finally we getting down to the champs that I own! Awesome !

[@yojlik]

ikr?!? can't wait for Ash's build videos!

[@CS-zn6pp]

Yes, got them all too 🤣

[@edjames8706]

Yeah would have been nice to know before I upgraded everyone that he has in the top 20 I upgrade a week 10 of them to champion It would have been nice to know I don't upgrade anything with only three I only upgrade the four circles anything with three circles I never upgrade fucking game You never know what to do and when you do do it 90% of the time you're wrong anybody get anything good I got absolutely nothing compared to this guy what he's saying but I did get the shark that does shit so far let's see what he does once I thought you was no more

[@alihead7809]

Oooof

[@youdontknowme8129]

As a new Raid player, here's my problem with this vid. This is a random gacha game. Unless you're rich, you can't afford to get "the best" in the game. And again random champions. I'll use what I get and try to work with them.

[@bragnir]

For Relic Keeper, you have to remember that he's the first fusion in the game. First, as in progression. He hits relatively hard when you first get him, doesn't allow the enemy to get turns in while he heals and buffs up, and his force affinity makes him a great help to your starter in pushing through higher difficulties in the campaign. Of course, he gets outscaled pretty hard, which is what's causing you to dislike his performance here- but, you have to remember: for accounts that are still progressing, who don't yet have reliable damage vs all affinities, he gives a very solid option.

[@Sodamachine62]

Your starter champ is 5xs better than relic keeper. He's major trash no matter when/where you get him

[@manosskar2310]

Even if u dont use your starter, use Saurus. A1 aoe smak. A legendary Uncommon campaign farmer.

[@xxCatsAndDragonsxx]

It's funny how many of the worst champions are the most annoying when they're mobs.

[@buckygormley7741]

You mean specifically terrorbeast

[@xxCatsAndDragonsxx]

​@@buckygormley7741 Lmao. I was thinking Bushi, Hexia and Warden.

[@salsamaster1245]

Balthus returning damage hurts my nukers early on was I back at lvl 50 in doom tower now I don't even really notice it

[@vanillagorrilla]

He’s not thinking of defensive champs he’s thinking just about damage

[@coleballenger4595]

​@@xxCatsAndDragonsxx Yeah, the reflect damage buff being amazing when the enemy has it only to become literally nothing when you have it is a bit of a meme.

[@dawsonsumey7815]

I will say for Relic Keeper, he was huge for my start on Raid. I didn’t pick the best starter, and thus had an inefficient “nuker” arena team. Relic Keeper was able to fill the void and pop them off one at a time. For Spider wave 19 (force affinity) I had only a Magic team. Relic Keeper was able to get me past the run by killing spiderlings one after another, so they couldn’t kill my coldheart. Sure I’ve came a long way since then, and have fed that Relic Keeper but I believe his rankings are so high since everyone is forced to get him through Challenges, and he was my Ace for early-early mid game.

[@danielunderwood5217]

Ash, no matter how many people disagree with champs on these lists, you are an AWESOME content creator. you don't need to apologize for having a different opinion of these champs than some of the commenters.

[@WutTheDeuceGaming]

He missed the important part of certain provokes he bashed. Bergoth and Balthus' provokes are on for two turns. 24:22 the damage doesn't increase as Ripper's HP decreases, it's the TARGET'S HP decreasing that increases the damage.

[@CampbellD]

Much love Ash. Appreciate the consistent content and positive energy 🙏🏾

[@ASH-RAID]

Thanks for watching, Campbell!

[@windspast]

"Pi is exactly FOUR!" Now that I have your attention, Relic Keeper's only function is to give 250 champion chase points when you fuse him

[@friendlygiant2314]

Relic Keeper is amazing when you first start the game and haven't pulled anything good yet, but yeah, after that there are a ton of amazing champions. Early game though, he smacks hard and helps 3 star campaigns

[@edwardmcgarthwaite7771]

This is your brain starting with Galek. Don't do Galek

[@dmariots]

In early game has atk up on himself making him out damage kael

[@t-778]

galek is the best of the starters, to be honest.

[@nash5538]

@@t-778 hell nah 😭

[@dylanmcgregor6496]

I think a lot of the popularity for Relic is that as FTP player you can get him rather early and in the lower and mid-game he's rather helpful (IMO). I absolutely stomp with Delver, maybe it's because I did her masteries early on.

[@BigDictator5335]

Delver is good. I don't know why she's in this video.

