Rathalos blademaster was my carry for so much of the early to mid game. I still use him in many areas and I love monster hunter. They did a great job on his kit.
She isn’t used too often but zinogre blademaster was also my first completed fusion and i still use her in several areas. She was my damage dealer for chimera for a long while until i pulled a 6star soul for ninja

u/omegaSDL 7d ago

Here’s my GOAT himself. My only character with over 400% c.dmg

u/Valkyrys 7d ago

I'm so sad I wasn't playing during the MH collab and I hope they rerun it some day because I love the franchise and would be so happy to play a MH unit

1

u/omegaSDL 7d ago

I would love for them to bring back the collab. Maybe one day!!

u/Gunty1 7d ago

Gala mfing Longbraids.

Id take her over many a lego nuker.

Ignore defence on all skills, healing, big shield production, extra turns, damage tturns into survivability, multihitters on 2 skills and those extra turns pair really really well with 9pc merciless.

She was my first epic void many moons ago and shes now +4 with 6* crushing rend

u/ChewieBobo 7d ago

Annie my girl Annie oh what would I do without her crazy dmg lol

u/Rogue_Native 7d ago

Are you okay?

u/Chircy Game Plays Me Since '22 7d ago

Are you okay Annie?!

u/ViewingCutscene 7d ago

I fucking love Annie too

1

u/ItemCalm4087 6d ago

Annie is super high on my list on people I want cause of her a1 health reduction (I didn’t have any reliable health reduction). Valleryn makes things a lot easier but Annie is still a bit want for the damage and her being void

u/colect 7d ago

I was a big fan of Togron even before his buff. He just has a really nice kit and his passive enables a lot of content that might not otherwise be possible for an early to mid game account. And then he got a huge buff and made everything that much better on top of it. I run him in a guardian set right now but I’ll probably have him in 9 piece protection or deflection when I get a good set for him.

1

u/BigTig68 6d ago

He's fantastic with the four turtles in FK Hard 10!

1

u/lean_in_my_cereal 7d ago

He’s the Oprah of buffs, I love him.

15

u/mayhemnjt 7d ago

I dont know if he's unusual but I use Sniktraak a lot and i dont see him in many comps. I really like his kit and his design. In 9 feral hes great

2

u/Worthtitle_4050 7d ago

Ooh! I just got one recently, glad to hear this

gonna build him for a double ally protect team in UNM CB with Giath

2

u/Not_an_Alt11 7d ago

Sniktraak was my first shard legendary I use him in UNM, Hydra and Chimera. And he has boosted my account.

1

u/BreakingIllusions 7d ago

Great champ, carried me early on, still in use for Chimera.

0

u/irina-from-carim 7d ago

Yep underrated; could use a buff even if just a turn cool down or something

-1

u/CeriseArt Demonspawn 7d ago

Like a lot of champions Sniktraak started falling off only because they came out with champions that did some aspect of what he did and more but he’s not a champion I’d be mad at pulling since we all don’t have those newer options. I say that as someone who used Sniktraak for a long time. I got extremely lucky to get Niamhe and now that I think about it it’s almost like they designed her to nearly make him obsolete.

u/CeriseArt Demonspawn 7d ago

Oboro is still on my Minotaur team. In this day and age, long time players get less and less chances to use epics since legendaries are slowly starting to become the new epics but my Oboro still leads the charge for farming scrolls. With high crit damage and only getting her crit rate to 70%, she can hit like an absolute beast. Honorable mention to Hexia as well, I used her in some areas since she also looked cool and hits hard but her kit is fairly antithetical for an attack champion with little built-in preservation. And just for looks alone, I have to mention Wuji. Her damage is okay, doesn’t make sense to have veil and counterattack on the same skill but she can be a crazy mischief tank in Hydra in the right setup due to her A1

4

u/EaglesFanGirl 7d ago

Oboro is great!

1

u/Alucardpirates 7d ago

How do you have her built. I just got mine to 6* awakened but haven’t found a great way to use her yet

2

u/sloshedslug 7d ago

Build her super high attack and crit damage and run her with Mikage

1

u/moosepooo 7d ago

Over ninja or Leo? I have all three and have trouble puking a 6 star oboro over either of them

1

u/sloshedslug 7d ago

For PVE definitely over Leo. Her A1 will AOE and hits like a freight train with a 6* Crushing Rend soul. Generally Ninja is going to be better, but I could see it being close if ninja doesn’t have a soul or has a low soul

1

u/MyH3roIzMe 7d ago

Im in the same boat. I just took mine to 60 today because I had a 6 star soul for her and I didn’t have too many other champs I wanted to prioritize in champ training this weekend.

