I am one of those rivals at ftp 2023 challenge. There are not many videos I am eager to watch. Your are one of them. Really appreciate your calm and matter-of-fact presentation as well as no clickbaits and no "hype over minor meaningless things" like other creators do. Keep up good work and good luck with pulls in future.
@@Thamonis I know right, what is with that and everyone doing that, it really annoys me to the point where I will not watch the video if I see it on the thumbnail
That's totally awesome. I also like that Eharbad is calm regarding some gains on the account. As an example, when most content creators pull a champion, use books straight away and once they pull something better they do not find any book left. I like this calm and pragmatic approach when you delay booking or shard pulling. Calm and rational - that's how you should behave as FTP and Eharbad nails it :)
In these past 6 days,i might have checked your channel for about 30 times and i am not exaggerating the number,i am just very eager for your videos and really looking forward for those pulls,just wanna say that plz upload more videos i don't have any means to support your channel so that you could do this on a full time basis and put a lot of variety of content but i love the type of content that you put out,and if you're feeling any kind of negativites in life,just know that your fans are always there for you!! keep up the good work, THANKS 🙏👍
What. A great video. Progression in this game feels good because it's so hard to do. I love that your farming spider 10 with food haha. Gotta be efficient!
Spot on comment. These are the types of CC RSL videos that don't feel long, when they end I'm left waiting for more actually. Athel was my original starter but I gave up on her at 50 when I pulled Kael. While that worked at the time, I really wasn't very efficient and didn't get the best use out of Athel like I could have, learning from these vids.
Hi, Mr. Eharbad! Thank you for the always excellent RAID content. Very sorry to learn that you have been ill, but quite glad to know that you are feeling better.
Really excited to see what you can do w/ a Crohnam in the early game. For end game obv people are doing regen set for Necropolis, but I'm more keen on seeing how you use him w/ limited gear for DT and Spider
Certainly won't be having access to any endgame regen gear that's for sure! But I am really looking forward to seeing what I can get him to do - am hopeful for some big progress (especially in Hydra!)
As always thank you for a great video these challenge videos have help me a ton on just how to tweak my mindset for this game. All I'm hoping for now is not getting a friggin Harrier from every other void I open. Also managed to pull a Jareg from my 4 sacreds (rest was useless dupes) so I'm hoping to have a shot at 120 eternal dragon (N) if I level him up swiftly.
I really don't mind videos so long, i did pause it a couple times because there were times in raid where i had to pay some more attention and i'm not good at multitasking whatsoever, but i did enjoy it a lot. Don't be afraid to make more of those. ;)
THanks for the update. I love content you do. Would like to share some personal insights as Crohnam owner. I`ve hot him at day 42 (I did push all my refferalls more actively then main account). 1. He is not a huge dmg dealer in terms of wave nuke or arena nuke, he benefits fromhp burn activation mostly. 2. Most of the time you would want to run him with Djamarsa, as sometimes he does crazy moves( A2 because Djamarsa used A2 on him -> A2 Because of Passive -> A2 -> his actual turn). 3. His HP Burn activation does not work like Sycia, so in spider when he uses a2 he might be not consistent activation (random hits on spiderlinks without hp burn, all hit into one spiderlink and so on). 4. His passive revive with Djamarsa may be used as a cleance sometime - you just allow him to die, and then he revives without debuffs by himself,which is nice in all area (fun in arena with somebody like skullcrown or leo you take first turn, activate their unkillable, they kill whole your team and Crohnam does revive and kill next move) 5. He does nice dmg on Cb (however djamarsa brings less), however I was able to use him for quite time in Nightmare (with Djamarsa) and UNM team (3 key UNM, no Djamarsa) 6. Relentless gear is fun on him, He gains so many moves...
Thanks for the info - pretty much in-line with what I was expecting from him! Getting him early though I think will be hugely fun - I'll definitely be trying to show what he's capable of similar to how I've been trying to push the boundaries with Athel
CvC matchups are determined by your previous CvC score. Meaning the clan you got this time scored almost the same as your clan the previous tournament.
I really hope your approach to the f2p challenge works out. All the other creators are talking about not having lego books but they pull all their shards and don't have any to pull when lego books are a reward.
End game people put him in regen and he duo farms with Godseeker, mostly Necropolis. He also works in Hydra for AoE burn. Most builds have him very high Acc and standard HP/DEF/SPD for Hyrda
Im having trouble with the last floor of the normal doom tower, the last eternal dragon. Im about 45 days in, my 5 man is kael maneater pythion deacon and ronda all 6 star with masteries, decent gear. Im just dying too early, i feel i do the mechanics right i try to use all the CDs before he takes the first turn, kill the right champion and then the left ones when he spawns them, but he just deals too much damage, i can't heal through it even with deacons leech and pythion, who is almost fully booked, only 1 book missing on the A1. Any advice?
Feel your pain on being locked out of NM simply by champs...definitely jealous of your double banshee pull on mystery shards tho lol would love to get her on my squad. Keep up the great work tho enjoying watching your progress!
I’ve always been on the “Kael is best” train. Don’t get me wrong, he still is very good. But you are showing that a properly used Athel is really really good! She is winning me over for best starter.