[@amichay55]

Some of the champions you mentioned only exist to be waves on the way to the boss in the dungeon and in this case reflect damage definitely does the job especially when they have a lot of hp and you come with AOE attacks. And I really like relickeeper, it's very fun to play with him, especially in doom tower and faction wars

[@dahammie8]

Bergoth helped me in FW 21 bc of the Valk wave. I didn't have rector for healing at that time. But I honestly thought Lordly Legionary was going to be #1. Shocked he didn't even make the list, also Marksman not making the list is shocking, too.

[@Brian-WolfmanJack99]

Those two were probably 21 and 22 on Ash's list ;)

[@jonsnow7092]

In a faction that only has 3 revivers, one being conditional, only one of them an epic and and all 3 of them voids, healing becomes massively important in faction wars. Lordly+Valerie, together with Lifesteal and Regen, is the only F2P way that can get you to 3 star Banner Lords, unless you luck out and end up pulling one of the very few amazing healers/revivers in that faction. He also has a decrease speed and decrease TM that are very handy against FW bosses. Lordly is not an awful champ, he just has limited use, pretty much only useful in FW and early FK.

[@dahammie8]

@@jonsnow7092 im f2p and if i remember correctly my team was cillian, stag, archmage, giscard and warchaster.

[@jonsnow7092]

@@dahammie8 well, Cillian is like Uber God tier in this faction given that he has an 100% 2 turn stun on a 3 turn cooldown, decrease speed, lots of TM control and other jazz with his passive. Even his A2 is amazing for the waves. He can probably 3 star the boss all by himself with some random rares or uncommons. Stag, Archmage and Giscard are also pretty OP in FW and Warcaster has unkillable, which ensures the 3 stars.

[@jonsnow7092]

​@@dahammie8 try beating the boss with some random epics and rares that are mediocre at best, while also not getting them to 6 stars or booking them. for that, you need stuns and heals. Archmage is amazing but he can't consistently stun the rowan add by himself and unless you have the patience to run the fight until you luck out, you need another stunner. you also need decrease attack for the boss and ideally def down. having stag is great but if you don't, the limited available spots need to be filled with champs that do that consistent enough. you also need a damage dealer like Gerhard. that's where Valerie+Lordly comes into play, not only that together they bring plenty of the much needed healing but they also serve other roles. Valerie extends buffs like increase defense and other jazz, and Lordly comes in with speed down for the boss as well as some TM control. On top of that, Lordly also comes in clutch as a second damage dealer, allowing you to finish the fight faster thus, decreasing the chances of the run ending by missing the stun on the Rowan add.

[@kal2489]

Bergoth actually got me through KR FW. He doesn't compare on power to other epic provokers, but KR have very little control below legendary and a 2t provoke against the triple Valk wave plus damage mitigation for that particular boss is a niche but special place for him

[@Eli-uu4vt]

Miscreated Monster can give you much better value with his AoE stun+Shield. The shield can be pretty beefy too if you build him right.

[@kal2489]

@@Eli-uu4vt he absolutely can, but that's two epics in the faction Vs one of the hardest waves in the game. And while MM is good for that, his ally protection isn't good for the boss because he just steals it, so all he does for 21 is stun. Bergoth is just as good for the waves and a lot better for the boss.

[@Eli-uu4vt]

@@kal2489 That's why I manual stage 21 unless I have a boss champ that does, literally, everything (such as, sayyyyy Relentless Scyl. Or Arbiter.)

[@Hepburner]

Love these vids, Ash. How about you put together a guide to Epics you would ONLY max out for Faction Wars? As in, they're useless almost everywhere else but if you get one and have a space, then build them for your FW team and then forget about them! I think that would help a lot of folks!

[@midnightqueen3332]

I would love to see a FW's Series, perhaps in a breakdown way, like one vid for each, covering best Lego- Epic- Rare- Uncommon

[@peterstevenson9472]

Have to disagree with Reignbeast. He was necessary for me to finish SW FW when I didn't have the damage and Plarium refused to release SW fusions. The hippo needed him for me to be able to manual it. Now the pig and the rat auto it so he's been retired. Fond memories of Terrorbeast when I beat FK 13 for the first time. Need to feed him as I've had him in my vault at 50 for ages.

[@SinRayquaza]

If Hexia loves debuffs, she should have a passive that ignores the effects of the status decreasing ones(so she can still be CC'd) so she can do what her kit intended to do. Also I'm glad only 1 Shadowkin got mentioned but I'm surprised Umetogi didn't make your list cuz she has quite an outdated selfish kit. I'm also glad my girl Chonoro didn't get flak 😜 as a shadowkin loyalist I thank you

[@Ohilipp]

Yo Ash! You are easily one of my favorite content creaters across ALL genres that i watch already for the best "energy" of all and the genuine wholesomeness of your channel! So im a bit sad when i hear or read people being unnecessarily critical for irrelevant stuff. But on top of that you also dish out great content and presented in an enjoyable manner. So...much love and all the best to you and a big kudos for your character and your work!

