Wow. Lady H made so much sense when she spoke about not using gems on shards and people just wanting what they don’t have. Be happy with the champs you got. How many thousands would I have saved if I used this same wisdom. :)
I very rarely use gems on shards, only if I'm near mercy and a 2x drops for example and I have thousands spare. Often to stop the temptation I spend all my gems on energy pots that last 99 days and then I can't be tempted to buy the shards xd
I never use gems for shards. I barely pull for champs in the portal anymore. I've got most of the champs I need to beat all the content out. I just need a lil better stats from the great hall and better glyphs. We stand w lady h
She is the voice of sensibility. The comment about wanting to spend money on other things, not games: so true for many of us! I'd rather spend money on a good time out doing something fun than gamble it away. But hey, to each their own.
I have to say that lady H is exactly, the player I was and sort of still am. Day 196 in and still trying to learn. Only lego's are my freebies (lousy shard pulls), watching ton's of videos trying to figure out who is food and who to keep. Strick free to play (not $1 spent) and man is it tough.... Get about an hour or 2 a night, makes it hard to get through anything still even at this point...
Lady H is absolutely refreshing. I am enjoying her personality and as another woman player, I can relate. If she keeps playing, I would follow her account hands down.
Lady H is genuinely how I felt at the start. I think we overestimate people when they first start. They don't google or TH-cam search things. This was a really helpful video tbh.
I enjoy the video's with Lady H - as a noobie F2P I find the main channels (even during the FP2 series) talk away assuming you know everything. A Lady H version of your videos (where things are explained) would be awesome! Your pace when she's on your show is also friendly and easier to understand.
It took me playing Raid - playing seriously in October - to *finally* understand and wrap my mind around the gear concept. They do explain some things - like when you're doing the beginner missions .. I couldn't wrap my mind around the synergy of sub stats vs. set pieces. And I watch people in their videos go, "this is crap, that's crap, garbage, might keep this .." all at a glance and I'm like, how do you know?!! It *is* a lot to take in for some personalities, it really is, especially when they're not big on numbers to begin with.
4:50 she hit the head on about 100 nails. We like seeing shard pulls to see what people get. Then we’re like “okay, maybe it’s MY time to land an Acrezia, Siphi, what have you.” Then depression sets in after pulling 100 ancients, after only getting a few good epics. Lol. She’s got some things down that even I can’t stop myself from doing…
All I want now is to somehow blink and then instantly fast travel to a year from now... All of a sudden Lady H is dropping daily videos alongside HH on her experience, she's surpassed mid-late game and is tearing it up on Raid. Plarium came to their senses and finally listens to the ultimate content Duo of Raid... - so if anyone has a time machine. Lets make this happen. K, thanks.
Even if we got a solid 3-6 months experience seeing the growth and how much the game and community can and will grow on you... not that this would happen but having her go back and restart and comment on how vastly different the experience is I know most if not all of us have started alts and it's completely different from your very first time starting the game like I wouldn't have started with galek lol
This is the video I needed to watch a year or so ago when I started. One where someone who hasn't played the game continually is asking the CC the equivalent of "what did that thing you just said actually mean?". Terms like "flat stats". "RNG", "PROC", etc were just completely opaque to me until I went and googled them outside of the videos I watched.
Dear Lady H, you are doing so grate. As a woman, i am a little bit biased and rooting for you! Your progress is so entertaining even if you (or because) struggle as we all did and ask "wtf is a FLAT stat". I can totally relate. This hole gearing thing was a nightmare to figure out. I am quite surprised, that you want to give us a authentic new player experience by not using sources outside the game. Please do not hinder yourself and be convinced, you ARE giving us a total authentic and relatable experience by using these. Please, be not afraid to use the same sources we all do and did to figure the game out! I can not stress this enough, everyone watches videos and looking up stuff on websites. We all went to this gathering knowledge phase and this is also totally normal + authentic! Maybe you will find it rewarding gaining this knowledge and "beating" the game this way. At some point most of us find something in raid that get us hooked. I am very curios if you will find something and especially what it will be if you give the game and your self some time to learn the basics. Even with a lot of gaming background my self, raid was quite surprising. Normally, i am so not into pvp (player vs. player) content but raid did reveal my competitive side. It was fun to beat other player teams and i wanted to get a better team what lead me to the internet to find out how. Also wining Tournaments was boosting my fun. The grind in dungeons was boring but i found out there is a tool for it to automate the boring parts :D. Gearing was so complicated, but hey there is also a tool for it that picks the best gear for you! ;)
LadyH is absolutely correct when she said at the start that most new players would start the game, and wouldn't go looking for CC tutorials etc. Me and the hubby winged it for the first 6 months until he finally found HH channel, then we learned how to play the game properly. By the time we found you our accounts were a total wreck. I ended up just starting a new account as my first account was too far gone to spend months and all resources reversing all the dmg done.
Her insight regarding shards is spot on. I see it a great deal in new players who get hung up on specific champs rather than understanding WHY people use those champs. The end result is they dont progress becsuse they just wait to pull those champs, which we all know isnt likely. For content creators, I know you all have limited time, but it may be wise, when presenting teams, to do different 'newbie' versions as well so people get why youre doing it.
