s/o to our german cc's :)
My video was seeing how quickly I could get top chest (36M). Some of my attempts, I was hitting 250M+ in 12s.. 10s was the fastest but 5 or 6 seconds is doable with a 2nd Trunda 😁
He's a good player with a lot of good ideas and teams.
listen how hell hades talks very often about how the game is not competitive (has only pve,small chat and so) for the audience that whales are there to whale on. and complete the opposite about the community that IS whailing like me : the game is competitive. you will see soon we will get new stuff for hydra, hellboy prepare us with some BS for the next patch.
i have to clear out something. the 900mil showcase was on normal so i can show u guys the strat before u are totally out of the fusion. its 110% working on nightmare, i did it but didnt record it! so i went to normal to recreate it faster. ty hell hades for showing it quickly too so ppl can still do there fusion if they want to. iam also scared about the way hydra clash is heading to
Ah my bad, thanks for clarifying
please show us what adding Brogni to the team will do to the shields or maybe a 2nd Wixwell?
The easiest way to rein in the numbers is remove the dmg bonus from hitting exposed necks. It what started this multiplication meta.
@@TheMasterhazard brogni doesnt extend buffs
First fusion that I'm not going for. I've been going hard since Tormin and I need the break to restock. Sux though cause he looks Hella dope.
For me its great that there's so much more potential for finding these combinations of champions, the main issue is the only people who can be creative are high spenders, because a mid/late game low spend account cant afford to try a new hydra team based around some wacky mechanic because they cant afford to swap a load of gear around and change blessings and masteries because there's this gem/silver paywall that stifles this creativity for the wider audience
Exactly, I'm still trying to figure out an unkillable UNM Demon Lord team but it's too difficult without unlimited gems or test server
@@TCP2k10uk are easy to build
@@TCP2k10the person who already replied to you is correct, and if you can’t build an unk team at this point, then you’re way way way too behind and shouldn’t even have downloaded the game in the first place
@JS-do7js you're a goofball, there are many people like me who don't have the champions nor the gear to reach the speeds required. And then you only get 2 to 4 free keys a day to test out your team
@@TCP2k10 I was in the same boat as you for a long time, took forever to get Pain Keeper via shards, one tip (if you didnt know) is when you are testing teams, if you see its failing, pause the encounter and Alt+F4, when you get back in the game you will get you CB key back as the fight was disconnected.
Spending 8-12 hours a week trying to get perfect runs on Hydra with the best teams you can build with your account, just to get zero Clash rewards because the 3 clans that win are full of whales getting 6B points each feels bad. The lazy excuse I always get from the paint eaters in the comments? "Find a better clan." So 40% of the entire community needs to find a better clan?
Participation rewards sounds like it was made specifically for you!
@@MaxOnMaxOff_osrsparticipation rewards not only for him, but me and like he said, 40% of the entire community. I’d reckon even more percentage. I don’t think 60% of raids population are these huge whales. Unbalanced is unbalanced.
That system is BS and the fact that those players choke it down and come after you the one of the main issues.
@@MaxOnMaxOff_osrs I assume from your comment that you refuse to claim chests for being first loser or second loser in hydra clash then.
The fusion is actually good to level the field
Plarium created this problem by making Hydra clash, and making it so only the top 3 clans got rewards.
Competition drives innovation, and I don't think Plarium were prepared for the level of innovation - all made possible by having so many champions, giving what might as well be limitless combinations.
They created the problem with power creep and rewarding players that do well with stuff to make the do better.. leaving those that don’t do so well behind.. and as much as they want to be a PVP game they don’t seem to care about balance until FTP are doing well..
The last sentence you said is really important. Even if you try to join the people using those teams and build them yourself, you never know if they will be nerfed or not. For example Trunda. Would you try to get her to 6* for crushing rend or not? You just dont know. They could nerf trunda, the blessing itself, cap hydra damage or any nerf of the sort. Best example for this which a lot of people might have forgotten is back when cadaver was the king, Plarium literally made a public statement that they would not be nerfing cadaver so a lot of people 6*'ed their brognis. And what do they do? They then nerf the comp sending brogni back to the vault. All those coins spent down the drain.
Raid always had a huge issue with general game balance but it seems to be at its worst point at the moment and looks like they have just given up and let it be a clusterf*k.
