- I walk you through my method for cleansing gear, and talk you through how I make decisions about each and every gear set as I go.

Just a question: early on the video you sell some 6* epic crit rate defence gloves that could go on Peydma but ended up with a double roll on resist (they also had speed and a single roll on acc). Your rationale was that no one in your roster would use a defence set piece with such stats, but what about using it as an off-piece. How do you evaluate gear keeping in mind that they can be used as off-pieces?
@ElGnomistico GREAT question! I debated about that piece a little bit. There are a few reasons I didn't explain in the video. 1 - I have a TON of really high level Resilience gear, so if I need a piece with rolls like that, I can probably find it in Resilience. 2 - I generally don't use off-pieces unless they are amazing. I know the phrase "stats over sets" gets pushed pretty hard, but I think it's an oversimplification. I intend to do a video breaking down this concept at some point. 3 - Sometimes you just have to make some hard calls about "on the bubble" pieces of gear. If I had 2-300 inventory spots free, I probably would have kept the piece, but I don't, so I made the call to let it go. I hope that answers your question! Thanks for the comment!
@@ColredPlaysRSL yeah, that clarifies your decision pretty well, thanks for explaining it!
@@ColredPlaysRSLgreat vid btw, I just wanna add another ps: I don't fully agree with your view on stalwart. While it's certainly great in a defensive build, basically making a behemoth of a tank, it's also fantastic for very squishy clan boss/hydra damage dealers such as Fayne or Anax, with fairly low base HP and defense. I wouldn't be surprised if a stalwart set on those champs would be more effective than 6* def% chest + gloves.
@ElGnomistico That's an interesting idea. I would say that you're right - it's certainly possible in some scenarios that stalwart on a damage dealer would work out in your favor, but I would suggest that's most likely in the mid game when your roster is still lacking key roles. Optimally, you want to build your damage dealers solely for damage and keep them alive through the abilities of your supports, not through defensive stats or sets. Maybe not in every single case (like Coldheart for example), but that should definitely be your general goal at end game.
video gem after video gem.
the gift that keeps on giving. thanks for the great content for new/early/mid level players Colred.
@reignmans You're welcome! And thanks for all the positivity and encouragement. It really helps to keep me motivated!
This has been great I did a cleanse along with you and came out with several million ahead in silver.
@cooking-oj8me Way to go! That makes me happy to hear.
Another awesome video! I can't wait to watch this because sometimes I ask myself whether I should keep a certain gear or not and it just ends up in my storage. But yeah thank you for helping everyone be a lot less confused with each videos you make. Honestly don't know why you don't have at least like 10K+ subs. You're very underrated :).
I do have a suggestion though. I don't know if you can do this or not, but maybe you can add chapters to your videos when you go over different parts, that way us viewers can just click on the section we want to learn about or confused about instead of skimming through the video to find it. Again, I don't know if you can do this or not but It would be good if you did this for future videos moving forward. Anyway that's all! Thank's for helping us Early-game players out!
@alikecooljordan4510 Hey, I appreciate it. I'm glad you're finding the videos informative. As for your suggestion, we can do and have done chapters before, but sometimes when it's a race against the clock to get a video out after work, some things can slip through the cracks. I will try to keep it in mind though. I like chapters when I watch videos too! Thanks for the suggestion.
@@ColredPlaysRSL Your Welcome 😄
I’ve been playing Raid for about six months and still feel like a noob. This video was extremely helpful. Thanks.
@scottclapp7993 You are welcome! I'm glad the video helped.
Thank you so much for this video Colred i followed along with you and was very fun and educational i sell like 5m of old gear that didn't realise i dont need it.
Awesome! I have to do an update of this video though. So many more gear sets now!
Sooo helpful, I finally took the time to clear out my gear!! Sooo much silver now. I was already at the point of just selling 5* (most of it anyway) and I now have better idea of what pieces to keep within each set. Mind you, I have watched plenty of other gear cleanses, but only now have I actually taken the time. Thanks Colred.
@steve11b29 I always procrastinate about gear cleanses, but when I do one, I always feel so much better about my account. Thanks for joining me this time!
@@ColredPlaysRSL No problem man! Long overdue anyway.
