@13:00 FRONZEN BANSHEE is upset you didn't mention her here. @13:48 also Rowan has an attack that attacks 4 times placing 5% poison each hit. Single target of course.
FB is trickier to use than Kael. It's not AoE, so it's only really applicable to bosses. And you need to set up her A3. I found without getting lots of extra attacks (speed, counter-attack, ally attack) she doesn't perform very well at all, even in clan boss.
@calandale if I was starting a new account today I definitely would not start with kael! I would start with Elhan! She is 10x better than kael at rare secret rooms! Kael drops off pretty quickly mid game! And if you don't pull a frozen banshee early on, you can always use outlaw monk (uncommon) until you get a decent poison champion!
@@Lilliana1 I in no way said he was better than anyone else. Just pointing them out. And Rowan is not trash at all if you don't have a better poisoner. He is a big part to play in an UN CB tune team on DWJ's site.
Another good quality about Soulbond Bowyer is the fact that she only needs 75 percent critical rate, as all of her skills have a extra 25 percent chance to crit. She hits pretty good for a rare.
Well yes she has an extra 25% but all champions already have 15% so that's 40% instant crit rate meaning all you need is 60% for 100% crit rate but that just makes her even better
A tip for those in the early game in the chase for Yannica, who can do at least the first boss or two in doom tower . In the elite section of clan quests there are usually a couple that you might not think you can do but are relatively easy. One is crafting legendary artifacts from materials in the doom tower, as these can be 3 or 4 star pieces to complete the quest. The second is crafting a specific gear slot such as craft 5 legendary gloves with ATK percentage. At 350 coins per quest they'll help you get the fragments quicker and getting the materials is pretty easy.
Fantastic and well thought out video, Ash! Obviously there are many more poisoners in the game, but my replacement for Kael was supercharged in Venomage - the key debuffs and damage mitigation passive was a huge boon everywhere, including PvP where the 3 turn heal reduction allowed me to finally topple the always prevalent Ultimate Deathknight teams. Athel was my primary nuker, and was strong for me until I finally reworked my Genbo with your help! One overlooked aspect with Genbo that seems to be overlooked as a nuker is his sneaky way of stealing buffs that would otherwise save his target (Block Damage, Unkillable, Revive on Death, Strengthen).
Ash, I would like to point out one caveat to Saurus as a campaign farmer for new accounts/players. He needs to have good gear to hit the desired numbers. I saw your videos as a new player and leveled up a Saurus very early on as my 3rd or 4th champ to 60. It was an immediate regret as I did not have the gear necessary to clear 12-3 Brutal. I have since pulled and used a Felhound but the Saurus attempt was a regret for my account because I chased that farmer too early and he ended up being a 60 that I never used other than faction wars. (now in a stun set)
@@KozyKoti Was wondering why I didn't see him doing anything as I started to build him up. This is vital info for us new players, which CCs forget to mention. Thanks, good sir.
@@KozyKoti What crit damage and attack should be a minimum to work? Having the right gear to afford crit damage on gloves, or the right substats is not available to early players.
Good call on telling people to focus support. Honestly an AOE rare with Stun would be an excellent early build. Keeping waves under control is key. Kael can nuke hard enough to get you all the way through the mid game if built right.
Ash, talking about razhin, and Myciliac preist orn, Meanwhile *FROZEN BANSHEE: AM I A JOKE TO YOU?!?!?! PUT ME IN YOUR CLAN BOSS TEAM NOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!! lmao XD also **18:38**, so Elhain, what have we got XD* 💀💀💀
Honestly I'm just happy you brought up tarshon and arndulf these two are champions I have always used and Honestly tarshon is a personal favorite and was my most used champion in my video. It's just like instant vindication and puts a spotlight on 2 champions almost no one talks about. I put so much here sorry to anyone who reads this and feels like it's nothing
First of all: shoutout to both you and your editor! Great work, as always!! Thank you for all the time and effort both of you put in this for us! Just a question: could you do eventually a guide on Faction Wars? Like how to 3 star those? As I'm (and I'm sure I'm not the only one) quite struggling on some factions to get past 40 stars so far.
