Also my first fusion. Never thought I'd actually complete one lol but this one actually felt easy. All the cards must have lined up perfectly for me or something.
My 1st fusion aswell. I already maxed him (lvl 60), no books, no masteries and I just completed his Faction from FW. He is a monster against any wave. Absolutely insane support!
Only like 200 Dungeon Divers points away from my last fragments. I'm pumped! On a side note, some mid-game progression content would be great. Something like "how to beat common roadblocks for Faction Wars Stages/Waves by Faction" would be helpful.
Got two of the epics fusions, but not going for Armanz himself. Although I know he's amazing, I've never been able to get close to any Fusion, and I don't like saving up my resources just to be able to accomplish them. But I do know that he is probably the best champion in the game. Also, no Lydia for me either. I have several completed Factions, but Shadowkin and Sylvan Watchers aren't even close. That being said, this game really is AMAZING! Being mostly F2P (I've spent some here and there) for my 1.5 years playing, I can safely say that Raid just doesn't seem to lose it's luster and thrill. Truly amazing how well deigned it is.
Finished off the fusion Sunday night on my now mostly FtP and I can't wait to build this guy out & start wrecking face in all PvE content! 2024 so far has been just pure insanity for my account; - got Nergigante Archer from her champ training tournament - completed Armanz fusion - pulled Valkyrie + Michinaki during the POGO on Ancient shards I've gone from being a total weaksauce account to now being able to start into Doom Tower, fully re-building my Clan Boss team, AND, Archer Queen unlocking Hydra content!! can't wait for the more in-depth Armanz vid on the Champion channel! ;-)
I fused him Sunday and I’m FTP. He’s my first fusion. I’m so glad I saved up the energy to get him now it’s game over for all the content. Thanks for the videos Ash.
I did go for this fusion, because I concentrated on recovering all my resources as much as possible after the last one I did. And that helped: I had enough energy to recover the silver I had to spend on artifact enhancement. (My main choke point this time around was food champions--I simply did not have enough. So that's something I have to really pay attention to, going forward.) I pulled Armanz las night--actually, in the wee hours of this morning. And that's it! I didn't even look at him; just went to bed, lol! But hopefully, he will make a huge difference in my progression, because one enormous obstacle for me has been all the various Arenas.

Great video! I really appreciate you reading the Lydia survey and considering your approach. It gets frustrating to me that it seems very common among content creators to label Lydia and Arbiter and others as 'free' because you get them with progress. But I'm 3+ years into my account, plenty of spending, and I only got them in the last few weeks and they're not even built yet. So it's really nice to see you considering the feedback that more matches my experience.
You are spending and just got Arbiter after three years? You are either using all your ressources very wrong or/and probably spend your money on the wrong things. I'm playing for not even three months and I'm very close to having Arbiter, probably in like a week or so (only thing slowing me down is waiting for the different Keeps to open on different days of the week). I'm not a whale or anything maybe spent like 30-50€ per month on energy packs with good value (220+ energy per €, no clue about $ prices) but that's it.

I completed fusion cpl days ago. He's an absolute game changer. This dude just doesn't let the enemy team have a turn. As soon as he goes, it's over. Soooooooo glad I went and got him. He's a beast!
Absolutely loving Armanz! Managed to get him on my main, and the F2P (took every ounce of energy lmfao). Currently running him in Reflex and shutting off the A3 for PvE content. Triple Perception definitely seems like a great way to go too, the good ole reliable. Gonna hopefully be able to beat Nightmare 12-7 on the F2P using him once I book his A2 out.
Fusion finished and also got Padraig. I’m mid game and will probably get Lydia later this year. Recently went back into missions and got Arbiter. I’d been distracted by fusions, and was genuinely surprised by how quickly I finished off the last few missions. It wasn’t a bad thing, since it meant I’d held off fusing Rhazin until a few days after that mission came up so it was during the Champ Chase.
I went all in for this dude, I was away on the 1st weekend and cut it really close and just got the 4th khafru! waiting for tomorrows champ training to level the last epic and summon him 😊
my strategy as well. I could have gotten him earlier, but that meant spending extra 3k energy for dungeon divers to get him in time for previous champion training.
This will be my first ever Completed Fusion as FTP. 😅 I'm not sure why people say they've played for years and never completed one. Just save your stuff for a few weeks and I was able to get one FINALLY. I'm looking forward to it. Thanks for the guide Ash! 🙏 My Account would be complete trash without your help. Lol
When you say a few weeks. What do you just log in do CB UNM, NM and brutal than just log off and redeem shards every week for a year or whatever until the next fusion?
@@thedoomslayer5863 I usually do whatever dailies I can do and sometimes go for the most rewards to whatever side events or tournaments that are going on. I never use my gems unless it's for stamina for an event. I can typically go from One Fusion to the next. Ultra Nightmare key, Nightmare Key, and 2 Brutal Keys daily. If you time it right, you'll always get those rewards which give you a high chance of getting sacred shards
Insane Champ. I put him in Stone Skin + Perception and he is wrecking Arena teams that I had trouble with before. Arguably the best Fusion champ to date.
I got him today as FTP. Second fusion, after Gnut, I went for. I havent even maxed him yet and he already does good work in arena. Looking forward to your more in depth guide next week!