[@VielofDarkness]

Ok, from a New Person's Perspective, who didn't spend a dime for like 2 years, Relickeeper was my main man for Campaign, and yes, Arena... Hell I used him everywhere. In a Lifesteal set, Crit Rate up, Attack%, this guy can smack, and was pretty tanky to carry me for so long into the upper levels. Sure, he may not be end game viable, but I don't understand a No. 1 Slot, and so much hate on him Ash, Relickeeper definitely doesn't deserve it... I don't even think he belongs anywhere on this list. Relickeeper is was kept me in this game, albeit casually for so long, before I started getting into this game more. I’m not hating on you Ash, love your content, but I think that pick is from a lack of perspective.

[@DenSluge]

I seriously don't understand your hatred towards Maeve. Her "And Stay Down" ability has a 7.15 miltiplier. Huge damage and blocks revives. She kills in the arena, at least early game. I have her fully booked with savage + speed set. I admit I do not know how she compares to a pay to win late game team full of epics etc, but I was really happy that I pulled her and gave her all the love that I did, because at least in my opinion, I got a lot of use out of her. That being said, what I would change with her is to make her A1 either guaranteed sleep with a chance of extra turn, or keep her sleep as is, but if it lands she automatically get a second turn (and possibly a 3rd and a 4th and so on and so forth.) Then I would make har A2 into AoE with a guaranteed chance to land a stun if the target is asleep for 1 turn, and if the target is not asleep, make it a 60% chance to stun. This would add a more interesting setting for Maeve where she would be able to put enemies to sleep, possibly get another turn, then you can either move on and try to sleep another enemy, or keep chipping away at the first target trying to sleep it and farm more turns and then go in for the "And Stay Down" which could use a ignore shield, and take the enemy down. When I use her in doom tower, I try to sleep as many as I can the first turn and focus damage on one mob. Maeve is, to me, basically a very good control champion, even as she is right now with a very high damage.

[@RED.H4WK]

No matter how many more buffs they her and until they rename her, my definite worst Epic is Frostbringer!

[@ulfkoehler9730]

Maybe another buff will give ger Freeze finally... ;)

[@argantyr5154]

@@ulfkoehler9730 No, NO and No there is absolutely 0 reasons to confuse people with giving games and abilities that match

[@RED.H4WK]

@Argantyr other than Cirilla stated they make the skills match the name and looks.

[@EmberScribe]

Respectfully, I must disagree with you on the Epic Champion Bushi. He has become a mainstay in just about every dungeon (Iron Twins and Sand Devil Necropolis kick my butt every time). I have him equipped with Relentless set, and when paired with Ronda, they become the dynamic duo, with Extra Turn (set bonus) and In Your Corner (Passive) working in tandem (I had 3 Extra Turns with Bushi and Ronda's passive activated on each Extra Turn, best round I had in a Stage 10 dungeon and Clan Boss). He does require some investment to be tougher, and with his Revive passive, it is worth it. Just now realized that this video was posted a month ago. Side note, I enjoy your videos! They are helpful in equipping champions to their full potential. Keep up the good work!

[@paghDaemon]

I like Delver, she helped me in the Spirit keep with the 100% heal reduction skill when I didn't really have other (reliable?) champ for this. And if you can get her very early, she is a decent nuker too besides your starter champ.

[@solarscreams2447]

Balthus with that 2 turn provoke and selfless defender mastery is great for hydra

[@scottpeg194]

I can see use for Hexia, she's what I call a "Consequence" or "Punisher" champion. It makes consequences for relying on debuffs.

[@sgttoxiiczz]

I can see the next video already - "I was wrong!" Delver REEEEEEE 😂

[@thegreathammer]

well i have a soft spot for Jurojin. he was one of my first 3 epics and used him at the end of fw for shadowkin. he's not garbage to me, he is part of my legacy. lol

[@addamcarroll1730]

Same here he was one of my 1st epics and since he ignored unkillable buff and I kept getting beat by maneater teams in the game he definitely helped me with beating me teams and any other champions that have unkillable buffs plus he's always one of my final champion left to raise the victory sword

[@hashcash1826]

I love your videos and I 100% agree with your choice Bushi! In two factions I left the battle on auto and saw later, that it reached 45 minutes because Bushi was unkillable and I had turn meter reduction over and over again and no one to remove buffs... But otherwise - some champions are the first ever pulled with a certain ability and therefore worth their salt...

