I love HH content,but i feel Ash should've win.none of the other content creator make as many donations to charity as Ash.Congrats Ash,for being the content creator with the biggest 🏆❤🏆

[@jeremybowser7690]

I have to disagree. Making donation is good but does little for the community. HH gaming, the website, the gear editor, the app and all the videos. Not even close. Ash is very cool though.

[@jeremybowser7690]

@@cliftonholmes5208 you're entitled to you opinion and I agree Ash seems like a great guy that's just not what were talking about here. Charitable contributions are tax write-offs and part of the business model. None of that helps the Raid community, whereas the things HH has done have direct impact on everyone. Most ppl rely on HH gaming for builds, strategies, news, reviews and tools at this point. It was really a no-brainer that he was goona win. Keep supporting Ash though, I enjoy his videos.

Real talk about Archmage Hellmut…. Pair with coldheart and a crit rate aura, and you can legit build nukeing cold hearts with around 25% crit rate, making those 300%+ crit damage numbers very doable for even mid game players!

Missing Whisper and Madam Serris is a crime

His last few videos have this problem.

[@deezydeuce]

Yeah, time for gear replacement.

[@stephenbonaduce7852]

I've heard his on a couple of Ash's videos, now. I get this problem myself when the jack on my headphones isn't in right--or is wearing out. I wonder if Ash needs to replace some equipment...

[@Goliath_mindset]

Thanks. I seriously thought I needed a new headset

[@ChefAtPlay]

Congrats on most watched video Ash! I personally think you deserved the win. Thank you for always being a voice of positivity and especially aĺl that you give to charities. I know it means very little from internet strangers, but you come across as a fantastic human in general. Now, niceties out the way, I'm big mad you didn't give some love to my boy Giscard the Sigiled. He's an absolutely beastly nuker that a lot of people don't suspect, super tanky, has a fantastic AoE 60% DEF + 50% ATK increase, not to mention his passive's insane synergy and the possibilities it opens up. I have him in relentless/perception with bloodshield ring, revenge amulet and acc banner. This lad absolutely pummels UDK's and frequently one shots entire enemy teams in arena live/classic/ tag

[@Saus3657]

Akemtum feels like a snub, I'd probably take him over Morag but I see your reasoning. Ally attack is super strong

[@shinyori]

Akemthum is great. Try him in 4 piece slayer + stun set and just enjoy the show. All the poison ticks have a chance to trigger the stun also.

[@ShooterMcGavin__]

11:50 you have the best RSL cc editor in the game😂

[@badmonkey1686]

Congrats on the community choice most watched brother, you deserve it. Gave you and BPD a shout with your last collaboration on his channel too! Great video, I'm only missing a few epics you mentioned, and we are in agreement. Thanks for all the work you put it. Till next time homie

[@thepsychomagus]

Magnarr is one of my favorite Epics in the game too. I wish Plarium would make a Magnarr avatar that was easy to get. Maybe put him in as a new avatar for completing Doom Tower in a new rotation of avatars for completing it.

[@Deosis]

I'm happy to say I have all of these champs except Seer, Demytha, Godseeker and Deacon. Which also means I'm sad I haven't pulled them yet, especially Seer would make my life way easier. Thanks for pointing out Dirandil all the time, I got a 6* blessing for him so I'll build him to see how hard he hits with Crushing Rend 😆 Congrats on most watched video! Don't even think I saw that being and option so I might have missed a bunch of votes, though I voted for you getting the best CC award. Always enjoy watching your vids, keep jo the great work!

So you have them all except the really good ones.

[@Deosis]

@@anonamatron 😭😂

[@anonamatron]

@@Deosis Well, how long have you played? I have essentially all epics except very newly added ones, and one I need for that free Mythical of course. You'll get them all eventually.

[@Deosis]

@@anonamatron I know, but from listening to other people's stories it can really take long to get certain champs. I've been laying close to 2 years now.

[@anonamatron]

@@Deosis Yeah, it took me absolutely forever to get Madame Serris and Royal Guard. Royal Guard was my only missing non-void epic for so long... of course now I pull dupes of him left and right.

[@anonamatron]

Hmmm, I used Stag Knight for so long, but switched to Dhukk the Pierced when i got him. Got Stag Knight back from when they did the original good Battle Pass.

