because I did not have any healers and in champ summoning week I got "Mausoleum Make" "Apothecary", "Rector Drath" and "Pain keeper". Right now I am wasting energy by trying to mix them around my few dps champs and I cant pick those few for my main team. Cause when I watch videos bout them they are all good :D + I got I have "Tarshon" which I thought is aaa ok champ, nothing special. But after this video I am lost :D plz some advice ! tyy and GL !
how would you rank these 3....Uugo, Dhukk & Tayrel? I recently pulled all 3 on last weeks summoning event. i cant make up my mind who i should build first. F2p account w/ limited resources. currently my only other built debuffer is Warmaiden
As a new player... I loved seeing your bit about deacon armstrong as he was one of my first epic pulls in the game. I've already 6 stared him but what should i build him out with?
you should ask this hypothetical question when doing such vids "if I would pull ALL Epics at once, which ones would I max out first?" once for Whale Account and once for F2P Account and then make a list based on that. That makes it a lot more interesting. In fact, question to everybody here, if you had pulled ALL Epics and could only max out 5 of them, which 5 would that be?
I have a question - it might sound rather stupid but I have 4 lego's at 50 and I have 4 of the Epic's you mention here at 50 - should I up the lego's first ?
Fenax is very good..I use him in so many situations..He hits extremely hard ... his A1 on the ice golem is just awesome ... For me, Fenax is one of the underestimated heroes in the game ... A bit squishi though with Def and Lp no problem..Play it And Thanks for the Good Guides you do
Hi Ash, thanks for the video, it is exactly what i need right now! I'm just 3 weeks into the game and after watching this video i'm feeling pretty lucky about my pulls so far, but now i'm kinda unsure what champion holds the most potential for my account or at least a stable team. Would love to get your or your community's opinion on that :D So the champs worth discussing are: Deacon Armstrong, Fahrakin the Fat, Grush the Mangler, Klodd Beastfeeder, Vogoth and Doompriest So my guess right now is going Deacon next, then Klodd and Doompriest and then putting together a team with those 3 and Kael (60) + Galek?
I wanna know, have you built up towering Titan and cage breaker? I have that team up and really wanna build cause it’s a team up thing. But not sure it’s worth it?
although Royal Guard can be good in the late game, investing in the early game did not work for me. enemy max hp is not that high for low level dungeons, so I didn't get any return for my investment. in the mid game, he's useful, but dies easily to enemy damage. it's hard to get enough hp,def,spd,atk,crit% and crit.d on this champion. even in the late game, I still don't have the gear to get his build right. I can choose high damage and decent speed, but low defense and hp, or some defense, but low damage. Tayrel is great, at any level and easier to build. safer bet.
Hi I'm following your channel and playing free to play (i started playing with my kids they quit but I'm still playing lol) ihave almost all the champions you just show, and a i need to choose one now to get for the 6 stars. And i thinking between reactor and hope. What would you do ?
Ursula helped my account big time. I'm mostly free to play, I've bought some gems for masteries but other than that I'm grinding it out. Ursula has made my team survivable and is now a huge help in Doom tower. She is a huge boost to ATK of DEF champs and that revive is the best.
Ursula has been the best addition to my team since Ma'Shalled. She is INCREDIBLE. She keeps everyone alive in everything. Every highest dungeon, every Nightmare Campaign level (paired with Ma'Shalled) for those 3 stars, and every CB battle. The BEST epic reviver in the game.
Seeker is great in Doom Tower Normal imo. 85% of Normal I just run Seeker with 4 fast attack based nukers (1 or 2 having some utility debuffs as well). Makes for some very fast clears on an early-mid game account. The final 10-20 floors I need to slow down and go a bit more balanced. And of course he's awesome in FW. One of my favorite Epics.
Thenasil. I was lucky enough to pull Thenasil shortly after starting the game. He is completely amazing. His A3 Toxic Cloud is not the hardest hitting AoE attack like Ash said in the video, but with respect, I think that a big plus of the A3 Toxic cloud didn't get mentioned in the video....that is that it decreases all buffs on enemy by one turn. Also while talking of "Toxic Cloud", is it just me, or is not reasonable to expect an ability with a name like that to have some chance of laying poisons ?