[@TheTransforcer]

Had the same thing happen with demon spawn fw when allure went against skull crusher. He gets unkillable and she removes all tm. I’ve had to restart so many battles.

[@taklampan650]

Ash, I'm with you on most of these. But you are so wrong on Bonekeeper. She literally has some of the highest single target damage in the game! Check Hell Hades if you don't believe me.

[@JaysonBailey]

Yep, she can do a LOT of dmg.

[@devin4648]

Relickeeper definitely helped me when i was first starting the game. I was basically stuck in hard/brutal until i got him and valla. I think its definitely the beginners-mid game players who dont have or didnt have major dps champs for clearing

[@antikvit]

I believe Reinbeast being used in couple of the secret rooms of hard doom (defense force afinity) tower as a healer/reviver (in pure "defense" Scyl of the Drakes might subsitute him): > Rotation 1: Secret Room 7 - Skinwalkers > Rotation 1: Secret Room 3 - Defense Champions > Rotation 2: Secret Room 6 - Defense Champions > Rotation 2: Secret Room 8 - Epic Defense Champions > Rotation 3: Secret Room 5 - Defense Champions > Rotation 3: Secret Room 5 - Force Defense Champions

[@PalefaceVillager]

Thanks, I'm starting to get quite a few unfamiliar epics, and was thinking I should probably feed some to make space, so I followed through the video marking all these as potential food. I use the "Support Build" champion tag to mark food.

[@alexandermcfarlane7609]

POV: these are the champions you keep pulling

[@SephBane]

I use relickeeper as a campaign farmer until I have my eqp for fellhound. Farming 12-6 works a lot better and I get around 21 sec. I also use him in arena with ronda as leader and venus going first. He can hit around 100k between the attack up, aura, and venus debuffs. As long as I go first I almost always win, but avoid champs I know I can't one shot. Live arena he works good because no one ever bans him and I use the same strat.

[@EntityXXR]

Omfg you cracked me up with that “just throw a video of yourself, doing anything, on the internet “ omfg 😂😂😂

[@MirinkaiserVODs]

As a new player, I face the occasional Relickeeper in tag arena and they are often troublesome because early game accounts primarly have worked on their starter and maybe Ronda for some of us, all of which are magic.

[@Fledermausmann]

Aight, I'm just starting this video and already loving it, my man. I've not been too lucky with legendaries on my account and, as such, have a ton of epics. I've always wanted to know which ones I should just sacrifice to my second Geo and Fenax to bring them to 60 but, well, the one I chose ended up being Morag who I now really really need for Faction Wars, lol. Shoulda checked with the community first! Will edit in more comments once I finish actually watching the vid, haha. Edit: yeah... so, I have all these champions with the exceptions of reindeer dude and Zii Ixchi, and yeah, I've been trying to make them work in faction wars at the minimum... Most of them are just carried by someone else but some of them are just amazingly straight up absolutely useless. Frankly, I'd put Yaga at No. 1 because well, at least a few of these guys at least have an AOE but Yaga is... probably unsalvageable. I was thinking of filling my faction guardians with some of these since I think I have 2x Hexias, 3x Sikara's, 2x yagas etc but I'm really tempted to just get them all to 5 stars and sacrifice them...

[@paulx7620]

I use a naked Bushi as a low power speed lead to duo with rotos. But that's only for the quest beat a team with higher power in the arena. Bushi will pop back up and potentially take 2 hits with the 24% speed lead. I hate the quest but that's my go to.

[@manynukes11]

I'm surprised Maeve didn't make the list considering HH rates her as the absolute worst epic (and she was my 1st pull from a Sacred shard yay). I'd put her over Relickeeper but I don't think he's even close to worst compared to other champs.

[@thomasstadler3279]

Agreed, RK does not deserve to be rated worst champ. Me personally I wouldn't even put him on this list

[@YasielFonseca-sr5tb]

I don't know guys, I think he rated them for their use, and to be honest there are way more better nukers and campaign farmers i guess, based in his trusty opinion.

[@thomasstadler3279]

For when you eventually go after RK, dude is a one-trick pony but damn is he good at that trick. I have actually built one for live arena recently and you'd be surprised how many matches I win because he can just wipe the entire enemy team.

