I agree. Geo is number 1 for me. Great in Iron Twin, Hydra, Clan Boss and also Spider. He is the big boss killer. He is so good for early game, late game, every level of the game. He is basically the cheat code.

No Ursala ? She carried me through everything when i got her early, super underrated.

My thoughts: 1) Skullcrusher probably deserves to be on this list if Toragi is this high on it. 2) Doompriest is probably my most notable omission. Truly a fantastic champion in a lot of places in the game, from doom tower to hydra to a faction war carry (doing the last boss without her is a nightmare when progressing through it). 3) Deacon probably should be above seeker given your general emphasis on dungeon and progression content. 4) Tagoar at least deserves a shout out. I think he's a tossup with some of the names at the bottom of list, but it's definitely an argument. 5) Overall a pretty good list and enjoyable watch, and thanks for all that you do!

Magnarr should have been on the list. Depending on when you get her but Skullcrown was my campaign farmer, arena nuker, wave clearer for so long in the beginning. Honorable mentions to Psylar/Achak/Mordecai/Jareg who all could be in that 20-25 range.

would be interested in seeing a faction series where you do a bunch of separate faction videos covering the top 3 of each role for faction wars to make a viable team to complete it

I got all of them except Akemtum (which i dont have) at level 60. So i pretty much agree with the list 👍🤗 Good work mr Hades!

I would like to mention Archmage Hellmut. Really good general purpose epic.

Genbo and Magnar needs to be on this list.

Great list and video. A couple of honourable mentions for me would be fayne for damage in unkillable cb and a personal favourite Archmage Hellmut for all round utility.

Great comprehensive list that I can recommend to all newer players! Definitely some snubs since there are so many good epics out there, but I wouldn't move things around here and agree with the picks

Love these lists. Venomage, Khatun, Skraank, Maneater carrying me through early-ish to mid-game. They are all so useful everywhere in the game. Skraank is even a great arena nuker/follow-up single damage dealer. Love that weirdo.

I like videos like this. Its like a refresher course on epic skills. I totally forgot Royal Guard does turn meter...and I have 2 built.

Rector got buffed too! Her passive got sped up tons!

Demytha is number 1 for me. Takes your most important team(clan boss) to its full potential

Actually using Fatman and Husk in Reflex on Magmadragon together with UDK and Coldheart. Keeps the dragon locked down really well. Grats on getting Kael this rotation. Looking forward to the guide =)

Really cool video :) as actully pretty much always Me personally idk where i would put them but Zargela, Gorgorab, Whisper, Genbo and i think when talking about top 25 even Gala Longbraids Where champions i was kinda missing

Also worth mentioning that Shamael will counterattack an enemy with his A1 for every debuff that enemy places on your team, and each hit has a 50/50 of decreasing enemy buff duration. Its a nuts 'passive' for an A1

Very good list - I agree with most of these especially at the top end.

One more thing to highlight on Toragi: Same as Rector his decrease ATK also applies when hitting weak (saw it happening many many times)

Psylar in a stun set is my most used epic not on this list, mostly for DT hard waves, FK, Dark Fae and Spider, AoE Drop Speedand Turn meter pushback, lets someone with Crowd Control come back around if she doesn't stun them herself. She was the first epic I booked on my account and her and apothecary let Kael, Warmaiden and Elhain beat up waves that'd have killed them if they got a turn

Ooh the Fat Man. I would move him up. Never thought he would add 15 M to my UNM clan boss team. Whether he is the stun target or not, he brings the pain!

I found Geo to be crazy good in live arenas (at least at my level, I am nowhere near end game) but putting the burn on the opponent's nuker (they usually have lower RES), either the opponent will use an ability to cleanse it or when anyone deals damage to the team, that nuker melts away!! :) sooo satisfying!

Fun! Perhaps Archmage Helmut could get an honorable mention. Great picks, and nice to see High Khatun and Fenax get some love. Your recommendations help me a lot in knowing who to invest in. Much thx.

Getting a lot of these champs in later game really changes your perspective on them. So many just sit in my vault because I already have substitutes for them. I would LOVE if they put more uniqueness in each kit to resurrect them.

