Just wanted to say Ash, dealing with a lot at home with my father, won’t go into details but it’s mostly mental health related. And I just wanted to say I appreciate your intros more than you know. Watching your videos really help me turn my brain off for a little. And your positive words are always appreciated.
Right off the bat I see Julianna. She's a machine though. Not top teir sure. But hp burn, poison, buff removal. Just saying she was a hard carry for a while for me.
Exactly. She may not be the best, but she's more than usable, even without books. Definitely above average and does not deserve Ash's slander. So many epics that are downright unusable that are worse.
No point trying to get her now Plarium has given Ninja away to nearly everyone again with the hailburn ability also giving a veil and he does good damage throughout without even need to book him, and then there are many other better options for poison and buff removal as well.
Remember, some of these champs have been in the game for 5 plus years. A lot has changed since that time. Some were very positively because of certain strats and team ups that were almost necessary when the game was in it's early days. Now, the sheer number of champs now in the game, the power creep of these new champs and changes that the game has undergone, these are no longer viable or at least, not very efficient. Also, some champs that have been buffed, are also undervalued due to old ratings on in the database.
I use him, he's not a heavy damage dealer, but built for hp/def/resist and he can do some work. Also, his A2 drops any champ it hits to 50% health, which is good for dealing with some of the high hp champions
Great list, Ash. Crazy thing about Krakoth, I solo`d Soul Cross Sand Devil with her last round. Took about an hour, but the only champion I had under the restrictions that could do it 😊
Juliana is solid if you pull her early. She will be your clan boss carry for a long time. Also solid In Dragon. She falls off in the late to end game but still can be used.
Unfortunately, Plarium nudges you to build out some of these bad epics to clear content. As for Relic Keeper, I use fused copies of him for books and empowerment as I get more doubles for faction guardians so not much of a loss there.
Thank you for the video! Unrelated, I'm desperate for a video going over each gear set in detail explaining which areas of the game to use and types of champs (and examples) who would/wouldn't benefit form it. And explaining which stats/substats are best for each set (I know, some are obvious, but others are not). Also, I'm a huge gear hoarder so would love more gear cleanse videos, long detailed ones, especially f2p friendly :)
1. Bushi's passive can be used to solo sand devil in regen gear 2. I had leveled Snorting Thug to level 50 and used him for magic keep for a long long time - dealing with that shield can be difficult for some early level players - he will always have a special place in my account, I probably will never 6 star him ... but he is also very good anti-paragon to stack high enough accuracy for someone who is beginner or low to mid level 3. Scion I agree with for when you get him as a free login champ, that 100% heal reduction can be good for Amius The rest of these I totally agree with - I'm too lazy to look for 3 epics to replace them, but I'm sure there are plenty out there I've never leveled that can take their place!
My Thug is 60 6* blessed and the core my magic keep and any content where there are magic buffers and he just countered every ice golem counter my team was hit with That'll teach him not to have buffs for the thug to steal The others I took to 40 so I'm probably leaving them vaulted
Missionary with his heal block debuff has gotten me through alot of battles with ultimate death knight. You need to use all the books to get it to a 3 turn cool down on humble the faithless and for masteries the support tree to get a chance at a 3 turn heal block. There are alot of regenerating champions and gear in this game far more then available champs with heal block. I use him alot. Perfect for those people who put UDK with Regen gear alone in Arena to frustrate people.
@@jamesgish9202 100% heal reduction debuff that Missionary has. I have a couple others that have this ability now too but this was my first one that could do this. Prevents UDK from regenerating. Book it up you can get it on a 3 turn cool down. With masteries in the support tree choose the mastery of 30% chance to extend debuff to 3 turns. Still not always easy to take UDK down if combined with certain other champions, like Revivers, veil, or block damage champs. Need to also add alot of accuracy to missionary. You can also use Sun Wukong to sheep UDT down to 50% HP first, then hit him with Missionary. Does not always work but took me from near 0% chance against UDT to beatable unless other champs around him also have annoying abilities. Not enough champs that have abilities to counter these things with some of these champs almost unbeatable. Only champ I have that can block revive is uncommon and only have one rare that can ignore block damage buffs. Sun Wukong and a few others can remove buffs if timed at the right time and resistance is overcome.
