So.. What's been happening forums? Been awhile. I've been in osw, so foruming was limited. For those who don't recognize me it's metal-storm here Anyway. Topic on hand. I'd like to go through a few hybrid types with you. Explain their pro's/con's and rate the build based off my opinion. Then I will open up discussion on where you think they fit in this day and age of kaw. Right. To the lists- Balanced, or "traditional" hybrid The traditional hybrid, is truest to the build name. With a near 50/50 build and no defensive towers, this build makes excellent plunder from EB's and the old SW system. Usually have trouble PVP'ing with this hybrid, as its lack of towers and no stat advantage against its counter builds make it mince meat. Purpose - EB's, Original SW system Pro's - Great plunder Con's - Horrible for PVP Spy heavy hybrid The spy heavy hybrid is similar to the traditional hybrid, however it's stats sway heavily towards spy - typically with enough attack buildings to just fit into hybrid mechs. These builds have great plunder, are great against attack builds in PVP and with the addition of towers can be decent osw builds. Purpose - EB's, Original OSW, some PVP Pro's - Plunder, can take out att builds Con's - will get destroyed by hansels Attack heavy hybrids The opposite of the spy heavy hybrid, this build focuses more on the attack stats. Can be brutal with high bfa, but generally would be suited for EB's or fighting attack builds with lower spy stats. Purpose - EB's Pro's - Plunder Con's - Vulnerable to most builds Towered BFA hybrid Alright the fun one! A lot of high BFA accs that osw frequently have started converting to this build. Consists of enough attack and spy stats to be hybrid, but more than 1.5m static spy defense. This build is brutal. Hard to strip, hard to even scout. I wouldn't recommend this build unless you have over 5tr in allies to protect, or you nob very often, as you won't be making much off your haunts with all that static D at the very least, wait until your t5 bc. This build will cut your growth down. Purpose - OSW, EE Wars Pro's - Excellent strip stopper Con's - Crap plunder Alright guys. Those are my opinions, so now it's your turn. Where do you think hybrids truly sit? #generalhybridinsulttrollswillbefarmed
Lol at anyone that underestimates this build. Go 1v1 with it amd you will find a new found respect. @Justice-I think you just messed up with that post bud.
Nice thread. Tower hybrid definitely kills plunder, tried it once, (don't do it.) Attack one is very vulnerable to hansels, as you said. Spy heavy is, in my opinion, ehhh.
It's not too bad. I just sacrificed some of my SOS for a few towers. BFA sucks but, all in all I like my build. After T5bc I'll be attack heavy. It works for me ATM.
I think a hybrid build isn't bad if you are very active and have a large enough BFA to help you succeed in actions. I heard Malestone mention that he/she is top 200 on the ally LB and he/she has a hybrid build.
Hybrids do deserve some love. It's certainly an excellent use of resources, but only if you have them.
Well to be technical, I am a hybrid. This thread is about hybrids, thus I am on topic, So.. Leave or don't be a dick. Ty
Lmao. Typical hansel troll. Take the one fail, and use it as ammo. Guess what? No one really cares. Mechs have favored defenders for awhile now, so you gonna hit back or just let me swing?