I wish this video had been around in Mar of 2021. Thank you Lady H for asking all the questions I had when I started! Thank you HH for your videos in April of 2021 that helped me get through!
When testing certain products at work, we ask people that know nothing about it. I feel stupid when seeing the little things we forget. You showing Lady H gave me this vibe. It definitly gave you an insight on a new player's struggle.
I love hearing LadyH! Here is something I do that I have not noticed the pro guys doing: I use all those symbols to tag champs. I use ❤ for champs that are superstars. At the beginning, basically, they are my keeps that I am playing or will play. I use the "I" champs I will keep for future or archives. I use the III for champs I will be eating. These tags used to sometimes disappear after I placed them, so watch out for that. I also sorted them into the various vaults. I used to put food in the Master Vault, but since the Reserve Vault came in and it automatically removes equips, i.e. only non-equipped champs go in there, I now use that vault and the Collection for Food. Everything in my Reserve vault is food. If I am doing a mass leveling of food, for like Champ Training, I will pull out a bunch from the Reserve vault for leveling. I usually only put them in there after I get to food level. It makes it easy at one glance to see what's in there at what levels. I also put my fusion stuff in the Master Vault - basically stuff I have use for that is not Food. I found the symbols and the different vaults super useful for sorting without having to take to many notes. I do take notes in a text file for when I work through the dungeons, etc. I put teams I've tried, their times, if it FAILed, and which stage was reliable/100% so I know what to run easily. As for how normal people start, all I did was start with whichever starter (I started with Elhain) and put whatever gear onto her that I had. As a new player, I was much slower than all these re-starting players. So it took me awhile to get to gear that might be interesting. By then, I was watching a few videos, checking a few websites. I read websites to learn about masteries, to learn about starters. It was definitely confusing at the beginning, but nothing is fatal - just keep leveling, gearing, advancing in the various dungeons, events. Yes, I was not super efficient but obviously it was fun because I am still here a bit over a year later. I definitely wasted tons of resources probably the first 3 months (haha), but hell, it was all still playable and fun. I got a bit lucky on my early summons and got Tayrel, Venomage, and Zelotah, which were very useful. I still use Venomage. I have slowly moved out Tayrel and Zelotah was super useful early game. I would say don't be super delicate. Just try whatever. Lots of it will work fine in early game, and maybe even early mid-game. That gives you plenty of time to read blogs, watch videos, get familiar with the stuff to do in the game. After awhile, it becomes familiar.
Honestly, its really good info to hear someone totally unfamiliar say stuff like "i never knew what flat stats meant" because that is a teaching moment for HH going forwards. that is VALUABLE feedback! great series.
And THAT is exactly why I've joined in! It's so easy for him to forget that just because he used a phrase a lot two years ago it doesn't mean that everyone who watches his videos now understands what he's talking about!
Thanks so much lady H! After years I still find this game terribly difficult. And for the silver yeah we both know how it feels we need more of it for free. I'm only half way into the video absolutely love it great job! Amazing content as always! Good info good laughs thanks HH and Lady H!
I really have to say that the actual 100% correct answer to the question Lady H asked, about how people manage to get through stuff in the early stage and how they understand what to do, is that they watch content creators videos or they just quit. As a matter of fact, I am talking for many people here, I would have quit a long ago if I didn't watch thoroughly some of your starter videos and advice you give. That's all!
I learned something new after three years playing. The blue circle on a champs pic shows it is a fusion champ. I never looked into it. I always attempt to feed them and the warning pops up or I look through the champs I need for them. I remember all of them at this point. I grind them to use the dupes as books and faction guardians. Not sure I will ever fuse Rhazin. I need to fuse all the epics around 20 times each before I have one for Rhazin.
Rhazin is absolutely someone you should have fused in year 1, what is your CB team? If it's not unkillable, he works there, he does work in faction wars, he does doom tower. he's not a meta arena or unkillable CB champ, but you will see him on the optimizer in many different teams as he is not bad and free.
I think a masteries video where you go in depth with it and explain everything in great detail would help out a lot of new players, plus lady Hs perspective is refreshing to hear
Lady H. is awesome. She is a true FTP player. Doing something like getting your first 6 star in 24hours is insane, but that's with perfect knowledge and skill. Most FTP players are exactly like Lady H. Even at their best they are moving the speed of Lady H. Let's not forget she gets private tutorials from a Raid God like HH. Keep up the great work Lady H. I've been playing for a year now, but you are struggling with the same things I did. Hard to find videos on which is better a 6 star common or a 5 star uncommon artifact.
Sort of, she's not a real FTP player, shes literally only playing because of HH doing an event. She's not interested in the game at all naturally and just doing a solid for the community. It's a refreshing perspective no doubt, but she would have quit after 15 minutes if not for the event.
@@TheHexpane I disagree I think she is giving it a fair go. She's putting realistic thought into it like her comment about not going to You Tube videos yet. She is using a new player thought process and doing an amazing job. I literally was stuck in the same places she has been.
