Also since Ash didn't mention it because it seems like he recorded this video a bit in advance: The new Shadowkin epic Kunoichi should be a valuable support unit for anyone who pulled her and doesn't already have a Kyoku lying around.
For anyone who doesn’t have a bunch of epics: Marauder is a rare I’m thinking could be useful. 21,810 base health as a rare! That’s more than most legendaries. Great candidate for a shield set. A1 is a stun, does AOE dec atk on A2, and also places AOE provoke and a shield and reflect dmg on all allies on A3.
I don't have that one but I do have Bloodmask he is an HP rare champion in Shadowkin. I have him in a shield set, got me through the first 6 but struggling on the boss though so. Still first six and three star on all of them isn't too bad.
Hotatsu was one of my first epics!! He carried me through sooo much content!! Was my lead in clan boss. He syncs perfectly with the boss stun every 3 turns so he cleanses it everytime it gets placed. Rockstar for sure!! Everyone will be dead but he is still there giving it his best! He was always last man standing! Glad to see him getting some love!!😊💖👍👍
I usually take a look at your guides as well as things from hellhades and then make tweaks of my own. For my gearing: Ninja has relentless and speed sets, 100 crit, 130 crit damage, 233 accuracy and 207 speed. Masamoto has resilience accuracy and speed sets to keep his accuracy high but also help out his survival, he has 200 speed, 100 crit, 102 crit damage, 152 accuracy, and 4,900 defense. Chani has a life steal and crit damge sets to help her deal damage along side the other two but stay alive too, 92 crit, 114 crit damage, 220 accuracy, 200 speed I built her in mind of her "Sureshot Passive" and with her Accuracy aura as she is the only shadowkin I own with an aura, with those two in effect she gains an extra 12% crit rate. Odachi has speed perception and resilience sets on I intended to build him similar to Masamoto as his damage is defense based but his A2 "great sword" is also important so I'm hoping that having hp% gloves on him was a good idea 20 crit, 78 crit damage, 210 speed accuracy 146. When I'm done maxing his gear his defense should be roughly 3.5 k and hp should be about 40k I don't know if I messed up ignoring the crit rate but I could definitely use insight on what I've done if you think something could be done better. Finally Fanatic has toxic and speed sets, Fanatic's A1 "Devil Hunt" allows for more uptime on 60% decrease defense outside of Ninja as they both don't have 100% chance of applying it, I put him in a toxic set with 2 things in mind, 1. his A1 requires at least 2 debuffs on a target for it to be 60% decrease instead of 30% and Chani's A1 that puts 25% poison sensitivity on a target, his gear is kind of wear I'm at a loss, I have a decent toxic set on him but his kit itself derives damage from attack, his speed is 209, 26 crit, 75 crit damgage, and his accuracy will be about 150 once I'm able to six star him and give him a banner. To be honest other than knowing I want him to attach poison with the toxic set on him so he compliments his on kit and Chani's I'm at a loss on what to do and if I should adjust him to have crit and crit damage. currently he has defense% gloves. Ninja and Masamoto are the only ones that are 6 star, the other 3 are 5 star with max Ascendance and level, so far my team has been able to cleanly get 3 stars no problem on every stage but now I'm stuck at the Stage 14 boss, not only can I not 3 star it but my team can't even complete the boss fight. I worry that because my teams lack of an actual healer that they are at the mercy of needing either more utility or more damage. between Masamoto and Odachi I have 2 solid tanks as far as I can tell but I would love some insight on what I can do with what I have as I'm 100% broke on shards because of that 10x shadowkin summons event plus being free to play lol.
I blew through the first 18 keys on Auto without anyone dying using only ungeared but ascended Shadowkin that I'd very half-assedly done things to for CvC pts/boredom along the way: Oboro (level 59, T5 masteries, all books, no gear) Toragi (level 50, no masteries, all books, no gear)/Burangiri (level 50, no masteries, all books, no gear) Yoshi (level 50, no masteries, no books, no gear) Genzin (level 58, no masteries, no books, no gear) Ninja (level 60, no masteries, no books, no gear) But now it's time to actually build somebody and do this for real. Very helpful video! Had Hotatsu and Sachi in my vault, but not on my radar.
I’m lucky enough to have Riho and I cannot wait to try her synergy with Oboro. To round out the team I’m going with Kimi, Ninja and Toragi. Can’t wait to give them a go.
Came here to say this! I've ran my Shadowkin team through most lvl 20-25 dungeons to try it and the Riho + Oboro combo is amazing for waves! Riho's aura synergizes very well with my nuker team as well: Riho, Ninja, Jintoro, Genbo & Oboro.
I legit got Ninja's A2 and 3 booked without touching his A1, so happy, he is never gonna read again! But seriously I have had the worst luck pulling Shadowkin. I have Jintoro, Ninja, Chonoru, Gory and Oboro. I never thought the rares were worth keeping, but I'll keep my eyes out for another Odachi to build out.
