To the players who leave their defense teams as level 1 chickens, you da real MVP. If everyone did this, we'd all be in Gold 4. You gain more points from wins than you lose from losses.

Ash I gotta say... your the best Raid youtuber out there IMO. I just started this game, iv ben playing a lil over 2 weeks now and hit 2 mil on easy clan boss with Kael doing half my dmg ...And I pulled my first apothecary out of a mystery shard on the last pull of a x10.. I was so stoked it felt like a legendary because of your videos because I'm comeptly FTP , and iv learned from ur vids that him and coldheart are prolly the 2 best rares in the game. I can't wait to lvl him up and put him on my team. Thank you so much for your vids. Keep em coming there the best!

I have to say I have been waiting for a video like this. I have been trying to build my team as the team who can take the hit then kill the other after a few rounds. Thanks for all the info you have helped me out more than u know! THANK U!

really like the detailed commentary on your thought process facing each team. Not too long, and the thoughts on how to win while going second are valuable. great video thanks for posting

The most important thing to have that will make a difference in battles is a well rounded and comprehensive knowledge base. Knowing exactly what the opposing champions are capable of is huge.

Dude solid vid! I'm trying hard with arena at the moment. Been watching your content on raid since I started, easily my favourite source of information on this game

Thanks Ash, was super helpful. I followed the tips and started winning way more often than I was.

Ive been using that method to farm gold 3&4 with arbiter, hegemon, warlord, and trunda. Also glad you didn't cut tag team match part. Always good info and my fav content creator. 👍

Great video. One of your best, I'd say. It's interesting how these strategies apply to every arena level. I'm in bronze 3 in tag team and I do mostly the same: immunity set-speed team, shield set-defensive team and a speed team with safety valves in Seeker and Skullcrown.

Thanks, this is useful :)

Awesome Vid Ash, keep up the great work mate

Great content. I speed up the playback on Ash’s vids to 1.25. He speaks clearly and you can get a lot of info in a short amount of time. All about that efficiency you know. Ash, can you make a vid on how to do different specs on duplicate/multiple S and A tier champions? I have a couple Tayrel’s, Soulbond Bowyer’s and 3 Kael’s but cannot justify the dupes for food or books.

I love videos like this. I'm trying to build a defensive team to fight in arena but I'm still losing to many fights. But great video and looking forward to seeing more.

Good video! I’ve been checking player account power ever since you mentioned it in a video long ago! Good stuff! Have you changed anything on Scyl since your previous 2 videos on her? She destroyed that team!

I always go to ur channel when I have questions and it always helps thank u man

When you realise that you open only mystery shards everyday and you never have the chance to have those characters as a f2p player.

I like the longer videos...you don't need to apologize for 1) doing your job and 2) helping us out at the same time.

Thanks. This helps. I could never figure out why some teams go first and by the time I even get a chance to go, two of my champions are gone and the two left have half life left.

Long videos are better get to seeore of end game since we are not end game players. It's so hard for free to play but still enjoy all the info you give. Every piece of information u say I lock it in my brain even all the littlest side piece information u just when u just pull shards or realize something about the game when your doing something else. Everything u say is so valuable to new and mid game players. Love your love of the game to man. Much respect.

I'm stuck on the reach silver I in arena mission and I got it right after the reach bronze III mission which I struggled a fair bit to get to as a new player at level 31 on the account... Thanks to you I'm progressing pretty fast and at least in a sort of right direction but If I'm lucky I get 1 or 2 fights I can win every 15 minutes while I get listed with players with much higher level and better champions. It's quite frustrating how the system works.

Love hearing about your thought process. I've learnt a lot from watching you.

Really enjoying the recent videos. Very applicable. Thanks for the content.

Great video man, i really like your videos! They are very informative and i learn a lot about the game from you. First of all, i really like this game. But the Arena as a whole really puts me off as a free to play player. Even down at the lowest rank it's so frustrating to trying to progress as free to play when u see accounts at the minimum level to access the arena, with several legendary champions and a team power double or sometimes triple my teams power, making it virtually impossible to beat those teams as a free to play. And it's not 1 or to accounts, its sometimes the entire refresh list full of these teams. And the worst part about this shit, is that F2P players cant progress the missions as it requires us to hit certain thresholds that are blocked by P2win players in the arenas... I wonder how on earth they came up with such a bad matchmaking system. I could probably have played this game forever just for fun, but i'm quickly realizing just how futile it is. I like games that challenge my ability to gradually improve in skill, and being cockblocked by people that don't have the same skill lvl as myself just because they paid for power just feels shit.