FTP doesn't mean casual though, Eharbad has always been a true FTP player, but not casual. Nothing wrong with being casual, I know the word is used as an insult but it's not. Very refreshing to get casual perspectives because it really highlights how these games are designed to trap people into either spending or giving up.
@@pocketqueens830 Yes, but everyone starts out casual. Remember this is like day 8. No one picked up the game and on day 8 had (2) 6 stars. Eharbad has awesome content, but as stated before he is a Raid Legend. No human can do what he does. So comparing a regular free to play player to Lady H is more reasonable than comparing them to Eharbad
"She is a true FTP player." I don't think she's really all that representative of most FTP players, because I'd wager that vast majority of players that play this game have some experience playing RPGs and can apply a ton of prior knowledge to navigate through Raid. For example, most players will probably already know what "crit rate" is or what a "set bonus" is, whereas Lady H admitted she has no idea of some of the more fundamental elements of RPGs let alone being able to navigate through additional complexities of Raid itself. This is why, as she correctly pointed out, she needs to play more at her pace and discover things for herself, and make decisions because they make sense to her, not because she's (blindly) following the advice of veterans of the game. If it takes her 2 months before the first 6 star for example, then who cares? Her progress should consist of learning the basic elements of RPG systems at a rate that's fun and enjoyable for her, and learning what it takes to improve characters and progress further into the game. There is a lot to discover early on in Raid even if you're not maximizing your starter, and experimenting with the various champs can be quite fun even if they are nothing more than food champs to the rest of us.
Exactly Lady H :D i love you for that comment, "playing but not playing", exactly why im not saving anything lol, not doing fusions and not bothered with keeping shards, i just pop em ;D and i love it, and also made it to end game, so i chose to play, games are supposed to be fun, or it used to be that way before
The comment about being tempted to pull shards due to the videos we watch...is a huge truth!!! She's 1 week in and she's got the healthy mentality: mind your own account & ignore what the others pulled! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Lady H plays the exact way i did three years ago. I only used rares, because of books. Sometimes I used champions without gear first to see if they were any good before I "made them stronger" and I leveled War priest, bombardier and Heriess to 50 and used them in all the content. For any game, I never went to a youtube video ( which to me was akin to using a published game guide) unless I was completly lost.
The way Lady H describes how she would play a game and when to watch those reminds me of how I play Soulsborn games. This is EXACTLY how I played Elden Ring... and it's so much more rewarding to try first, then seek tips. WTG Lady H!!!
I started playing Raid because my 12-year-old grandson downloaded it on my phone. He didn't have access to the game all the time since it was on my phone so I helped with the basics. I blindly just went through the campaign without knowing a thing other than I was getting him resources and leveling up his champions. I slowly started going through the challenges etc. I am 50 years old and despite all my children etc being huge gamers I had only done some fun quick sorts of games. I now play both of our accounts daily as I now have my own as well. I love hearing this new content as I had no one to ask about this game and no idea what I was doing. I'm 4 months in on his and 3 months in on mine. I did some things right and others horribly wrong. I didn't start looking for help in the game until I was really confused and stuck if I was going in the right direction. Btw.....on a funny note I ended up getting appointed clan leader on his acct. If they only knew....... 😄 🤣 😂 😆 Please continue these videos. Most of the videos I watch for help end up saying things exactly like "flat" that go over my head. Love you Lady H!!
3:00 - honestly, i found HH & Ash on youtube within my first 24hrs of starting raid. as soon as i get into a game, i search 'top mistakes for beginners' to make sure i don't accidently feed yellow champs to greens, or orange books into blue champs, etc
Wow, this is so relatable to my first Raid Experience, i had zero clue about gear for a long time. I only started to progress after farming the bootshop and crit capping damage dealers. Also, its quite sad the tutorial is not good enough for new players. Huge thanks for content creators to speed everything up so you can have more fun. Keep it up !
I started the game yesterday and I feel lost half the time, I didn't stumble on these videos until this morning so I can relate with the whole "confused about things" part
I agree with her. On all points. I too play with what I get, and don’t care about legendary champs. I like to just build stuff and see where it goes. She has a great perspective on playing, it should be more common. People treat the game like a job, even if they aren’t paid for it.
Yes I agree with the positive comments on Lady H she is the BEST! Very entertaining and says what we all thought in the beginning of playing this game. It took me months to really get it! the learning curve is steep in this game but once you get it you got it! Lady H Lady H Lady H! more Lady H please! thank you!
You are doing a great job of explaining the game to the missus. I have had to figure it out by myself. Watching videos really helps. I love both of you doing the game together and she asks great questions. I am learning 😌
I get what Lady H is saying about not wanting to go and learn how to play from internet. When I started, I saw it as a challenge and wanted to learn on my own. The first time I went to watch a video was when I pulled my first lego. I got super excited and wanted to learn how to get the most out of my new toy :)
1:38 LOL. If it makes any difference, I was probably as lost as Lady H when I started to play. Then I learned all these things new players should do and I started a new account. But my original account started getting some good pulls, I was able to complete the Dreng fusion, barely missed the Helicath fusion, and yeah, I started having a lot of fun in the game despite Plarium's best efforts. So, hang in there, it does get better... before it gets worse again ;)
This video is awesome. Every comment about how refreshing this content is, is 100% accurate. Great video. I'm loving the FTP series. I'm in next year if you guys are doing again!!!