Endgame, F2P. I was pulling void shards and got the void epic needed, so I was able to fuse Armanz earlier. But wait, there's more: I also got my first Acrizia, Ursuga and the new high elf fraction-bonus lego. And here I was thinking where are my useful legos 😁 Well, back to Armanz. This champion is broken. Love him. It was clear from the beginning judging by his skill set he would be insane, but actually seeing him in action is mind blowing. Probably the best fusion EVER. Thanks for a showcase, Ash. Peace! 🙏
I was so happy to get Nergigante Archer for incredible control, and now I have Armanz as well, any content that allows Barbarians into the battle is finished! Such a powerful duo of "no you don't get a turn, but if you ever do, you'll be attacking Archer, increasing her defense"
I've been playing for a little over a year, and this is the first fusion/fragment summon champion I've gone for (very low spend account). Completed the fusion. Glad I started saving resources and shards after the Christmas Tormin event. Can't wait to get him built.
Went for my first fusion. Got him before the hero path already enjoying the progression. I’m only 170 days in low spent. So chuffed to have been able to get him. Thanks to content creators like you ash. Showing the knowledge
I have Arbiter, Armanz, Mithrala, and big bad Gharol for arena team. I was doing ok with Lady kimi, but now Armanz might be my ticket to Platinum Arena. Great video Ash! Always a pleasure.
I'm still squarely in the midgame, just about a year in, definitely no Lydia lol, I still haven't even gone for a single fusion and I love the Mythical videos. They're fun to watch do their thing, as are you lol. Keep 'em coming, as far as I'm concerned!
Got super lucky and pulled one of the food champs in the champ chase so saved me a lot of grind, fused him a couple days ago. Wanted to do a gear cleanse and forge a bunch more perception gear before I build him, looking like I can get him close to 300 speed and 500 accuracy, not amazing but I’m f2p, so it is what it is, hopefully I’ll get lucky and hit a couple 3x speed rolls and not have to mule around much gear. Got a love hate for the guy, don’t know that he’s great for the game, but he’s the type you have to get if you want to be relevant in pvp. He will help out immensely in a lot of the over stuff though for everyone, so that’s pretty cool.
"taking a big hit on accuracy here" *Proceeds to show his character that is twice as accurate as my most accurate Geo* Edit: dang guys, chill in the replies. I'm just making a comparison and y'all acting like I'm hating
Endgame gear, man... I think part of it is that he ascends most of his gear...Midgame players usually don't focus on gear ascensions that much... Also, no one likes farming sand devil and phantom shogun
700 accuracy is not super high for end game players, even free to play end game players. 350 accuracy would be weak for most end game content. i don't get why people make these complaining comments
@@jarrettrowlett4601 Standards are a lot lower for non-endgame players who don't have all that good gear saved up. From what you're saying, I'm guessing you're an endgame player yourself, and it's probably been years since you were at the point where you thought 350 acc was good.
the great hall, that live arena hall, and faction guardians make a massive unfair advantage between regular and end game/ whale players. the highest ACC I have is 505 on the rat king and im only lvl 7 of the great hall
I got him. He's made a massive impact on my account already. I haven't booked him yet as I haven't any but any dungeon I've put him in the waves haven't taken a turn. Arena I'm winning against teams I struggled with before. Love him.
You Crack me up man...the most comedy out of all the content creator's...freakin awesome...always make my day better when I watch your videos...keep it up brother
I'm in the process of building him through mino as I write this. I won't book him until CvC. However, I decided to go up against him in LA just to see what he could do. My team in that fight was Ankora, Narses, Pythion and Stoneskin UDK (Wukon got banned). I never got a turn. he is bonkers good, and I can't wait to have him in my teams, even though I know he's a no brainer to ban. I can at least have the team I want in there, and if they do let him through, I'll have complete control (assuming I'm faster). He is going to have some of my Arbiter's speed gear, and she will have my second best gear, he's that good.
I just pulled 2 armanzes from the current prism summonings. I'm super excited to finally have a good arena champ to go with my harima and to counter sun wukong. It's amazing watching him just doing what he does.
I love this guy! With him I can be competitive in arena finally. I just did a 430k punch up against four mythicals in arena. Team comp: Padraig, Georgid, Armanz and Sun wu kong.
This is my first non-permanent fusion I've been able to complete. He's mine and he is absolutely amazing! I have him relentless, perception and one accessory of slayer. He is OP! Trying to have as much fun with him as I can until they nerf him. 🎉 I'm in love with this champ!
Thanks for the video dude, i just got the fusion today and haven't had chance to use rank/build him yet 👍 I used to be a low spender but i've been F2P for the last 2 years and managed to get Helicath/Gnishak/Gnut/tomb dreng/ukko and now Armanz
I got him. Honestly, and I am shocked, for a unit that is great for all accounts like this, that the fusion wasn't on max difficulty. It felt like a usual fusion. Emic's fusion took everything out of me. But this fusion felt normal and I'm ready to recuperate and do the next fusion. With Emic, I couldn't and needed a break it was that arduous.
