Im trying to figure out new hydra teams :P only lost like 700m clash pts(down to 1.1b to 1.2b with 3 keys instead of 1.8B to 2.1B)

Also wondering if i should make manual team cuz hydra AI is now rly rly stupid ... 

I thought they fixed Hydra A1 in a previous fix?  But, I see comments like yours that it was not done right.  

I wont invest the time to do long battles on manual.  

AI might be worse, it is most certainly not better 

I would auto the 3rd key until it got you enough for all the milestone rewards.  I myself will follow @ClosedPoly Lead and let the dust settle prior to making significant changes.  I may play around a bit manual next week time permitting. 

Maybe gear up someone like Firrol... 😆

These AI bots are getting better.  They still sound like a Thesis paper but at least they are generally relevant comments to the game.

Time to gear up Firrol no matter what. 

Also if you're waiting for something besides AI changes, you better buckle in and prepare for that train to never come.

Pine cone is hilariously broken, yes. 😂

That sounds like more than conjecture on your part? While I think most of the requests (including my own) to limit that damn buff go to far.  I don't think its unreasonable for us to keep KramAsking for at least a 3 at a time max... :)

But as one who dislikes confalting issues I'll settle for ongoing hydra AI improvements.  Tell them they can go step by step and not try to fix everything at once... we know how that often turns out.  Firrol is next on my list btw...

I firmly expect them to only change one thing at a time. This means AI improvements. Then data collection for some time after that before any additional changes are considered.

Waiting to adapt to a player suggested Hydra change that likely will be some length of time to arrive, if it even ever comes, isn't something that I'll personally be doing. I'm already changing my teams and making improvements so that I can comfortably auto everything at a level I'm happy with. 

There's just too many hard hitting teams already making the rounds at 1.2-4 billion NM for me to think Hydra is gonna be made easier, some of them in my clan. And there's just too many new things coming to think I want to wait to make changes to my teams until 6-12 months from now when either something changes I give up waiting. I'll be busy with new content. :D 

This is a casino.  When gamers find a way to do much better than Plarium expected they will be smacked down.  It is like "card counting".  Plarium does not like when gamers can outwit the game.  They dont like being embarassed.  

Money talks here.  When high rollers complain, Plarium will listen.  When F2P complain Plarium knows they can replace them.  Low spenders pay the overhead so they have some value.  Dont overestimate your value to the game.