I needed this

Just pulled me a rector yesterday, excited to build her out for hydra and more, didnt have veil previously

Great video. Some surprises tbh, which I don't necessarily agree with. I value late/end-game viability very highly, and some of the epics in this list may hard-carry you through early/mid game just to never see the light of day in late game. E.g. for me champs like High Kathun just don't belong here. Especially compared to someone like Shamael (who is behind her in this list), who many late game players do use in hydra (and some end game players even use him in live arena as a niche pick)

I love the Toragi representation. I got him early in my main account, so I used him everywhere. The guy can solo Arcane Potion tower and Minotaur, among other places.

44:31 just pulled my Geo a couple weeks ago. Took me from 80% 2key CB first chest hydra to laughably ez 2key UNM and EZ max chest on normal hyrda. Also went up to lvl 12 on every affinity in twins

HOW in the hell is Archmage Helmet not on this... He is way better than High Khatun... Helmet is a fantastic first DT Normal champ. You can get him and he does some great dps and CC in Doom tower for a long time

"Fahrakin the fat! This dude brings a lot to the table." Evidently he doesn't leave a lot on the table once he's finished lol

I think that HH has pigeon holed Madam as an arena only champ, which has severely underated her abilities. She is viable in every game mode. Maybe not the best, but still viable.

Venomage was the champ that got me past the annoying Siphi/Rotos waves in hard DT, she rocks!

Great list. I would find a way to include Whisper on that list. Her kit in particular her passive is very unique and very powerful.

Have all of the non-void epics on this list (and almost all of them in the game) except geo :( been waiting years for him

Since I pulled Nekmo High Katun has took a back seat but she was my speed engine until that point, great champ.

When you went to Barbarians I really thought you had changed your mind on Woad Painted with her buff taking her in to top 25😊

The way you say Shraank's name cracks me up. thank you for the list

14:35 Allure’s a 2 is fantastic for my Fae team. My speed booster is Deacon, but he is so fast that even after the turn meter boost, the enemy Deacon takes a turn before my biker who is built relatively slow for my go second arena team. So Deacon puts out the drop defense, Alure then sleeps everyone immediately so the enemy deacon looses a turn and the run is safe from there

Deacon, Toragi and Tagoar were early pulls for my account. As a ftp player these have been awesome for me.

Totally agree geo as good as an epic as heartseeker as good as a rare. They one of a kind and worth building multiple copies of. Me myself have 2 geos and 2 hs built.

Great shoutouts for epics not in the meta. Especially like the Madame Serris consideration. Got her early on a f2p and has been part of my Arena teams ever since. Also pinch hits (American baseball term) in a lot of PvE content with that A3 def/atk down. Some quick trivia. I watched LeilaFox's RSL Lore channel and found out Fenax and Talia are a couple. Sacred Order is stacked with power couples. Romeo and Juliet. Cupid and Venus. Fenax and Talia. How about Plarium do some 5 min animations covering their stories 😍 Elhain and Kael have already shown RSL champs are BOTH lovers and fighters. Its cool that i have more than half of all the listed epics. Not so cool that many of them haven't been fully built or even levelled up yet. Working on it but its slow. Like, got skraank almost a year ago, but he's still not rank 6, or even level 50 rank 5. And Venomage and Dhuuk are chilling at 50 rank 5. But those epics built and equipped with my current best gear, they have been transformative. Aniri, Demytha, Geo, Guard, High Khatun, Serris, all have propelled my account in leaps and bounds. Of your list, my most wanted is definitely Seer. Thanks again for the video.

on dhukk, you also have to keep in mind that he is a attack down defense down debuffer with an 2 hit a1 who gets his damage off though defense, madam and stag both need you to either sacrifice their damage or sacrifice their survivability, just going to say, I dont think he was rated to high, I think he was never called out enough for how good he is due to his high survivability on any dungeon, in any arena where poly has not taken over the meta, he will likely live to get his skills off, and not be a wasted space to boot.

Alure is definitely alluring, especially because you'll never get a chance with her.

I love thease videos I watch them during my breaks

I’m such a sucker for great epic poisoners and burners. Even if I don’t need their kit per say, I still build them.

The one problem with Rector - She makes runs take SOOO much longer. If they made the animation of a veil heal 20 times faster I'd use her more. Still love her though.