[@CriticalThinkTank]

It may be me but I noticed the Champions that have an arrow don't have the string for their weapon while the one that has a string on the cross bow has no bolt. Seems like both are missing a vital piece.

[@meaninglessbanter]

always great content. *however*, Jurojin is worth taking to 50 to counter paragon troll teams in arena if you don't have rotos.

[@iainsmith1088]

Warden was my very 1st sacred pull. Set me back about 6 months

[@jshtng78]

Do you want Hellgazer to be buffed? Remember who Mortu's harem consists of in Campaign 12... Terrorbeast needing a buff? Remember the big problem in normal Ice Golem? If a player is unlucky enough to pull so many Yagas that he can be maxed skilled before getting a poisoner other than Outlaw Monk and Kael, I think there's a case to just use the cow anyway. A little bit of context to Relickeeper: He was put into the game at a time when Summoners War had a ton of hype about a unit with a similar property of gaining a turn after killing an enemy because it was the meta campaign farmer. That was probably the oldest campaign farming meta in all of gacha games so obviously Plarium thought that Raid players would be all over that too.

[@thespeedytornado6233]

7:34 i mean the provoke is 2 turns which only 1 other epic champion has and barely any legendaries

[@knightfishing]

Umbrall has it on an aoe though for 2 turns, and then goes unkillable

[@RoomiestChalice]

Relic keeper is really good for progressing campaign alot of people my self included got relic keeper for free at somepoint. Also he can one tap stage 20 mobs in faction wars if I'm not mistaken. No decrease defense*

[@deezydeuce]

I Summoned Bergoth a long time ago, I actually use him in Faction Crypts and the PvE Arenas. Though, I do agree that either the Cooldown on Chem' Stench needs to be reduced, and/or the % to land increased. He hits hard for an Epic HP Champ' though!

[@andersonfamilysurvival4743]

Kinda sad to see Delver.. she's a big part of my new account I'm running, as she was one of my first pulls. Haven't put too much into her, working well in early game for the most part, but I'm like Sgt Shultz, I know nothink. The team is Tallia, Ronda, Kael, Delver and usually Painkeeper. (Working on Kael and Painkeeper mostly, but ascending Ronda is also important) day 6, here we go! Good videos as always, Ash. Personal note, love the "toasty" soundbit!!

[@BlackTrainXIII]

I come for the information but stay for the self deprecating humor and humbleness. Love the vids Ash ❤

[@Entr0per]

I feel personally attacked Relic Keeper is my main guy. I haven't played in a long time and came back because i found your videos 2 years ago this dude helped me in arena and campaign so damn much and to come here and see he's the worst... breaks the heart i dont have Buff my boi RK

[@MongooseJakeNerf]

He's actually pretty good for a few reasons, I feel like Ash is just baiting on that take especially. RK is great for FTP, early to mid game, and always pretty good for campaign, faction wars, and solid in a couple of other places.

[@edwardmcgarthwaite7771]

Also solid food

[@user-er9ls4ec5v]

Thanks, Ash! Your videos always helps a ton and has certainly helped me to progress in-game. Would you consider doing a video on Faction Guardians? Looking all over for some info on it (sorry if you already made a video about it).

Relic keeper was my campaign farmer back in the day. He was the only champion That I could get to solo brutal 12-3.

[@danmartinoii9690]

As always, thoroughly enjoyed the video. Totally agree on Relickeeper, but have to say I used him quite a bit early on as I pulled him as one of my first epics.

[@calandale]

I'm thinking about a Hexia/Gurptuk combo - but yeah, she probably needs better gear than I can manage anytime soon. Adriel was really important to my early account, but I need to bite the bullet and feed her soon. I put a lot of books into her, and she was my speed lead - because everything was mostly blue.

[@Dharin.]

Always keep a copy of every epic/legendary champ. You never know when they will get a buff and become meta again.

[@Raizer25]

Flipping us off @~9:00 in the vid.. lmao Unintentional I'm sure, but gave me a chuckle.

[@toddchristiansen1441]

Want a tip to help with Pi memorization? I'm not sure how many digits there are in the song, but the band Ninja Sex Party(they rule, trust me) has a song called "Do Math With U," which is a great tune in and of itself, but the end of the song has the singer just rattling off Pi to the melody of the song. That, in my life and career in science, has always been how I've memorized things. It's easier to remember lyrics to a song than it is to remember a rote series of numbers.