So I *have* invested in Ursine Icecrusher, and while he's not an amazing Champion, he is sturdy, and helpful in Faction Wars and in events that limit your choices. I wouldn't give him a priority, of course, especially if you have other, better Champions... But let's remember many of us don't HAVE a stable of OP, elite-geared Champions! Same for Juliana: if you don't pull very often (like me!) and you don't get great Champions (of any grade), she's not *terrible.* I pulled Bushi recently and was disappointed. Yes: Yaga, Scion, Reinbeast, Pitiless One, Lady Eresh... all are terrible and sitting in the vault. My team was killed by Relickeeper when I was starting out, and I thought he was good--but now I have him and you're right, he's not. Gonna agree on Tolf--and really, any Epic who has only three skills! What the hell is THAT about? I would absolutely pay you to work your magic on buffing these Champs!
There are plenty of 3 skill epics that are good. Unless you count having an aura as a skill, then yeah the only ones I can think if are Stag Knight and Fenax.
Speaking of Gurgoh the Augur. A clanmate of mine pulled him in the 2x. I told him he sucks, pulled 20 more shards and he pulled a Cardiel and Graazur. Edit: 5:53 I hate his twin brother's name, Missionary.
This video was absolutely hilarious. The reaction to Warden was priceless 🤣 I agree with this entire list though. I literally keep single copies in my vault strictly as a collector, and any other copies I pull become sacrificial lambs
When I first started relickeeper was actually my nuker in arena. I was always happy when the enemy had magic champion. I've gotten way better since then.
OK.. Tolfy got a Phantom solo video from Hell Hades about two months ago. Something about not able to crit meaning not able weak hit either.. That said i'm thinking a fair warning is that with endgame gear sets you can pretty much solo a bunch of content. But maybe that should be a video series of it's own, trying to solo some juicy stuff with CC's god tier gear sets. How about a top 10-20 solo champion showcase to get the community juices flowing 😊? Where them solo champion ranking vids at 🤷♀️.. P.S. Ash you should maybe form a bad lvl 60 epic support group for all the Fearmongerers and trusty Yaga buiders out there. It really is a rough road walk on. Spread the love. The opposite of rough is a buff 💔❤️
Been playing Raid since fall of 2019 so some of these champs I pulled and leveled up from 1) not knowing better 2) not having better options. What’s crazy is I still use them for Faction Wars as secondary or tertiary DPS: Sharpshooter, Relickeeper, and Pitiless One.
3:36 Wait until Ash sees the old video posted about how Tolf solo's phantom shogun XD I think it was HH who made the video, but since I followed that guide, he is now useable!
My Sacred order secret room had no chance for a long time where I had the bad half of those epics. My top 2 might have been Sanguina and Mistress of Hyms at one point. Finally after over a year I pulled Godseeker randomly off a void and 2 Deacon Armstrongs off prism shards. Hope and Canoness I never got use from. I have fed like 2 Adriels since Relikeeper has filled up most my faction guardians. I was able to +2 empower my Juliana. She has beem useful in Cursed city frost spider. Quickly on lizards I Was pissed I pulled Drake off prism shards that I ginded d divers to 5000. I have to be careful about how many bad champs they sneak into prism shard events lol
Pitiless one is a great early to mid game champ. He cycles his AoE so fast that he isn't half bad. He has so much chance to stun if you put him in stun set. Good fast campaign farmer, good for normal fire knight to take down the shield. Good for wave based content. Juliana is another one. Talk about a solid CB champ. Would take her over any trash from the bottom list any day. There are far more awful champs for sure. Like for example Suwai firstborn, Alaric the hooded, Fearmonger, Chancellor Yasmin, Lordly Legionary, Gerhard the stone, Marksman, Jinglehunter, Baroth the bloodsoaked, Jotunn, Lorn the cutter, Galkut, Snorting thug, Flesh-Tearer, Ripper, Yaga, Defiled sinner, Balthus, Karam, Hexia, etc ABSOLUTE TRASH THIS LOT and this is just the tip of the iceberg.
Chancellor Yasmin was the only reason I 3 starred 21, 75% chance of removing all buffs, plus sleep, a chunky single target heal on a 2 turn cd She's not anywhere near as bad as some of these champs
i disagree with terrorbeast. the 2 turn stun sure on a 4 turn cooldown but for 2 turns its a rare thing to find in raid, and can completely lock out an enemy plus does a fair bit of damage with good survivability
I swear I started watching the worst 20 vid from a year ago, and i quit like 2 min in because i realized it was old. Then you drop this an hour ago, as if you read my mind. I think i legally have to sub now 😂
@ *Ash, hi Ash, one question! I think the same. Thats also my opinion, but please tell me really one thing, which Beasts would you use together with Packmaster Shy'ek? Ok, Terrorbeast is trash, but which Beasts are no trash? Becsuse, you know that Shy'eks passive is that if he is beeing attacked, all ally Beasts (all 4) gonna attack the target who was attacking Shy'ek, as protection to their Packmaster! He is the alpha of all Beasts, but what are the right Beasts for this Action?* *but please tell me not only an option, but also your personal opinion! Which Beasts would you really use, if you want to play with Shy'ek?*
when I started playing RAID some years ago I saw this video from you where you brought exactly that sentence: "why does Frostbringer not have Freeze?". I still know like it was yesterday. I laughed my ass off....and fully agreed.
