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.
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.
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
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.
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.
@@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.
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.
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 😊
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
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.
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.
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!
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
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
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 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 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
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 :)
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 💔❤️
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 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 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).
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 💀
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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. 😂
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
you re kidding, Gurgoth is a beast for mid game arena. He doesn't even need books, but acc and speed. This dude will take every beginner to gold V. I still use it after years and years.
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.
Not saying he shouldn’t be on the list, because he is pretty awful, but the stun on Terrorbeast is one of the few two turn stuns. Still not really worth building in most situations, but it is something people forget about.
11:24 OHHHH NOOOO! I am guessing you’ve never seen a Drake video someone did where they actually refused to show their build bc he was their secret weapon in arena…..he showcased him though with a five or 6 star blessing…..and he SMACKED!!!! You def need to give him another look, I think. Def does not belong on this list!! He was one of my first epics on an alt account, and I pulled a 5 star soul on him. Even at just five star rank he was an arena carry for a long while. I always wanted to take him to 6 star. Love ya though!
+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 get it that not every champion can be a winner, but it blows my mind that someone took the time to come up with these abilities, someone else probably signed off on their kits, or do they just spin a giant wheel and wherever it stops that’s what the champion gets? Or do they purposely make a champion terrible? Also in the order of epics in need of buffs, I want Tayrel and Fodbor the Bard to get buffs. Their 4 turn cd on their AOE drop defense is ridiculous. Warmaiden does it better.
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'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.
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.
You can make a video purely from skinwalkers epics, snorting thug got a BUFF and is still unusable. The funniest one for me though is Marksman in the high elves, HellHades website has him flagged as a rare since day one, not sure if an inside joke by them but he's always been an Epic. He was also buffed and is still rubbish.
_I actually love Krakarth she is useful against the Fire Knight..._ _In the Cursed City taking most of the damage from his AOE Attacks,_ _Though My Top 5 Epics That Sucks Is: Infernal Baroness, Yelagirna, Djamarsa,_ _...Pharanox & Theresc both looks cool but they hit like a wet noodle !_
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.
There is a new faction unity Legendary, With Hound Synergy, Terrorbeast would be the only epic Hound he synergizes with, but Fellhound would be better.
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 😂
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.
I would love if Fearmonger and Elder Skarg to get buffs. A team that uses Fear, True Fear, and opportunities without either of those Debuffs. He looks like Jason's great great great grandfather, so why not buff his HP, Attack multipliers, and DEF, COME ON PLARIUM!
Damn I am level 60 and playing for 3 months and I have so many of these trash champions out of the 18 epic champions I have. 1. Bushi 2. Relic keeper 3. Juliana 4. Drake 5. Marksman 6. Lady Etessa 7. Adriel 8. Lady Eresh 9. Terrorbeast 10. Snorting thug. God damn my luck is so bad. Only good epics I have are Seer, Mistreated Monster, Tagoar, Hotatsu. I will use all of them as food once I get Lydia from the faction wars.
A LOT of Juliana love in the comments! I will record a proper spotlight video on her later this week as possible atonement :)
Juiana is pretty bad dude... save yourself the time
@@fredwickarmistat7764 Agree. I was going to tell him the same. She has a poison and a burn... she was good for clan boss in like 2020.

Ash: “Stay positive”
Also Ash: “….the worse terrible epics in the game”
It's good when he provides constructive criticism - they sometimes fix it after he says it. 😂
they are good for food so that is positive
We need more Worst Of lists
Thanks for tuning in ;)
Agreed!
Practically every champion from every rarity.
Bushi is an honored Japanese Warrior who was an early developer of Karate. They did the name so wrong.
Thanks man!

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.

RE: Tolf
HH had a shogun solo strat with him, might be noteworthy.

@@ASH-RAID Absolutely! Big fan! :D
I love that he passively just removes shields.
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 don't have any hope that they'll buff anything Epic or lower. Their bread and butter is Legendaries and mythics.
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.
3 months into the game and Juliana is my main damage dealer, almost 2key CB nightmare.
you missed that on terrorbeast its an HP based champion but 2/3 of their skills are based off attack, the other off HP
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.
Missionary has no position in this game. 😂

