I'm happy you feel for us Free To Play man! I've been grinding like crazy for years and also started a common and uncommon ONLY free to play as well. IT'S BRUTAL! 😵

I'm happy to see an experienced content creator recommending the strategy that I used too :) I had pulled Seeker rather early, and he carried my team to Gold 5, together with Elhain & Ninja. Still have Seeker in my Tag Team Arena team. He is invaluable. Make him fast, push turnmeter and slam. I found that against Arbiter teams he is in a disadvantage, but he managed to outrun High Kathun, i.e. 19% speed boosters -- with enough speed on himself.

Man you using seeker brings back memories of starting out and watching you learn arena with seeker and me following the same path. . Seeker taught me who I needed to provoke whether it b revivor or nuker I had trouble with or worse that evil madame seris I hated so much.. seeker is best teacher in arena starting out

Ash is such a good content creator. Almost every video he makes is entertaining.

Hey, this is practically my team. Seeker -> Dhukk -> Nuke -> Survival Nuke Admittedly my nuke is Big Un, and my follow up is Valk, but lots of similarity. #SeekerForTheWin 4:43 Yes, Dhukk is very underrated. he is clutch in so many parts of the game (I think his A3 is one of the most overlooked part's of his kit. But with a near 100% chance on 3 enemies, that is some solid control).

I know there are a lot of content creators for Raid out there and good sources, but Ash is for me the best. For me his humor, compassion and of course great content is the right combination. Thank you for making such awesome content and being you!

Ash looking right at his power and saying 278, twice. Whilst it is actually 678 is thee most Ash thing ever.

I been following Ash since he first started, maybe 5k subs, and his editing has gotten top notch. I not play game much these days but always watch a ASH video.

nice for all the new players, who can now actually progress in the arena. I still remember back when I was rather new. I watched the guides and optimized my ftp team. it was said, that a 220speed lead can get you to gold. but it wasn't even enough for silver. HK got me into silver 1 with 250 speed. after that, it was Arbiter city all the way to gold. no other teams around. meanwhile fights in gold 4 had single champ defences all over the place for easy farming whenever youwatched a recent arema video. fun times for sure

Boost provoke de-buff eliminate. Arena is broken, Ash: Speed is not the meta, also Ash: My ... in Triple speed gear... WHAAAT?

for a completely free to play team, you could use your starter (nuker #1), diabolist or high khatun (speed), war maiden (debuff), and any other nuker that you have on your account for the last spot

Ash farmed my low plat defense today. Thanks brother.

Yeah, saved up for Elhains masteries but didn't know what I was doing at 1st so need an additional 150 gems to reset the few I already set have like 890/910 gems and I'm free to play never paid and on day 28 I think 🤔 but I also spent/wasted alot of gems I shouldn't have lol but it a learning curve and your videos definitely help

My team is Elhain, spirit host, warmaiden, diabolist, (then high khatun). Made it to midway Gold 1 on 65k team score. UDK was a serious wall until I had enough gear to hurt him enough. When I got to Gold I though, I found I was getting less medals than farming silver III. Arena really is a mess with all the wrong incentives for a pvp game

Good Video Ash. I put Vogoth in a shield set and the shielding effect didn't let Vogoths passive activate so i switched him to the healing set.

This method still keeps me in the middle of Gold V...but I don't get the medals as quickly. It used to be Apothecary (257 speed), into Madam Serris (lucky me lol...but I had Dhukk before her), into Magnarr, then Skullcrown (speed lead) on cleanup. This kept me in high Gold IV with a hard push to Gold V at the end of the cycle. Then I pulled Hegemon. So it's Hege, into Serris, into Magnarr, into Skullcrown (speed lead) on cleanup duty. Skullcrown is slowest at 193, Magnarr is 195, Serris is 216, and Hege is 204. I rarely drop to Gold IV at the end of the cycle, if at all...and usually one to two fights puts me right back in before I go do my Clan Boss in the morning lol. It's a well proven recipe, and cool to see someone talking about it.

Hey ash want some advice where do you think my legendary books should go deliana, UDK, chaagur, or scyl

Thanks to this video ash, I got a decent team now even with shitty gears, just use a taurus and zavia rather than 2 nukers but it makes a fast progress, and stag knight makes it better

Thank you for the specified team build! Can do that even though I don't have all the champs: just go with the main idea of what to use is great!

i used to always check enemy power, my total power is only around 660k, but one time I was just in the zone attacking everything trying to beat the clock and i noticed i was beating people double my total power and a few even higher than that. My team power in arena is 105k and i sometimes beat people who are 190k but i usually try to avoid them and take easy fights. if i had to guess i would say its UDK or Thylessia making it possible for me to win those fights. anyways great stuff bro!

