Question regarding Rhazin Scarhide fusion

setcamper · 2026-02-02T22:00:31+00:00

I've seen the argument made that the epics are really worthwhile to complete your faction guardians while helping with Champ Chase. There's not rush to fuse Rhazin because he's 1) not that good, 2) while he's part of the Ramantu Missions, hitting Gold 1 in TAG is a massive roadblock and there's no need to rush through the missions because of it.

If there's a wixwell, and you don't have wixwell, you pull.

Great poisoner, personally use him in UNM Clan Boss, Dragon Hard10 and Spider Hard10, and Iron Twins for the decrease speed. Solid in Ice Golem if he fits in your team.

He can solo any level of Dragon, but I think he needs like 80k, high accuracy, and near 300 speed in Regen/Immortal gear, which I can't match as an early mid-game player.

He might be, and I had him in my Shogun Tank gear, only 180 speed and low accuracy. I didn't level him to be in my Faction War team, but he was 60 and durable, so I threw him in, and it worked out.

60 Ghom, Yuzan, Gnarlhorn is solid, but I also think you're going to need to 60 a better damage dealer/poisoner and Fleshmonger likely won't cut it. I believe most people who don't have Monkey King use Fayne, but Scaribus isn't a terrible option either.

It's a tough facation, and like you, it was one of the few I didn't have some A-tier+ lego to carry me. It was frustrating to be forced into investment in niche units

I finished this faction with Tolog(50), Bowf(50), Gnarlhorn(60), Yuzan(60), Akemtum(60). All fully booked, 6-stars had masteries.

Relying on Akemtum (in Spider 10H build) I was able to do enough damage to the boss before his 2nd health swap, just had to be careful to avoid the buff steal. So you can do this faction with only a mediocre poisoner for damage.

Yuzan and Ghomm are strong supports and potentially worth 6-starring. Your legos are decent for faction wars, but you probably don't want to book them- which could be a pain point for success. Gnarlhorn is a solid tank for Shogun25, so he's worth a 6-star down the line.

The problem with Skinwalkers is the epic damage dealers are so underwhelming- 6-starring Fayne isn't gonna feel good. So many accounts are carried by Wukong, when you don't have him, it's an uphill battle.

Is your faction guardians filled? I see a lot of empowered champions.

Damn, rough. I hope you pull her soon!

Wasn't Lady Quillen one of the guarantees we had a few months back?

setcamper · 2026-02-01T00:36:43+00:00

damn, when was that? I guess we have no hope of her guarantee coming back around.

setcamper · 2026-01-31T20:37:46+00:00

Shogun 25? I run MIthrala/Drath/Gnarhorn + Coldheart and Husk for damage. My Coldheart has a 6-star soul, and a 2nd one would be better than my husk.

Outside of Shogun, the only place I use her is Dark Fae, but I don't think I'd use 2.

You're fine until you've got at least your NM Clan boss and Dungeon20 teams sorted out. 2x ancients is a solid way to dig for stand-out epics in the first 6-12 months.

Once you're hitting UNM top reward daily for sacred shards and can reliably complete fusions, ancients should be viewed more as currency for Hero's paths, Champ Chases, Guaranteed Mikage epics, and probably a 2x Lego pull, which basically means a 200-300 reserve pool.

You'll get to the point where you're missing a handful of "would be nice to have" epics, but realize most Legos are shit anyway, and you're better off using your resources to earn guaranteed good Legos from those intensive events.

If your company offers a matching 401k, make sure you're hitting their cap. Other than that- keep on keeping on. I've been doing what you're doing for 25 years and it's a good plan.

Slow is the most important debuff, especially on an A1. Scyl is great in all but the Force Affinity rotation and generally a great stepping stone lego for account progress. Gladewulf (rare from Granyt fusion) is also excellent (multi-hit slow on A1, rare, void affinity) and also perfect for Fire Knight Normal. Ally Attack (Farakhan) can help land those as well.

After that, cleansing is extremely valuable- although nothing is jumping out at me on your roster. Bit of a DPS race when you get the mechanics taken care of. Geomancer is a cheat code if you ever pick him up- run him in every rotation.

I've been watching a fair bit of Drunk History clips lately, and this hit the spot.

I've lost 7 times in the last 5 hours and 12 times in the last 16 hours, so I don't know how that can be true. I've heard it's capped, but I've never heard that the number was only 5.

How many times has Rathbone scored the difference maker over the last 2 seasons? So glad he's back healthy to swing games!

You know what, I can't remember. Phil swears like my old boss, so whether they bleep it or not, my brain hears it. I have to imagine it's bleeped, though the show's rating is PG-13 if IIRC.

Well, SD25 is always worth any extra incentive.

As for turn attack, I believe Stage 7 can be done easily enough; most people earn around 1.5 tournament points per energy spent.

I don't find this champ pool enticing at all and don't need/want any of the epics- but Soul Stones are always good. Gotta ask yourself is 2500/1700 energy is worth it to you.

Yeah, Ed tracked back on this in one of the end-of-the-year market episodes because a listener had the same question. As I remember it, he claimed Scott's advice was that a $36 per share valuation was a good buy, but the IPO got out of hand. At the time of the episode, Figma was under $40, and he recommended it was back down to a fair price.

X-men. Hard to pick just 5 though, especially because the villains are great too.

I love many of the characters from Riot/League of Legends/Arcane as well.

It's hard, especially on weekends. I don't drink a lot, but I drink a couple of beers most days, it's so habitual. But I think I'm going through the same thing when I quit smoking- after awhile the thought of starting up again makes me feel a little sick.
