test server, i believe

cb/chimera only show 2.14 maximum (stops counting after) as the damage but then you have clash calculating seperately, more or less

I still think using Titus in Chimera will actively hurt both your account and your clan.

Gotcha... it almost sounds like they thought there'd be no way anyone could do over 2 billion total in Chimera and yet this champ does double that lol

bang on imo. i do not plan on sacrificing a 15-18 trial team for titus, nor do i think most people should. 

Oh im sure tons of people are gonna use Titus cuz big number good.  But the reality is you need Relic mats more than anything, so you should push trials.  Also the Chimera clash rewards are absolutely terrible.  We finished 1st last week and I got 2 3* basalt (good), 400 clan gold and 2 rare gems.  In no way is that worth the cost of losing mythical and lego relic mats. 

The 2. Whatever billion is the integer limit they were limited to at the time.

Again, precisely this. Perhaps there is a comp (likely inaccessible for us peasants without 3 mythics/faction lords) that ends up being reasonable enough that it doesn't feel bad, but I have my doubts.

That, and/or Clash rewards need a massive massive buff. 

Anyone know if those Hydra wixwell Titus teams work on auto?

There are some auto variants yes.  

I suspect the former more than the latter.  It would also just be so on brand for Plarium to release a mythical that grows shields and does like 7 trials themselves. 

I am in no way saying that is (or will be) advisabe to use Titus for Mega Damage on Chimera at the expense of hitting more Trials.  I am saying:

(1) People are going to do it, and they are gonna do it a lot.  

(2) And, beating the dead horse in this thread: It is idiotic to introduce another toon that allows the creation of an abusable shield comp that will destabilize the status quo of Hydra Clash so much that Plarium will eventually be forced to do something about it.

no arguments and it's something that's been conveyed by basically the entirety of the mod team, several times

My concern right now is that Wixwell is gonna get nerfed hard because of Titus, and my less-progressed clustermates wont be able to do demonlord. One of them spend $$$ to get Wix during a boosted summons, and then struggled for about 2 months to build and gear the team. If they were to remove shield growth altogether he'd be *maybe* 4-keying UNM

Yeah, my quick swap is now at 250m unm, 800m nm. Fun times.

Ok, I know it sounds crazy to complain about a Titus bug but I did run into one tonight

i

Gnut (on the right) took his turn with no buffs and Titus's A3 Passive didn't happen. THEN when I tried to use the A2 on Titus (in the SS it's his turn) he cast the 3 buffs on Gnut first then attacked... It says its supposed to happen at the end of the Ally turn tho?

i

See Gnut got the 3 buffs, took his turn and did his A2 for the counterattack...

It reminds me of Amius glitch/timing, how Amius counterattack from you getting a Skill Cooldown doesn't happen UNTIL you try to take your turn

SO, there's just no way there isn't going to be a nerf, and soon.

We've been figuring it'll be a nerf to wixwell's grow shields, but Bronko just posted a vid showing you can have Titus do his own infinite shield growth with a bloodshield accessory and buff extenders, cooldown reducers, or both.

If plarium sticks to their word that Titus wont be nerfed, then 2 possible solutions would be to give hydra and chimera and unresistable shield-strip, even for protected shields, or to set an absolute per-hit damage cap, which would also stop hydra trunda teams from "working as intended" being broken.

And *maybe* after the 4th nerf they'll learn to stop giving new champs damage that scales with shields... but I wouldn't bet on it. 

edit: oh, a 3rd option would be to set an absolute maximum size on shields, the way they already limited wixwells shieldgrowth to a cap of 1m. But given the damage numbers we've been seeing from titus with that cap already in place, they'd likely have to cut it down to 250k, maybe even less.

i

We all want our billion!!!  😜

Joke memes aside, I don't see Wixwell as the problem here, not if Titus can grow his own shield ftom a bloodshield ring.

But if Wix as a community designed champ is gonna get blamed and nerf'd (again), I can make a Batmaneater or Hellcat team, so Titus's OP shield interaction isn't going to cause me to quit, it will suck, but not game-ending.

For note: I use Fyna, Wix, Corvis, Lady Mikage and Geo for most DL, get about 280-350 million, but swap Geo out for Corpulent Cadaver for the "use a rare" quest.  "CC" does about 100 million in those runs, which puts me in the middle of non-Titus Wix comps.  Not bad, not game breaking since CC and Wix have both been capped.

Titus's design is the completely-out-of-scale problem imho.

I have two clanmates that have already built Titus for Hydra. One of them did 1.73B on NM and the other did 2.93B.