I've shown everything across the 14 episodes of the series. There isn't a hidden strategy it's just from doing the missions/challenges and some are from events/tournaments
Eharbad has a detailed tutorial on how to maximize training event efficiency. That strat alone really helps improve the ease to obtain books. Basically any event with a leggo book, Eharbad goes for it. The key is to not waste energy on anything that doesn't have rewards. Save everything for when you can get a book or a shard reward. Don't just randomly farm Fireknight without any event for example.
Lucky, you get to watch along in real-time. My F2P acct tourney has someone from RAT in it, I thought that clan was end-game Plat arena level. Matchmaking in this game is poor
Whilst geo is OP would be fun to get some less used champions. That new Orc ally protection champion for instance, or sepulcher sentinel, or toragi. Whatever I get I just hope to have what’s needed to get onto NM at a minimum if not have the composition for UNM so can focus on getting the gear/builds rather than hoping for lucky pulls
@@Eharbad Toragi, Sepulcher, Jareg, Rearguard seems like the go-to all epic classic CB team. My F2P hasn't pulled any of them but got lucky and nabbed a Maneater from void2x and built the Man/Warcaster unkillable to 3 key UNM. this game is so unbalanced that without those champs, it's 2 keying NM and no hope at UNM. (only have 2 champs that can hit those 3500 def 40k HP UNM thresholds)
youre not a F2P if you have your fanbase do your referrals. You CRIED about amazon prime but have no problem receiving 7 sacreds and a free lego by taking advantage of something 99% cant do unless they grind it out themselves. Either grind out the referrals yourself or dont accept all of the sacreds and the lego.
You're the one on here crying. Amazon and refs are both EXPLICITLY STATED as part of the HH challenge. Anyone can grind out their own referrals. In the time you spent whining about this, you could have downloaded bluestacks and got to work.
@@Eharbad 11 days ago on your "Episode 12 - F2P 2023 Challenge" I brought this topic up. It had the most interactions and responses on that video yet you conveniently ignored the topic all together. If you genuinely want to discuss the topic then lets do that. The way I see it is that 99% of people who play raid have to actually grind out that referral program which takes a lot of time and effort to get 6 accounts to level 50. A normal F2P doesnt have the luxury of receiving 7 sacred shards a legendary champion and 6 void shards without having to put in the work for it. Thats a HUGE boost to any account, F2P or spender. I dont think there is a problem with you receiving those nice gifts if you actually grind it out, but having your fanbase do those referrals for you (not just you, but all CC's in this challenge) is not realistic for the whole of the community. What if your fanbase decides to just give you $1000 to spend on your account. You didnt pay for the packs and gear so you're still F2P, just somebody else bought the stuff for you to progress the account. I personally think its a massive advantage that you and other CC's are exploiting and doesnt actually show the grind of what players really need to do to complete those referrals
@@airfernrsl I did grind out the referrals on my main (there were only 3 possible back then). If I weren't playing 2 accounts, working a full-time job, and creating UA-cam content as a hobby then I'd quite easily be able to grind out the extra accounts using Bluestacks or equivalent. These other commitments you conveniently ignored are the reason for the assist regarding the referrals. I am grateful to those that have helped with the referrals, but to compare this to accepting cash donations to spend in-game is rather disingenuous and clearly these are not comparable. As has been stated by others on your original comment a few weeks back this (and the Amazon prime code) are stated as part of the rules of the 2023 challenge series.
@@Eharbad I'm not ignoring your responsibilities and I sympathize with the fact that you have a lot on your plate. But please remember that other people who play this game also have responsibilities and full-time jobs while holding multiple accounts. Nobody is asking you put out content, you are choosing to do that. If you're not making some money from your YT then you should reach out to them because I get ads each and every time I look at one of your videos, so there is some financial benefit to this hobby of yours (though I definitely understand that it is not like some of the other CC's). This series is definitely bringing in some financial gain so its not like you're doing charity or philanthropy work for the community by putting these videos out. By you saying that you have too much going on to do the referrals yourself is exactly proving my point: welcome to the real world and what it is actually like to play Raid. Its hard to actually grind those referrals, and us peasants who apparently don't have a job(s) are not nearly as busy as all of you CC's are. If I were to start a F2P account right now and come to your comments each day to ask your fanbase to do 6 referral accounts for me, do you think it would happen? Do you think 6 people would grind to level 50 for me? If the answer is no, then CC's are at a massive advantage for this "F2P challenge" that apparently the community is encourage to participate in, yet not given the luxury of having other people do the work for them. Your strategy and patience in this game is what makes you one of the more enjoyable CC's to watch in this game. I guess, for me, its just surprising to see you take a short-cut
Just watch all his vids. You don't need DMs on discord. If you watch this F2P series from episode one you will see exactly how he takes trash champions and horrible luck and transforms it into Doom Tower clears. If you watch his training tutorial and Fusion guides, he teaches very detailed ways to be efficient. It's all here on the channel. Anyone can do what he does IF time and patience and planning. Not easy, but doable.

