Disagree on Giscard. He brings aoe Provoke for faction wars. Turn off his A2, and he's solid early to mid game in Clan Boss with his increase attack and defense a3. Then he's constantly applying decrease attack on the CB.
@UmBongoInDeCongo on my main account (4 year old account) I still use him in FW. On my four month old FTP, he does the business all over the place early game.
@@stephengeorge416yep I can imagine him still doing a good job, I get tired of these content creators looking at champs with the 700 legendary eyes. If you don't have those kind of accounts people like Giscard are amazing.
You gotta put a disclaimer at the beginning or something that some champions you say are trash can really change someone elses account depending on where they are in the game. Noobs will watch this video and automatically form opions on champs that would otherwise be great.
Yeah, agreed, not everything has to be a Godseeker to be worthwhile. I mean, Krakens don't care about epics anyway, but for a mid ftp account? Don't invest in Yaga, sure, but a Hordin? He can smack.
@@BluntArrows exactly! I used Erinyes and then Rowan on a one key UNM CB team back in the day, and now using Aina to do crazy dmg in various places, definitely not trash
Agreed, I used Valla for a very long time as one of those champions that smacks and just didn't wanna die. In Arena she was always the last woman standing and often stole the victory from the jaws of defeat as a result. And like Valla there's several champions that can be like that quite easily for earlier-game players.
Hey HH! Much as I love your vids, I have to wonder who is the intended audience for this one? Crazy end-game spenders, who won't as much as even look at anything below a void legendary? Because - for a casual player? - Giscard can be a pretty good investment, for instance. Does he bring unkillable + irresistible HP burns and team cleanses? Nope, but for what he is? He's cool. Stack DEF and ACC on him, and guy doesn't even need SPD to keep rotating and locking things down. Canoness? 2 turn DEF increase, ally protect and continuous heal on a 2 turn CD, plus leech and ACC decrease with a 6x DEF hit is trash? She hits the Clan Boss for 100K... What's our bar here, sir? 😅 Cheers!
I'm a mid spender (maybe $400 total) over a 3 1/2 year period. Honestly, for me everything changed after I beat faction wars. I don't have an insane account, but by the time you beat that.. 90% of my epics aren't used much after that. Simply getting shards from unm CB and saving up for fusions will eventually build a legendary roster that pushes most epics out. So for me it wasn't that I was spending money, it was more about doing daily CB for a few years, and eventually you end up phasing out a ton of epics. I do find myself starting to revisit some epics I have ignored for a long time for cursed city though. So I guess to me better Guage ofbuild ir don't build relies heavy on whether or not you have your faction wars beat.
Yeah, I'm revisiting video's like this every once in a while to see what used to be. but Oh man. Barbarians is a factionthat was always over-represented on my account. And he called Valla and Kallia in one breath useless. A few tidbits (especially now with Sintranos) Valla smacks and she's been one of my tanks from the very beginning, destroys shields from the enemy and then smack like hell. Kallia.. Even now she the ONE SOLE champion I can use against frost spider in sintranos. She's the only available burner I have that is capable of keeping that pos down. Both these barbs are definately not bad. And thats just 2 examples where you can easily rebuttle half this entire video.
You completely missed Frenzi the Cackler's A1 (Skinwalkers) - if there is an HP burn on an enemy (whether placed by her OR any other champion) her A1 can trigger an extra instance of the MAX HP damage. She is an S tier DEF nuker and crowd controller with her A3 AOE provoke which also increases her own DEF and corresponding damage. Her passive is insane since every time an HP burn triggers her DEF increases (by up to a total 20%). I got a 5 star perfect soul for her and selected Cruelty for her blessing and her A2 (HP burn) will land 3x of Cruelty on a boss since it's a triple hit ability. I also have full masteries on her and picked helm smasher to synergize with cruelty.
Like he says Eolfrig is good for an early clan boss team aftter saying Giscard is trash ... Giscard is good in a 2:1 team he was very powercreeped but still
Never used him much outside of faction wars, but he performs well in Faction Wars, and his skills look fairly good. Not sure why Hell Hades has him rated so low.
2:58 Come on Hades, Giscard very underrated epic, as F2P control the wave very well and also A1 hit pretty hard with good build (main in relentless set work well).. increase attack increase increase def, turn meter boost passive. Good reviews guide over all 👍
Hell Hades calls 80% of my roster trash! Such is the reality of free-to-play. I get very few epics, so I have to keep all of them, or I would have almost none. When watching this video, remember Hell Hades gets infinite duplicates of epics, and he compares them to legendaries.
