I can actually explain why Cillean was under-rated for so long. He was the fusion which came right after two of the best fusions we have had in Raid. He came 2 fusions after Tormin ( who dominated the arena meta for years ) and Rotos ( who is still an exceptional arena nuker to this day ). People called him trash because he did not compete with the fusion champions which had come before him.
Totally agree. I skipped Tormin and Rotos, was really mad at myself after that and then Cilian came out and I was like "I'll never skip a fusion again". He wasn't on the same level and sat in the vault until I needed him for FW.
On release his AOE lockout was single target and his self buff was a single instead of double. Hydra will also be more likely to focus him down for having the most active buffs
He was my very first Legendary I pulled from shards. Before his buff I used him in FW, after his buff I am using everywhere. Much more often than Ronda. He was my number one control champ in Doom Tower back then when my champs were weak. He can also nuke if built right. He can save your day with his random buffs (getting block damage and clutch) and he does it very often when you are in need despite it's random which two buffs he gets. Interesting that HellHades updated everything about him except of his overview which says still that he is a single hitter. :D Some of my nukers have Soul Reap. I like it especially in Doom Tower where every turn counts. :D Also a life saver anywhere if you are out of skills and hp... and your nuker can't kill the opponent or boss with one last hit without it. Otherwise, it's a useful and fun blessing.
Albums: To Pimp a Butterfly (Kendrick Lamar) Punisher (Phoebe Bridgers) AM (Arctic Monkeys) These are some of my personal favorites. There’s a good bit of variety here too
Hey! A fellow Finn here! :D My favourite album of all time is The Cranberries - No need to argue from the early 90's. But hey! May I suggest you a christmas movie from Finland: Rare exports is hilarious and a bit scary christmas themed action/horror/comedy.
'The Little Mermaid ' soundtrack is GREAT! I'm 48 and I still like it. If your dad is Irish and you aren't Irish, either he's mistaken or you're the mailman's! Lol, hopefully he's mistaken!
Album Suggestion (oldie but boy what a good one IMHO): Turn of a Friendly Card by The Alan Parsons Project... Or Eye in the Sky, Ammonia Avenue, Vulture Culture - darn, that were albums to listen to from beginning to end because they had a concept...
Skindred: Union Black. Or old school: Queen II, very early borderline concept album, meant to be listened through rather than to. For an all-killer, no-filler party rock, AC/DC Highway to Hell (I know everyone raves about Back in Black; but, H2H is the stronger album)
@ASH-RAID Musical album recommendation: Arturo Sandoval - "Danzón" (1994, GRP) This is my favorite jazz album by one of the greatest trumpet players of all time. This is quintessential Latin jazz at its finest! It covers the gamut of tempos and moods. Track 4, starting at 4:40 is a brief solo to end the song but is one of the most amazing demonstrations of Arturo's pure ability to make the trumpet go higher in pitch than any other trumpet player in history! And as a sax player, I really appreciate the tight sax ensemble in Track 7 with a great (and very audible) baritone sax component. You will likely want to go out take Latin dance lessons after this album because of how the music drives your soul throughout the album.
Wanted to comment this on your most recent video. I'm going through a really rough patch in my life right now, as in, really bad. I also just got Mithrala so I went to your video on her and being told to "breathe and just try to smile" and it definitely didn't solve everything, but your endless support you show towards your viewers helps. We appreciate you, thank you.
Album rec: The Whitlams, Eternal Nightcap. I love all their albums, but Eternal Nightcap is their most awarded and celebrated. Little Cloud is a great album too. They’re an Australian Indie Rock band that’s been going strong for 30 years. Sadly two of the original trio died tragically young, but the surviving original member, Tim Freedman, kept the band going.
Old albums, but I really like Pendulum - In Silico(EDM, Daft Punky style music) and Kamelot - Haven(I call it a type of Fantasy rock. Lots of classic metal/rock instruments and many songs have an orchestra backing them up. I also just love the lead singers voice.) would be one of my choices for desert island.
Hey Ash. Loving the content as usual. On the album front, being a diehard fan of metal there's so many classic albums I can recommend but I'll pick out a couple that stand out to me most. I'm not sure if you're into metal or not but hey it'll be an experience for you if you see this comment. The first would be Painkiller by Judas Priest. It's fast, heavy and full of adrenaline rush and is basically an example of metal music in it's purest and most raw form full of insane vocal range and immense guitar and drum work. One of my all time favourites. The second would be Carolus Rex by Sabaton. It's a concept album about the rise and fall of the Swedish empire in the 1600's and is probably the bands crowning achievement. I didn't even know Sweden had an empire until I listened to this band. So with Sabaton you get great music and learn about history at the same time. And if you're feeling adventurous there's a version of the album that's sung entirely in Swedish which sounds badass.
