@@DanStaal Although that shouldn't be an issue. Barring human mains, most builds just know how to play to their strengths and avoid situations that highlight their weaknesses.

3:49 Actually, hippos have spec’d _slightly_ into omnivory. They sometimes even spawn kill their own teammates if resources are low. Or if they’re just REALLY salty.
There are very few pure herbivore builds. Herbivores generally will take meat if it is given to them, but generally find vegetation grinding easier once they have the digestion buffs so just go for that. One exception might be vegan-class human builds though, who maintain a herbivorous playstyle even without digestion buffs by using their intelligence stat to pick the right nutrition.

@@wheelman1324 they’ve probably patched the build out they just can’t ban him without banning other players using a special event like an eruption. It’s not worth that to ban him so they’re just letting him have a playthrough with broken stats
I'm getting a few comments saying that hippos do eat meat on occasion, which is something I looked into while writing this episode as well. Based on what I found during my research, hippos only eat meat when severely stressed or starving (insert another Darkest Dungeon reference here) and since they can't actually digest it, I think it's fair to still call them obligate herbivores. tl;dr a healthy hippopotamus will only eat vegetation.
And I feel like that’s what makes hippos even more op since humans don’t see them as a threat which means that we won’t go to war with them anytime soon
When I first tried the Human build, I met a Hippo player in what I thought was a non-PVP zone; the Hippo was essentially just showcasing its build for more inexperienced Human players, like myself. However, while trying to unequip my level 3 Pacifier, I accidentally dropped it - and the asshole just stole it from me. Chewing on it like that gave him any exp. Scarred me. Definitely do not mess with Hippos.
Honestly i think you're pretty lucky. I still haven't tried getting out of the Asian server, and I really wanna see the other servers because as far as I know, there aren't much hippo players in my area. Most are bug mains and lizard mains, but sometimes I get to see a bird player outside my base.

1:45 I didn't know hippos could run that fast. I can see how they were able to get such a reputation in the African server for PvP against human players. Unless they have a fairly high-quality ranged weapon there is not a lot a human main can do, since hippos are one of the builds who are virtually immune to human intimidation attacks.
It's a close call actually, hippos are slightly faster than a human at top speed, but humans can run at top speed for longer than a hippo 25-30 seconds for the hippo 35-40 seconds for the human If there was some distance between you, then a reasonably fit human might be able to outrun a hippo by running it out of energy, and that's ignoring adrenaline, which can make you run even faster, and for longer than normal

Nah Australia is the test server where potentially broken and crazy builds can be tested by devs and players in a somewhat closed off environment so to not infect and break every other server.
Actually, they did spec into ivory, just like elephants and walruses. Their ivory just isn't worth it as they have good stealth and that ivory is hard to get to.
The UK government is currently in the process of adding hippos to the ivory act, in order to reduce trade. The biggest advantage for the hippos is that while they can be shot in the water, they sink, so the only way to get the ivory is to get in the water, with the other hippos and with the crocodiles. Poachers have to REALLY want that ivory.