If only there was some sort of Server they could set up, where creators and meta-builders and number crunchers could get their hands on new, upcoming champions and run them through all kinds of different teams and content to find out where the problem areas are. Not the small sample size of Plarium's in-house testing(if it even exists,) but a real, full scale, large quantity testing server. Can you imagine if such a thing were even possible? They could get feedback on champions before they get released, and make changes and tweaks to them to make sure they come out in a balanced state, some stronger and some weaker. What a world it would be, if Plarium had an actual Test Server and not just a "Showcase New Champions Early Because We Don't Have To Pay You To Do PR For Us," Server.
This is how games are now. They sell "early" access, which is just QA testing the game. I do QA testing for a job, and guess what, we NEVER rely on the customer to do end testing. Now yes, there are things that come up, but FFS, the gaming industry is off the rails on meth.
I barely have a decent Clan Boss team. Seeing these Hydra teams just scares me lol 😂
They need to bring back cadaver and all there stupid nerfs. This proves players just want to play
For someone like me, extremely low spend at later mid game it doesn't even feature on my radar, just about 1 key max chest on hard hydra. Not clearing all pve content yet.
There is such an extreme between what is mid/late/super late game.
I totally agree. I am on Nightmare clan boss and it's usually 2-3 key. I just last week got the big chest for normal Hydra and I was ecstatic at doing 30mil. Yeah, 30mil and were here talking about billions. It will be quite a while before I am worrying about power creep to this level. I think Hades and other content creators just kind of forget that most of the player base is not where they are as far as our accounts are concerned.
How much of your great hall for hydra is filled out? I bet a bunch of these teams have good gear and a ton of bonus hydra stats from live arena.
@@aelinstue9431 my normal great hall isn't near complete let alone area bonus from live. Timings for live don't work for me so isn't a focus at all
@@BobbyReicholdI got to unmcb really because I got a couple select champs for block damage

@9:00 you dont need to reset yannica, because you need to prepare her hit 10-15 minutes
But emic need to be rest or he can grow the shield 🛡 for Yannica to do that insane damage
@@nananarh422 Emic isnt growing the shield, the skillreset is for the vaultkeeper who grows the shield emic is helping with the taunt not sure if emic needs a reset to always have it up (but you can play it manual for sure)
the skill reset also helps emic and the double pain keepers. Emic's taunt is 2 turn on a 4 turn cd, so the two pain keepers allow Emic to keep taunt up. and all three keep the other two in the 2 turn loop. they also all help Wixwell grow the shield slowly over time, and keep the extend abilities going to make sure the shield buffs never expire.
@@nananarh422 Emic is in there for the reset for Wixwell and the taunt loop (you champs wont get eaten).
Players IQ are like Hydras Head. You cut one and another one comes out. lol
The only competition in a pay to win game such as Raid is who spends the most money to beat the most end game content
I stopped having fun with Raid a while ago. Right now I am on autopilot and things that have happened to me in the community have made me question a lot about how I feel about Raid. Raid has meant a lot to me for a long time and I am not sure if I can do it anymore when all it is is bad for me at this point and the community has just added to that.
I was in the same frame of mind when I quit the game in January. I still watch some of the Raid creators just to follow the state of the game.
@@briankulesz9410 Not sure if I would even do that given how I am feeling about the community right now. People said some things that I was supposed to take as a joke and funny thing when I didn't and no person I know of would have, I was then the bad guy. I thought I would just move passed it but I haven't and I apparently just have to suck it up.
No joke do yourself a favor and quit
Finally someone who doesn’t like the game anymore and quits…. Mfs act like raid is a drug.
@@jordanren2949 Considering the fact it means things to me that no one will get or ever try to understand, in some ways it very much is a drug.
What we're seeing is the result of near on 6 years of only sporadic balancing of champions. Plarium's method of choice to fixing a busted champion has usually been to release a chanpion to COUNTER that champ, instead of addressing the root cause.
There is only so long that will work... it looks like we're seeing the end cycle of that mindset.
I have been playing for 3 years and I don't one key hydra nightmare or complete Sintranos. That illustrate the gap between big spenders and low spender
You're just bad/playing casually, plenty f2ps out there doing hard content easily.
@@pleasedont7439 not saying it's not doable saying the average player don't hit billions damage on hydra.
@@pleasedont7439 Jesus the Nerd doing 5 hours a day hydra manual spoke hahahah.Hydra is for people with no life obviously.

@@GamingFactoidz-te5re I don't even play the game anymore lmfao, just watched cuz I was hooked by the title.
