I feel like a few rares should have been on this list. Frozen Banshee for one, one of the strongest clan boss damage dealers, regardless of rarity. Heiress, used in many clanboss teams. Valerie is good too, small shields and heals, but a buff extension. Painkeeper, also used in many clanboss teams. Some other usable rares that aren't top tier: - Hyria, ally attack with 2 allies, and a 3 time hitter with 50% chance of poison. - Chaplain, single target cleanse and a really solid AOE heal. - Mother superior, good early game healer. - Marked, AOE increase def as well as 1 turn block debuffs. - Turgorr, not great, but a chance at a Basher-like ability - Berserker, 20% def ignore on an AOE - Ruffstone, a rare version of a basilisk. - Ogryn Jailer, slams with single target attacks. - Gear Grinder, rare reviver with some small heals. - Bogwalker, super early game clan boss champion - Metalshaper, 2 turn shield on a 2 turn cooldown, granted a small one. - Haruspex, rare reviver, also turn meter and small increase speed. - Fleshmonger, like Athel, but instead of an A1 weaken, an AOE decrease def on the A3. - Greybeard, self shield and counterattack, alongside a good provoke A1. - Ironclad, potential rare nuker, also a small cleanse. - Diabolist, turn meter specialist among rares. - Marquess, hardest hitting rare - Abyssal, AOE A1 with block buffs, some heal and some small versions of buffs. - Grinner, great rare reviver with a chance of an AOE increase attack on the A1. - Doomscreech, still one of the best set-up champions for defense-based nukers with a 30% turn meter fill. - Seducer, AOE block debuffs for 2 turns on a 4 turn. - Judge, rare version of Kantra the cyclone, chance of all kinds of debuffs. - Spirithost, AOE cleanse, AOE increase attack as well as a speed aura. - Paragon, 2 turn unkillable on a 2 turn cooldown. Executioner, AOE decrease turn meter and speed, also a counterattack buff, which pairs with his A1 stun. - Coffin Smasher, decrease attack on A1, HP burn on A2 as well as a passive that reduces all AOE damage taken. - Guardian as a tank in Hydra. - Daywalker as a very confused niche nuker. - Avir the alchemage, turn meter and heal, some small debuffs and a poison A1. - Master butcher, provoke on A1 and A2, heals all allies equal to damage he takes, and then a full HP ally revive on his passive! - Bulwark, A1 small weaken, A2 HP burn, passive that increases duration of all debuffs when hit - Odachi, block debuffs for 1 turn on a 3 turn, as well as an AOE with shield on himself. - Fanatic, AOE increase attack and a small cleanse, decrease DEF on his A1.

I highly recommend "The Expanse", every episode was amazing, best series i have seen since breaking bad for me

Hi Ash. Nice list, personally love doing lists too. One thing I can't wrap my head around - and I've seen this from a bunch of content creators - is how undervalued Riho Bonespear is. She's definitely on my top 15 Leggo list, I would swap her for Lady Kimi on your list. She's amazing in boss fights with her laundry list of debuffs, the heal/cleanse/block debuffs is absolutely game changing and her passive is absolutely amazing, especially for go-second arena teams. If you don't have the speed to go first in Arena then Lady Kimi becomes a liability on your team, but Riho is your saviour. She basically allows you to ignore Hegemon lock out teams, bouncing that debuff back to the source. Build her fast and she cleanses the rest of your team and away you go. She lacks a little bit in wave-clearing, especially high end doom tower hard - but mostly that's all Seer teams anyways. In every other type of content she shines in my book. Most content creators give her A+ ratings, but not S tier and I just don't get it. One other point - I would have tied Dhukk and Stag Knight on the epic list. Love this type of content, keep it coming!

I don't know about other people but Helicath is definitely on my personal list. I went from 3 key brutal to 3 key UNM in roughly 7 days. He enabled me to farm dungeons 4 levels higher across the board and I've been getting blue shards practically every day now thanks to UNM. I can only picture a handful of other champions doing the same for me, but it could take years to pull them. So glad I gritted my teeth and went for the fusion despite being early game F2P.

