Hey, 3 year old veteran here😂 man I have quite a decent grasp on artifacts and their sub-stats, but since I hit end game I found it really difficult to know what is good and not. Literally today I was searching around for artifact videos etc to find you brought out one just now. Thanks for this I found it truly useful and hope you do some more artifact videos from time to time!

[@dylanbersano9488]

Honestly! Endgame artifacts to me are much harder to choose between than any point in my early to mid game ones.

[@izzyplusplusplus1004]

You're very articulate for being three years old.

[@ASH-RAID]

Thanks man! Glad it helped :)

[@kalebli5502]

5 year Og Raider here. And I still am still befuddled when it comes to gear.

[@JayTator]

A video showcasing which areas the various sets are ideal for would be amazing

[@Suop27]

That always depends on the team and the champs, there are no rules you can go by

[@ASH-RAID]

Thanks for the suggestion :)

[@coreydumouchel6592]

I totally agree with this!!!

[@jjohns941]

This is a GREAT video. It is always good to remind older players and newer ones how to '"read" the artifacts. I have fallen into the 6* legendary is best trap and after watching this I plan to take the time to go through every artifact I have. Not only will I cull out the dross, I'll make a bunch of silver too! Thank you Ash, I for one really needed this reminder.

[@ASH-RAID]

Thanks man! Glad you like it :)

[@Shnookie3.14]

I usually auto skip gear vids but I'm glad I sat through this one. It makes me happy you spoke to to progression players as well. Most cc's are end game and beginning to mid game players are watching and end up selling good gear for their accounts.

[@ASH-RAID]

Thanks for watching :)

[@ndi7365]

thx for the help started watching by your content when I got the game and the community content creators are genuinely the most helpful i’ve seen in a while

[@PARRAINAGE-df4nc]

Speaking of equipment, 1 hour of free equipment removal means nothing, either 100% free or they keep their 3 hours free, otherwise thumbs up for the video, thank you ASH

[@Shyranelch]

ASH really has our back *smiles*. I think you did a great job and while asking specifically for feedback on your triple roll philosophy at 38:00 : I absolutely agree. Since fitting gear is the real challenge in this game, after one year into the game I'm not missing out on champs, more on great equipment, the best solution to install fitting sets is probably massive rolls on the respective piece. It makes putting them together easier on a little bit more independent form the rest of the equipment you're using. Even though we have the Optimzer from HH at hand.

[@simulatec5774]

I do struggle with gear overall so this is helpful thanks bucko especially your take on the recasting gloves,chest,boots very good advice!

[@ASH-RAID]

Thanks man! Glad it helps :)

[@sykesc2]

This was VERY helpful. I have been playing for about a year and a half and have a basic set of criteria I have been using to try to keep my gear under control. Your video took my criteria to the next level. I really appreciate you sharing your thoughts about how 5* and 6* pieces differ and how players at different stages might view the stats differently. Thanks for another excellent video!

[@johnF7151]

I love that you took the time to explain it. I've been playing for 18 months and nearing Mithralla and Arbiter finally. Some might think I'd be further along for a midgamish account. One of my biggest headaches is gear and sorting through and prioritizing it. I haven't seen another person explain it for a moron like me 😂. Appreciate you bro!

[@dobby27uk]

Thanks Ash. I'm a new player (day 52, level 50) and at a place where i am hitting campaign in Brutal and stage 7/8 in most dungeons (except iron twins, i just die there!). Almost every battle generates the 'upgrade your artifacts' as an advice popup and so videos like this that talk through the charms, stats and advise where to use the gear are really helpful.

[@beartune]

Less than a year on Raid, and I have to say, Ash you are so awesome. If not for your videos I would be clueless and mostly because of you I am still going. In 11 days I get Visix. I can't wait! Then I can go watch your Visix guide.

[@DoomedToastr3000]

Love the video. You made another video previously about inventory storage management and recognizing what stats work well together and when to roll to lvl4/8/12. That video REALLY helped me clean house mid game. I'm now much farther in my account and hitting that point of running out of room again, so this is a huge help and a reminder of what stats to focus on.