There's nothing wrong with being a casual player, but to say "I've been playing 3 years and still can't do this" just screams narcissism (because you think YOUR skill level is everyone else's) and of course, stupidity, you're playing casually/you're an idiot, no shit you're not that far off in 3 years. Common sense!
I never have the champs for these cheat codes. Sucks to miss out 😂
Yannica you can buy from clan shop and Wixwell is current fusion. If you go for fusion, you will eventually get Yannica aswell
If they gave a small amount of rewards to the fourth and fifth place teams in Hydra clash, it would also help so that people don’t feel like if they can’t cheese the game they get nothing in return for their efforts
They announced participation rewards in clash!
I’ve been playing this game since the VERY beginning… and I just realized I’m watching your videos more frequently than I’m even logging on to Raid at this point… Looking forward to Fateless, man.
Armanz help my account move forward in many ways and it did help us FTP to compete somewhat with the bigger boys that are so much more than us so for me, Armanz is a great blessing. You live in a different land where you have super gear so you can do crazy things but most of us FTP are not there and yes you can build this teams but you need that gear and it is not normal gear. Example you can get 380 to 400 speed but all my best gear can get to about 345 at best so yes... you live in a different world with gear that is beyond most of us, and so some of these new holes in the game can help us somewhat compete at a higher level.
agree, the game's gone crazy with the recent power surge. I thought mythics were meant to be different from Leggos not immensely more powerful.
Most Mythicals aren't immensely more powerful, there's several that are pretty crap. Almost all of these insane Hydra strats are done with Legos and some epics.
@@dukekessler6292yet within the pvp meta mythicals shine far above the rest (gharol, siegfrund, and lazarius for DPS, starsage, mikage, and krixia for support) ofc leggos can pull their weight, but if u asked me to hand pick an arena team I'm pretty much picking mythicals with a few leggo exceptions. Not to mention they get around warlord/yumeko cool down increase.
If you think mythicals take over arena I feel bad for you lmao there's plenty of champs that give overpower mythicals with damage alone@@scottpollock1714
@@scottpollock1714 the video was largely addressing Hydra clash. There's no Mythicals in those top teams. For PvP there's several awesome Mythicals of course. For PvE there's really not, even the Hydra specific ones fall short of the Legos.
Gharol isn't insane, however she is good in PvE and PvP. Armanz and Siphi, both legos have I believe the highest win/ban percentage in the game, they beat out Starsage and Krixia.
@@dukekessler6292 keep in mind both armanz and siphi exist on WAYYYYY more accounts than starsage and krixia both of which are extremely prevelant in top arena. (But yeah armanz is in the exception list he's bonkers) I have both gharol and seigfrund. And seigfrund is banned the most in my experience in g4 live arena. Yeah gharol isn't as crazy in arena, you're right, but I've put out over a billion using gharol in hydra - it wasn't showcased bc it wasn't included in hhs champs. I think right now because alot of people don't have the mythicals we aren't seeing a whole lot around them.
(Edit: I should mention I also have armanz and use him in arena, it maybe confirmation bias as I have not tracked this info but I'm pretty confident that seigfrund gets banned more often than armanz)
Armanz and Narses (and some of the mythicals) in the arena - not even touching that. As for hydra, it feels like there are just too many champs and mechanics that all have to be designed not to do insame numbers. Anything that grows exponentially is almost destined to become a problem. I'm doing solid numbers with none of the crazy meta champs like Trunda but once have to compete with it, it gets rough because you need the goodies from the hydra clash.
HH, I've been a fan of yours for probably 4 year's now. Ever since I really started playing Raid and looking for champ builds.
I've spent a bit on this game, because I find it fun. And enjoyable.
That said, Raid is in a really frustrating place. Completely OP new champs where old champs are almost irrelevant or have lower tier epic level abilities because of power creep.
Tag team is so unenjoyable, my god, trying to get to Gold 1 for the mission has been an absolute nightmare. I'll be in the green, and the morning of the rank flip, I'll be 2000 points down.
Stone skin is super OP. There is no way to know if a champ has SS prior to the arena fight. Which destroys any meta or strategy. Add this with Armanz being in every team. Several Mythical champs that are supposed to be "hard to get" and the power creep.
I love Raid, truly. But man, it's been getting way more frustrating to play.