Deserted island album? Just one? I'm a musician who plays guitar, bass, and drums (mainly a guitarist). Well, here's some masterpiece albums that would be on the list to consider in no particular order: 1. "Boston" by Boston - Hard Rock - This album was released in 1976, and was way ahead of its time. It has stood the test of time, and still sounds amazing today! 2. "Operation: Mindcrime" by Queensryche - 80's Metal - One of the all-time great conceptual albums ever made. Just like any other "masterpiece album", every song is a banger, and the story is very engaging! 3. "Abigail" by King Diamond - 80s Goth/Horror Metal - Now, for some people, King Diamond's vocal style is love it, or hate it, but if you're into the style, and love movies in musical form, this is another conceptual album that rivals "Mindcrime", and personally, I like Abigail's story even more. Musically, this is also one of the tightest bands ever assembled with absolutely amazing instrumentation throughout the entire album! 4. "Vulgar Display of Power" by Pantera - 90s Groove Metal/Sludge - I may be a little biased on this one since I knew Darrell and Vinny Abbott (lead guitarist and drummer respectively) in person before they were famous. However, if you like your metal served hard, cold, and low with a side of mind-blowing guitar solos, then this album is where it's at. This is also the album that is widely attributed to saving metal music during the "grunge" era. I love all of Pantera's work, but I think as far as their albums go, this one plays the best from start to finish, and is well-crafted as an album. 5. "Sgt. Pepper" - The Beatles - Rock 'N' Roll - It's The Beatles, man. They have more than one masterpiece album, but I just like this one the best. Their other masterpiece albums are: Revolver*, Let It Be, and Abbey Road* (While I include Revolver and Abbey Road, in my opinion, the Ringo Starr songs need to be removed, specifically "Yellow Submarine" from Revolver, and "Octopus' Garden" from Abbey Road to be truly masterpieces. They are both songs written for 5 year olds, and ruin the continuity and flow of the albums). 6. "Violator" by Depeche Mode - Synth Rock - This album is kinda dark and brooding, but in a good way. It's a journey of self-reflection, and has you asking some interesting questions. It's got a really cool vibe to it. 7. "Dark Side of the Moon" by Pink Floyd - 70s Progressive Rock/Psychedelia - Pretty sure you know this one, and have most likely heard all of it, but just in case, this one should be on anyone's "masterpiece albums" list. It's an amazing sonic journey. Every song on the album is of equal high caliber, and the album contains one of the greatest female vocal performances ever captured (Great Gig in the Sky). I also love "The Wall", and it's another fantastic conceptual album that tells a story, but there's bits on it that you skip once you've heard it a few times. So, as albums go from start to finish, "Dark Side" is superior. 8. "Master of Puppets" by Metallica - 80s Thrash Metal - This is actually a tough one. In my estimation, Metallica has two perfect masterpiece albums. This one, and "...And Justice For All" (Lars Ulrich's bass-deleting shenanigans aside). "Master" came out while Metallica was still underground, and still somehow managed to pull in a huge following while "Justice" saw Metallica explode onto the scene with their MTV video for the song "One". I'm giving it to "Master" because that album was so strong, it became a monster with no big marketing campaign at all. That says a lot. 9. "ZoSo/IV" by Led Zeppelin - 70s Rock 'N' Roll - Every song on it is great! It has a nice flow to the album also which is a lost art now. Another consideration would be the "Physical Graffiti" album, and while it has more songs as a double album, and it's a really great album, it's not a "masterpiece album" since it has a couple of skip-able songs on it. So, "IV" wins. 10. "Peace Sells... But Who's Buying?" by Megadeth - 80s Thrash Metal - Last, but definitely not least, is this powerhouse of an album by Megadeth. This was another hard choice. Like Metallica, Megadeth has two albums I consider "masterpiece albums". This one, and "Rust In Peace". What it came down to was the strength/weakness of one song on "Rust In Peace" called "Dawn Patrol". Sometimes I like that song, and sometimes I'm not really in the mood for it, and skip it. There's no such song on "Peace Sells...". The musicianship of "Rust" is improved from "Peace Sells...", but that doesn't take away from the quality of "Peace Sells..." at all. As a complete body of work, I think "Peace Sells..." is the better album. JUST barely. That's my Top 10 at the moment! Those definitely aren't the only "masterpiece albums" in existence! There's many more that could have just as easily been on the list, but I just picked 10 from what mood I'm in as I'm writing it. If there's one, or more of these you haven't heard as a complete album, I hope you check it out and reply with what your thoughts are (love it, hate it, indifferent, whatever)!
quote of the year : "you get to stun them or their dead AND! you get to do it again" -_- stunna face lol. i luckly got this champ thanks for the motivation to use him.... try a group called 53 thieves album: after hours
Album suggestion: Putumayo presents From Congo To Cuba... a great Afro-Latino musical compilation that will take you from Africa to Cuba and back again, it connects a popular genre to it's roots and the parallel evolution these rythmic music styles...
