Hybrid just makes you able to hit anything and lets everything hit you. I remember older days of being a hybrid I only see it as a mild advantage over attack builds in primal wars. Also not bad if you're going to be small in monster indi wars. Otherwise, pretty pointless for OSw and eb. The spy heavy hybrid seems totally worthless to me. But you still see some of those.
Advantage is versatility, but there is a devil to pay. Takes slot of spy power or bfa to be worth going hybrid. You will get pounded until u get really strong, that's when hybrids get fun.It's a long road though
Honestly, tank w. hybrid mechs is your best bet. Before I tore down buildings and converted to hansel, I was a beast in indi wars. However when faced with bigger builds than you, you get crushed. Even with a good amount of adt/sdt. My stats were 5.7mil/9.3mil/900k/4.5mil decent bfe, no bfa Again I will say, beast when faced with people around your size, but primal war, 100man indi war, not good. It will be the same with any other hybrid build
Pointless for osws? yea yea...how many osws you joined? I'm curious bc of your statement. The disadvantage by lack of spypower is the same for an atk build - the ponit about monster BFA is also fun bc it makes every build great I agree about spy heavy hybrids which are the worsest choice.
Don't forget that when you do EE you war as part of a team. Every build has its job to do. Every build has its plus and it's minus points. Hybrids aren't there to do everything, the same with Hansels. That's why you have other builds you war with. That's the job of the wc to put the roster together. And very few clans will war primals with ps. Ps1 or Hansels are mainly used. That's when hybrids become useful against the enemy