It depends on what you're trying to get out of the game. If you want to be #1 in the world you need to focus on the best teams and builds. If you want to play more casually, then focusing on your own account and seeing what it can do is also fun and exciting. There is nothing wrong with copying others or trying to get close to what others are doing. Sometimes it's also fun to try something new and not worry about being the most optimal or the strongest. The rewards for being the best are not worth stressing or being upset over, and with Hydra participation rewards around the corner, even more so.
The issue is really that the lower clans don't get clash rewards. My clan has some people with nutty teams so we get rewards more often than not but I recognize the issue for other players.
@@dukekessler6292 Those rewards aren't a necessity to grow further into the game though. One can grow without the Stoneskin or protection gears or the Mythical shards/champions...
@@noob4life1981 if you want to get real technical there's essentially no rewards that are necessary to "progress". You can make miniscule improvements everywhere. It's possible to do all content with rares and epics. However if they want people participating beyond one keying a difficulty then giving out some rewards is the best way to do it. Watch Saph's video where his clan and the ones above him put up some good numbers and one individual with one key single handily takes first place. And specifically SS accessories are very important if you want to start pushing high levels of arena.
The optimal way to play Hydra is to just do such insane damage and ignore the mechanics. This isn't a very good system to base a competitive game mode in. This is coming from someone with a trunda team.
Just wait until they nerf Wixwell or Yannica or both under the guise of "fixing" GTFO with that BS already! Hire skilled play testers and stop nerfing away YOUR mistakes Plarium! HH release Fateless for early access and let us be free of this parasitic company please I'm begging you.
I believe they already said they're going to "fix" yannica, aka nerf her because they don't want any cheese champs that are f2p
💯
Why would they nerf wixwell? He has nothing that needs nerf. If you are talking about his shield growth thing it's really bad shield growth. Nothing compared to brogni type of shield growth.
I still can't believe Emic got nerfed but other broken stuff is fine to keep in as-is
If they nerf yannica I’m quitting raid she’s my best nuker
I did the Armanz fusion..then I pulled another Armanz..lol, I only use the one with the awakening but his debuffs are crazy. For fixing the game though..I think a great way would be to do one update where they go back and buff and adjust some of the older powercrept/useless legendaries and actually made them closer in strength to newer stuff. I know they won't since they'd prefer you go for the new stuff, but an update where like 50 old champions got brought up a bit to contend more with current power levels would be great.
The problem is that you always want the next thing to be more interesting than the previous so people want to chase it. That's why keeping an eye on power growth is important 😅
right? All these CCs kept saying this new champion was weak or garbage and they "just needed" more to their kit. SO Plarium listened and now the CCs are here complaining that the power creep is getting out of hand.
@@ricmndy1 no, it's not that, CC video are independent. The problem is that CC get like a day on test server access before publishing and need to realize their video quickly after starting their test server access. So they cannot find everything in so few times. It takes time to find crazy combinations.
There's so much champion like that. They release then later we find combinations that nobody thought to exploit.
I’m mid game, so it’s still fun - plus I’m more about competing with myself, trying to better my own scores, than keeping up with the various metas. But the end game does look grim from here.
I have spent years to be hitting as hard as I do now in all content. You and Ash taught me that. Please for the love of god don’t convince them to make something even more brutal. Hydra took me ages to master. Clan boss too. And don’t even get me started about ice golem.
The thing I would like to see most for Hydra would be a reduction of the maximum turn count from 1500 to maybe 500. The amount of time a manual run currently takes just makes the whole thing a chore.
Yeah. One thing they could do is cap the damage and have tie breakers fro time. This still favors whales because better gear will be faster damage, but opens up many teams that can compete because the goal is now less turns instead of marathon runs.
I would like to see weaker clans given more turns with Hydra doing less damage and less accuracy.
Our clan has never beaten Hydra Hard. Tell me how interested we are in Improving?
@@s.crambling3795 Might be time to look for another clan if that's the case.
@@s.crambling3795i don't mean to cause offence but if you as a clan haven't beaten hard hydra then you are early-early midgame and tbh until you are hitting brutal/nightmare you aren't going to really be a part of the conversation. Unfortunately you really are better off finding a clan that is more your power level if you personally are capable of hitting harder difficulties.
@@scottpollock1714 which again is destroying the game. A strong game should have a much closer challenge for people playing the game for the same length of time. $ should boost your account but NOT x100 it.
wow his Trunda not even have a 6star-blessing, good job and dmg-support for your clan Hoschi!
yeah, but what is great hall, fully booked, masteries, faction guardians? Not just blessings that make a difference.
Is there a site like the hell hades optimizer for hydra teams?