A LOT of Juliana love in the comments. I’ll record a full test/spotlight video on her later this week as atonement :)
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.
Tolf has the one use of being able to solo his one spot, since the "can't crit" is also "can't weak hit".
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 ;)
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 :)
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.
Thanks for tuning in ;)
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 💔❤️
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 ;)
As provoker i love using rock breaker (epic) and torrux (rare)
Tolf: One of the worst epics in the game.
Also Tolf: Excuse me while I solo Shogun stage 25.
Much love Ash.
Thanks for tuning in ;)
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.
The last Lego from DT Hard is Ginro, which is arguably a worse insult than getting Krakarth from DT Normal.
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).
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 💀
10:01 "I don't want that" lmao
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.
Warden and Shaman were my first level 60's 🤣
Man, my account's come a long way since then...
Lol... Thanks for tuning in ;)
marksman is part of several waves. buffing him simply makes campaign waves for beginners more dangerous. which might not be what the designers want
My father had a similar Instagram-like quote: "No matter where you go, there you are."
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.
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
so should we eat them
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
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.
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
When you play raid, plarium is in control. There is no other way around.
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
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
1:46 - oh, that was painful. I got a Gurgoh this weekend. My void pulls are terrible.
@5:49 lol
Peace and love to you Ash! I come for the RAID content, and stay for all of the positivity!
Thanks man! I appreciate it :)
Adriel was really important to me early on - the heal and reflect damage were some of what limited sustain I had. Still haven't gotten rid of her.
Honorable mentions:
Hexia
Hellgazer
Theresc
Chonuru
Pharnox is nice
@@Chillslick_ ok in my opinion no
@tobiasvorreiter315 I can respect that. I just pulled her the other day (2 month old account) & I definitely needed a good DPS damage dealer.
Ash literally just made a video all about pharnox 😂
@@JJ-ql8yc yes I know 😀
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.
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.
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. 😂
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
Im sad to see frosybringer, i would like a buff for her but shes so pivotal for a bunch of my teams! Really valuable
you re kidding, Gurgoth is a beast for mid game arena. He doesn't even need books, but acc and speed. This dude will take every beginner to gold V. I still use it after years and years.
21:15 The fun is a2 animation is like aoe, but just attack on 2 enemies 😂
Ash smoked some gooood stuff today! Love his style. Trashing epics like whole NBA trashed Bronny's first games as a Laker. 😂😂😂
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.
Relic Keeper carried me in campaign, carried me to Gold 3 in Arena. Relic Keeper is my favorite OG character.
2:10 Gurgoh was my first void legendary and then I got a dupe of him on my 3rd or 4th…..I was so bummed. Still never 6’d him.
Krakarth could potentially solo the sand devil with her revive on death. Would take ages to complete, but she could do it, theoretically 😅
Not saying he shouldn’t be on the list, because he is pretty awful, but the stun on Terrorbeast is one of the few two turn stuns. Still not really worth building in most situations, but it is something people forget about.
11:24 OHHHH NOOOO! I am guessing you’ve never seen a Drake video someone did where they actually refused to show their build bc he was their secret weapon in arena…..he showcased him though with a five or 6 star blessing…..and he SMACKED!!!!
You def need to give him another look, I think. Def does not belong on this list!!
He was one of my first epics on an alt account, and I pulled a 5 star soul on him. Even at just five star rank he was an arena carry for a long while. I always wanted to take him to 6 star.
Love ya though!
+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
Reflect demage is counter wave aoe cleaner and i yet really like play around with relicekeeper thats fun
Terror beast's A1 A3 scales of his attack but he is a Hp champion
Thanks for tuning in ;)
Drake really helped me in faction wars in mid game but I can see the argument for end game
I get it that not every champion can be a winner, but it blows my mind that someone took the time to come up with these abilities, someone else probably signed off on their kits, or do they just spin a giant wheel and wherever it stops that’s what the champion gets? Or do they purposely make a champion terrible?
Also in the order of epics in need of buffs, I want Tayrel and Fodbor the Bard to get buffs. Their 4 turn cd on their AOE drop defense is ridiculous. Warmaiden does it better.
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'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.
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 :)
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
You can make a video purely from skinwalkers epics, snorting thug got a BUFF and is still unusable. The funniest one for me though is Marksman in the high elves, HellHades website has him flagged as a rare since day one, not sure if an inside joke by them but he's always been an Epic. He was also buffed and is still rubbish.
_I actually love Krakarth she is useful against the Fire Knight..._
_In the Cursed City taking most of the damage from his AOE Attacks,_
_Though My Top 5 Epics That Sucks Is: Infernal Baroness, Yelagirna, Djamarsa,_
_...Pharanox & Theresc both looks cool but they hit like a wet noodle !_
THE SNORTSTER! I nearly spit out my coffee!!!! LOLOLOLOL
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.
Omg, I loved this video, I found myself laughing out loud so many times! Just wish Harrier was mentioned more often 😂
Frostbringer is my Arena Buffer for my ToD teams. As she's got really high base speed. Anywhere else isn't good
Right after I built bushy with swift parry gear dang
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.
There is a new faction unity Legendary, With Hound Synergy, Terrorbeast would be the only epic Hound he synergizes with, but Fellhound would be better.
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 :)
am newish to the game and got emo kael a few weeks ago. Thank you for convincing me to not build.
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 ;)
I would love if Fearmonger and Elder Skarg to get buffs. A team that uses Fear, True Fear, and opportunities without either of those Debuffs. He looks like Jason's great great great grandfather, so why not buff his HP, Attack multipliers, and DEF, COME ON PLARIUM!
One of Ashs vids that I shouldve seen before leveling trash argh.
Thanks for watching ;)
I LOVE YOU ASH! Whooo! The content, the editing. It's peak man, keep it up brother!
Thanks man! Glad you like it ;)
Damn I am level 60 and playing for 3 months and I have so many of these trash champions out of the 18 epic champions I have. 1. Bushi 2. Relic keeper 3. Juliana 4. Drake 5. Marksman 6. Lady Etessa 7. Adriel 8. Lady Eresh 9. Terrorbeast 10. Snorting thug. God damn my luck is so bad. Only good epics I have are Seer, Mistreated Monster, Tagoar, Hotatsu. I will use all of them as food once I get Lydia from the faction wars.
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
Tolf doesn't crit, but also doesn't weak hit and can solo Shogun. Check it.