I also love the reaper blessing. Especially in pve, and specifically on Gnut. If his big aoe smack brings the boss to the threshold, it's like getting a 4th max hp smack on the boss. Great for speed running everywhere.
Soul Reap is definitely one of my fav blessings for nukers. Do an aoe and watch multiple reapers offing everyone is awesome! And Cillian is underrated for sure.
Ed Sheeran's "Divide" for an upbeat joyful time and "Subtract" for a more of a melancholy time. Galway Girl and Nancy Mulligan from Divide also has a strong irish vibe if you're into irish stuff like your old man haha.
I listen to full albums also 🙌🏼 Here are a few that come to mind . Eluveitie " Everything Remains (As It Never Was)" or "Slania" Swiss folk metal, different but worth listening to. Avenged Sevenfold "Waking the Fallen Resurrected" My Chemical Romance " The Black Parade " Bob Marley " Legend " Larkin Poe " Venom and Faith"
Octavarium by Dream Theater is amazing, albeit lengthy. Seasons by Sevendust is also a great album, and finally Vaxis II: a window of waking mind by coheed and cambria.
Gold 4 and Gold 5 is where the fun in the game is tbh. You can pretty much play your whole roster there. However, I havnt been in Gold 4 in a while...just Gold 5. It does take a while to drop rating the closer you get to plat and that sucks if your farming medals like I am.
Albums anyone needs to listen to.. Acid Bath - When the kite string pops Clutch- Blast Tyrant Kyuss- Blues for a Red Sun Life of Agony- River Runs Red Type O Negative - October Rust Tool- Lateralus To name a few albums that are great from track one all the way thru
Beastie Boys - Paul's Boutique, it is their least popular radio album but their best and most eclectic album. You can literally just let it play on repeat.
About the heritage thing is I think those DNA tests are funky. I have heard of people complain about their results. Edit: I would love to see an Akemtum guide. Do you do your champion guides on another channel?
Arctic Monkeys (british band) - Favourite Worst Nightmare (best album), Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not (also great), AM (good album, probably the album that would cross over best to the US)
My desert island albums: Todd Rundgren; A Wizard A True Star Beatles; Abby Road Oops, Beatles; Beatles ( the White Album as commonly known) my intro into the Fab Four B-52s; Cosmic Thing Elvis Costello; This Year's Model Led Zeppelin; II (2nd album) ZZ Top; Greatest Hits; white cover with girls /photo shoot set Nine Inch Nails; Pretty Hate Machine... also Closer & Into the Void are must haves Garbage; tie Garbage debut & Garbage 2.0W. Carlos; Switched on Bach ( incredible 1st Moog synthesizer/ amazing bass) The Clash; London Calling ( Rolling Stone album of the decade, 80's. Came out JAN 1980) My Fair Lady; Movie Sound track TIE; Joni Mitchell; Court & Spark Crosby Stills & Nash; debut album ( aka CSN) Carol King; Tapestry Cat Stevens; Tea for the Tillerman Glenn Miller; toss up, find a greatest hits album well recorded...

B-52's again; debut album & Wild Planet...more great danceable albums, party on Garth... ...more to come...
Thrice - The alchemy index is a two albums with 4 volumes going over earth air water and fire themed off of the elements The music style changes. Its by far the best compilation I have heard.
He was my 2nd leggo on my FTP after UDK so i started using him early and often coz i didnt have a lot of champs and even ran him at 50 for a long time not worrying about alot of damage just good survivability and high acc so i was kinda "forced" into using him and i quickly saw how good he was way back in my 1st month of FTP!
Happy Halloween dude here's a bunch of albums I am currently listening to, I'm going to make a list on my phone so I don't keep resending the same album suggestions. I'll try to remember to keep making suggestions and only full albums. Hum - You'd Prefer An Astronaut Broadcast - Haha Sound Radiohead - Hail To the Thief Incubus - Make Yourself Silverchair - Frogstomp Soilwork - Stabbing the Drama Blind Guardian - Nightfall In Middle Earth Rhapsody - Symphony of Enchanted Lands Fold Zandura - Ultraforever Project 86 - (self titled) AP2 - Suspension of Disbelief Morellas Forest - Super deluxe Morellas Forest - Ultraphonic Hiss Extol - The Blueprint Dives Matisyahu - Youth Matisyahu - Light Type O Negative - October Rust She - Pioneer World Order - Self Titled World Order - 2012
I don't have Cillian so can't comment on him, but I always enjoyed the trick or trunk with my nephews, lots of fun memories. Two things Ash, one, not knowing your musical tastes, I will throw out something that is enjoyable background music to keep you relaxed, Suite for Flute and Jazz Piano by Claude Bolling and Jean-Pierre Rampal. I know it's from the 70's, but when I heard it I had to download the album. Two, DNA tests aren't all that accurate. We have Cherokee ancestry, we have the documentation and proof with family and gov't records, yet the DNA tests for my sister and cousin both said no Cherokee or any other tribe. It didn't even have Wales when our grandfather was born in Cardif! I'm not saying you don't have Finn, just that your Dad could be onto something that the test didn't find. Hmmm, think I'll have a Sam Adams Octoberfest and play me some Raid. Thanks for the info on Cillian, I will bookmark it for when I finally get him.