Case in point: this weekend is 2x legendary chance but I wonder...if I get a legendary should I actually invest in them or wait until I get Scyl of Drakes? So few legendary books, have to be very wise with how to use them.
I have Vergis. He has a unique ability not described anywhere as far as I know, in that if you position him correctly and attack the right opponents he will swipe at and score hits on 2 or 3 opponents with his supposedly attacks one enemy A1 using that oversized poke of his. Does anyone else see that? I also like his A2 Aegis buff ability as you choose which of your champions gets 4 buffs while the rest get one each, which puts a further complexity of making a good choice into it.
Great video! Would love to see this same rundown on Legendaries! Somehow, I keep pulling the Cillian and Astrolith caliber legos, rather than the Santas or Valks.
I have Fahrakin the Fat and Deacon Armstrong and yeah they are insane. And Ash if you pull Fahrakin you should do a guide on him, believe it or not he hits like a truck. I'm talkin 30k+ on his A1 and 80k+ on his A2.
I am free to play and Aox is huge! AoE att down and reduces turn meter by 20%. Amazing for waves and bosses. Heals are good on bosses. Poisons are good on bosses. His passive is huge on bosses. He is in every team I have except arena. I got super lucky and pulled Cardiel. Aox and Cardiel can 2 man all three normal scarabs... no shields. Its very fun seeing the debuffs go into the 40s and 50s of turns left.
So glad i found Ash, i only get to play a couple hours every couple of days but his advice is awesome, also i followed another content creator from the UK and after seeing his doom tower video on scarab telling people that they shouldn't be there if they cant beat that boss i looked for another creator to follow
I pulled seeker and deacon right after eachother on ftp with just ancient shards. unbelievable, with one should i use tho…seem to have similar type of utility
I need help finding champions (at least rare or above) that take debuffs off my allies. I have none lol I keep pulling some ok champs but none with that ability. Is there a certain level in dungeons or somewhere that’s known for dropping champions? Like I’m trying to grind and get spirit ghost and heiress but they wont drop. I keep watching all these videos and none of the champions you talk about I have. These videos are great because I know who I will have when they drop tho. keep them comin! 💯
I do have Aox The Rememberer tho.. even he was just an honorable mention kinda lol I’m still very new to game, almost a month in. Almost to that free champion
Question: Sandlashed survivor, Sepulcher Sentinel or Umbral Enchantress? The rest of the team is Bellower, reliquary tender, Athel and Soulbound Bowyer
i take this video was before baerdal fellhammer was put in raid? i have 2 of them and their passive is places a counter attack for 1 turn at the end of each turn so he has a constant counter attack
Where i Start playing in January with Raid. Ursula was on of my First Epics i got out of a Event. And i am soooo glad she is the Core of every of my Teams and is from Early to Midgame OP, on Endgame i cant say it. But for me she is AWEsome ^^. Dear Greets from Swiss
Hey Ash, can you do Legendaries to for new players (also includes budget new players) cause as of right now I have 3 Legendaries Sir Nicholas, Trunda Giltmallet, and also Turvold out of 3 them I'm solely focusing on Sir Nicholas I have 2 months into raid shadow legends I'm also looking at other content creators such as Hell Hades and DeadwoodJedi for opinions on the champions and builds as well I also recently kinda book out Reliquary Tender am missing 2 books but for A1.
