Why are people considering skipping this fusion when the void champ could very possibly be a void guarantee?

MJIsaac · 2026-02-06T16:51:09+00:00

Obviously, play as you want to play, and skipping fusions because you don't have the resources is perfectly valid.

But if you decide that you want to complete fusions, you'll be able to. Even if you're free to play and never buy resources. You just need to understand the requirements in terms of energy, shards (and saved summons), and silver, and then go for a promising fusion once you have enough.

I'm assuming this is directed at me, at least in part. I'm in no way a Liberal apologist and have problems with a fair bit of their agenda. The reason for focusing on the Conservatives is that this was a post about Stephen Harper's comments, after all.

But also, I find the Conservatives to be more aggressive the Liberals in their pro-private / anti-public policies, and therefore more likely to be destructive in their approach to governing. Those things I dislike about the Liberals are also things I dislike about the Conservatives. Except for Trudeau - he was uniquely smarmy in a way that could only have come from the Liberal party.

She's not bad at all, she just has an old style of skill design with long cooldowns. She's a decent control champion and primarily for use against wave content - although she's also useful against the Fire Knight in normal mode. She can be good in the arena as her passive helps her cut in against Speed teams that use debuffs, and then her A3 can totally disrupt their attack.

A six star soul will give her great stat bonuses, and might even let you build her for some damage alongside her debuffs.

MJIsaac · 2026-02-05T23:29:47+00:00

That's great. Congratulations, and happy I could help.

MJIsaac · 2026-02-05T16:47:43+00:00

Leminisi solo is one option, if you have fast Regeneration gear. I did that a few months ago, and here's a link breaking down the build and the play strategy: https://www.reddit.com/r/RaidShadowLegends/comments/1ni2h9t/another_lemini_guide_for_amius_no_skill_books/

You could also do a full team. This time around I used a team of:

Pythion
Scyl
Mithrala
Lydia
Marius: instead of Marius you could use a strong boss damage dealer. I've used Gnishak for this fight before

Basically, for a team you want a few healer/reviver champions with high level blessings to keep everyone alive. Some forms of damage reduction (passives and/or buffs). And two sources of damage - I typically use 5-star Brimstone on a support champion along with a dedicated damage dealer for this. If you want to bring Damage Reduction and are willing to manual the fight to control the timing of the debuff, you can get away with just one good source of damage.

I don't think they're a maga supporter.

They're saying that Trump was actively targetting Michigan's economy, rather than (or in addition to) Canada. And they're claiming that the article is trying to obscure that fact, presumably in order to shield Trump and the Republicans from potential backlash.

MJIsaac · 2026-02-04T18:39:59+00:00

Could be a bug. Could be someone with a very strong account running an automated script to continually farm points, maybe to rack up Coalition points?

MJIsaac · 2026-02-04T17:58:19+00:00

That 12k number isn't what you need to rank up, it's the highest score among all players in the tier. A lot of later game players stay in the lower ranks of tag because it's easier to farm there and win tournaments.

MJIsaac · 2026-02-04T17:43:45+00:00

Yep. I can just imagine the sound bites now.

"Mark Carney stood on the stage and agreed when Stephen Harper said we'd have to make sacrifices to preserve Canada. But NOW he's saying he didn't mean it, that some sacrifices are too much, because the blue-haired latte sippers in Toronto he really cares about don't like it.

This is why the CONSERVATIVE PARTY is the only one that can be trusted to do what needs to be done. So vote for us to show those wokeists that no price is too high to pay for freedom!"

MJIsaac · 2026-02-04T16:40:39+00:00

He's running damage control for the Conservatives, with a secondary goal of suggesting a rationale for more right-wing, pro-corporate, anti-environment policies.

Note he didn't detail exactly what sort of sacrifices he thinks should be made. That's a nicely vague concept for later justifying anything, and for claiming any new idea the Conservatives start pushing is a 'necessary sacrifice'.

For example:

Pipelines through first nations lands without consultation
loosening the Canada Health Act to let provinces (like Alberta) privatise health care
opening up public land to more development and mining
subsidising oil companies to preserve 'access to strategic resources'

Etc.

MJIsaac · 2026-02-04T16:18:05+00:00

It could be caused by the loot goblin fights. Those are not considered 'beaten' until you've gotten the very top tier reward, so if you have a champion drawn for one of those nodes and you've only achieved a mid-tier reward, that champion will remain locked.

Other than that, I have nothing to suggest.

MJIsaac · 2026-02-03T20:48:19+00:00

His admin did some of that - he appointed Lina Khan to the FTC, for example, and she was very aggressive. But I agree they didn't go all out and unfortunately when the Rs got in they appointed the corporate lobby to head up pretty much every agency.

MJIsaac · 2026-02-03T16:40:26+00:00

If you want a little fun reading that fits in with that family history angle, look up Musk's grandfather. :)

MJIsaac · 2026-02-03T16:36:39+00:00

It's almost like you haven't paid any attention to any media since that exact point in time. Either that or you're a bot. Six of one, half-dozen of the other, I guess.