If you are in gold 1 or 2 it's aroud 2000 battles for 1 lvl 10 hall 😅😅 welcome to the grind

Love the video, great work. I will say tho “speed farming” your Great Hall may be the biggest oxymoron in the game lol

These are really great videos and the builds are always inspiring. One question: any way you can post a text version of the builds/goals? I know; free-to-play and lazy, right?

Great video Ash! Awesome to see the free to play.

Whew, the "without good gear" part is a vibe because it's looking DICEY out here.

Dang, Ive tried to follow your lead Ash, and im still getting wrecked. I cant get into gold 1. On the cusp but cant seem to make it.

I'm farming silver medals. Nice video as always

The best strategy (for people like me with no life) is just to have patience and only go after all the solo arbiters (or duchess, or lydia, etc) that folks in gold V love to put on defense, I'm level 59 and about to get my first great hall bonus to level 9 just from using all of my tokens every day refreshing and only picking easy fights

Haven'tade it higher than Bronze 4. I have no L60's, 4 L50's, dozens of Level 40's and 30's. 4 Legendaries, about 6 Epics, and almost every Rare. I did build up Armiger, Shield Guard, WarMaiden, Athel, Kael, Elhain. My Rares are overall 70% of the indexed Factions. So I'm deciding who to use and where to use them. Still stuck on normal dungeon stage 10 of most of the Dungeons and I haven't successfully done anything in Doom Tower. or beat the Demon Lord. Slow progress.

Hi, On my very low spender account I got Deacon Armstrong pretty early, just after my high kathun and he's good in his job

New subscriber, new to game, love your content.

Thanks a lot for the guides Ash, and ps Scyl is my favorite champion ✌️

ASH is the man with ENERGY! Great video!

14:55. I hear ya man. The pop ups are RELENTLESS at this point. Its BEYOND INSANE!! I've found that they even crash my game!! So I LITERALLY have to come out of my game. Reload it n then carry on. And THEN the pop up that caused all the trouble pops up!! Grrrr

Hey Ash I just started playing. How old is your f2p? thanks for the vids really useful. I was able to get fellhound early so piling a lot into him

Thank you so much for this video Ash😂😂but can I know the order to go about in the town hall like after accuracy what do I boost next

very very good video like real farm with best champs and gear all player so i respect this

On my acc I use double speed boosters in Shiphi and Arbi into Psylar (aoe decrease speed ) no defense down needed because I’m using a Baron in savage.

Great advice. You are a national treasure my friend.

Where did you get savage gear for ronda?

Have you / will you ever try doing account take overs like other cc’s

I NEEDED THIS SO BAD.

My team is Arbiter,Lyssandra,Madame Serris and Big Un, and i love this team

starting out with Seeker, that I'm looking for for 2 years already....

"Speed farm our ashes off" 😂 Love it

This was great keep the ftp arena tips a coming!

How do I get bronze metals after passing on to the silver level?

I'm a 1 year f2p, got a +2 lyssandra full booked, +1 fu shan full book, +2 septimus, getting lucky on nightmare books I guess. Very unlucky on my legendary pulls all being dupes tho.

Great farming tips for outside of Gold V/Plat. The issue is how quickly GoldV and even Gold IV fills up w/ Siphi +1 teams and Duchess/Tarras/ teams etc.. 🦆the Pierced. or Dhukk! 🤣 not Duck. There's literally "Ronda is OP" vids on this channel and from every CC. / "Ronda is under rated" 🤣

what is the dif between p2p and f2p. is there a subscription i can buy?

so a speed team never brought me above silver3, because there were siting all those Arbiter teams and counter attack teams. I really needed the go second team to get to gold. And even now, my best gear makes my Arbiter 270, and no chance to win a speed race or beat a tank team...

What does your Defense team look like during this process? Can you cover that?

great video! thx for the info

How to get Ronda if I play around 1.5 months and she is not given me as reward as for new player?

how you get ultimate on your current free to play?

I think Plarium has the wrong idea in thinking I’m more powerful than I am. Maybe my focus isn’t focused enough but I can’t seem to get my speed to tune very well. It’s so frustrating especially when the other teams have a bajillion more power than I have…

My Team right now in Gold 2 (Don't ask me how i manage to keep it up there :D) is Deacon Armstrong,, Bivald, Ronda, Spirithost it works really well

Need opinions. I have a 3 star ascended almost fully booked martyr. Would it be worth booking a Valkyrie that I just got over the martyr?

Your ftp account name is Vex Thal? That's some old school eq right there.

Is there a way to build a team that goes last? A high control team, debuff team. The nuke team strategy bores me, I'm just not into making cookie cutter teams.