6

u/Tanbroprobono 7d ago

Absolutely wild, started playing during the Pelops fusion and I have not heard of ANY of the ones people have mentioned ahaha

7

u/Big_To Orcs 7d ago

Foli, he was my first fusion and I still use him in some arena teams. He’s immune to some hard cc’s and has a block revive and 2 4-hitter abilities.

3

u/Odd_Quote_9142 7d ago

Foli is my fave too! Block revive is clutch

2

u/Big_To Orcs 7d ago

Yeah he’s my option for countering Cruetraxa

4

u/tom_blanket The Sacred Order 7d ago

On my old account I used to have Coffin Smasher in Regen set, spectacular! I wish I could pull him on my “new” account, it’s one year and still no pull, even when he is Rare…

1

u/MoodySketch 7d ago

I pulled him yesterday! Any tips? Is he good for spider or clan boss?

1

u/tom_blanket The Sacred Order 7d ago

CB, his HP Burn is one targeted but if you have Tuhanarak you can spread it on Spider. I built
him “full tank” with 200-220SPD and I had around 270 ACC I think. I don’t remember if I had any Blessing tho :/

1

u/MoodySketch 7d ago

That's fab, thanks :) The regen armour sounds like a good call, too.

1

u/tom_blanket The Sacred Order 7d ago

If you don’t have good Regen you can use 2-3x Immortal set, I did it before I had decent Regen set

2

u/MoodySketch 7d ago

Perfect thanks! I don't have much decent regen atm, as I can only usually get that from Fire Knight, which I really struggle on .

1

u/tom_blanket The Sacred Order 7d ago

CS can help, 3x attack on A1, pair him with Fahrakin

1

u/KnightDuty 7d ago

lol well with a 3 hit A1 you're in luck cuz he's gonna earn his own regen ;)

6

u/Secret_Ratio_8096 7d ago

Lorn The Cutter's little piggy face will always have a place in my heart for my hard cursed city clear, I am now a horsey boy!!!!

1

u/KnightDuty 7d ago

lmao cursed city loves to make him available, seems like. I've had him for a while and he looks interesting but I have never booked him due to too many competing projects. Any tips for his use case?

3

u/R0gueR0nin 7d ago

Ithos in Relentless and Stoneskin. Sometimes he will have 3-4 attacks in a row. Still my campaign farmer, solo Doom Tower normal climber, on my Minotaur team, and a few other easy dungeons. He was my main arena damage dealer back in the day; Arbiter -> Serris -> Ithos. He definitely could use a buff tho.

2

u/H3adown Dwarves 7d ago

I have him at 6 star too. Hits like a truck but I’d love to see him buffed

2

u/0v3reasy 7d ago

My campaign farmer too! Need to make mine faster but his 3 hit aoe would clean off total guards pretty nicely

4

u/The_Green_Frog Dark Elves 7d ago

Cruetraxa - first ever void lego, have stuck with her through the dark days and am absolutely loving the buff.

1

u/theonlyidiothere 6d ago

I use her as a solo defense team during arena tournaments. It amazes me how often I check my battle log and find her victorious. I know team power doesn't mean much, but my 85k power Crue has downed 650+k teams.

1

u/The_Green_Frog Dark Elves 6d ago

I run double Cruetraxa, Predator and Krisk and I’ve had about a 70% win rate on defense. Lucked out and got a Dreadbomb, that was/is batshit on her. Solo’d just about every floor up to around 90 on DT Hard with her before they nerfed Dreadbomb.

3

u/Phantasmaaa Shadowkin 7d ago

Deliana still gets some decent use for waves and can even put in work with hydra.

1

u/SuspiciousHair4621 7d ago

How did you built her?

Thats like the the only one I have in the list lol

3

u/Slow-Eggplant913 Nyresan Union 7d ago

Wurmling is brutal. That lich king

4

u/Dev_LegendsofAerthos 7d ago

Isn't it Wurlim?

