World's #1 FREE TO PLAY Player is MAD at Plarium - Here's Why 

"HEY GUYS BOOZOR COMING AT YOU WITH ANOTHER RAID SHADOW LEGENDS VIDEO! I AM NOT ALONE TODAY JOINED BY THE ONE AND ONLY ASH ! HOW YOU DOING TODAY?" Need to take notes on how to kill an intro like this! Thank YOU so much Ash for having me back. Always a pleasure chatting and sharing our experiences! Appreciate you making this happen! Until next time! 🎉🎉🎉

When they came out with primal shards they shouldn't have included rares in the mix, it's so hard to get them in the first place and then when you pull them you get a rare it's extremely disappointing

Tbh when isn't someone mad at plarium

24:40 Boozer is a phophet. He saw this soul chase event coming. I'm not unhappy that I used mine right away simply because building Armanz and awakening him when I did allowed me to 1) stay in silver 1 TTA when I had expected to drop back down to bronze and then 2) this week actually promote to Silver 2 (which is perfect for missions for me rn).

I'm a low spender, and when I go into live arena I come up against players that are under level 70 and have three different Mythicals, Siphi, and Marichka or Taras. I know that they spent a lot to have that, but it's pretty frustrating.

"The Great Void" Ever since I saw that name above the empty spot of the 3rd Clan Boss area, I have been convinced that it will be a Void Champ 'only' dungeon area. Many of the Void champs that they have released in Fusion events, and other similar methods, for champs like Emic.. sort of duplicate the function of a couple older champs that are used a lot in certain areas of the game. This can't be just coincidence. I think this is a long term plan for that 3rd Clan Boss area, and all the 'free' voids they have seeded into the game in the last 2 years, are going to be extremely beneficial there.

Ya'll remember when Ash collected Boozor's energy out of habit, then wanted to buy him energy to replace it but then realized he couldn't? Pepperidge Farm remembers.

It's disheartening that the strong champions on my account are being made obsolete by so many things. Yumeko has been the best pull for me and I have put a lot of effort into gearing her with speed and accuracy and then these mythicals just make her irrelevant with a single skill that doesn't require stats but the stats they do need are already better right out of the gate. With the new missions I have dabbled in live arena and once I get out of bronze I am going to be in a lot of trouble because my best champions are free ones like arbiter and wukong and without them I don't even have a chance. Now everyone is busting out krixia and lazarius and seigfrund I can do almost nothing but wait for them to take a turn and watch them wreck my team.

Up to last month, I was comfortable staying in Classic Arena Gold V.... I would find enough single champ, or lower powered teams, to do my weekly fights to stay in that level while completing all my daily quests. This last week... since the reset, I have seen almost no single champ, or low powered, teams. It's weird. I have noticed that in the last month, I have had to throw gems at resetting Classic to get some tournaments completed... and I never had to do that before. When I first got into Gold V in 2022, there were end of week runs where I edged into Platinum, and then got bumped back out... but I got in. The entire 2023 though, I have seen it become harder and harder to get close to Platinum, and currently I barely stay 3 or 400 points into Gold V before I start seeing these ridiculous teams. Also... did you just lump in 'ftp' players with players who spend $100 or less per month? $100 a month? On a mobile game? That's the price of a AAA game title.. how is THAT ftp? If anything makes me quit mobile games... it's going to be that very thing. The viewpoint that spending $100 on microtransactions isn't important enough to be considered 'spending money'. There is a massive problem with this industry if 'that' is the popular mindset right now. The last 17 years of microtransactions and gaming have been teaching the current generation of gamer that i's ok to spend $100 on this game... that's not 'real' money. I can't imagine the surge of problem gamblers and people who run themselves into debt over these games, in another 10 years or so...

Said it before and I will say it again. The way you interact and play off your 'guests' is absolutely amazing! No Joke Boozer is an absolute MONSTER and needs no help to look good. You do an amazing job of coaxing people into speaking on their own truths. I love it. You are a GOAT my dude. Sending positive vibes to you bro! Take 'um if you need 'um!

The important thing to note, as legitimately impressive as it is when HH completes fusions on the FTP challenges, is that lower level accounts have way lower thresholds on a lot of the tournaments and events, which is how those newer accounts can do fusions. FTP accounts that are older, and thus, higher level, have a way more difficult time of it.

I used 6000+ mystery shards during Armanz fusion for champion chase, summon rush and champ training. It was insane but I did it and I even got Armanz' 5-star soul last night. And because of Boozor, I added all the splits soul to the soul chase tournament. After all of that, I can only think about quitting the game and taking my life back! LOL

So nice of you getting other creators names out there. It also makes there content feel worth while making it.