I ❤ him as well . Get him yesterday ... i play him jut on 5 Stars Level 1 and He Controlled all!! I will put some books on him to Max him out at the next Events! Pure ❤ to this Pirate
Your poll is great, man. Love the idea. I have Lydia, but I still really enjoy hearing great Faction War content. Maybe something in there to speed up my runs *and* help with Cursed Ciry
He can easily solo the spider and any boss that can have their turn meter stolen at lvl 1 5* if you have speed and accuracy. Getting him booked is a must on that A2 And it's not just bosses, he can solo any content that doesn't have immunity to turn meter steal or stuns, or that contains force champions. Again, still at lvl 1 5*. At the moment i can think of Tormin the Cold and Doompriest, and any champion with similar abilities as great "counters" to Armanz.
I also went crazy for this guy as my first fusion. Had to end up buying energy for the last dungeon divers which i wasnt happy about but im stoked to get him
Exciting week this week as a FTP player. Got Armanz, Mithrala and Seer all in one week. This guy with Blizaar seems to get me through waves everywhere without taking a hit.
hey ash, i know its been a bit since i reccomended you "the good doctor", just wanted to ask if you managed to take a look at it. Also, can you do a guide on tagoar? i see that you have one thats 10 months old but i dont know if thats already too long ago (like if the guide is still accurate or not)
Got this dude over the weekend and DAMN this dude is incredible. It is almost unfair if paired with the right team in arena but I need him to progress. And what’s ironic is I just accomplished getting Deathsiren and used her in the campion chase event to help put me over to getting Armanz. And for the record, Numba 1 Stunna was a Cash Money thing (lil Wayne, Juvenile, Big Timaz, BG etc.) not Nelly. No biggie though.
Live Arena will change, now. Mine is still at 1, unbooked (waiting for cvc), but equipped. with support his kit is so broken that he's been a bright star in all PVE and much standard Arena ( Gold V). Crazy, crazy champ.
Hey Ash! Catch idea for video - Champions that are bulid not according to it's tag. Most know example is Seer, as she is tagged support, but everyone bulid her as turbo nuke. Or Alure, despite attack tag she is most often mentioned as A1 support lockout champion, not damage. I wonder is there are other nice uses of building incorrect tag :D
to be honest at first i didn't really feel like going for him and especially because he's barbarian and I'm on the faction war grind right now and have finished barbarians, but then i just went screw it, I'm going for him, took me everything but i got him. i might not upgrade him right away but i have him and I'm sure will become really important for me later on.
I got super lucky and pulled one of the epics from a void shard, so was able to get him early into the fusion, but I havent built him yet 😬 not sure how impactful he will be. But we will see after I finish watching your video.
I think its a good wave control option for all out there who couldnt get the hands on Archer like me. On the other hand: this guy with Archer in the same team... Who should get a single turn? Because they are different affinity too, so an answer to every team.
Got my Armanz today also! This was my 1st fusion so far and not quite as hard as I thought it would be….. now to scrounge up rss to build him! I have books but otherwise rss broke!
I completed the fusion Sunday morning. I have him Level 50 fully ascended. It's hard to rank up champions on my main account but I'll let you know what i think after I get him built. Love your content Ash
Got my Armanz and pulled Ankora completing the fusion. I skipped Ankora. Couldn't have got both without it. I see why they did the fusion right on the back of the new power couple. Anyone that went for Ankora is out of gas, or has to fill the tank with cash. Tricky SoBs 😆 I'm trying for 9pc Supersonic for him. Right now, he's Perception/Revenge
I'm one of the 8k who went for him and I actually got him! I'm stoked to build him out and get him to use in PvE mostly (I really don't care that much about PvP in any game...)! I do love that you still recommend Harvest Despair on champions who put out the stuns. I use my Scyl in a stun set with Harvest Despair and it's nuts how many leeches she puts out there for me wherever I use her! Very helpful and underrated mastery!! I don't think Brimstone is as useful with this champion in either PvP OR PvE since he keeps stealing all the turn meters of all enemies, which won't allow them to take a turn and thus not allow the Smite to happen....
I got him on both of my F2P-accts... I didn't summon him yet though. (and yes, I do have Lydia the Deathsiren too, she was one of my pre-playing Raid goals, to see if I could get her as a F2P-user...) are those THE +4 rolled gloves shown again?! =)
I'll be on holidays for like 2 weeks and barely able to play, but I'm looking forward to building him and a few other champs I've gotten, like Mikage and Archer. Half expecting him to get his first nerf by the time I get around to do it 😂
I need 25 more fragments to get the last epic for the fusion. Just need to spend some of my clover coin things. Wasn’t sure if I would be able to get enough of the coins to get the champion off there but it seems more likely that I won’t, so I am gonna skip the last bit of dungeon divers and get the fragments with my clover coins. As for Lydia, I am close to finishing up for her. I am stuck on Skinwalkers 21. Gotta find someone to do some damage because Gnishak’s bombs keep getting put back on me and killing me. After that just have Shadowkin and Sylvan Watchers to wrap up . Both are at about the same spot so who knows how many more weeks until I finish that. I hope to be really close in a few days as I recently leveled a couple Sylvan Watchers lately.
Enjoy this guy while you can before he gets nerfed. I just got him about three hours ago. Went from struggling with regular FK25 to crushing hard FK 10. This guy is absolutely amazing.
I’d like to see more content for mid game players, like Faction war for people who don’t have every legendary champ for each faction, and even the meta epics. Show us options for the champs F2P or low spenders might have.