Ninja, Sachi, Burangiri, and Odachi would be my mainstays. Fifth slot at this point will be Lifetaker as I had her built up to put that Heal Reduction on Fire Knight when I was struggling with him.
Ninja, Gamuran, Sachi, Toragi, and Genbo Da Gizzod. IMO Gamuran is a really solid reviver option and that block skills on the A1 is ridiculous. Dont forget my man can revive.
Very interesting comment. HH said Seducer does the same block debuffs & was vital for Undead FW stage 21 during a takeover in his video 'ALL RAID VOID CHAMPIONS REVIEWED IN 30 SECONDS!' I wonder how to fit Odachi in as I have Toragi, Kinagashi, Burangiri, Hotatsu & will get Genbo from Amazon soon.
Ash the team a running currently for Shadowkin is Lady Kimi, Ninja, Burangiri, Toragi the Frog, and Fenshi. So far pretty effective made it to level 9 all 3*!
I'm lucky enough to have Riho.... so FWs done! I can add Ninja, Genbo, Jintoro, and Yoshi. Should be a breeze. I was dumb enough to build Burangiri thinking he could solo Bomell so I have him, Hotatsu, Sachi, and almost every other epic if I need more cannon fodder. I think I'm more prepared for this crypt than I was for any crypt when they released FWs. I already have Lydia but it will be nice to pick up some more rewards.
My team: Ninja hotatsu is a pain to book, but definitely worth it! I've used him everywhere. He can take a hit and hit hard if equipped right. The heal, increase defense has made him a second level damage dealer in a lot of teams. Oboro will ko an enemy, but she doesn't have aoe or team buffs. Self restore is okay, but the faction really needs a champ just for that. She's booked for tag arena. The amount of tuning I've done plummets after that. Sachi probably... but I'm not totally sold on her. Buffs allies, but aoe debuff is accuracy, while the best debuffs are vs 1 champ Burangiri at least part of the time... offers stun, strengthen and shield, but shield only gets put on allies AFTER they are damaged. Kinda makes him less useful. Odachi is probably more useful than Burangiri most of the time, but I'm still leveling him. Assassin could lead for speed, poison, and extending debuffs. He's fully booked as a rare, just need to tank him up a little. I doubt he'll make it past the 3 key level though. I really want to try him in DT, but I don't have the shield/block damage champs for that to work.
I only have 2 leggos that I’ll definitely use which is Ninja & Yoshi. I only have 3 Epics that I’ll definitely use which is Sachi, Toragi, and Hotatsu. So that’s my squad. I also have a couple of Rares (Odachi & Marauder) that I may incorporate as well but I’ll see how things go. Good vid, Ash! Thanks!
I’ve been fortunate with Shadowkin lately. My team will probably be Ninja, Jintoro, Burangiri, Hotatsu, and Masamoto. I’ve gotten dupe Hotatsu and Burangiri the last month too, so I have a couple sweet faction guardian bonuses in effect as I start the crypt.
Genzin in relentless is one of the funnest things you can do with this champion. He has turn after turn after turn haha at one point he can cycle through all his abilities in what seems like 1 big move, and all his moves combined is a 5 hitter. Built him with around 221 speed currently (not completely maxed gear). Definitely a gear set worth a try 😁
amazing guide as always thank you!!!! got a jintoro and looking forward to building him btw i'm cackling so much over the auto-generated chapter titles for the champion names PLZZZZ
My team is Lady Mikage (outfitting in damage gear 130k power), Hotatsu, Bur, the Frog, and Sachi. Gotta say even though Lady M is OP many ways I’m stuck on lvl21 and she doesn’t do enough DPS to take down the boss herself. Out of all the DPS you noted I have none lol. Though I have many good epics you noted; none support the team enough to keep Lady M alive or provide enough support DPS to assist with the boss lol got the short end of the stick when it comes to the DPS I think.
Running Genzin, Ninja, Gamuran, Hotatsu and Burangiri. Glad you framed the two epics i decided to go with. Think Gamurans passive could be clutch if both Ninja and Genzin are build for damage. Got more lego SK in 3 months than I've had skinwalker legos in 3 years (Double noble and yoshi on the bench)
I'm thinking right now my team is going to be Rhio, Ninja, Yoshi, Sachi and Toragi. On the higher levels, when they get there, I'll see how that team works, and may have to sub in Burangiri or Odachi. Unbuilt, I may have to add Hotatsu - we will see! Great coverage, thanks Ash!
While I do not have access to the test server, I was looking at a synergy between Fenshi and Toragi with Fenshi's A3 ignoring def for every poison on the enemy.