So happy you included dark kael, he's sped up my dungeon runs by minutes! So valuable

ive only been playing raid for about 4 months . ive started watching some raid content so i can become more knowledgeable and this is my first comment on said videos . i just wanted to thank you for how thoroughly you go over things, i am still learning all the jargon and you speak 80 miles an hour, but i appreciate these videos . i like how you have little funny clips and witty fun parts but you also know a LOT and i am becoming loyal to you as a leader and my first raid teacher . because of you ive started seeing boozor and hellhades in my algorithms from clicking videos through you, so i thank you for also opening up these creators to me . sorry if this is too long . -TRiG* ( PissedRedhead in game )

I was excited to see Nekmo. I was able to grab him, and put him directly in to my hydra team. He did almost as much damage as geo, and has way more utility. Is also speed lead on tag arena.

YUR STILL HERE!! i havent checked u out for a while good to see you still bangin it out!

I just got into this game a week ago and I love it. Thanks for the list of champions .

All of my lvl 60's and maxed out characters tell a little story, dracomorph being the very first, i dont know why but leaving him in a relentless set as well as maxed out is hilarious to watch. septimus all maxed out too, carried me through lots of the pesky campaign levels when i was still early on. Basher is kind of my funny arena nuker right now, and hes got a fully built cardinal next to him the whole time. lanakis the chosen has been my fireknight helper. and i just got done building Genbo, who is also hilarious to stick next to Basher in arena.

Chaagur is my current favorite, soloing content without Regen gear and useful essentially anywhere in the entire game. Perfect control with great general debuffs.

My favorite epic this far is Achak... never see her on any list but is awesomeness Ice, Hp burns, Block debuffs, Strengthen, Decrese buffs, Decrease turn meter...Increase turn meter and passive heals with 25% def in all battles aura. I take her everywhere!

I frankly always like the ranking videos... Mostly just updates of which rares to burn or so since I mostly just keep rares that at least have one AOE. Oh and for TV shows, I personally recommend Ted Lasso and Arcane. The Boys as well but that isn't for everyone. It's visceral and incredibly brutal.. But kinda great

whoever edits these deserves a raise. immaculate comedic timing.

I love ranking vids, maybe it’s the competitive aspect of it

I need a list of all the rares I can use as food without guilt.

Your the man ash I love your videos you’ve helped me out so much on my raid journey I appreciate you so much never stop what you’re doing you make the best raid content

Lmao I forgot how funny your videos was just got done watching your best share opening video ever. I love how you stop and talk about how these champs have benefited you. Thanks ash for some great videos.

2:02 the real beginning of the video

I enjoy your ranking vids. Lol. I tend to do the same. Keep them coming broski! Lol

I looove that ‘i know what i have to do but i dont know if i have the sstrength to do it’

Keep on keepin on Ash. Have fun

Ash I watched a thread of your yesterday where you were showing your worst 10 champions in the game. One in particular surprised me. Woad-Painted. I have her and use her quite a lot in different areas. I have her artifacts a one Speed set Weapon and boots, the remainder are Avenging. With a ring HP, Amulet Defense. Masteries Offense and Support. Only partly filled down to level two.I have not booked her at all as of yet. At present she is only at level 46. I think that she is better than people think.

Very cool video, Ash! I just pulled 2 Geomancers!

I am so happy you included Demytha she has really helped me

Athel is my starter ( in beta and still one of my go to rares) I like Ashwalker a lot! Kael ok but as soon you get Dark Kael......🙃🙃, Spymaster, Lambibur, Cagebound, Veteran, ..... a lot awesome rares dude

My first Lego was Brogni, made my account better in everything and did not know how good he was until I started to get into raid. Insane champ

I pulled Gala and Fatts early. Fun and great duo! And then I pulled Uugo. Jackpot. I don't have any 60s yet, ugh, food farming. Never even occured to me to put stun gear on Elhain. Neat idea.

Thank you for that video!