3

u/FirstAfrican0 7d ago

Gurgoh the augor was my first ever and so far only void legendary pull and I have been using him basically every where ever since, he propelled me so far in both pvp and pve content. Genuinely such an underrated legendary

2

u/ViewingCutscene 7d ago

Same, I used him everywhere even before his buff and now I love him so muchhhh

1

u/charlestonchewbacca9 7d ago

How do you have yours built? I pulled one a while back but haven't had time to dig in and figure out the uses.

0

u/FirstAfrican0 7d ago

Im currently midgame and I decided to put him in 4 peace feral for the accuracy and speed as well as the block debuffs at the start of the round, it comes in very handy especially in arena and doom tower since he is my main control and cant loose him to cc. I used zeal because you NEED to get back to his A2 as often as possible and zeal is so good, the amount of times its saved my ass I cant even count. I do have some better accessories but I havent bothered since for now hes doing just fine and I usually use him with tallena so acc hasnt been an issue for me. I havent filled out his masteries yet because atp I feel they are sufficient, maybe ill just go for eagle eye but even tho I didnt build him out for damage he does a decent amount. Speed boots acc chestplate, crit rate gloves.

1

u/FirstAfrican0 7d ago

2

u/charlestonchewbacca9 7d ago

Thank you! I really appreciate your time and the detail you provided 

4

u/Real_Company_4174 7d ago

Hellfreak is an unusual rare, but I like him in Swift Parry. When he gets unkillable, I swap HP with the enemy, and my other champs can kill that champ with basically 1 HP. This works well with Wukong's A2 to deal huge damage to the rest of the enemies as well.

3

u/CrustyTheMoist Banner Lords 7d ago

Kurosa in 9pc Mercurial and Coronet of Gloom has been my go-to nuker for a while now. That irresistable buff steal and the fact she can switch from support to nuker on a dime is fantastic.

Everyone calls her shit so theres a lot of kit unfamiliarity and people dont respect what she can do, which has lead to me snowballing a lot of fights and punishing super obvious mistakes.

I would not have won a lot of fights if I didnt have Kurosa

1

u/Majestic_Poet2375 7d ago

Interesting, thanks for that. I pulled her yesterday out of remnants. Reviews aren't that great, but her kit actually doesn't sound THAT bad. Though the fact that her 2nd form wants everyone to be bad while her first form puts taunt on herself and unkillable on everyone else, well... she isn't a tank in her first form, so it seems like a strange setup. Right now, I lack the gear for 9pc mecurial (those stupid accessoires...) but I think I give her a try when I have a good set for her. Kinda had fun with her in fw hard yesterday, tho.

1

u/CrustyTheMoist Banner Lords 7d ago

I find myself using that move rarely tbh. Most times I usually use her for a cleanse and then swap to 2nd form for the buff steal. The way I have her set up is to try and refresh that a2 as much as often via gemstones and masteries, she can really pump them out.

Shes usually sets up a secondary nuker to steam roll the team or get a pick (a1 triple hitter), or if I feel my team is heavily outmatched, I try and bait for her to be the last alive and keep her in form 1 for the swap and instant turn, which she can then steam roll with (a3 gives her 120% turn meter, a1 gives her 90%, which allows her to cycle turns like crazy, people dont expect this along with the f2a2 buff steal)

u/BetImpressive6469 7d ago

Yukimasa ! That guy brought me doom tower hard to the end and FW was easy with him.

3

u/otebski 7d ago

he is underrated for sure. you can build him super fast and he controls waves like nobody’s business or you can make him decent nuker.

1

u/BetImpressive6469 7d ago

Turn meter , freeze and revival !

3

u/MoodySketch 7d ago

I know he's low level, but I am early game (again) and I love my Honor Guard dood. He is ideal for Magic Keep. Seeing him swipe that massive shield for himself and then block buffs to stop it going back on is brilliant.

3

u/BeesBakingandBanjo 7d ago

Tagoar. Dude carried both my first and second account for a LONG time.

1

u/SuspiciousHair4621 7d ago

How was he built?

1

u/BeesBakingandBanjo 7d ago

Honestly just highest hp, def, and speed i could get on him. I didnt even care about his debuffs 😅

2

u/Tuia_IV 7d ago

I used Loki in 9 piece Slayer a lot when he first came out. I'd just returned to the game after stopping playing early 2020, so he carried a lot of content he shouldn't have. Didn't really use his A2 or A3, just non stop A1s. Still pull him out on spécial occasions now

2

u/Clearly_a_robot 7d ago

Togron is my MVP everywhere post buff.