Unfortunately no, his fusion ends in ~3 days and CvC isn't for a week. I'm waiting to fuse until tomorrow to get the training points on the last Khafru.
Bro the way you looked at the screen 18:28 you knew it was finna set someone off 😂😂😂 like let him show us why he is excited, for the love of god let him cook
14:05 for solo spider brimstone is useless since the spider will never take a turn and so will never active the smite. Better of taking cruelty to make it go a bit faster, or rend if it’s 6 star
Got him and used pretty much all my resources. Now I am going to slowly level him. He is going to make allllll the waves never take turns and it will rock.
As a FTP who just hit 9 months, I managed to save up enough resources to get him. I also pulled Brogni and Rae with shards during the event. I feel like this was an account changing event for my roster.
I knew he would be such a major fusion I pushed for getting him on my main account and even my alt account as well. Got him on both Sunday! I would put him equal with Gnut as probably the other best fusion ever, though Gnut is more obviously focused on boss damage and Armanz is on wave clear and PvP.
6:52 ironically he was a downgrade for my Dark Fae team because he just doesn’t do enough damage when built as a pure debuffer. Still clears Dark Fae, but about a minute longer on Hard 120 because waves and boss die slower.
He's kinda mad good. Like, his stun is just out of this world strong, he's mean as F in the arena, he doesn't hit the hardest, but that doesn't matter when he's locking everyone out. I need to farm IG because I need more defensive-esque Retaliation gear so I can swap it into his kit and run him 4x Perception/2x Retaliation...Because why not. LOL.
Holy cow Ash, I was just looking for a video to tell you this in, and here it is… I’m a mid-level player.. can’t beat main boss in Sintranos normal snd can’t get to far on hard, can’t get the top 20-30 levels of doom-tower hard, clan boss is easy, and I can’t make a chest in hydra brutal… never asked you for a thing other than to keep doing what you do in 12 years.. so here it comes.. COULD YOU PLEASE make a series of clips of champs to use to help me get through to end game.. like not particular champs, but more of the buffs, speeds, debuffs, stats, etc, etc. you know, focus more on the mechanics of things, rather than a particular build for a particular champ to get someone through particular content.. pretty please
I did the fusion thankfully, btw.. was an exciting 2 weeks.. pulled around 70 ancients, 40 voids, 6 sacred..came out with Duchess, Ukko, Uugo, Baron, Kreela, Drexthar, 2 progression legos, 3 or 4 epics I needed, and the fusion .. all on a raid-card and some red bull
I'd like to see some account takeovers. I'm end game (have lydia) but I'm crap at making teams for this or that and would love seeing it done *edit - my 2 key unm team was inspired by a takeover where someone used keeyra, and I thought "I wonder how well she will pair with pythions dmg mitigation." On easy, my cb team has hit the 1500 turn cap. Got duchess recently and she cannot replace keeya, even with her veil damage decrease Account takeovers inspire a lot of thought because they require massive amounts of critical thinking by the content creator (and I know you have it, Ash, so you can takeover my account first! ) You can call it takeover Tuesdays
I actually won him on day one of the birthday summon events, so I didn't need to try too hard for the fusion aspect, would be cool to get one of the fusion guys though :)
This was my first fusion ever, but I regret nothing. He's amazing! And since I'm missing this kind of a role in my squads, he's gonna help me big time
My first fusion too. Very gruelling😅
Also my first fusion. Never thought I'd actually complete one lol but this one actually felt easy. All the cards must have lined up perfectly for me or something.
Yep, same here, first fusion. I usually bypass fusions to do minotaur runs for scrolls. Arnanz was too good to pass up.
My 1st fusion aswell. I already maxed him (lvl 60), no books, no masteries and I just completed his Faction from FW. He is a monster against any wave. Absolutely insane support!
@@Cosmos.OdysseyA champ training is about to start. I'll max him tomorrow and get the rewards.
Only like 200 Dungeon Divers points away from my last fragments. I'm pumped! On a side note, some mid-game progression content would be great. Something like "how to beat common roadblocks for Faction Wars Stages/Waves by Faction" would be helpful.

2024 so far has been just pure insanity for my account;
- got Nergigante Archer from her champ training tournament
- completed Armanz fusion
- pulled Valkyrie + Michinaki during the POGO on Ancient shards
I've gone from being a total weaksauce account to now being able to start into Doom Tower, fully re-building my Clan Boss team, AND, Archer Queen unlocking Hydra content!!
can't wait for the more in-depth Armanz vid on the Champion channel! ;-)
Thanks for tuning in :)
"mostly FtP" is that another way of saying low spender, or ya know, not free to play at all?
I fused him Sunday and I’m FTP. He’s my first fusion. I’m so glad I saved up the energy to get him now it’s game over for all the content. Thanks for the videos Ash.
Congrats!
I did go for this fusion, because I concentrated on recovering all my resources as much as possible after the last one I did.

That’s insane you barley got arbiter after 3 years. When did you actually start on the missions? Lydia I get.. but jeez man that’s concerning

I’d been distracted by fusions, and was genuinely surprised by how quickly I finished off the last few missions. It wasn’t a bad thing, since it meant I’d held off fusing Rhazin until a few days after that mission came up so it was during the Champ Chase.
Congrats!