[@Rileey22]

Thank you Ash for the advices, I thought sometimes, I do stupid thing with "increase the floor" thing, I am at early mid game, but already selling every 4* artifacts since 3-4 months (although I have ~300 days in the game) and also I sell most of my rare 5* artifacts so it's good to hear I do it right. Thanks for the video, more like this could come :)

[@judithflow3131]

For the centerline trio of gloves, chest and boots as well as the amulet and the banner, I generally only keep the ones with their exclusive prio-stats: CDamage, CRate, ACC, RES and SPD. The rest seems to drop much more commonly for me, so in the rare case I need one of those, I can generally easily aquire them. But, I'm always short on those prio-stats. The C-Damage gloves I *only* pick up when they come with the C-Rate substat. This isn't really necessary, but it does make it much easier to scrounge the required C-Rate to get that C-Damage to matter in the first place. I don't need RES chests or RES banners that often, so I regularly check how many I have of those for a given set or faction and throw away the worst ones, keeping 2 or 3 of them at most. Recently, I started dumping all my 5* gear, except some mythicals that are really good. A really good 5* mythical can sometimes be as good as, or even better than a really good 6* Legendary. This is especially the case for rings. A mythical 5* ring with its mythical boost on the percentile bonus matching the rings' primary stat, can end up being better than a similar 6* Legendary ring, though this does also depend on the champion you put it on. Still, these are "rules of thumb" that apply to my account at my current state of progress in the game. It's constantly evolving. I haven't reached the stage yet where I'm aiming for tripple-rolls on a single substat, but who knows? I might get to that point sometime as well, or maybe I'll end up with some entirely different system instead.

[@freewookiee]

really great video Ash. I've been playing for over 4 years and still find it useful to hear how good layers think about sorting and leveling their gear. Thanks!

[@ASH-RAID]

Thanks man! Glad you like it :)

[@matthewegan5735]

I really appreciate this vid. Just started a few months ago. And alot of the artifacts sets and sub stats are very nuanced for this game. I come from swgoh so I'm used to looking for different things. This was very helpful. Thank you

[@walterwillis5351]

Excellent advice. Part of my filtering is that a piece needs to have a % substat and it has to be 5% and up. Legendary/Mythical pieces need 2 substats that are %. I only keep 5* Legendary and 6* pieces.

[@TI3VOM1]

This is exactly the type of video that most of the newish players need. The stat pool is somewhat complex. Excellent vid. Thanks Ash.

[@robertirwin8533]

Really like the vid. I was already pretty much in the know with most of it, but trying to morph into a more endgame account there were definitely some tips that help me out. I wish I had seen a video like this 3 years ago when I was first starting out. Took a long time to get a handle on good/bad artifacts. Love the channel bud. Keep up the great work

[@Diezeldee]

Ash, I love this kinda content.. helps me a ton. The last week or so, your content has been spectacular.. can definitely tell a big difference, in a good way… looks like expanding the team was a smart move brother!

[@burck6113]

Thank you for doing this! I hope you'll keep doing more of these in the future. I just started a little over a month ago and i'm still trying to piece together all the different aspects, so this was super helpful

[@reed1441]

Loves this content. I feel like this area of the game can be tough to wrap your head around conceptually. Videos like this are very helpful for figuring out what to look for in artifacts. Thank you!

[@Brutal_One_65]

You're addressing the exact thing I was not understanding the best. Something else I'd like to see is a "Team Setup" vid. Show a "skill order" setup in Arena/Tag Arena/Demon Lord/Hydra etc.

[@ASH-RAID]

Thanks for the suggestions :)

[@Dharin.]

Not sure about that last choice but great vid. More like this please.

[@aizatramlan2991]

The sets that I prioritise keeping nowadays is stone skin, protection, merciless and slayer. The 2-3 piece bonus can already replace other set if you got good stats on them. Not every sets worth keeping with current state of raid. For inventory issue, we just need to have that kraken mindset for gearing so you can sell most trash gear from clogging your inventory.

[@landoncrouch4853]

Lol I'm like 4 and a half years into raid and I don't have stone skin or merciless

[@buddhaboots]

Strong work with the video. It shows that you are pushing yourself into new/helpful content like you laid out in your recent video.