I LOVE Lady H's absolutely honest take on this crazy game we all seem to love, against all odds. Please keep these coming! edit: @28:34 "While you're off washing the sink or..." DANGER MATE! DANGER!@
REALLY do enjoy Watching Lady H and teaching her how to play. ITS such a excellent play test that Raid prob should do every ONCE in a while to test out their game, and HOW easily it is to play the game. SHE really brings up GREAT points about the game doesn't teach her how to play the game. All the books; YAY all the books slam them in there... UMMMM THERE goes that epic book. Sometimes you gotta THINK what you say and what you mean.
Great to see Lady H hanging tough and making progress on the best and most frustrating online game ever. Well wishes, and better luck on her next batch of shard pulls. Cheers.
omg, I didn't know what flat means all this time :DDDD that was hilarious :D also, it's awesome she actually does some stuff. The best I could get out of my girl so far, to actually enter to Forbidden planet with me, and I had to watch the Tina Turner musical to win this pleaseure.
when you filtered grey/green you should have filtered stars also. very early on most players are using grey/green for crit gloves and speed boots. when you nuked 93% of her items i cringed.
For the gems, I'll go with "D: None of the above". Use them on the gem mine first. Don't bother using them on Masteries until you have someone above 4*, since level 40ish teams can farm all of their own Mastery mats. That said, giving Kael or one of the starting fighters a full set of Masteries all at once (even if it's just up to lvl 4) will definitely make a huge difference quickly.
If u want to explain the damage for new players I would say : the ATK/DEF/HP will be the sword and crit rate is the accorcy of your hit and crit damage is your bower to move your sword
It took me around 2 month to get a stable understanding of gear and masteries Lady H I hear you as for the shards and gem's I'm with you there to I spend on shards and masteries more than anything simply because the way I play means I don't run out of energy much
Watching you and LadyH always brightens my day. There has to be a multiplayer game you two can play together and make a series out of on TH-cam and Twitch
When you get a 6* legendary artifact and it has terrible stats, would you not keep it just in case your rework turns it into a better piece, or at least one with acc and/or speed?
Y'all are so cute! As a new player (also a woman), Lady H is so refreshing to listen to. Thank you for making me laugh so much. I have such a good time watching these videos. :)
Most important videos you ever posted Mate :) Lady H is the primary customer of RAID....much like I taught my wife , who still has problems with gear and her account is 1.5 mil power
I've been having the worst silver luck on my FTP. Not a single 16-artifact has come cheap. My friend has been spending like 200k from 12-16 on a few artifacts. I had a helmet that cost me like 2mil from 15-16.
Those who have been playing for years definitely have a different approach. I downloaded this game on mobile to get diamonds for sniper 3d. There's tons of content and I was lost. I started watching videos where it seemed that any champion could be great with God tier gear. I wasted so many resources on the wrong champs. I still feel I have some champs that should be great but I haven't geared them right. It's a lot and little changes are huge. Knowing how synergies work is tricky. My nuke into nuke following up with more nukes plan generally doesn't work. Does in the beginning. Experience takes some time and patience.
this reminds me of EVERY time I tried introducing a girlfriend to one of my autistic hobbies haha. Lady H is an awesome sport. Glad to see her playing her own way and figuring it out!
I think this video should speak volumes to the CC's who think they are making beginner and tutorial videos for people. Most of the things CC's say only make sense if they "already" know the game... Words like "chicken", "farming", "masteries", "food", mean less that NOTHING if you don't have an understanding of the game.
This is hilarious 😂 but do you care 😅 I'm dead 😭😭😭 it's all your fault 😂😂😂 Lady H , HH this is comedy gold could watch this true life marriage unfold over raid please make a series 😂😂😂😂❤️🔥
Double H you also have to make her understand that there are damaged dealers their h&p healers there are defensive based champions and that'll help her understand how to build each one especially she has free access to the optimizer as well as speed is King in this game. It also she'll be able to transfer from speed into percentage boots later game. Honestly to be able to make it through a lot of levels Iran my players in percentage Boots the whole time early game just to survive at get thru till I could go to speed boots
It's a game. Spend the gems on whatever makes it fun for you. Not everyone is trying to keep up with the pros, but If you are (because that's what's fun for you), and you are already "losing" (because others have hit milestones before you), I could argue that pulling shards is a way you might catch up. Especially if you had a bad spin of the wheels to begin with, or haven't pulled anything really good yet (while other have pulled top notch champs already). Also, for some people pulling shards IS the fun part of the game, all the rest is just filler;)

Lady H is a gem :D
"All this time I never knew what flat stat meant"
"I just heard you shouting it.."
😆
My biggest lol
It's refreshing hearing her perspective. It is sobering hearing an outside perspective of someone that doesn't game all the time
Wow. Lady H made so much sense when she spoke about not using gems on shards and people just wanting what they don’t have. Be happy with the champs you got. How many thousands would I have saved if I used this same wisdom. :)
I very rarely use gems on shards, only if I'm near mercy and a 2x drops for example and I have thousands spare.