I went all in for this dude, I was away on the 1st weekend and cut it really close and just got the 4th khafru!
waiting for tomorrows champ training to level the last epic and summon him 😊
I'm doing the exact same
my strategy as well. I could have gotten him earlier, but that meant spending extra 3k energy for dungeon divers to get him in time for previous champion training.
Congrats!
This will be my first ever Completed Fusion as FTP. 😅 I'm not sure why people say they've played for years and never completed one. Just save your stuff for a few weeks and I was able to get one FINALLY. I'm looking forward to it. Thanks for the guide Ash! 🙏 My Account would be complete trash without your help. Lol
When you say a few weeks. What do you just log in do CB UNM, NM and brutal than just log off and redeem shards every week for a year or whatever until the next fusion?
@@thedoomslayer5863 I usually do whatever dailies I can do and sometimes go for the most rewards to whatever side events or tournaments that are going on. I never use my gems unless it's for stamina for an event. I can typically go from One Fusion to the next. Ultra Nightmare key, Nightmare Key, and 2 Brutal Keys daily. If you time it right, you'll always get those rewards which give you a high chance of getting sacred shards
Insane Champ. I put him in Stone Skin + Perception and he is wrecking Arena teams that I had trouble with before. Arguably the best Fusion champ to date.
Thanks for tuning in ;)
I got him today as FTP. Second fusion, after Gnut, I went for. I havent even maxed him yet and he already does good work in arena. Looking forward to your more in depth guide next week!
Congrats!
Endgame, F2P. I was pulling void shards and got the void epic needed, so I was able to fuse Armanz earlier. But wait, there's more: I also got my first Acrizia, Ursuga and the new high elf fraction-bonus lego. And here I was thinking where are my useful legos 😁
Well, back to Armanz. This champion is broken. Love him. It was clear from the beginning judging by his skill set he would be insane, but actually seeing him in action is mind blowing. Probably the best fusion EVER. Thanks for a showcase, Ash. Peace! 🙏
I was so happy to get Nergigante Archer for incredible control, and now I have Armanz as well, any content that allows Barbarians into the battle is finished! Such a powerful duo of "no you don't get a turn, but if you ever do, you'll be attacking Archer, increasing her defense"
14:00 wouldn't Brimstone be kinda pointless on him? Since they wouldn't be able to use an active skill from being perma stunned, so it'd never proc
Yea. But would still be useful for bosses with turn meter reduction immunity
I've been playing for a little over a year, and this is the first fusion/fragment summon champion I've gone for (very low spend account).
Completed the fusion. Glad I started saving resources and shards after the Christmas Tormin event. Can't wait to get him built.
Went for my first fusion. Got him before the hero path already enjoying the progression. I’m only 170 days in low spent. So chuffed to have been able to get him. Thanks to content creators like you ash. Showing the knowledge
Congrats!
I got him Sunday and pulled an Acrizia 6-star soul yesterday. Not sure which I am more excited about.
Congrats!
Where did you get your raid shadow legends cheats, asking for a friend lol
I have Arbiter, Armanz, Mithrala, and big bad Gharol for arena team. I was doing ok with Lady kimi, but now Armanz might be my ticket to Platinum Arena. Great video Ash! Always a pleasure.
Ash: He's the number 1 stunner!
Me: Sigh
Also me: Wha what w w what what.
I'm still squarely in the midgame, just about a year in, definitely no Lydia lol, I still haven't even gone for a single fusion and I love the Mythical videos. They're fun to watch do their thing, as are you lol. Keep 'em coming, as far as I'm concerned!
Thanks for watching ;)
Got super lucky and pulled one of the food champs in the champ chase so saved me a lot of grind, fused him a couple days ago. Wanted to do a gear cleanse and forge a bunch more perception gear before I build him, looking like I can get him close to 300 speed and 500 accuracy, not amazing but I’m f2p, so it is what it is, hopefully I’ll get lucky and hit a couple 3x speed rolls and not have to mule around much gear. Got a love hate for the guy, don’t know that he’s great for the game, but he’s the type you have to get if you want to be relevant in pvp. He will help out immensely in a lot of the over stuff though for everyone, so that’s pretty cool.
I pulled a food champ to made the fusion a breeze🎉
Congrats!
235 primals I'm smelling a big mythical opening!!! Good luck Ash!!
"taking a big hit on accuracy here"
*Proceeds to show his character that is twice as accurate as my most accurate Geo*
Edit: dang guys, chill in the replies. I'm just making a comparison and y'all acting like I'm hating
Endgame gear, man... I think part of it is that he ascends most of his gear...Midgame players usually don't focus on gear ascensions that much... Also, no one likes farming sand devil and phantom shogun
@abaddon6078 great Hall plays big part too.
700 accuracy is not super high for end game players, even free to play end game players. 350 accuracy would be weak for most end game content. i don't get why people make these complaining comments
@@jarrettrowlett4601 Standards are a lot lower for non-endgame players who don't have all that good gear saved up. From what you're saying, I'm guessing you're an endgame player yourself, and it's probably been years since you were at the point where you thought 350 acc was good.
the great hall, that live arena hall, and faction guardians make a massive unfair advantage between regular and end game/ whale players. the highest ACC I have is 505 on the rat king and im only lvl 7 of the great hall
8:31 Good ole perception gear. I went double perception, resistance & a slayer ring to start
10:13 with the 3* Soul for him, you will get extra 600 defence..... so it will go over 3k congrats^^
Hey Ash, I fused him the other day, had to buy some shards. Sounds like it was worth it! Keep up the awesome content!
