Who's the BEST Defensive Nuker?! (Results Will SHOCK You!)

[@tomdoritos3568]

Props to ash for spending millions to switch gear around during a no "free regear"😅

[@gh0std3lta84]

I’m sure he makes enough off this video to get one of them juicy silver packs

[@cgsweat]

There was a free regear just a few days ago. He doesn't record these videos the same day he posts them.

[@tomdoritos3568]

​@@cgsweat2:50 he starts with 4 million silver 5:30 he has 500k silver By the end of the video he has 30k silver..

[@ASH-RAID]

Thanks for tuning in ;)

[@speachless88]

If Ash was thrifty he would domthis during a regear or on the test server but we all know Ash doesn't care about 🤑

[@nightking4132]

This is a good idea.. but i don't think "HELMSMASHER" is the right mastery for this specially if you are testing only 1 time.. bec. sometimes helmsmasher won't proc bec. it has only 50% chance and for that reason it sometimes give out less damage.. if you are testing hero damage with only 1 round, better use the "CRIT DAMAGE" mastery for that scenario... Fair and square..

[@tracematson385]

agreed. plus helicath got cheated because the weaken wasnt landed on siphi

[@1220skilletfan]

Weaken wasn't on marichka for the harima test either

[@tracematson385]

@@1220skilletfan i didnt catch that, good eye

[@johnF7151]

So wait tho. Are you saying it did proc for Souless? I didn't think so

[@ChristopherJomenAngkolToper]

Agreed. It should be tested three or five times to ensure a sufficient sample size, and tier six mastery should be flawless execution for consistency.

[@BanXxX69]

Not gonna lie: You had me fucking hyped up with your announcer-voice❤😂👌🏽

[@cacophonic7]

Oh man Ash, this video was fantastic! Props to you and your editor man, I just love your stuff. I’d love to see more head to head comparisons like this.

[@superscott165]

This video was one of your most fun so far! You could tell you were having a good time and so was I. Great way to present the information. As always, appreciate ya!

[@ASH-RAID]

Thanks man! Glad you like it ;)

[@camaro42JR]

I really wish that next time you use flawless execution or something instead of helmsmasher. Yes helm is better for nuker; however, theres a chance it doesnt activate which i think really can allow some damage to be better than other since its kot guarenteed to activate with each champ. Love the videos. Been a fan since as long as i can remember. Keep up the great things and work you do Ash 🙏🏽

[@douglasdarling7606]

Except you have four opponents and one of those opponents it's going to show the damage from it 99.99% of the time

[@coleballenger4595]

6:50 You did my man dirty with that voice lol 😂 Really great video. I'll tell you what, I didn't expect Staltus to be that high up but *damn* if Souless wasn't impressive.

[@ASH-RAID]

Thanks for tuning in ;)

[@tgbelmas]

aw man, i hope that was fun to make, because it was fun to watch. Props to the editor as always

[@mikeunderwood659]

When you tested Helicath and Harima, there was a Weaken missing on one of the enemy champs, so not a fair test, I’m afraid. The fact Helmsmasher isn’t guaranteed to proc also makes it an unfair test based on just a single try of each champ. If you do more of these, please make sure the Decrease Defence and Weaken have both landed on everyone, and do at least five tries with each champ. Then take the highest for each champ as the final amount. I’m sure Harima would’ve been, at the very least, second, if not first, if tested under the above conditions.

[@KingTekniquez]

We need a guide on iron twins from the new players to the end game. Breaking down the tactics of the fight and what to and not to do! Would be awesome to see you make a guide on this!

[@stoapfalzrunden4150]

Agreed. I am at stage 5 or 6 with brute force but I could use some guidance. Especially if you don’t have a block damage champ like Helicath.

[@KingTekniquez]

@@stoapfalzrunden4150 I'd like to see a guide for anything other than the typical "Teams". I've seen things about prosecutor where he's supposedly good for iron twins and he's a rare. Almost every video about it revolves around a few teams.

[@ASH-RAID]

Thanks for the suggestion ;)

[@gamingextreme87]

Soulless requires enemies to have debuffs to do that kind of damage. Quite often in arena the enemy cleanse or are protected and his damage sucks compared to harima etc in the same spot.

[@kieranklein2527]

Soulless did get to double dip in damage. but the ole guy never gets used so I'm ok with him getting the win 🤣

[@ShaynePatton]

Really like this one. The fight announcing was kinda fun too. I really like the exact (gear, opponent, & masteries) comparison.

[@ASH-RAID]

Thanks man! Glad you like it ;)

[@JoeLeasure]

You put so much showmanship into these videos, I love it, lol.

[@ASH-RAID]

Thanks man! Glad you like it ;)

[@NierYdrasil]

Great video! Maybe try attack based or HP based next. Since everyone should have Rathalos now, id like to see him in a line up, as a newer player (I started this account Jan. 6th, 2024) he is definitely my hardest hitting champ. mine has 4208 attack, 96% crit rate and 213 crit damage atm.

[@ASH-RAID]

[@genzowakabayashi2766]

[@scjeepHO]

I love this one. I wish you would have done Staltus A3 as well just to compare it with his A2 and against the others and then Harima using her A2 like people would likely do in game. Although I don't have a Harima.

