Candraphon was my second lego and I've used him a lot in arena. Now he is fantastic but try this--put him in Retaliation for the arena. He's always stealthed now, especially if paired with Duchess. Since he shrugs off arena AOE nukes now, and his A1 gets a free extra hit on buffed enemies, he's just brutal any time he gets to take a free shot with his A1. I've got him on an arena team with Duchess for the reasons I've mentioned plus Valk for the counterattack and I'm almost embarrassed at the kind of pain he dishes out. Now, Kreela is my fourth on this team just because of her A2 calling her allies to attack. I tell ya, it's a great set up if your speed is good. Especially now that Serris can't remove his veil.
I'm so excited for this! He was my first lego and has been guarding the vault since last year. Thanks for putting this out so quickly! And I have a Duchess!
I've been using him in arena since back in March, not long after I started playing. I didn't have many legos to choose from then. Before the arena went wonky, Candro is what got me to gold, and hopefully with this buff I can get back there again.
Great work Hell Hades on this video. You make some nice videos with great brevity and down to earth concepts. Easy to listen to and fun to watch. Thanks for being a part of the community.
just something i noticed you mistaked on his changes. you said his a1 was the same. is not. it used to be double hit IF target had attack up. now it is if buff. so he have now a much bigget probobility to land to hits now as we know the game is now.
He ment his A1 is almost the same, in the way you play arena. He is not double hitter when you play arena and setup your attack. Because you debuff enemy team and then you want to nuke them. He is the same in this way. Still 1 hitter and shit super bad.
Yh i thought mine was busted lol plus, i dont know why they didnt mention that in his skill kit before baffling everyone ... he's my go - to Rotos, Trunda n Foli killa now =)
I just finished my hard and got all 3 stars to get my first Sacred. This is my FTP account. I was excited because we have a x2 event going on for those shards. I was so excited and nervous. I went ahead and used it and pulled Cantraphon. I was very disappointed at first until I saw this video of yours HH. Now I am excited. My account looks pretty damn funny with a bunch of rares, a couple of crappy epics and him.
I'm so happy that all my vault keepers that were getting a "rework" were all complete garbage changes (looking at you Astralith) and the one that they actually reworked I don't have
Ahh i was waiting for this exact video the moment i saw the changes do Candraphon... I needed someone to spend the resources on him for me hehe Definitely gonna build him ! Out of the vault with him !
I'm so excited! Last night I pulled him off Single ancient shard, had enough gems so I bought 3 more ancients, first one I poped boom magnaar!!!!! 😅😂 God bless H.
I was so happy to pull him yesterday. Couldn't help but hum a tune while lvling him in 12 3 brutL because he was nearly 1-shotting the waves COMPLETELY NAKED once he was past lvl40
When I first pulled this Champion a couple of weeks ago I was disappointed. Then he got a big buff and I have a Duchess to pair him with. Duchess was huge to pull for me and carried me through Spider 20. It is looking much better for my account now!!!
Nice guide on him. I'm curious about your claims on other videos about Gurgoh and how he doesn't need a buff. So I have him max skilled in decent gear. 4200 atk, 95 crit, 220 critd, 225 spd, 350 acc. Not godly on stats, but decent. So right now he freezes well, then attacks. He may kill, or not cant fit in def down cause that'd leave just him on dmg. He's single target so you need a back up dmg. Basically he does his s2 then s3 then you have to spam his s1...... over and over due to insanely high cooldowns. He brings literally only dmg on his s1 and s3. I don't know what other legendaries do nothing utility wise on their s3. Oh and he lessens his own damage with freeze. He's very dicey vs. Duchess and siphi due to 3 buffs..... and thats his only thing he's really good for, but he can't even do that well. And he's a void. I'm very curious how you came to the conclusion he didn't need a buff, I think he needs another buff
Hi HH. Would love to see a guide on your favourite wet noodle Jotun since the buff. He was my first epic and way back then I knew nothing about the game but I still knew he was trash!! Cracks me up whenever you mention him in your vids! Love your content, keep it coming!!!!
Seems like the idiot of the legendaries has gone wayyyy up. He has gotten a lot better. I used to hate him in the arena till now and will hate him more now lol. Great video mate.
I use him in silver right now with much weaker gear than that, and he still hits harder than most in the same ranking. When I saw him on the buff list I was sure he'd be useful, but I didn't expect him to become a monster.
Will you be doing a video on Bystophus? I know he only got a AOE change, but his move is a good debuffer at 75% to apply defense down and block cooldown. I have him and Candra so wondering who I should 6 star first.