I know I am late to the party here BUT. Tolf the maimed's A1 is always a "normal" hit, so can't crit and can't be weak. So you can use him the same way we do Gnarhorn for Shogun. Not saying he is great but at least he has SOME, kind of usage. Gnarlhorn can also aoe taunt and get unkillable, but hey lets ignore that part. What frostbringer have going for her is the fact that there are not a lot of heal reduction for that rotation of Amius, so yeah I saved her and I will build her whenever I can start ty even attempt Amius normal.
What to do with Yaga when you have a dearth of Skinwalker champions for Faction Wars? Well first I had to stop thinking of Sangria, then look him up online and give enough artifacts, etc to use him while still hoping for much better and keeping him away from any books or masteries. Unfortunately the next one I got was Drake...which was enough to make me think more about the sangria. 😂
Please check Lady Eresh again: 1) you build her with 100% crit rate 2) she buffs herself with increased attack and crit damage 3) AOE with 20% extra turn and turn meter fill 4) in case of extra turn goes with double hit and weaken 5) with low health goes to perfect veil, which is not as good as unkilable on skullcrown, but still can help and save her 6) you build her in crushing rend + savage and she is a monster 💀
Julianna was my go to for CB for a long time. Had her in some top notch gear at the time and she pulled her weight. Now yeah she sits in my vault just in case they buff her. And Tolf I have always thought ppl should give him a chance. Yeah you have to build him right and he has a bit of a niche use case but he does have a spot in list.
I don't think it redeems them enough to take them off the list by any means, but Frostbringer is a decent option for Wixwell CB teams for increase speed because she also brings decrease defense and increase attack. I use her in my Wixwell team. Bushi also has CB use. I used to have an unkillable CB team that my stun target would either be Torturehelm or Bushi, depending on affinity.
Thanks Ash I pulled thr Augur the other day, but my void shards redeemed itself by giving me the Grail Bearer from Sylvan watchers when she was in the 10x a few wks ago.
As much as it hurts, i have to agree about Juliana. I still use her for faction crypts and here and there depending on limitations in doom tower secret rooms or cursed city...she needs a buff. Absolute cb monster back in the day though.
I have a "void only" account, and Tolf the Maimed is a tank that can solo almost everything. True he can never crit on any hit but.... he can also NEVER weak hit.
Ragging on Gurgoh as worst void legendary when Supreme Athel is right there. :P I remember when Relickeeper was the hard-hitter everyone brought to arena.
I wish GORY was better. He's not total trash, I just wish he was a little less niche. Shadowkin is my favorite faction, would love to see Gamuran get some love also. Pretty meh for a legendary. Great vid Ash!
I love exploring with epics so I've built a lot of these. Bergoth still isn't a great champ but although his provoke isn't 100%, I feel a lot of people miss that it is a 2 turn provoke AOE, not just 1 turn.
Ash! Tolfs A1 is one of the few attacks the cant be effected by Enfeeble. It doesn't read that way However it does function that way. Making him very useful in Shogun. Thats about it tho
Only a new player - been playing just over 4 months. one benefit of Relic Keeper is the attack aura for campaigns. I have him at level 50 in an okay instinct set combined with a level 60 Merouka in a bolster set. I can then pretty much put any two other champions with them to clear a campaign to farm and quickly improve low ranking champions.
you start off maxing kael and put somewhat decent gear + masteries on him until youre able to clear 12-3 brutal campaign. the fact you need 2 champs is not good and does not speak for them tbh
Relic keeper is an Epic. Fellhound, a rare can farm brutal campaign alone in 9 seconds with the right gear. So basically, the only thing relickeeper is good for, he's really bad at.
@@jdunn501 Just a ton of critdamage and he has to be faster then the dudes in the campaign. Exactly how much critdamage depends on your arena lvl, awakenings, all that. And nightmare might give more xp, but xp vs energie I believe brutal 12-3 is best. Plus taking 3 food there is very doable, on nightmare it's really rough
Of course I pulled for Krisk and after going 208 voids deep I got Gurgoh and you mention him right off the bat. Next Norog, they need to buff the hell out of Norog. As far as the epics, I can't argue to much with this list.
As many peeps have said, Juliana shouldn't be on the list. Juliana has some use cases; she's a competent DPS for CB, and she lowers the speed requirements for the Myth-Heir comp (there's a Deadwood jedi video on it).
