Im on day 65 as f2p, an its just grind food as fast you can on brutal 12.3 or 12.6. but what you can do, really depends on the champs you pulls. first focus should really be to get 12 champs to lvl 60 an doing Clan boss as high you can, try to push into nightmare clan boss for the sweet rewards. There is Famable champs that can be good an saving books, because you can farm dublicates, Valerie, Spirit host, Warmaiden, Diabolist + your Kael is like the fundation of a team that all bring different stuff to help you survie longer. Im doing close to 20mil on clan boss hard, but I also invested alot of time an was lucky to not have a whale/kraken in my tournament an won Ninja's 5 starsoul, an that have carry me for most of the game so far. Love you, love our face, hope you have a nice day

[@rakumanqq]

My eyes watered up when you pulled those blue shards :) I know it's tempting to do that, but it would be better if you saved them up for 2x events (they are usualy on weekends, you can check hellhades or ayumilove for future summon events). As for the clan boss, you're lacking a good support champion to keep your team alive for longer (someone with shields, heals, etc..) Sadly I didnt see anyone worthy in your roster, but keep at it, you'll get one. Also, I see somebody else already told u to build frozen banshee (excelent recomandation for clan boss). Always nice to see fresh meat in this game, so welcome aboard !! Good luck & Have fun !

Thank you!

@@UncleNayYT hello there. Great to see your Draco 6 stars already. Yes, I agree with you RSL is really overwhelming for new players because there is too much going on and too much to learn and explore. Fusion events and tournaments are very difficult for beginners/young accounts unless you are a spender. I suggest doing the events you can do and get as much as resources you can for those events. Then SAVE those resources so that you can have more than enough resources for the next Fusion Champion event that you may or may not participate in. Like I said before it is best for FTP players to only open shards during 2x events for a higher chance to get epics and leggos. Sacred shards are being used mostly in Summon Rush tournaments during Fusions. Yes, books/tomes are very rare so use wisely. You can get them through events and tournaments, progressive advanced quests, and Clan Boss. With regards to your champ inventory, champs that have a "portal" on their picture means that they are champs needed to fuse a certain champion in the summoning portal. Save them and level and ascend them up to their respective requirements. The "hounds" you've shown are food. Jizoh (provoker) and Khafru (mini-cleanser) are ok for early game. You can have them at 50. Your next priority is to get to higher levels of Dragon dungeon.

[@kiprockwood5232]

Raid is about picking a choosing when to get involved and where to spend resources.

[@UncleNayYT]

@@kiprockwood5232 evidently so hah! Not good at picking yet

[@SW-IAmSpeed]

Hey Hey Uncle Nay! Nice to see you making content again :) Thanks for the fun watch. I used to play Raid but eventually lost interest....the overwhelming aspect you mention in this video is what eventually drove me away. The very short events require constant farming and it was just too much. But good luck in the game! The graphics are beautiful and some of the content is a lot of fun.

[@terr0r_blade]

This is the first video of ur's i watch, I play this game i a bit of knowledge in this game. So first gems if u r planning to play this game like a "marathon" then u unlock gem mine(its like savings in a banking system which will give u interest of 15 per day) and upgrade it to lvl 3, then unlock all sparring pit slot upgrading needs huge some so for now just unlock. After this fusion I can give guidance either u joining one of my friends clan where i got my another account or i will come join ur clan.

[@millertime4148]

Unlocking the gem mine earlier will be good because it's a solid long term investment. If you plan to play for at least 3 months, it will pay itself off and much more

[@UncleNayYT]

Just did it last night :)

[@diablogaming8095]

I'm a relatively late game player so if you have any questions feel free to ask! Also, a good place to ask questions is English channel 1

[@Parasite_Eve_1776]

definitely want to unlock the mine, after that gems are good to use for masteries until you get solid group made for clan boss, then use gems for energy though its best to use for energy. the first goal for new players is working to collect the best chest is nightmare clan boss daily with a clan that downs nightmare daily for double chests. then you can have a chance of collecting sacred shards, void shards, and legendary books each day. once you get to that point that's where your account can really take off. three debuffs you want to keep up on clan boss is decrease def, decrease att, and weaken for best results until you can create an unkillable team.

[@Ayzingg]

stick to it, it can be quite intimidating as a new player. dont worry about doing events right now just focus on campaign, missions and learning how to play :) love seeing new players, so i've subbed!

[@UncleNayYT]

@@Ayzingg thank you!!

[@roblinnell8880]

Focus on daily quests and save up your resources for CVC and/or events/tournaments.