Big help! Tanks... and planes.

Nothing new to me in this video, but it's good to hear again, and I like your style. Subscribing.

Mr Ash is hyped today! Haha, good tips :) Greetz from Silver II...

Love your videos ash! You’re the best👍

HI Ash, great video, not sure if you have an update version of it, but if not, i would love to see one where you also advice on the newer sets and how it impact arena in general.

When you build a champion for nuking what mind set do you have. Do you start with sets first or do you just go for stats and set is a bonus?

I need some advice. Should I focus on finishing the great hall missions or focus on upgrading the rest bc I currently only have everything to level 2 except for ones I’ve upgraded for missions.

I loved this video, thank you

Didn't mind the lenght tbh, another great video 🍻

I am a new and Free to play player on day 19. My current arena team is Kael lv50, Warmaiden lv30, Diabolist lv30 and Warpriest lv 30. All fully ascended with gear focused on speed and accuracy. I did put a shield set on Warpriest. With this team so far i am able to farm bronze 3 and i am able to kill team who has up to 10k more power that my team.

Thanks for the advice!

hey there i hit up hell hades on this too i dont have the cash to blow on this game and so my champ pool is pretty small. please please please do a rowan guide ik she isnt the greatest of all time but you and hades are the peeps i watch and really enjoy all your content. dont wanna go elsewherel. you guys are like barbers once u got one you like you never stop going. if you ever catch yourself looking for a vid feel free to make as long vid you want on her xd. speaking of i listen to your videos while i play alot so its actually a blessing to have long vids. your very high energy and entertaining so even if it dosnt pertain to me im at best a mid tier silver for instance idc or think ill ever reach gold or plat anytime soon but still love watching the vids on it. idk if that makes sense but either way love the content love the vids keep doing what ya do to make our days fun asf watching them

LOVE THE LONG VIDS!!!

hey ash! can you give us some insight on which dwarves to use for faction wars?

Showing the tag team was dope

@ Ash your videos are really helpful according to the comment sections. I'm fairly new to the game (4mo in) i do however feel that you only talk about Champions that are impossible to get. I have seen your Coldheart vid and other rare champs you recommend. That said do you have a video on how to farm arena without a legendary completely booked, team?

Great VIDEO

Wow this is a game changer for me thanks

I LOVE the shield set!! Got it on my Zelotah and that keeps my guys alive til he gets to put his shield buff on them. And he’s not even in the best gear! Can’t wait to see what his shields look like when I get 6* legendary gear 😂

Have you done a Maulie spotlight yet? Saw her in BEST & UNDERRATED LEGENDARY video but would always appreciate the deep dives into her masteries and gear. Still need to book my Maulie (Frost gear, focused on accuracy and speed) though.

I've been using shield lately since the last video about it. I'm lovin it😀 helps out so much. I want madam sarris so badddddd or stag knight. Those debuffs are so brokennn

Hopefully this new hot fix with arena helps progression not only in tiers but great hall and missions.

I run a bargain bin version of the team at 12:33. Skullcrown, Serris, Umbral Enchantress, and Apothecary for speed boost. The Provokes can be huge against something like a Rotos. No legendaries but void shards have clearly been friendlier to me than most other F2Ps (I got Umbral from a Fusion though). When I get the masteries finished on Skullcrown I will make another attempt to reach Silver 3 and get that damn mission out of the way

This was helpful thanks

I'm new . I like when you show what your talking about.

Will this work if you do not have a Defensive style champ like Scyl or Miscreated Monster?

Everything's coo Ash!

Now I thought about this but how do you know whether the champions a1, a2 etc. is very low?

weird number of negative comments. I found this helpful for all of my accounts. And don't worry about the length... good info is more important than a guide being short.