For Faction Wars especially, you have to play the hand you are dealt. Lots of the Content Creators assume that you have all the epics. But you have to look at your own account and determine what is best for your progression.
2 epics I have relied on - Pann and Hoskarul. Both are in my faction teams. Pann put me over the edge in Sylvan Watchers since none of them do damage. Pann does decent damage and has some control.
Agreed, Rowan has been clutch for Amius and also FK clan quest. Basically HH is too focused on his other projects to really properly research this and is just reciting stuff off memory.
i've invested in some of these great single target damage dealers for Cursed City (Knight Errant in Destroy, and Rowan has A1 Heal Reduction on a very high chance for Amius). feel like a missed opportunity to review great Epics that people might more easily have Souls for that can see the light of day for Cursed City
@@littlearrow1610 That's the thing, I don't have a reviver in sacred order. in fact only Mistress is the non-void and non-legendary that can revive in that faction, he didn't even bother reading the kit and it's literally 2 turn cooldown continuous heals. Lots of CCs recommend building faction wars champ regen gears to sustain, but aren't continuous heals offer the same? you just need her to be fast and that's basically free regens for everyone.
nogoryo actually is a good nuker, he is a tier below genbo interm of nuker kits but damage wise they're on the same level, and he has lockout skill and block buffs and buff steal.
Thanks for the annual review. It's interesting so see which champions have fallen into the "Trash" category due to power creep. I watch these videos to know what I can safely use as food. Although Cursed City can trick you sometimes. And of course, some of the marginal or bad champions can be very handy early to mid-game depending on what else you have.
Hordin actually hits like a truck when built properly, and locking out his A2 means that he can keep getting turn...after turn...after turn...after turn...
I actually disagree with Zelotah, I think he's quite good. He has an 40% (booked) Shield on all allies based on HIS HP for 3 turns and also brings 15% heal on all allies for 2 turns. The sleeps are just a good addition to his kit.
did you nuke the reviews for the buffed champions? Because Supreme Athel is a lot better now than she's rated when she was bad. the reviews of buffed champions need to be reset once the buff is live. Both in game and on the popular websites (yours and Ayumi's). Occult Brawler is an absolute beast. I fought him in Tag team arena and he just wouldn't die, I had to give up, because I didn't want to sit there all day, my champions didn't die either.
Ambassador Lethelin is amazing in hydra with a Hex Set he can deal with multiple heads or just faction wars with a stun set .. He controls, taunts, cleanses and heals all while having great base stats and 106 speed he is very far from a "trashy champ".
I dropped my saltshaker when you said ostrox is garbage. Only 3 turn block buff champ on a 3 turn CD? Increase acc with a mini cleanse? Come on HH, do you even play the game? Hahha
@@Eurodancer89 wierd. I replaced Uggo with him and I added an extra 10% to the total run. I just like how he's void with no weak hits. Uggo heals more but he's better at controlling buffs on the heads.
His own website has him rated as a 4 star and is rated as a 5 star against Hydra and Spider. But...trash? lol Either HH doesn't use epics anymore because they're beneath him or his site is in desperate need of updates.
What always strikes me with these lists is how many of the most absolute trash tier 0 use epics are OP as and when you face them in Faction Wars. Like Thenasil on Faction Wars 19.
Relickeeper is my farmer for nightmare campaign even after 3 years. Not trash and the only guaranteed champ farmer in the game. Since you can get him really early, 100% build out. You can do better, but he is one you can build and never have to re-visit him other than to make him better.
Thanks HH for taking the time to make this video! Extremely helpful for someone like me. I'm new to the game. Been playing about 10-11 weeks now and videos like this and the HH website make my life a lot easier! I might have gotten rid of some good champs and invested into some trash ones lol. Ah well, it is what it is. Thanks again for the video!
Had some fun actually using Relickeeper against Tainted Skavag in Sintranos... he cleaned up the spiderlings with extra turn after extra turn and dropped the big Spider down in the process.
Delaaja can be very useful against the Scarab in Sintranos. I paired two of her with an Aox (because of his passive increasing her poisons and her passive counterattacking constantly (since Aox is also a Lizardman)) in the first rotation (if I’m remembering the rotations correctly).
lightsworn also has increase defense. so attack down speed down def up 3 hitter and revive on death just in case, absolute carry, scales with DEF also, really under represented here
Jotunn is super useful for early clan boss; his 4 turn hp burn is the longest Lasting burn, and it's on a 3 turn cooldown. Excellent for frost spider. And use a debuff spreader, hp burn on all enemies for 4 turns, not a bad mechanic. Underrated.
thanks again HH, these are the types of videos we need🔥🔥 (free and or new players in a 5 year old game). i respect all the work you put into your channel and the dedication to this awesome game. keep on rockin ! 🤘🤙
Wuzgars reflect damage isn't working properly, it doesn't take any of the shield of FN.. it's not working for me and hasn't since I got him, definitely needs to be fixed...