Poor Ash! He sets out to help everyone one that is struggling by narrowing down some epics for 'Build if pull', but there are so many great champs that the 'Auto-Build' pool is still over 50! ;-) Imagine a F2P trying to build even 1/2 these champs lol! I know it's kind of been done, but maybe next go around on a great idea like this, limit to max 1 per faction? (Still 14 champs at that rate) Maybe a Snub on Captain Temila? Strong Shield set, carry through all dungeons and double for FW
It's interesting how you prefer Skullcrown over Sinesha. I'm a f2p player and I pulled Sinesha on my very first ancient shard received from daily reward. She always carried me through as my major nuker Campaign, Arena, Faction, and Doom Tower. 3 years later after getting other champs, she's still my go-to if I need to take down multiple enemies if no one else could. On another account, I excitedly have Skullcrown. She put nw down that she's not as strong and dies too much, not as good for me. Still, I've been trying for 2 years to get both on the same account to have the twins together
question ASH how does certain Masteries still work if it says these abilites will not extend turn debuffs look at Ninja then look at Mastery they dont work or do they my apologies if it is a dumb question but I just saw it reason I ask
Ash have you ever played around with fenax? Hes a champ you need to build to see how sick he is. On icegolems he stands with rotos as a block reviver and his aoe hits amazing too. Try building him hes so fun
I have had stag Knight from the start of the game.. He is amazing. I use him in everywhere. I also run ursula too, in a regen set with great hp she does last and stays alive long enough to revive the whole team. Great champion
Who was my biggest snub!?!?! ps- Fun video with Chosen coming out tomorrow sharing our most underrated champs in every faction!
Dhukk
Luria. One of the first few epics I got. She gets me to G4/Low plat arena every week with the freeze and block revive AOE. Shes also very strong for Doom Tower, Faction Wars, and most dungeons, especially Ice Golem.

*Ursala
Sorry if I'm being too picky 😅
i replaced my jareg for ursala and she is doing pretty good keeping to team alive
Same here. I pulled one, from a few void shards and she was a game-changer. Quite possibly the best revive in the game.
Cool thing about Psylar is that she only manipulates the enemies turn meter so you can use her against Tormin in the arena without triggering his passive freeze skill.
16:50 I love it when Ash gets distracted by something, rambles a bit and realizes whats going on :D

Rector Drath, fully booked is freaking amazing, helps everywhere
I know they’re not very well regarded, and not top tier/endgame or anything, but Zelotah and Romero both helped me a lot early/ mid game. When options are limited they can be very helpful.

You should do a "All top 5 epic champions" video, and just proceed to talk about the 20 (+/-) champs that are in the contest of top 5
Deacon Armstrong is such a game changer for a mild spender like me. Definitely book him up!
I CANT WAIT to get him :)
I had em im so resource saving being f2p i look at ppl on youtube for advice because limited time to play and resources this guys been a big help

I have dupe of him, should I bother booking both?
@@brandantobin3925 I would say yes because he can do both speed boost and decrease def in the same turn meaning you save yourself a champion slot

Borh only need to 50. Ive completed both fw with them at 50
Been playing for over two months and have none of these and no legendarys but I do have two of your honorable mentions should I just build them?
Hey Ash, would you take the time and share your thoughts on the uncommon Lizardmen SKINNER Champion? Much appreciated, thx.
I only have mine to level 40 but with decent speed, I believe 172, and Skinner usually gets the most damage in Faction Wars and I will probably take him to 60 so I can consistently steal bluffs from the dungeons.
Dude I got Deacon about 2 weeks ago got him up to 5* 50 today. Had two five-star chickens got three duplicate rares up to five stars and took Zargala up to six stars instead of Deacon!!!! Literally seconds before watching your video too. Uuuuuhhhhggggg! I knew it!!!! 🤷♂️😁🤣 Oh well, he's next now!
Awesome vid per usual Boss!
Agree with most of the list.
Considering that (except for the rewards) my first 2 epics were Vrask and Sinesha, I would say that they're both a must build.
I did not even maxed out Kael, once I understood the mechanics of those two it became so easy to face most of the contents. Healer AoE on every hit and an AoE hitter with 2 healing skills. Not the fastest runs, but man they got to the end!
So I would for sure put Sinesha among the must build...
Probably a stupid question since I just started playing this game but would increasing rank/ascending any of the rare characters be worth it until I'm able to start getting more epic/legendary ones? I'm loving Elhain so far and I've been using a 4 piece Lifesteal/2 piece Offense build with her and she's been doing the most damage on my whole team so far.
Just finished maxing out Deacon. He is a game changer. I was completing FK19 about 85 to 90% of the time. Now I'm beating stage 20 consistently with him, Alure, Coldheart, Ursala the Mourner, and Ma'Shalled.