Often to stop the temptation I spend all my gems on energy pots that last 99 days and then I can't be tempted to buy the shards xd
Me with a bunch of legendaries I can't book because I refuse to buy them haha
I never use gems for shards. I barely pull for champs in the portal anymore. I've got most of the champs I need to beat all the content out. I just need a lil better stats from the great hall and better glyphs. We stand w lady h
She is the voice of sensibility. The comment about wanting to spend money on other things, not games: so true for many of us! I'd rather spend money on a good time out doing something fun than gamble it away. But hey, to each their own.
I have to say that lady H is exactly, the player I was and sort of still am. Day 196 in and still trying to learn. Only lego's are my freebies (lousy shard pulls), watching ton's of videos trying to figure out who is food and who to keep. Strick free to play (not $1 spent) and man is it tough.... Get about an hour or 2 a night, makes it hard to get through anything still even at this point...
Lady H is absolutely refreshing. I am enjoying her personality and as another woman player, I can relate. If she keeps playing, I would follow her account hands down.
This interaction was so ADORABLE. More Lady H in videos here would be a great move, I think. She's super relatable and charismatic.
Lady H is genuinely how I felt at the start. I think we overestimate people when they first start. They don't google or TH-cam search things. This was a really helpful video tbh.
This is the video I've wanted for 3 years. Watching now, thanks y'all.
Our pleasure!
I absolutely love these colabs. Also, you two just talking have brought up some of the most missed nuisances I encounter when talking to new players.
I enjoy the video's with Lady H - as a noobie F2P I find the main channels (even during the FP2 series) talk away assuming you know everything. A Lady H version of your videos (where things are explained) would be awesome! Your pace when she's on your show is also friendly and easier to understand.

4:50 she hit the head on about 100 nails. We like seeing shard pulls to see what people get.

This,SO MUCH, yes!!!
I AGREE!!!!
Yes but also unfortunately no
Even if we got a solid 3-6 months experience seeing the growth and how much the game and community can and will grow on you... not that this would happen but having her go back and restart and comment on how vastly different the experience is I know most if not all of us have started alts and it's completely different from your very first time starting the game like I wouldn't have started with galek lol

These tags used to sometimes disappear after I placed them, so watch out for that. I also sorted them into the various vaults. I used to put food in the Master Vault, but since the Reserve Vault came in and it automatically removes equips, i.e. only non-equipped champs go in there, I now use that vault and the Collection for Food.
Everything in my Reserve vault is food. If I am doing a mass leveling of food, for like Champ Training, I will pull out a bunch from the Reserve vault for leveling. I usually only put them in there after I get to food level. It makes it easy at one glance to see what's in there at what levels.
I also put my fusion stuff in the Master Vault - basically stuff I have use for that is not Food.
I found the symbols and the different vaults super useful for sorting without having to take to many notes. I do take notes in a text file for when I work through the dungeons, etc. I put teams I've tried, their times, if it FAILed, and which stage was reliable/100% so I know what to run easily.
As for how normal people start, all I did was start with whichever starter (I started with Elhain) and put whatever gear onto her that I had. As a new player, I was much slower than all these re-starting players. So it took me awhile to get to gear that might be interesting. By then, I was watching a few videos, checking a few websites. I read websites to learn about masteries, to learn about starters.
It was definitely confusing at the beginning, but nothing is fatal - just keep leveling, gearing, advancing in the various dungeons, events. Yes, I was not super efficient but obviously it was fun because I am still here a bit over a year later. I definitely wasted tons of resources probably the first 3 months (haha), but hell, it was all still playable and fun. I got a bit lucky on my early summons and got Tayrel, Venomage, and Zelotah, which were very useful. I still use Venomage. I have slowly moved out Tayrel and Zelotah was super useful early game.
I would say don't be super delicate. Just try whatever. Lots of it will work fine in early game, and maybe even early mid-game. That gives you plenty of time to read blogs, watch videos, get familiar with the stuff to do in the game. After awhile, it becomes familiar.
She has the same expressions my co-workers give me when I explain the game to them!!! Love it!
Honestly, its really good info to hear someone totally unfamiliar say stuff like "i never knew what flat stats meant" because that is a teaching moment for HH going forwards. that is VALUABLE feedback! great series.
And THAT is exactly why I've joined in! It's so easy for him to forget that just because he used a phrase a lot two years ago it doesn't mean that everyone who watches his videos now understands what he's talking about!
Thanks so much lady H! After years I still find this game terribly difficult. And for the silver yeah we both know how it feels we need more of it for free. I'm only half way into the video absolutely love it great job! Amazing content as always! Good info good laughs thanks HH and Lady H!
I really have to say that the actual 100% correct answer to the question Lady H asked, about how people manage to get through stuff in the early stage and how they understand what to do, is that they watch content creators videos or they just quit. As a matter of fact, I am talking for many people here, I would have quit a long ago if I didn't watch thoroughly some of your starter videos and advice you give. That's all!