Since you mentioned The Sopranos I'd like to recommend Mr Inbetween: a different show that still touches on a similar topic; the underground world of organized crime. It takes place in Australia and follows a hitman who tries to balance ordinary life with his "work" more or less successfully. It has a more "realistic" vibe to it but with lots of dark humor to balance it up. A bit of a slow burner in the beginning but it really picks up so stick with it. I'd also like to thank you for your entertaining and informative videos while I'm here dropping a comment. Keep up the good work!

NEKMO is godlike, an insane powercreel on lysandra tbh. they're different enough due to her exhaustion ability but i would trade them all day, nekmo is a god

Check out Sandman, Ash, if you liked American Gods then you’ll probably like this series too. If you’ve never seen American Gods I’d highly recommend checking that out as well, both are really cool series.

I've said it in a couple vids now, but would love to see you do one of your summons videos and the charity you do is for pets

Galek does not get enough respect, he's just as good as the other starters. he nukes hard and in a reflex set he can campaign farm in 6 seconds, faster than the other 3 starters becaue his animations are so quick. His A3 is also fantastic for deleteing bosses, if there's only one target they eat all 4 hits and he'll apply decrease defence. The speed boost on his A2 also gets overlooked, since most teams have a dedicated speed boost champ, but, there is noone with a speed boost on all in the orcs faction, meaning for faction wars, Galek is one of only two orc champs who can apply speed boost. He is a very very good champ and 100% a viable nuker, who actually outclasses some legondaries (looking at you Queen Eva, Galek has higher multipliers than her) He deserves a spot in the top 15. Top 5 even, the top 5 should outright be the 4 starters + coldheart.

That’s funny you mention the 90s Woodstock documentary, started watching that w my gf recently

Love how he said it would be short at beginning😂. And I swear I instantly skip my tag team arena when apothecary is on the same team; it upsets me so much 😭

Was this video recorded before Teodor? He and Riho are the major snubs in the legendary category. Royal guard is also a big one from the epics.

You're old?? My favorite TV show is Doctor Who, the original series, been watching it since the early 80s. LOL And thanks for all your ranking videos. I'm the same way and I look for these kinds of videos to see who is consistently on one list after another. They have helped my account a lot. :-)

Can you do a video on the best UNBOOKED champions?

Firefly, Band of Brothers, Cheers, Futurama, Ragnarok (Norwegian). I'd like to see you make a team of garbage that works, not to 60 or anything but as a challenge to see what teams you can pull off to about 40.

Mordecai, the dungeon spider killer with his AoE HP burn! Ash may have forgot about Fenax aswell...

for rares i’d do coldheart, apothecary and kael the epics i would go with are deacon armstrong, geomancer and ursala probably legendaries for me are basic; krisk, lydia and siphi

Dude if you liked the Soprano’s and you haven’t seen Peaky Blinders, then watch it immediately!! Thanks for all your videos tho man, love your content. You always make me laugh and you seem genuine and kind hearted, which matters to me, keep up the good work!

Sopranos and GOT are prob my top 2. Yellowstone and The Boys are two current shows I like. If you want to try some newer shows, ones that were really good just with season 1 this year were Tokyo Vice (HBO) and Severance (Apple).

Hey Ash! Hope you are doing well, buddy. You did seem a bid low on energy for this vid. A series idea: Imagine you just started an account and pulled your first sacred or void shard. If you go per faction, can you go over the champs and say where you would use each champ if they are the pull from that shard or if they are food / resource sink?

great series . better Call Saul , if you watch breaking bad , Ash :))

TV Shows recommendation? Sandman was released on netflix recently and as an old x-m.a.n. (gen X middle-aged nerd) who was a comics book nerd, it was excellent and all my friends who are comic fanatics, agree.

If you are into Kung Fu and great fight scenes, check out Into the Badlands. Its a modern kung fu show that has AMAZING cinematography, a really unique storyline, and incredible fight scenes. The average fight scene on TV is 30 seconds. The fight choreographer said the shortest fight scene in the show is 2 minutes. I couldnt recommend it enough.