Would you say Errol is a good swap for Galek? I'm practically at the end of early game, although I haven't got Arbiter or Scyl yet, but I've hit Stage 20+ on all dungeons now EXCEPT Fire Knight, but with Coldheart recently acquired I'm thinking it might be doable.
@@FPSpsychoYT Dito man. I'm so addicted, one fact that its low spender friendly & you can play years and maks progress or pull some gamechangers and everything tunes up. Ofc plarium wants all your money but still Awesome & there is so much content still to come👌🏻
Awesome video idea! I just spent a ridiculous amount of whale money on like 60 void shards, didn't get a legendary but I got about 6 Coldheart's, Fellhound, and Paragon at least.
You are so right about Genbo! He changed my live arena team as only my second void nuker. Makes my choices simpler. Genbo, Skullcrown and Arbitor are every bout with Pythion or Duchess as the back-up reviver and Artak in bolster or Zavia based on what the opponent shows.
Hey Ash! First time commenting but I appreciate your videos a lot. I've gotten so much useful information to cut my learning curve down in this game. The encouragement you provide is a personal touch that bring me first to your channel for anything I'm looking to learn about Raid. Would love to see you put out some content on "Budget" versions of teams that can take on higher-level content. I'm a F2Per on day 178 now, so I'm just starting to develop a stable of champions to tackle areas like Iron Twins, Sand Devil, and Phantom Shogun. Strategy guides for those areas, along with some champion recommendations focused on the needs and limited resources of a player just beginning to develop teams for those places, would be a must-see for me. Also wanted to say, I'm shocked you didn't mention Venomage as a poisoner/debuffer alternate for Kael OR Galek, especially since you preach about finding utility in a champion's kit. She was one of the first epics I pulled and she is a Toxic Fortress for me. An AOE double big poison A3, a single target Def and Atk break both big versions on her A2, and instant activation on her A1. And that accuracy Aura! She is the all-star and Leader of my Demon Lord team, and I would not have been able to beat the final Frost Spider for the first time without her.because Artak wasn't going to land his HP burn without that little bit of extra Accuracy. She wrecks DL, Spider, Dragon, Doom Tower, Ice Golem, and especially Fire Knight. She's even strong against Sand Devil with all the debuffs she brings. I even use her in arena against some of those pesky mega-healers because of her AOE heal break.. She's dangerous to face when built well. Where's the LOVE, Ash?!?! And before I go, Keep on doing what you're doing. It's helping.
This is a cool video. My campaign farmer was shaman, Deliana, UDK, & Ronda. Kael. Athel, Elhain, & Galek didn't see much action. UDK usually travels with commons & uncommon to use for food. Frozen Banshee gets the most love. 10 uncommon are getting some love too thanks to market/mystery shards. Have fun.
As an almost 1 year f2p biggest thing im looking for is a good wave clear team that doesnt take 1 minute per wave at the higher end dungeons. Along with a tank that heals or has buffs the best iv gotten is UDK. Also lacking a good debuffer that isnt spread across 2-3 champs. Seems like im running the same team for everything and its gotten boring. Takes too damn long to get legends that arent mediocre.
Great stuff Ash. Wish I could go back in time to when I first started plating 2 years ago, because I ranked up a lot of really bad champions. Would like to shout out Ronda as an upgrade to arena nukers, campaign, and FK. It was a sad day for me when I consigned Athel to the bench squad. Thx again and take care.
Surprised Bellower was not mentioned until the end. He's so versatile and also 'just' a Rare. With your video beginning with CFs & AoE Nukers, he should be the Headline Act? Especially as ALL his attacks are AoE! He's my Campaign Farmer on both Accounts still, at Levels 94 & 75 (I know I was lucky to pull multiple Bellowers very early on, Week-1 on each Account). So, to summarise: Rare > Void > AoE Nuker > Control Champion > Campaign Farmer. He's the "whole package" to paraphrase those awful 'Talent' Shows.