[@reaux_tha_boat]

Great video. I was actually looking to rank up one of my epics to 6. Wonderful timing!

[@Freelance300]

Ash great video but I got a question. Been using Geo was my burn in clan boss but last night I got Brogni, and for Clan boss which one should I go with?

[@cliftonholmes5208]

Geo,he faster.

[@mocafrost]

Great video. Thank you. I've pulled so many good epics lately. Curse and blessing. This helps a lot.

[@PeteGil-f1v]

Love your videos Ash- I just got done watching an old vid on must build epics...in there-and sometimes in your vids, you state that you would build champion 'Y" but only if you didn't have champion "X" Have you ever done a video solely based on ability/roles where you take each one and tiered champions accordingly to their specialties from maybe optimal champion with said ability/role and gone down each tree to say this is who you build instead for that particular purpose on down to acceptable substitutions...to maybe sub-optimal champions if you are hard pressed for that particular need?

[@shaynegoodison]

You so deserve more accolades than what you get. Another awesome video. Keep up the amazing work and thank you. BTW, no ties ya big meanie :P ( Skeauramus and Masoleum Mage) !! What would Scyl think LOL. Great work as always Ash, much love back at ya!

[@BiJules72]

Congrats, Ash on the Milestone Awards. I love your vids. Could you do a guide on the Snickers, oops, I mean Sniktraak some day?

[@fixingitrightish]

Had been sitting on a 5 star blessing for Aniri for months, and then I pulled her. She quickly became my top used epic, usually along side Geomancer

[@marioharris5944]

I think this is my fav video in a long time if not ever. Mostly because I can actually connect with this one. It's pretty sad but after a year in I finally have some - 8 - of the champs on this list. Of the top 5 I only have Uugo so that should give you some idea of my luck. Good thing I enjoy the grind 😅

[@serdarovezgulyyev454]

Is it better to pop Sacred shards on progressive chance event or x2?

[@adamcarr758]

I know you mentioned him (twice) but as an end game player, Shamael had to make the list! I regret feeding my dupes as I'd like a second. Arguably the best epic in the game for Hydra.

[@angelhernandez3079]

My geo keeps dying vix well keeps taking his shield an replacing it do I just use vix shield an then cancel it?

[@gabefranklin7024]

I’ve got 2 husks, should I 60 both of them or empower one of them once epic empowerment comes out?

[@Cide21]

Toujours heureux de voir une de tes vidéo. Garde cette bonne énergie et le contenue de tes vidéo aussi ! Salutation de la part du Québec :)

[@AlmostInfamousDK]

Fenax should absolutely be on this list! His A1 hits like a truck and is the only A1 IN THE GAME (besides Inithwe & when Vlad/Konstatin combo) that blocks revive. I use him in arena vs SWK teams and many other teams also. He's a menace with Armanz & ally attack champs. Not to mention he has an aoe block buffs/active skills. Definitely a snub on an otherwise great list. (Well...I'd but Ursala on there too. I pulled her very early and she's still IMO the best epic reviver. Plus the Strengthen/Increase Def. Just recently pulled a 6 star blessing for her as well.)

[@stephenbonaduce7852]

For once... I have MOST of these Champs on your list!! Thanks, Ash: you just gave me a bunch of options to choose from as I develop my Champions.

[@Diezeldee]

Great clip Ash!… only champ I’m missing from any you mentioned is Seer… 18 months into the game… hopefully or day

[@meg66]

Question about Tagaor. I just got him. Something I've wondered when looking at booking skills and it says I'm the skill "heals for 15% of this champions max HP" then in the books it says +10% heal... Is that now a 25% of their max HP or is it (10% of their HP)*1.1 for 10% increase of that base heal?

[@petrnekola8530]

Idk if you still need the answer, but books, both damage and heals, add % value to the % of said heal or damage. So with Tagoar, it's 15+2x1.5 =18% heal. If it was otherwise, some skills, like Demytha's A1 would break the game

[@GlennWise-ck6gu]

Im absolutely card carrying for tagoar i pulled him right after you made a video talking about him way back and I was like man I want that now and then I got him and he is the berrys!

[@trevorcrerar693]

Hey Ash. I love your ranking videos and it helps me plan my next 6star selection. Here is a plan for a great video. If you could start the game with all the champions from one faction, which faction would you choose and why?