An interesting show i recently watched ... Netflix's The Sandman by Neil Gaiman ... excellent and bizarre!

tv wise.. travelers on netflix has a unique twist on time travel if you are in to that. The Crown is a great show on netflix as well if you like history shows.

Nice video ash “Just 1 promise pls promise me that you include the best rare starter??? The best starter and why puts me yo the good old days

Came here for content left with new shows to watch. My favorite series was probably black sails I found it on prime video.

Also found it funny you included brogni (my favorite leggo) as a top 15, but snubbed him from your best support champs list 😅

I recommend Cyberpunk: Edgerunners if you are okay with animations. It is rated MA and its on Netflix.

I only have yoshi, dracomorph, scyl, the free high elf they gave, the clan shop high elf for legends. Currently farming for yakarl and drekthar. And of course in a few days i'll have UDK.

I would actually say Knight Errant from the Banner Lords and Epic champion is a very good Attack type champ cause of his durability and good attack and a stun chance on his 2nd skill Mordhau which if kills a enemy, the turn reduces and 3rd skill death warrant can weaken the enemy and give high damage so it might just 1 shot kill the enemy so with a good set it can just destroy the opponent. I just voiced my opinion, I respect your opinion if you agree or not.

Love your videos Ash but 12:09 Doom Tower for new players? If it's the one I'm thinking of, that's only available level 45 onwards - unless it's been changed since 2022?

No wonder I suck, I've been playing over 2 years and only have 1 of the Legendary champs you mentioned!!!

Arthdal on Netflix. Korean show like GoT but less blood and flashing. PS: keep these videos coming bro!

As a mid-game player, I am missing some top tier on your list but use these specialists starting with #1 Riho Bonespear is used in Arena, Clan Boss, Spider and Doom Tower #2 Fylija in Instinct & Devine Speed gear is now used in Arena(nuker), campaign farmer replaced Big Un, Fire Knight and many Doom Tower teams. Then champions not in a specific ranking order are Mordecai for spider aoe burns needs a buff but just to farm silver faster in spider; Hegemon for Arena only but because you always go first; Ninja if you have him he is in many comps as a boss killer; Gurgoh the Augur is my main Arena freeze champ; plus these other great champs Drexthar Bloodtwin(Spider), Fu-Shan(Arena), Sigmund the Highshield, Raf-Matab(ARENA), Kalvalax(Dragon), Dracomorph(Clan Boss). The great thing about this game is due to variety of champions are that everyone can build with less than ideal teams and be successful. I appreciate the content with a strong effort to connect with compassion to your audience.

Umbrall is the only epic you snubbed (even from mentions) I would personally include. 3 turn block buffs on a 4 turn cooldown, 2 turn provoke with a 2 turn unkillable. Shes so good for doom tower control, arena control, hydra.. anywhere you need to stop people from doing things 🤷‍♂️

I have 2 legendry mid tier :( wasnt in list. Tnx for video ash ❤

Well I pulled apocathary very early, and a friend who had played a couple of years told me just to fuse away rares. Haven't pulled him since I realised my mistake haha

Love athel for bosses with the giant killer mastery shes hit hard everytime. very happy to have the fat guy

The wire, best series I have seen

I would say venomage needs to be in your list!

If you like Sopranos, i would advise watching Lillyhammer with Steven van Zandt. Excellent TV Show!

Without Sopranos we wouldnt have so many shows like breaking bad, ozarks and probably sons of anarchy. Great video btw haha

I pulled lady Kimi and Dutchess back to back. Then pulled sifi as my next void lego. Changed pve and pvp. Those 3 absolutely are top 10 champs If I had 3 champs to start an account I think I'd go with nekmo, Teodore, and draco. Nekmo and teo in a stun set. Those 3 can farm nearly the entire game. No need for revive with the leech in most cases. Just need two champs to enable cb

I think you missed out on adding a new guy. Teodor. I just pulled Teodor and he is insane. He solos dragon 25 in 1 minute in mediocre gear, solos ice golem 24, plays the same role as Sicia in spider, just absolutely insane. A much better version of Dark Kael. Id absolutely replace Sicia with Teodor. I agree with the rest though!