Ash, your videos is the only thing gives me hope to stay in this game before I gtg to WoW Shadowlands. I just realize the monthly sub in RSL is the same for that Whole PC game, thats nuts xD

I think undead faction could benefit from having buffs activate when dead, like a passive that activates only when knocked out. Doesn't have to be big. A sort of nice way to break the rules. "This character while dead provides +15% when killed, and a continuous +5% total for every turn after. " Or something like that to play around with the idea that they are dead anyway and that nothing is truly dead when looking at that faction.

Awesome advice

There needs to be a channel that speaks to those of us who don't have 100 6* to choose from. Or don't pay thousands of dollars for gear and Champs... You're speaking Chinese to me cause I can't even get out of bronze tier and I have a 6* kael, granted I don't have great gear or the knowledge of what gear to equip on them all... It would be cool to see a guide like this but for absolute beginners. Love the vids tho... ✌🏼

Hello I'm new to the game and have my defense set. But how do I change out the team I battle with, not the defense?

i enjoy tag team stuff 💪😁

two days ago I saw you in gold 2 and it caught my attention xD

Big fan of your work! Im a free to play player, i was thinking of setting up a team, 1 team of voids, pain keeper, captain terila, madame serris, cold heart, reliquary tender. Its gonna take awhile, so i was wondering if you could show us how strong they are

Yo ash! Long time subscriber. Ive been working on my great hall. But ive been upgrading it w acc first as my gear lacks. Should I be doing what your saying anyway?

good tips

Arena is the worst part of the game and it's the reason why I quit it for a few months (came back to check out the forge and adv quests). The difficulty keeps INCREASING while GH prices and arbiter quest does not get updated. Half a year ago i was comfortable in gold 2, now I barely hold on to silver 2 even tho my power has grown since that! And I'm not even F2P! How is this considered balanced? They made it even WORSE now since you lose rank much faster as Ash mentioned in the beginning. Fully geared and stat-optimized teams of 4 legos are all over the silver arena. The most of the playerbase are in bronze and silver, I can see it on my clan. So GH is pretty much locked for the majority of players unless you go full fucking whale mode

where do you see angar lands? i have him and use him and he seems to be good but i never hear anything about him.

I don't have enough speed resources .. but I counter that with shields from Thenasil and Seeker .. and Seeker also increased defense in Arena by 30% ... so I can usually take the first speed hits from the opponent

I’m in bronze 3 and I’m coming up against god tier teams compared to mine, I don’t think the game should be like this 😅

Thanks Ash.

How about mid level? I'm 31 so what's the best combo team to work it to the best of my abilities

My usual team is Arbiter, Warlord, Trunda and Tormin. A lot of my battles end up with just Warlord and Tormin taking down the entire enemy team. It's a fun comp tho, despite there being no decrease defense champ. Maybe once I get Abbess up, I'll throw her in.

16:18 wow, didn't know you could do that xDDDD

Ash: try to use your arena tokens so they can refresh. Also Ash: grossly over energy cap

Duchess Lilitu saves my ass constantly! High Khatun speed and TM boosts, the Duchess has the inc ATK, block debuffs, and Veil, Warmaiden does the dec DEF, and, until I get a better, Kael nukes. When someone is faster, an all DEF Duchess just holds it together.

Arena is working a bit odd right now. If you are in Bronze/Silver and you refresh 3-4 times it will give you a page full of common/uncommon champ teams you can blitz through with zero effort and easily climb several ranks. Was able to get from Bronze II all the way up near Silver III today and finished the 30/50 silver medal challenges/missions.

So basicly ASH ask most of the top player to strengthen their arena defend so that f2p player like me can't even climb to to silver.....Lol

I thinking about hk lead fast team. It is enough for silver? 😅

I've been playing for about a year now and can't even hit silver 2 lmao!!! I'm 100% free to play though so I only have like 3-5 legos... I got so lucky on pulling Champs. I've only gotten Legos from ancient shards and I've done tons of double times events too... 🙃🙃🙃

Great video Ash. Did you say they fixed arena plat cheating ?!?!? :)

My problem is that I'm still having the issue of being matched with people with legendary champions when I'm still a beginner. There's no way I can get progress if I'm having difficult match ups.