[@RobertOrtiz1015]

[@ASH-RAID]

Congrats! Thanks for tuning in ;)

[@paghDaemon]

I have only Harima from these (yet), but I would love a Helicath and Staltus too. And preferably all of them of course, but primarily those two. The real surprise for me wasn't that Soulless won, but that Ragash didn't perform better.

[@Lightmonkey83]

Which stat is better for damage - 8k def and 330cdmg or 7k def and 360cdmg?

[@stephenglogoza6423]

I use soulless on my nightmare hydra team, in relentless, with duchess, geomancer, uugo, royal guard all in relentless. His A3 extends debuffs and provokes. This keeps hp burn on all heads for geos passive. His A2 triple hits and removes buffs as well as provoke. Don't know why he's not used more in hydra teams. I don't have any OP damage dealers except husk and rg. I do around 100 mil damage with that team. Gotta add my 420 speed kimi only one not in relentless but at that speed doesn't matter lol

[@docwash3921]

More of these please I had Souless in the vault and was using Ragash!

[@PatchesRNG]

Excited to see video, just finished ragash during the champ training and pulled soulless during the champ chase so hey good to know who deserves the gear lol.

[@jffgvzla]

Kudos Ash, amazing and entertaining video. I would like you to continue with other non traditional nukers ( Single Target nukers, HP nukers, Bomb nukers etc.) before going with the "traditional" attack nukers. Maybe next time , contact another CC. to put a whole Void Def on the Test Server before going to town to save the silver, LOL. You can even do a collab with said CC. This thing can be a series (that´s why it is better on the test server lol) PS: Gala for Single Target nuker, pls.

[@briancooper2948]

I would like to see a nuke off for more attainable champs like Rares or Epics - as always entertaining and informative

[@cindysimko2954]

Who would have thought Souless takes the crown! Very fun...like how you matched everything up for all the battles.

[@mantism.d.8363]

It's irrelevant. Harima is still like 5 x better in Live. Her damage gets much better in long fights, and her passive is possibly the most broken PvP passive in the game.

[@ASH-RAID]

Thanks for tuning in ;)

[@lamesandfn9693]

loved the video. there's only one problem: you seemingly didn't test every nuker multiple times to have a good average and even out the helmsmasher rng

[@stephenkay8607]

Pulled both soulless and ragash last night, who would you recommend building more?

[@raccoon_gooch]

the best nights are always the night of an ASH upload

[@ASH-RAID]

Thanks for watching ;)

[@killerja3]

that line made me check my screen lol

[@xHellkite]

Awesome content as always ash. But if this was helmsmasher, then i think you should do a couple of rounds per champ as it doesn't always proc. Souless most probably got a proc vs the entire hence the huge damage difference. Regardless, Im glad the void champion won the nuke off. Keep it coming! :)

[@aspviper6833]

Rad af video. It was a fun time. Of course I feel like you did my long time buddy ragash a little dirty by not overloading defence to utilize his passive better. But its fair. I'm not salty. Fun video

[@ASH-RAID]

Thanks man! Glad you like it ;)

[@johnF7151]

Entertaining for sure bruv. I had a suggestion tho. You should do a winner for champion guides you've done for each year. To kinda pick the best of the best

[@ASH-RAID]

Thanks for the suggestion ;)

[@yung621king]

I feel like this test was a good indicator of most of their DMG, but after rewatching, Staltus' true DMG wasnt really showcased because he has a 2 hitter AoE and 3 of the enemies died on the 1st hit. if you take the dmg on those 3 and x2 youd get almost another 300k DMG which would bring him a lot closer to soulless

[@bcherry8953]

You should watch the video to the end. He mentions that he doubles the damage on the hits that killed the enemy in one hit.

[@RickHunter512]

Very cool video Ash, I found it very entertaining. Also being a Status owner, I'm happy he came in 2nd place. But didn't think that Soulless would be top spot. It might be interesting to find out which champion does the most pure attack damage also. Thanks for the video.

[@ASH-RAID]

Thanks for tuning in ;)

[@Saltheart_Foamfollower]

Thoroughly entertaining and informative. Next time stick an extra 90 seconds on the end explaining a few mitigating factors (such as how Soulless scales) to make the video el perfecto. Who am I kidding, this video already was el perfecto.

[@ASH-RAID]

Thanks man! I added Gurgoh to my guide list ;)

[@cyriszx]

You're missing Visix in this list . People tends to overlook but she surprisingly does alot of damage . Not on the scale of Souless ofcourse but she deffinetly can be your DEF based nuker if you got no one else. While everyone is different and very good in their own way I have to say my favorite is Ragash. He's a perfect DEF nuker In my eyes. Not only he brings tons of damge but also utility especally in Live arena , also he doesn't need DEF booster like Siphi since he will place DEF after using A1 so pairing him with something like Cardiel or Nekhret is very strong combo . NOT to mention Stun increase DMG on enemies with lower DEF than his and decrease DEF on A2 . Only thing that massively fks im over is Sheep. But that thing pretty much screws everyone who has any form of debuff in it's kit.