I got him. He's made a massive impact on my account already. I haven't booked him yet as I haven't any but any dungeon I've put him in the waves haven't taken a turn.
Arena I'm winning against teams I struggled with before.
Love him.
Congrats!
I pulled 2x Khefru in about 30 void shards. It made the fusion super comfy!
Congrats!
You Crack me up man...the most comedy out of all the content creator's...freakin awesome...always make my day better when I watch your videos...keep it up brother
Thanks man! I appreciate it ;)
@@ASH-RAID yw
I'm in the process of building him through mino as I write this. I won't book him until CvC. However, I decided to go up against him in LA just to see what he could do. My team in that fight was Ankora, Narses, Pythion and Stoneskin UDK (Wukon got banned). I never got a turn. he is bonkers good, and I can't wait to have him in my teams, even though I know he's a no brainer to ban. I can at least have the team I want in there, and if they do let him through, I'll have complete control (assuming I'm faster). He is going to have some of my Arbiter's speed gear, and she will have my second best gear, he's that good.
I just pulled 2 armanzes from the current prism summonings. I'm super excited to finally have a good arena champ to go with my harima and to counter sun wukong. It's amazing watching him just doing what he does.
19:07 why did that Lydia attack out of her turn? Was that a mastery proc?
I love this guy! With him I can be competitive in arena finally. I just did a 430k punch up against four mythicals in arena. Team comp: Padraig, Georgid, Armanz and Sun wu kong.
Thanks for watching ;)
I cracked up when Ash said "and he turns someone into a sheep, which is great, if you're INTO sheep!"
Hooray for me🎉!!! First fusion ever completed. What a griiiind. Feel fully satisfied
This is my first non-permanent fusion I've been able to complete. He's mine and he is absolutely amazing! I have him relentless, perception and one accessory of slayer. He is OP! Trying to have as much fun with him as I can until they nerf him. 🎉 I'm in love with this champ!
From watching the Siegfrund video and requesting an Armanz video to now watching this! You always provide for the people!
Thanks for tuning in ;)
Thanks for the video dude, i just got the fusion today and haven't had chance to use rank/build him yet 👍 I used to be a low spender but i've been F2P for the last 2 years and managed to get Helicath/Gnishak/Gnut/tomb dreng/ukko and now Armanz
Congrats!
@@ASH-RAID thanks dude. congrats on your void pulls btw
I got him. Honestly, and I am shocked, for a unit that is great for all accounts like this, that the fusion wasn't on max difficulty. It felt like a usual fusion. Emic's fusion took everything out of me. But this fusion felt normal and I'm ready to recuperate and do the next fusion. With Emic, I couldn't and needed a break it was that arduous.
Congrats!
I ❤ him as well . Get him yesterday ... i play him jut on 5 Stars Level 1 and He Controlled all!! I will put some books on him to Max him out at the next Events! Pure ❤ to this Pirate
Congrats!
First and only fusion I ever finished. I hope he was worth it all.
Congrats!
Your poll is great, man. Love the idea. I have Lydia, but I still really enjoy hearing great Faction War content. Maybe something in there to speed up my runs *and* help with Cursed Ciry
How did you beat undead horde stage 21? I can beat it but not with all champions alive
Thanks man! Glad you like it ;)
He can easily solo the spider and any boss that can have their turn meter stolen at lvl 1 5* if you have speed and accuracy.
Getting him booked is a must on that A2
And it's not just bosses, he can solo any content that doesn't have immunity to turn meter steal or stuns, or that contains force champions. Again, still at lvl 1 5*.
At the moment i can think of Tormin the Cold and Doompriest, and any champion with similar abilities as great "counters" to Armanz.
Yeah, Tormin comeback special, with breaking a bit of the game, some old faces may come back... In stoneskin sigh
Thanks for tuning in ;)
I also went crazy for this guy as my first fusion. Had to end up buying energy for the last dungeon divers which i wasnt happy about but im stoked to get him
Congrats!
I love it when you're excited! I have to check my playback speed because it seems like you're going at 1.5x speed 😅
😆
Exciting week this week as a FTP player. Got Armanz, Mithrala and Seer all in one week. This guy with Blizaar seems to get me through waves everywhere without taking a hit.
He looks too good to miss out on. But my first thought when I got him: "Is that... an ink job of Arbiter on his chest?" 😄
😆
all i know, they better not nerf this guy any time soon. amazing video, cant wait to build him. amazing video!
Congrats!
hey ash, i know its been a bit since i reccomended you "the good doctor", just wanted to ask if you managed to take a look at it. Also, can you do a guide on tagoar? i see that you have one thats 10 months old but i dont know if thats already too long ago (like if the guide is still accurate or not)
Got this dude over the weekend and DAMN this dude is incredible. It is almost unfair if paired with the right team in arena but I need him to progress. And what’s ironic is I just accomplished getting Deathsiren and used her in the campion chase event to help put me over to getting Armanz. And for the record, Numba 1 Stunna was a Cash Money thing (lil Wayne, Juvenile, Big Timaz, BG etc.) not Nelly. No biggie though.
