Long time player here, but appreciate this non the less to build our community! One small correction - Rings are not unlocked on 4 star ascension, it's unlocked once a champion is ranked up to 4. Amulets and banners are locked behind ascensions. (viewable by yellow star vs purple on the accessories).

[@ASH-RAID]

Thanks man!

[@Zevrael]

Good stuff, thanks for taking the time to do this.

[@jaredmartarano8800]

This was a great guide. I might consider myself mid game, but it never hurts to refresh some things I just don't use and their importance. Thanks Ash!

[@ASH-RAID]

Thanks for tuning in ;)

[@jamesharris3972]

Great guide! Always appreciate your videos. You're the number 1 Raid CC in my opinion!

[@tiagomoreira2929]

Ash, great video as always, it’s still amazing how u can get these videos better each time you do them! Just one thing to point out… I’m and end game player as you, so I get you on that, but those mystery shards on market are essential for new player, to get rates for Rhazin fusion, good rares like Apothecary, food for champs, and points for Champion Chase or even Summon Rush, easy 300-1000 points every tournament/event if u pick them… so those can bring a huge advantage to new players, even mid game ones, or end game in some cases, especially when people are free to play 🙏🏽

[@likelemmyidabasest3882]

Great job, Ash. Watch these every year, and every year your job gets more complicated. Great resource and intro to the community, wish I'd found your content before I had 30 lvl 50's and no 60's... We live and learn, happy new year!

[@metroid74]

Only a few minutes in and honestly the video started from youtube auto play. That being said, I very much enjoy these types of videos. I think maybe they can come out at times other than the new year but I get that. I’ve been playing since 2019 and I love watching these every year from most CCs. Helps keeps me in the know for some of the content I might have missed and let’s me know a new players perspective as it has vastly changed. Thank you and keep up the great work.

Thank you first & foremost for all the content and information that you bestow upon us regarding the insights that you have learned & acquired regarding this game! I recently created an alt account for fun & to see if I have better luck with my shard pulls. My very first ancient shard got me one of the better epic Dwarves and that being Fylja!

[@aroron1135]

Another fantastic guide, Ash! Great summary of everything currently available in RAID:SL and the mechanics! One helpful battle hint I'd like to share that I don't see covered: When auto-battling in any content, you can click on one of the enemies to have your team focus that one first. This is great when your team is up against a team with a champion who resurrects or a tough debuffer/unkillable buffer, so you don't have to manual the battle until that enemy champ is put down. Sending amazing New Year vibes to you and your kiddo!

[@ASH-RAID]

Thanks man!

[@ZEROBREW]

Fantastic guide as always. I'm directing all newbs to the game to watch this as mandatory watching.

i love that you mention the pop ups, i made a reveiw on google play that i really love the game but the pop ups are really over the top. they actually replied with "well we just want players to get the best value out of our deals and some are not always permanent" like yeah bruh any time i go back to bastion i need an add to remind me u want money lol

Beginner roadmap!!! Best one so far. One of few who guides which 'order to progress' and what you need to get along the way. Make a ftp guide 'Noob to dragonslayer' playalong thing using only farmables/loginrewards and it'd be the best thing since mac 'n cheese!

This video would have helped me 2-plus years ago when I started playing RAID Shadow Legends. I'm still stuck on some FW stages and haven't gotten my Lydia yet.

[@mrmahga6004]

Absolutely love your content and positive vibes brother! On that, you should be the first to do a mid game strategy guide. I'm almost a year in, I have some pretty amazing Champs (Cardiel was my first pull), but resources and timing get me sometimes. I'm stuck on whether to 6 star another champ or 5 star a few Champs for FW or focus on tournaments, or etc. BTW, I used your initial starter video to get to where I'm at now. Thanks!

[@ASH-RAID]

Thanks man! Glad you like it ;)

I just started RAID, but got really lucky and my cousin gave me an account he used often as an alt, it has all free preomational heroes and stuff, I had ninja and randa on mine but he said I gotchu, lol Its so awesome to see ASH of all people playing this, I used to watch this dude a decade ago when CR (Clash Royale) was so huge.

Raid beginners guide step 1: it's not too late. You can still walk away from this game. There are so many other games where the players are not treated like absolute crap by the devs.