I've been doing some completely NUTTY things in Hard Spider with Akemtum... Putting together comps with him, Te'o, Venomage, Tyrant Ix... The burns, poisons, pops... It's SO MUCH FUN!!

Solid list (maybe Toragi a bit too high). The only I'd add would be Genbo - a bit squishy, but man, smacks harder than most legos.

Geo is good for live arena. The turn meter reduction followed by the buff steal/removal get them every time. Plus the reflect damage pretty much insta kill most nukers lol

I loved most of your choices but my only question is why no Miscreated Monster?

I pulled two maneaters, and I only use one of them for clan boss but both of them together is a hard carry through faction wars.

finally got my Geo last week, never maxed a champ so fast LOL

Alure and Geo are the only ones missing on my account. Playing for almost 2 years, but did pull them. Hopefully next fusion they will be in 10x.

Toragi + Urost = crazy stuff.

Venomage is so cool! I appreciate that there are a lot of strong and visually cool Epics. As a new F2P player, it helps a lot.

11:00 I was struggling for damage on ogre 19 and Skraank pushed me right through to a clear.

There are many very good epics but these I use in a variety of content Doompriest, Flyja, Gwynneth, Mordecai, Rian, Urogrim (even after nerf), Ursala and Whisper just off the top of my head. Seems like most rares should be commons in todays Raid.

_Nobody can see me behind the screen and through the cold text..._ _...But I do appreciate HH taking the time to make these vids !_

I got everyone on the list barring Godseeker, Dark Kael (obviously) Madame Serris, Toragi Akemtum and the much coveted Geo. But Skraank and Fylja carried me through the earlygame, I still use Demytha and Venomage in my CB team and Uugo, Seeker, Dhukk Stag Knight Deac and Fahrakin are staples on most of my teams. Seer is super useful but I feel like she's a tad overrated here and would bump her down a few spots, while Dhukk would rise several spots higher but to each their own. There are so many other cool Epics like White Dryad Nia, Fayne, Fodbor and Sandlashed, I genuinely like using them more than Leggos

love Fenix, he is so great

I thought Spider would be on that list. I use him in my Doom Tower (Hard) runs, Spider and Arena. very underrated champion.

I got it in my sec acc. And its my nr as well. I watched the video and waited wheres the gromancer🔥

When magnar isn’t in the list, me and other players: *HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO MEEEEE* 😂 great video HH lmao 💀💀💀

Miracle Heal works with Rector's Drak's Passive too. She needs acc to garantee the Dec Attk but it does land occ w/o any. She been a strong carry for my team since I started.

FYLIJA - I primarily use in spider fireknight doom tower and arena - under rated over looked

Is Skullcrusher a top 50, or arguable top 25 with the team counterattack? I’m surprised to not see Sepulcher Sentinel on the list either. Great list though, tough to narrow all the champs to a top 25

Oh, don't sleep on Vogoth for early DT waves,too. On my baby account (totally FtP) he's ensuring the auto-climb doesn't fail by forcing the A1. His Provoke and skill cooldown passive work great together.

High Khatun is meh. Aox the Rememberer is so good and does so much. His kit is very similar to the Dark Kael you are obsessing over (arguably better but more support and less damage) but it also has turn meter reduction and very powerful aoe heal along with the debuff increase length, decrease attack, decrease crit and poison. I use Frozen Banshee + Aox in my clan boss and I couldn't see replacing either for Dark Kael.

No Doompriest? I mean, i guess since i can't decide who to replace but, i really thought she would be on here. Thanks HH!

Got rector drath as my first epic and a year and a half later she still is awesome

Hope you make a comprehensive guide on how to use HH site damage efficiency calculator esp. for enemy max hp dmg dealers. TIA

I only have 8 out of the 25. I really need more of these epics for my account by shards are hard to come by.

I always forget about godseeker extra heals part of her passive

Runekeeper Dazduk honorable mention? Lil dude helped me through Demon Lord Nightmare.