Ash, you are soooo off on Gurgoh the Augor …. I pulled him and was upset at first because you always trash him, BUT his A2 is AMAZING in arena when you pair him with Tormin and Gizmak. Gizmak burns all enemies out of the gate, Gurgoh freezes them all, Tormin goes to town. I pair them with a super fast arb and most of my battles the enemies never get a turn and are completely locked down. It helps that Gurgoh is void and removes buffs (so this strat can even be used against Marichka). I have his acc over 700. Just a super fun and amazing setup.
Rank all void champions next. Mostly epics and legendary champions. Edit: 2:09 Blind seer, Fatalis, Ginro, Ailil. I don't know which one to choose but for voids they all suck.
Compared to the other monster hunter he was Not the best For a void legendary he was mot the best Thats probably why He smacks but stoneskin or Unkillable counters him so much
SCION IS GOOD ...DUDE , he's good in longer battles , been using almost everywhere and happy I am so stubborn to keep and build him ....twice😊💜 and Juliana is a goodie too, dispite the books, and Marksman, I found a good build on him too, and Lady Eresh ,not the best but O.K. dude and I have a soft spot for Terrorbeast too ( and I am a day-1 player ,dude) Fearmonger needs a serious re-do, he's so cool💜
I don't comment often on youtube videos, but I had to agree with you on every champion on this list EXCEPT for Juliana, especially as an early game player (about 2months). She has been the hardest hitting champion on my demon boss team ever since I unlocked her! Now that I have the free log-in ninja, I was curious to see how he would compare to her, and somehow she still out damages (about double) my ninja on the demon boss team! Granted, I have mostly early-game gear, healers, and stats, but IMHO that's still saying alot about what Juliana could do for new players!
FYI the damage comparison with between my lvl60 6star ascended ninja full masteries and my lvl50 5star ascended Juliana tier3 masteries, gear on both as recommended by HellHades website.
@@GreatJohn-vv9sc More then likely its because ninja takes legendary books which lower the cooldown of skill useage and new players dont have a lot of those.
They need to just undo the nerfs from Rein Beast and at least he would still be used. I remember wanting him so bad and never got him until the nerfs, now I have two that are just sitting in the vault. And I'm with you Ash on, Bushi, his name just doesn't sound right to me even though it does mean something different in Japanese. Especially once you hear about a certain group of protected people that call a certain hole a bussy. Another thing the worse you can pull with a void is Harrier, I have too many of them that if rare empowered becomes a thing I could make two at +4 and one at +2. On a side note I noticed some epics like Dark Athiel or even Yaga cannot be empowered. Maybe you awesome and smart content creators can look into some epics that cannot be empowered and give good reasons as to why they should be or shouldn't. Anyway peace out Ashman.
he's still terrible but i'm curious, does snorting thug's counter attack passive work against FK shield or does that count as a buff? might be a viable early game use case for him?
I disagree on Tolf for sure. His A1 can't crit but also can't weak hit so he's great in Shogun. I have a 5 star blessing for him as well so that helps!
I've max out a Relic Keeper, because I got a 6 stars soul for him. With crushing rend at six, he one shot entire squad of enemies up to level 200, so I use him in curse city. Other than that, yeahm there's better way to spend your ressources.
Have to disagree right away with Ursine Icecrusher as he's a good champ that synergizes perfectly with his bear brother. Those two carried me all the way through Skinwalkers faction to fully 3 star it. Relickeeper is yet again, fine for what he's intended to be. He's a early arena champ that has a bit of use elsewhere even just at 50. Not the worst not the best, but solid for intended use (I have 3 of him). Wrong on Pitiless one for sure, used him heavily to beat my Knights Rev faction. Very easy to build (just speed, attack, crit rate and crit damage) and he just fills turn meter and heals non stop since it's all based on crits. You keep including Lady Ettesa, yet she's solid for a Epic (use her quite a bit now in Cursed City). Juliana might be one of your biggest misses... I've got her built and booked, and she puts in serious work in tons of areas (use her in Doom Tower, Cursed City, dungeons, faction, etc). She's top of the list for Epics, not bottom of the barrel. A bit too harsh on Bergoth the Malformed honestly. He's not Vogoth, but he's still solid. I've got him specifically for Faction wars and Cursed City, and he's got utility there.
I actually like relickeeper, If he can be kept alive and with enough Attack, Crit Damage\Rate, that Campaign Aura, as well as , as early as in the game, you get him, Many legos serve his purpose, and then some, but for early game.
