24hrs & INSANE GAINS ALREADY FTP DAY 1 2023 | Raid: Shadow Legends

[@alexhopkins5499]

Imagine a feast being given to new players so they can almost immediately 6* their starter champ or somebody else they pull. That’d be an insane catch-up mechanic!

[@HellHades]

Would be amazing

[@_Ranger01_]

Might aswell give them 10 legos and enough books to book them while you’re at it..

[@michielankersmit8656]

Bad idea, you dont want them to steamroll all earlygame content day 1, they will literally learn nothing and will not be requied to experiment with anything

[@simoonly1]

@michiel ankersmit you can do that already if you spend like 100 dollars first day. Grind didn't stop after first 6 star it's just start with it. Casual player make first 6 star after 15 days this is really bad conception.

[@alexhopkins5499]

@@michielankersmit8656 one 6* champ would help new players breeze through most of campaign and early stages of dungeons, neither of which really help introduce team synergy or mechanics, it’s all just brute force. But there’s so much content in the game now that getting past the early content quickly still leaves a ton of content to play through and especially the more fun parts of the game. Nobody genuinely enjoys campaign

[@ninaarmstrong7744]

Love how outlaw monk is still great if u don’t have kael…some things never change even in the 3 years I’m playing lol super quick tip if anyone pulls a mystic hand, don’t feed, get him to 50 (he can be food later) but he is super clutch for stealing the big shield in magic keep…helped me progress in there a great deal

[@EpicWarrior131]

Lol.. I started my account a little over 4 months ago and outlaw monk took me all the way to brutal max chest in clan boss Just kept him at level 50

[@HDmetajoker]

I just started my second account about 2 months ago so I passed on this challenge, but it’s so fun to follow all the creators around and watch the progress. It’s Raid’s version of Hermitcraft and I am HERE FOR IT! Hope to see this again next year so I can join then. Good luck everyone!

[@Saltheart_Foamfollower]

2 advantages for you at Aravia 6 - 1: speed boots. 2: rare high elves drop for faction guardians.

[@fyyer]

After 15 Minutes of playing I got my first ancient shard, opened it and got Duchess. Best start I ever had. Today I opened another 4 shards and got Nobel. I don't know how good he is but hey, I got two legendarys in the first 24h

[@aaronwalcott513]

This is the tutelage that younger players need from a F2P series. Plus it was entertaining. A mastered Elhain and a leveled Monk will surely bring you more W's on Hard and maybe Brutal, too.

[@Ounouh]

It's so much more exiting to watch these early game things. That CB fight was intense

[@Ounouh]

I even felt really bad for you that you couldn't pull an epic that could have been a game changer! :D

[@bucks0133]

Great info as long as you do any research prior to playing. I clicked like mad in my beginning and luckily chose Kael without understanding ANYTHING. Hardest part is making sure to focus on leveling up one champ at a time. Utilize your resources.

[@howardhulljr]

Great series HH. I wish I had focused on Missions earlier in the game. Just hit level 70, day 158 and only 33/60 on part 4 of the progress missions.

[@OddOneGaming]

Haha, I was hoarding heroes in the vault from pulling mystery shards, that why the big power 😆

[@cuhullin3539]

I did one of these last year and invested the time and energy into maxing out Chonuru off the rip, masteries ascensions books six star and the starter lifesteal gear. Absolute carry through early dungeons (she can solo most of them relatively quickly cause of her cooldown reset), arena, and a 10 sec 12-3 brutal farmer. Even as you replace her in every dungeon team and in the arena and clan boss as you progress, you'll still keep her as your campaign farmer forever.

[@sterlingarcher2287]

21:00 "Saph's feet smell like goats" lmfao!!

[@NickLandry]

Awesome content. I still have so many questions about stuff you seem to have skipped in this tutorial series: 1. How do you get so much Silver to level gear to level 12 or 16? It seems to cost millions to get gear to 16. 2. How do you decide which rares to keep vs which to food? 3. Are you doing Faction Wars? I have kept a ton of 30's and 40's to have full teams in Faction Wars. I currently have six "good / non-food" level 50's, but no 60's yet. 4. When/how do you spend your XP brews? To level your "good champions" only or do you also use them to speed up leveling food champions?

