[@ECHO-Gaming]

Thanks for having me brother. Always a great time 👊

[@RandomNY1234]

1st Mistake.. taking credit card out of wallet.. lol

[@randomname2308]

and 9 other mistakes should be the same

[@hammerhiem75]

I disagree, if you spend smart in the early game (like $100 worth of smart spending) you can massively jumpstart an account.

[@fuzzy6329]

Facts 😂

[@stefanoconrotto9998]

​@@hammerhiem75Yep, that's how addiction started for me 4 years ago

[@henrybarragan42]

Both valid points 🤣

[@Salvamad]

13. Go for the guaranteed Annie and accidentally pull Odin + Taras too, making your dmg gear deficit basically endless.

[@suolevramarvelous]

14. Reading comments like this and not fighting the urge to pull a few void shards

[@kennethcf4925]

@@suolevramarvelous lmao! :p

[@Salvamad]

@@suolevramarvelous My deepest apologies. The second account got only Annie, Ursuga and Tramaria so i guess life still gives those lemons too.

[@Hondo_1075]

Great Hall was a huge area that is causing me grief. Wasn't aware that you needed to upgrade it for Arbiter missions so was just throwing coins in everything. Now i'm stuck at getting one to level 9. Going to be at it for a while.

[@NexusWulf99]

Bro I was there too... Imagine spending all those coins just to see that you need to lvl 10 and win 200 offense, shjt was demoralizing, but I managed to pull thru by cherry picking a lot of one champ battles

[@zachg1212]

Yeah you need like 4 great halls level 10 its rough

[@nickprendergast1579]

once you get into gold 4-5, put a 1 champ in your defense. it makes you jump up and down the ranks so easily and basically guarantees you wins because youll be fighting the weaker teams just to get back up to where you were. and it also helps everyone else doing those missions. or if you wanna be cheeky, put paragon in and cheese some easy defenses if they dont have a way to kill through unkillable. people will fight it because its a one champ defense and its an easy way to get free medals passively

[@sawyerslack9782]

Before realizing this I was spreading all my coins to every bonus. 🥴

[@Lones555]

I think the final lesson was the most important one: "Just have fun". If you're grinding 24/7 and spending 24/7 you're going to end up miserable.

[@WesleyWynn-m7b]

i have never played with sound on either. went to check it out and yeah the altar of souls sounds wicked

[@BenjaminKibbey]

As someone who's only been playing just short of three months, this is very appreciated. Also, as a total noob, I have to say, the thing that always kills me most about your videos (aside from when you show your gear storage) is that forge sitting there with a number in the thousands. EDIT: Because I posted before reaching the end (had to pause and walk the dogs), I think your final point is really so key. It's why FTP is still fun with this game, and even why "pay to win" doesn't completely fit. Not because of the "pay" part, but because of the "win" part. There is no "win" in RSL in terms of a crowning champion or whatever. There is no ultimate, final point or top achievement everyone is after. It's all the little wins along the way, and those feel just as good when you are beating the first level of the campaign as the first time you break 10 million damage on clan boss.

[@priestguardian2587]

Echo Raid is a great entertaining channel .. watch him daily and enjoy his 5 videos every week watching his journey

[@ECHO-Gaming]

Thanks homie

[@ThePharaz]

I finished the Arbiter missions around a year ago but I've been stuck on getting to Team Arena Silver II for 7 months now. I also haven't gotten 2 impulse Artifacts. The problem is I hate PvP. Arena, Cursed City, and Seige. Like you, Ash, I did no research for months and didn't use crit rate or speed. Also, after several months, I didn't have any gear more than 4 stars and never had the silver-to-level equipment, so I had no clue about the difference. I also had no clue how much Masteries could affect your champion and ignored it until I was around level 90, thinking it was just part of the end game. I have the sound on minimum to hear it's there and no music. I love that when I click outside the game the sound turns completely off. I generally watch KZbin videos or stream TV shows while playing.

[@TheDoctor10.0]

Never even played siege myself, but if you have rathalos all you need is a speed booster and a hp burner. My team is about 100k power and I'm in gold 3. But you need to go first.

[@MGShadow1989]

Getting doom tower keys used helped me a lot in the most recent CvC - I had been bullying Magma Dragon for about 3 weeks, had loads of that set. I've been bullying the 2nd hardest Eternal Dragon this rotation, can't get the very top floor done and a few secret rooms I'm stuck on, but I'm collecting a lot of Bloodthirst I could still make some use of. Accuracy is becoming my main problem now. A few are fine, Staltus and Coldheart for example are above 200, but I recently put Stag Knight to 60 and haven't fully ascended him yet so he's lacking a banner, sitting at 170ish accuracy - this made Elva from revival path such an upgrade, because she doesn't require accuracy, can make her all about survival and speed.

