    but bases are floating, what exactly would u hit? walls? bunkers are gone by maverick already lol...
    That's what I have the Elite Legion for ;)  
    trust me I've used it, if you're not manually targeting and controlling the unit yourself, it can be easily distracted by the huge number of LSDs spawning from the other buildings. (unless you have Anti-Personnel Shells running)  and if you have lag you can't even press on the target.
    I still have to practice using each weapon more & more, and test them in different situations.

    I haven't killed mine yet, and my friend (who has the Omega + 4 tech maxed) did more than 4 high-level bases with it +Inferno\Jackals\Legion combo, and said it barely lost half health!! hard to believe until I try it myself tonight.  and I will post the results as soon as I can.

    so what was repair time half dead? lol. thanks in advance. gogobar tests were bit disappointing but the ones in 80 boss base are very strong. armour might be key and so are the guns so your friend might be right. on the other hand I have flat people lvl 50 with just air n missiles so depending on your friends skill and bases involved it might mean nothing or everything.

    SO, what is the difference between the Elite Hydra, and the Omega Hydra?



    Both has a platoon capacity of 750 (562 with maxed war factory) and a workshop capacity of 2000. but 


    1- the Omega is better in terms of Damage and Health.. which means if your Elite Hydra takes say 4 minutes repair time after an Ion shot, the Omega will take only 3. 

    2- The Omega has access to double armor boosts from each armor component (the Elite has only 1 per component).

    3- The Omega has a special +Damage bonus for each weapon against Vehicles, Infantry, and Aircraft.

    4- The Omega's Gatling Gun component can shoot at Airborne targets, the Elite version can't. 

    5- It has more Mad Max–Style than the Elite. ;) 
    not sure what is difference from elite and omega but 1 think i know from lvl 31 omega to lvl 40 is no difference same **** as omega tita lvl 40 dont make any difference from lvl 31

    While it might be a small amount per level, each +Health increase is important, as it gives your unit a better chance of surviving in the battlefield and reduces the repair time compared to the same unit with lower level.

      
    each level gets a 45,800 increase in Health, and 297 increase in damage. but notice how the Omega promotion jumps over the previous levels with a 20% increase in both stats.

    and don't forget about the components too! the Omega promotion has more useful & powerful unique tech.

    I assume you can't put the Hydra in your base for defense?

      How much resources does it take to switch from each setup?  I am thinking that is how Kixeye will screw us.  Especially if players fully upgrade the Gold tech.

    That's right, you can't use it as a base defender.

    IIRC it's about 500K thorium for each rare component. I'll check & confirm it as soon as I can.

    Claiming your test are invalid since the unit is only level 1.  Should have done a scan of the Kronus base, the Hydra's were all level 1. except Kronus. Whatever tech they had, sure ate up every toon I threw at it like butter being melted in the microwave.

    I have to agree... The Omega's are MUCH more powerful in the KRONOS BASE.



    Advanced Scout shows the Omega's ( Labeled as just Hydra ) to be all Level 1.

    And this power can be seen in this unfortunate player's video....

    LOLOLOL... i shouldn't laugh really but it was SO funny he showed dedication... he was losing and he kept throwing everything at it, including the kitchen sink....... he must have over a weeks repair time for sure LOL

    yeah it looks like +100 splash which is pretty good, but it still lacks the agility and the range of a Legion. I hope it gets at some point an extra slot for special customizations with options to choose from like +25 increased range, added status effects Fire, Cryo, or Busted, increased speed, better handling or turn radius... etc (only one option\enhancement can be equipped in that slot)

    legion has like 80 I believe and 110 with boom rounds right? So this is already better than vanilla legion then hehe. But yeah some more shop would not hurt It has 2000 space and its guns and armour take up 0 space, maybe a hint or just usual kix oversight? who knows lol. I think 500 vs 525 range is not a huge difference. Will sometimes be a problem but not that often.

    only the OMEGA with its Gold Gatling Gun can shoot at Airborne targets. 
    the regular hydra elite in boss base lvl 80 can shoot at air units though.

    I'm thinking this unit would be a good unit to have in your back pocket for certain situations, but have not been impressed so far via video. I'm at lvl 1 upgrading to lvl 2. And with the extended / double repair time with Omega tech. It makes me wonder more. It will take a lot of time to get it maxed.

    Remember how a lot of people used Dante to take out SF Bunkers and such, and he would only get a few minutes worth of Repair Time? I'm thinking maybe the Elite Hydra could also fit into that role.

    Cybertoad...why did you move this into "Player Guides"? Most don't have this unit yet and no one is going to see it. I would keep it in General for peeps can read about the new unit.
