4 Simultaneous Serpent's Will Buffs - WTH
Plarium has this to say in the FAQ
If two new Hydra Heads appear at once, only one receives the [Serpent's will] buff. But what if I manage to kill more Heads at the same time? - If you cut down 3 exposed necks at a time, 2 of the 3 new Heads will have the [Serpent's will] buffs. If you dispose of 4 necks at once, still only 2 of the new Heads will have the [Serpent's will] buffs. If you kill exposed necks one by one, this rule doesn't apply, and they might all end up with the [Serpent's will] buffs. However, we expect that facing all the 4 heads at once with the buffs will be a rare occasion.
That is most definitely a load of BS. I had all four heads respawn one right after another on my very first trial key on Hard Hydra today...4 minutes into the fight. So much for "a rare occasion."
It seems that the intent of this piece of the update is to prevent heads from being nuked immediatley upon respawn by Trunda teams or other teams that figure out how to do Trunda-esque damage. I get that. However this is actually MORE PUNISHING for teams that do less than Trunda-esque damage because they are far less likely to nuke multiple severed necks simultaneously, and when they are spaced at all, then all the heads get the buff when they respawn, and in my brief experience, having 3-4 heads respawn with the buff is happening quite frequently.
If this is indeed supposed to be a "rare occasion", then there needs to be an adjustment to the coding.