I have Ninja, Jintoro, Genbo, Sahi and Hotatsu. for my team. But with Hotatsu needing an entire library. I'm going to put him in Reflex right now. At least he'll get his abilities quicker that way
I've got ninja and gamuran from legendaries and hotatsu, sachi, chonoru and oboro from epics. Also got all the rares. Looking forward to this crypt opening tomorrow.
i haven't built anyone from the faction yet so i'm gonna test out a bunch of comps on the lower level then see what works. gonna try and incorporate at least 1 rare though ( just something i like to do for fw, helps with DT rare rooms if i've built options.) first team i'm going to try will be be ninja, nobel, burangiri, chani, assasin
I have a few couple in the faction. I'm first stab at it I ran Riho 60 perception, Ninja 60 deflection, Jintoro 60 Random Fenshi 60 Toxic, Genbo 50 Cruel/Resilience
Not a perfect team, but I got off to a decent start on the first run of the Shadowkin crypt: Ninja, Jintoro, Lady Kimi, Burangiri, and Odachi. I have Fenshi and Gory in the vault still to be built, and just pulled Oboro, so I have some other options to try out once they are built.
It amazes me that HH will still not acknowledge how awesome Hotatsu is, not only does he bring great utility but He hits like a truck with his def based damage and a def buff up. Take him to 60, feed him the crazy 15 books, you will not be disappointed.
ruclips.net/video/kizTmjsBOh0/видео.html If you go back more than 6 months like I did, make sure you try to verify or find a newer video to back up what was said then. Just from following Ash and other content creators I'd say the big tip for new players is that many champions can do their role at 50 (especially supports). There are fewer and fewer rares that should be maxed due to the ever expanding champion pool so make sure you are using your resources toward champions that are good early to mid game that can transition into endgame. Especially champions that can do multiple things (Clan boss, dungeons, campaign farmer, etc)...the more boxes they check off and the more they scale into endgame the easier it is to justify the resources spent. But in the end, have fun. If you think someone is cool, don't let everyone crap on your parade.
The best I have for shadowkin faction war crypts is Ninja, Masamoto, Chani, Odachi, and Fanatic. Those are literally the only shadowkin faction champions I have at all... I even blew all of my shards which consisted of 4 sacred, 16 void, and 40 ancient shards on this 10X event just to try and get someone else from the faction, it got me absolutely nothing for the faction. I did get Khoronar, Skullcrusher, Urogrim, and Royal guard which are all fantastic from what I understand but none of them will help me at all for Shadowkin faction. I would have loved to get Riho or Kyoku and so on lol. Being a free to play makes getting these kind of champions extremely hard, I know that 10x events don't have a good track record and I think this will be my first and last one I ever participate in especially for how long I was saving all those shards up for... Again granted I got some great champions, just not the ones that had 10x chance lol.
Interesting! I have both, use neither (yet). Was really hoping to figure out something to do with Nogdar eventually. Have 4 Burangiris, unbuilt, just giving me a faction bonus. This is a solid plan.
@@tombarros-wing1544 if you have godseeker, she would also pair well. Occasionally Nogdar leaves himself open and can be killed without revive. Someone else had mentioned Sachi as well.
@@markmarlatt1105 Oh cool. I have Godseeker and use her a lot. Very interesting. Glad people are experimenting with Nogdar. I love those unusual champs that people tend to hate on.
I just blew through my first 7 3-star. Ninja carry. I have him built in the relentless set? He literally 1 shotted waves all the way through. Next time it comes around I'll start at 8 and move fowrward. I have a fairly okay team too. Ninja, Fenshi, Hotatsu (lead), Toragi the Frog, and Jurojin.
Looks like shadowkin are the new dwarves for boss headaches. No real revive and boss can one shot. For this ally protect, att down, and strengthen are our best friend. Shield and heals to protect and recover from the hits
i just pulled Riho in the 10x yesterday thank goodness and yay! :) so my team is likely going to be Yoshi, Ninja, Riho, Burangiri & Masamoto. before watching this video, i was going to use Oboro instead of Masamoto, but i'm hoping/thinking that Masamoto will be a better choice because he'll be easier to keep alive witht he rest of the team since i don't have a revive champion & of course i really want to 3 star this crypt. i'm kind of behind on getting everybody ready because i had so many other priorities in the game, so am now scrambing to get scrolls & gear for Masamoto & Yoshi. i just need gear for Riho cuz i went & gemmed up her scrolles yesterday in my excitement, which i haven't done since i pulled my first Frankie over a year ago, lol. i have a feeling she's worth it. :) any suggestions on gear for Yoshi & Masamoto by the way? i'm thinking Perception or just Speed for Riho.
I've been prepping for this faction a long time ago. I'm going to do Ninja dmg dealer Genzin def down plus dmg dealer Hotatsu and Toragi for support Jurojin as the 5th guy Hotatsu with his leech should mean I don't need to build Sachi though I like her thicc bumbum
For me I will be running NInja, Hotatsu, Oboro, Fenshi, and Chonoboro or Gory as my last champ since I have no others. It feels like such a weird team because all of them except for Hotatsu is an attack type champion and since I have no revivers, I am I little worried it will be hard to three star a lot of the higher up missions. Also how come he didn't do gory? I think he might be viable, especially since ninja and him will place freezes which enhances his own abilities + a heal on himself as an attack to stay alive.