I'll give you a pair of albums. Apex and Abyss by Unleash the Archers. The two go together to tell one story. Why these guys don't get more attention is beyond me. Unbelievably talented musicians.
If you want an absolute treat and enjoy "pinkfloydish" rock music, AND like concept albums, I highly recommend Ayreon. Especially their 2017 album, "The Source". It's an incredible experience, every note and word has its place. If I had one album to bring on a deserted island, that would be the one.
Albums Radiohead, rainbows, amnesiac & KidA, thanks for the video. I’ve been sitting on a 5 star soul for Cyllian but still haven’t gotten around to investing in him. Also on soul reap, the main draw back is that it doesn’t work on hydra which is frustrating. But it is great on bosses and in doomtower waves
If you're into Hip-Hop i would recommend Cheat Codes from Black Tought and Danger Mouse. Its mature Hip-Hop sound with a melancholic feel to it. My fav album to come out in a last couple of years.
I'll give ya 4 that i have been digging on vinyl recently 2 classic 2 more recent. Going way back The Who Who's Next. Another classic is Dire Straits Brothers in Arms. Side 1 is the hit. side 2 is just awesome. More recent from about the time covid hit, Pearl Jam Gigaton. Great album. The other off the wall choice is Phish Sigma Oasis.
Dude you are so right about Soul Reap. I use that more than Smite these days. Soul Reap is OP in Hydra too, really helps kill those heads that are close to decap.
Hey ash! I’ve been really loving NF’s music for awhile and i think you should check out his album called The Search. All of the songs on the album are really good but my personal favorite is a song called Time. I hope you enjoy it !
😂😂😂"Alright dad, you can be Irish" Just got back to the states from a trip to Ireland last week. Unfortunately, did not see a wild NubRaids about while I was there!
Don't know your musical preferences but a album that I consider to be one of the greatest albums of all time is "From Mars to Sirius" by Gojira, big recommend it is a masterpiece.
If you're talking music you're in my wheelhouse, so I won't be shy. I'll try to shoot a little off the beaten path... If you're new to Jazz and want a can't miss first experience, Miles Davis - Kind of Blue is S+ tier from needle drop to the final groove. For something indescribable and uncatagorizable, My Bloody Valentine - Loveless is a work of art and an absolute mindf*ck. Brian Eno is the unsung hero of modern music (look him up, you've heard tons of his work and didn't know it.) But his most accessible and brilliant masterpiece is Another Day On Earth. Find your best headphones and thank me later. This would be my #1 suggestion, btw. Let me know if I've hit your vibe and I can keep 'em coming. Love you
Ahhh, Rhonda ate Cillian. Dessert island album....ELO - Out Of The Blue. Really kewl use of thunderstorms in the one song that evolves into Mr Blue Sky. The whole album ties together well.
I'm not quite sure about your music taste but maybe you go with some melodic metalcore or post hardcore like I Prevail and there last two albums True Power and Trauma or maybe you can handle an even harder style like Polaris' new Album Fatalism or just ALL albums by Fit for a King and The Ghost Inside. Such inspiring lyrics which definitely got me through some hard times with depression. Cheers man, love you
I don't have him nor am I Irish but your videos are Always S tier..... But gotta say you calling out the Head Ringer wasn't so much on point hahahaha... But still had me rolling cause you couldn't keep up with it going so often... Great Amazing Content.
Jimmy Buffett, Meet Me in Margaritaville. Great sampling of his many albums. Great singer, songwriter and bestselling fiction & nonfiction author. I'm a parrot head though. If you've never listened to him, give it a try.
Can you please make a video on F2P Doom Tower Hard Teams with substitute Champions. I really want to do Doom Tower Hard but I don't know what Champions and builds are needed for Doom Tower Hard.
Slept on him for a few months and will build this cvc. If you're looking for music recommendations than if not already tried go for violator by depeche mode
I have cillian in a two piece perception and a 4 piece instinct. I know Savage gear gives you ignore 25 % defense. But I thought instinct gear was better even though it's only 20%. Ignore defense but also gives you plus 12% speed
For albums, I’m a very big fan of rap, so I would have to say to pimp a butterfly by Kendrick Lamar. I also really like homesick by a Day to remember for rock
Music recommendation: Tom MacDonald, The Brave 2 album. This guy spits so much truth its head-spinning. produces everything himself, independent of any label, his girlfriend Nova does all the videography, etc. The System and Race War are must-hear tracks.