How did you beat undead horde stage 21? I can beat it but not with all the champions alive
@@jamesgish9202 it was not easy and I needed the right champs: Gorgorab, Vogoth, UDK, Bad El Kazar and Valkanen
Congrats!
Live Arena will change, now. Mine is still at 1, unbooked (waiting for cvc), but equipped. with support his kit is so broken that he's been a bright star in all PVE and much standard Arena ( Gold V). Crazy, crazy champ.
Got Armanz and I love him! Building him now. Thanks for info. For me he's a favorite already.
Congrats!
Got him as well in spite of travelling this weekend (Disneyland Paris😍). I did not have time to build him and try him out though😅
Congrats!
Hey Ash! Catch idea for video - Champions that are bulid not according to it's tag. Most know example is Seer, as she is tagged support, but everyone bulid her as turbo nuke. Or Alure, despite attack tag she is most often mentioned as A1 support lockout champion, not damage.
I wonder is there are other nice uses of building incorrect tag :D
Thanks for the suggestion ;)
to be honest at first i didn't really feel like going for him and especially because he's barbarian and I'm on the faction war grind right now and have finished barbarians, but then i just went screw it, I'm going for him, took me everything but i got him. i might not upgrade him right away but i have him and I'm sure will become really important for me later on.
Congrats!
I got super lucky and pulled one of the epics from a void shard, so was able to get him early into the fusion, but I havent built him yet 😬 not sure how impactful he will be. But we will see after I finish watching your video.
Just finished fusion and pulled a Dupe during event. Considering whether to empower or build 2. Thoughts?
build 2, pve and pvp and faction guardians
I think its a good wave control option for all out there who couldnt get the hands on Archer like me.
On the other hand: this guy with Archer in the same team... Who should get a single turn? Because they are different affinity too, so an answer to every team.
Thanks for tuning in ;)
Only just started playing the game 35 days ago and managed to complete the fusion 😅 he's super valuable to my account so was worth it.
Congrats!
Congrats on the fusion. I got 2 of the fusion champs but wont have the resources to finish
Thanks man ;)
Got my Armanz today also! This was my 1st fusion so far and not quite as hard as I thought it would be….. now to scrounge up rss to build him! I have books but otherwise rss broke!
Congrats!
I used all my shards during Shard Summon Event. I got Brakus and Padraig, I may not have Armanz. But really Legos yau
Congrats!
I completed the fusion Sunday morning. I have him Level 50 fully ascended. It's hard to rank up champions on my main account but I'll let you know what i think after I get him built.
Love your content Ash
Congrats!
I went for him...glad I did....he's a lot of fun to use, especially at a 5*. Can't wait to get him to 6*.
Congrats!
Yoooooo! Thanks for the overview.
I know this isn't the channel for this but I'd kill for a guide ok firrol!
I added Firrol to my guide list ;)
Yes got him Sunday. Have only been levelling him up in campaign with him so far so no great impression of what he's like.
Congrats!
Heard ash say something bout a code. any info on that and what its for? or has he not released it yet
Got my Armanz and pulled Ankora completing the fusion. I skipped Ankora. Couldn't have got both without it. I see why they did the fusion right on the back of the new power couple. Anyone that went for Ankora is out of gas, or has to fill the tank with cash. Tricky SoBs 😆
I'm trying for 9pc Supersonic for him. Right now, he's Perception/Revenge
I'm one of the 8k who went for him and I actually got him! I'm stoked to build him out and get him to use in PvE mostly (I really don't care that much about PvP in any game...)!
I do love that you still recommend Harvest Despair on champions who put out the stuns. I use my Scyl in a stun set with Harvest Despair and it's nuts how many leeches she puts out there for me wherever I use her! Very helpful and underrated mastery!!
I don't think Brimstone is as useful with this champion in either PvP OR PvE since he keeps stealing all the turn meters of all enemies, which won't allow them to take a turn and thus not allow the Smite to happen....
Congrats!
I got him on both of my F2P-accts... I didn't summon him yet though. (and yes, I do have Lydia the Deathsiren too, she was one of my pre-playing Raid goals, to see if I could get her as a F2P-user...) are those THE +4 rolled gloves shown again?! =)
Congrats!
I'll be on holidays for like 2 weeks and barely able to play, but I'm looking forward to building him and a few other champs I've gotten, like Mikage and Archer.
Half expecting him to get his first nerf by the time I get around to do it 😂
Congrats!
I need 25 more fragments to get the last epic for the fusion. Just need to spend some of my clover coin things. Wasn’t sure if I would be able to get enough of the coins to get the champion off there but it seems more likely that I won’t, so I am gonna skip the last bit of dungeon divers and get the fragments with my clover coins.
As for Lydia, I am close to finishing up for her. I am stuck on Skinwalkers 21. Gotta find someone to do some damage because Gnishak’s bombs keep getting put back on me and killing me. After that just have Shadowkin and Sylvan Watchers to wrap up . Both are at about the same spot so who knows how many more weeks until I finish that. I hope to be really close in a few days as I recently leveled a couple Sylvan Watchers lately.
What other skinwalkers do you have? You might be able to replace gnishak.
Enjoy this guy while you can before he gets nerfed.
