Don't need a video on this one, it's in known bugs on discord.

tl;dr another update that broke stuff

Ok good because the only mention I saw was:

"We've noticed that after the update 10.10, certain Champions stopped prioritizing attacking Heads that are digesting their teammates or Exposed necks in auto-battle mode. We'll fix these AI behavior deviations in future updates."

So it didn't sound like they were aware of the extent of the AI issues

Yeah, it just seems like in general AI quality degraded heavily after this update. Have seen quite a few reports of confusing (and outright bad) decisions.

I'm convinced they will never get hydra "right" at this point.   Only solution is to flatten clash rewards 1 thru 5 so it becomes irrelevant.  Then add auto complete.  We can all just focus on chimera and pvp.

Relegate hydra to legacy content with demon lord, classic, 3v3, dungeons....

I am glad that I read this.  I was about to reopen my Hydra thread to get some help.  Now, I can save time and resources not gearing any other champs for Hydra.  

Sadly it just means we can't run on auto right now. I mean you can but...

For example, this week with the current bugs my Auto NM runs were getting about 100 mil dmg. Doing it manual I got 380 mil. Since the "Rebalance" it's usually about 50% less doing it on auto. Right now it's 1/3rd of the manual damage :(

I run on auto but use the red dot to compensate for obvious AI issues.  Now, that is even worse.  The "fix" was supposed to make sure AI was better.  I dont have any trust that Plarium will ever fix Hydra.  Until, they do, I wont waste resources building teams for it.  

oh for sure, save your silver and free gear removal tokens. If you don't have the time to do a 45+ min run, that's totally understandable. Somehow I had a great week with Brutal also. The Suffering head being Force actually gave my Magic DPS (Thor, Trunda and Ninja) more survival since they were weak-hitting his reflect damage. I was concerned because Uugo is my main block buffs and Poison is also Force, so getting it on Suffering and Poison was tricky. Rian stepped up as the MVP for block buffs on his A1 so that was nice.

Ugir the Wyrmeater is also a *really* good hydra support champ

Yeah I skipped his fusion unfortunately... sadly he's one of the few skipped fusions I didn't end up pulling like a month or two afterward. Also I think Rian's A1 block buffs isn't tied to the hit itself so it can still place on Poison Cloud

hate to be the bearer of bad news, but her block buffs is absolutely tied to the attack.

I think it's possible to get it right but it certainly seems to be going the way of older content and features in this game - in that over time focus just seems to dwindle over time. Typically we're used to seeing this in improvements but now maintenance is an ongoing struggle.

Once auto complete arrives it's just deuces for me. Would much rather mess around with Chimera teams/builds & Arena, then call it a day.

Figured you'd be interested in this because it confirms what I was saying in the previous post. Suffering, who is Negative Affinity to Ninja, gets HP Burn re-applied with his A2 through Poison Cloud and since it's tied to the hit itself, that shouldn't be possible right?