I learned something new after three years playing. The blue circle on a champs pic shows it is a fusion champ. I never looked into it. I always attempt to feed them and the warning pops up or I look through the champs I need for them. I remember all of them at this point. I grind them to use the dupes as books and faction guardians. Not sure I will ever fuse Rhazin. I need to fuse all the epics around 20 times each before I have one for Rhazin.
Rhazin is absolutely someone you should have fused in year 1, what is your CB team? If it's not unkillable, he works there, he does work in faction wars, he does doom tower. he's not a meta arena or unkillable CB champ, but you will see him on the optimizer in many different teams as he is not bad and free.
I think a masteries video where you go in depth with it and explain everything in great detail would help out a lot of new players, plus lady Hs perspective is refreshing to hear
Lady H. is awesome. She is a true FTP player. Doing something like getting your first 6 star in 24hours is insane, but that's with perfect knowledge and skill. Most FTP players are exactly like Lady H. Even at their best they are moving the speed of Lady H. Let's not forget she gets private tutorials from a Raid God like HH. Keep up the great work Lady H. I've been playing for a year now, but you are struggling with the same things I did. Hard to find videos on which is better a 6 star common or a 5 star uncommon artifact.
Sort of, she's not a real FTP player, shes literally only playing because of HH doing an event. She's not interested in the game at all naturally and just doing a solid for the community. It's a refreshing perspective no doubt, but she would have quit after 15 minutes if not for the event.
@@TheHexpane I disagree I think she is giving it a fair go. She's putting realistic thought into it like her comment about not going to You Tube videos yet. She is using a new player thought process and doing an amazing job. I literally was stuck in the same places she has been.
FTP doesn't mean casual though, Eharbad has always been a true FTP player, but not casual. Nothing wrong with being casual, I know the word is used as an insult but it's not. Very refreshing to get casual perspectives because it really highlights how these games are designed to trap people into either spending or giving up.
@@pocketqueens830 Yes, but everyone starts out casual. Remember this is like day 8. No one picked up the game and on day 8 had (2) 6 stars. Eharbad has awesome content, but as stated before he is a Raid Legend. No human can do what he does. So comparing a regular free to play player to Lady H is more reasonable than comparing them to Eharbad
"She is a true FTP player."
I don't think she's really all that representative of most FTP players, because I'd wager that vast majority of players that play this game have some experience playing RPGs and can apply a ton of prior knowledge to navigate through Raid. For example, most players will probably already know what "crit rate" is or what a "set bonus" is, whereas Lady H admitted she has no idea of some of the more fundamental elements of RPGs let alone being able to navigate through additional complexities of Raid itself.
This is why, as she correctly pointed out, she needs to play more at her pace and discover things for herself, and make decisions because they make sense to her, not because she's (blindly) following the advice of veterans of the game. If it takes her 2 months before the first 6 star for example, then who cares? Her progress should consist of learning the basic elements of RPG systems at a rate that's fun and enjoyable for her, and learning what it takes to improve characters and progress further into the game. There is a lot to discover early on in Raid even if you're not maximizing your starter, and experimenting with the various champs can be quite fun even if they are nothing more than food champs to the rest of us.
Exactly Lady H :D i love you for that comment, "playing but not playing", exactly why im not saving anything lol, not doing fusions and not bothered with keeping shards, i just pop em ;D and i love it, and also made it to end game, so i chose to play, games are supposed to be fun, or it used to be that way before
HH: "Where I am is quite nice..." Lady H: "I'm about to end this mans whole career" Lmao!
The dynamic between the two of you is adorable. It's so lovely to see the way the two of you make each other laugh.
The comment about being tempted to pull shards due to the videos we watch...is a huge truth!!!
She's 1 week in and she's got the healthy mentality: mind your own account & ignore what the others pulled!
🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Lady H plays the exact way i did three years ago. I only used rares, because of books. Sometimes I used champions without gear first to see if they were any good before I "made them stronger" and I leveled War priest, bombardier and Heriess to 50 and used them in all the content. For any game, I never went to a youtube video ( which to me was akin to using a published game guide) unless I was completly lost.
The way Lady H describes how she would play a game and when to watch those reminds me of how I play Soulsborn games.
This is EXACTLY how I played Elden Ring... and it's so much more rewarding to try first, then seek tips.
WTG Lady H!!!
I started playing Raid because my 12-year-old grandson downloaded it on my phone. He didn't have access to the game all the time since it was on my phone so I helped with the basics. I blindly just went through the campaign without knowing a thing other than I was getting him resources and leveling up his champions. I slowly started going through the challenges etc. I am 50 years old and despite all my children etc being huge gamers I had only done some fun quick sorts of games. I now play both of our accounts daily as I now have my own as well. I love hearing this new content as I had no one to ask about this game and no idea what I was doing. I'm 4 months in on his and 3 months in on mine. I did some things right and others horribly wrong. I didn't start looking for help in the game until I was really confused and stuck if I was going in the right direction. Btw.....on a funny note I ended up getting appointed clan leader on his acct. If they only knew....... 😄 🤣 😂 😆 Please continue these videos. Most of the videos I watch for help end up saying things exactly like "flat" that go over my head. Love you Lady H!!