@@jathejt I've got Stun & Speed on my Control/Waves Bellower. I've got Savage & Crit. Dmg. on my Campaign Farmer. What's most important is your CF needs Speed 183 or higher & 100% Crit rate. At that lvl he'll smash 12-3 on brutal consistently in approx 11-secs. Getting those matters more than which sets you use to do it, especially early/mid-game, until you've got better gear.
Ash I would love a guide on champs that can outnuke starters. I have a duchess, i have vogoth, and i have madame serris but im still leaning on my kael. i would love to see a vid like that
A REALLY underrated is Dark Elhain. Free for EVERYONE over time. She gives herself the Attack up with her nuke but if she gets frozen then gets even more value. Also her AoE having a Decrease Speed helps a ton in FW/DT early stages. I still use her against Tormund Teams and just 2 shot.
I'm a 18 months into the game with only 5 stars left to completing faction wars but need to 3-star Undead Horde. I just 6 starred Dark Elhain today and she could campaign farm 12-3 from level 23 on as long as I didn't auto and from 37 on I could leave it on auto. At around 20-25 seconds she isn't going to replace Skullcrown at 10 seconds, but I slept on her too long. Just have to figure out with Husk, UDK, and Seeker as my achors, whether to use her to replace Seducer or Volgoth.
Thanks for these recommendations. Super early game only 2 60s (Kael & Alsgor) don't wanna waste my resources. My 50s are High Khatun Swk Warmaiden Fanatic and Kunoichi. Doing good in CB and Hydra with Alsgor block damage and don't know what I need...
Ash, this is not a scam. I have a referral account at level 50. It has level 60 Ninja, Septimus, Scyl, Miscreated Monster, Level 50, Royal Guard, Seeker, Vogath. just too name a few. It's just sitting there I haven't used it other than to collect rewards. I would love for you to give it to someone in a drawing or some way that benifits a charity of yours. I know a lot of people missed out on Ninja this would be a perfect chance for someone. Please let me know if you are interested and a way to send the account for you too look at. Thank you for all the videos. You have mentioned me in a few videos as Crawgtors Goodies.
You keep showing the better champions, which is very informative, BUT I see very little on kitting out these champions and why or how to calculate best for these rates and/or epics.
Ash has you covered for champion builds over on his www.youtube.com/@raids-champ-guides channel! Definitely agree that knowing the right champions is only half the battle.
I loved starting the game with Galek, his Aoe damage in lifesteal just kept him going on the harder early game stuff, i replaced him with Zargala, later down the line got Dhuk but i orefer Zargala, her A2 hits very hard si she is getting extra triple aoe hits all the time. She sped up my dragon 20 because she would just mop up on the waves.
Hi hi Ash new player here , very lucky to het Genbo & Magnar but not built them yet being new, what gear would you recommend for both being early game player ?
I feel like Dune Strider gets slept on. Her kit feels like a starter champion almost, and she can lay down some serious damage. Definitely an under rated rare.
Poor Tallia, I seldom hear anyone talking about her Arena Nuke potential but shes a beast and definately under-rated in my opinion. Great video though as always!
Ash, one thing you didn't mention about Alika here or in the dedicated guide on your other channel is that she requires 20 books!!! I recently pulled her but I'm hesitant to invest due to the library of congress needed to book her out.
I've been looking for a replacement for Kael since I started playing and just pulled Orn a few days ago, but I have Frozen Banshee too and you didn't mention her--is Orn still better?
Hey Ash! You noted Genbo as not being "free", is there like a certain "hidden list" of champs only known to devs that are only available or unlocked when purchasing shards or something? Would a FTP account still have the same chance to pull Genbo or other champs if not a single cent has been spent in this game? I've thought this may be the case many times while saving shards for an event, like "x" grouping of champs will be available to those who spend "x" amount in the game - meanwhile it's not openly discussed by Plarium lol. Like by now I should have Septimus LOL; 4 yrs FTP and still only have the shitty Leggos from shard pulls.