They should add super raids to minotaur and potion keeps to help save time IMO

I feel like they should have primal shards in events and tournaments a little more often. If not that then atleast primal quartz.

I am not completely free to play but a small, small fish in the ocean. Mythical champs are no different than void Legos in the game when I started playing in August of 2019. I didn't get my first void lego until I was Two years in the game. I have played daily for the last 4 years. Mythical is the new void Lego. Also if you watch Boozer videos they speak to pay players not free to play. The truth of the game is if you started after the launch of the game you will be behind. You will be behind in the game if you spend less money than others. It is still possible to have gear and champs others don't. Doesn't mean you lose automatically. The game is designed in a way that it will last. Krakens exists. That will always be a part of the game. Welcome to reality.

Great insights here. Was thinking about void mythics since they dropped. Also thought about affinity swaps on mythics ,like a magic base form and a void alt form . The possibilities are many.

Those red dots would drive me NUTS!

Love your videos Ash, have watched a few of Boozor's. I spend $20-$50/mth so not exactly free to play but i'm in that ballpark so I absolutely understand what Boozor is saying..However! As a free to play player he provides zero support to Plarium. If RU-vid, Twitch and others suddenly said we're not going to pay you, would you continue posting the amount of content you do now? It's like complaining Apple doesnt provide enough support for their phones when your only own Android phones. As long as you maintain a level 100 account and have 1 billion silver Palarium will never change. All they need to do is say..Systems fine, look what Boozor is able to accomplish without paying a dime. If he can do it, so can anyone.

I agree, the fragment champions are hard enough, but so many of these events and such are harder and harder for FTP. I love this game, but it sure does get incredibly frustrating. Ash, I appreciate your content. Hubby and I watch all the time and your content is super helpful as well as entertaining. You are awesome to follow! Thank you!

_I'm pissed off from the events..._ _What pissed me off the most was,_ _Using a lot of energy and was,_ _...Paywalled to get a single primal shard !_

Power Creep is insane right now.

I wish they would include a way to open the third mastery. Allow empowering of epic and rare, then add a way to unlock that third mastery on a fully empowered champion. I might not have the big spender champs, but give me a fully empowered Coldheart with all three masteries ... yeah.

I discovered Boozor thanks to Ash's first collab with him. As a f2p, he has since been my referemce in the game. Amd congrats, @boozorTV for joining the Test Server team.

I’d like to know how ya do a fusion without tons of energy refills. I can handle it if I have to use mystery shards. I’ve got over 8,000 of them. What cannot do is all the dungeon divers when I need over 3,000 points and I don’t get nearly enough points from stage 20, so I need to run well over 130 energy worth of a stage 20 dungeon and that doesn’t get me anything near what I need to keep a good pace on dungeon divers points.

"I feel like I'm in a Therapy session" :-) Your the best Ash! I love how genuine you are brother! this colabs you make lately are all awesome, but boozor is really something different with you. Your passion and his passion combined make a real good mood and the stuff you guys talk about is really intresting. looking forward for more of these. :-) much love from germany!

24:50 I was exactly waiting foe soul chase tournament too, and was so happy that it went live today. All the souls from Armanz 1-5 got me 500+ points.

I really feel like it's time to make some QPL adjustments with the older pieces of content to the game at this point. Besides remnants, making them more accessible, especially for F2P players. I'm not F2P, but I feel for them. And really, why not? Finally give us a 2+1 void summon event? Obviously people might think that would be in more favor for whales, but probably not just them. If you're a long time player like Boozor, and you've saved up enough void shards and you feel like you can hit mercy, it will be huge in your favor as a F2P player.

What booz says about not staying over the energy cap is what I’ve been preaching for a long time to players who hold thousands of energy at all times. It’s a bad idea to sit on energy over 130

One thing I've gotten a lot better with over the years is saving my shards. I used to pull during 2x events all the time but now I save them for a fusion. The Armanz fusion was actually really easy for me because I did that. I had 10 plus sacred that I used over the summoning events. It's definitely doable

They need to revamp UNM rewards, they need to include Primal shards there as well

I'm cool with myth champs but they really need to increase the rate to get champs or give us more shards. Not myth shards keep those behind a pay wall.

Time do dailies, Normal Arena, 3v3 Arena, Live Arena, Doom Tower, Sintranos, Hydra, Twins, Sand Devil, Masteries, Dungeons, Events, Fusions, with what time?