Aw man, I'm so glad I kept him from feeding him to Ronda! He's like a hidden gem in a lot of Vaults imo. Might even break him out one day (if ever I get enough books for him and the rest of my champs 😂) to test him vs Hydra. He makes a great target for the head that steals buffs. Perhaps not in your first team, but for players lacking decent 18 champs for Hydra, he might come in clutch
Talk Talk - Colour of Spring one of my all time favorites. if you give it a chance, please give it a few listens before deciding. my general rule for any band that is worthy of respect is 3 full listens before making my decision. anyway, hope you find a few~
I gotta go with Hot Fuss by The Killers. personally think the whole album gets forgotten about because of Mr.Brightside being so popular but I listened to it again recently and it`s still my favorite album.
I've always connected with and liked your stories, but this one - as a Finn hit hard and might explain why I prefer Ash over the other RSL content creators :P
Hydra is 4 stars because he constantly has 2 buffs more than others. He can be the target of the head of mischief, with high resist
Thanks for watching ;)
I can actually explain why Cillean was under-rated for so long. He was the fusion which came right after two of the best fusions we have had in Raid. He came 2 fusions after Tormin ( who dominated the arena meta for years ) and Rotos ( who is still an exceptional arena nuker to this day ).

Totally agree. I skipped Tormin and Rotos, was really mad at myself after that and then Cilian came out and I was like "I'll never skip a fusion again". He wasn't on the same level and sat in the vault until I needed him for FW.
I think you are missing the fact that he also got a huge buff almost a year after his release.
On release his AOE lockout was single target and his self buff was a single instead of double.
Hydra will also be more likely to focus him down for having the most active buffs
He was my very first Legendary I pulled from shards. Before his buff I used him in FW, after his buff I am using everywhere. Much more often than Ronda. He was my number one control champ in Doom Tower back then when my champs were weak. He can also nuke if built right. He can save your day with his random buffs (getting block damage and clutch) and he does it very often when you are in need despite it's random which two buffs he gets.
Interesting that HellHades updated everything about him except of his overview which says still that he is a single hitter. :D
Some of my nukers have Soul Reap. I like it especially in Doom Tower where every turn counts. :D Also a life saver anywhere if you are out of skills and hp... and your nuker can't kill the opponent or boss with one last hit without it. Otherwise, it's a useful and fun blessing.

These are some of my personal favorites. There’s a good bit of variety here too
Thanks Brien ;)
Hey! A fellow Finn here! :D My favourite album of all time is The Cranberries - No need to argue from the early 90's.
But hey! May I suggest you a christmas movie from Finland: Rare exports is hilarious and a bit scary christmas themed action/horror/comedy.
Ahh, Cillian.. My first legendary champ, solid champ after his buff.
Hes a rather nasty champ!
Same
My first dude but I also got him before buff when he was..meh
Thanks for watching ;)
Music ...
• RUSH 2112 (entire album)
• Pink Floyd (Brick in the Wall & Darkside of the Moon)
'The Little Mermaid ' soundtrack is GREAT! I'm 48 and I still like it. If your dad is Irish and you aren't Irish, either he's mistaken or you're the mailman's! Lol, hopefully he's mistaken!
Album Suggestion (oldie but boy what a good one IMHO): Turn of a Friendly Card by The Alan Parsons Project... Or Eye in the Sky, Ammonia Avenue, Vulture Culture - darn, that were albums to listen to from beginning to end because they had a concept...

9. "ZoSo/IV" by Led Zeppelin - 70s Rock 'N' Roll - Every song on it is great! It has a nice flow to the album also which is a lost art now. Another consideration would be the "Physical Graffiti" album, and while it has more songs as a double album, and it's a really great album, it's not a "masterpiece album" since it has a couple of skip-able songs on it. So, "IV" wins.
10. "Peace Sells... But Who's Buying?" by Megadeth - 80s Thrash Metal - Last, but definitely not least, is this powerhouse of an album by Megadeth. This was another hard choice. Like Metallica, Megadeth has two albums I consider "masterpiece albums". This one, and "Rust In Peace". What it came down to was the strength/weakness of one song on "Rust In Peace" called "Dawn Patrol". Sometimes I like that song, and sometimes I'm not really in the mood for it, and skip it. There's no such song on "Peace Sells...". The musicianship of "Rust" is improved from "Peace Sells...", but that doesn't take away from the quality of "Peace Sells..." at all. As a complete body of work, I think "Peace Sells..." is the better album. JUST barely.
That's my Top 10 at the moment! Those definitely aren't the only "masterpiece albums" in existence! There's many more that could have just as easily been on the list, but I just picked 10 from what mood I'm in as I'm writing it. If there's one, or more of these you haven't heard as a complete album, I hope you check it out and reply with what your thoughts are (love it, hate it, indifferent, whatever)!
