[@burck6113]

I really love experienced players giving their takes on things like this and how to decide when to invest into which gear, etc. Really helps out newer players in finding a good direction instead of kinda wandering aimlessly not really knowing what they're doing

[@Kitfoo77]

You also have to take into account that HH is an end-level whale/kraken with nearly unlimited resources, everything is maxed, and he has "perfect" gear. So, what he says is great may be great from his perspective, but a non-kraken who doesn't have maxed gear/stats will find the champion might be "meh".

[@Neuvillete4.6]

​@@Kitfoo77every champion is meh without gear. Even armanz

[@skorpion7132]

@@Neuvillete4.6 Doesn't negate the point of kitfoo now does it? What he's saying, is that champions the CCs call out as great, may only be great due to what's on them, which most players simply will not have access to. I happen to have watched Ash's video before this one and I consistently find myself mumbling: "I have him but I'm not getting anything decent from him." or I have her, but she's far away from being useful." or "I have him, but can't get the stats to where it needs to be." Every list of champions I've seen, for over half I can say the same thing over and over.

[@danielunderwood5217]

Stag knight's passive pairs perfectly with drex. Especially for frost spider. Drex places hp burn when attacked,and with his A1. So if you dont land hp burn with the one, you will have the inc acc to land it with the other. Although the passive pairs well with any champ that places debuffs on multiple skills, it pairs perfectly for drex in frost spider because most hp burners do t have hp on thier default skill. Therefore, if Mordechai/ult galek, akoth, sicia, etc. are resisted, the increase acc will go on them, but fall off before the hp burn skill comes off cooldown. Drex places hp burn when attacked and with his default, so so if he is resisted placing hp burn one way, he is guaranteed to have the acc buff the next time he tries to place hp burn. As i said, a perfectly pair

[@twodeepmatt]

Just a thought, but every epic revive champ for a faction is basically the best epic if you don't have a revive yet or don't have a revive for faction wars (and are still working on it).

[@izdaica1]

Top 3 means in any situation you would still build them eventually. If you had a good orc reviver, you wouldn't build Shaman. But if you need an orc reviver, her worth goes up. No matter who you have, Seer and Maneater are worth building.

[@amp7980]

Very true. I still have no reviver for banner Lord years later. I'll probably never complete all the faction wars

[@rahulparamanik2047]

​@@amp7980revivers are not necessary to clear fw.

[@ShiftysRevenge]

@@amp7980 Me either. I have played nearly every day for 2 years and only have a bit more than half of faction wars complete. I don't spend money on this game at all so I'll likely NEVER finish faction wars, DT Hard, 3v3 Silver1 or Cursed City. I'm ok with that though, as I have better things to spend money on than a stupid game.

[@twodeepmatt]

@@amp7980 It's a big gear check early on without overwhelming champs. Think about sets you could use to survive the waves. Stun etc.

Wukong: 🐒 Fenax: Mmmm monke 😊

[@johnzsays6182]

I love these because I have so many 40-50 epics and its always "who's next"

[@ShiftysRevenge]

Champions are easy to get compared to really good quality gear to dress them out in. Even when you get a good piece of gear, chance are, you will roll it badly. I'd say about 1 in 1000 pieces of gear ends up being god like. It may even be much higher than that. You see these content creators with gear that has their champions running at 350+ speeds with 350%+ Crit damage and tons of ACC. Seems impossible! They tell you how you need to play the game but these guys like HH are out of touch with the average player. I still like to listen to him, but I take much of it with a grain of salt.

[@IntooleranceRieg]

​Its an overall view, it should always be considered : With the proper gear you can achieve that + HH always take off his artifact. Its not just the gear their great hall are maxed too. Its an idea, and then you need to know where you want to use this champion and wich kind of gear you have. It just takes time but of course you wont have the same gear of a 5year player who invested in the game as a new or mid tier free to play/low spender. ​@@ShiftysRevenge

[@mrpolskija]

Honorary mention to Fylja! Just the perfect opener for Dark Fae, because she's super squishy but smacks like a truck, fills her own turn meter and then depletes turn meter.

[@DreamWalker687]

[@mitchellfabian7694]

Stag knight passive is actually pretty clutch with cold heart. My coldhearts don’t have quite enough accuracy for max dark fae hard but they use another ability before heart seeker and then get the accuracy boost and then always land heart seeker

[@anthony7697]

Tayrel is definetly still up there, still use the one on my main for a lot of things cause he's DEF based, hits hard, and brings Decrease ATK, DEF, a turn meter reduction and a conditional sleep/stun. Could he use a buff as one of the old guard to have a 3 turn CD on his A2 and 3 - yeah, but he's still solid and great if you need a champ who can decrease DEF, take a hit, and smack.