Got my Kyoku all ready and gears being rolled during these events. I have ninja to bring up to 60 too.. & to think I was honestly thinking about using him as a chicken or book when first released lol
I have Odachi on lvl 40 with a max ascending, but I can't get to lvl 50... Does it really matter if i should get him on a lvl 50 or is he still powerful on lvl 40.?
Ok. I have built out masemoto, toragi, burangiri, nobel and ninja. That's my squad. Wish you'd done this guide sooner man. I have hotatsu at 50. I would have maxed him instead of masemoto
Bummer about the covid dude, my wife had it back in Nov '20 and was sick for 2 weeks, hope yours is milder. Even though I was her primary caregiver, I never contracted it, guess it just doesn't find me to be appetizing.
I'm going Riho (L) - Ninja - Oboro - Genbo - Fenshi I have Hotasu but he's not built because I have better champions elsewhere. The other three Epics I already use in other roles and Obviously Riho and Ninja are no brainers
Sorry to hear you are Covid positive and isolated. Get well soon, Ash. I've been fortunate and avoided Covid - vaccine might have helped. Also, being housbound, except in emergencies - been that way since 2016 as disabled. Anyway, yesterday during CvC, I pulled Kyoku CvC from a Sacred - she was a dream along with Riho (still searching for latter - Void 2x?). So, team will be: Yoshi, Kyoku, Ninja and Toragi + Sachi. Options built include: Odachi, Fenshi, and maybe Chani forA3 (and her Dune reminiscent name).
I think the best thing I'll be the doing for the faction is feeding Nobel to Ninja to empower him, lol. Got Ninja & Burangeri maxed, and Hotatsu will get leveled up soon. I'm sucking elsewhere in the faction, still no Toragi.
Well, let's see... Kyoku and Ninja are givens for me. Both are fully maxed (not fully booked yet, I'm f2p) so theyll be carrying my team for quite awhile. I have Odachi, but I haven't done anything with him. I have Chonoru...who's not all that good. Besides that?...well...nothing really.
I will use the only interesting ones I have: Ninja, Toragi, Burangiri. Ninja is already Fully booked, and 60 Toragi is fully booked, but lvl 1. Burangiri not booked, but 6*. Those 3 champs should get me far I think.
I personally love fenshi and have him maxed with books, so he's on my teamsheet. He's a scarab and fire knight god. And I jut know he can help with fw boss
Congrats on getting out of Covid jail. Unfortunately I'm still in it. I'm waiting patiently to get retested so I can go back to work. Unfortunately there's so many cases the line is a mile long.
Hey buddy I hope you get well soon, to not be able to see the people who you love is really hard. My prayers go out to you and your family. I was hoping that you could do a video for New players about what EACH debuff and buff do. . . . . I don't understand how certain ones work, such as FEAR and True FEAR, I would really like to have u explain how these and other mechanics work. Thank you!!
I just got genzin from a random ancient shard pull :)) And in the last 3 weeks I had to isolate 2 times few days because first time I was in contact with someone who tested positive, and 2 weeks later the people that I live with in the house,they all got covid. Luckily, I was negative both times,but i spend 8 days in my room in the last 3 weeks and I was going crazy.
Yo Ash! Only been playing for less than a month (solidly; signed up a long while ago) and getting that first 6 star is rough my guy... I've watched all your beginner guides, what monsters i should level to start with but bro... still kinda rough on a free to play account :( Came from Summoners War and honestly both these games seem to have terrible monster/champion drop rates... super spikey drop rates :/ obviously they want you to buy their ish but you know...
I got ninja genzin yoshi jurojin gory hotatsu burangiri toragi, so very annoying which to use. Since burangiri was one of my first heroes hes the only one with ninja thats actually build and yoshi is +1 so might use him too. And then you get hotatsu and genzin.

For anyone who doesn’t have a bunch of epics: Marauder is a rare I’m thinking could be useful. 21,810 base health as a rare! That’s more than most legendaries. Great candidate for a shield set. A1 is a stun, does AOE dec atk on A2, and also places AOE provoke and a shield and reflect dmg on all allies on A3.
I also use them in Green Rare, and Rare HP secret rooms.
I don't have that one but I do have Bloodmask he is an HP rare champion in Shadowkin. I have him in a shield set, got me through the first 6 but struggling on the boss though so. Still first six and three star on all of them isn't too bad.