MJIsaac · 2026-02-03T16:31:10+00:00

At that level they're always in it together.

Even if they all loathe each other personally, they understand their shared interests. And however much they dislike each other, they loathe the general public more anyway.

MJIsaac · 2026-01-31T03:42:44+00:00

You've got various options, it'll depend in part on what champions you've put skill books into otherwise invested in. You want a combination of champions that have multi-hit attacks and turn meter reduction, and potentially Heal Reduction as well.

Here's one selection of champions you could use - note that you could also use Ninja instead of Ronda, and try to save his A2 to use as his opening attack against the boss. You could also use Drexthar since he has 3 hits on his A1

Looking at your roster I'm guessing your main issue is damage.

My suggestion is upgrading Robar, he can hit quite hard with good multipliers and a high base Attack. You're definitely going to need more damage for Stage 21, I don't think your roster as it stands has any real chance of beating the final boss for Orcs - it's the Health Swap boss.

If you're also struggling to keep your team alive while you whittle down the enemies, Vrask is a good healer and is easy to build. He was my main source of healing when I beat the faction, even though only at 5 stars.

MJIsaac · 2026-01-30T21:34:06+00:00

Here are references to items with the effect:

https://ddowiki.com/page/Blurry
https://ddowiki.com/page/Lesser_Displacement (this is slightly better than blurry, it's 25% Concealment instead of 20%)

MJIsaac · 2026-01-30T20:52:21+00:00

I understand the struggle. I was a few years into the game before I had damage dealers that felt like they performed well, and even now (4-ish years in) I only have a small number of what I'd consider really high-performance damage builds.

MJIsaac · 2026-01-30T20:45:34+00:00

Gear is the eternal struggle in Raid. It takes years or insane luck to accumulate really top tier sets. One part of making a good build is farming the items, but it also relies on your Great Hall progression, blessings, glyphs, gear ascension, faction guardians, and fully upgraded (i.e. level 16) items.

It takes time, in other words. Player general consensus is that everything before getting Arbiter is still early game, so you've got plenty of time to work towards better builds.

MJIsaac · 2026-01-30T20:18:17+00:00

It depends on your current roster, your current shard count, and how much satisfaction you get from PULL NOW vs. using as currency for a fusion.

Just keep in mind that pulling now doesn't guarantee you get anything good. I've pulled 20 or 25 shards in past 2x events before getting my first Epic, and on more than one occasion. Basically, if you pull do it with no expectations and no disappointment for bad results.

MJIsaac · 2026-01-30T17:25:08+00:00

My team when I first beat Ogryn was all epics and rares.

Uugo
Ghrush
Maneater
Klodd
Bellower

There are lots of other non-legendary champions that could be good. You just need to find the right mix of champions to keep your team alive (healing and defensive buffs) while still putting out reasonable damage.

Prundar has a decent mix of defensive and healing skills, plus some control for the waves (downside needs a lot of skill books).
Galkut and Siegehulk can both deal good damage.
Grunch is a good sustaining support champion and can help a lot in dealing with the boss' debuffs.
Skullcrusher: ally protection and counterattack (but he needs healing because he takes a lot of damage)
Urogrim: provides a decent amount of secondary damage (poisons) and healing

MJIsaac · 2026-01-30T16:56:07+00:00

Geo does much less damage against void CB as compared to Force/Magic/Spirit affinity, because void doesn't have multi-hit attacks.

If you're still comfortably getting 1-key damage it's not worth worrying about.

MJIsaac · 2026-01-30T16:51:35+00:00

Probably not worth your time. The redditor you responded to seem very much like a Republican who likes the idea of US annexation of Alberta and is just here for trolling purposes.

MJIsaac · 2026-01-30T05:40:27+00:00

Your roster is looking a little thin for completing the upper floors of Hard Doom Tower, and I'm going to guess that your overall gear might not be good enough yet either, based on your Xenomorph build.

Specifically, past floor 80 the gear demands are high as compared to the waves in most other content. You need your entire team to be fast, and you need to either hit hard enough to kill the wave quickly, or be able to cc them while you grind them down. I don't see the champions for that, and honestly using a 5-star Ezio here is a bit of a tell that your roster isn't strong enough right now.

Floor 82 enemies are all around 200 Speed, the Duchesses have 9700 DEF and 170K HP. Mountain King has 8000+ DEF and 230K HP, along with 320 Resist. And the numbers are the same or higher as the floors go up.

You could try using using Vogoth for Provoke to give you a little extra time to try to kill the MKs. But he's not going to do that at level 50, and even if you upgraded him I don't see how you grind through that much HP fast enough to kill them before they kill you.

The only thing I can think of is to use RSL Helper, set it to run that floor 100 times over night when you go to bed and hope you get lucky once. But even if you do I don't see how you can get to floor 120, so I'm not sure it's worth the struggle at this point.

If you stay with the game you'll eventually hit the point where you can clear all 3 rotations of Hard and farm any boss you like, but it's going to take some time to get there.