I know this game is moving forward a lot and has much to come, but has anyone noticed the third spot on the arena map? The words "the pinnacle" stands with a bare podium, almost seems like someday they might implement a third arena section for pvp alongside classic arena and tag team arena. Any thoughts? Obviously the big crystal tower is still locked in the dungeons section but I'm interested in seeing if they do anything with these areas.
i would like to see a video of the best 5 champs for each faction, for a faction wars team, rare and uncommon, epic upgrades
Getting deacon armstrong: meh i'll put him in vault i guess
Ash: Deacon Armstrong is insanely good, legendary tier
Me: insanely good, legendary tier
Insanely good.. almost better than Lyssandra... IMO.. .almost
Hey Ash !!! First of all BIG thx for all your work put in all your videos, really great content and I am having fun watching it, which is really important :) I mean you are the reason I downloaded this game again after trying it for few months long time ago :)) But the main reason I am writing is to ask for help!
I am in my second month on my new acc and there was a point where I was struggling because I did not have any healers and in champ summoning week I got "Mausoleum Make" "Apothecary", "Rector Drath" and "Pain keeper". Right now I am wasting energy by trying to mix them around my few dps champs and I cant pick those few for my main team. Cause when I watch videos bout them they are all good :D + I got I have "Tarshon" which I thought is aaa ok champ, nothing special. But after this video I am lost :D plz some advice ! tyy and GL !
how would you rank these 3....Uugo, Dhukk & Tayrel? I recently pulled all 3 on last weeks summoning event. i cant make up my mind who i should build first. F2p account w/ limited resources. currently my only other built debuffer is Warmaiden
As a new player... I loved seeing your bit about deacon armstrong as he was one of my first epic pulls in the game. I've already 6 stared him but what should i build him out with?
If you have Septimus and Royal Guard.. do you invest in both? I guess which one should you invest if you only had to do one at the moment.
you should ask this hypothetical question when doing such vids "if I would pull ALL Epics at once, which ones would I max out first?" once for Whale Account and once for F2P Account and then make a list based on that. That makes it a lot more interesting.
In fact, question to everybody here, if you had pulled ALL Epics and could only max out 5 of them, which 5 would that be?
I have a question - it might sound rather stupid but I have 4 lego's at 50 and I have 4 of the Epic's you mention here at 50 - should I up the lego's first ?
Fenax is very good..I use him in so many situations..He hits extremely hard ... his A1 on the ice golem is just awesome ... For me, Fenax is one of the underestimated heroes in the game ... A bit squishi though with Def and Lp no problem..Play it
And Thanks for the Good Guides you do
Would you level stag knight if you already have a built Serris? To me it seems a waste with already having her.
6:09 this was fantastic, I choked on my own spit LOL
😂
I got both warcaster and Seneschal in the vault. Are they a must have for FW?
Hi Ash, thanks for the video, it is exactly what i need right now! I'm just 3 weeks into the game and after watching this video i'm feeling pretty lucky about my pulls so far, but now i'm kinda unsure what champion holds the most potential for my account or at least a stable team. Would love to get your or your community's opinion on that :D
So the champs worth discussing are: Deacon Armstrong, Fahrakin the Fat, Grush the Mangler, Klodd Beastfeeder, Vogoth and Doompriest
So my guess right now is going Deacon next, then Klodd and Doompriest and then putting together a team with those 3 and Kael (60) + Galek?
I wanna know, have you built up towering Titan and cage breaker? I have that team up and really wanna build cause it’s a team up thing. But not sure it’s worth it?
although Royal Guard can be good in the late game, investing in the early game did not work for me.
enemy max hp is not that high for low level dungeons, so I didn't get any return for my investment.
in the mid game, he's useful, but dies easily to enemy damage. it's hard to get enough hp,def,spd,atk,crit% and crit.d on this champion. even in the late game, I still don't have the gear to get his build right.
I can choose high damage and decent speed, but low defense and hp, or some defense, but low damage.
Tayrel is great, at any level and easier to build. safer bet.