Gamuran is an amazing reviver! You forgot about that. Then burungari with guardian set is a must. They die, he heals, he protects, gamuran revives…
I usually take a look at your guides as well as things from hellhades and then make tweaks of my own. For my gearing:

I blew through the first 18 keys on Auto without anyone dying using only ungeared but ascended Shadowkin that I'd very half-assedly done things to for CvC pts/boredom along the way:
Oboro (level 59, T5 masteries, all books, no gear)
Toragi (level 50, no masteries, all books, no gear)/Burangiri (level 50, no masteries, all books, no gear)
Yoshi (level 50, no masteries, no books, no gear)
Genzin (level 58, no masteries, no books, no gear)
Ninja (level 60, no masteries, no books, no gear)
But now it's time to actually build somebody and do this for real. Very helpful video! Had Hotatsu and Sachi in my vault, but not on my radar.
Ooh, just pulled Genbo. Neat.
I’m lucky enough to have Riho and I cannot wait to try her synergy with Oboro. To round out the team I’m going with Kimi, Ninja and Toragi. Can’t wait to give them a go.

I have Jintoro, Ninja, Chonoru, Gory and Oboro. I never thought the rares were worth keeping, but I'll keep my eyes out for another Odachi to build out.
This is my most stacked faction ninja,two toragis, hot, fenshi, mosemoto, and lady kimi
Ninja, Sachi, Burangiri, and Odachi would be my mainstays. Fifth slot at this point will be Lifetaker as I had her built up to put that Heal Reduction on Fire Knight when I was struggling with him.
Im so glad you mention hotatsu he one of my favs ive had and use him since early game he is so good
Ninja, Gamuran, Sachi, Toragi, and Genbo Da Gizzod. IMO Gamuran is a really solid reviver option and that block skills on the A1 is ridiculous. Dont forget my man can revive.
If you don't have Riho then Odachi is going to be a must. The boss does the true fear and stun move.
Very interesting comment. HH said Seducer does the same block debuffs & was vital for Undead FW stage 21 during a takeover in his video 'ALL RAID VOID CHAMPIONS REVIEWED IN 30 SECONDS!'
I wonder how to fit Odachi in as I have Toragi, Kinagashi, Burangiri, Hotatsu & will get Genbo from Amazon soon.
Ash the team a running currently for Shadowkin is Lady Kimi, Ninja, Burangiri, Toragi the Frog, and Fenshi. So far pretty effective made it to level 9 all 3*!
Nice! 👍🏼
I'm lucky enough to have Riho.... so FWs done! I can add Ninja, Genbo, Jintoro, and Yoshi. Should be a breeze. I was dumb enough to build Burangiri thinking he could solo Bomell so I have him, Hotatsu, Sachi, and almost every other epic if I need more cannon fodder. I think I'm more prepared for this crypt than I was for any crypt when they released FWs. I already have Lydia but it will be nice to pick up some more rewards.
Pulled Hotatsu today, and I had a Burangiri he is so good dude ,happy to hear the work wel together
My team:
Ninja
hotatsu is a pain to book, but definitely worth it! I've used him everywhere. He can take a hit and hit hard if equipped right.
The heal, increase defense has made him a second level damage dealer in a lot of teams.
Oboro will ko an enemy, but she doesn't have aoe or team buffs. Self restore is okay, but the faction really needs a champ just for that. She's booked for tag arena.

I really want to try him in DT, but I don't have the shield/block damage champs for that to work.
I only have 2 leggos that I’ll definitely use which is Ninja & Yoshi. I only have 3 Epics that I’ll definitely use which is Sachi, Toragi, and Hotatsu. So that’s my squad. I also have a couple of Rares (Odachi & Marauder) that I may incorporate as well but I’ll see how things go. Good vid, Ash! Thanks!
Ninja, Yoshi, Jintoro, Genzin, and Hotatsu.
Been pretty blessed with shadowkin champs
I’ve been fortunate with Shadowkin lately. My team will probably be Ninja, Jintoro, Burangiri, Hotatsu, and Masamoto. I’ve gotten dupe Hotatsu and Burangiri the last month too, so I have a couple sweet faction guardian bonuses in effect as I start the crypt.

Built him with around 221 speed currently (not completely maxed gear). Definitely a gear set worth a try 😁
Ooh, nice idea. I just got and 6-starred mine, but didn't gear him yet. I'll try this!
I think that considering the importance of not dying in FW, you have overlooked the potential value of JUROJIN in a Shield Set.
amazing guide as always thank you!!!! got a jintoro and looking forward to building him
btw i'm cackling so much over the auto-generated chapter titles for the champion names PLZZZZ
Been watching your videos every day. This is the best you’ve sounded. Glad you’re better. I feel ya about missions your kids too.
Thanks David. Finally got to see my kiddo. ❤️
My team is Lady Mikage (outfitting in damage gear 130k power), Hotatsu, Bur, the Frog, and Sachi. Gotta say even though Lady M is OP many ways I’m stuck on lvl21 and she doesn’t do enough DPS to take down the boss herself. Out of all the DPS you noted I have none lol. Though I have many good epics you noted; none support the team enough to keep Lady M alive or provide enough support DPS to assist with the boss lol got the short end of the stick when it comes to the DPS I think.
