Yep, have run into the same exact problems you're outlining here. I use my best 12 on Hard/Brutal, and then I'm scraping a bit on Normal. On the easier (read: non Wrath) weeks, it's not so bad. I don't really want to take up dupes or fringe Hydra champions at the cost of getting masteries on Arena champs just in the hopes of making this go easier.

Getting the quest three times in a week was not ideal. I don't mind passing up energy and such at this stage of the game and have outright skipped the quest a few times now because I just can't be bothered.

See my comment to HQ... 😆

Not moving gear around 😂

Usually I try to get all my Hydra done at once when I do it, and by the time I'm at Normal I can't be bothered anymore.

You need better scrubs if you need 4 resets on normal 😆 🤣 

Maybe some of us like to fully optimize our Brutal teams instead of whatever "meh, this might work" that you've got going. lolol

And don't insult my Akoth, while fiery, he's a softy at heart. Us perma-F2Ps can only choose from Fusion and DT champs. lol

Every week is a Poison Cloud into Decay Cleanse into Mischief eating your champs, then getting life barriered. I saw it on every difficulty, in every fight last week. The respawns ALWAYS worked out that way every single time, multiple multiple total resets across the difficulties.

Either my roster/gear/whatever is that much better than yours, I doubt it... or you guys are over complicating normal hydra.  After reset, I will try a "D" team on normal.  

No legos, no shameal.  I'm pretty sure I can get

Let us know how it goes!

Seriously though, I think RNG plays a huge roll.

The previous two weeks I was able to full auto with the same team and get it on the first try. (Full auto with targeting the heads with it on auto, so MOSTLY auto I guess.)

yeh i try and get it out of the way in one go.

To be honest i would completely ignore it now but i dont want it coming up as an advanced quest so tend to get it out the way

The rewards are really meh though, i just picked up 2 knight chest and 2 warrior chest and got a couple of hundred clan gold and some trash gear, not worth the effort...

Oh well not the end of the world :)

I cheated and used drex. But figured that was a free champ that everyone should have and using geomancer would have been more cheating.  But these are 6 champs not on my A, B or C teams.  The AI is horrendous... so I could see it failing.  But if I did manual it would probably take less than 5 minutes instead of 12. I think it went 150 turns, but the targeting was brutal to watch lol.

Note to noobs, if you aren't buying drexthar fragments... start today.

Are you prepared to hear about how people don't have these champs?

Cause Trips..... I don't have Vogoth OR Stag Knight. How would I EVER do this?? XD

Post your roster (x out your A/B teams), happy to help a n00b learn to play with what you have... 😆 🤣 

Maybe I will do a run with Warmaiden just 4u... 😆

Do one with only Campaign Farmable champs. Looking at YOU, Spirithost.

Also, in agreement on Drex. Get him ASAP for anyone reading this who still is needing to buy frags.

I was the WORST at remembering to go pick up frags for him daily. And he is just SO GOOD.

The A team, actually wasn't that long of play time.  I didn't pause a couple times waiting for counter attacks to finish.  Though with a meal break and health breaks was almost 2 hours... 😆  less than 80 turns i think. Pure luck to get it on 2nd try...

Nice run though Trips. How long did the first run take before the reset/regroup?

Ursula is 2 immortal sets (i should regear in regen) and perception.  I can post stats later if interested. 

Geo only one in lifesteal,  husk heals only from lifedrinker.  So waiting for 2 to die instead of reviving just one is a risk I took twice lol.  Lydia and kimi don't heal at all lol.