Just found your channel- newish player, and you're an absolute wizard. thank you so much for the video, colred!!
Subscribed!!
@davidbarratt8137 Thanks! And welcome to the channel!
Great video! Ive been playing over a year and never felt comfortable enough to do a full gear clensw until now after watching this. Thank you your very much appreciated!
@richardclifton1226 That's great! Gear cleanses are both no fun and kind of daunting, because you don't want to make a mistake and throw out useful gear. But it's a necessary evil. Glad my video helped you get it done.
Best gear cleanse video I've watched. Thank you!
@samcoates8944 Thank you! I'm glad it helped.
I really appreciate the deeper dive into all the gear!!!
I saved this video for weeks before I was able to set aside the time to watch it while cleaning out my inventory. Very helpful info but I think an update to include newer sets would be great. I appreciate you. I was able to make 300 spots available. I've been maxed mailbox for months so this was a huge help.
@ervinsmith2677 Glad it helped! Yeah, I could probably do an update. But, you know, cleansing gear...
Another great video, Colred! Thanks for your guidance. Keep pushing to the top!
@user-qf7hr2bp6v Thank you, thank you! I'm glad you're enjoying the videos!
I'm on my fifth video from you at this moment and I thoroughly appreciate the way you explain the ✨why✨ behind your decisions because I often get stuck here. Thank you for making this content. The bits about which stats ✨and substat ✨ combos to look for on accessories and such was especially good because I get hung on THAT a lot. For example, I didn't know how little ATK% matters as a substat on Attack champions relative to things like crit rate and crit damage. I'm about to drop so many things and I'm feeling pretty confident it will push some of these champs I have forward.
@synxiec That's great! Thank you for sharing this story. I make these videos to help players, but I always have to guess at how much information is enough and how much is too much. It's good to hear that (for this video at least) I'm hitting the mark in that regard. Thanks so much, and good luck with the game!
@@ColredPlaysRSL Somehow after nearly a year, I thought of a question: when you're looking for things like the main stat for a Speed Set (or any set), do you look for double rolls into the target stat?
For example, in a resilience set, do you look for double HP%/DEF% rolls? Do you look for double ACC or SPD rolls on Perception? Etc.
Also are C.DMG% gloves with CR% substat the goal when looking at gloves for damage dealers? When are CR% gloves a better idea?
whatsup colred , im revisiting this video ! 👀
man such a great guide video. ive recently been trying to upgrade my champions gear so this video is such a good guide to come back too
@noahleyba881 Hey Noah! Thanks! I've tried to really focus on creating as many guides as possible early in my channel's history. I just want to make sure that players, no matter where they are in the game or in their account's progression, have video resources available to guide them through all the different aspects of RAID. So I'm very glad to know that you're continuing to find this video useful. 👍
@@ColredPlaysRSL yup yup ! definitely very helpful and useful. .i actually was watching this video and was even replaying it back to back over night 😅👀HAHAA. spent about 6 hours straight watching,rewatching and working on my champions builds 😇❗️
@@ColredPlaysRSL and I gotta tell you man. you make all these guide videos so great! you nail every single one. I could watch only your video guides and no other ones nd be able to learn everything 🤝🏽🤓‼️
@noahleyba881 Well, I'm glad you're finding them useful, but there's so much more content I still haven't covered yet. Gotta keep on that grind. Thanks for the comment!
Perfect video Topic 😆! ive been getting more into learning all the different sets. I know it costs a lot of silver to swap gear but i alwYs change gear when im done leveling them
@noahleyba881 Thanks Noah!
@@ColredPlaysRSLalso could u possibly make a video explaining more about how to know which gear sets and gear stats are best for each role on your team.
@noahleyba881 So I haven't done that for every role in a single video, but both my Arena Nuker video and my Support video discuss stats and sets you want on those types of champions. The next best thing may be champion guides that cover how to gear individual champions depending on the fights you're taking them into. I will try to do more of those types of videos in the future.
