I'm going to keep this short and sweet. So as of yesterday I converted part of my Low lands so I could become an attack heavy hybrid (74%att 26%spy) and I'd like to gain a stronger understanding of how this improves pvp/Ee/eb participation. My questions are 1. What advantages do hybrid builds have over attack builds? 2. Would it be overall beneficial to change to a balanced hybrid build? Thank you in advance for any information.
Hybrid are only good for fighting out numbered. aside from that the aren't that good. 3 of my accounts are hybrids the biggest is like 7mil cs. this account when it was about 1.5mill cs weaker made only slightly less gold per eb than my 7mill cs hybrid.
Biggest advantage of a hybrid build (atk heavy) is that one is flexible in an osws. Hitting hansels without the need that they must have cash out gives you the choice how to war: Staying high troups whacking atk builds or fighting from pin with soft targets around - so you make easy cash for strip funds/upgrades/repotting. By the payout of HTEs this advantage isn't as big as it was in the past... At the end it's fun to annoy hansels
Hybrid can smash anyone's weakness. AttAck builds with low spies. (Not so much nowadays with tanks tho) And then they can smash hansel weakness, the troops.
Nobody goes traditional hybrids anymore. Everyone's a "cheap" hybrid. They just put a few SOS in lowlands for hybrid mechs without sacrificing much attack power Meaning they can hit banked hansels in EE wars. Personally I think this has ruined round wars. Hansels used to be able to stay up with troops and assass, now since hansels can't do that it's just a turtle fest and killed EE.
As well as a hybrid can smash everyones weakness it's the other way around the same - especially for balanced hybrids. It always depends on yourself and how you like to play. Troups of balanced hybrids are easy targets for atk and atk heavy hybrid builds.... Atk heavy hybrids with suitable sd towers are best allrounders (although your spies suck against towers biggest weakness) - just my 2 cents
it's a decision - steal or be robbed building up spy power or sd towers as a hybrid (ratio 1:4)...with towers you suck already against lesser static sd - 9.5m are just against the "real" robbers
Hy sux in primal if they don't pin their spy fast and not able to keep gold bank.They r become steal feast for ps1.
Hybrids are fun because they can tear apart smaller builds, but major down side is the division of power. Tanks are so useful for there huge attack/ADT Low spies/high sdt. Standard hybrid gets smashed by heavy attack or heavy spy depending on there towers. Simple enough, you divide between the 2 your cutting your power to either side. You pick one side your weak on the other while being strong in your area of choice