Thanks man!
dance with the dead - driven to madness… man i love em! i guess now i regret feeding cillian many many many moons ago before the buff LOL
quote of the year : "you get to stun them or their dead AND! you get to do it again" -_- stunna face lol. i luckly got this champ thanks for the motivation to use him.... try a group called 53 thieves album: after hours
Album suggestion: Putumayo presents From Congo To Cuba... a great Afro-Latino musical compilation that will take you from Africa to Cuba and back again, it connects a popular genre to it's roots and the parallel evolution these rythmic music styles...
Thanks man!
An album used to tell a story with its combination of songs..
I also love the reaper blessing. Especially in pve, and specifically on Gnut. If his big aoe smack brings the boss to the threshold, it's like getting a 4th max hp smack on the boss. Great for speed running everywhere.
I know you want albums, but I think a super under the radar group is Missio. They have such a huge range of styles.
Thanks man!
I used Akemtum and Tagoar in Hydra together and I was amazed how good it went! Thanks for recommending Tagoar to us!
Akemtum is a beast. I use him in my Hydra Hard team
Soul Reap is definitely one of my fav blessings for nukers. Do an aoe and watch multiple reapers offing everyone is awesome! And Cillian is underrated for sure.
I'm old school, but a great album from cover to cover is Joe Jackson Blaze of Glory. What's neat is all the songs roll into the next.
Ed Sheeran's "Divide" for an upbeat joyful time and "Subtract" for a more of a melancholy time. Galway Girl and Nancy Mulligan from Divide also has a strong irish vibe if you're into irish stuff like your old man haha.
Thanks man!
@@ASH-RAIDno problem Ash! Only fair that I leave a comment after alll your helpful vids haha!
I listen to full albums also 🙌🏼 Here are a few that come to mind .
Eluveitie " Everything Remains (As It Never Was)" or "Slania"
Swiss folk metal, different but worth listening to.
Avenged Sevenfold "Waking the Fallen Resurrected"
My Chemical Romance " The Black Parade "
Bob Marley " Legend "
Larkin Poe " Venom and Faith"
Thanks man :)
Yoshimi Battle the Pink Robots album by The Flaming Lips is perfection from start to end!
Thanks man!
@@ASH-RAID enjoy!!
Octavarium by Dream Theater is amazing, albeit lengthy. Seasons by Sevendust is also a great album, and finally Vaxis II: a window of waking mind by coheed and cambria.
Thanks man ;)
Thumbs yah anything Dream Theater.
Lol, "albeit lengthy" reminds me of James Labrie (DT singer) apologizing to live crowd with "Sorry for the short set," after a 3 + hour Event.
@@ASH-RAID Of course! I hope you find any of those enjoyable :D
@@Underwarts Haha
Gold 4 and Gold 5 is where the fun in the game is tbh. You can pretty much play your whole roster there. However, I havnt been in Gold 4 in a while...just Gold 5. It does take a while to drop rating the closer you get to plat and that sucks if your farming medals like I am.
Albums anyone needs to listen to..
Acid Bath - When the kite string pops
Clutch- Blast Tyrant
Kyuss- Blues for a Red Sun
Life of Agony- River Runs Red
Type O Negative - October Rust
Tool- Lateralus
To name a few albums that are great from track one all the way thru
Thanks Steve!
I'm only like 90 seconds into the vid, but wanted to say how funny I found it that the YT ad, was also you, promoting WoR 😂 🤣
Should reap is essentially the only blessing I use on Lego dps. There's a few exceptions obviously, but acrizia and gnut both slap with soul reap.
Thanks for watching ;)
Blue Oyster Cult's Imaginos album is my pick. You can listen to it multiple times and pick up different bits of story scattered throughout each song.
Thanks Lee!
Beastie Boys - Paul's Boutique, it is their least popular radio album but their best and most eclectic album. You can literally just let it play on repeat.
Thanks man!
About the heritage thing is I think those DNA tests are funky. I have heard of people complain about their results.
Edit: I would love to see an Akemtum guide. Do you do your champion guides on another channel?
DNA tests are literal scams, there's no scientifically proven way to define heritage from DNA
Head ringer🤣🤣🤣
Entertaining as always my friend

Thrice - The alchemy index is a two albums with 4 volumes going over earth air water and fire themed off of the elements The music style changes. Its by far the best compilation I have heard.
Thanks man!
Hey Ash! If you are into some progressive metal, I'd recommend Symphony X - Iconoclast 👍 it's just an epic dark melodic masterpiece
Thanks man!
He was my 2nd leggo on my FTP after UDK so i started using him early and often coz i didnt have a lot of champs and even ran him at 50 for a long time not worrying about alot of damage just good survivability and high acc so i was kinda "forced" into using him and i quickly saw how good he was way back in my 1st month of FTP!