I wanted to say thank you, I've played raid for 3 years and I have subscribed to this channel for a long time but I got the Royal FU from Raid when I put in a complaint so I'm leaving the game and the community. Wish you the best of luck for the future.
Ash. I love your videos. I guess I'm midgame and am hoarding my Rares , I need help. What Rares should I consider of keeping. Also I am luvin your shirt!
Should I replace Kael to Hephraak everywhere? (even in Dragon?) I think I will keep Kael for campaign farming since I don`t want lifesteal gear in Hephraak
Fleshmonger > Athel. I know you brought the little piggie up, but it cannot be said enough, all his skills are an upgrade to hers. Athel is my starting champion on my main account and I recently got my hands on not 1 but 2 fleshmongers (don't ask, unlucky void shard pulls), but yeah his kit rocks.
I got absurdly lucky and pulled trunda and kyoku , kyoku I already worked into my team but could trunda replace kael as my pve/pvp nuker instead of kael ? I already have frozen banshee replacing him in clan boss so I’m not worried there.
18:25 I believe Athel is better than Kael as a starter now. There are a number of reasons for this I will list below. 1) She can 3 star brutal as a 50. This allows you to get both hard and brutal sacreds in that opening 24 hour window where everyone is guaranteed 2x sacreds. 2) Kael is considered great for poisons. But there are a lot of poisoners who can do a similar or better job, and you can get access to generally early on (worst case scenario is Yaga at 2 months, and if you don't have Kael he works comparably). Until you get a better one, Outlaw Monk can do poisons. 3) Unlike poison getting a decent weakener is very hard. And this can bring substantially more help to your dungeon teams and Demon Lord than many alternatives. 4) She has self-buffing which is great overall, but especially means she brings more dmg in Arena. 5) The extra turn mechanic on the self-buff means she can also cycle the AOE faster (essentially getting a 2 turn cooldown on the first deployment if you set it up to do the AoE, then the A3. 6) She has the highest base defense.
I feel like I have okay champions but my artifacts are lacking I have been playing this game now for 65 days and i don't know if im being impatient or what but i have been trying my best to push past normal stage 10 dungeons and I just can't
We need more permanent fusions lol it would be nice for new players, especially if they missed out on awesome freebies like UDK or artak etc and have to make do with Sharman lol
I fully booked occult brawler a long while back, but I never actually used him...I felt like I just never found a spot for him. If his poisons didn't require accuracy I'd probably use him.... otherwise I just use gnishak, dark kael, or teodor
I almost fed the Occult Brawler 😂. Glad I didn't. I will have to lvl him. My main champions I use (alongside Kael) are Magnarr, Morag, Akemtum, Adelyn, and Reliquary tender. I just got Kael and Adelyn to 6 stars. The rest plus Apothecary are 5 star. I want to get the rest that I use for tag team and epic only stuff to 5 star. I have Athel and Elhain lvl 40, but I haven't really used them outside of tag team. I have Conellia, Zargala, Alika and Hoskarul that I really want to make 5*. I have a bunch of epics that I have pulled that I haven't even really looked at yet. There's so many champions that it's a bit overwhelming and I'm really not sure what I should be doing or who I should be working on. Lol. But I am having fun, at least. Even if I don't feel like I'm progressing as fast as I could be.
3800 items to complete the entire event, meanwhile gear storage stays the same... I sit at 1280 items constantly, the only gear i can delete is 6* epic or higher with no flat stats on main or sub, most of it is rolled to 8-12 and i clear anything that doesnt roll how i want it to. 1300 is just stupid, im guna have to start just storing gear on vaulted champs and using silver to remove it when i need to use it...
@@ASH-RAID Random thought here. I'm going to free to play from being a 200 a month spender. It's a big shift in how I approach the game. I think it would be a good video to see how one would approach shifting from spender to free to play. Keep on doing what you do!
My question for campaign farmer I have bellower maxed (gear needs to be helped) I have fellhound (only level 30 cuz I don’t want to invest yet since I have bellower) Should I be trying for yankia still? Or shoul I just get my gear correct on bellower?