[@michaeledes1111]

Funny thing about Bushi lol. I used to run the old Skullcrusher/Roshcard unkillable and Bushi was the sub on one of the affinity rotations and I could NEVER pull him for the longest time so I just couldn't do one of the affinities. Eventually got him way after building the much stronger bat eater team haha

[@imaimbottingbro7305]

i was playing when hording was released and i used relic+hording and they carried me SOOO FAR they are still carrying me to this day, (I'm F2p) I love that duo and feel they should get more love

[@Captnspork]

Delver is very good against Spider 20 when paired with Ghostborn b/c of her A2. Always having a guaranteed def down and weaken keeps consistent Hp nuke damage for Septimus and Royal Guard with Gurptuk. I used that method for a good while, until Hard Spider 10 came out. So for 20 and lower dungeon boss fights, she's quite good.

[@UnpaidSeclusion]

Ash really trying to rile up the viewers lol...love it

[@MikeB-nn4nh]

And that’s just some of those pronunciations

[@gamerkings6131]

Great Vid. For one of your next vids can you do a showcase of Minaya, Lugan, Genzin? They are all underrated and helped me out for the early game?

[@MdnightWnd]

I absolutely LOVE Minaya. So many of the creators think she’s below average but she carried my account.

[@halfaron]

I remember when I tried to build Relickeeper as my campaign farmer in the early, early days. That was a frustrating experience. Now I use Saurus. :D

[@Newominus]

12:06 Making Balthus's 2 turn 100% provoke an AOE would be absolutely busted, he would be goated in hydra

[@kennygerberich4985]

You can only provoke the head of decay though, right? Doesn't seem like it would add much to him for hydra then except a bit more damage per use of that skill. Making it a 2 turn aoe would put him almost on par with umbral enchantress as a CC champ, though. But umbral has the 3 turn block buffs too so she'd still way outshine him.

[@zacharyquentin2140]

I've seen Hexia smack pretty hard when paired up with Gurptuk Mossbeard... her passive syncs well with his kit. Relickeeper was my campaign farmer for a while... he farms 11-3, not 12-3.

[@Cypele]

Hi there! Delver was my 1st epic pull and I build her up to lvl 60, full booked, 100% crit and alot acc and she helped me in alot alot alot places, untill Coldheart I didnt have better heal reduction champ, I know her kit bring alot "if this debuff is placed then", but it look worse when you read it than if you use her ^^' I do not recommend her ofc and wouldnt build her again if see your vid months ago, but still. Shes not THAT bad!

[@Doomtowndandy]

I really wish Fearmonger was better I really wanted him to be good.

[@poisty21]

The one champ you mentioned I can think of a ok use for well into the mid game - *BUSHI* as a spirit based stun target for Clan Boss to replace say for instance skullcrusher if it breaks your comp against the magic clanboss. He's also solid in the EARLY game as an arena smacker if you build him to one shot. -------- The rest I can't think of a good use for at all (outside of the very very early game for Relic Keeper). PS you have a point with *BEAST* - Beast Wrestler, Reinbeast, Rockbeast, Stitched Beast, Terrorbeast. -- All of them rubbish. **BUT** Klodd Beastfeeder is an exception, he's decent enough, apparently feeding the beasts is a lot better than Wrestling them in the raid world.

[@RPSchonherr]

Ripper, The destroy max HP is his niche Doom tower Scarab. I actually built him just for that.

[@ThatOneNiceGuy]

Great video as always Ash 🫡 Hear me out. First off, agree to disagree. I definitely don’t think he’s the worst epic in Raid. There are far too many epics that go above him in my opinion. Relic Keeper has gotten me through so much playing raid these last couple years. Honestly, I still have a lot of niche characters to obtain that I keep not pulling and he seems to consistently get me through a lot of content. I feel the only reason I still use him is because he is built with 100% critical rate and high dps. At first I only used him for campaign but as I progressed through the first year of playing he became my go to for not only campaign but also arena offense when against mostly neutral and positive affinity, dragons lair progression, (until I had better champions) Minotaur scroll farming, (high survivability/carrying un-maxed champions) and also potions keep farming. Essentially he carried me through account progression for a long time until I had better champions for specific situations. I pulled him as an epic champion very early on before I was able to fuse him , so that definitely swayed my opinion on this champion, considering how important and account changing he ended up being in the long run for my account. 🤷‍♂️

Love all your posts. I'm a fairly newer player been at it for a few months only lvl 44 and was actually excited I just fused relickeeper and was about to kit him glad I waited. But I also have quite a few S tier leggos and epics because I was able to drop a couple bucks here or there so most of the time im not even touching more than a handful of characters anyways. Your videos are incredibly helpful thanks you!