In an old mmorpg I used to play, the test realm was open to anyone who spent $10 or more in the past month to new content. That way there were thousands of people testing and finding these things so the really broken stuff got fixed before it was released
CC: communitah outraged! Communitah split! Communitah wants blood!
Reality: 99% of players don't notice this shit. We just do our daily quests and spend demon lord keys. 😂
Our clan is fairly competitive in clash, and we just chalk it up to a bad draw on a week when we hit something crazy. Usually, we can pull 2nd or 3rd in one of those weeks, though. I think maybe juat adding participation rewards would help. No one gets fully left out it is a lot easier to chalk it up to a bad draw and move on.
As a person who puts very little money in the game and I've been playing for 4 years im glad someone is getting there money's worth
Every time I saw a comp with champs I had but never built before I could get it going it would be gone.
Change it to getting points per your personal rank. If you get first it is like 150 points, 2nd is 149, etc. Something like that. I spent so much money on Cadaver and now on Trunda. They took the fun away from the game when they nerfed Cadaver. Going for personal records every week was the only thing I cared to do every week
This is a great idea to me. Because for a lot of people pushing the numbers is the fun part, and by making the ranking be what equates to the actual clash score allows people who like chasing the big damage still be able to do their thing, and takes the gap between keys and makes it less insurmountable at the same time.
This video is on point but also this video is only about 7% of player base
Considering I'm happy too get 8 million on Hydra normal and been FTP can't even dream about insane damage like that it doesn't really bother me. The gear, arena bonuses, and soulstone RnG you need to reach these heights is just not feasible for most so i just ignore it and stay in my lane.
Gear gets you farther than anything
When you play Hydra just to get the chest, all you need is 6,66 mil on normal (or whatever the first stage is) When you can achieve that over the course of 3 keys.. then thats "enough".
I don't really even have teams... I just slap together a bunch of champions with a very VERY rudimentary idea and throw them in Hydra, let it run a few time to get an idea of what they can do and go from there.
I'm not even really interested anymore in doing a whole lot more right now.
I love funky cool combos like this. They are fun to find and see work. However, it sucks when they work so go you have to get these Champs to stay in the mix
If you ignore the PVP element and have a fun cluster you are part of helping each other build teams and clear content, there is still fun to be had
I think to expect to have fun in a game like this for this long is crazy
As a f2p beginner it's always nice to get a new champion and it being a massive boost to the account because it's so strong. Feels nice for me but i can understand that it can damage the game in the long run.
Easiest solution for that team, would be to cap the shield damage, but most players are not at that level or do not have the champions to make that comp. Definitely an overlook, but understandable. Every game can be exploited using intended mechanics. Best guess is the dev team is already working on a patch, but time will tell.
I did invest into the cadaver teams before they fixed it and I didn't regret it as such when they fixed it as I had the champs already leveled but what annoyed me more was the Clan constantly asking me to run the team so we could win Hydra Clash while none of them really wanted to put the effort into their own teams but I do think something needs to be done about it but how I'm not sure, other than maybe having all Hydra Heads can't take more than 10% damage in a single hit but not sure how that would work with Yannica
To me the issue started when they added hydra and hard mode dungeons. Before that you could throw any champs into a dungeon team, and provided you kept an eye on a few things (eg multi hitters for fire knight and turnmeter stuff) it would work, after that it was fine tuning to speed it up etc. But it allowed for creativity. Things like hydra have so much going on that you are instantly pigeon holed into just a few builds or champs to be succesfull. Just throwing in some random'ish champs will pretty much get you wiped instantly. And that is if RNG doesn't decide to screw you over and over. In short, before you were free to build your teams with whatever champs you wanted, now you get applauded for managing to insert one unexpected champ into the line up of usual suspects. And just rebuilding something that someone else already made just isn' t fun to me.
Before it dungeons were about "here are 2 things to keep in mind about this dungeon", now it is "here are the 17 things you absolutely need within your champs". Also, the speed requirements man, I can barely put up a decent hydra team because my gear is terrible when it comes to speed. Been playing this for ages and still i cannot get speedrolls, ergo, hydra is shit for me. I have done nm, but I had to pillage my entire account just to get fast enough, and it's just not worth breaking all other builds for what? Some clan gold? Some gear that's gonna roll up crap anyways? A whole little soulstone? The fun of getting screwed by RNG over and over?