[@russelnichols5193]

I got up this morning and saw the 2x ancient, third shard Tatura lol great way to start my 2023 FTP :)

[@coffeeshangarworkshop8051]

I wasn't going to do this, but then I played with the spinners on your page and rolled Kael plus Deacon...so I'm going for it. Like lady h the first try I forgot to get the promo code champion, and I hit level eight before remembering, and then I wasn't able to get it because it said for new players only... Do'h!!! So I restarted a new account. I suspect lady H and Ii are probably neck-and-neck at the moment. I'm rooting for her by the way! Newbies for the win!!!

[@psytickofficial2621]

Made my start yesterday and managed to pull a Zavia from Ancients today. Her paired with Kael as my starter is really going to help me push through a lot of content. Loving to see the progress so far HH :D

[@no1stress77]

In regards to 4:50 I'm a newish player also and my first 6* was a pain , I also fed a bunch of good champions without knowing and I delayed my progress by a lot. Thanks to HH I now have a place to look on before feeding my champions and preparing my foods.

[@Ellaineix]

20:29 Imagine if they actually make Dark Monk a champion😂

[@IanRiley915]

Missions and Challenges are enough to get your ascension for your first epic. Use Skinner for Magic, Rocktooth for Spirit, and Bandit for Force. The tough one is void. I grind for spirithost, but you just want to keep a lookout for a cleanser. That will allow you clear past stage 7 in all potion dungeons day 1.

[@MANGO-SAXON]

Man it is so much fun watching an account from fresh, especially someone that knows the game inside out. I cant dedicate the time to a second account, my current end game account takes up too much of my day as it is.

[@hms1998]

Hyria is actually decent early game. Poisons and ally attack help in early CB and dragon.

[@zorigooleo]

Starter promo codes not working. Says "Processing" and nothing happened. What should I do?

[@westocity4216]

The Demon Lord mission might be easier than it sounds cuz I'm certain it tracks across multiple runs, it's not a single run mission if I recall correctly

[@Geckomayhem]

I feel so far behind! I didn't even know about the Djamarsa thing. That's a real eye opener. At least I got my Kael to 5-star within the first 24 hours, but even completing normal campaign and 800 gems are still out of reach...

[@SlayersGaming]

All of these events at the same time are so exciting but I just don't have enough resources to do them all

[@JohnDoe-mq3nk]

So is it better to have a great defense or low defense in arena and tag arena ?

[@bigmezz5537]

everytime i make a throwaway, i try to get to the sacred at least on missions within the first few days and if possible try and get through some of the potion keeps missions before they all close after the first week. It is possible, i've done it maybe twice where Ive got to the end of brutal within 24 hours (not 3*, your other champs wont be able to survive). But your first ancients need to be really lucky, or very unlucky (get a bunch of bad epics to feed to kael straightaway to make him 5 star), by that point with the 300 gem reward, you should have him 5* fully masteried, he can tear through brutal and get the lifesteal gear early to fill the void till the daily reward ones come in. Get the artifact challenges done as early as possible and then you should have enough energy to blitz hard + brutal no problem, i tend to have the problem i have to remove the 2nd champ to have kael 3* it on his own haha. Wish theyd rework the quests, theres a mission to get 3 star clan activity, and then a few down the line there is a demon lord 500k damage, which is a bit annoying when youre trying to get through them quickly, 100 gems is an annoying investment just for a demon lord key. all they have to do is switch them and then you could do the first set of missions AND have the gems to mastery.

[@Hewey]

I started a ftp along with you and pulled a Roric Wyrmbane on my 2nd Ancient shard!!!!!!

[@damonpugh4402]

What a fun and exciting event for the whole Raid community, whether you decided to participate or just watch. Good Luck HH, and best regards and good luck to Lady H as well. Will keep my fingers crossed for your next shard pull. Cheers.

[@CesarLopez-vd3zp]

HH, Hyria can be good early clan boss.. she got poison and ally attack too.. really good

[@chasepeterson1696]

i had the same problem with deacon. he doesn't get hte extra turn on the a3 til hes ascended to level 3... i spent the time grinding pots but i didn't like it. put me behind on getting elhain to 50

[@nikoswat123]

do they ever do a second event for the fragment champs. Or is it just impossible to get it again if u dont get it now?

[@roguefiend]

They don't do it again, but if you get above 50 fragments there are fragment packs

[@Catangerine]

They sometimes offer the remaining fragments you need in the shop for real world money, but otherwise it is impossible to complete it if you dont do it in these weeks of the fusion

[@beowulf1563]

No they never do any fusion again. They only offer you ways to buy fragments.

[@nikoswat123]

ah ok, thanks for the answer guys!