[@Mx_2022]

Thanks for the great information. Also really like the shirt.

[@-.-Monster]

heeeey i actually have 6 of these. and they're the 6 i knew they'd be xD (godseeker, deacon, husk, archmage, doompriest, morag) and all of your honorable mentions :D :D i normally only have the champs on your 'worst champs' lists

[@otrovakruf]

Great vid! What is wrong with your mic? You have some feed back coming through there Ash.

[@overlordgaming6322]

You should cover rare champion hellfreak from demonspawn he has a unique ability that can be really helpful and im sure that you can sauce it for a juicy video

[@JustinGrigor]

Astralith also has it, but I loved hellfreak in silver arena

[@Fringetastic]

I started when UDK was the logon champion and Hellfreak was the champ that gave me any chance to deal with him in arena. I haven't used him much lately though.

[@Harden-o6t]

My first epic was Kaiden then Seer, followed by uugo, high katun in there somewhere, spider, Doompriest, Maneater, alure and fenax. I lucked up with Half the list in my first 6 months. Still learning how to properly use them lol

[@evanbrown1613]

Tagoar should have been top 5! 🤣 love the content mate!

[@bobloblaw3415]

I love Skeuramis. I'd kill for a lego version with 100% on the A2. After that, among the many other standouts in this list I'll shout out Doompriest. I use her in my hard hydra team. When paired with a block debuffs champ she's super effective at countering Torment. A nice budget option for those of us without tons of Shamaels, Tuhanaraks or perfect veil champs.

[@seanbaker4834]

That's a dope shirt. Also, how about the epic empowerment coming!

[@kamihaap]

Hey Ash…. Is there a Good reason to max out a dupe or geomancer ?

[@nash5538]

other than having one for each hydra teams, I wouldn't max a dupe geo. It'd probably be better to use him as faction guardians or for epic empowerment coming soon

[@kentendo2672]

I'm still building my roster of champions but I pulled Mausoleum Mage early and he's been one of the champions I use the most, such a good champion

[@Saus3657]

No Whisper?!?! I'm telling Saph!!! 😂😂

[@cliftonholmes5208]

Yeah,I'm a little shocked on that one.i pulled Whisper,built her just like HH guide,& damn 😳.she's my champion,but I feel bad seeing the damage she brings.

[@DimLed1980-vt2mm]

she's only one of the top damage dealers in Hydra - IN THE GAME, not just among epics

[@xeno1121]

Whisper is a top 10 epic. She does not get a fair shake accept from Saph. She’s awesome in doom tower, cursed city. Faction wars and hydra. She turns the tide in any fight. She hits so damn hard.

[@chadlaflamme7942]

Top 10 might be a bit of a stretch, could see top 20 though.

[@Salvamad]

Hey Ash--immy shimmy Ya 🎶.. maybe you could do a video on the epics that you would instantly empower versus the ones you would save second or third copies of.. .. Ya know before people go epic killer, norman bates! That should be a slippery slope type of video: My producer slam, my flow is like "Bam" 🧠👄💅

[@anonamatron]

Don't quit your day job, kid.

[@rafasv84]

Thanks for the video Ash. Great content as always!

[@RicoLen1]

We all have our favorites, some of mine not listed aside from nukers like Genbo and Magnarr, Skullcrown and Sinesha, are Achak the Wenderan, Toragi the Frog, Madame Serris, Urogrim, & Skullcrusher. Out of the entire list the only one I'd actually argue (because to each his own right?) is that I would say Madame Serris is better than Stag Knight and should replace him. The aoe fear when she steals buffs on an aoe, the self-shield on the A1 is quite useful, especially against Scarab, and the fact that she can strip all buffs then apply decrease defense and decrease attack without messing with CC. She's just better IMO. That said, I've heard the arguments that Stag Knight is better for PVE and Serris is better for PVP and I grudgingly would agree to that, but I think Serris is better for PVE than Stag Knight is for PVP. Other than that little caveat This list makes perfect sense to me. Maybe I'd argue for putting Urogrim on the listen somewhere, but I don't know instead of whom. I use Urogrim a LOT, and a lot more than a good number of the epics on this list. Pretty much only Aniri and Geomancer do I use more than Urogrim.