Happy Halloween dude here's a bunch of albums I am currently listening to, I'm going to make a list on my phone so I don't keep resending the same album suggestions. I'll try to remember to keep making suggestions and only full albums.

@@ASH-RAID any time, and I'm trying to include every genre because you seem to be into just about everything the same way I am
I don't have Cillian so can't comment on him, but I always enjoyed the trick or trunk with my nephews, lots of fun memories. Two things Ash, one, not knowing your musical tastes, I will throw out something that is enjoyable background music to keep you relaxed, Suite for Flute and Jazz Piano by Claude Bolling and Jean-Pierre Rampal. I know it's from the 70's, but when I heard it I had to download the album. Two, DNA tests aren't all that accurate. We have Cherokee ancestry, we have the documentation and proof with family and gov't records, yet the DNA tests for my sister and cousin both said no Cherokee or any other tribe. It didn't even have Wales when our grandfather was born in Cardif! I'm not saying you don't have Finn, just that your Dad could be onto something that the test didn't find. Hmmm, think I'll have a Sam Adams Octoberfest and play me some Raid. Thanks for the info on Cillian, I will bookmark it for when I finally get him.
Thanks for tuning in ;)
Quick question. What's your take on the slept on accessories in the clan shop? 5% chance to counter attack per piece. 👀
Moody Blues, Days of Future Past - Old record but it tells the story of a day.. Very cool album...
You've finally redeemed yourself from a "rate lego" kind of video you did a while back and you knocked down on Cillian, my possibly most wanted.
I do like the album folklore
I'll give you a pair of albums. Apex and Abyss by Unleash the Archers. The two go together to tell one story. Why these guys don't get more attention is beyond me. Unbelievably talented musicians.
Yes please on the akemtum guide, pulled him a couple weeks ago and looking for inspiration.
Sure - I will make it happen soon ;)
Will you showcase a team featuring Cillian on the Dark Fae rotation when it opens?
Amazing for mischief tanking hydra. Stack provoke, guardian or curse set and he's getting alot of work done for you.
Thanks for tuning in ;)
If you want an absolute treat and enjoy "pinkfloydish" rock music, AND like concept albums, I highly recommend Ayreon. Especially their 2017 album, "The Source". It's an incredible experience, every note and word has its place. If I had one album to bring on a deserted island, that would be the one.
Albums Radiohead, rainbows, amnesiac & KidA, thanks for the video. I’ve been sitting on a 5 star soul for Cyllian but still haven’t gotten around to investing in him. Also on soul reap, the main draw back is that it doesn’t work on hydra which is frustrating. But it is great on bosses and in doomtower waves
Thanks Daniel!
British independent artist called Olivia Dean album name Messy.
If you're into Hip-Hop i would recommend Cheat Codes from Black Tought and Danger Mouse. Its mature Hip-Hop sound with a melancholic feel to it. My fav album to come out in a last couple of years.
Thanks man!
I'll give ya 4 that i have been digging on vinyl recently 2 classic 2 more recent. Going way back The Who Who's Next. Another classic is Dire Straits Brothers in Arms. Side 1 is the hit. side 2 is just awesome. More recent from about the time covid hit, Pearl Jam Gigaton. Great album. The other off the wall choice is Phish Sigma Oasis.
An album that never gets old, Faith no More "King for a day, Fool for a Lifetime".
Dude you are so right about Soul Reap. I use that more than Smite these days. Soul Reap is OP in Hydra too, really helps kill those heads that are close to decap.
Hey ash! I’ve been really loving NF’s music for awhile and i think you should check out his album called The Search. All of the songs on the album are really good but my personal favorite is a song called Time. I hope you enjoy it !
Iron Maiden Somewhere In Time. Good mix tempos and lots of great story driven lyrics.
Thanks man!
😂😂😂"Alright dad, you can be Irish"
Just got back to the states from a trip to Ireland last week. Unfortunately, did not see a wild NubRaids about while I was there!
Don't know your musical preferences but a album that I consider to be one of the greatest albums of all time is "From Mars to Sirius" by Gojira, big recommend it is a masterpiece.
If you're talking music you're in my wheelhouse, so I won't be shy. I'll try to shoot a little off the beaten path...
If you're new to Jazz and want a can't miss first experience, Miles Davis - Kind of Blue is S+ tier from needle drop to the final groove.
For something indescribable and uncatagorizable, My Bloody Valentine - Loveless is a work of art and an absolute mindf*ck.
Brian Eno is the unsung hero of modern music (look him up, you've heard tons of his work and didn't know it.) But his most accessible and brilliant masterpiece is Another Day On Earth. Find your best headphones and thank me later. This would be my #1 suggestion, btw.
Let me know if I've hit your vibe and I can keep 'em coming.