The reflect damage isn't great with wuuzgar for fire knight because he places it alongside a shield. The reflect damage will not hit the fire knight shield unless the fire knight breaks through your team's shield with his attack.
I have to disagree on both Lady Annabelle and Valla... Annabelle has been crazy for me... She is incredible in Arena, good in dungeons and with her passive, and with the "Crushing Rend" blessing... She is beyond amazing... She has been so helpful to me... Can also be used in Clan boss Valla, honestly is amazing, Removes shields from enemies then attcks them then places Decrease defense on them... She places a shield buff and increase def on herself for three turns, while also boosting her turn meter... Her passive reduces incoming damage while under a shield buff... Great video by the way...
@@HyperX_Gaming1234 I checked her latest read of the kit. It 80% after booked. Also, if fully booked, she can do: Rip shields, then Decrease def 60% for 2 turn on a 2-turn CD with her A2, which smacks like a truck. Place a 20% shield (HP-base) & 60% increase def for 3 turns, also on a 2-turn CD, this skill also increase turnmeter by 50%! I can't believe how he underrated her, given what she can do and how hard she's to kill.
kallia is one of the hardest hitting epics in the game and may man said shes usless lol. she almost carried me thru factions wars and she puts burns and heal reduction. so i wouldnt say useless
Aiela isn't trash i could see that he didn't even really watch her kit and how she works he just looked at the buffs and debuffs and didn't give it any second thought
Hellhades you need to do a 6 star blessing for each epic and legendary champ. I pulled a 6 star Urogrim and don’t know what to put on him. I just use him in clan boss for now for poison but could easily be subbed out
Dude any 6* blessing for a CB champ is cruelty after that is Smite on a leggo or Phantom on multiple hit champs or heaven cast on Rathalos style single target nukes
almost feel like these sorts of videos are a bit pointless now with sintranos, because even the "useless" options might be the only option if you need a specific mechanic in a particular faction ole restricted stage when you start trying to 100% it. with that said, always appreciate the content and effort spent to create it!
Rowan has a heal reduction a1 that I used to kill Amius, you missed that. Why does everyone skip over Pharsalas? I've used him against Dark fae, hydra, CC and DT waves all to good effect.
... but see, some aren't end game. they are trying to finish faction wars. I leveled and ascended jingwon... know what? I got Lydia! "don't level trash".... tone deaf.
It hurts me to hear you call Fang Cleric trash he carried me through the game for a long time when I started granted that was a while ago. At least Ash has seen sense and changed his opinion.
Just throwing this out there but this is a very fast review that doesn’t explain how overall they may be “ trash “ but for 1 or 2 areas in the game they are usable. Just saying new players will find tons of use with these “ trash “ champs in faction wars. Plus this is a strategy based game , we have seen time and time again “ trash “ champs come back to become godlike when a new comp , unit , or buff comes out and opens up a new possibility we may not have known , seen , or had access too originally. Overall agree but just throwing that out there as I imagine new players will find this video useful.
Honestly when I first got frostbringer I thought she had freeze debuff was so disappointing when I saw I was wrong she needs a buff give her freeze debuff
Captain Temila sets nukes for my visix and is in a shield set, finished whole dark elfs FW without reviver and i keep that team of captain temila,visix,madam serris, painkeeper speedtuned for stage 20 farming, calling her useless isa bit excessive u just broke her little black heart ;(
Nia is a lot better than you make her out to be. I use Nia almost everywhere in PVE content. Her A1 does do some decent damage and can farm brutal campaign, plus she is tough to kill. I do use her in a few of my Ice Golem teams, and she is used in one of my Hydra teams. Great for Doom tower hard as well for keeping your team alive in longer battles. And of course, a great champion for faction wars. My only gripe about Nia is that I wish she had the big version of strengthen, and her multipliers just a little bit higher on her A1. Other than that, awesome support tank Geomancer, I can't figure out how anyone can use him in clan boss unless it's on Maneater unkillable teams. I have a friend that uses Geo in his team but he dies rather quickly. And his passive doesn't start to ramp up till later in the fight.
good call outs on Armina and Shatterbones (I know they CAN be good), I was lured to invest in Armina from reviews here on YT, which compared to Uugo, whom I got same week, for my F2P accts, it was not even a close call in usefulness...