Running Genzin, Ninja, Gamuran, Hotatsu and Burangiri. Glad you framed the two epics i decided to go with. Think Gamurans passive could be clutch if both Ninja and Genzin are build for damage. Got more lego SK in 3 months than I've had skinwalker legos in 3 years (Double noble and yoshi on the bench)
I'm thinking right now my team is going to be Rhio, Ninja, Yoshi, Sachi and Toragi. On the higher levels, when they get there, I'll see how that team works, and may have to sub in Burangiri or Odachi. Unbuilt, I may have to add Hotatsu - we will see! Great coverage, thanks Ash!
While I do not have access to the test server, I was looking at a synergy between Fenshi and Toragi with Fenshi's A3 ignoring def for every poison on the enemy.
Pronunciation time Ash! Genbo is pronounced with a hard G at the start (like 'get'), not a soft G (as in 'generation')
We all now saying these names is my weakness lol 🙈
I have Ninja, Jintoro, Genbo, Sahi and Hotatsu. for my team. But with Hotatsu needing an entire library. I'm going to put him in Reflex right now. At least he'll get his abilities quicker that way
Is there anyway to stop bluestacks from randomly opening up the App Store and pausing raid? TYIA
I've got ninja and gamuran from legendaries and hotatsu, sachi, chonoru and oboro from epics. Also got all the rares. Looking forward to this crypt opening tomorrow.
This how an angel cry’s! LMAO That song will always remind me of the “Always be my maybe” Movie
I hope you feel better amigo. Covid is no joke. Sending good vibes your way
i haven't built anyone from the faction yet so i'm gonna test out a bunch of comps on the lower level then see what works. gonna try and incorporate at least 1 rare though ( just something i like to do for fw, helps with DT rare rooms if i've built options.) first team i'm going to try will be be ninja, nobel, burangiri, chani, assasin
I have a few couple in the faction. I'm first stab at it I ran
Riho 60 perception, Ninja 60 deflection, Jintoro 60 Random
Fenshi 60 Toxic, Genbo 50 Cruel/Resilience
Not a perfect team, but I got off to a decent start on the first run of the Shadowkin crypt: Ninja, Jintoro, Lady Kimi, Burangiri, and Odachi. I have Fenshi and Gory in the vault still to be built, and just pulled Oboro, so I have some other options to try out once they are built.
It amazes me that HH will still not acknowledge how awesome Hotatsu is, not only does he bring great utility but He hits like a truck with his def based damage and a def buff up. Take him to 60, feed him the crazy 15 books, you will not be disappointed.
Hello! What do you think about Gore? Thanx for all ur content!!
Which video of yours do you recommend as a first watch to someone who is starting on the game?
Probably the newest version of his beginners guide. I think his most recent one was made a week or 2 ago.
ruclips.net/video/kizTmjsBOh0/видео.html
If you go back more than 6 months like I did, make sure you try to verify or find a newer video to back up what was said then.
Just from following Ash and other content creators I'd say the big tip for new players is that many champions can do their role at 50 (especially supports).
There are fewer and fewer rares that should be maxed due to the ever expanding champion pool so make sure you are using your resources toward champions that are good early to mid game that can transition into endgame. Especially champions that can do multiple things (Clan boss, dungeons, campaign farmer, etc)...the more boxes they check off and the more they scale into endgame the easier it is to justify the resources spent.
But in the end, have fun. If you think someone is cool, don't let everyone crap on your parade.
The best I have for shadowkin faction war crypts is Ninja, Masamoto, Chani, Odachi, and Fanatic. Those are literally the only shadowkin faction champions I have at all... I even blew all of my shards which consisted of 4 sacred, 16 void, and 40 ancient shards on this 10X event just to try and get someone else from the faction, it got me absolutely nothing for the faction. I did get Khoronar, Skullcrusher, Urogrim, and Royal guard which are all fantastic from what I understand but none of them will help me at all for Shadowkin faction. I would have loved to get Riho or Kyoku and so on lol. Being a free to play makes getting these kind of champions extremely hard, I know that 10x events don't have a good track record and I think this will be my first and last one I ever participate in especially for how long I was saving all those shards up for... Again granted I got some great champions, just not the ones that had 10x chance lol.
Still wanting you to pair your nogdar with Burangiri! It's fun watching him heal himself everytime Nog dies.
Interesting! I have both, use neither (yet). Was really hoping to figure out something to do with Nogdar eventually. Have 4 Burangiris, unbuilt, just giving me a faction bonus. This is a solid plan.
@@tombarros-wing1544 if you have godseeker, she would also pair well. Occasionally Nogdar leaves himself open and can be killed without revive. Someone else had mentioned Sachi as well.
@@tombarros-wing1544 I have played with Nogdar as a stun target for cb. His low health almost guarantees he is the target from the start.
@@markmarlatt1105 Oh cool. I have Godseeker and use her a lot. Very interesting. Glad people are experimenting with Nogdar. I love those unusual champs that people tend to hate on.