[@g.g.baxter4868]

Question about the free to play. Assuming theirs hero paths for the remaining 3 starter champions. Will those playing be excluded from taking the blessings or surely it puts all the Elhain players at a disadvantage

[@MugRuith]

Does shield set stack? Is there benefit from putting it on multiple characters or just on one?

[@NaRvI_GD]

Started with worst possible chemps Galek + Chonoru. Pulled Bad El and Gorgo out of 5 AS. FTP broken in less then 24h xD

[@DPR-GENX]

I already play two level 100 accounts full time and working hard on the Pythion fragment event on both accounts right now while also working a part time job so I had to pass on this opportunity as much as I would love to be competing against you guys!

F2P shard pulls are so much more exciting. Was rooting for any good champion (not just legendary). Among the rares: Frozen Banshee, Apothecary, Soulbound Bowyer and a cheeky Kael would be awesome. On that note, are you allowed to use other starter champions if you happen to pull them from shards?

[@booyafools5897]

I don't see a reason not too

[@deefpaladin]

I'm looking for hidden gems in the early game, and I think commons might be underrated. If you need a single target debuff, there is a common with it that has a surprisingly good chance of landing it on their A1.

[@vgalis]

Their stats are just really, really bad. Now there's some uncommons that can justify their place on a Faction Wars team quite deep into that, and I'm not talking Armiger that is still useful later in the game.

[@pocketqueens830]

@@vgalis honestly sometimes its just you cant ascend them to give them extra stats that makes them not viable lol

[@BooperSchmooper]

6 month FTP player here. For FTP long haul, isn't gem mine worth it over masteries? cus Like my starter farmed 12-3 brutal without masteries just fine lol. I did get the first two points into offense by farming early Mino though.

[@usagi3919]

I am on day 54 of my new ftp. Since this is my 6th account I might have used up all the promo codes. none of them worked and some stated it was for new players. I tried keeping my power lvl low for better match ups for arena but ended up opening a bunch of shards to get a all the rewards and win a tournament. I ended up pulling Ghostborn, hoskarul, and Chonoru which drastically inflated my player power. Elhain with spirithost in the crappy shield set 3 starred Felwin's gate on hard.

[@CJVeinhorn]

I started a 'Use only Rares' FTP Account. And with my first Ancient Shard I pulled Wythir the Crowned. Well .... xD

[@svarozjov]

Elhain is best starter by mine oppinion: She is pure damage so you don't bother with ACC or anything else, just pump her from start to nuke. She has two AoEs and double A1, it is straight damage. Only downside is that she is not good as Kael for CB (but Kael is not any more champ you would drag along to higher levels of CB, so for easy and normal, Elhain is equally good), and she need side support for debufs and bufs...

[@aasgier9091]

Kael as a starter is great until you pull Frozen Banshee - after that Kael goes for a one way trip to the vault if it wasn't for Faction Wars. Elhain and Athel don't have that risk, and both have interesting implications for Clan Boss; Athel has the A1 Weaken and Elhain's A1 has this odd thing that gives it the chance to trigger Warmaster twice; there are not many abilities in the game that do that. (I have heard Fayne's A1 is another, but I can't confirm that.)

[@seanforbes1034]

@Aasgier idk bout that. I have banshee maxed for CB and still use Kael in most dungeons instead of her. I can only bring 5 dudes into dungeons doncha'know

[@aasgier9091]

@@seanforbes1034 For me Kael actively was a liability at times because his A3 sometimes just was like "nope, no poisons" despite him having 300+ accuracy. Frozen Banshee made the runs slower but also basically guaranteed to work as long as she wasn't wrong affinity, which I appreciated because I was (and am) often AFK when playing Raid so success rate is far more important than speed for me. Eventually I switched to Rowan for Dragon 25 because she's Void and was the only thing I had available. Far from the best option - and definitely not the fastest - but it works at least until I switch to a solo champion, which I do want to do.

[@svarozjov]

@@aasgier9091 Really, I never notice that in Elhain A1

[@vgalis]

I think the main thing people overlook is that having 2 AoEs makes clearing campaign soo much easier. She can A3, A2, A1, then A2 again. Once your A2 can knock out all the enemies in a stage, it's hard to lose, whereas both Athel and Kael spend more turns waiting for their big AoE to come back during which time they're getting hit by 3-4 enemies. Then again, I made all my referrals using the link for Juliana, so I don't actually need Kael for CB.

[@mathurin7526]

Hyria has a Poison a2 and Ally Attack a3. Hatchet Slinger has an Unkillable mechanic.