If you like the Sopranos, you'd definitely like Mad Men. Definitely different, but similar feels and direction. Also, if you're looking for an incredibly underrated comedy - New Girl! Best Comedy ever IMO

My brotha, I'm late to this so doubt youll see it but... check out Justified, its a dope show with some of the best dialogue and exposition you will ever see.

best TV show ever "The Boys", after that Cobra Kai, Squid Game, Dark, Fargo, Rick and Morty, Ted Lasso, What We Do in the Shadows

You always have some cool hats. Ash! You should reach out to Melin hats to sponsor a video and make you your own special ash hat

Rare - I'd add Marquess for her Crush the Weak. Great anywhere in the game, but at the start - kaboom!

Hey Ash, I’m wondering if you know, is silver tag 2 arena & up as farmable as silver tag 1, do ppl have def down during the week or not so much?

Thanks!

Man, I pulled a Seer with the only Void shard I had on one of my referral accounts, that was recently created, during a current x2 pull. I was like 'WHAT?!". I don't even have her yet on my main account and I'm both happy and upset about it lol. But at least I already got a wave clearer on that alt account now.

yea, martyr prob should have made the list but good for the shout out at least

Love this

Common: Sister Militant, Bully, Death Hound Uncommon: Armiger, Shieldguard, Saurus. Rare: ( assuming we can choose Kael) Cold heart, Fellhound, Reliquary Tender Epic: Madame Seris, Ursula, Vogoth Legendary: Lyssandra , Helicath, Prince Kymar. Of course, just my opinion. I don’t have a ton of the new guys. But to start the game with 3 of each? I’d choose these guys

i just watched lillyhammer for 23.5 hours straight Ash give it a watch its a comedy ( of errors) with no jokes ! highly recommend it if you dont mind reading a few subtitles , breif synopsis a mafia guy rats and goes to Norway to hide , its 9.10 for me well worth the time. PS krisk may have been the best till i pulled teodor today on a blue shard :-) pps only have 5 leggos on account so was a big deal !

You forgot Harrier. :D Out of the 5 void shard that i got sofar, already pulled that thing...

See Adam Curtis documentaries Ash .... hypernormalisation by him ... excellent

Hey if you like Sopranos(which i love aswell) Maybe try: Boardwalk Empire / Peaky Blinders / Fargo (Could be you've already seen it all)

Sanguinia and Black Knight are great paired together.

Ash make a full team of bellowers each one in a different control set stun sleep provoke freeze etc

Lmfao, "It's gonna be great" made me laugh way harder than it should have.

Cardiel was my first Legendary pull and goddamn he has carried me so far

TV show recommendations: Stranger Things, Psych, Parks and Recreation, The Office, Alone, Breaking Bad, and Lost.

im a day 1 player and id say the only one i would want tht i do not currently have is helicath. so OP

I would recommend "Barry", it's about a hitman that want to become a theathre actor. Both funny and sad sometimes

Is there a video on how and/or where you can get these? Because I only have gotten one and that was from a shard.

My "missing" list: Rares: Frozen Banshee and Pain Keeper, Epics: Doompriest, Psylar and Genbo, Legendaries: Helicatch is the only one on your list I have, outside of him Ragash is my favorite, and with Psylar pair to prevent wave content or boss adds from getting a non stunned turn outside of weak hits

Sopranos!! Hell yes! Sticking with HBO I highly recommend 'Band of Brothers'. And obviously 'Seinfeld'.

Honestly reliquary tender looks like the "high elf version" of spirit host

Another great vid ash ... Anyone know if hexia is good? Just pulled her

Thought for sure Venomage you of made the list lol

Just a lesson reading Japanese based names --- they are most typically spilt by constant vowel sound groups -- So yumeko goes to yu-me-ko not yu-mek-o. Will help you at least with Japenese names, not so much for all the rest :P. Same thing with many people mispronouncing subaru - its goes to su-ba-ru, not su-bar-oo as you hear commonly in some places.

Teodor man, he just made the game so much easier for me