I made the mistake of choosing Galek as my starting champion. I got him to 50, then pulled Fellhound with my second ancient shard. Galek is still sitting at 50.

Kinda a new to the game and use Keal for poison in CB, but just pulled Orn and Urogrim should I replace one of them as my Poisoner.
Insane Frozen Banshee snub ngl, she puts out identical poisons to Occult Brawler lol
Totally Agree on Scarhide!!! Great character that needs a little buffing!
Thanks for watching ;)
Ash, this is not a scam. I have a referral account at level 50. It has level 60 Ninja, Septimus, Scyl, Miscreated Monster, Level 50, Royal Guard, Seeker, Vogath. just too name a few. It's just sitting there I haven't used it other than to collect rewards. I would love for you to give it to someone in a drawing or some way that benifits a charity of yours. I know a lot of people missed out on Ninja this would be a perfect chance for someone. Please let me know if you are interested and a way to send the account for you too look at. Thank you for all the videos. You have mentioned me in a few videos as Crawgtors Goodies.
Give it to me boss, if you allow.
I think galek is good if you want to start farming fire knight earlier and get savage gear earlier
You keep showing the better champions, which is very informative, BUT I see very little on kitting out these champions and why or how to calculate best for these rates and/or epics.
Ash has you covered for champion builds over on his www.youtube.com/@raids-champ-guides channel! Definitely agree that knowing the right champions is only half the battle.
I loved starting the game with Galek, his Aoe damage in lifesteal just kept him going on the harder early game stuff, i replaced him with Zargala, later down the line got Dhuk but i orefer Zargala, her A2 hits very hard si she is getting extra triple aoe hits all the time. She sped up my dragon 20 because she would just mop up on the waves.
I know it’s opinionated, but I’m also surprised venomage wasn’t mentioned
thank you Ash! You are nailing the content lately, thank you for all the value adding videos like this one! May the Harrier always be with you ;)
Haha... thanks man, glad you like it ;)
Hi hi Ash new player here , very lucky to het Genbo & Magnar but not built them yet being new, what gear would you recommend for both being early game player ?
Great video man! Also, that is a dope shirt!
Thanks man! Means a lot ;)
Kael is better than frozen banshee at poisoning? Weeelll.
I feel like Dune Strider gets slept on. Her kit feels like a starter champion almost, and she can lay down some serious damage. Definitely an under rated rare.
Thanks for watching ;)
Poor Tallia, I seldom hear anyone talking about her Arena Nuke potential but shes a beast and definately under-rated in my opinion. Great video though as always!
Tallia is under-rated because she is underpowered, I have her level 50/5 star ascended and it's a thumbs down for me, she needs a massive buff.
Thanks for tuning in ;)
Ash, one thing you didn't mention about Alika here or in the dedicated guide on your other channel is that she requires 20 books!!! I recently pulled her but I'm hesitant to invest due to the library of congress needed to book her out.
I've been looking for a replacement for Kael since I started playing and just pulled Orn a few days ago, but I have Frozen Banshee too and you didn't mention her--is Orn still better?
Misty Dave is a perfect Elhain replacement
Hey Ash! You noted Genbo as not being "free", is there like a certain "hidden list" of champs only known to devs that are only available or unlocked when purchasing shards or something? Would a FTP account still have the same chance to pull Genbo or other champs if not a single cent has been spent in this game? I've thought this may be the case many times while saving shards for an event, like "x" grouping of champs will be available to those who spend "x" amount in the game - meanwhile it's not openly discussed by Plarium lol. Like by now I should have Septimus LOL; 4 yrs FTP and still only have the shitty Leggos from shard pulls.
I need help should I 6star kael or ninja first?
you forgot about zargala , weaken and decrease defence in her kit!
And she is a great nuker!
I wanted to say thank you, I've played raid for 3 years and I have subscribed to this channel for a long time but I got the Royal FU from Raid when I put in a complaint so I'm leaving the game and the community. Wish you the best of luck for the future.