[@GatlaxyWorld]

Bro trust me. (Cuz u know me so well), but it gets way easier. I'm almost 6 months in and I'm finally able to do a fusion. All in good time

[@josephlacombe5203]

Just a bit of information from one ftp player to another. This game really has an issue with fomo, if you can’t do a fusion don’t do it (fusions really require a ton of stock piling and planning, don’t stress over missing a fusion). Focus at first on the Arbiter missions and Challenges (they are poorly put together, but they will give you an idea of where to go and what to work on). Speed is king in this game, get to Palace of Aravia and farm speed boots (at your highest farmable level, brutal will drop up to 5 star gear). After getting speed boots for your champions, work on your clan boss team (the best rewards come from getting the best chest from clan boss). Place your clan boss team in life steal gear at first, farm 5 star sets (4 pieces) from Valdemar Strait. The gear from the campaign will be replaced when you can farm gear from level 20 dungeons. Use events to earn items, when you can. Save your shards for x2 events, unless you have nothing to work on (when all your used champions are level 60, then pull for new champions). Fill your faction guardians (with some of those rare dupes, that will give you help with stats ), the rest should be used for food and leveling champions. Two good programs to help out are RSL Helper and HellHades Artifact extractor. RSL Helper will help a ton with farming (it automates a ton of things that normally require manual manipulation and seriously helps with the grind). HH Artifact extractor helps build champions, teams and gives a single location to view all parts of your account. Hope that helps.

[@UncleNayYT]

[@priestguardian2587]

The game is #1 in its genre and continously updated with new content. Enjoy the ride, it will take you a year to even come close to understanding it all

[@UncleNayYT]

Haha good to know!

[@Hannes-111]

choose only one tournament that u wanna do and collect alot of energy before that ... every day some tourney happens dont need to do them all :)

[@nacerboukabou5813]

in this game since the events are so short you need to plan to do it in advance (hoard shard and energy) for dungeon divers for example you need about 4k energy to complete it, and to get better chance and shard this game has every other friday a X2 event for epics/legendaries for a specific type of shard and its usually the best time to pull so try to hold on pulling until then, also for your next 6 star you have a frozen banshee in your vault she's pretty good for clan boss/dragon you should 6* her then ascend your dracomorph to 3* so he unlocks his drop defense and replace warmaiden with her ,build her with max survivability and around 100 accuracy, as soon as you start hitting max chest on nightmare/ultra nightmare legendary skill tomes and shards shouldn't be an issue anymore as they drop pretty regularly

[@UncleNayYT]

@@nacerboukabou5813 thanks for the info! Never thought about planning ahead like that

[@deeman-zw7pp]

The pain as early game. Grind grind and grind more😬

[@TomseveBlogspotCa]

I was thinking to open your shards in hopes of someone better and you did, but got nothing. I would throw bellower into a stun set and 6 star him next. binged watched and enjoyed your progress so far.

[@UncleNayYT]

@@TomseveBlogspotCa thanks so much for watching!!

[@webboo5312]

Good vid dude don’t ever use gem on guardian stuff till u get late late game gem mine is good if u plan on playing the game long term as it’s a lot to invest if ur not.mainly use gems for energy refills I would say

[@Mrbrightside098]

If you plan on playing for more than 100 days, you should fully unlock the gem mine. Anything collected after 100 days is infinite ROI. Also, as far as artifacts go, speed is king. If it's got speed, and it's in speed set, it's an automatic keep. There isn't a lot of point to try to get a bunch of accuracy rolls on gear that isn't accuracy set. Speed rolls are great no matter what set. There is so much more I wish I could convey but I would be typing forever. Oh! And if you haven't gotten kael masteries, you should immediately buy it with gems. Typically, the first 1 or 2 champions nasteries you want to buy with gems, and then use those 1 or 2 champs to farm minotaur 15 for anyone else since it's so much more effective to use the gems for energy or minotaur than just buying the masteries flat out. I'm a late game player of 3+ years and would love to offer free coaching/live chat if you would like some better personalized help, it's just way too much to type lol

[@UncleNayYT]

Thanks for the info!

[@joaogr4560]

forget the fusions if you can't beat dungeons lvl 20 and don't have unlocked the last chest in Clan Boss Ultra Nightmare. Dungeons drivers takes a lot of energy to get the fragments - about 5k and if you are doing level 20 dungeons

[@SeanathanCreek]

Yeah, you really need to save for a bit before you decide to do a tournament etc... Though I've been playing for over 3 years and don't have a Dracomorph yet, congrats.

[@handsomemike1]

Lot of negativity towards the game in your comments, yes its a steep learning curve but it's all entirely possible as F2P just not immediately. You wont be able to do a lot of content until you have 6 6* champions with a good composition, a clan boss team that can churn out decent rewards daily and importantly - an understanding of the mechanics. At the point of the game that you are you dont need to worry about the things you'll need to worry about later - gear sets, souls, fusions, events. Your Focus should be entirely on getting your first set of champions to 6* and maximising the amount of resources you're getting daily. I've levelled 7 accounts to level 50 for referral rewards, fastest I did was in under 20 days without spending a penny. The fun is in figuring these things out. Save ancient shards for 2x events... and dont level up any rares past Kael for now. Draco is an absolute beast, at your gear level just get speed and accuracy on him and dont worry about anything else... with better gear he can be a great damage dealer too but you wont be able to build him with killer stats.

[@UncleNayYT]

What units should I 6*?