Great vid . Always wanted to know how to do this
@liamdavis688 Thanks! I know it was a long vid, and I KNOW that gear cleanses are no fun, but I figured it was a very helpful topic, AND I needed to do one anyway, so...I'm glad you found it helpful.😅
@@ColredPlaysRSL long vids are better
Colred just subscribed , after watching 1 2 3 4 of the clan boss vids, great job!! Any chance when you talk about unequipped gear you could move yourself to the right so we can see visually
how the rolls went?
@barry5532 I'm trying! I actually am getting better about moving myself around on the screen so as to block the important stuff less often. Thanks for the note!
Good to do this while using the clan quest sell artifacts for 2m or 5m
@iangodwin5282 Nice tip! I actually remembered to do that this week too! 🫡
@@ColredPlaysRSL double dip whenever possible
Dude, apparently I have A LOT to learn here lol when you just said those boots and gauntlet are trash I was thinking they looked pretty good 😂
@andrelinoge6810 Heh. Well, the same gear will look different depending on where you are in your account progression. So keep that in mind. Also, you're doing the research, that's the important thing. You'll get the hang of it. Good luck!
Great vdeo. Alot of great info. Thank you
@charliemonfee7714 Excellent. I'm glad you found the video helpful. Thank you!
With regard to flat stats - are they actually more valuable than pc stats for champions with low base stats?
Also, dont forget ores if you have a rare set with terrible stats, you get a 2nd chance to improve the piece.
Really enjoying your content. Thank you
@DUNCdslr That a very good question, and the answer is...yes and no. Yes for SOME champions at lvl 40 or 50. No for ALL champions at level 60, at least as far as I've been able to calculate. There may be an exception, but I have yet to come across a lvl 60 champ that doesn't have enough of a NEEDED base stat for the benefit of flat stat gear to outweigh pc gear (I haven't looked at base ATK stats for DEF based champions, for instance).
Raid should extend storage space to 5k now
@KozyKoti I agree. They've added so many new sets, it's very difficult to have any kind of decent stockpile. I've taken to just blind selling certain less valuable sets to make room in storage for the new, more powerful gear.
I would maybe roll legendary speed gear to 8 and 12 if it rolls the same to potentially chaos ore it, or even check if it starts doing like a triple crit rate
@Toedju That's true. I didn't mention chaos ore at all, but that's a decent method for getting some extra value. Thanks!
Great video it help me a lot
@jesusmontalvo35 That's great! I'm glad it was useful.
Been doing this cleansing the last few days
@Sagern234 Good for you! I definitely need to get in there for a second round. I didn't finish because I didn't want the video to run 2+ hours.
I have watched this video 100 times, I get distracted and lose myself
Being older, I think i need to take physical notes
The video is a little rough around the edges too. I was still figuring things out. I should remake the video. Clarify things. Still good info in there though.
A niche case for Destroy set would be Vergis. He requires speed, resistance and def%/hp% to solo Scarab. You would focus on that over crit rate and crit dmg. He will dmg scarab with warmaster.
@Silirion That's a good note. Vergis can do some good work. Thanks!
Very helpful thank you
@cornettric You are welcome!
Great video, thank you....
@firestarterny279 You are very welcome!
Isn't stats priority over sets? Even if the piece if from a curing set, you can keep an item which has 3 rolls on crit rate and 1 roll on crit dmg to jack up 100% crit rate. Lots of my champs have broken sets with 100% ceit rate and 250+ crit dmg.
@taemeister9302 I've made other videos on that, but sure. As long as your system works for you.
Doesn't stats take precedence over sets? I would never sell. Crit dmg/rate item with speed no matter the set. I van gear a champ sith btoken sets before finding the correct matching sets with similar/greater stats
@taemeister9302 Yeah, that's a debate you can have. I've done a video on that as well. My stance is that stat pieces in bad sets are trap pieces. Usable in early and early-mid game that then become a bad habit you need to break later on. But you should do what works for you.
Aloha, i like this video, gear is hard to roll or sell, i like to videos for gear rolling tips
@eaf94civic Mahalo! I'm glad you enjoyed the video!
Thanks!
Thank you very much. But please move yourself to the right side of the screen so we can see the gear subs
@latala43 I don't know what it is, but I've got a mental block about moving myself on screen. I will try to do better. I AM trying to do better. Thanks for the suggestion!