Under $100 dollars a month? Whoah Ash, you weren't kidding when you said you were a little out of touch with F2P/low spend players. 😂

Even low Silver Rank has become much harder to maintain. Teams seem to have a higher average strength than say 6 months ago.

The Dragonheir model is so much better.. like 10 million times better! They need to take pointers from Dragonheir. Also, as a new player.. Kymar has definitely changed my account 1000% Got lucky and pulled him back in the last double summon event. Kymar in relentless gear improves your team by leagues in pve and pvp.

The title "End Game" is always misused, so it's refreshing to hear someone understand the difference between End and Late.

There should be a catch up mechanic in this game.

Beg to differ. The last fusion depends on luck for free to play. I pulled 3 legos & still failed the summons rush, so unless I lucked a void pull the fusion failed even before the first week. to pull 3 legos is something I have never done in one day in over 4 years of play. 2 years ago I would have breezed a fusion with that luck...so I was prepped but just have 3 of the voids needed for that fusion, not Armanz!

Takes 2-3 years and 1000's of hrs of grinding to hit primal mercy for end game f2p - low spenders. 5x more rare than void legos. They're basically blocked from getting them without hitting the lotto odds. Not good for the game long term

Very nice collaboration, hope to see more of you two - it was an insightful discussion and you guys have helped me a lot in my RAID journey.

Boozer and Ash Collab is a sign.... I should gamble away my savings today lol

i know this is probably a bit weird but my favourite part of the video is Ash's reaction to the mythical ring he got from spider and kept.

I spend sometimes but the other day I pulled Armaz from a ancient shard, just a single pull and boom.

they try to give us more autobattles, but instead they should up the max cap of autobattles and energy... and why not the CB keys cap too. just to make the time spent in this game more efficient. =)

Just pulled Aphidus during the 2x mythical event, still through him in some of my best gear for being level 58. And well, just pulled a 5 star soul for him. Dude actually might be a beast now! Ash we need a defend episode on this dude!

Agree thay the power creep is getting out of control at the top tier.

Every fusion is hard for a person with a normal day time job. You dont have much time to do things. You have your own life.

F2P here. I had 9 ancient, 3 void, and 1 sacred shard that gave me only rare champions, today. One time i used 13 ancient for a promised legendary got mostly rare and 3 repeat epics. This game is frustrating for F2P players who's lucky to afford the internet nowadays.🤷🏻‍♀

dungeon divers are brutal on resources for f2p

I not like the rng between shard pulls. - when unlucky you can pull 10.000 shards and still not get the champion you want - plarium should make a mercy for the 1 desired champion.😊

It would be amazing if they added a blitz for dungeons you have beaten

The Bastion looks so bleak after all of this festival stuff went away

im 2 months in at lvl 59.. and at 1550 live arena i got matched up against a 1790 player at lvl 100 with 3 mythical champs that stomped me in like 4 seconds.. its so amazing.. great fun!

Is there really a good champ one can use to counter this Armanz (sic) ? I have been lucky using Block skills and/or block passives to a small extent, but it really depends on speed and attack with a lot of luck, I think.

Silver II tag team is filled with empowered empowered Mythicals....

"K" - Plarium

I just couldnt do what Boozor does- the effort spent to be this efficient id rather spent my time doing other things. Time is money. Huge respect though!

This guy's amazing you introduced him to me I have been watching his videos and he's the man, he explains things in the game in-depth and in layman's terms top man thanks ash

I have been playing this game basically since day one and have watched almost all of ashes videos from day one, I am totally free to play and happy with the game. Part of the issue with society is idea of everything has to be fair, which is BS, yes, he is the best free to play player in the world. How in the hell would it be fair if he can beat high spenders while other people are spending thousands of dollars how does that make any sense. I am happy with the game and the best way to play this game is not compare your account to anyone else’s, but trying in advance by beating everything that you possibly can, if your goal is to beat everything including whales without spending any money, you probably have bigger problems inyour own life.

What good does a "free" Armanz do for a F2P player when not only do all the whales also get him, but their Armanz will also be +4, fully awakened, and most importantly, their gear will be leagues better than yours. Giving away Armanz does nothing to shift the balance needle. It's just more power bloat.

Raid players in 2024: "Are mythical champs good or bad?" Plarium in 3 years: "Today we're releasing 5 new champs in a brand new Demi-God rarity!"