@@tombarros-wing1544 I pulled him on day 3 of a new account. Not able to really expirement much at that point.
Gamuran is one of those reviver champs who will bring your champ back if a enemy is killed on a one turn cool down if booked
LET'S GOOO MAN literally just got Hotatsu this morning :'D how do you build him, just tanky with acc or he has some specific gear ?
Thanks for your video and recommendation. I think my team will be: Hotatsu, Burangiri, Genzin, Lady Kimi and Ninja~
I just blew through my first 7 3-star. Ninja carry. I have him built in the relentless set? He literally 1 shotted waves all the way through. Next time it comes around I'll start at 8 and move fowrward. I have a fairly okay team too. Ninja, Fenshi, Hotatsu (lead), Toragi the Frog, and Jurojin.
Will Yoshis increase acc buff count towards Channis crit rate?
Looks like shadowkin are the new dwarves for boss headaches. No real revive and boss can one shot. For this ally protect, att down, and strengthen are our best friend. Shield and heals to protect and recover from the hits
Appreciate the "level up to lv 50 is enough" tips!
i just pulled Riho in the 10x yesterday thank goodness and yay! :) so my team is likely going to be Yoshi, Ninja, Riho, Burangiri & Masamoto. before watching this video, i was going to use Oboro instead of Masamoto, but i'm hoping/thinking that Masamoto will be a better choice because he'll be easier to keep alive witht he rest of the team since i don't have a revive champion & of course i really want to 3 star this crypt. i'm kind of behind on getting everybody ready because i had so many other priorities in the game, so am now scrambing to get scrolls & gear for Masamoto & Yoshi. i just need gear for Riho cuz i went & gemmed up her scrolles yesterday in my excitement, which i haven't done since i pulled my first Frankie over a year ago, lol. i have a feeling she's worth it. :) any suggestions on gear for Yoshi & Masamoto by the way? i'm thinking Perception or just Speed for Riho.
what about working Gory with Ninja? I also put the frog in Frost gear since he has the provoke. So Gory is doing all of his kit
I've been prepping for this faction a long time ago. I'm going to do
Ninja dmg dealer
Genzin def down plus dmg dealer
Hotatsu and Toragi for support
Jurojin as the 5th guy
Hotatsu with his leech should mean I don't need to build Sachi though I like her thicc bumbum
For me I will be running NInja, Hotatsu, Oboro, Fenshi, and Chonoboro or Gory as my last champ since I have no others. It feels like such a weird team because all of them except for Hotatsu is an attack type champion and since I have no revivers, I am I little worried it will be hard to three star a lot of the higher up missions. Also how come he didn't do gory? I think he might be viable, especially since ninja and him will place freezes which enhances his own abilities + a heal on himself as an attack to stay alive.
Got my Kyoku all ready and gears being rolled during these events. I have ninja to bring up to 60 too.. & to think I was honestly thinking about using him as a chicken or book when first released lol
I have Odachi on lvl 40 with a max ascending, but I can't get to lvl 50... Does it really matter if i should get him on a lvl 50 or is he still powerful on lvl 40.?
Ok. I have built out masemoto, toragi, burangiri, nobel and ninja. That's my squad. Wish you'd done this guide sooner man. I have hotatsu at 50.
I would have maxed him instead of masemoto
The best I got is Ninja & 4 Odachi.
Bummer about the covid dude, my wife had it back in Nov '20 and was sick for 2 weeks, hope yours is milder. Even though I was her primary caregiver, I never contracted it, guess it just doesn't find me to be appetizing.
Ninja, Yoshi, Riho, Genzin and probably Sachi or Burangiri, depending on how much shielding ill need
Im planing to run ninja, toragi, burangiri, gory and maybe your favorite vagabond
I'm using chani/odachi/toragi/sachi and ninja as my team, chani in the lead to boost toragi's accuracy for the provoke.
Ninja and Lady kimi will definitely be on my team, have a few nice epics including toragi that will join them.
Hey ash, I hope everything is okay? Great video and I think we're all mostly looking forward to the shadowkin faction opening!
Little stir crazy from quarantine and missing my kiddo but otherwise I’m good. Hope you’re doing great
What's the deal with the faction wars schedule after they added shadowkin? Skinwalker shows 1w 1d?
I'm going
Riho (L) - Ninja - Oboro - Genbo - Fenshi
I have Hotasu but he's not built because I have better champions elsewhere.
The other three Epics I already use in other roles and Obviously Riho and Ninja are no brainers
I love the John Mulaney sound cut.
My team: 60 Genzin, 60 Hotatsu, 60 Toragi, 50 Oboro, 50 Burangiri
Sorry to hear you are Covid positive and isolated. Get well soon, Ash. I've been fortunate and avoided Covid - vaccine might have helped. Also, being housbound, except in emergencies - been that way since 2016 as disabled.