Should i max the mastery for my Kael or Ronda first?

love it buddy keep going. :)

Lumberjack Ash today :)

the feeling when you rejoined after ronda, ninja and UDK (T-T)

speed set, speed boot, with 20proc crit rate its like gold in f2p

Vex Thal? Someone is an old school EverQuest gamer it seems?

If Ash put more time on this account it'd be so much more advanced honestly. UNM clan boss for one would solve his no book situation. Sure, you never have enough books but honestly you never too many champions you actually want to book either

My Great Hall is EMBARRASSING! I never used gems always waiting for the free refresh. I was Khatun, Madame, Seeker & Skullcrown team power 127K FOREVER, great team! I just got my Arbiter and drew Trunda so now its Khatun, Madame, Arbiter & Trunda, team power 144K. My battles are lasting 3+ minutes and I'm struggling to stay in gold4 and the algorithm giving me teams way out of my league or, maybe I don't have them set up right?

Sooo....how many arena battles do you have to win just to get one to 10/10?

how do you consider this f2p? look at all your shop purchase arena fills in start of video

Hey Ash!! Can I run Genbo, Ronda, Apothecary, and Serris??? Anyone chime in?

Yes!! I want more f2p !

That is the beauty of editing. Six months of arena farming compressed into a 20-minute video.

Speed not the meta when u get to gold v and plat ...so much stone skin, resistance 😞

Ash the man 💫

Love the Content ASH, but there AIN'T nuthing fast about farming medals for the Great Hall.

Hey Ash! First of all, love your content and positive energy, even when calling out Plariums bullshit. But i gotta ask this; Why do you say you "saved up" arena tokens on your f2p when they clearly show as "shop purchase" and are way too many in a row with the same expiration date to be free rewards? These look like classic "mini mix pack" rewards. Just be real with us ;) I've noticed you do the same in your shard opening videos sometimes when it is super obvious that there is no way you have "saved them up" since your last opening video, I think it could give inexperienced players unrealistic expectations on how many shards its possible to get by playing.

So you have hardly anything but somehow had at least 2 of those Epics pretty much booked out somehow?

That F2p is so lucky..Tormin, kymar, seeker etc etc sad he dont play it :D

278k ........278.......not 678

Wait... Account FTP Level 55 and you already have all those Epic champions and even ultimate Deathknight?!!!! How is that possible??? I litetally play all day (I work from home so I have my pc on next to my desk and I'm always grinding) and I only have Ronda and 2 epics and I know it is Hard to get Deathknight so I feel like something doesn't add up man my acct is lvl 44 and I've been playing less than a month (leveled up daat due to playing all day tbh)

how on earth do you accidentally replace a 6 with a 2 in that power xD

Great video Ash, can you do video for tag team arena because I trying to get to silver 1

I stopped at 1:48 when you mentioned Seeker. Not everyone has Seeker, you know...

ive been playing for 1.5 months and have not hit gold in classic or silver in tag team dont see this possible as FTP, especially when team full of Legos

I slacked on my GH for way too long, about a year and a half in and only one level 10

I love how just after you said that you didn't want to spend all your gems, they dropped to 435 😂

I've been on an extremely long break from Raid. I was always in Gold iv but now I've dropped down to Bronze I but i can't beat a single team no matter who i use. All the teams are top tier 300k+ teams. My best team is 288k. Most of the time I can't even kill a single champion on my opponents team. It's impossible. Doesn't matter if i refresh the teams are like top tier Platinum teams completely blocking any chance of progression. Is this a glitch? How can teams this overpowered be in Bronze I? It wasn't like this a year ago when I was playing Raid. What happened to this game?

Free to play from a pay to win at real time! Love it!

How you get different arena background

Rhonda rocks

I'm FTP and been playing for a while. I see arena teams that are 250k, 300k in power in gold 5. How do you get that? My champ are max level with masteries and fully booked but top out at 180k. Not all my gear is 6 star but they are all at least 5 star and max level. What am I missing?

Look at myteam it sucks! Literally the best team I've ever seen in my life

I want skull crown soooo bad for so long

2 things buddy….1st you should have Seeker in the 2nd spot on that team, where you currently have Ronda at for his passive to be used optimally. 2nd….for the love of everything, have your damage dealers at 100% crit! It’s not hard! Use HellHades optimizer, and you can set speed or any perimeters you want, and ALWAYS have 100% crit and max damage gear found in like 10secs!

6:17 , umm, 678k??

Ashhh let’s go

after 3+ year of palying i stil dont have Seeker or many other good characters, legendaries even worse ...

Ronda neutralizes ultimate death knight...

I'm just over one month in, I'm in gold 5, and all I see is speed aura leads, lol and they're all faster than me. :(