+4 Relic Keeper (fairly easy to make and lots of Champ Chase points) in relentless, with a decent soul and Nurish blessing is not half bad in Sintranos

I don't have any hope that they'll buff anything Epic or lower. Their bread and butter is Legendaries and mythics.

HH had a shogun solo strat with him, might be noteworthy.
The deal with Tolf is "can't crit" also functions as "can't weak hit'. Secret text fml

They did that to a lot of old champs. So many would be passable if they just changed their abilities to use their main stat for damage instead if atk.
Juliana is solid if you pull her early. She will be your clan boss carry for a long time. Also solid In Dragon. She falls off in the late to end game but still can be used.

P.S. Ash you should maybe form a bad lvl 60 epic support group for all the Fearmongerers and trusty Yaga buiders out there. It really is a rough road walk on.
Spread the love. The opposite of rough is a buff 💔❤️
Omg, I loved this video, I found myself laughing out loud so many times! Just wish Harrier was mentioned more often 😂
Been playing Raid since fall of 2019 so some of these champs I pulled and leveled up from 1) not knowing better 2) not having better options. What’s crazy is I still use them for Faction Wars as secondary or tertiary DPS: Sharpshooter, Relickeeper, and Pitiless One.
3:36 Wait until Ash sees the old video posted about how Tolf solo's phantom shogun XD I think it was HH who made the video, but since I followed that guide, he is now useable!
It can't be critical, but it can't be weak either! No F2 needed, regen set, and a bloodshield with emergency shield soul, BOOM
I use Tolf, he's solid. Useful on my reflect damage Arena team too
You’re the best Ash. Thanks for the video, hope the rest of your day is great 😊
Thanks Jason!
My Sacred order secret room had no chance for a long time where I had the bad half of those epics. My top 2 might have been Sanguina and Mistress of Hyms at one point. Finally after over a year I pulled Godseeker randomly off a void and 2 Deacon Armstrongs off prism shards. Hope and Canoness I never got use from. I have fed like 2 Adriels since Relikeeper has filled up most my faction guardians. I was able to +2 empower my Juliana. She has beem useful in Cursed city frost spider. Quickly on lizards I Was pissed I pulled Drake off prism shards that I ginded d divers to 5000. I have to be careful about how many bad champs they sneak into prism shard events lol
THE SNORTSTER! I nearly spit out my coffee!!!! LOLOLOLOL
Pitiless one is a great early to mid game champ. He cycles his AoE so fast that he isn't half bad. He has so much chance to stun if you put him in stun set. Good fast campaign farmer, good for normal fire knight to take down the shield. Good for wave based content.
Juliana is another one. Talk about a solid CB champ. Would take her over any trash from the bottom list any day.
There are far more awful champs for sure. Like for example Suwai firstborn, Alaric the hooded, Fearmonger, Chancellor Yasmin, Lordly Legionary, Gerhard the stone, Marksman, Jinglehunter, Baroth the bloodsoaked, Jotunn, Lorn the cutter, Galkut, Snorting thug, Flesh-Tearer, Ripper, Yaga, Defiled sinner, Balthus, Karam, Hexia, etc ABSOLUTE TRASH THIS LOT and this is just the tip of the iceberg.
Yeah, I’ve had Pitiless One from almost Day One since I started playing Raid in 2019. I still use him for Faction Wars as a supplemental DPS.
Lorn is decent for Fire knight normal. Does have a strong turn meter depletion.
Chancellor Yasmin was the only reason I 3 starred 21, 75% chance of removing all buffs, plus sleep, a chunky single target heal on a 2 turn cd
She's not anywhere near as bad as some of these champs
The last Lego from DT Hard is Ginro, which is arguably a worse insult than getting Krakarth from DT Normal.
i disagree with terrorbeast. the 2 turn stun sure on a 4 turn cooldown but for 2 turns its a rare thing to find in raid, and can completely lock out an enemy plus does a fair bit of damage with good survivability
Try andryessia epic void high elf
Thanks for watching ;)
I swear I started watching the worst 20 vid from a year ago, and i quit like 2 min in because i realized it was old. Then you drop this an hour ago, as if you read my mind. I think i legally have to sub now 😂
Haha! Thanks for watching :)
marksman is part of several waves. buffing him simply makes campaign waves for beginners more dangerous. which might not be what the designers want
@ *Ash, hi Ash, one question! I think the same. Thats also my opinion, but please tell me really one thing, which Beasts would you use together with Packmaster Shy'ek? Ok, Terrorbeast is trash, but which Beasts are no trash? Becsuse, you know that Shy'eks passive is that if he is beeing attacked, all ally Beasts (all 4) gonna attack the target who was attacking Shy'ek, as protection to their Packmaster! He is the alpha of all Beasts, but what are the right Beasts for this Action?*
*but please tell me not only an option, but also your personal opinion! Which Beasts would you really use, if you want to play with Shy'ek?*
*Somebody other can also tell me, which Beasts are the right! I would be happy to hear from you all*
Fellhound. Absolutely Fellhound.
