MUST BUILD Epics and Rares (2024 Edition!) - Pt. 2 | Raid: Shadow Legends 

Nice video. For me, doompriest makes it into the must build category. Time and time again she just comes back as such a strong support, especially since a lot of PVE is debuff-centric now more than ever. That passive is so simple yet so effective and really only exists on like 2 other champs in the game.

Whisper is a must build for any account at any level.

I would say bump up Psylar. She can be used anywhere you would use LysandraKimi if you don't have Lysandra/Kimi or in addition to one of them. A3 decreases turn meter by 40% and throws up a reduce speed. A1 and A2 are AoE so you can throw a stun set on her for added CC. Also AoE decrease Accuracy on A2. Amazing for Dark Fae.

Nubs come on man dark kael is a must build he is solid in any content you put him in

I think ostrox is the one you need to look at more closely. Void 3 turn block buffs on a 3 turn CD.

A counterpoint video commenting on champs that are 'traps' would be nice. Champs which have important utilities somewhere in their kit but should not be immediately built for those utilities if they are the first option you manage to get.

Dark Elves Epics - for Faction Wars I would include a reviver, either Kaiden or Fang Cleric. Also, Captain Temila carried me through a lot of Faction Wars with the healing and Ally Protection. I'd guess you picked up a legendary and didn't have to worry about it but I got pretty screwed with Dark Elves FW with almost no Legendaries and zero revivers so I had to try everything.

Pretty fair choices nubs! I guess I'd add mausoleum mage as a highly recommend, not because any ofhis abilities are completely unique, but because of how much support he brings to different teams and his ability to enable really powerful teams. because of his impressive aoe cleanse with heal and awesome triple aoe buffs (Def,Blockdebuffs,critrate) on a 3turn cooldown which enable seer teams and defense-based nukage among other things.

Great video, i like the style of this. Of course there are a few conations choices etc. but you did great :). One call out - Gwyneth of the dark elves epics

I think kinagashi deserves a highly recommend at least...she has revive, turn meter drop, and team attack which was absolutely clutch for FW.

Nia is great if you have two, they can reset each other and bonus heal. In reflex and reset gear. That and if you have someone with a 3 turn you want to spam they enable some fun teams.

I think Crimson Helmet should totally be a must build. AE revive on death is super strong, also tripple hit, etc. so much value.

Fraction Wars have advanced question to use 1 rare - so it would be helpful to mark at least 1 rare per fraction that is good enough to stay in the roster just for sole purpose of being automatic quest filler

Nice job on part 2. I completely agree with your picks here

I do love ranking videos. This is a fantastic resource copy and paste for future reference save so much time when your up to your ears in epics. Thanks Nubs.

Thank you so much for this video. I love your content!

Ill put in mycilliac priest orn as he can solo dragon, icegolem, and mino which is good for lvling up champions and i havent used anax but ive heard he is a very very very good champion.

Kinagashi is great, not many (any?) revivers in Shadowkin, hits ok and mini ally atk all useful in few places.

Flannan became a must have for watchers. He is my goat for early Fae and slapping him in a stun set if you want that extra control, not only that but also nice for Fire knight with his team up and two hitter A1 with meter decrease, a small version of speed debuff which if triggered on multiple enemies has a 50% for an extra turn, that's very nice. He already got a stun in his A1 too. He even buffs a small accuracy buff, making him quite literally the only rares alongside Kurzad that can do that. Also defensive! I slapped him in a guardian set made him my speedy tank, might end swapping him for stun set, very reliable.

Im a big fan of Duhr, super helpful in a faction lacking revivers. After Saph converted me I have Whisper as a must build now too

Awesome content! I was really happy to hear Croidan get so high praise, he´s my next 60 due to FW (just 4 stars away from Lydia), and for FK hard. Anywhere else you´d recommend using him?

Flannen is brand new and really good! check out his kit!

Glad to see the "mullet" coming back 😂😂

I agree with almost all of these, but my boy Orn is an ez recommend. He helped me solo so much content, I even use him over Teodor most of the time.

Dark kael definitely must build on f2p/budget

This was really helpful! Thanks for the video! Could you do the same for Legendaries?

Psylar and Runekeeper, especially if you were having 'a brand new account' are really really good and definitely a must build for me.

isn´t Petrifya from DemonsSpawn worth build? i think she can match frozen banshee damage in CB

Savage on the dark elves. Love Dark kael and Serris

Under Shadowkin you should have mentioned Burangiri for the same reason you mentioned Lady Anabelle. The ability to solo Bommel. Burangiri allowed me to progress in Doom Tower because of this.

I feel you definitely undervalue Skimfos, he can be really good in many areas, esp. earlier game, but I also still use in Dark Fae. Fellhound I have never built, I had Queen Eva originally, now my Arena Skullcrown campaign farms fine so I don't need to waste resources on a specialist. Dark Kael I would say 'must build' although everything depends who else you have, since I got two Teodors mine sees less usage. Demytha is one I eventually built, but have never once used. If you aren't doing a specific clan boss team she's not all that useful. Psylar is an absolute must build too. For Doom Tower Hard progression especially she's amazing. Plenty that are must builds for me that I wouldn't say for all, but Skullcrown, Sinesha and Gala Longbraids on my account are all 6-star blessed and I use them in loads of content.

i was super shocked that Serris was not a must build, she has been in my arena team since i pulled her years ago

I was screaming at you that Toragi is a must build before you chose him. Glad you heard me ;)

Any chance you have an actual list breaking this down by faction, and must build vs highly recommended? That would be great to have access to for my clan.

I would love a video on the Epics you should build multiple of

I think not giving Madame Serris a must build is a low rating. Yeah polymorph is rife in high end arena but most people aren't there

Runic Warder helped my early fk progression a lot. I’d recommend him.