[@isidrorodrigues7818]

i really have dificulty on gear and this type of videos help me a lot thank you so much i wish you do one on gear clense for me to see what type of gear i keep on my inventory iam playing for one year and iam still stuck everywere not even on unm clan boss iam a free to play and i have really good champions my problem is gearing them and use good gear on them wish you do more videos like this you are amasing ash

[@ASH-RAID]

Thanks man! I appreciate it :)

[@davidledoux1736]

I learned a ton from this one today, Ash. Really appreciate you slowing down enough to explain the reasoning behind your decisions. Thanks for throwing a little shade on your progression subscribers. 😂

[@cherrievamilla1963]

I just turned lvl 63 and I'm stuck on which artifacts to keep or sell. I have rank 5 and 6 ones but was at a loss what to sell. This video has giving me an idea what to do. Thanks Ash!

[@alidan]

4:05 I use the rank, rarity, mythical, glove, and crit rate on lethal, depending on what the pass set is, I may want to focus on helm/shield/weapon just so I can have a 4 piece set and not need to settle on many bottom row slots.

[@coreydumouchel6592]

As a mid-game player this video is amazingly helpful now that stats and sub stats are becoming a necessary thing to know. I should be able to progress much easier with this knowledge for a baseline of to-do's and not to-do's

[@alasala1687]

I absolutely need this type of content. 2.5 years playing and I still have no idea what a good amulet looks like. I’m fine with rings and banners but amulets are the accessories I just can’t get my head around

[@Runekeeper182]

Really enjoyed slower pace. Been playing 9 months. Exactly what I was looking for❤

[@SunnyGo9000]

This video was very much needed, thank you. I normally sell atk% chestplates cuz i use hp% on my nukers but now im rethinking. Also with def % chestplate/boots. Gotta be fast and have survivability and somehow nuke or find a way to protect my nuker that might be a little slow. Great vid!

[@ASH-RAID]

Thanks for watching :)

[@goatsleep6852]

interesting how you prioritise CR up with speed. makes sense when you think about - although I have always prioritised it, now its higher in my mindset. Last 8-10 months I have got a LOT harder on gear but still have way too full a mail box at times and naked champs fully built otherwise :P Oh menat to say content like this gets HUGE thumbs up for me. 4-5 year account and I still need a kick up the butt and a reminder on what to keep and what to sell :)

[@Runekeeper182]

Nice job Ash! Enjoyed the pace and content. I might be approaching mid-game but still a beginner

[@americanprophet143]

Ive been waiting for one of these videos for 2 years my worst area of the game!!! My gear storage is full and I have no idea what to keep and what to sell!

[@ASH-RAID]

Thanks for tuning in :)

[@nathanshelley6833]

perfect for what i need to see im brand new to the game and have no idea what im doing and what gear to keep all the stats/sub stats and if the numbers on the stats are always the same, people always say what stats to get but they never mention the number next to the stat weather that changes or not ive no idea i have no idea lol thanks mate

[@ASH-RAID]

Thanks for watching :)

[@ThomasYaya]

Man that was so useful. I just wish you mentioned for the beginners, how weapon, helmet and shield are always flat stats. Some viewers will be mighty confused by you keeping flat stat items without that context...

[@barbararowley6077]

I always start each gear cleanse with very strict criteria and then halfway through start easing up! But it’s such a nice feeling, to have a decent amount of space in gear storage.

[@-Heavy-]

To me a substat that starts with only 4 points is a sell.And because there are no crit rate glyphs,my decision to keep or sell a piece,goes with the rolls on crit rate.

[@johnnewman8180]

42min of Ash and useful info that is easy to understand is awesome.. Keep up good work and as always Be Happy and Safe :)

[@ASH-RAID]

Thanks John! I appreciate it :)

[@samuelchun1450]

This is so helpful. I removed many of the artifacts that were using slots. I am a bit less than an year in the time I have been playing. I am playing on a IPhone, and I wish there would be more info on progression through the game. I have many resources and a share of good champs, but not sure what to do with it all.

[@TheImperfectPlayer]

I learned about the sub-stat rolls from this, thanks for the informative video!

[@antoniogomez944]

Great video. I am guilty of keeping bad artifacts. Now I have a better idea of what to keep and get rid of.

[@Brutal_One_65]

Another good idea would be a how-to video for a solid Tag Arena Team. Keep up the great content. 🤘🏼

[@robert0ian]

dude, this is great. iv been waiting for you to do a video like this so thank you and a good job done at that.

[@ASH-RAID]

Thanks man! Glad you like it :)

[@benjaminburns6336]

Really valuable video. I keep finding I appreciate your channel more and more.