Thanks Kyle! Appreciate you tuning in ;)
Ash. I love your videos. I guess I'm midgame and am hoarding my Rares , I need help. What Rares should I consider of keeping. Also I am luvin your shirt!
I started with Athel, first ancient shard I pulled Elanril. Athel never made it past 50 after that lol. Elanirl is beast.
I always recommend Magnar. He’s better than most legos for damage and so survivable! Probably need to mention Dark Elhain here too.
Thanks for tuning in :)
Should I replace Kael to Hephraak everywhere? (even in Dragon?)
I think I will keep Kael for campaign farming since I don`t want lifesteal gear in Hephraak
Great info as always Ash!!
i am fairly new player and i got 8 epic books so should i use all on deacon
21:39 i have her teamed up with Sniper and Deacon Armstrong all at 5 stars
Anyone else remember Venomage? Yeah, Ash neither LMAO!! Great video as always good sir
Lol! Thanks for tuning in ;)
great video! I've been looking to replace my Kael and I happen to have Orn so we'll see ☺
Thanks for watching an good luck ;)
Great video! The shirt is most dope 👌🏾
What about the Void Version of the Starters? are they good replacements? Also should you max them?
All void champ suck
Fleshmonger > Athel. I know you brought the little piggie up, but it cannot be said enough, all his skills are an upgrade to hers. Athel is my starting champion on my main account and I recently got my hands on not 1 but 2 fleshmongers (don't ask, unlucky void shard pulls), but yeah his kit rocks.
A good rare poisoner shout out. I ran frozen banshee in my clan boss team for the longest time before i replaced her with michinaki
Thanks for watching ;)
I got absurdly lucky and pulled trunda and kyoku , kyoku I already worked into my team but could trunda replace kael as my pve/pvp nuker instead of kael ? I already have frozen banshee replacing him in clan boss so I’m not worried there.
Trunda can replace Kael anytime
Congrats on Trunda!
Fayne could be another replacement for Athel too, although she is probably more squishy than Athel.
18:25 I believe Athel is better than Kael as a starter now. There are a number of reasons for this I will list below.
1) She can 3 star brutal as a 50. This allows you to get both hard and brutal sacreds in that opening 24 hour window where everyone is guaranteed 2x sacreds.
2) Kael is considered great for poisons. But there are a lot of poisoners who can do a similar or better job, and you can get access to generally early on (worst case scenario is Yaga at 2 months, and if you don't have Kael he works comparably). Until you get a better one, Outlaw Monk can do poisons.
3) Unlike poison getting a decent weakener is very hard. And this can bring substantially more help to your dungeon teams and Demon Lord than many alternatives.
4) She has self-buffing which is great overall, but especially means she brings more dmg in Arena.
5) The extra turn mechanic on the self-buff means she can also cycle the AOE faster (essentially getting a 2 turn cooldown on the first deployment if you set it up to do the AoE, then the A3.
6) She has the highest base defense.
Nice. Concept!!! Dude, and I’m like right at this point! 😊😊😊
Thanks for watching ;)
I'm at the point in the game where I can specialize champions so this is a great video for me.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching ;)
I feel like I have okay champions but my artifacts are lacking I have been playing this game now for 65 days and i don't know if im being impatient or what but i have been trying my best to push past normal stage 10 dungeons and I just can't
We need more permanent fusions lol it would be nice for new players, especially if they missed out on awesome freebies like UDK or artak etc and have to make do with Sharman lol
Fk UDK we need less UDK in the world not more 😂
Thanks for watching ;)
WOW!!! How could you leave out my favorite rare poisoner.... Frozen Banshee!!!
I think you forget Teodor as a poisoner and great one too :)
hey ash love the videos could you possibly make a video on hidden gems for clan boss as im pushing into nightmare
Thanks for the suggestion ;)
For the past 4 years i have played on raid i pnly have 5 legendaries and i need to know how to customize hegemon and ronda
Ash no code for the last episode of call of the Arbiter?
I would never max a starter champ
Does Alika need to be fully booked?