If you had to pick one to 6 star uugo, klodd beastfeeder, or deacon Armstrong who would you choose
super helpful, had 2 epics that have been gathering dust and just found out i should be maxing em. thank ya 😊
Hi I'm following your channel and playing free to play (i started playing with my kids they quit but I'm still playing lol) ihave almost all the champions you just show, and a i need to choose one now to get for the 6 stars. And i thinking between reactor and hope. What would you do ?
Thank you for the video! I had Deacon like 1 week ago and it was in the vault lol. Time to level up him. Amazing video and waiting now for Top 5.
Ursula helped my account big time. I'm mostly free to play, I've bought some gems for masteries but other than that I'm grinding it out. Ursula has made my team survivable and is now a huge help in Doom tower. She is a huge boost to ATK of DEF champs and that revive is the best.
Ursula has been the best addition to my team since Ma'Shalled.
She is INCREDIBLE. She keeps everyone alive in everything. Every highest dungeon, every Nightmare Campaign level (paired with Ma'Shalled) for those 3 stars, and every CB battle.
The BEST epic reviver in the game.
100% agreed! I had not thought about Ma'shalled and Ursala for Nightmare campaign. Bout to try that right now!
Seeker is great in Doom Tower Normal imo. 85% of Normal I just run Seeker with 4 fast attack based nukers (1 or 2 having some utility debuffs as well). Makes for some very fast clears on an early-mid game account. The final 10-20 floors I need to slow down and go a bit more balanced. And of course he's awesome in FW. One of my favorite Epics.
I just got shatterbones, it's my 2nd week and I'm f2p, is he any good? My current arena comp is Kael, Warmaiden, Shaman, Shatterbones
Thenasil. I was lucky enough to pull Thenasil shortly after starting the game. He is completely amazing. His A3 Toxic Cloud is not the hardest hitting AoE attack like Ash said in the video, but with respect, I think that a big plus of the A3 Toxic cloud didn't get mentioned in the video....that is that it decreases all buffs on enemy by one turn.
Also while talking of "Toxic Cloud", is it just me, or is not reasonable to expect an ability with a name like that to have some chance of laying poisons ?
Question! Deacon Armstrong or sepulcher sentinel for my clan boss team? I have both and can’t decide
Case in point: this weekend is 2x legendary chance but I wonder...if I get a legendary should I actually invest in them or wait until I get Scyl of Drakes? So few legendary books, have to be very wise with how to use them.
i got 800 mystery shards should i be pulling constantly for 3 stars?
Hey, Ash!
What about ultimate galek for the aoe burn in spider
I have Vergis. He has a unique ability not described anywhere as far as I know, in that if you position him correctly and attack the right opponents he will swipe at and score hits on 2 or 3 opponents with his supposedly attacks one enemy A1 using that oversized poke of his. Does anyone else see that?
I also like his A2 Aegis buff ability as you choose which of your champions gets 4 buffs while the rest get one each, which puts a further complexity of making a good choice into it.
Do you have a guide for Grizzled Jarl?
I was waiting for your thoughts about RUGNOR GOLDGLEAM (dwarf)
Great video! Would love to see this same rundown on Legendaries! Somehow, I keep pulling the Cillian and Astrolith caliber legos, rather than the Santas or Valks.
Warcaster helped me build Batman Forever unkillable comp, he is not only usefull in FW, but also CB.
I have Fahrakin the Fat and Deacon Armstrong and yeah they are insane. And Ash if you pull Fahrakin you should do a guide on him, believe it or not he hits like a truck. I'm talkin 30k+ on his A1 and 80k+ on his A2.
I am free to play and Aox is huge! AoE att down and reduces turn meter by 20%. Amazing for waves and bosses. Heals are good on bosses. Poisons are good on bosses. His passive is huge on bosses. He is in every team I have except arena. I got super lucky and pulled Cardiel. Aox and Cardiel can 2 man all three normal scarabs... no shields. Its very fun seeing the debuffs go into the 40s and 50s of turns left.
I 100% recommend it Aniri.. She has helped my f2p soooooo much..
I just pulled Tarshon. Do u think i should max him ?