@@johnhayden8666 *Ok* 👌👍🖖, *thx*
@@djmo2000 Couples Fellhound with stun set will be much effective on enemy
I’m a new watcher and sub, I enjoy your content and your positive messages that you spread in these videos!
Thanks man! Glad you like it ;)
when I started playing RAID some years ago I saw this video from you where you brought exactly that sentence: "why does Frostbringer not have Freeze?". I still know like it was yesterday. I laughed my ass off....and fully agreed.
Lol
I know I am late to the party here BUT. Tolf the maimed's A1 is always a "normal" hit, so can't crit and can't be weak. So you can use him the same way we do Gnarhorn for Shogun. Not saying he is great but at least he has SOME, kind of usage. Gnarlhorn can also aoe taunt and get unkillable, but hey lets ignore that part.
What frostbringer have going for her is the fact that there are not a lot of heal reduction for that rotation of Amius, so yeah I saved her and I will build her whenever I can start ty even attempt Amius normal.
i have been playing 3 weeks and got lady eresh .what dose she do besides die?. she dose"t help the team at all
What to do with Yaga when you have a dearth of Skinwalker champions for Faction Wars? Well first I had to stop thinking of Sangria, then look him up online and give enough artifacts, etc to use him while still hoping for much better and keeping him away from any books or masteries. Unfortunately the next one I got was Drake...which was enough to make me think more about the sangria. 😂
Your intros are making my day thank you ash ❤
tolf “cant be critical" may be useful inthe future when plrium release a new boss will kill you when got critical hit
Tolf, can't be weak either, so can solo Phantom Shogun
Please check Lady Eresh again:
1) you build her with 100% crit rate
2) she buffs herself with increased attack and crit damage
3) AOE with 20% extra turn and turn meter fill
4) in case of extra turn goes with double hit and weaken
5) with low health goes to perfect veil, which is not as good as unkilable on skullcrown, but still can help and save her
6) you build her in crushing rend + savage and she is a monster 💀
Julianna was my go to for CB for a long time. Had her in some top notch gear at the time and she pulled her weight. Now yeah she sits in my vault just in case they buff her. And Tolf I have always thought ppl should give him a chance. Yeah you have to build him right and he has a bit of a niche use case but he does have a spot in list.
A LOT of Juliana love in the comments. I’ll record a full test/spotlight video on her later this week as atonement :)
I don't think it redeems them enough to take them off the list by any means, but Frostbringer is a decent option for Wixwell CB teams for increase speed because she also brings decrease defense and increase attack. I use her in my Wixwell team.
Bushi also has CB use. I used to have an unkillable CB team that my stun target would either be Torturehelm or Bushi, depending on affinity.
As provoker i love using rock breaker (epic) and torrux (rare)
Reflect demage is counter wave aoe cleaner and i yet really like play around with relicekeeper thats fun
Thanks Ash I pulled thr Augur the other day, but my void shards redeemed itself by giving me the Grail Bearer from Sylvan watchers when she was in the 10x a few wks ago.
1:46 - oh, that was painful. I got a Gurgoh this weekend. My void pulls are terrible.
Drake really helped me in faction wars in mid game but I can see the argument for end game
As much as it hurts, i have to agree about Juliana. I still use her for faction crypts and here and there depending on limitations in doom tower secret rooms or cursed city...she needs a buff. Absolute cb monster back in the day though.
Thanks for the video! I have all the epics and they are all in my vault. It would be awesome, if you could do the same video with leggos.
Thanks for the suggestion :)
I have a "void only" account, and Tolf the Maimed is a tank that can solo almost everything.
True he can never crit on any hit but.... he can also NEVER weak hit.
Ragging on Gurgoh as worst void legendary when Supreme Athel is right there. :P
I remember when Relickeeper was the hard-hitter everyone brought to arena.
I wish GORY was better. He's not total trash, I just wish he was a little less niche. Shadowkin is my favorite faction, would love to see Gamuran get some love also. Pretty meh for a legendary. Great vid Ash!
So if im a new player and i dont have any epics and i get juliana i dont invest to progress clan boss? awsome to know
I love exploring with epics so I've built a lot of these. Bergoth still isn't a great champ but although his provoke isn't 100%, I feel a lot of people miss that it is a 2 turn provoke AOE, not just 1 turn.