[@douglasdarling7606]

Stag night is so useful for the higher levels if you just don't want to spend silver rearing to get those outrageous accuracies I refer specifically to that Frost dragon I only need 220 accuracy for Ninja for example I'm not going to go read gearing him for accuracy every time I have to fight the Frozen dragon so I just bring the stag knight

[@stacystafford4681]

Question. If u destroy max hp with one champ and another champ does DMG based on max hp, does the first affect the latter with less DMG?

[@AnnaC-on1ho]

I am Legendary light (about 35). In general, my epics that reach level 60 are the ones I need simply because I do not have a legendary available for the content or in the case of the cursed city the team I would use is completely banned from the content. Oddly enough though the ones he highlighted are the ones that already made it to level 60 or I am still working on getting them there.

[@Ge4orce44]

Alika can do the same as Basher by increasing the cooldowns by 2 turns. Does need accuracy though.

I’ve been hesitant to use any epics as chickens since this dropped, what things should I look for when deciding which ones to keep and empower other than this list?

[@candyman107]

I'm surprised Skytouched Shaman wasn't included. She's carried me through Iron Twins pre-nerf and hard mode Dragon with her kit.

[@skorpion7132]

At the same time I'm happy with Valla's callout since she's been with me from the very early game and was one of my many tanks that carried me. Goes to show how every champion, on the list or not, may have great value for someone.

[@acorn1754]

Always fill out faction guardians before empowering. And do you mean 2 Husk for Hydra CB? I haven't heard many using him in regular CB. Btw, a +1 isn't that valuable, it's +2, +3 that really starts to make the difference.

[@TRATAL82]

Demonspawn - don't sleep on "Duhr" he is a beast in a relentless set. I use him everywhere.

[@user-vd2us1en5w]

They need to fix the a.i. on revivers so they don't use their revive skills until someone is dead. That would be very helpful in all parts of the game

[@grizzledsentinel4691]

For barbs, you should probably have aina in the third slot. In a bateater or batman forever with 2 toxic sets, she's one of the absolute best in the game for the dps slot. Admittedly that is a niche but people do struggle to fill that slot and tend to get confused about how to proceed since they get a lot of different advice about toxic sets versus poison champs. If someone has gone down the toxic set route and have a fayne or something like that which is normally given as a top choice, aina will add damage over fayne in that slot due to better multipliers. Hoskrul was the other I was thinking of, I'd just never use him outside of sintranos and only there because I have him in a few stages where I have zero options. And that still hasn't made me bother to build him. Fahrakin and High Khatun definitely 1-2 though. Both are amazing. I had finished with high khatun before I ended up having to regear her for dark fae for the dark elhain team. I just needed a second decrease speed (with elhain) to make sure it landed since the speeds and accuracy were so hard to reach and dark elhain is 75% anyway. Used that team for over a year to auto 120 hard before building out a faster team.

2 things. 1 when it comes to Hoskarul ppl seem to forget his passive also increases ally damage to stunned targets by 15% and with ur nukers mastery that makes it 27% increase. 2 Dhukk the pierced is garbage compared to Stag knight he only has decrease att and only decreases Def if he crits he's the only drop Def I know of that has a condition like that meaning if u don't build him with crit he doesn't even drop def so not only does need acc but a capped crit meaning he has a 3% chance to fail on acc and on crit and affinity giving him 3 chances of 3% to fail where everyone else only has 2of the 3 or 1 of the 3 to worry about with no condition. ( side note I've heard lots of CCs refer to Visix as the Unbowed like she doesn't have a bow and arrow it's actually unbowed as in she doesn't bow her head to any opponent, king or queen ect..😮)

Even if he did, that was before epic empowerment. Even if epic empowerment doesn't change the best champs in each faction, it will still drive players to youtube looking for this exact type of video. Although a content creator needs to make new content, they also have to balance that with re-uploading or remaking content at the times when it is in demand. It benefits the community because it created when they need it (without them having to dig up old videos, which could potentially be out of date), and it generates views because they are at the top of the que at the time that they are in demand. Most content creators push lies, hyperbole/exaggeration, deliberate misinterpretations, deceptive thumbnails, fake life hacks, fake stories/anecdotes, fake reations, staged pranks, staged interviews, etc. just to get views and reactions. You are going to one of the nearly extinct content creators making quality, truthful, relevant content, and complaining that they are duplicating a piece of quality content. Why!