As good as the whole "speed" stat is in some ways, it also hinders a lot as it's one of these must have stats. Can't get superhigh crt dmg? Ah well, just hit a bit less hard then. Don't have enough speed? Well, fk you m8, don't even bother trying.
For the competitive side of Hydra, maybe have it so if your team exceeds a power amount it can’t run a difficulty.
It's the nature of complex systems. Every "solution" just creates a new problem, and always will. But the raid "system" will keep carrying on as long as a player base derives value from the complex system (global industrial society metaphor here :)
Countess Lix I believe reduces cooldown of allies by one turn
I dont mind the power surge. It really helps the mid game players or low spenders who don't have huge rosters. Also I'm fine with OP champs especially if they are fusions. If you put in the work and resources for a fusion you should get a very good champ.
3 years in and never completed a timed fusion of either and they’re only getting harder needing those stronger champs to get Time Attacks done quicker for the better points… my reliable teams are still on the lower/longer end where it’s not even worth it using 2-3x the energy to compete the events
Getting a good champ and actually making them OP is the hard part. These whales who get good champs, max books, max faction guardians, max Great Hall, max bonuses from Arena. have high star souls, increase stats on gear. All of those things take a good champ to the OP champ you see on these videos - that is the challenge. SO many times I see these videos and think, hey I have that champ, spend millions and millions on gear, gems on masteries, potions etc to bring up stats on gear and I STILL do not get the performance they get on these videos because they have so many other bonuses and stats padding their champs...very frsutrating.
i thought i saw on that QOL map that they were adjusting the rewards for hydra clash...maybe this is to give all clans rewards for participating because of all these broken combos?
as a F2P user, on 2 accts... both played about 3,5 yrs now, my first goal was to beat all the dungeons and get Lydia. while I was doing this, the DT appeared, then new dungeon's cap, a cursed city, a Hydra, new dungeons, etc etc... time spent in game is still the biggest issue, and the lack of space for items/champs. so I don't really know what to do next, I will hang arround until I get something better to do with my spare time... =)
This is the one video that i had to watch it twice....just for a better understanding and clarity of the bigger picture and where this is taking us all along...when we sit in front of our pc/phone is just us and the game however when it comes to this "competitive aspect" it`s on a complete different level....which will only make the game unpleasant and not fun at all....let`s face it no one likes to loose week on week on hydra and when you are not just given the chance to compete you will eventually stop competing...and look for something else
Blud always nails the thumbnails
Thing is that trunda teams make everything else worthless. Doesn't feel worth to progress teams if you can't come close. And I am in that rank 1 clan right there.. the other teams scaling seems kinda okay, since there is a lot of variety and they are in range of each other more or less.
Regarding Countess Ly, I'm pretty sure she places AoE decrease SPD AND also resets cooldowns with her A3 for all allies. I got her but for some reason it never registered I could pair her with my Trunda for that.
@HellHades , hes yannica dies from reflect damage on the 3th head before the she can get to the 4th head, thats why she died and didnt kill last head
I definitely think they need to do a balance patch. Some as little as adding +1 turn cooldown to Armanz on his stun would make him way more palatable.
I'm well on track to get Wixwell as FTP, and a Yanica, which will take a bit more time. Will it be fun? Of course!
The facts you mentioned are true but fact that there are other champions that help even if you don't have a meta champ and are the reason the game is still alive. Armanz is broken but Hegemon helps or Warlord/Basher/Archmage/Mithrala.
When I started live arena a few months ago it was horrible, then I adapted and learned some strategies and loved it... then Armanz happened and I stopped live arena entirely. Being forced to use the meta is an absolute fun killer for me.
Game should be balanced a bit more but in all fairness there will always be theory crafters that are good at what they do. Hydra takes a lot of time they should cut the max. turns per key down
to half maybe? Yes it would impact the dmg but Paymium can always adjust the numbers a little bit.
I'm still new at this. Not even close to the characters he has. The game isn't broken for me yet, but I feel it is getting there.
for those of us that don't spend lots, and or don't play all day long everyday, we need something to feel like it is not pointless to keep playing so yes i like the extra stats
I understand what you're saying, but there are those of us who are no where near these numbers and are striving to get there. My highest damage is 110mil on hard. So if I'm able to eventually get to those numbers I'll be happy
I remember one guy going. Nuts on a champion training for krisk… to be part of the crazy teams. At that point he was okay with crazy numbers. Now that most people can do crazy numbers it’s getting out of controll and he made a video about it….
