Well, both.

Titus is probably better to go for first, especially if you have brogni and/or krisk.

I think bronko came up with a non-wix titus comp where he used triple boodshield accessories with buff extenders to grow his shields & damage.

Too lazy atm to look it up, but if you have trouble finding it let me know and ill scour through my history

found it. It is very much a manual team. Key is you have to make absolutely sure titus's shield has a duration of 1 when he uses his big hit, otherwise it won't overwrite his existing shield even though the new one is larger.

There is no way that PG is gonna run a Manual Hydra Titus Team.  

It's tough to say who to grab first of those two when you really need the pair to get the work done.  

In Hydra, they are the attainable Meta, with no downside, and if you get lucky with the Devour rotation, you can sometimes get a sweet score with an auto-battle. Other times, it takes more than 9 runs to work it out.

Here is my run from this week.  I did do some of it semi-manual so I could get a new PB:

On the other hand, in Chimera, most Titus Teams suck a big one when it comes to Trials, so I don't use him there and don't really get why people do.  All it does is stack clash points, but the materials from running trials are more important than the meager Clash Rewards....

Impressive. To bad I don't have any of these champs. 3+ grand into the game and still can't do much with the champs and gears I've bought. Strongest in the clan but mostly a f2p clan. Game is so overpriced. Will be years and thousands of dollars to get th team you have there. 

I am not F2P, but am also not a big spender. The Titus/Wixwell Hydra Comp is accesible to the masses because it is achievable through time in-game and knowing how to gear well:

• Titus & Wixwell are the only toons strictly required to make this comp work, and they were both fusions.   
• Lamasu & Lydia are rewards for playing the game.  Lamasu can be replaced by Emic or Donnie, both of whom were fusions.  
• Hatter was a fusion and can be replaced by any another buff extender in a Hex set.
• Diamant was not a fusion, but he can be replaced by any other buff extender. Bambus & Oella are common choices since they were both fusions, so lots of peeps have them.  

It's not sexy but if you're someone spending on shards but still early/midgame you are almost always going to significantly leverage your resources better if you invest in guaranteed fusions/champs where you know what you're going to get with any other pulls being a bonus. 

It's the simplest, lowest variance and most effective way to build an account. anything else is more akin to gambling, and that really goes for accounts of all shapes and sizes. 

well  my  best shield champion is  Krisk  so  would  he  fill  wixwell  spot  if  I went for  Titus

and  your  correct  I am not gonna  manual hydra  or  chimera .   I auto  but  that  does  not  mean  I cannot  improve  my  current  scores  by  adding  one  of  them  into the lineup.  I  was  wondering  if  one  might  do  me  more  good  than  the  other.

I already suspected  Titus  and  leaning  that  direction.  But gonna be   a few  months before I get the 3  fusion  tokens  to act on it

Id go Titus first.  Hes can do some cool stuff without Wixwell.  Also hes a void lego so much harder to pull. 

Manual is a bad word. 

New fusion even brings a nice new Magma Shield. 

really good point about being void. much more likely to randomly pull a wix before a titus before you have enough fusion tokens to get both

100% 

never  considered  this  but good point

Two questions-

1) mind posting some of the specifics on how that Titus team on auto works? Guessing high res and hope for no shield steal, and otherwise just rotating buff extenders?

2) What's magma shield, and can it be extended?

If you run it on auto, you just need to do 40 or 50 runs to get the right rng

Magma shield is a shield with damage reflect, you get it from the mythic relic volcardiac heart, and yes it can be extended

Oh so quick battle is not gonna work eh? Much less interested then :/

Quick Battle works, but only if you get lucky with the Devour Rotation. Otherwise, you may need to run more battles until you get the RNG you need.  

Are you using a Titus team now?  You have to have a different toon have the highest CD, because highest CD is the initial Devour Target.  After that it is totally Random, so Titus could be second or he could be last.  Obviously, you want him to be last or close to last.

I do build all my Hydra Toons with fairly high Res, plus I am using Diamant so one of the buffs that gets stacked is Inc Res.  Oella will the same thing and is a perfect swap for Diamant in my comp above. 

To get the most damage from a Titus Comp, you need to get the shields grown as quickly as possible and have as many shields as possible to grow: (1) You need someone in a chunky shield set, (2) You need Wixwell to open with his A3 and then priotize his A2 to grow, (3) If you have a Volcardiac Heart Relic, the Magma Shield is a third shield that can be grown, which will give a solid boost to Titus' Damage over time, (4) The new fusion (Pelops) will be the first toon able to cast a Magma Shield, so he would become Hydra Meta even w/o that nice Damage Mitigation.

I have Lamasu in 6 pcs of Impulse and Wixwell in Reflex to cycle their skills faster. I have a shield set on Diamant with 90K HP and a Volcardiac Heart on Hatter with 93K HP. Lydia is just in standard gear. If I regeared her to 9 pcs Protection or Feral, I could get more damage out of Titus.  Titus is in 7 pcs Merciless for the Ignore Defense. If I can ever get him a good set of 9, I will try it but the extra turns could let him out-run his buffs, which already happens sometimes with Lamasu hitting him with her A3s.

What else do you want to know?

All pretty good advice. I'm basically trying to figure out if there is an easy way to take my cb team and make it work in hydra. Currently running wix, titus, demy, brogni, and mikage, all around 250ish spd, but without very much res. I do have Oella, as well as probably many other options to put in. Tbh not needing any monster numbers, but if I could get into the higher millions, I wouldn't mind - currently get around 60-100 on 

I think you can safely break any CB team to facilitate hydra/chimera. 

Unless you need big numbers to assist a lower level clan, top chest is attainable with 4 solid dps and 1 support. And that was 2 years ago.