Vildrax is the most underrated epic in the game especially in Hydra. Very attainable champ, 100% aoe hex, aoe debuff extensions, leech. He does 40-50m out of the 150m damage every week on my Hydra hard team.

I built lifetaker from shadowkin faction last night... She has a 100% heal reduction on a double hitter for her A1... I was struggling in spirit potion keep before i built her

ill forgive you for not including him fot at least a recommended as you dont have him but Duedan the Runic from the Sylvan Watchers is really handy as a control champion. has a Taunt buff on his A3 with a strengthen and counter attack for him, a little bit of debuff removal on the A1, shields that scale of his HP as an HP champion and buff extention on the A2. i think hes at least a highly recommended champion for his support and control utility and you dont need any accuracy on him. really easy to build

You’re sleeping on buringiri in shadowkin! Aoe stuns, provoke a1 and strengthen

hey, can you show some tactics for cursed city p10 (rotation 4) - its really anoying :((

except for spider what stuff can you cheese with paragon? I have one but have no problem with spider, was wondering if I can use him somewhere

Was definitely surprised you didn't pick Dark Kael.

I would put Madame Serris or Rian the qonjurer as must build! Madame is INSANE in arena. Buff strip and increase your damage on them. Madame also does decreased attack and a bunch of fear. She is the reason I got to Plat Arena on my F2P.

not must build but lifetaker has unironically helped me a bunch

Nub sleeping on Burangiri and Orn. Both strong solo picks for struggling accounts. Maybe not must build but definitely worth the shout out.

You dont have a miscreated monster!! Wholly RNG hell.

i would bump up fyr-gun isabeil. probably my favorite bomb champ especially for bommel since she can place weaken and bombs back to back

WHisper is a must build. the dmage she does is crazy evenin the late/endgame

Neldor built semi fast with CR/CD/ACC...single handedly changed my FKH teams

I think Lifetaker can be a useful champion for Fire Knight, if you dont have better ones.

I'd like to shout out Longsword Torrux - a rare from Knights Revenants. Could fall into the recommended category.

feel like gorgorab is a must until you get arbiter on a newish account

i expected to see anax as honorable mentions ..he carried me a loot in clan boss and other dungeons..he is great dmg dealer with a lot of debuffs

Spider is the only character i have that does def down and weaken AoE and he does attack down AoE. id recommend.

yeah agree with banshee. she was nice to have but i didnt really need her

I think my only disagreement would be madam, I’d put her as a must build, not that many buff strip options unless you get lucky and have a legendary that can do it. Thanks for the videos!

Ostrox boneglaive is a better uugo nubs. Better than most the ones you picked imo. Slots right into hydra as an affinity friendly block buffs on a potential 4 turn with masteries.

Dirandil is way under rated tbh, how I have him built he is a beast and will always use him

Cadaver still usefull in hard secret room, he can solo it so it's good not to build 5 rares to pass just 1 mission for ramantu

Burangiri is a must build for me.

a stun lua is absolutely brilliant, by the way.

Pann smacks real hard... excellent multipliers, better than some lego atk champs...

I disagree with Felhound, there are so many champions that clear camping, sure he does it 2 sec. faster than most but is it really worth building him for 2 secs. ?

Knight Revenants: Torux (Rare) great champ (esp. Hydra)

Good list but I think Anax at least deserves a recomendation.

Anax is one of the best CB dmg dealers!

I don't know how you forget rare champion longsword torrux he is massive

Snubbing my little mushroom buddy, Orn. :(

4:13 Ostrox is very good in Hydra, he is in my hard team... 4.5/5

_HELLGAZER is a good starting NUKER..._ _Regardless what anyone thinks she is awesome,_ _...Hellgazer's kit is also closely like my equally favorite champ Whisper !_

Are we just going to forget about Anax, Fodbor and Burangiri?

not having Hotatsu as a must build is such a crime.

4:30 no Anax? 12:35 Genbo is amazing. I always have a problem when my opponent uses it in the live arena. 13:40 Nia is highly overrated in my opinion. I have it with 5 stars and it is not very useful.

My boy anax is a nasty carry-debuffer 😢

Probably should break it down between early, mid, and late game. I’m new and lvl 52. You are not recommending Champs that do major dmg. Exp; Magus in a poison set will probably out dmg everybody on your team.

What would help me is a "must build unless you have..." list.

Luria is pretty good, at least early game. but Coldheart is just so much better, but she's not early game... or.. well, I've been playing 1½ months and I recently pulled her so... yeah. If I was F2P I would probably not have pulled her yet. I have Luria on one of my other accounts, she's decent for sure.

Yes. Gorlos

Imagine almost skipping Toragi.

dude undeadhoard Anax is MVP in my team 50 days in.To not even mention him?

PREIST ORN IS GOD LOVE THE VID

How can you not even mention Anax? 😅

Bro how could you not put Ashwalker as a must build Ash will be so sad :(

Bro madame serris is must build

I have 3 alures

#4 Skip

Seriously? Frozen Banshee is highly recommended but Urogrim is a maybe? You're killing me here, man. 😅 Edit: Also, yes, Miscreated Monster is 100% a must-build champ, no questions asked, period.

i'd say fellhound is mandatory, he saves SO much time compared to everyone else, it's critical for every account to build one

I'm 50/50 on this video. It's hard to respect this type of content. I'm a clan leader for a free to play / new player clan and these videos indirectly shadow so many good and useful Champs. I'm always trying to help my clan mates with thier teams and this content (without a disclaimer) hinders their creativity for team building.

ANAX!!

Anax

BRO