So glad i found Ash, i only get to play a couple hours every couple of days but his advice is awesome, also i followed another content creator from the UK and after seeing his doom tower video on scarab telling people that they shouldn't be there if they cant beat that boss i looked for another creator to follow
I pulled seeker and deacon right after eachother on ftp with just ancient shards. unbelievable, with one should i use tho…seem to have similar type of utility
I need help finding champions (at least rare or above) that take debuffs off my allies. I have none lol I keep pulling some ok champs but none with that ability. Is there a certain level in dungeons or somewhere that’s known for dropping champions? Like I’m trying to grind and get spirit ghost and heiress but they wont drop. I keep watching all these videos and none of the champions you talk about I have. These videos are great because I know who I will have when they drop tho. keep them comin! 💯
I do have Aox The Rememberer tho.. even he was just an honorable mention kinda lol I’m still very new to game, almost a month in. Almost to that free champion
Question: Sandlashed survivor, Sepulcher Sentinel or Umbral Enchantress? The rest of the team is Bellower, reliquary tender, Athel and Soulbound Bowyer
i take this video was before baerdal fellhammer was put in raid? i have 2 of them and their passive is places a counter attack for 1 turn at the end of each turn so he has a constant counter attack
Can you get multiple of the same epic champions?
Where i Start playing in January with Raid. Ursula was on of my First Epics i got out of a Event. And i am soooo glad she is the Core of every of my Teams and is from Early to Midgame OP, on Endgame i cant say it. But for me she is AWEsome ^^. Dear Greets from Swiss
Hey Ash, can you do Legendaries to for new players (also includes budget new players) cause as of right now I have 3 Legendaries Sir Nicholas, Trunda Giltmallet, and also Turvold out of 3 them I'm solely focusing on Sir Nicholas I have 2 months into raid shadow legends I'm also looking at other content creators such as Hell Hades and DeadwoodJedi for opinions on the champions and builds as well I also recently kinda book out Reliquary Tender am missing 2 books but for A1.
Poor Ash! He sets out to help everyone one that is struggling by narrowing down some epics for 'Build if pull', but there are so many great champs that the 'Auto-Build' pool is still over 50! ;-)
Imagine a F2P trying to build even 1/2 these champs lol!
I know it's kind of been done, but maybe next go around on a great idea like this, limit to max 1 per faction? (Still 14 champs at that rate)
Maybe a Snub on Captain Temila? Strong Shield set, carry through all dungeons and double for FW
It's interesting how you prefer Skullcrown over Sinesha. I'm a f2p player and I pulled Sinesha on my very first ancient shard received from daily reward. She always carried me through as my major nuker Campaign, Arena, Faction, and Doom Tower. 3 years later after getting other champs, she's still my go-to if I need to take down multiple enemies if no one else could. On another account, I excitedly have Skullcrown. She put nw down that she's not as strong and dies too much, not as good for me. Still, I've been trying for 2 years to get both on the same account to have the twins together
How could you leave out SS passive?? Block all incoming damage in CB can extend the fight 4 or 5 rds alone
Helmut, Mausoleum, Seeker, Ghrush
Who do you 6s first?
question ASH how does certain Masteries still work if it says these abilites will not extend turn debuffs look at Ninja then look at Mastery they dont work or do they my apologies if it is a dumb question but I just saw it reason I ask
Ash have you ever played around with fenax? Hes a champ you need to build to see how sick he is. On icegolems he stands with rotos as a block reviver and his aoe hits amazing too. Try building him hes so fun
I have had stag Knight from the start of the game.. He is amazing. I use him in everywhere.
I also run ursula too, in a regen set with great hp she does last and stays alive long enough to revive the whole team. Great champion
I ve got all of them, as a f2p, its gonna take me 10 years to get them all fully booked 🤪
I have deacon ... 😝 ... how would u built him ? Need some advice
Love the timing of Uugo yelling at you during you hijacking your own video. Lol
Will you do a epic must max video for the Shadowkin faction?
Love how you’ve gotten more straight forward with saying things. Think I’ll be back watching your videos. Solid fuckin video 💪🏽
