Here's something I need clarification on and I don't think it needs its own thread:

If 2 Heads regrow simultaneously, only one has the 100% Serpent Will Damage REduction.

Ok, what happens if 3 or 4 regrow at once? Will only one have the buff or will they all have it except one? So 3 regrow = 2 buffs 1 without and 4 regrow = 3 buffs and 1 without?

Related question:  what if one head respawns, I get one turn, and then another head respawns, I get one turn and then a third respwans.  That is not the same as respawning simultaneously.  Will all three heads have the buff or only the first to respawn?

If only the first, then that is a spot where damage will potentially go up for end game comps.

Only 2 ever regrow simultaneously

Ok this might be where my confusion is. The video said that the heads re-grow once their HP is fully depleted. Is it TWO different conditions for regrowth now? 2 Turns or Full HP Depletion...

Also if they do respawn when the Decap's HP is depleted, then 3 could have their HP depleted simultaneously by a strong enough AOE...

So if you bring 3 Decap's to Zero HP, two respawn together and then the 3rd respawns immediately after?

I was thinking it only applied to the scenario when all 4 were decapped.  Didn't consider the hp depletion lol. No idea.... 

see this is where I might not have understood. From what the video explained, it sounded like the heads *only* regrow once the decap head's hp is depleted. And the Decap HP is 2x Original Head HP. 

But I could be wrong, it might be a "whichever comes first" situation. 2 turns pass OR HP is fully depleted

I guess I'll find out after work lol

So they nerf all the fusion champs (Wixwell, emric, shyak) and significantly buffed Trunda with debuff ability for natures wrath. .....

I wouldn't say Trunda got a buff by any stretch, Taking away her double crit multiplied splash damage is about 90% of her total damage output, assuming ~300 crit dam

Are there further changes to the AI?  I must've missed that.  I actually considered more AI improvements to be a missed opportunity.

All I saw concerning AI in the video was a comment about the AI targetting a head that devoured a toon. That change is already active from a couple of weeks ago.

AI and Red Dot and I still cant get all my champs to always focus a devoured head.  Most of my damage came from targeting devoured heads.  

Does this mean I might have to actually learn about Hydra and how to build teams for it?  

Yeah don't get me wrong, she's viable in Hydra still and actually is more deadly in Arena now (potentially) plus her A3 can place HP Burns on Hydra which is at least something.

But Clash is gonna be interesting this week, I didn't expect the Taunt changes... at least Yumeko was left alone

One thing that probably will be frustrating is when a head respawns with 100% damage reduction and the devours a champion, you can't break your champion free until the buff wears off. Definitely not looking forward to dealing with that.

Trunda totally got a buff.  She will once again be a top tier Arena Nuker, and she will become an effective AoE Burner.  Saph did a video today that showcased exactly how he thinks Trunda will continue to outperform every other dmg toon in Hydra.  

Of course, we won't actually know until next week....