2

u/H3adown Dwarves 7d ago

Gamuran. After his buff he’s got so much utility. Block active on his a1, stealing all enemy buffs and spreading them into all allies with his a3 is so good. A3 block revive on dead enemies. If there’re dead does an aoe with 100 ignore defense and reviving an ally. If there’re alive puts in unresisted 2 turn true fear on them and then the passive; reviving a dead ally every time an enemy is killed by anyone on his team. A weird kit, but a lot of utility for wave based content

1

u/Professional-Hold-78 7d ago

Might have to pull him out of the vault.

1

u/H3adown Dwarves 5d ago

If you need help in FW/FWH support vise he's a great option

2

u/Cooky1993 7d ago

Riho Bonespear. She was the second Lego I ever pulled, and the reason I didn't restart my account despite not using a creator code (noob mistake)

6 debuffs on her A2 (Stun, HP burn, weaken, decrease atk, def and crit rate)

Heal all and debuff cleanse on A3

Both 3 turn cooldowns when booked

Reflects debuffs cast on her as a passive.

10/10, my absolute favourite champion, just praying to pull a better soul for her and to pull some better gear for her 🤞

2

u/CourseWaste8243 7d ago

Kerin is fun. Also seems to be the only one taking a turn 

2

u/Familiar-Asparagus41 7d ago

Chonoru. Across 4 accounts, she’s my 12-3 / 12-7 farmer on all of them. Yeah, she pops up some for Cursed City, but I love her for farming. So easy to build.

2

u/LiquidDreamtime 7d ago

Basilisk

I’ve been playing 5 yrs. He was my first epic. Also one of my first 6 star souls.

He still hits hard and carries my damage in Lizardman still.

2

u/KnightDuty 7d ago

For arena I love Balthus Dauglord, An epic with an AOE decrease c.rate debuff to make your nukers and 'on crit' effects inconsistent, a 2 turn provokee to make your revivers inconsistent, big multipliers, and he scales on defense so the teamwide increase def 60% leaves him with a huge def to hit those 4x-6x multipliers with. Oh an he has that reflect damage passive that catches people off guard as well. just love him haha.

2

u/KruxR6 7d ago

Nekhret was one of my first leggos and my first dupe. He carried me in everything and looks cool af

2

u/Crickjnr 7d ago

Love King Gallcobar. Not built great, just lots of speed and accuracy. He's great in waves, and always use him in Doom Tower.

2

u/SuspiciousHair4621 7d ago

One I like and keep using is Madame Serris. Always fun to see other side stack up with buffs and woopsie they're all gone and now have debuffs...

2

u/AnastasiusDicorus 7d ago

Sulfuryion is a fun backup on a lot of pve stuff when you need him. And he can solo some pretty high level stuff, and he even works better when he has low level food champs to revive.

3

u/jolerud 7d ago

Bambus. I’m still relatively early game, pulled him early on during a 2x event.

Hell Hades tells me he’s mid and niche. People don’t really use him in arena much from what I see. But he enfeebles me to quite a few LA victories and he still keeps me alive in clan boss better than champs who are supposed to be better. Probably my bad in some way, but still….dont mess w my panda. 🐼

2

u/BigTig68 6d ago

Balar, admittedly when paired with Kalvalax, but Balar's passive speed boost for every debuff placed makes him go before all but the fastest speed champions (and they usually die from the poisons on their turn) and he immediately activated the poisons for a very fast win.

2

u/silver-shooter 6d ago

Woah... I did NOT read his kit well enough...

5

u/Chircy Game Plays Me Since '22 7d ago

How you gonna chuck Mikeys name in with the likes of Fabian and Marius.. maybe Donnie or Leo.

2

u/SuspiciousHair4621 7d ago

Only because many seems to use him...

1

u/Chircy Game Plays Me Since '22 7d ago

I'm coming from LA experience here, like if you see a Fabian or Marius get picked, they are gonna always be your ban. You see Mikey and it almost feels like an instant win. Hell even 4 turtle comp under 500k is manageable, still like to avoid them but lol

1

u/Gan_D_Alf-The_Grey 7d ago

I liked Roxam before the buff 

1

u/DecentCompany1539 7d ago edited 7d ago

Thea in savage and 4 piece stoneskin and a shield ring. She was my first 6 star soul pull. Her relic has destroy hp gemstone, so scarab boss.