Looking forward to the 2x ancient for your account. The biggest changes come during this time for the f2p new accounts.
Thank you for the update !

40:51
Are there more point requirement spikes the higher level you go? For example lvl 60?
I think it’s just two tier. Either in the easier bracket (in general
@@Eharbad Lets hope once the harder dungeons are released, they wont increase the point requirements.
Eharbad I'd appreciate a big in-depth for Crohnam. Very little good guides on him.
That is the plan! He will be a huge champion for the account so will try him everywhere
End game people put him in regen and he duo farms with Godseeker, mostly Necropolis. He also works in Hydra for AoE burn. Most builds have him very high Acc and standard HP/DEF/SPD for Hyrda

getting the dupe of frozen banshee... any thoughts on starting to fill up your faction guardians to get some bonuses on the champs you use?

I’ve always been on the “Kael is best” train. Don’t get me wrong, he still is very good. But you are showing that a properly used Athel is really really good! She is winning me over for best starter.
Oh Kael still is undoubtedly the best - the poisons are just so damn strong at beating bosses etc. Would have been fun doing similar things with Kael!
can you pls make a video or a tutorial of a kind showing all the ways you get books and shards in your ftp account

how did you level your referral accounts?
With help from viewers
When you open the shards you'll sky rocket!!
shard caunt litle suprized & refals GJ all
how... just how can u hold the desire to pop those shards.....
we like the long videos
👍
yall gave us a good fight i even said that yall will win against us easily ... welp guess NOT