[@ArielQuirona]

Just my two cents on the mythical boots, I suggest trying to upgrade them first. If they go three or quad, then they're fine for a reroll. Since mythical artifacts were so hard to obtain, trying them out before selling them will be a better course of action than selling them right away. I hope this is useful.

[@rycs16]

I haven't even watched the whole video yet and I already want another, the most complicated part of this game is the gear, how to get it, where to get it, when to use it, who to use it on, and definitely what to keep and what to trash.

[@ASH-RAID]

Thanks for watching ;)

[@dollar_dollar_bills_2800]

Definitely will need to rewatch this but lots of good info. I wasnt understanding the gear and stats in other videos

[@ASH-RAID]

Thanks for watching ;)

[@ProfitKings29]

I only keep 5 - 6 star ledgendery or mythical . The general rule what ever the main set peace is thats what you want as a sub-stat example - any resistance armour you want a resistance sub stat

[@kodalee1495]

Love the video Ash I hope you make more like this!

[@TheCrippleddog]

This is a SUPER useful video! Now we need more

[@keithnagle8787]

would be helpful for those still in progression if you went over the other armor sets that you get from dungeons, hydra, and clan boss. So they can learn how to gear cleanse

[@11Anti11]

This is exactly the content i was looking for. Thanks Ash!

[@ASH-RAID]

Thanks for tuning in :)

[@deflectier6333]

i dont think this vid was boring. nice change of pace and casual video to enjoy

[@atlanteean]

thank you, Ash. This is really nice content for us mid-game players and for early players

[@ASH-RAID]

Thanks for tuning in ;)

[@ModernMyths]

I'm pretty much at the end game. I don't take any rares or 5 star gear anymore. I also don't even roll it up to 12. I go to lv 8. And if it gets on the stat I wanted, then I'd roll it to lv 12.

[@SaphonDamocles]

Actually appreciate this every now and then. Can you please do a similar video in watcher?!

[@Snypereye69]

Thank you Ash for the video and insight!

[@cindysimko2954]

This was a very helpful video. I was wondering if you are a mid game player, is it really a bad thing to keep a flat stat HP/DEF instead of % if the rest of the artifact has stuff you need like speed/accuracy/crit rate? Hope your day is going happy and smooth!

[@OGGlasses]

36:10 I'm surprised you didn't think of this but that helmet would be good on Armanz forsure I mean tbh the piece I have on mine rn is probably about the same

[@Kelly-du1pn]

Very informative! Thanks Ash

[@jermainepore18]

Great video, looking forward to more like it.

[@xtremeasan]

I have, easily, top 3 account. Hell maybe the best. One of the best, for sure. A couple difference betweennus and gear, I auto sell ALL lvl 5 gear. I make an exception for speed boots with great subs. And those are rare. As for level 6 epics... with speed? I'll keep them all ifnit has speed and other decent subs. A triple speed with crit and crit dmg... I'll take it. Epics are just fine and worth an 8 roll! Even at the furthest peak of this game. Btw your perception pull was amaIng hahaha.

[@SmashedChemyst]

i found this video really helpful!! thank you very much! :)

[@djmo2000]

Hello Ash. Please help me, and tell me please, when i use an artifact set, for example a 4 pieces set, like regeneration, +15% healing, do i get the bonus of +30% healing if i use 2 more regeneration artifacts ? *I mean if i would use for all 6 artifacts the regeneration artifacts ?* *Does it work as like as with the perception artifacts ?* *Please response. Thx.*

[@zachhaist6426]

No. 4 sets are 4 sets and 2 sets are 2 sets. You can equip 3 x 2 sets and 1x4 and 1x2. Or you can use 1x4 set and up to 5 pieces of protection, stoneskin, merciless, supersonic or slayer if you have the right pieces

[@djmo2000]

@@zachhaist6426 Hi, i have merciless, supersonic but only rare, blue. But slayer i do have everything of it. *i only want to know what do i get if i use 6x 4 set ? What happens if i use 6 x regeneration or livesteal or frost ?* Because i see often in Raid the message, complete your artifact collection to get a set bonus ! But i never used a complete artifact set. I never used 6 pieces of an 4x set. What does it happen, when..??