In Russian hippos are called "бегемоты" which is literally "behemoths" in Cyrillic. P.s. Just to be clear, you can also call hippopotamus a "гиппопотам" which is, you guessed it, the same word but in Cyrillic.
Honestly, listening to you describe how Hippos can run under water because they are so dense, it literally sounds like someone describing wavedashing. Like, it sounds like someone describing a technical glitch in a video game, but it's actually happening in real life.
@@PaulisInclusion But it was fake gameplay, a convincing fake but a fake nontheless, the human mains are starting to think they are going meta when they create their"video games and movies" garbage but it is obviously a hacked server.
"Okay boys, how do we make a tank build top tier?" Porcupine mains: "Get a defense mechanism so brutal it makes you practically impossible to deal with" Sea Turtle mains: "Capitalize on an uncontested food source and develop scavenging abilities" Hippo mains: "B R E A K P H Y S I C S"
@@Grandflea02 While a few other players (such as horses) are also capable of this ability, human mains still benefit the most from this ability due to their no fur adaption!
@@Grandflea02 we dont actually use sweating to directly regenerate stamina, we use it for cooling, which reduces stamina drain enough that our natural stamina regeneration exceeds the drain from running, it's still a broken mechanic though
Devs pls nerf. Also, I'm a piranha main, and I'd like to point out that we almost always eat things that are already dead. We only attack othef players when we are starving.
Wait so a piranha main is typing I need to call the game developers *Gets the bible and go make Pray* dear god, something in my server must be wrong, an piranha main is typing, please fix this amen.
I mean, it's to be expected. Considering that hippos are one of, if not the most aggressive mammals on the planet. And there are plenty of people who are foolish enough to trifle with them.
Just killing humans doesn't make you S tier though. Orcas have no human kill registered and they're number 2. Dogs are the number 1 support class, thus S tier too, and even though they're the most widespread carnivore, their human kill percentage isn't even near to being important.
im having flashbacks of that lobby screen and just seeing the globe going round and round on the left side of the screen with hijacked as the map on the right perfection of a game i tell ya👌🏾
I recently visited the African server and luckily there were no hippo mains in the near vicinity where I arrived at. But locals to the server had some stories about them, they are scary top tiers
@Oxnard Darcy I'm African human main and I'm so glad they are leaving they are just unstoppable. Even with the good build they can one shoot for one mistake not fair at all...
As a hippo main, here are a few tips: 1. don't stay out of water too long or you'll lose your moisture and dry out. 2. the sweat is helpful, but use mud more often, kind of like a Barroth from monster hunter. 3. avoid growing with salty hippo players, they'll likely kill you and you have to restart growing.
this game needs an update so fuckin bad, like is there even a Virus class playerbase? Are these cunts even alive? Or is it just a forced-update massive nerf to archetypal humans?
I've heard that a professional Hippo player is called "Moto Moto" and he gets multiple mates in every play he has. I think you should make a video about legendary players from the game.
Have you ever heard of the legendary player named gustave? Legends say he dominated the meta for a lot of years, but when africa needed him most he disappeared.
@@ingenjannik Inbreeding can indeed bring malformations. On the other hand, it also allows faster mutations and thus adaptability. Plus, considering the numerous rivers on the continent, the most famous one being the Amazon, I guess they could easily adapt to it. But to which cost for South America ?
Oh god, once the hippo becomes too common for other servers I predict there’s going to be so many “Stop using the hippo build, it’s too OP! 😭” arguments -_-
Bruh its so fucking OP admit it. Its literally boring to be all the day taking the sun with red protector and in the Night eating grass, like how tf is that not OP
we germans got it right. We say "Nile horse". idk if that makes more sense than "shield toad" aka turtle, but its propably better than "stink animal" aka skunk
Verbugter Herr der Dunkelheit human build. No question. Easily the most overpowered in the entire game. They have found counters to everything that counters them, and they dominate the best builds in every sever. I’d say Elephants or Dolphins are the next level down. Then ants right below them.
Thomas Urech Super high int stat on top of the broken-tier unique skill “Inherited Knowledge” makes them unstoppable. I don’t even know what the devs we’re thinking.
@@52flyingbicycles I think this discussion is going the wrong way. Yes, Humans are op. But that doesn't mean he's a must pick. I wanted to know how his build would lool like if he could design one freely
Antarctica has a 1 boss which is the polar bear. The level may be the thoughest to endure but only 1 boss makes it an easier win. Africas level conditions are easier to endure but there is basically a boss fight around every corner.
Well it was recently confirmed that hippos are S tier in South America. They are dominating so much that humans are considering becoming a support class for everyone else suffering.
i get that they have no natural predators there, but hippos are no frogs or rabbits, they don't reproduce so fast and need a lot of food to grow up. Pay a reward to hunters who kill a hippo. More if it's a female one(no females=no little hippos). I cannot fathom how that could be an issue.
The fact that Pablo Escobar hacked hippos into the South America server to showoff and now that they are showing signs of complete server domination is crazy, they should patch the hacked hippos, maybe patching their access to the breeding quest would be suficient to eventually end their rise to domination in a less severe way compared to banning, but that server meta isnt ready to deal with the absolute power of the hippo build
"Also ironicly one of the worst matchups for a hippo is another hippo" It's almost like they're so OP that hippo players spec primarily to fight other hippos.

"Africa: the game's Hardcore server."
My Brain: What does that make Australia, then? Modded Server?
the challenge server, the environment is more difficult to survive, but you dont have nearly as many problems to worry about as african players do.
Nah Australia is the test server where potentially broken and crazy builds can be tested by devs and players in a somewhat closed off environment so to not infect and break every other server.
@@Real_MisterSir That makes complete sense
Ive always thought it like.. Africa as the grandmaster PvP server, Australia as a mod and Antarctica as the survival mod
@@Danny-hu9tv However that also makes a lot of sense
Hippos also haven't specked into the Ivory category, so they're not endangered by human players. Smart move
by their side.
Actually, they did spec into ivory, just like elephants and walruses. Their ivory just isn't worth it as they have good stealth and that ivory is hard to get to.
The UK government is currently in the process of adding hippos to the ivory act, in order to reduce trade.
The biggest advantage for the hippos is that while they can be shot in the water, they sink, so the only way to get the ivory is to get in the water, with the other hippos and with the crocodiles. Poachers have to REALLY want that ivory.

Amber Rose, mosquitos have good stats only in aggregate. Each individual does almost nothing and always dies.
In Russian hippos are called "бегемоты" which is literally "behemoths" in Cyrillic.
P.s. Just to be clear, you can also call hippopotamus a "гиппопотам" which is, you guessed it, the same word but in Cyrillic.
The biblical behemoth is a poetic description of the hippopotamus. Leviathan is the crocodile. Both from the Nile.

I mean, it's to be expected. Considering that hippos are one of, if not the most aggressive mammals on the planet. And there are plenty of people who are foolish enough to trifle with them.
Just killing humans doesn't make you S tier though.
Orcas have no human kill registered and they're number 2.
Dogs are the number 1 support class, thus S tier too, and even though they're the most widespread carnivore, their human kill percentage isn't even near to being important.

Human mains on the African server would likely agree.
I recently visited the African server and luckily there were no hippo mains in the near vicinity where I arrived at. But locals to the server had some stories about them, they are scary top tiers
@Omar Badr Not even Pygmy Hippos ?
@Oxnard Darcy I'm African human main and I'm so glad they are leaving they are just unstoppable. Even with the good build they can one shoot for one mistake not fair at all...
@Omar Badr Like many things in nature, they are only cool and fascinating from a safe distance.
@Oxnard Darcy Now is makes sense why human African mains have a small edge up in speed... To outrun the hippos.
As a hippo main, here are a few tips:
1. don't stay out of water too long or you'll lose your moisture and dry out.
2. the sweat is helpful, but use mud more often, kind of like a Barroth from monster hunter.
3. avoid growing with salty hippo players, they'll likely kill you and you have to restart growing.