[@RicoLen1]

Hey Ash, I got an idea for a video I'd love to see made. Can you do a list of what are in your opinion the best fusion/fragment summon champions Raid has released? I keep talking with my clan-mates about how great Ukko and Pythion are, but they keep telling me it was Brogni. I'd love to see where you weigh in on this discussion.

[@blakemelton7166]

Great video! this really helps when looking at which champions to spend my limited resources on. I think you need to redo this a little bit now to include the Ambassador Lethelin. I did not get enough from the Gnut fusion event and deeply regretted fusing Riab instead of using them to boost the skills of 1 or 2 of the Riabs that I got. I used him as food very quickly. I use my Relic Keeper and actually can get use out of him compared with Lethelin.

Just an idea Hexia rework Grave rot; Attacks 1 enemy at random, has a 30% chance (upgraded 45%) to apply 60% [Decrease Def] and 15% (up to 30%) chance to apply 30% [Decrease speed]. This champion heals by 7% of the damage dealt, and receives a shield equal to 4% of the damage dealt, and lasts for 2 turns (the shield can stack to 25% of champ max hp). If a debuff is successfully applied Grave rot will trigger again (this ability cannot trigger more than 2 times), and a 15 [decrease res], a 5% [decrease def], or a 5% [decrease hp]debuff is applied to this champ. Spirit harvest Reworked; 5 turn cd, 3 turn if booked - Attacks all enemies, damage is increase by 15% for each debuff on this champion (stacks up to 4 times, 60% /// with low/medium multiplier), reduces their turn meter by 8% for each debuff on this champion (stacks up to 4 times, 32%), additionally places a shield on this champion equal to 15% of damage dealt. + Aura For each debuff on this champion increase their defence, speed and hp by 7,5%(stacks up to 30%), and 15% increase attack for each debuff Aura Skill (5 turn cd???): Additionally, at any time if this champion reaches 4 debuffs, all debuffs timers on this champio are increased by 2 turns, their effects will be ignored for the extent of their duration, and a [block debuffs] buff is applied to this champion, then they are granted an extra turn.

[@juliepage4382]

Interesting list. Like a number have already stated, when you don't have better champs, any champ is viable in faction war until replaced. If you have my luck you a) don't get to pull many, and b) when you pull they are all crap, so you make the best you can with the crap you have.

[@normelwood3632]

I use Septimus in the campaign for a reason similar to what you hoped would work for Relickeeper. Difference is Septimus is great, and not geared just for campaign, geared to be used lots of other places as well with good utility.12-3: 13 sec, 12-7 12 sec

[@jeremyking3080]

Nice list but...... can I take a moment of your time to speak/type about one of the most slept on champions for live arena. It's an epic, Rian the conjurer. Amazing buff strip with weaken. So that 1 champion replaces your kymar in some instances, and one of your supports with the aoe weaken. Then the revive and the single target block buffs. Totally amazing for live arena. I get Urost (big green guy) this cvc and the only video on them is outdated but green and Rian are both live arena capable. Akoth could possibly be built for damage. With a candy or more support could be a viable team maybe even a brogni built for damage. Or even new Supreme elhain. Can put big green in a bolster set along with Rian or preception.

11:00 i love his look, i always wanted him to be cool

[@ps00spf]

Ash, I love the content and the positivity as ever ❤ I disagree on Relickeeper. I am Gold V arena and he pops off entire teams one champion after another. I’d love to see you do a guide and take him into the arena please. Definitely not #1 worst. Peace and love

[@myescort2800]

I disagree on Hexia, Balthus, Bonekeeper and just a bit on Bushi. - Hexia... probably not Rotos, but great multiplier, self attack buff, self healing, Extra turn mechanic and if you build her well, the extra turn is substantially guaranteed 'cause she is capable of a great amount of damage. - Balthus: atk down on the A1, 2 turn provoke (great for Magma Dragon for example), reduce critical damage (the CB cannot crit anymore), good survivability e good damage on the AoE and the A3. Not the best in town, but surely not the worst. Bonekeeper: probably there are a lot of great single target nukers out there, but man... Bone is probably one of the 3 hardest hitters on the game. The A3 is a Rotos killer, but to be honest who can survive to her shot? So please... choose someone else. Bushi: a little bit niche, but who have some problems dealing with Lydia on a Cardinal strategy... well put him on the team to waste the Lydia's passive and do the rest with your Cardinal. Simple thoughts but I prefer to talk about them.

[@Villhelm478]

Appreciate the videos as always and your brand of positivity! Keep at it, man, and thanks for helping out the RSL community.