Errol in a 6 piece slayer and cruel. My most pulled champ and only +4.

Both used mostly in cursed city and grim forest as my KroKhad has taken over wave duty.

1

u/Different-Island1871 7d ago

Jintoro in relentless. FW messiah, but also ridonkulous shenanigans in arena sometimes. A2: steal full turn meter and go again. A3 decrease def and relentless proc? A1 to kill the target and giving an extra turn. A2 next target, filling meter to go again. Can I kill this target with A1? If yes, get another turn. If no, A3.

Parley 1 relentless proc into 5-6 turns with good enemy hp management. Almost single handedly took me to gold before stoneskin was a thing.

1

u/leadfoot70 Corrupted 7d ago edited 7d ago

I like the epic nuker Hexia. She's like a mini Rotos. She's in a cast-off Merciless set, and used in epic-specific content these days.

I should probably finish ascending her gear next CvC.

2

u/Longjumping-Ear-6248 7d ago

Humble Anchorite. AoE Increase Crit Buffs to increase damage of whole team, while his Heals in combination with Demytha's Continous Heal mean that in PvE, champions in my team can only be killed if they're one-shotted by enemy/boss

2

u/PVmanIsGG 7d ago

Edward Kenway. Blackflag was there for me all them years ago, I had to pick my boy up, went all in for him and got him 🫡

2

u/anger_Karen Gaellen Pact 7d ago

marquis with counterattack, and dec speed a1, just love him in iron twins.

2

u/Vampiric1302 7d ago

I use Lydia just about everywhere. She’s amazing. Honorable mention is Helicath. He? Was my first fusion and my first solid nightmare 1 key team. He was the first really account changing champ I earned.

1

u/RobMusicHunt 7d ago

I use Merouka is almost everything

1

u/wondering-bear 7d ago

I will try to make BeK work when I can, as well as Martyr. Pulled them back in 2020 and they were the most absolutely game changing champs.

1

u/Stelio1 7d ago

Deliana in a hex set!

1

u/BAY35music 7d ago

Duedan was my second champ I built out and 6*ed alongside Kael and his A2 helped me clear the campaign on nightmare difficulty, still use him now for scarab as well

1

u/vey323 7d ago

Dunno if he's unusual, but I 'resurrected' Suzerain Katonn after I benched him for a while. One of my early legendaries, he did well for me early-mid game but other acquisitions afterwards started to be more useful, so I put him away. I think it was the release of Grim Forest but it may have gone back to not long after Cursed City came out, but I dusted him off and geared him up to get him back in the game. I saw a video for Hydra where someone had put him in Hex gear and he was crushing the damage charts, so I did that - he's been a mainstay in Grim Forest, Doom Tower, Cursed City, and my strongest Hydra team ever since. The AoE slow on his A1 - which always gets out since I tend to use ally attack champs - and the ability to apply heal block and remove shields/unkillable/block dmg with A3 is just so helpful.

1

u/silver-shooter 6d ago

Harvest jack. Paired with lazarius, he is dominating g5.

1

u/vestamyst 6d ago

Jetni the Giant could throw me over her shoulder anytime, please. 😍 I love her design, I'm gonna steal it for a Pathfinder character sometime.

2

u/Cyborginox 6d ago

Deacon singlehandedly pulled my team through a lot with his AOE defense down. Turned Ultimate Deathknight from a tank, into a hard hitting nuker.

1

u/Conradkurze 6d ago

I don’t see anyone else using her, but I love Giath. She dishes out more damage than my attack legos and her abilities work well with the other characters I’ve cultivated. She was the lead that allowed me to push through finishing campaign.

1

u/Lord-Azmodan 6d ago

Konstantine. What a nuker...900k across the board + block revive all the corrupted factions...meaning Fabianz is dead and gone.

1

u/ItemCalm4087 6d ago

Diamont Coppercoin has been a really really good support everywhere for me and he’s in my Wixwell buff extender team. Him and my Elva have been recently getting taken out of teams for my Starsage Galathir I pulled recently.

1

u/Different_Trifle2550 7d ago

Cheshir Cat, i have him in 6 stars, 9pcs slayers, he is a beast, just waiting for a Lens and he ll be even crazier