Krakarth could potentially solo the sand devil with her revive on death. Would take ages to complete, but she could do it, theoretically 😅
Warden and Shaman were my first level 60's 🤣
Man, my account's come a long way since then...
Lol... Thanks for tuning in ;)
When you play raid, plarium is in control. There is no other way around.
Ash! Tolfs A1 is one of the few attacks the cant be effected by Enfeeble. It doesn't read that way However it does function that way. Making him very useful in Shogun. Thats about it tho
Only a new player - been playing just over 4 months. one benefit of Relic Keeper is the attack aura for campaigns.
I have him at level 50 in an okay instinct set combined with a level 60 Merouka in a bolster set. I can then pretty much put any two other champions with them to clear a campaign to farm and quickly improve low ranking champions.
you start off maxing kael and put somewhat decent gear + masteries on him until youre able to clear 12-3 brutal campaign. the fact you need 2 champs is not good and does not speak for them tbh
@@dk995 true. That works as well. I have Kael at 60 but have not unlocked all masteries.
Relic keeper is an Epic. Fellhound, a rare can farm brutal campaign alone in 9 seconds with the right gear. So basically, the only thing relickeeper is good for, he's really bad at.
@@darkeasterbunny What gear is needed for Fellhound to farm brutal solo? I’m now doing nightmare but not with Fellhound.
@@jdunn501 Just a ton of critdamage and he has to be faster then the dudes in the campaign. Exactly how much critdamage depends on your arena lvl, awakenings, all that. And nightmare might give more xp, but xp vs energie I believe brutal 12-3 is best. Plus taking 3 food there is very doable, on nightmare it's really rough
Im sad to see frosybringer, i would like a buff for her but shes so pivotal for a bunch of my teams! Really valuable
Of course I pulled for Krisk and after going 208 voids deep I got Gurgoh and you mention him right off the bat. Next Norog, they need to buff the hell out of Norog. As far as the epics, I can't argue to much with this list.
Thanks for tuning in ;)
10:01 "I don't want that" lmao
Relic Keeper carried me in campaign, carried me to Gold 3 in Arena. Relic Keeper is my favorite OG character.
As many peeps have said, Juliana shouldn't be on the list. Juliana has some use cases; she's a competent DPS for CB, and she lowers the speed requirements for the Myth-Heir comp (there's a Deadwood jedi video on it).
ASH!! Gurgoh is a nitch and may be underrated.
I run Siphi, Shirimani, Tormin, Gurgoh, and Scyl. Massive crowd control. Slow, but effective!
Thanks for watching ;)
@@ASH-RAID I realized the auto correct! It's Tormin the Cold, not Forming 🤦♂️
Ash, you are soooo off on Gurgoh the Augor …. I pulled him and was upset at first because you always trash him, BUT his A2 is AMAZING in arena when you pair him with Tormin and Gizmak. Gizmak burns all enemies out of the gate, Gurgoh freezes them all, Tormin goes to town. I pair them with a super fast arb and most of my battles the enemies never get a turn and are completely locked down. It helps that Gurgoh is void and removes buffs (so this strat can even be used against Marichka). I have his acc over 700. Just a super fun and amazing setup.
The only role I can think of for Tolf the Maimed might be as the SLOW BOY for a Maneater unkillable Clan Boss team. Even then there are better choices
Apparently he can solo the Phantom Shogun
am newish to the game and got emo kael a few weeks ago. Thank you for convincing me to not build.
Rank all void champions next. Mostly epics and legendary champions.
Edit: 2:09 Blind seer, Fatalis, Ginro, Ailil. I don't know which one to choose but for voids they all suck.
I don't know why Fatalis is ranked so badly. He has some good support for the team and he can absolutely smack.
@@WolfBardOfficial that Skratch video ruined his rep early on. Hes amazing ppl just take Content creators word as facts.
@@chuck569469 exactly
Compared to the other monster hunter he was Not the best
For a void legendary he was mot the best
Thats probably why
He smacks but stoneskin or Unkillable counters him so much
Fatalis isnt bad
SCION IS GOOD ...DUDE , he's good in longer battles , been using almost everywhere and happy I am so stubborn to keep and build him ....twice😊💜 and Juliana is a goodie too, dispite the books, and Marksman, I found a good build on him too, and Lady Eresh ,not the best but O.K. dude and I have a soft spot for Terrorbeast too ( and I am a day-1 player ,dude)
Fearmonger needs a serious re-do, he's so cool💜
Almost turned the video off after the attack on Gurgoh. That's my boy, I love his A2 in Arena for teams that get debuffs placed before his move.