3:00 - honestly, i found HH & Ash on youtube within my first 24hrs of starting raid. as soon as i get into a game, i search 'top mistakes for beginners' to make sure i don't accidently feed yellow champs to greens, or orange books into blue champs, etc
Wow, this is so relatable to my first Raid Experience, i had zero clue about gear for a long time. I only started to progress after farming the bootshop and crit capping damage dealers.
Also, its quite sad the tutorial is not good enough for new players. Huge thanks for content creators to speed everything up so you can have more fun. Keep it up !
I started the game yesterday and I feel lost half the time, I didn't stumble on these videos until this morning so I can relate with the whole "confused about things" part
I agree with her. On all points. I too play with what I get, and don’t care about legendary champs. I like to just build stuff and see where it goes. She has a great perspective on playing, it should be more common. People treat the game like a job, even if they aren’t paid for it.
Yes I agree with the positive comments on Lady H she is the BEST! Very entertaining and says what we all thought in the beginning of playing this game. It took me months to really get it! the learning curve is steep in this game but once you get it you got it! Lady H Lady H Lady H! more Lady H please! thank you!
You are doing a great job of explaining the game to the missus. I have had to figure it out by myself. Watching videos really helps. I love both of you doing the game together and she asks great questions. I am learning 😌
You two are amazing!
Please, more content like this.
More to come!
I get what Lady H is saying about not wanting to go and learn how to play from internet. When I started, I saw it as a challenge and wanted to learn on my own. The first time I went to watch a video was when I pulled my first lego. I got super excited and wanted to learn how to get the most out of my new toy :)
Absolutely love this! You guys are so cute and it is so much fun to watch :)
1:38 LOL. If it makes any difference, I was probably as lost as Lady H when I started to play. Then I learned all these things new players should do and I started a new account. But my original account started getting some good pulls, I was able to complete the Dreng fusion, barely missed the Helicath fusion, and yeah, I started having a lot of fun in the game despite Plarium's best efforts. So, hang in there, it does get better... before it gets worse again ;)
I first tried to play the game like 3 years ago and it was absolutely impenetrable. Took ages to figure out what everything was.
Spoken like a true master. People only pull shards because they want what they dont have. Mind blown. She just beat RAID: SHADOW LEGENDS.
I love the lady H update! Rachel hit me up any time for questions, if u don’t wanna ask HH 😅 I’m always down to support my fellow lady gamers 💯
🫶🏼
@@ladyh_ 💕
Broooo she roasted him at 1:39 lmfao
HH uploaded his own murder 😂🤣
Lmao 😂
@@ninaarmstrong7744 That was so good! 🤣😂
This video is awesome. Every comment about how refreshing this content is, is 100% accurate. Great video. I'm loving the FTP series. I'm in next year if you guys are doing again!!!
I LOVE Lady H's absolutely honest take on this crazy game we all seem to love, against all odds. Please keep these coming!
edit: @28:34 "While you're off washing the sink or..." DANGER MATE! DANGER!@
What a fresh perspective from Lady H. I have felt that same way many times. Congrats and Great Job! Keep it up.
Im dying Lady H is killing it!! The roast is real!! Keep up he good work on your account, love the series!!! All of you are smashing it
REALLY do enjoy Watching Lady H and teaching her how to play. ITS such a excellent play test that Raid prob should do every ONCE in a while to test out their game, and HOW easily it is to play the game.
SHE really brings up GREAT points about the game doesn't teach her how to play the game.
All the books; YAY all the books slam them in there...
UMMMM THERE goes that epic book. Sometimes you gotta THINK what you say and what you mean.
Great to see Lady H hanging tough and making progress on the best and most frustrating online game ever. Well wishes, and better luck on her next batch of shard pulls. Cheers.
Great video. This reminds me when I was trying to teach my lady this game but she never caught on or tried much lol.
omg, I didn't know what flat means all this time :DDDD that was hilarious :D also, it's awesome she actually does some stuff. The best I could get out of my girl so far, to actually enter to Forbidden planet with me, and I had to watch the Tina Turner musical to win this pleaseure.
when you filtered grey/green you should have filtered stars also. very early on most players are using grey/green for crit gloves and speed boots. when you nuked 93% of her items i cringed.
2:50 i am the type to immediately youtube how to start, well maybe I'll test it out for a bit first, but generally I like my guides
For the gems, I'll go with "D: None of the above". Use them on the gem mine first. Don't bother using them on Masteries until you have someone above 4*, since level 40ish teams can farm all of their own Mastery mats. That said, giving Kael or one of the starting fighters a full set of Masteries all at once (even if it's just up to lvl 4) will definitely make a huge difference quickly.
If u want to explain the damage for new players I would say : the ATK/DEF/HP will be the sword and crit rate is the accorcy of your hit and crit damage is your bower to move your sword
It took me around 2 month to get a stable understanding of gear and masteries
Lady H I hear you as for the shards and gem's I'm with you there to I spend on shards and masteries more than anything simply because the way I play means I don't run out of energy much
Watching you and LadyH always brightens my day. There has to be a multiplayer game you two can play together and make a series out of on TH-cam and Twitch
When you get a 6* legendary artifact and it has terrible stats, would you not keep it just in case your rework turns it into a better piece, or at least one with acc and/or speed?