[@handsomemike1]

@@UncleNayYT Loki, he’s long term useful and will provide utility though you’ll struggle to get books on him. Get Bellower and Warmaiden to 50 but no further. Keep grinding champions up as food and gathering gems. When it’s 2x ancients pull whatever you’ve got - and honestly spend 900 gems in the gem shop for 11 more ancients - then fingers crossed for a useable Epic or two. Kael and Draco will get you through a lot of content as a pair but you need SPEED. At the point you are in the game you want to aim for at least 170 speed and as much accuracy as you can get on Draco and on Kael you want as close to 100% crit rate and as much speed as possible (ideally a bit slower than Draco) on Kael. Loki will bring you block active skills and block buffs which will give you a bit of control - so speed and accuracy so he can get round to his turns quicker. Focus entirely on those three and make them as strong as you can, filling in the other spots with Bellower and warmaiden but honestly - don’t feel bad about feeding them into your other champs. Warmaiden brings Inc Attack and Dec Defense which you’re already getting from Draco and Loki. Bellower - don’t underestimate how useful Decrease Speed is when your champs are so slow. The faster you can get him in a stun set the better. Again - speed is your friend.

[@handsomemike1]

But don’t 6* Bellower. Before too long you’ll have a bunch of stuff to level and at your stage it’s 3-4 days of hardcore grind to level a 6*.

[@UncleNayYT]

@@handsomemike1 thanks for your detail!!

[@Twit21269]

Under 20? Got any tutorials? 😂

[@plebs9472]

The game grew to big for what it meant to be. Some part of it are impossible to beat if you lack of specific champions. Example Cursed city, "Carnage" champion there is impossible to get for me who is playing for the third year as a low spender. There is to much to do in the game and rewards are not worth to do some stuff. Right now I am only doing my daily missions, and saving all my energy, gems, silver, shards, books, for the fusions. Gears that are dropping now are useless, so why bother farming? Stay strong and thank you for the video.

[@UncleNayYT]

I was unaware you needed to save up so many resources in order to do events in this game. I dont like that honestly.

[@Parasite_Eve_1776]

ya but Karnage kinda sux

[@plebs9472]

@@UncleNayYT This is my tactic as I noticed that every Friday there is some kind of event to take your shards away as there is "X 10 event for Dutches" and you end up spending your shards (100 ancients for example) and getting nothing. Books I only use when CvC tournament with a personal rewards are on. Leveling champions I am doing only when fusion is on with event like:"Champion training" as it is costly! Energy wise why to spend on farming if you will need it for a fusion doing farming any way? I have learned that saving and going for guaranteed lego is the only way. But this is my way of playing this game :)

[@bouchesrudy1227]

Hello your next 6 star may be frozen banshee because the main focus when you star at raid is clan boss and she rule there (sorry for my english )

[@UncleNayYT]

@@bouchesrudy1227 ok great to know!!

[@aldebaran3833]

I'm a F2P - started in 2022... those fusion events are not for you, yet. You can focus on levelling up your 60 with full mastery, then 5 other level 60... and about 3 months in, you will have had a solid team that can carry you and even allow you to start trying Fusion Events successfully - but the grind is REAL even at that level

[@UncleNayYT]

I have no idea who to 6* next. Loki? Bellower? Warmaiden? Haha no idea!

[@Rico-eh8dc]

Use the "mermaid ladies" and the dogs for food, you'll get way too many of them anyway, you could use mermaid lady for turnmeter increase as well early game but will soon by changed to either Apothecary or High Khatun so don't 6* her... Easy booking with dupes though!!. I also see you have a Lumberer in your vault (big troll) he brings decrease attack which is a great debuff into Clanboss :)

[@Rico-eh8dc]

Also, the blue tax on the pulls man.... too bad :(

[@Rico-eh8dc]

As for Faction Wars (sorry commenting as I'm watching lol) -- Try to look ahead what will come up next day(s), level up your food accordingly so you can use the food for getting glyphs and perception mats every day already :) no need for gearing said food

[@UncleNayYT]

@@Rico-eh8dc I have bellower and he does decrease attack and defense on clan boss. I really am trying to get my 5 man team down but don't know who to build :/

[@Rico-eh8dc]

@@UncleNayYT but i think he only brings the small versions. You have warmaiden bringing big version def down and the troll big versian attack down. Warmaiden is solid as 6star and vamp gear which will make her survive better. Bellower is good to change into your campaign farmer later but at this stage im not sure he brings most value to your account. Wait with him till after 5man team for all content. My first team was: kael, warmaiden, diabolo (before high khatun), kaiden, tromborr. They all fullfilll a role and that is what you should look at. Poison/dmg - def down - att down - support tm/speed - defend team/ress/heal. Heal usually through lifesteal sets on all chars

[@time2pack1]

Don't even worry about any events and tournaments right now. Your main focus should be leveling champs, doing campaign and dungeons and building a clan boss team. I've played 8 accounts for 7 months and never done a fusion. I end up pulling most fusion champs from shards anyways. Only 6 star champs THAT WILL HELP YOUR PROGRESS right now. Look at the champion ratings. You should have watched a beginner video that explains the game before you even started. Going into this game blind is not recommended. You waste so many resources trying to figure out how the game works. Goodluck on your Raid journey, it's gonna be a rough one lol.