I don't comment often on youtube videos, but I had to agree with you on every champion on this list EXCEPT for Juliana, especially as an early game player (about 2months). She has been the hardest hitting champion on my demon boss team ever since I unlocked her! Now that I have the free log-in ninja, I was curious to see how he would compare to her, and somehow she still out damages (about double) my ninja on the demon boss team! Granted, I have mostly early-game gear, healers, and stats, but IMHO that's still saying alot about what Juliana could do for new players!
FYI the damage comparison with between my lvl60 6star ascended ninja full masteries and my lvl50 5star ascended Juliana tier3 masteries, gear on both as recommended by HellHades website.
Something is very wrong if Juliana is dealing double damage of ninja😂😂
@@GreatJohn-vv9sc More then likely its because ninja takes legendary books which lower the cooldown of skill useage and new players dont have a lot of those.
A LOT of Juliana love in the comments. I’ll record a full test/spotlight video on her later this week as atonement :)
They need to just undo the nerfs from Rein Beast and at least he would still be used. I remember wanting him so bad and never got him until the nerfs, now I have two that are just sitting in the vault. And I'm with you Ash on, Bushi, his name just doesn't sound right to me even though it does mean something different in Japanese. Especially once you hear about a certain group of protected people that call a certain hole a bussy. Another thing the worse you can pull with a void is Harrier, I have too many of them that if rare empowered becomes a thing I could make two at +4 and one at +2. On a side note I noticed some epics like Dark Athiel or even Yaga cannot be empowered. Maybe you awesome and smart content creators can look into some epics that cannot be empowered and give good reasons as to why they should be or shouldn't. Anyway peace out Ashman.
isnt there cheese strats with bushi in certain areas because of his passive?
wukong - exists.
he's still terrible but i'm curious, does snorting thug's counter attack passive work against FK shield or does that count as a buff? might be a viable early game use case for him?
He is very useful to deal with the Magic keep huge shield without having needed to have a very high accuracy to steal it from the boss
I disagree on Tolf for sure. His A1 can't crit but also can't weak hit so he's great in Shogun. I have a 5 star blessing for him as well so that helps!
Thanks for tuning in ;)
Tolf doesn't crit, but also doesn't weak hit and can solo Shogun. Check it.
we always needed a epic food list thanks
I think that a +4 6* Relickeeper might do some damage, but I haven't done it yet..
I pulled Pitiless last week, and was like "Oh boy they're going to do great for me in Spider". Well guess I'm glad I didn't start building them
Im a new player and your content is very informative. Thank you ash!
Thanks man! Glad you like it ;)
21:15 The fun is a2 animation is like aoe, but just attack on 2 enemies 😂
I've max out a Relic Keeper, because I got a 6 stars soul for him. With crushing rend at six, he one shot entire squad of enemies up to level 200, so I use him in curse city. Other than that, yeahm there's better way to spend your ressources.
Yep I've booked with copies and empowered him to +4. Now with my best gear during regear he smacks so hard in cursed city and just goes to town lol
I took him to +4 +4 star blessing and merciless 6 piece. I use him in CA and LA and he absolutely smacks anyone.
Have to disagree right away with Ursine Icecrusher as he's a good champ that synergizes perfectly with his bear brother. Those two carried me all the way through Skinwalkers faction to fully 3 star it.
Relickeeper is yet again, fine for what he's intended to be. He's a early arena champ that has a bit of use elsewhere even just at 50. Not the worst not the best, but solid for intended use (I have 3 of him).
Wrong on Pitiless one for sure, used him heavily to beat my Knights Rev faction. Very easy to build (just speed, attack, crit rate and crit damage) and he just fills turn meter and heals non stop since it's all based on crits.
You keep including Lady Ettesa, yet she's solid for a Epic (use her quite a bit now in Cursed City).
Juliana might be one of your biggest misses... I've got her built and booked, and she puts in serious work in tons of areas (use her in Doom Tower, Cursed City, dungeons, faction, etc). She's top of the list for Epics, not bottom of the barrel.
A bit too harsh on Bergoth the Malformed honestly. He's not Vogoth, but he's still solid. I've got him specifically for Faction wars and Cursed City, and he's got utility there.
I actually like relickeeper, If he can be kept alive and with enough Attack, Crit Damage\Rate, that Campaign Aura, as well as , as early as in the game, you get him, Many legos serve his purpose, and then some, but for early game.
+4 Relic Keeper (fairly easy to make and lots of Champ Chase points) in relentless, with a decent soul and Nurish blessing is not half bad in Sintranos
Over here pulled the white bear, the maimed, and an extra shaman as 3 of my first 5 epics