I'm in gold 4 without a speed lead I use miss created monster 33%hp aura lead with a sheild set with jack at 96k hp serris in immunity and rotos if I go against hegi or the frozen gimli I have an immunity trunda that I switch out with jack I'm about 15 missions away from arbiter!

What's his second channel plus can u please make beginner content too I'm just watching wondering when I'm going to start using his tips

Do you know good synergies for "stall" teams? My defense team is designed not to win, but to take so long to beat people just avoid me. Roscard the Tower lead in shield set, Doompriest (for heals and removing debuffs), Mausoleum Mage (block debuffs) and Scyl (stun set).

Sir.. can u make a guide on HOLLOW from the undead hordes.... PLZ

I burn up gems and find skads of punks to own. It brought me to gold and has kept me there for a bit

Over all team power don't mean anything I even lose to a new player at lvl 46 so what that tells you now look at the speed gear or being sold in the shop.

Does anyone have some insight for my cb team? I have a ton of decrease atk debuffs and was wondering which champs to replace... currently I’m using Vizier Ovelis. Kael. Crypt King Graal. Tayrel and Reliquary Tender

Have you done a All Rare team? because i would very much like to see that.

Can you please do a guide on angar in arena and fire knight

Plarium's Arena is broken and getting worse all the time and they don't care. No one except whales will be farming those gold medals anymore. Don't bother trying unless you buy a lot of speed sets and shards to get Arbiter or Lyssandra. Recently, I just boosted my top champ's speed 20 points up into the 290s. That was enough to get me back into Gold 1 for 2 weeks. Now, I'm getting regularly beaten on speed by Silver 4 teams and will probably be demoted to Silver 3 again.

New to the game. I noticed that I would have to stay in the bronze tier for ever to get all the medals i need to fill those great hall slots. My question is if I go to silver before completing bronze is there a conversion from my silver to bronze medals so I don't have to stay in bronze tier my whole life?

Idk how it happened because you typed it correctly in the description but I believe the word youre looking for is efficiently :x

goat

I haaaaatttte the provokes

I see that this is an older vid, so maybe Plarium has changed things again, but my friends and I keep running up against teams that are WAY bigger than we are. We're all F2P or small spenders, and an example of what I'm talking about would be a 108 power tag team, and all our choices for battles are things like 145, 346, 512 and things like that, with the occasional team of level 1's. I've read that *player* power has something to do with their algorithm and that keeping champs in your vault (for example the ones you need to fuse in the portal) count towards that total, even if you're not using them for anything but fusing. Which seems like B.S. to me, but I don't make the rules... is there a way to work around that? Actually, let me rephrase that, because I KNOW there is - because of it's counterpart problem... The other thing we see is a single, fully leveled and ascended champ at level 60, say an Arbiter or a Miscreated Monster or any number of others I could list, with a *listed* power of something ridiculous like 12k.... yet they devastate!! I mean one shot entire teams. I'm sure if I spent hours on end reading reddit and watching content vids, someone would eventually address it, but I'm hoping to get a quick and simple answer so we can progress in Arena sooner rather than later. And honestly, with several accounts I keep up on school days, I simply don't have the time to hope I hit the right vid eventually. So, two pronged problem, with a seemingly united root cause. Suggestions? All help appreciated, you are by far my favorite R:SL content creator to date, and I love the clarity and F2P friendliness with which you create your videos. Thank you.

ey Do a vid on Robar dude

I cant upgrade trunda enough to make her hit so Hard!!! Please help

I'm not fast enough for arena. My arbiter is only 317. I lose the speed race 60 percent of the time.

your mountain king has the same power as my arena team.

yeh as free to play i just dont have the toons to compete barely silver 1 in classic

As a level 70 account trying to get the arbiter challenge done, grinding the arena is almost impossible. Everyone has a speed defense thats still faster than my fastest speed lead and every offense attack is a risk in who is faster. I almost NEVER see anyone with 1 champ defenses and not everyone has time and money to be grinding constantly because of work and having a life. Very frustrating experience

How does this workd now when everyone past bronze 2 has 150k+ power?