I’ve only got 3 legendaries, but I got hella lucky. My first was krisk who launched through the game, then I got candraphon, didn’t upgrade him at all, then got duchess lilitu. Now candraphons got this update I’m excited to see how far my team can go
I haven't even watch this video and I am excited I have had this guy sitting in my volt since day 3 of playing the game. And I have a duchess that I use non-stop to pair with him
Hell Hades! Could you contact plarium in discord for Candraphon’s bugs? Passive is not working correctly, he gets veil buff sometimes and sometimes not when other team boosts turn meter and won't boost he's own turn meter when he takes damage from bulwark mastery.
Dutchess and Candraphon have been core of my arena team for a while now. They were perfect match even without this buff. He was hitting like a truck from veil with aoe. Also with single hit, and best is if enemy has att up he was hitting twice, and if he kill someone with aoe he gets 1 more turn. So usually if i put def down, he would slam them with aoe, often 70k on each guy, kill at least one, then get extra turn and hit 2 hammer blow hits on surviver. They 2 in pair carried me to g4. Now with buff he will be awesome, even though they keep messing with my dutchess.
Great video as always! Will you doing a video on Astralith now her A2 has been buffed? I've been using her in arena a bit now and find she's really good for assassinating those high resist/defence champs! Her A3 doesn't need accuracy either, so build her for max speed/damage.
I have been using him before the buff and now he looks ridiculous in the arena. I do need to change his build but for a F2P player he's my game changer. I love the cardinal and infernal barroness options ill have to test it
Even before the buff I wanted this champion because I always thought he had potential (he's always had the +40% damage under veil), now he's simply very good, ... and I need someone to replace my rotos.
Sorry to ask again. Could you make an Astralith guide please? I know she doesnt seem any better, but I just cannot see how i could use her (if i should at all).
Also, how about a guide on Deathless? maybe super tanky and high resist, all allies are dead, and then big hit on his A3 (scales off DEF and number of dead allies)
my big question is, candraphon or big'un as arena nuker? I pulled big'un last week in the double chard event, but suddenly my worst legendary is great.
I am so excited after watching this video my rotos still performs but not like he used to and I was missing a really good damage dealer for one of my teams in 3 V 3 now the only decision is do I take rotos's absolutely insane set of savage gear and put it on this guy and rebuild rotos. Or just run something similar like you have I just don't think I have any really good stalwart gear
I use relentless gear on him with cruel. Thinking of farming savage for him but eith relentless I am sitting with 240 crit dmg before his buff and 90% crit. The relentless helps when you want to cast the A3 etc. Still might switch once i find better savage
So Candraphon is the new Rotos...lol...way to go paylarium! Should have just buffed all champs to make them viable in certain aspects of the game. Also, I feel like they should wipe the ratings of champs they buff/nerf...so new players have a real time view of said champs.
My Candraphon throws out tenticles on his A2 instead of a boulder like Hells video shows. Stew has a video showing the same effect. Any idea why mine is the tenticles?
the astralith buff makes her a pretty good option in midlevel arena. no accuracy requirement makes her able to be built as a single target nuker with great utility for your second attacker. i know she is off most people's radars, but definitely worth a look!
Candraphon was my second lego and I've used him a lot in arena. Now he is fantastic but try this--put him in Retaliation for the arena. He's always stealthed now, especially if paired with Duchess.

He always hit quite hard it was just hard for him to stay alive long enough to get a turn . Now hes awesome 👍❤
I pulled a lyssandra today. Was hoping for a dutchess for my candra D;
Great work Hell Hades on this video. You make some nice videos with great brevity and down to earth concepts. Easy to listen to and fun to watch. Thanks for being a part of the community.
He was in my vault at 50 for a long time. Thank you Hades man. Im stoked about building him now. You made my day.
0:37 yes I love the champ Mysalad
O ma shalled
Almighty Cthulhu! :)
This is great news. He's been sitting in my vault since I pulled him! Awesome! Thanks for the video!!
Music to my ears!! Silver 1, here I come!! hahahahaha
Pull him out of the bin boys:)
uh.... no dont - He still sucks
@@shep78Gmail you still think that?

Been waiting on this one!
same, he‘s been sitting in my vault for months!!
Candraphon was the first lego I got, and the first dupe lego I got. I can't wait to play with them now!
I just got him, a glimmer of hope for the arena 🤩
This is badass Bro! Haven't been excited about the game in a while but this was an awesome sight to see.
I cry as I do not have this Champ! I am so glad you can show him off HH.
Just pulled him from an ancient shard. Super pumped after this video. Thank man.
i 6'd Candro in Feb '20...literally thought i was doing Suzerain, just clicked the wrong guy. Redemption time, baby!!!!