Love you
Thanks man!
He was my breakout champ in making a working hydra team, as the mischief tank.
Ahhh, Rhonda ate Cillian. Dessert island album....ELO - Out Of The Blue. Really kewl use of thunderstorms in the one song that evolves into Mr Blue Sky. The whole album ties together well.
Nickleback has a collection of some of the best albums from start to finish, that i have seen. I love every one of their albums.
Thanks Dalton ;)
Ash I love you man… u on the grind for all the channels, I know because I am subbed to all of them 😂 happy Halloween 🎃 ❤
Thanks man! I appreciate it ;)
UFO Strangers in the night Live double album is my all time go to.
Thanks man!
I'm not quite sure about your music taste but maybe you go with some melodic metalcore or post hardcore like I Prevail and there last two albums True Power and Trauma or maybe you can handle an even harder style like Polaris' new Album Fatalism or just ALL albums by Fit for a King and The Ghost Inside. Such inspiring lyrics which definitely got me through some hard times with depression. Cheers man, love you
I have cillian and he's awesome, with relentless, enough speed, alot of crit rate and crit damage he's an all round champion with attitude
I also use him with Relentless. Turns for days if you have enough ctit rate
I don't have him nor am I Irish but your videos are Always S tier..... But gotta say you calling out the Head Ringer wasn't so much on point hahahaha... But still had me rolling cause you couldn't keep up with it going so often... Great Amazing Content.
😆
Jimmy Buffett, Meet Me in Margaritaville. Great sampling of his many albums. Great singer, songwriter and bestselling fiction & nonfiction author. I'm a parrot head though. If you've never listened to him, give it a try.
Thanks Brian ;)
we're all alone together -dave
Steppenwolf made a great album back around 1973 😅
Can you please make a video on F2P Doom Tower Hard Teams with substitute Champions. I really want to do Doom Tower Hard but I don't know what Champions and builds are needed for Doom Tower Hard.
Slept on him for a few months and will build this cvc. If you're looking for music recommendations than if not already tried go for violator by depeche mode
Hey Ash here's an album for you to check out that just released this year- "First Two Pages of Frankenstein" by The National.
I have cillian in a two piece perception and a 4 piece instinct. I know Savage gear gives you ignore 25 % defense. But I thought instinct gear was better even though it's only 20%. Ignore defense but also gives you plus 12% speed
I just pulled a cillian, was trying to figure out if I want to use him or yannica. I have 2 yannicas
Bloody Kisses or Slow Deep and Hard by Type O Negative.
For albums, I’m a very big fan of rap, so I would have to say to pimp a butterfly by Kendrick Lamar. I also really like homesick by a Day to remember for rock
Music recommendation: Tom MacDonald, The Brave 2 album. This guy spits so much truth its head-spinning. produces everything himself, independent of any label, his girlfriend Nova does all the videography, etc. The System and Race War are must-hear tracks.
Just for inithwe, does it count as a block revive if killed with soul reap?? Thought there was a kinda anti-synergy there?
No I have inithwe in soul reap, it still works. It places the block revive
Primus Sailing the Seas of Cheese is an excellent album from top to bottom.
I dont know anything he says but the banjo hits
Way busted up buttery goodness
He was the second legendary i pulled on my free to play. He is sooooo good. Solid in nightmare campaign and arena, and wherever there are any waves.
Thanks for watching ;)
Aw man, I'm so glad I kept him from feeding him to Ronda! He's like a hidden gem in a lot of Vaults imo. Might even break him out one day (if ever I get enough books for him and the rest of my champs 😂) to test him vs Hydra. He makes a great target for the head that steals buffs. Perhaps not in your first team, but for players lacking decent 18 champs for Hydra, he might come in clutch
Thanks for tuning in ;)
I recommend the Soundtrack to the movie Sideways, songs composed by Rolfe Kent.
Thanks Zachary!
Jelly Roll - Whitsitt Chapel - current cd in my car. love it from track 1 to 12
Talk Talk - Colour of Spring
one of my all time favorites. if you give it a chance, please give it a few listens before deciding. my general rule for any band that is worthy of respect is 3 full listens before making my decision.
anyway, hope you find a few~
Thanks man!
I gotta go with Hot Fuss by The Killers. personally think the whole album gets forgotten about because of Mr.Brightside being so popular but I listened to it again recently and it`s still my favorite album.
I've always connected with and liked your stories, but this one - as a Finn hit hard and might explain why I prefer Ash over the other RSL content creators :P
Thanks man! Means a lot ;)
For the no Irish in ya. Check out The Scratch - Mind Yourself (album) relatively new Irish folk, metal band. Amazing!
I recommend "Max Richter - Sleep" Album , he is truly gifted compressor.
The Glitch Mob - Drink the Sea.. Bad Wings, was the stand out.
Thanks man!
