Secret Nerf to Wixica Comps in Hydra?!?!?

Has there been an unnannounced nerf to Wixica Hydra comps?  

I just tried to run my Wixica team, and shield explosions that were good for 1B last week are hitting for less than 20M points tonight.  

I did three separate 4-head explosions across two different runs, and all three attemtps failed.

Nope no nerfs, in fact two of my clanmates have already done billions with this team just today.

I hope it is not nerfed.  It is next on my build list after I finish IT15.

It was just bad hits, or the shields were not as big as expected.  I have had disappointing Yanncia explosions before, but having three in a row do 10M was so weird I thought there was nerf.

I ran it again today and did 3.5B.

Glad it worked for you eventually!

Hopefully Moored gets his good run in too:)

Yep, took a few tries but i just finished a personal best 2.25B on NM

9 billion clash points.



The more interesting question is will the shield cap multiplier in this week's update put an end to all shield growth teams?

I haven't seen anything about that.  Is that a secret nerf to Wixica teams?

Nothing in the Raid Digest about it?

To be very clear, Saph stresses that he doesn't know what it means


My *personal* purely speculative interpretation is it means a shield will only be able to be grown to 4 times it's original size.

Well, when Wixwell grows shields, there is a X5 or X6 or X7 for every toon, up to X10 if they have 10 buffs.  The shields grow substantially faster when you get to X7 or above, and in my expereince, you cannot grow the shields fast enough below X5....so, hypothetically, if that X4 applies to Wixwell shield growth, the Wixica Hydra Team is gonna be dead, unless you have two Wixwell.

I agree 100%.  

I have called for a Wixwell nerf from the beginning. You may remember I said that making Clan Boss a gimme game mode was a dumb idea, and that most of the rest of the regular forum posters disagreed with me.... 

However, Nerfing Wixwell w/o Nerfing Trunda just puts us back to one broken toon dominating Hydra Clash.  

At least with the Wixica Team, there is a widely accesible option to combat the Trunda nonsnese.

Instead of nerfing champs, they should lower the absolute damage cap per hit from 320 million to 3.2 million. Trunda teams would still get a final score in the billions anyway.

Regular CB should be easily farmable, it should not be "do 300M with one lego and 4 level 50 champs with 0 tune and campaign gear"

Agreed on all points, which I also made when the champ was released.

That's *why* they don't like it.

Everyone in the Wixica comps was a fusion or guaranteed