@@ColredPlaysRSL Thank you
nice video, but next time pls push yourself on another corner of the screen so we can see the stats of the items
@thomasz6138 Yeah, this is an old video. I've gotten better. :D
Gear cleanse videos arent sexy, but they are necessary. i watch them because each time I mentally let go of another piece of gear that Im holding onto for a champion that I never will get. You were ruthless for a few of those pieces, but we all keep too many pieces for broken sets anyway. One thing I just kind of started doing is counting up the potential roll on pieces and using that to sort as well. Now currently I sell any gear that have a roll under 14 for a stat, if I have a ton of those pieces. So if I have 12 pieces with crit rate at 15-20 I sell all pieces 14 and lower per set. i need to get tough and start selling five star speed boots.
@doro626 You've got the right mentality. It can be tough if you always focus on "what if" or "maybe someday." Go by the numbers, create a system that makes sense to you, and then be cold about it. Otherwise you end up with an inventory full of 6* blue gear that's got 1 roll in everything, and that's not helping anyone.
"You aren't going to use lifesteal on a bomb champ"...
Thinks about my rat in such...
Unless your life steal is great or your bomb champ is built for clan boss, it's not a very good choice. Bomb champs usually don't deal a ton of hit damage bc you don't build crit on them, so they're just not gonna recover a lot of life with their attacks.
@ITPalGame Bomb champs' stat needs are somewhat more similar to debuffers than to other nukers. They need ACC and Speed and then all ATK. They get much less value from Crit. Rate and Crit DMG. So perception, speed, and accuracy sets are much more beneficial than lifesteal to a bomb champion.
@@ColredPlaysRSL
And you can't get that from lifesteal?
I was commenting on having it being a low end player, which helps in healing.
These are the current stats:
35, 934 hp
3045 atk
14 11 def
155 speed
48 cr
121 cd
52 res
234 acc
I assume this is on Gnishak? So let's just say you swapped your Lifesteal set for 4 pieces of Perception with all the same rolls. Your speed would go from 155 to 166 and your ACC jump from 234 to 314. That's still too slow, but better, but now your Gnishak will land his bombs on dungeon bosses all the way up to Stage 25, instead of being resisted at stages 19-20. You're also within 20 ACC of what you need for UNM CB.
The Lifesteal set is good for damage dealers in the early- to mid-game. It can make up for bad stats and a worse roster for a while. But once you start pushing into the higher difficulty levels of fights, you'll need to take your nukers out of lifesteal and instead keep them alive through proper team composition. Obviously, if you don't have the roster yet to do that, lifesteal still makes sense. But the goal is to get everyone you can out of lifesteal eventually.
I hope that clarifies the point. Thanks for the question!
And please side yourself over a little so we can see the stats better. Thanks
2 years in and you still keep 5 star rare and epic? I'm way beyond rare and I only save perfect pieces on specific gear sets that are very hard to get if they are 5 star epic. I'm level 85...
Would be great if you weren't sat in front of the gear you're talking about.
@orange5proDH Agreed. But this video is a little bit older. I'm learning to be better about that.
Apart from that, it's great info that I desperately needed. Many thanks.
3700 for my dungeon divers event 😄
Great video as content. Next time maybe watch the video before you publish it. Item stats are below you.
Yeah, that's the mistake we made on this one. We've learned a bit in the past 13-14 months though. 🫡
I think u under estimate the power of broken sets.
You don't get anything for having less gear.
Not sure what you mean.If you cleanse the bad gear in your storage that you're not going to use, you get silver, plus free up inventory space for new, better gear.
@ColredPlaysRSL You're wrong. You're all looking at this wrong I promise you. You, Ash, Nub, HH, ect. This is not a normal game. It's pay to play. Logic need not apply.
I always wanted to chime in on raid as a very low level content creator. I'm gonna set up a channel and do so. No green screen as I don't have that setup yet, just me. I'm gonna make the leap. I'll let you know when it's up and then you can tell me and everyone else for that matter if I'm right or wrong on my thinking. I'd always love a lively debate.
Cheers and good luck! 👍😁
PS, if you want to suggest the software you use for me down the road, I'd sure appreciate it. Thanks.