[@maxfreeman818]

I just started playing last month and now I’m obsessed

[@jasonmullinder]

I started the year uninstalling Plarium play from my PC's and Raid from my phone. I have a ton of games on Steam and DRM free, as well as a huge xbox collection, that have been neglected while performing raid chores and getting caught up in the BS. Ive spent and seen that it just gets you in a vicious cycle, I'd rather grind Diablo 3, explore D4, and do the shooters and fighting games that only took one purchase

[@cavedog1279]

Raid has so much depth to its game and can be a bit overwhelming to a brand new player of this genera. I believe this will certainly answer some questions a new player may ask and come back to when they have a second or 3rd question ;)

Thanks for watching ;)

[@robfrydryck127]

Thanks for taking the time to make this. but honestly, this looks more like a job (with no pay) than a game.

[@christianzendejas7938]

Great video! I play this game a lot and just started like a week ago. But I just found out that you can actually play on your pc too. So my question is if I download this game onto my pc do I start by making a fresh account on it or just link it to the account that’s on my phone?

[@donaldg5633]

I get Visix this month. (of course I pulled her already, but whatever) I have all hard modes dungeons completed to level 10 except fire knight (on stage 6). The point is I have passed the "beginner" phase, but man I still love these videos! The long videos I can listen to in the background are always my favorites! Thank you!

[@donaldg5633]

@@Neuvillete4.6 Both really. Mid spender. I get the monthly gem pack and keep the raid card active, but I only ever buy packs when the deal comes up as "Legendary Offer" on the pack calculator. I never buy from the "illegal shop". I've never spent more than $100 in a month. I've been sober since 9/2022 and I put my drinking money to other uses nowadays. The very first leggo I ever pulled was Duchess too. She was a huuuuge carry for sure. So for whatever reason, I've definitely had really good luck.

[@donaldg5633]

@@Sam-uu2nx A bit of both really. I replied my spending habits on Jahlee's comment. I also get way into the math and strategy. I'm a firm believer that tier lists (while highly entertaining) don't matter in reality. Just cause a champ is low on everyone's list, doesn't mean they won't be a rockstar for my account. Tramaria for example. A ton of hate on her, but at the time the speed lead, aoe decrease speed, aoe stun, and full team cleanse was something I didn't otherwise have access too until I pulled her. If that makes sense.

Very good guide Ash. I am not a starter, what am I doing here?

Damm bro you are so bad ass, really appreciate all your content. Thank you for everything you do!

[@user-oy9et1hi5v]

Ty for nice guilde only 1 small error that I noticed in the game saying all nukers need 100 percent crit on the stats, and here you mentioned kayle. He is one of the few you only wanna have to 85 percent crit rate, due to him having 15 percent crit on hits aoe ability which basically is the only one you need crit percentage for.

[@Mechassault_Man]

Thank you for the video, Ash. I've been playing the game for a little over a week and have been grinding the game out a bit. Though I am hitting a wall at the moment of 12-7 on Hard difficulty, and while I have been quickly learning about feeding champions and leveling up my starter, it's not enough. My main question is this; should I grind champions like Warmaiden, Spirithost, etc in the campaign so I can infuse them into each other to upgrade their skills without using tomes? I've been trying to do that with Saurus so I can campaign farm but I'm unclear if it's better to invest in more artifacts for champions first or to improve their skills first. I know to look for both but I'm still wondering on what to prioritize.

[@lindsysomers8228]

I've only been playing for a few months now, and I totally agree, starting out is sooo overwhelming, but now I'm at the point where I'm trying to decide which epic champions to upgrade (because I only have 5 legendary, 3 of which were free), and this is the only channel ive watched with good, relevant, helpful information. And it's not boring or one of those idiots just reading stats. So thank u! If u get a chance, who would u recomend ranking up out of these: Ractor Drath, Alure, Sachi. I have Minaya ans Scyl, so should I bother with Drath?

[@blaba9354]

Quite immediatly. Thats the only honest advice.

[@dcbourne]

This helps with some good principles. As a new player, I would have preferred to see the experiences from a new player point of view with a new roster, and how to work from player level 1 to 10, then 11 to 20, 30 to 40 etc.. I want to see how the game progresses and what to be aware of.

I'm still new, about a month in, so try to bear with me. It's faster though, to just have a single champion with your farmer, if say you just ranked your first champ to 6star and want to get them where they need to be to be level wise in order to be useful... isn't it? I would do that with Elhain when I got her up to 4&5 star. Still working toward that first 6star. Basically, is that really that bad of a time waster if I just want to level up one champion quickly for a specific reason?

[@keozven3147]

I made an account and pulled Harima/Islin/Ronda/Venomage/Frozen Banshee and i bought masteries with the free gems for ronda and banshee and not on my starter and now elhain strugles to farm 12-3 brutal and i have to do in with elhain and islin who do 60 ronda or elhain can elhain do it without masteries?