Madame is in my high Gold V arena team. She's awesome in that role. But I think she's basically just an arena champ. But I never bring her (nearly never) in my live arena team; she just doesn't do damage, which I need a debuffer to do, or bring something else like Ukko. And Seeker is in my live and regular arena GO FIRST teams. He's SO annoying for people in live arena because he's actually my fastest (around 350 spd) instead of Arbiter (because everyone bans Arbiter), and with accuracy he's constantly provoking your opponent's scariest champion.

Rector Drath's Kit is pretty well a Void Affinity Kit even though she's Force Affinity. And the only flack you'll get from me about Fenax is that he should've been higher on the list. Hits like Ike Turner! Love me some Dark Kael as well. It's all about that Support Mastery Tree! The High Elven Royal Guards are top-tier, too! I have two copies of both Vogoth and Husk ... time to build the dupes! And the Godseeker?! She's in a league of her own. Use her in Live Arena as a trump. Uugo is SUPERGOOD, not SuperBad! Big T, what it do, nephew!? Toragi the Frog was on of my first Epic Summons alongside Fenax. I vouch for Toragi! I have a dupe of Geo' as well!!! Time to build him out ... Oh, where to find the time!?

I think chani is so underrated and so slept on

On my free to play my first 2 Ogryn epics was maneater and skullcrusher and in dwarfs my first epic was Geo. BUT!!! On my main, which was started the 1st year Raid came out I still don’t have Geo or Maneater or Godseeker or the Cat or Skraank, So damn frustrating not pulling Geo and Godseeker tho. I have 100 Legos but no damn Geo 😞

I agree with most of them but for many of them it depend in when u pull them. For me personally in moment I pulled champs like Meaneater, Demytha, Venomage they are in my vault cos I have no use for them. If I pulled them earlier it would be must build. I would add champs like: Psylar (I don't have but if I pull her I max her) Archmage Hellmut Magnarr

Nice. 310 days in as FTP and I have 8 of those champs. :D

All I’m saying is godseeker is in my best teams for sand devil, iron twins, bombal and hydra. She’s just so versatile

I would put Demytha at #1 for me. She's so incredibly versatile. Can take your team to the next level. I've always thought she was so good.

Good video but you seem to have mistakenly place High Kutune in the spot for Magnar.

Rector Drath at 25? I feel personally attacked lol. She's been the basis of so many of my teams, it's ridiculous!

good afternoon HH and everyone :)

Can you please do a list for early game? I'm fairly early game so obviously this list where everyone is fully booked/best gear etc It would be great to know who champions are who doesn't need specific x set with specific x stats on each gear at level 16. Like if you have this champion you don't have to book them and they're good enough right out the box.

I didn´t have Geo for the longest time, but now I got three, and about to 60 my second one. Some say it´s worth building even 3, but I´m not sure? 2 must be enough? Also, Demytha is one of my favorites! Still waiting for my Seer! (2+ years in)

Just to know guys, I pulled skraank recently but I have artak right now to do the hp burn job, it’s worth to build this guy too? I’m a level 59 F2p so I don’t have a lot of resources available

Been playing for 23 days. I got deacon from the starter code 'SUPERPOWERS' and i pulled maneater from ancient i think my first few days and used him for food. Heard its really good but it isnt as beneficial for a early early game player. Regret yes

I saw Geo coming a mile away. And, I know why since I have two. ;)

Fenax does go crazy in live arena I agree👍🏻can make ppl quit after their udk is gone🤣

I have a 6 star awakened Fenax in live arena. Hes sooooo much fun! 😂

I got a 6 star crit rate savage gauntlet with crit damage and attack lol, im startin to develop my savage sets but my speed gear is still not great at all lol

Looks like a solid update. It would be great if they add the champion filter to the gallery because then one can view champions that they may not own, which have the specific characterics they are filtering for.

Whenever they drop the 2x ancients, I got 100 save up, wishlist Deacon & Alure. Ppl say what about legos. Epic books are way easier than lego books

i just started a new account a week and a half ago and got deacon from the code, so it still works

I would really love to see Fenax in an arena team if it’s classic, or live arena if anyone has found a good clip of this. The KZfaq videos I’ve seen so far of him in arena fights were underwhelming. I want to believe in him! I’m tossing up whether to build him or not.

I need a Geo so bad. Been trying ever since he came out to get him