Disagree on Giscard. He brings aoe Provoke for faction wars. Turn off his A2, and he's solid early to mid game in Clan Boss with his increase attack and defense a3. Then he's constantly applying decrease attack on the CB.
YEP giscard rocks, yet again HH delivers the opinion of someone who has every champ in the game.

I just want to say that Lodric (10:20) is a good shield-champ for Borgoth. He has only 2 turn CD for his shields. For an epic is this really nice.
Giscard is good if you need control
Like he says Eolfrig is good for an early clan boss team aftter saying Giscard is trash ... Giscard is good in a 2:1 team he was very powercreeped but still
So off the mark on Giscard, he carries in Clanboss, good early PvP, and has use in hydra too. Put him in Regen gear and he can solo Scarab king
Exactly, I dont agree with Giscard, but sometimes i guess the pros have shitty takes too
Never used him much outside of faction wars, but he performs well in Faction Wars, and his skills look fairly good. Not sure why Hell Hades has him rated so low.

He doesn't know what half these champs even do. These are mostly bad takes. Pure entertainment value because people like a good roast I suppose.
he's wrong about some of them... I didn't keep a list of them, but he was right about most of the ones that are good.

I recently got a 5 star blessing for direndil and he does a TON of damage on all his skills!
Canoness' A3 gives 3 great buffs on a 2 turn CD.
Also, I know what you mean by placing debbufs, but none of these pixels hit "physically" xD
2 epics I have relied on - Pann and Hoskarul. Both are in my faction teams. Pann put me over the edge in Sylvan Watchers since none of them do damage. Pann does decent damage and has some control.
only problem with wuzgar is the shield he puts out usually keeps the reflect damage from working against fire knight
Rowan is great for Amius as well, with her heal reduction A1. I've used her in 2 rotations so far on Hard

7:36 Canoness doesn't get enough love. She has continuous heal on all allies on a 2 turn cooldown and yet trash? not even "faction wars viable" ?

Canoness post-buff is awesome. Ash rated her first in his "10-slept-on great epics". Feels like Hades slept on the buff ;)

Wuzgars reflect damage hasn't been working to take layers off fire knights shield. Don't know if they changed the mechanics or if it's just a bug
Shield has always nullified Reflect buffs. They need to revamp that champ.
Giscard is still in my FW. And still cant get over using Elenaril as chicken coz u said she was trash in one of ur early vids
Don't listen to HH's hot takes. Lesson learned.

Valla, honestly is amazing, Removes shields from enemies then attcks them then places Decrease defense on them... She places a shield buff and increase def on herself for three turns, while also boosting her turn meter... Her passive reduces incoming damage while under a shield buff...
Great video by the way...
She looks like a good tank champ. Her Dec Defense should be 75% chance at least.
@@johnhayden8666 If you give her some books, her Decrease defense will increase to 75% chance
@@HyperX_Gaming1234 I checked her latest read of the kit. It 80% after booked. Also, if fully booked, she can do:
Rip shields, then Decrease def 60% for 2 turn on a 2-turn CD with her A2, which smacks like a truck.
Place a 20% shield (HP-base) & 60% increase def for 3 turns, also on a 2-turn CD, this skill also increase turnmeter by 50%!
I can't believe how he underrated her, given what she can do and how hard she's to kill.
Good video , i ain't no champ collector nor do i care about Cursed City , i mean ugh .so most of these epics are just food. This is helpful
Thank you! I never know if I use the wrong champ for food. Now I have at least an informed decision. Lol
kallia is one of the hardest hitting epics in the game and may man said shes usless lol. she almost carried me thru factions wars and she puts burns and heal reduction. so i wouldnt say useless
Aiela isn't trash i could see that he didn't even really watch her kit and how she works he just looked at the buffs and debuffs and didn't give it any second thought
Lorn the cutter is quite useful in fire knight.
I used rowan as heal red champ for amius hard on 2 rotation. I build her tanky and it is not the easiest to keep alive but did thw work
Hellhades you need to do a 6 star blessing for each epic and legendary champ. I pulled a 6 star Urogrim and don’t know what to put on him. I just use him in clan boss for now for poison but could easily be subbed out
Dude any 6* blessing for a CB champ is cruelty after that is Smite on a leggo or Phantom on multiple hit champs or heaven cast on Rathalos style single target nukes
I’m nervous to treat any of them like trash anymore and use them as food because who knows if I will need them for the Cursed City!
Exactly. This video series needs to die.
almost feel like these sorts of videos are a bit pointless now with sintranos, because even the "useless" options might be the only option if you need a specific mechanic in a particular faction
ole restricted stage when you start trying to 100% it. with that said, always appreciate the content and effort spent to create it!