I'm not on the competitive side at all knowing i'm a fairly recent f2p player so my opinion isn't to be taken into account for those levels but i always love games being torn apart by smart players, the same reason i like speedruns in solo games. It never fails to amaze me
Wow I didn't know wixwel's shield ability was a multiplier type. That's crazy. I must not have read it well😅
Personally I think finding broken stuff like the current and new Yannica team is part if gaming. Everything about that works as Intended and I like trying to push and copy said teams. Where it become not fun is who you surround yourself with clan wise and what the expectations are
Also part of the fun of raid is running non meta teams and being able to hang with any content. Different ways to approach a challenge. Well now that’s over. There’s certain champions that are so awesome they’re taking over everything and they’re nearly impossible to get. Taras, marichka, armanz, yumeko, and a few more that are irreplaceable and have entirely changed the landscape of the game. Which is okay but it has become an impossible hill to climb and eventually people will start to give up and have started to give up.
The most fun in hydra until now for me was definitely the cadaver teams.
What a Stud!? Watchin Ads for other creators in your own video! haha That's awesome and hilarious
The power surge is definitely a hard problem to fix. I don't have the answer but they have to find a way to balance things before the game goes completely off the rails (if it hasnt already). When more people get their hands on some of these mythicals, we are going to really see some outlandish stuff.
Even regular dungeon farming can be a waste when it can cost 2m to get a lv11 piece to lv12..
Even things like dungeon divers should be scored on what you ran not what you got if anything
I think it has to do with adding new powers and coming up with different ways for old powers to work.
What I think they should have done was have a list of standard powers each that could be countered in a rock-paper-scissors style.
Then, have levels of the powers: High, Medium, and Low.
A strong champ would have a lot of high powers and a weak champion would have a lot of low powers.
You could then mix and match how you build a champ, so even weak champs could stand tall against some of the strong ones.
For example:
A beats B
B beats C
C beats A
3 is high
2 is mid
1 is low
Legendary:
A1 = B3
A2 = B2
A3 = C1
Rare:
A1 = A2
A2 = C1
A3 = C1
@@awilliams765 that’s definitely clever! Would it be possible retroactively or maybe just going forward? Retroactively would be a lot of work but healthier longterm
@@jamison187 It would have to be going forward.
A good part of the community has hatred toward Plarium. If Plarium nerfed a ton of champions people would go ballistic.
End of the day it's just game and fun too.me, I'm no kraken who has all champ.plus 4 etc. I just love the game. I agree wat u say thou , hydra for me is hard with champs I got highest damage total is 120m on normal which is a baby total these days. So I just take day by day to fusions deck of fate etc . Anyway great video HH
I don't remember who said this but players will always optimize the fun out a game if given the chance.
Togron really opened the flood gates with the Yannica strat.
I think it's all great when it's solely PVE and you, in your Clan, find an amazing combo that'll let you one key CB or Hydra at some level and it helps people out, as well as you. The PVP though, it's so broken to have this stuff in there and in this game that you really need standardised kits, pools of champions and rotations or cycles of this to make it enjoyable. It's been done in other genres and I'm unsure how you would implement it here, off the top of my head but it's the only way to turn around the pay-to-win mentality in PvP.
my view on hydra teams is that they need more systemic changes if we're ever gonna get out of the problem of niche teams completely invalidating everything else. If plarium just keeping going whack a mole on whatever happens to be the strongest team at the time, people are just gonna find the next problem team. we need something systemically to address these super dominant team. maybe you have some sort of non-linear points scaling, ie, like the inverse of how taxes work, ie, diminishing returns on points
In reality this just comes to prove that maybe the teams are not as broke as one may think... With good players, smart people, many different possibilities appear. Most people are just bad at video games, that is all. Yanika is a free lego, the other guy is a fusion, Nia is an epic, and nothing is broken about it, it's just smart play. The new norm IS over a bilion per key, and you don't need yumekos or broken mechanics for that. Raid is evolving, well done.
An easy 1st step to fix hydra exploits is to disallow skill cooldown effects and cap shield growth against bosses only
I think this game would be extremely cool with low to no pay to win elements. I know its impossible, but it would be an insane game imo
I think the fusion will somrwhat level the field in hydra as everyone has a yannica anyway. It makes it more fair imo
I like the direction we are heading. Game is more interesting and teams are becoming more accessible for the average players and not just whales and kraken. Plarium said before they would rather release champs to counter others in arena so I hope they stick to that instead of resorting to nerfs.