Sure helps to have Kymar....The idea that power creep is spiking is a little late. Taras & Marichka was the final straw. If you havent gotten Kymar, Warlord, Siphi or Yukemo after 5 years of pulling massive amounts shards, but you do get multiples of multiples of F tier legos &void Lego's, then power creep is 5 years along it way....The fix will never happen - that fix is specifically huge nerf bats on Warlord, Siphi, Kymar, Krisk, Yumerko, Acrizia, Nutcracker. Like they nerfed Tormin....Then /delete Taras & Marchika - or at least /delete their passives and pairing. These fixes will never happen as evidence by the fact plarium has never done a guarenteed void pull for any champion of the S-tier. Plarium has no reason to balance the game when idiots keep spending 100's to 1000's every week. These idiots all say, well, they are the ones that keep the game running. Yeah, no. Thats not the case at all. There are plenty of games that survive for a decade with a mere $10 monthly sub.

Yeah, they really need to do something about making it easier to get mystical champions Like sometimes, a pricing of of the shards is ridiculous to sometimes because it's like a lot of money for and you don't get a lot of shards. I don't know what's alright. The answer you know. I don't wanna leave the game and delete my account. I like raid shadow Legends.

Man I really like your taste in clothing, you should link where we can buy those shirts and hoodies. ♥ Good video by the way. ☺

Great video. Lots of fun and informative.

4 to 5 years FTP - so much content requires specific champions - not skill not tactics - but if you own - you can do - if you dont own you cant.... as a FTP - we have a RANDOM chance to own some of the meta - but a bigger chance not to. A whale or a kraken also faces RNG - but they tip the odds way in the favour by just the sheer amount of EVERYTHING they get that a FTP does not. Speaking from an account that has not missed a fusion in 2 to 3 years 100% FTP. Chased them all - even the bad ones. So I feel the pain. Top Island of Cursed city - Hard Armius - you just cant do if you dont own... I have finished all other content. Dont own a single mythical yet - not even Spider lady (short two epics)

I can't complete city on normal

This guy running his account like a Fortune 500 business.

He predicted the Soul Chase tourney today damn

If you have ever played a game like raid before you know when they start dropping mythical champions it's either time to quit or start spending money. F2P normally get 4-5 year's before the ship sinks.

dude did I see 670 acc on armonz behind boozers back? couldn't quite make it out. with 340 speed. omg!!!

I don't understand why seer is hitting that hard! karma burn use buffs as source of dmg, and his team has only a shield in every champ. Can someone explain it for me?

Great video do agree primal shards are terrible. Your the best ASH!

Remanment summon I did once as it was free and then I did not get any new :/

The horse has been beaten to death but they need to redo and streamline the tavern, too many clicks/taps.

"___" Player is mad at Plarium. Bro, who isn't? Player avg time of good vibes and positive feelings towards Plarium = 5 sec. # of times this is achieved? 1-2 a year.... maybe. Why do i still play? I dont really know.....

This was a great source of information.

If you've spent even $1 on your account, it isn't f2p. Free to play means NEVER having spent money. It's not a light switch. You can't just flip on or off.

very nice duo ! UHU so entartaining to watch :D ash always put smile on my face :D

Another video featuring ECHO would be cool.

I got over 120,000 myself. I think I’m around 128,000 energy but I don’t got much silver.

I had such a great dream the other night, I yolo'd a Mythic Void champ that could dolo UNM CB with 1 attack from their A3, man that was kewl. But then I woke up and my head was still sown to the couch....

I'm ftp and I pulled a night queen Krizia mythical...I'll never be able to book her. Let alone get her souls.. I got armans too.

Great video gents.🙌🏼

I watch a lot of Boozer videos but I would say that Eharbad would give him a run for best F2P account.

Realized months ago as a long term and raid card only player I would never reach endgame.

i pulled Stargazer on my first revenant summon

Yep... now we're moving towards Paid Shadow Legends

What Ash said is important--"F2P" also means people who spend money, just not st00pid amounts of money.

Ash you have the #1 best raid channel an raid shadow legends period.

Great Collab Ash :)

Well Plarium aren't able to keep the game running if they cater everything to F2P players lol.. there will be power creep, but the spenders are the ones who keep the game running.

I think they will add a new faction this year.

I have taraichka and wasnt into live arena til i went for armanz fusion, then i pulled a siphi and harima now they can ban whatever im still gonna win most matches lol

not gonna lie after that first Collab video ive been watchn boozer to, and he does make some good content love the booz now!

i so love this guy, thx Ash for reaching out

It’s good to know that no matter how much time and effort F2P and low spend players put into the game, that they will never compete with the big spenders. I’m going to call the last six months a lesson in futility of time and resources and say “see ya” RSL. Ash, I have enjoyed your positivity and content and I wish you continued successes. Thanks again for the heads-up.

I would say end game is when you have all of you Great Hall maxed out.