[@TooScentz]

Serris is a great debuffer for hydra

[@anonamatron]

I haven't really ever used Urine Grin but I have him and hes one I always think i should get up and running properly.

[@NotSoWholesome]

Here I am thinking the champions I have aren’t good enough and I have about 80% of the champions on this list. Thanks for opening my eyes Ash!

[@BathrobeKeck]

Awhile back you did a build video hyping up Tagoar, without the vid I'd have completely slept on him, since building him for speed and hp, he's my best support/reviver by far.

[@DanielMcAteer]

Sending some love and good vibes back to you Ash.

[@Jamesnpk]

I'm part of the tagor club, even though I fed him when I started. He hard carried me to complete faction wars when I pulled him last fusion

[@TheGreatPretender76]

Glad someone finally put Daithi in their top 20, first Sylvan Watcher I pulled and helped me progress a lot.

[@rowdybishop5755]

Nice shirt! Great vid 💪🏻💪🏻

[@snapperface12345]

Dark kael imo, is top 7 in my book. Hes pretty damn powerful and he wreecks Dragon plus brings a decent damage threshold to clan boss if you cant get Geo. Even though i have 5 geos, 3 maxed out for clan and such, i still see the forums and comments saying people can't get him. Dark kael in poison gear with Vizier and high 250+ speed is unreal.

[@JamesLakin-lk6fj]

I remember when miscreated monster was the og lego level epic

[@lauranicusarcanum3065]

Demytha and Dark Kael I have leveled up. But I never found a use case for them. Skullcrown and Sinesha, on the other hand, I am using almost every day. So I would put those two on the list instead.

[@ibnjones6605]

What would you say the Best Epic Champs on healing

[@ante8913]

Watching your video,i just realized,that from low number of champions i have and collected,from all of these that you show us the only champion i dont have is demytha 😂😂😂 holy crap.

[@JCVantage1]

The only thing I disagree the most is Shamael off the list. He solves one of the Hydra heads by himself, especially if you have Seeker that high. To answer the typical question who you take out, maybe Dahuti, he's not that unique, he's a cool damage dealer you can go without ever upgrading

[@pkutube3884]

I guessed your #1 correctly last minute. I will not spoil number one but Madam Serris was almost the guess but how come she wasn't on the top 20? LOL She has been a Beast lately from my account not just in arena but in Doom tower, she ends up soloing several secret rooms 😂

[@chadlaflamme7942]

Didn't use Seeker on my account for CB, so I never really used him. I must have underestimated hom as a whole though for you to have him so high up.

[@aledstovold3906]

You should make a video like this but with champs that empowerment would make a big difference to, For example Geo would gain a lot less from impowerment compared to say a Whisper or a Fenax

[@Demancer2]

Morag's value went up for being able to get through Freya's shields.

[@m4gn0t7a]

20:32 oooofff

[@F0rtysxity]

Mausoleum Mage and Sanguinia are very similar in value. You should definitely build one or the other when progressing. Not sure why MM is #10 and Sanguinia is not even on the list. ALSO Rector Drath for use in Killable Clan Boss teams and Hydra teams makes her one of the better epics. She should be ahead of Tagoar, Dark Kael, Archmage Helmuth, Mistridar, and Morag.

[@arieljoseph008]

I love morag. It made my UNM damage from 3 key to 2 key.

[@a_happy_cheeseburger236]

I have some of these epics and they definitely were not hitting hard. I guess for me of a champion isnt strong at lvl 50 with out masteries or books i didnt waste resources on them. And so many champions you mentioned did not hit hard for me. So as free to play player i kever developed them. So maybe ill go back and try them out again

[@TheHeadown]

I´ve got to go with Demytha too over Maneater due to her insanely good healing capabilities.

[@chillones9574]

Ash your videos are awesome great, thanks, keep up the hard work.

[@patrickroethler7184]

Luv ya ASH before I see ur first champ my shout out to my fav Madam Serris!! She better be one best!!

[@prosauce]

I'm also a huge fan of Tagoar. I think it's mainly because I have had a 5* soul on him since i got him

[@brettestabrooks5219]

I’d have put Shamael in over a few of those akemtum too both are really unique Lifesteal akemtum is crazy good

[@Lustra58]

What is the hidden areas and why aren't they open yet after all this time?

[@klikram9095]