I just got him about three hours ago. Went from struggling with regular FK25 to crushing hard FK 10.
This guy is absolutely amazing.
lol TM steal does nothing for hard FK. Gotta be freezes.
how would he help on FK hard? i call BS
Trash. I use the free Alexander for A1 freeze.
How does smite help if you can prevent spider from taking a turn?
Got him this morning! I chose reflex and retaliation. Haven’t had time to use him yet
Congrats!
Ash, can you focus a while on Doom Tower? Like the higher boss levels in hard, for example Dark Fae hard 90F?
Thanks for the suggestion ;)
I’d like to see more content for mid game players, like Faction war for people who don’t have every legendary champ for each faction, and even the meta epics. Show us options for the champs F2P or low spenders might have.
Finished Armanz Monday Night! Waiting to book him and level him for the champ training tournament starting Tuesday!
Congrats!
I've finished the fusion, but I was wondering if I can keep him to fuse during cvc
Unfortunately no, his fusion ends in ~3 days and CvC isn't for a week. I'm waiting to fuse until tomorrow to get the training points on the last Khafru.
@senturon ty for the heads up, my friend. At least I got a straight answer from someone who didn't beat around the bush, so again, tyvm
The memes alone are good. A sea farmer that turns things into land animals lolz to the 100th.
Between Armanz & Archer Queen waves no longer stand a chance.
So much of the high level bosses difficulty is because of the waves.
GAME CHANGER!
Thanks for watching ;)
Bro the way you looked at the screen 18:28 you knew it was finna set someone off 😂😂😂 like let him show us why he is excited, for the love of god let him cook
😆
14:05 for solo spider brimstone is useless since the spider will never take a turn and so will never active the smite. Better of taking cruelty to make it go a bit faster, or rend if it’s 6 star
Got him and used pretty much all my resources. Now I am going to slowly level him. He is going to make allllll the waves never take turns and it will rock.
Congrats!
As a FTP who just hit 9 months, I managed to save up enough resources to get him. I also pulled Brogni and Rae with shards during the event. I feel like this was an account changing event for my roster.
Congrats!
@@ASH-RAID thanks!
I knew he would be such a major fusion I pushed for getting him on my main account and even my alt account as well. Got him on both Sunday! I would put him equal with Gnut as probably the other best fusion ever, though Gnut is more obviously focused on boss damage and Armanz is on wave clear and PvP.
Congrats!
6:52 ironically he was a downgrade for my Dark Fae team because he just doesn’t do enough damage when built as a pure debuffer. Still clears Dark Fae, but about a minute longer on Hard 120 because waves and boss die slower.
He's kinda mad good. Like, his stun is just out of this world strong, he's mean as F in the arena, he doesn't hit the hardest, but that doesn't matter when he's locking everyone out.
I need to farm IG because I need more defensive-esque Retaliation gear so I can swap it into his kit and run him 4x Perception/2x Retaliation...Because why not. LOL.
Holy cow Ash, I was just looking for a video to tell you this in, and here it is…
I’m a mid-level player.. can’t beat main boss in Sintranos normal snd can’t get to far on hard, can’t get the top 20-30 levels of doom-tower hard, clan boss is easy, and I can’t make a chest in hydra brutal… never asked you for a thing other than to keep doing what you do in 12 years.. so here it comes..
COULD YOU PLEASE make a series of clips of champs to use to help me get through to end game.. like not particular champs, but more of the buffs, speeds, debuffs, stats, etc, etc. you know, focus more on the mechanics of things, rather than a particular build for a particular champ to get someone through particular content.. pretty please
I did the fusion thankfully, btw.. was an exciting 2 weeks.. pulled around 70 ancients, 40 voids, 6 sacred..came out with Duchess, Ukko, Uugo, Baron, Kreela, Drexthar, 2 progression legos, 3 or 4 epics I needed, and the fusion .. all on a raid-card and some red bull
3:43 I think you mean Big Tymers 😂
I'd like to see some account takeovers. I'm end game (have lydia) but I'm crap at making teams for this or that and would love seeing it done
*edit - my 2 key unm team was inspired by a takeover where someone used keeyra, and I thought "I wonder how well she will pair with pythions dmg mitigation." On easy, my cb team has hit the 1500 turn cap. Got duchess recently and she cannot replace keeya, even with her veil damage decrease
Account takeovers inspire a lot of thought because they require massive amounts of critical thinking by the content creator (and I know you have it, Ash, so you can takeover my account first! )
You can call it takeover Tuesdays
I actually won him on day one of the birthday summon events, so I didn't need to try too hard for the fusion aspect, would be cool to get one of the fusion guys though :)
Congrats!
I got him and he's triviliasing content, it's unreal! Unless the enemy is immune to turnmeter effects, they're lucky if they get a turn.
Congrats!
I've been waiting for your build video as I legal him up!!!! Do it Ash.
Thanks for tuning in ;)
I wasn't going for him but decided at the last moment to try and managed to get him. Felt like an easier fusion calendar.
Congrats!
NELLY WAS NOT THE #1 STUNNA! Respectfully Ash, that was Big Tymers, specifically Bird Man
Thank you. 🙏
Just the comment I was looking for main ahahahahahah
😆
Yeah, when he said that, I facepalmed 🤣🤣🤣🤣