Anyway, yesterday during CvC, I pulled Kyoku CvC from a Sacred - she was a dream along with Riho (still searching for latter - Void 2x?). So, team will be: Yoshi, Kyoku, Ninja and Toragi + Sachi. Options built include: Odachi, Fenshi, and maybe Chani forA3 (and her Dune reminiscent name).
Lucky enough to be able to run Hotatsu, Burangiri, Odachi, Jintoro and Ninja. Should see me a good way in pretty quickly
Nice!
My team will be Kyoku, Ninja, Hotatsu, Burangiri and maybe Oboro or Genbo.
I think the best thing I'll be the doing for the faction is feeding Nobel to Ninja to empower him, lol. Got Ninja & Burangeri maxed, and Hotatsu will get leveled up soon. I'm sucking elsewhere in the faction, still no Toragi.
I have only ninja leggo wise but 2x hotatsu,burangiri,the frog and most of the other epics no genbo though.
I plan to run all legendaries as I have Jintoro, Ninja, Lady Kimi, Kyoku and Gamuran all levelled to 6 stars.
My teams gonna be Ninja, Hotatsu, Yoshi, Genbo, & Toragi. With odachi on the sidelines if needed
Well, let's see...
Kyoku and Ninja are givens for me. Both are fully maxed (not fully booked yet, I'm f2p) so theyll be carrying my team for quite awhile. I have Odachi, but I haven't done anything with him. I have Chonoru...who's not all that good. Besides that?...well...nothing really.
I've got Ninja, Yoshi, Toragi, Hotatsu, and Burangiri. . . Think I'll be ok for the FW :)
Think I’m limited to kyoku ninja genbo toragi and burangiri lol, let’s see how this goes
Na gamuran is solid man especially being the only revive champion in shadowkin and that a3 could help against that blue boss if needed
I will use the only interesting ones I have:
Ninja, Toragi, Burangiri.
Ninja is already Fully booked, and 60
Toragi is fully booked, but lvl 1.
Burangiri not booked, but 6*.
Those 3 champs should get me far I think.
I pulled kyoku with this recent 10x's event they are running!
Sweet!
Riho, Jintoro, Ninja, frog man, and then a open spot. We'll see :)
I personally love fenshi and have him maxed with books, so he's on my teamsheet. He's a scarab and fire knight god. And I jut know he can help with fw boss
Congrats on getting out of Covid jail. Unfortunately I'm still in it. I'm waiting patiently to get retested so I can go back to work. Unfortunately there's so many cases the line is a mile long.
Ninja, Oboro, Sachi, burangiri and hotatsu
Hurting for Shadowkin champs a bit. I'm gonna start with Ninja, Sachi, Oboro, Hotatsu, Burangiri.
Hey buddy I hope you get well soon, to not be able to see the people who you love is really hard. My prayers go out to you and your family. I was hoping that you could do a video for New players about what EACH debuff and buff do. . . . . I don't understand how certain ones work, such as FEAR and True FEAR, I would really like to have u explain how these and other mechanics work. Thank you!!
I go through the first 6 I believe but boss is a no go until I get a healer or revive on death pref both but yeah.
Right now my team is looking like ninja, Kimi, toragi + kunoichi full team ally protect, and masamoto for a little extra survivability
I just got genzin from a random ancient shard pull :))
And in the last 3 weeks I had to isolate 2 times few days because first time I was in contact with someone who tested positive, and 2 weeks later the people that I live with in the house,they all got covid. Luckily, I was negative both times,but i spend 8 days in my room in the last 3 weeks and I was going crazy.
Hotatsu is incredible in Clan Boss (up to NM at least) - Leech, Dec ATK, Inc Def
worth noting his passive cleanses the CB's stun too
@@weggles91 He's my CB lead tuned slowest in the team and 99% the stun target, then He just shrugs it off when his turn comes around.
Yo Ash! Only been playing for less than a month (solidly; signed up a long while ago) and getting that first 6 star is rough my guy... I've watched all your beginner guides, what monsters i should level to start with but bro... still kinda rough on a free to play account :( Came from Summoners War and honestly both these games seem to have terrible monster/champion drop rates... super spikey drop rates :/ obviously they want you to buy their ish but you know...
Welcome to the game and the channel Wesley
Ash, you good bro? You looks exhausted? COVID is pretty rough.
My best team is going to be Ninja, Yoshi, Sachi, Oboro and Hotatsu. Right now I only have Ninja at 60. Might get one more to 60, I don't know.
I got ninja genzin yoshi jurojin gory hotatsu burangiri toragi, so very annoying which to use.
Since burangiri was one of my first heroes hes the only one with ninja thats actually build and yoshi is +1 so might use him too.
And then you get hotatsu and genzin.
Is gory any good?
Love Your Stuff Man!
Thanks! Appreciate you watching
Finally! So glad they added it
👍🏼
When you somehow have all 3 of the thumbnail champions
👀
Speedy recovery bro