Rowan has a heal reduction a1 that I used to kill Amius, you missed that. Why does everyone skip over Pharsalas? I've used him against Dark fae, hydra, CC and DT waves all to good effect.
Pharsalas is a sleeper. He's so annoying in Arena Defense.
Jizoh is slept on for Scarab, its tragic.
"Giscard... Trash." 🤦
I get the feeling he doesn't even really know/hasn't played a lot of these epics lol. Giscard is kind of amazing.
41:48 The rector a1 has been fixed
... but see, some aren't end game. they are trying to finish faction wars. I leveled and ascended jingwon... know what? I got Lydia! "don't level trash".... tone deaf.
i thought the exact same thing about Eolfrig that’s hella funny lol
Pretty crazy you know all these champions by memory. You're wild HH lolol
Haha 😛
Forgot Alika can increase cool downs! Thanks for the vid!
Connelia can't solo bommal now coz they nerfed frenzy fck for gods sake. Had to miss a rotation until i booked gnishak
Armina got buffed by Armani at least n FW. Her passive makes her turn cycle like crazy
It hurts me to hear you call Fang Cleric trash he carried me through the game for a long time when I started granted that was a while ago. At least Ash has seen sense and changed his opinion.
Just throwing this out there but this is a very fast review that doesn’t explain how overall they may be “ trash “ but for 1 or 2 areas in the game they are usable. Just saying new players will find tons of use with these “ trash “ champs in faction wars.
Plus this is a strategy based game , we have seen time and time again “ trash “ champs come back to become godlike when a new comp , unit , or buff comes out and opens up a new possibility we may not have known , seen , or had access too originally.
Overall agree but just throwing that out there as I imagine new players will find this video useful.
Zargala STILL rips waves. I don't understand why but when I use her in FW my times get better. She shreds STILL
Honestly when I first got frostbringer I thought she had freeze debuff was so disappointing when I saw I was wrong she needs a buff give her freeze debuff
Dirandil's aoe can smack really hard.
Captain Temila sets nukes for my visix and is in a shield set, finished whole dark elfs FW without reviver and i keep that team of captain temila,visix,madam serris, painkeeper speedtuned for stage 20 farming, calling her useless isa bit excessive u just broke her little black heart ;(
Aeila is amazing. SHe helped me immensely to get through faction wars and is a very solid support...
Candlestick Head 😂😂😅😂😂 Classic HH! Aww, man!!
Yeah i really need this my epics are piling up
Valla has big version not the little version decrease defense and damage mitigation in her passive
And she can rip shield. Valla is good champ, hard to kill too.
Made it to the end!
Ambassador can be used to farm shogun 25
he is a top epic in hydra in correct comp
Many thanks for this EPIC champions review (sorry about the pun) 😅
1st sylven dude can one shot in sin city
Been many years since i got any house points lol
Thanks for grinding this out every year! HH, you are a champ! 50 house points to YOU!
Ostrox (undead) on the site shows updated March 24, 2024 as rated 4 stars out of 5.............but here you call him trash?
Great update,
Canoness trash?! I really didn't expect that, she has been carrying my team in CB with her leech and continuous heals 😢
Nia is a lot better than you make her out to be. I use Nia almost everywhere in PVE content. Her A1 does do some decent damage and can farm brutal campaign, plus she is tough to kill.
I do use her in a few of my Ice Golem teams, and she is used in one of my Hydra teams. Great for Doom tower hard as well for keeping your team alive in longer battles. And of course, a great champion for faction wars.
My only gripe about Nia is that I wish she had the big version of strengthen, and her multipliers just a little bit higher on her A1. Other than that, awesome support tank
Geomancer, I can't figure out how anyone can use him in clan boss unless it's on Maneater unkillable teams. I have a friend that uses Geo in his team but he dies rather quickly. And his passive doesn't start to ramp up till later in the fight.
eolfrig is definitely one of the devs's kids. i'm certain of it
Can Hellhades really recognize and talk about every champ just off the top of his head? Or are there hidden cuts in the video?
Can you tell me what Apocathery heal scales off?
Crit rate
The Ally's HP.
good call outs on Armina and Shatterbones (I know they CAN be good), I was lured to invest in Armina from reviews here on YT, which compared to Uugo, whom I got same week, for my F2P accts, it was not even a close call in usefulness...
I’ve been waiting for this. Let’s go 2024 Best epic in RSL!
Dwarves're the best faction for epics.
eofrig looks like saph fr
every time he gets to a champ i have... "pretty trash"
This list is for bored whales. A lot of these champs are good champs.
Did this man really just say Akoth is better than Archmage Helmut? Oh Lord.