[@Gegota82]

As a new player, I'm coming up on my 9 months here soon. I'll be getting my Visix the Unbowed here in 1-2 weeks. The only thing I focus on is getting as many Hydra chests as possible to get Mythrala faster, and I almost have her. I think I'm 80'something fragments, so about 3 weeks or so, and I'll have her as I get about 3 chests a week.

[@nickprendergast1579]

put visix in a cursed set and she'll cover your provoker, protector and hexer for hydra all in one champ. and shes void so dont haveto worry about weak hits. can also make her a mischeif tank as well if need be. when i got mythrala she was an absolute game changer

[@usagi3919]

Keep your power level as low as possible for as long as possible to get better match ups to get to gold level in classic arena faster which helps in clearing challenges as well as Arbiter missions. It also helps in getting stat increase from the great Hall. you need to upgrade 3 attack affinity bonus for the challenges. Work on Fusing Broadmaw, he is a better reviver than Shaman. Since his affinity is void, you can clear challenges requiring 4 different affinity arena teams without having to pull a void shard, or use the fused Arbalester or rockbeast you get from fusing the uncommon champs. Debuffs from gear sets do not require accuracy. farm spider level 10 early on to get 5 star accessories more frequently.

[@TheHeadown]

As someone who still plays CoC, I love seeing these good old content creators from back in the day come together again to cover another game I´m playing. 👍

[@michaelgeorge4614]

My F2P tip: use the guardian ring to level 4* food and fusion food on lvls 22-40. It’s a great way to level up and it costs a lot of energy to level them up to max.

[@PeterBatty-f5n]

my biggest mistake has been not saving live arena gear sets I missing 1 Impulse helmet to complete the mission and have received 3 chests looking for since I got to the mission. I am 2 wins out of 35 in for the next one but given my win rate is c40% and I don't spend it could take awhile before I get there. Also I much preferer PvE to PvP not so keen on live arena in general find it slow takes 3-4 minutes and then I lose again.

[@KallahKrafted]

Thank you for having content aimed at newer players! As someone who recently picked up the game these videos really help us newbies out!

[@Saus3657]

Been waiting for this collab. No shortage of energy here!

[@NaajiRahmbah]

my biggest lessons learned as a new player involved Apothecary. I accidentally fed him & when I did finally pull him, I loading him up with accuracy

[@rogerhuggettjr.7675]

My Hydra system given I don't specialize builds for specific areas is simple. (I one-key the easy, hard and brutal level in auto and try to do better if I have time.) In descending order of difficulty, I have at least one burner (Geo and Artak, Mordecai, Scrank), reviver (Ducess, Elva and Pythion, White Queen and Godseeker). With the exceptions or Brogni, Deacon Armstrong and Lady Kimi, the rest are damage deals of a strong affinity against the most heads, although, as my strongest dealers, Sun Wu and Xena always is in.

[@V1K4N3S]

Question: Can you get legends that you get from Hydra/Missions/Doom Tower/Faction Wars (Lydia) in Shards?

[@justacoolguy336]

Casually having 10 sacred shards Me: 🤬 On a side note Ash i really changed my account for the better after watching your channel. The crit rate on gloves and speed on boots boosted me up alot

[@johnhoray3794]

The best tip by far was to remember to enjoy the game. I took death knight to 60 and have never once regretted it. I did it for no other reason than he's my favorite character in the game. To each his own but make sure you have fun. After all, it's a game and that's what it's for.

[@Sigma-Epsilon]

Ash you should do a Collaboration with Game Leap and Krebs, they have some great content and they are genuinely entertaining!

[@diceonrice]

Idk man to me gameleap content has many bad advise and poor decision. When it's right, it's actually redundant from other CC might as well just watch others in the first place.

[@nightking4132]

@@diceonrice Lol.. even ECHO Gaming has some low tier IQ gameplay for this game... Dude didn't even know how to build a proper team for doom tower.. He's been playing for quite some time now... But always play on auto in his content leading to always failing in his run... If ECHO can do a collab with ASH, then anyone can... 🤣🤣 The moment you argue that Gameleap has many bad advise and poor decision while the current colab of Ash is ECHO, then your argument in invalid 🤣🤣

[@EXODIADIO]

Thanks you guys for the sharing experience ,now I will do my missions

[@dreddgaming6468]

Off topic question but are the 5 year anniversary rewards for plarium play still available? If so how could i claim them

[@Krx_Boogeyman]

Been watching Echo Gaming, sense the Trojan Wars day’s in Clash of Clan. Done 2 Trojan Wars with him. Amazing to see this collab…

[@synxiec]

I play with the game music muted, but with all the sound effects on so I know exactly what whisper he's talking about and it is pretty cool.