[@zachhaist6426]

You waste 2 slots if you put 6x4 set. There is no half bonuses for half a set

[@RedsoxNation07]

Love the videos, and We are the Champs! Celtics! 🎉🎉🎉

[@uescs2277]

Ash, my man I need help!! I can’t get mixwell clan boss set up correctly. How do I do it bro

Tip for newer players. Wait for Clan v Clan to forge. Lots of easy points

[@Assassin9theAxCx]

Thanks Ash, awesome sesh bro.

[@whitetrash8164]

Yeah thanx this been something i been lookin for

[@ASH-RAID]

Thanks for watching ;)

[@rogerhuggettjr.7675]

I hate cleansing mainly because I usually get frustrated and want to toss a whole category of gear so the good stuff is more flexible. I also save next to nothing with high resistance, which is foolish, but the game in it's accountant's infinite wisdom makes you work for gear, pay to change it and then makes you burn it at fire sale costs considering how much upgrades cost.

[@tigerlily0904]

Love this. Thanks Ash

[@katteractzzz]

Myyyy dude I needed this vid🤘🏼🔥

[@ASH-RAID]

Thanks for watching :)

[@calandale]

Spreading stats is painful when you're manually trying to find gear - but using the HH extractor takes a lot of that pain away. One thing I don't get is your desire for crit rate, but not crit damage as a sub-stat. I guess again, crit rate gloves can be harder to work with, but they flip the script and let you get away with different sub-stats.

[@ShiftysRevenge]

Oh, he is getting the crit damage somewhere, that is for sure. These guys have gear sets with 350% crit damage.

[@calandale]

No doubt - and he does discuss crit rate gloves later on, so is not adverse to them. It just seems like this huge focus on getting crit rate from substats rather than crit damage.

[@austin2205]

[@stephenbonaduce7852]

Ash, first I want to say that this is an excellent video; very helpful. But... "I don't think it should take that long!" 😉

[@watchtower4870]

My question is. What do you do with these artifacts with that one Random sun-stat? For example you have crit and crit damage, but you get a flat stat HP/Def/Attk/Res? I ask because you only get four sub-stats, so… I’m thinking sell it because if speed, crit, crit damage, Acc, and speed are what is king, then to me that kind of piece is not worth rolling because you already know you are gonna be lacking one of the main 4 sub-stats. I know I would keep a set if it was a % sub. But can anyone let me know if I sell those? Because I think I should, but I’m not 100%.

[@katchewy2469]

Hello Ash great, helpful video 😁😁😁

[@simonandrewplatt6752]

My champs have had decent builds from the get go on my main account my other and first account which I started 6 before the main to learn and make mistakes (still make mistakes on the main but not many ) what I find hard is there are obvious champs eg. Attack champs,what gets confusing are some say supports not as obvious some need crit some don't ,then theres hp champs artak for example what gloves hp crit rate or damage 😅😢

[@GregReid-no3bf]

Yooo ashh good content in this video really enjoyed it been playing for just under a year i have 2 accounts got alittle clan up and running would love u to take over oneif my accounts let me know ehat u think for the time iv been playing would be good to get a few laughs find out what the deal is

[@Sazabi4prez]

What to keep ? Relentless What to sell ? Everything from dungeons

[@dtours111]

Uploaded at 7:20. NHL playoffs start at 8. Will watch till the puck drops. Go oilers.

[@Aimed-YT]

Can you make a vid on djamarsa

[@cedriclee7110]

unless you're just using ores on any merciless piece with multi rolls, you should be using ores on the bottom pieces not the top ones. it's harder to get a good bottom piece so it's more important to give yourself an extra chance on those.

[@ShiftysRevenge]

If I didnt keep all this crappy gear, I'd have no gear at all. It feels like since I don't spend any money at all on RAID, they somehow know this and If I DO get a good piece of gear, it all rolls up with a single hit on each substat. I have3 played for over 2 years and don't have a single quad roll and only a hand full of triple rolls. It is to the point that I am about to quit; they just make it too hard. I'm old am am going to die before I get the kind of gear sets you guys talk about. 350+ speed with 350% crit damage and high ACC! How is that even possible?

[@love2rogue]

heres a vid idea, booked or bad. basically im sick of maxing champs to 6* with masteries, then never gearing them, because they simply arnt booked yet. maybe im making a mistake here. would be cool for you to go through some leggo champs that are good even without books

[@ASH-RAID]

Thanks for the suggestion :)

[@simonandrewplatt6752]

Any chance you can teach my how you forge gear with stats like that 😂