[@geoffreycannon2197]

Zii Ixchi is very limited in her utility, but she can do MASSIVE amounts of damage to her single target. ... but like you said, doom tower champs should bring a LOT more than a single target nuke.

[@damonpugh4402]

I can't disagree with any of this because I always check your vids now BEFORE I build champions and thus am spared the misery. Much thx for these guides.

[@kalitatl8540]

Ash, I think Hell Hades did a vid on Bushi being able to solo some level 25 dungeons based on his revive skill, with some healing sets...

[@mrcombine7983]

I use bushi and hes good in arena because he can be incredibly tanky and the guarantied crit is reeallly useful especially with the short cooldown on his kit made even shorter with relentless, you can one shot characters particularly like UDK if hes under a decrease defense and bushi has increase atk

[@mosespray4510]

The two great agonies of trash epics (and Leggos): 1) The art design is SO cool, and you really want to build that champion, but you just can't justify it because the kit is trash. For me it's Urticata; I just love her design, but you know... 2) You're pulling shards and you see purple or yellow. You're psyched...and then you get your 4th Hellgazer, your 3rd Masked Fearmonger, or your 1st Guurda Bogbrew. Also, I'm bald and have a way bigger forehead, so don't let the trolls get you down, Ash.

[@Savitar876]

Reinbeast is a total L here, is a2 can it sadly upwards of 60k w/o trying and his a1 is a pretty ok heal. Would not even make the list imo but otherwise great list. Keep up the good work 👍👍

[@John-mh6mi]

Ash your the best. Thank you so much not only for Raid content. But for the positive vibes for life. You have helped me more then you know.

[@friendlygiant2314]

I had Reignbeast before they nerfed him, it was so great. Shame they wrecked him.

[@TehDanxorz]

Heh... I was struggling to finish up the Faction Wars - Skinwalker Crypt for the longest time. I didn't have ANY revive champion (thankfully I now have Hoforees the Tusked at the very least) outside of maybe trying to rank up and use a Lamibur which I didn't want to do, at all. But I did have a Reinbeast. So I jacked up my Reinbeast to 5-star ascended level 50 with Relentless and Speed. I did not bother booking him as there was NO cooldown reduction and he got right in there. And somehow, someway, they did it. So, in the very least: Reinbeast, thanks for helping me that one time. But get outta here, you smell funny.

[@JarlHavi]

For Fearmonger I think he should get a passive where after every turn he becomes invisible and any attack that hits him gives strong decrease Spd, Atk, Def, and True Fear for 3 Turns as well as he is revived with 100% HP and Full Turn Meter on a 3 Turn cool down. Also wish he had dedicated Fear and Decrease Spd and Def attacks that hit like a truck.

[@Kuronew]

Big brain energies >:3 Thank you for the video! I have some of the champs listed but thankfully haven't really used them....maybe just for food... haha

[@WoopeyCakes]

That Hellgazer low defense joke had me in tears! 😂

[@charlie3771]

Love your content, man! Thanks for all the hard work! I would like to point out that Lich's A2 is Decrease speed debuff on target, not an increase speed buff on Lich/team. Cheers

[@cdwwg]

Relickeeper is a super weird inclusion. Easy to fuse early, he takes care of himself, he can hit hard, he can wave-clear fairly well, doesn't need annoying stats to build, big aura for fast campaign progress, has good synergy with early Relentless set rewards from events, list goes on. Tolf is an example of straight up vault material for 95% of players, if not 99.9%+ of players. He'll never have a useful place in the game aside from reducing shields and that's only if reducing a shield is mandatory.

[@ChefAtPlay]

Oh man, Ash did my girl Hexia bad here. She hits like an absolute tank at times. Granted she's squishy but in a decent team she can be great. But as always, thats the beauty of Raid, totally subjective. Keep up the amazing content Ash!

[@MealzOnWheels]

Solid list. I thought I was going to disagree with u on jizoh but u didn't include him

[@erikvinson7511]

Didn't even have to watch to know I had all of the top 10 in my vault forever.☹

[@Out_of_My_Head]

This reminds me a lot of MTG the card game and how some rares on up have sucky iffy abilities that depend x, y or z. Of course, I'd just chalk this up to the game developers having their off-days.

[@whom382]

I'm not saying he is great, but Bergoth isn't bottom 20. I used to use him back in the day and he was usable. It's not like he is Pyxniel bad! 🙂

[@ratsochicknlove]

I thought Relickeeper was good in relentless 😂 but yea he's slow lol. Ignore the haters Ash, you're doing a great job as always!