Good it worked out in the end
It was obvious he was going to be strong when the patch notes came out. But damn he hits harder then I thought he would
Thank you for this one, HH! I randomly pulled him from a single ancient, kind of a bummer. Next day buff was announced.
Funny fact: did you know that Candraphon's animation on his a2 change when you ascend him to lvl 3?
The first animation is better to me
What's the first one?
@@liamconnolly3897 the first one is with tentacles coming out of the ground underneath the enemy's and slapping them.
Yh i thought mine was busted lol plus, i dont know why they didnt mention that in his skill kit before baffling everyone ... he's my go - to Rotos, Trunda n Foli killa now =)
I have the same animation evene though I ascended him to 6
He was my first legendary pull, i was so dissapointed, now im glad 😂

I have not built up my Candaphon yet, but I was playing around with Elder Skargg last night and he was slaying it as well is arena.
I was so happy to pull him yesterday. Couldn't help but hum a tune while lvling him in 12 3 brutL because he was nearly 1-shotting the waves COMPLETELY NAKED once he was past lvl40
Thank God! Over the last week I lost my account with him on and I've just got it back and my ogh my my lord shazar is going to have a strong friend!
When I first pulled this Champion a couple of weeks ago I was disappointed. Then he got a big buff and I have a Duchess to pair him with. Duchess was huge to pull for me and carried me through Spider 20. It is looking much better for my account now!!!
I just pulled him today from an ancient shard. I’m bad at saving shards so I usually use them when I have them so I’m glad I got him
Great vid but I don’t have him (yet). Looking forward to Jotun build on twitch ltr 😀👍🏼 thx Mr H .
Nice guide on him. I'm curious about your claims on other videos about Gurgoh and how he doesn't need a buff.

I'm very curious how you came to the conclusion he didn't need a buff, I think he needs another buff
Looks awesome. Im about to go see what Abbess And Jotun are doing now.
I love it. Was needing someone to replace rotos in the arena
More like he'll become the new Rotos and we'll be back to square 1.
could you re do this test to show that the A2 visual change had also reduced the damage output?
Hi HH. Would love to see a guide on your favourite wet noodle Jotun since the buff. He was my first epic and way back then I knew nothing about the game but I still knew he was trash!! Cracks me up whenever you mention him in your vids! Love your content, keep it coming!!!!
Seems like the idiot of the legendaries has gone wayyyy up. He has gotten a lot better. I used to hate him in the arena till now and will hate him more now lol. Great video mate.
i was soooo close to feeding his temon ass to get another 60, so glad i held back!!
should have - he still sucks
@@shep78Gmail how
Just pulled him on a 2x event, him and dutchess is about to finish faction wars for me, so hype
I use him in silver right now with much weaker gear than that, and he still hits harder than most in the same ranking. When I saw him on the buff list I was sure he'd be useful, but I didn't expect him to become a monster.
Just pulled this guy 2 weeks ago. Very happy about that right now!
Great vid! 👍 would like to see a video for buffed abbess and Bystophus maybe? Lol
I pulled this guy about a week ago. Only my second Legendary. So nice.
Will you be doing a video on Bystophus? I know he only got a AOE change, but his move is a good debuffer at 75% to apply defense down and block cooldown. I have him and Candra so wondering who I should 6 star first.
Thinking of a duchess norog squid with krisk or madame as a go 2nd team . Will work on it over the weekend 👍
my 2nd lego ever finally has his chance to shine
I've been playing around with Bonekeeper. Her A2 hits for crazy damage also. I'd be interested to see what you can do with her in the future.
I’ve only got 3 legendaries, but I got hella lucky. My first was krisk who launched through the game, then I got candraphon, didn’t upgrade him at all, then got duchess lilitu. Now candraphons got this update I’m excited to see how far my team can go
Hey Hades, you forgot that they changed the damage reduction. It is multiplicative, not additive.
excited thanks first pulled Lego in game ftp playing almost 2months
A1 is changed. Second hit if target is buffed, instead of if target is under increase attack buff.
I haven't even watch this video and I am excited I have had this guy sitting in my volt since day 3 of playing the game. And I have a duchess that I use non-stop to pair with him
Pog Pulled a Candraphon today. My first Legendary :)
Finally a champion I have that’s usable. Out of the vault, and time to earn his keep. Just need BOOKS.