[@TomArmy12W]

My comment really has nothing to do with your video, but i dont know where else to ask. But i’m a returning player to Raid. Came back during pinpoint set. Ive watched alot of your videos & youve mentioned in the past that you speak with Plarium reps. So i have a question. Will the other 9 piece sets ever be cycled through a dungeon again in future for players that missed out on the sets that have already been launched?

[@galidornelkenmeer]

The Doom Tower sliver keys shouldn't be hard to miss because using 5 of them is always in daily Advanced Quests. Which dovetails into the one of the biggest essentials which wasn't mentioned, making sure to do all the daily quests. Also, everyone needs to be aware about what I consider something needs to be fixed. The rewards for the Advanced Quests don't roll over the 275 milestone into the next series, and there are numerous ways to get multiple quests completed. If you are sitting at 274 and hit 3 completions in one go you are going to lose out on credit for 2 of the quests. So, I always make sure to keep an eye on it and only do enough to make sure I hit the limit without going over.

[@SeliKitty]

11. It's fine to let rewards go to your inbox, especially energy, so you can save it for future events/fusions

[@markwhelan9887]

Sound is on most of the time unless im farming and im not actually watching the game otherwise its a must. And as for champions i only upgrade the S tier champions otherwise 50 does most things especially if you have soul stars on your champs as if they are over 3 star it helps out plenty.

[@NastyLove]

Thanks!!!

[@Fledermausmann]

I'm honestly glad that Ash does collabs with smaller content creators. I mean that's how I learnt about Echo in the first place and I do quite enjoy his content and watching his journey through Raid. Edit: oh and if you're so inclined, two of my other favourite content creators Mobile Gamer and AhnaldT101 have recently got into the game. Would pay some real money to see a Collab between you three!!!

[@danielanthony7314]

One thing as you progress is figure out who your best champs are for each part of the game. Clan boss, arena etc. focus on building those and investing in those. Don’t waste resources building out every new “cool” champion you get. Make sure they will be an upgrade over your current champ you’re using. I made this mistake so many times.

[@MrJeremy43]

A trip back in time, watching some OG Clash of Clans CCs!

[@Lord_Mangoat]

One big tip I have that I always see gets missed on these kinds of videos has to do with the forge. Specifically, the magisteel. this resource caps at 10k. Which means any earned after getting to 10k is all just lost. Doesn't go to your inbox. Just gone. You earn this resource from arena and forge pass. I wouldn't suggest going nuts on crafting gear. Save that for CvC points. Daily though? Just try staying just under that 10k, so no resources are lost. Those few crafts to stay under that 10k will likely just be silver, but everyone needs silver. Fragment summons always wait on. Do them for emergency CvC points, but I'd try holding onto them until another fusion champ chase to complete that next fusion even easier. Classic fusions though, remember to fuse them before the fusion ends. Otherwise you will miss out on getting that fusion, even if you have all the champs to fuse it. When the timer ends, they are gone. One thing to watch for is SOMETIMES they might do a champ chase or CvC near the end of these kinds of fusions.

[@brianscharlau4018]

Ash I never even LOOKED for content to actually learn how to play until I was already a YEAR in... Yikes! Thanks for the video. I am gonna show this to a friend I JUST got to join the game.

[@tnasty92ful]

Played runescape for more than a decade and sound can be very helpful in PVE combat as they can tell you what attack is coming next. Still never played with sound. Music or podcasts

[@mysticfury21]

Echo is so fun to watch 😂❤️

Play with sound on and have Gnut use his A3. Its so satisfying.

[@timpodlich1261]

Tip i heard early keep at least 1 of every rare after faction guardians. When that justicar and diabolist fusion came i was set

[@thewins9155]

Watching whilst doing missions and hearing the guys I watch didn't do there missions after 5 years and 1 year respectively, and I've been playing for 44 days straight, and I'm 157 missions in on Arbiter😂 but I have to admit I'm really addicted to the game and have been making a tone of mistakes😬

[@barbararowley6077]

I only play games with sound if the sound provides important clues - like there’s an enemy/boss approaching. Apologies to game devs, because I know the soundscape is a major part of games, but I’m normally doing multiple things at once by necessity

[@etherealdragon123]

One "mistake" I made for the longest time was not knowing you could do Hard doom tower without 100% clearing normal first. Lot of lower floor rewards left unclaimed

[@ΝικοςΘαρουνιατης]

great video but a question a bit of context. When you show in the end last episode's top comments you mean the 3 most liked or just three random comments cause non of those three you showed are the top 3 most liked. I am just curious to know.