As for Armanz, I love him. Got him on both my accounts. I think he made arena more fun, even though he is cancer.
I'm FTP and just started taking down UNM Clan boss, Brutal Hydra, hard Doom Tower, Fusions, etc so I am having a total blast! I can see how endgame players would be getting very bored but that will probably never be relevant for me
I quit raid two months ago after playing for five years, and I feel like I got my social life back. I even find a time to read a book!
There is definitely some merit to nerfing certian things, e.g. capping the shield limit that can be placed on a target head. But overall the best answer for this and any developer, is to just make harder content, rather than hampering the progression curve.
Harder content, that then gets added in at like level 55 or 60, a stage where most players that actually arrive there can't possibly fight it.
When I reached level 42 with my account and Iron Twins was "unlocked"... I've not touched it for at least several more months because you simply aren't ready for it then. Content that would be tuly the hadest of the hardest nonsense nightmare stuff should unlock at level 300 or some.
Hydra should unlock at level 70
Doom Tower 50 and so on
You get the idea...(don't quote me on the numbers btw)
it's actually damage equal to 45% of the shield removed when fully booked. Yannica is insane, but she will never be nerfed because she's a champion everyone can get.
The only fix Yumiko needs is that her reset ability doesn't work on herself if you have a second one, because then they just keep resetting each other and you have infinite resets like it is now.
Countess Lix not just dec speed but also a reset champ :)
I do want to expand on something a little bit more that I'm pretty sure you have mentioned in older videos that has gotten worse. The state of 3v3 arena. I can't get past S4 for the Ramantu mission because I'm running into teams very similar to what you are running into in G4. Armanz everywhere. UDK with Wukong. Similar power ranges and higher. I recall multiple CCs pointing out how flawed 3v3 was a while back but the things making Classic and live arena worse are also hitting that harder as you may need to contend with more than one team with these broken champs.
For me, the hydra clash issues are not as bad as armanz in arena. His a2 needs to be scaled down enough that he can’t so easily get into infinite control loops. I think I’d be ok with some sort of trunda a2 nerf at this point as well.
When you get to a point where you can list multiple teams that can hit the billion damage mark it's balanced. Prior to this we had a handful of niche champs that could do it. That longer exists. So what's the issue? I have several of these teams but still need to grind gear to make it happen. It gives me something to shoot for (a hydra goal). To me it's more exciting that I can (with effort) build one of these teams. With the demon lord the goal was 1 key 🗝️. With hydra the goal is > billion damage.
I had a Free To Play account for five years and recently nuked it to start over. I'm having fun just leveling and rediscovering old builds and champions. I play the arenas and that's all the competition I need. Plarium needs the competition among players because that kind of brain is the kind that throws whole savings at the chance to top the board...for less than a month. I'm not that kind of player and it's really no judgement for those that spend. I mean, I used to throw a whole week's worth of lawn mowing and chores at the arcades in the 80's.
Above ultra nightmare they need to add mythical content to bend the brains of the big boys
Armanz is ridiculously OP, but in some ways kind of fun because I can beat things I should not be able to beat. Hydra clash is just RNG except at the very highest level. You get matched against people who did what you did last week and the random week-to-week variation in damage and in participation determines the winner.
I still have fun with it, even more so as FTP and not focusing on what I could be getting and focusing more so on enjoying the hand I am dealt so to speak and finding ways to make the most of that.
I quit the game recently for the third or fourth time, and feel so much better, the time sunk into Hydra and cursed City was not fun each week, I dreaded manualling the higher levels. Everything else was fairly optimised and automated but still costing time. I loved playing for years but they upped the ante and there's almost too much scope for progression, it's costly. Feel like I have my focus back, I just get too obsessed over game targets and clan obligations.
The problem is it's all about the prizes. If everyone just got good stuff no matter it was less about the prize and more about just the bragging rights no one would have issues. But since everything revolves around getting the biggest score for the best prizes it's always going to be a frustration. I don't have super teams, but I do have a Trunda, but I have no idea how do build her to do this billion damage hit. I don't want the crazy high score but I would like to clear some hydra stages with a single hit.
Monday morning, dude its everyday....❤ this is going till the hydra came out. Cmon you see where is the problem... ps. They made a game mode where the game is not ready. Pss, thank god you have hh network on youre game❤
Theese are the cool fun things that raid come out and change 😂
Can't wait til Fateless. Hopefully, you and team don't make the same mistake. Agree becomes less fun when nerf some but not all.