Had him as my first lego, spent time in my vault, he's no longer there he's being built to kill
@hellhades can you check out the unm cb speed... seems like unkillable skulltower isn’t working as well anymore
Hell Hades! Could you contact plarium in discord for Candraphon’s bugs? Passive is not working correctly, he gets veil buff sometimes and sometimes not when other team boosts turn meter and won't boost he's own turn meter when he takes damage from bulwark mastery.
Kassadin on meta, bois
lol
Lmao Draco popping off at 15:28

Now with buff he will be awesome, even though they keep messing with my dutchess.
Oh and how you win if you dont go first, i got dutchess and arbiter, so when they rez him.. he does his thing.
I got a new champ...but not this one 😁 elder skrag...got a lot going on so not sure how to kit hom yet. Keep the vids going 🙂 great stuff
Great video as always!
Will you doing a video on Astralith now her A2 has been buffed? I've been using her in arena a bit now and find she's really good for assassinating those high resist/defence champs! Her A3 doesn't need accuracy either, so build her for max speed/damage.
Awesome vid, could you also take a look at Belanor? Since they reworked him he no longer does his A3 on auto.
I have been using him before the buff and now he looks ridiculous in the arena. I do need to change his build but for a F2P player he's my game changer. I love the cardinal and infernal barroness options ill have to test it
His A1 was changed, it was not "any buff". It used to be extra attack on "increase attack" only. Get it right, HH.
Even before the buff I wanted this champion because I always thought he had potential (he's always had the +40% damage under veil), now he's simply very good, ... and I need someone to replace my rotos.
Now do one for Bystophis where you have to dig a hole under the vault to put him in.
Coffin Smasher passive would reduce it another 5% to 75% correct?
Hello man, any chance that you will try your Blind Seer after she was chenged so much? Maybe some new guide for her?
Sorry to ask again. Could you make an Astralith guide please? I know she doesnt seem any better, but I just cannot see how i could use her (if i should at all).
Also, how about a guide on Deathless? maybe super tanky and high resist, all allies are dead, and then big hit on his A3 (scales off DEF and number of dead allies)
Did I miss his video on how to get the most out of the forge? And things like which sets to actually craft?
Just pulled him as my first legendary this will be nice
nice vid dude!
Whoa that is nutty ...
Hello Hades can you make a spotlight for Abbess?
I saw that you are use it after the patch.
"good stalwart gear, but not like ludicrous stalwart gear"
You all thought I was crazy. I used him since March. And now, I'm not considered stupid for having or using him.
The question is is he any better than let's say skullcrown for arena nuke team if you don't have dutchess?
my big question is, candraphon or big'un as arena nuker? I pulled big'un last week in the double chard event, but suddenly my worst legendary is great.
I am so excited after watching this video my rotos still performs but not like he used to and I was missing a really good damage dealer for one of my teams in 3 V 3 now the only decision is do I take rotos's absolutely insane set of savage gear and put it on this guy and rebuild rotos. Or just run something similar like you have I just don't think I have any really good stalwart gear
I have a tip ,a hard one make a video about what champion to use to counterattack best there abilities like which is best to fight roto
Just finish FW using cheese comps and get Lydia obviously.
"Rotos no longer a thing" - @Hell Hades - Understatement of the year.
I use relentless gear on him with cruel. Thinking of farming savage for him but eith relentless I am sitting with 240 crit dmg before his buff and 90% crit. The relentless helps when you want to cast the A3 etc. Still might switch once i find better savage
Nice to own almost every champion.
*Sneaking into my vault and going to release his wrath*
Looks like Squidward got pulled of vault Guard duty. 🤣
Candyphone! Candyphone!
So Candraphon is the new Rotos...lol...way to go paylarium! Should have just buffed all champs to make them viable in certain aspects of the game. Also, I feel like they should wipe the ratings of champs they buff/nerf...so new players have a real time view of said champs.
He’s been my meta for like 6 months now lmao. Pair with Duch and two candys. Rock on 🤘
If you've used him already, you're gonna notice the improvements
My Candraphon throws out tenticles on his A2 instead of a boulder like Hells video shows. Stew has a video showing the same effect. Any idea why mine is the tenticles?
does he need to be fully booked or just to a certain point?
the astralith buff makes her a pretty good option in midlevel arena. no accuracy requirement makes her able to be built as a single target nuker with great utility for your second attacker. i know she is off most people's radars, but definitely worth a look!
I guess Darth is coming back.
welcome to the new broken champ!
Kinda wanted to see how much damage he does on a2 with the crit damage buff.
My dupe Candraphons with Kreela + freshly minted Duchess?
Just pulled him in the 2x guess ill have to get to work on building him.
What's a normal amount of damage for him to do? Mine doesn't get close to that damage
i got him today and im over the moon happy :D