[@IncubiAkster]

How do you even do hydra. I unlocked it a week ago and the thing oneshots or near oneshots my lvl 60s. Hydra unlocks way way too early, my best units do like 50k damage. Dracomorph/Loki/Wukong/Royal guard at soul 4 cant do nuthin.

[@jewabeus]

I did not know about the whispering either. I listen to KZbin videos while playing.

[@bronchiosaurus2766]

played raid with sounds on for about 2 hours, the constant noise in battle gave me a migrane, over 3 years withot sounds since

[@ZEROBREW]

great video!

[@tonuppirate]

Over 100 ancient shards 6 epics it feels like the double chance is in reverse and means double less a really shocking return

[@leedunning1825]

Yes, the whispers... they're cool but man, very creepy at the same time.

[@medusa_007]

Biggest problem for new players is too many champions in the beginning to pic and level the advice I can give take Kael make him 60 sacrifice all other unless you have a Deacon, Turagi, Rector, Farakin, Dugg, Geomancer, Tagoar from a promo code then get the epic if one of those to 60 AFTER Kael then start building up teams, most importantly do the arbiter missions from the start and try to keep them in sync with your challenges you can get arbiter in 8-12 weeks if you play daily.

[@NexusWulf99]

I think another problem is that there was so many things to do in Raid. I wished I looked at a guide first before I blindly played Raid. I didnt even focus on Arbiter until after I unlocked Arena, I was just skipping thru those missions by the time I got my first Legendary and grinding in campaign and dungeons.

[@davidzamora8342]

You will not get arbiter in 8 to 12 weeks unless you have great pulls from your shards. You progress greatly but once you hit the final stretch if your roster isn’t deep then your not clearing the final dungeon lvl 20 set also hitting 100 million on nightmare.

[@medusa_007]

@@davidzamora8342 100 mil in one day if you get tactical you can use 6 keys in one day very doable the hardest for me was spider 20 I never has an AOE burner and I got arbiter in the HH series so did one of the other guys and we could not use lego's we pulled.

my advice would be ... lvl up camps that you have good acessories for them... early game thats not easy to find

[@LoonyTuga]

My first and biggest mistake was made on my first account when i used good champions to level up a few bad ones..... should have searched earlier Your channel

[@AssasinMonkeys]

It blows my mind how many people play with no sound. Not to judge or anything (y’all do you) but it’s one of those things I’ll never understand.

[@ElevenBricks]

I also ussually play with no sound. I had no idea there where whispers lol

[@Jadeskorpion]

Only set up to use the exact number of multi battles. I wasted thousands of multi plays at the beginning not knowing you lose any that don't get used.

Sound on! That’s how I know something is done and not have to pay attention

[@vincenttrujillo3586]

WOR: Tides has a metal sound track as your team battles.

Plarium seems to put as much effort into the sound as they do the visuals, if you haven't played with the sound on you are missing out ! Also, where are the Bunnymen ?

[@leafarespinosa8257]

Sound for sure… not always… but certainly when doing things not on Auto

[@gpvh4426]

I never play mobile games with the sound on. The music gets stuck in my head for days. I usually turn the sound effects off too or way way low so as not to be annoying other people around me.

[@nickallen2053]

No cap on the missions only got that one last mission to do and that's a fuse lol

[@Sodamachine62]

Even with key roles for hydra in the early game you do like 1 million damage

[@rogerhuggettjr.7675]

It's hard for me to use a champ and not 6* them. The only 5*s I use ae metal shaper and muckstalker and it's a temptation to do them even with a dozen cheap leggos in the vault.

[@MrSimonvk]

Last advice is the best advice

[@Silver-h7h]

In my free to play account after 2 years I’m still stuck in between silver 2 and 4 in arena so no arbiter yet

[@2phil4u]

I also dont use all my silver Keys in DT every day but i try too.

[@kemsari9969]

I have to say, that for me, as a player, that is not very deep into the game mechanics (i play auto most of the time) and does not really know how many champs work, bringing them up to 60 and give them masteries, makes a HUGE difference for my faction wars teams. So i disagree with "most of them work when they are level 50".