Y'all are so cute! As a new player (also a woman), Lady H is so refreshing to listen to. Thank you for making me laugh so much. I have such a good time watching these videos. :)
This video is so enjoyable. I think anyone who has played this game awhile can relate to Lady H and some of the frustrations.
4:55 Too true, Lady H. CCs don't realize how much they influence people spending.
Keep on grinding that account Lady H. You are easily the best part of this F2P series. We are rooting for you!
Most important videos you ever posted Mate :) Lady H is the primary customer of RAID....much like I taught my wife , who still has problems with gear and her account is 1.5 mil power
Oh gosh why would you drag a loved one into this cesspool of a game... :P
I could literally just watch daily you both having banter with each other about random things you are both gems keep up the amusing videos :)
I've been having the worst silver luck on my FTP. Not a single 16-artifact has come cheap. My friend has been spending like 200k from 12-16 on a few artifacts. I had a helmet that cost me like 2mil from 15-16.
Those who have been playing for years definitely have a different approach. I downloaded this game on mobile to get diamonds for sniper 3d. There's tons of content and I was lost. I started watching videos where it seemed that any champion could be great with God tier gear. I wasted so many resources on the wrong champs. I still feel I have some champs that should be great but I haven't geared them right. It's a lot and little changes are huge. Knowing how synergies work is tricky. My nuke into nuke following up with more nukes plan generally doesn't work. Does in the beginning. Experience takes some time and patience.
I was today years old when I realized what the circley bit was. Nice.
this should be a sit com, I'll watch every episode.
17:10 and Def% sub stat too, that is a good chest.
"You think it's my fault...?" *"Yeah"* XD love it
Hurts to look when they roll useless resilence over swift parry. They use same material and multiple basic events give the extra stuff.
thanks for the vids , good help but also good banter
this reminds me of EVERY time I tried introducing a girlfriend to one of my autistic hobbies haha. Lady H is an awesome sport. Glad to see her playing her own way and figuring it out!
We stand w Lady H. She needs her own merch line with her sobering wisdom.
I think this video should speak volumes to the CC's who think they are making beginner and tutorial videos for people.
Most of the things CC's say only make sense if they "already" know the game...
Words like "chicken", "farming", "masteries", "food", mean less that NOTHING if you don't have an understanding of the game.
Extremely impressed when I saw the food👍
and now she now knows the struggle is real with silver😆
Perhaps my favorite HH vid yet!
Hope she passed those atk% missions / challenges and HH didn't just sell the gear. :O
This is hilarious 😂 but do you care 😅 I'm dead 😭😭😭 it's all your fault 😂😂😂 Lady H , HH this is comedy gold could watch this true life marriage unfold over raid please make a series 😂😂😂😂❤️🔥
Lady H has a great point when it comes to shards.
Watching him explain this to her is very refreshing lol I even learned some stuff 🤣 and I play everyday
Loving this HH! Reminds me so much of me and my love when I got her playing
did HH sell all common/uncommon artifacts (including 5*s) :p
Once I got UDK on my FTP account I started unlocking masteries. Until then it was 100% gem mine. 15 gems a day = big gains haha.
23:50 Exactly!
Hot dam "all your blues" I feel like Lady H maybe more competitive than OG Hades
Double H you also have to make her understand that there are damaged dealers their h&p healers there are defensive based champions and that'll help her understand how to build each one especially she has free access to the optimizer as well as speed is King in this game. It also she'll be able to transfer from speed into percentage boots later game. Honestly to be able to make it through a lot of levels Iran my players in percentage Boots the whole time early game just to survive at get thru till I could go to speed boots
"Oh, there's enough farming going on isn't there?"
Lady H hitting 800 accuracy at level 32.
Upgrade failure is the most frustrating thing about leveling gear. It's RNG on top of RNG. Let us have some mercy for upgrading gear Plarium!
Lady H is so chill great find Mr. H!
It's a game. Spend the gems on whatever makes it fun for you. Not everyone is trying to keep up with the pros, but If you are (because that's what's fun for you), and you are already "losing" (because others have hit milestones before you), I could argue that pulling shards is a way you might catch up. Especially if you had a bad spin of the wheels to begin with, or haven't pulled anything really good yet (while other have pulled top notch champs already). Also, for some people pulling shards IS the fun part of the game, all the rest is just filler;)
Loving Lady H's 'Oodie. Best way to play Raid is with a cuppa and wearing an Oodie
I think Lady H is right when she wants to do stuff her way instead of blindly following HH.
KEEP GOING!
i absolutely love LADY H, i hope she sees this, seeing her face on this channel brings me joy.
Comments like this bring me joy! 😊
@@ladyh_ ahhhh Lady H replied to me
100% right about play it and then go to youtube. Exactly what I did 2 years ago.
This video is hilarious. LOVED IT!!!
I really enjoyed watching this video! 😄😄