I fully booked occult brawler a long while back, but I never actually used him...I felt like I just never found a spot for him. If his poisons didn't require accuracy I'd probably use him.... otherwise I just use gnishak, dark kael, or teodor
Thanks for tuning in ;)
Ok, I think I missed the gear that you have on saurus
Hey ash I think you should try justiciar on a clan boss team as I think he is a good champion for clan boss
Elhain: any double aoe champ, Galek: literally any nuker, Athel: triple hit A1, Kael: poisoner
Thanks for watching ;)
I almost fed the Occult Brawler 😂. Glad I didn't. I will have to lvl him. My main champions I use (alongside Kael) are Magnarr, Morag, Akemtum, Adelyn, and Reliquary tender. I just got Kael and Adelyn to 6 stars. The rest plus Apothecary are 5 star. I want to get the rest that I use for tag team and epic only stuff to 5 star. I have Athel and Elhain lvl 40, but I haven't really used them outside of tag team. I have Conellia, Zargala, Alika and Hoskarul that I really want to make 5*. I have a bunch of epics that I have pulled that I haven't even really looked at yet. There's so many champions that it's a bit overwhelming and I'm really not sure what I should be doing or who I should be working on. Lol. But I am having fun, at least. Even if I don't feel like I'm progressing as fast as I could be.
frozen banshee brings double amount poison dmg than kael
Marquess can hit hard in arena with right setup
both are rare
3800 items to complete the entire event, meanwhile gear storage stays the same... I sit at 1280 items constantly, the only gear i can delete is 6* epic or higher with no flat stats on main or sub, most of it is rolled to 8-12 and i clear anything that doesnt roll how i want it to.
1300 is just stupid, im guna have to start just storing gear on vaulted champs and using silver to remove it when i need to use it...
I got Aothar when I was around mid game and he carried my clan boss team until late game.
Thanks for tuning in ;)
@@ASH-RAID Random thought here. I'm going to free to play from being a 200 a month spender. It's a big shift in how I approach the game. I think it would be a good video to see how one would approach shifting from spender to free to play. Keep on doing what you do!
what about Fayne? she has all the debuffs you need + damage
Freaked out a bit seeing ash wearing my mothers bedroom wallpaper >_>
My question for campaign farmer
I have bellower maxed (gear needs to be helped)
I have fellhound (only level 30 cuz I don’t want to invest yet since I have bellower)
Should I be trying for yankia still?
Or shoul I just get my gear correct on bellower?
I don't have any of these and I have been playing for sometime. I'm level 66
I'm mid game and have recently cleared spider 25. Just wanna say that trumborr deserves more respect.
Thanks for watching ;)
I made the mistake of choosing Galek as my starting champion. I got him to 50, then pulled Fellhound with my second ancient shard. Galek is still sitting at 50.
You can't get Fellhound from ancients
@@Gratian97 Sorry. Void shard. I was tired when I posted it
Congrats on Fellhound ;)
@@ASH-RAID Thanks! I won't mention how many Harriers I've pulled though...
The mighty boosh moon 😍😂😂
How do you upgrade the amount of energy you can produce in Raid please tell me because I can only produce 81 energy so please tell me how to do it 😢
You just need to level up ur account....
Frozen banshee is a good rare poison replacement for Kael.
I play for 3 years or more. I don't even have genbo, skullcrown or the other dark elf guy. I have python... F2P btw.
If you don't have somebody better than Kael by the time you've unlocked Dark Kael you've done something terribly wrong.
saurus needs insane gear to do damage at least for me idk why
The best rare poisener is Frozen Banshee at least for me
Poisons just as well as Occult Brawler lol
@@swankman533 thats an Epic lol
@@benjaminniedermayr2353 exactly dude, she’s just that good
My biggest mistake is not investing in a speed boost for like 6 months. It should have been my first 6 star. 😂
This just in, Gnut outdamages Kael 🥳. Now, time to watch the video.
LOL... Thanks for watching ;)
when do they ever drop i just keep getting the same champs over and over again
