If I remember right, they didn't change how Corpulent Cadaver worked, they just capped the maximum he could go. I have a feeling they will do the same here. Most likely they will cap the amount of damage he can do on a single hit.
That Bronko cat figures out the CRAZIEST strats. Dude is like a mad scientist! EDIT: There is zero chance they let that go on. Ironclad will be "fixed". 😂
@@ASH-RAIDwhen I saw Skratch use one of his ideas several months ago I instantly found Bronko and subscribed. If ANYONE deserves the "JEDI" in their name it's him. No shade at any of the other CCs. But DAMN he's an assassin!
100 percent they will "FIX" but honestly if it does works o Hydra it is kind of broken mechanics. And by broken I mean it in a good way. But like always with Greedium if something is good for players it's bad for them 😂
Yeah, they just need to change the scoring system in hydra clash and clan league so that getting a massive score in CB or hydra isn't an unfair advantage. Like get over a limit and you get a certain number of points, so that it's not based on total damage but on ability to reach a particular milestone. This way people can have fun with seeing how high they can damage the boss but not put others at an unfair advantage.
Thank you for the shout out much Love btw my son wants me to tell you that you are his favorite raid cc his always talking about your primal shards pull also this was Bronkos idea just used my account
Firstly. Shoutout to Blazin for taking out his wallet in the name of science spending $300+ to get the rare champ for this test that may not have worked. Go sub him just for that act alone. Not only is it working as intended. Paylarium also said the reason why the Trunda team, Trunda + 2x Yumiko is hard to get. Acelin is also very, very hard to get. The unity champs are not in the regular summoning pool, unlike the aforementioned champs. There is only 2 means of getting him currently, 1 through prism shards the other through the occasional 10x only. On both accounts, W.a.I. and difficulty, they should leave this alone, or also "rebalance" Trunda because she too is W.a.I according to them but is so obviously broken in hydra. They should also "rebalance" Yumiko, because this champ being able to reset herself is also a broken mechanic that no other reset champ can do including mythical champs who are supposedly more powerful than even a void legendry. Why is that, and why should it be changed? Because it's stupid broken that's why, and money ofc! I don't have Acelin to make it clear I'm not wanting this to be kept for my own benefit, mostly Whales and Krakens currently have him and they need no extra hand ups for sure. I simply want consistency and fairness.
I spend 20 a month and it would take me 40 years to get to were some players are, iv never known a game that is so Biased and just caters for Rich krakkens
Hope you’re right but plarium has a track record of nerfing rares that give too much value in Dmg. -Corpulent cadaver -Madman -Steel Bowyer now maybe future ironclad..
Yup, an awful habit of "fixing" rares that behave suspiciously similar to legendary champions. Madman in particular I'm still annoyed about. Pulled him the same day they did the patch.
Honestly, Ironclad always was bit dodgy with his passove.... I jave seen few showcasing vids with him in Plat lol So yeah IMHO they will "FIX" him alright.
_The "Corpulent Cadaver" HP champ, I did some research and found possibly a uncapped replacement..._ _I have this theory that the Knights Revenant Uncommon "Admonitor" HP champ would work in an infinity team,_ _Admonitor's A1 Shield "Damage Inflicted" multiplier [5.6*ATK] vs Corpulent Cadaver's A1 Shield "Additional Damage" multiplier [0.19*HP]_ _...There is no way for me to test this and no one to challenge this theory on recycling Admonitor's A1 Shield Damage !!!_ [[ ADDED NOTE: MY IDEA WAS SHARED WITH BRONKO A COUPLE OF TIMES ]]
Not even kind of close to the same, admonitor gets a shield for the amount of damage his a1 does, corpulent's a1 does more damage based on The amount of shield he has. These are completely different abilities
It won't work Admonitor gains a shield from the damage he do, corpse deal extra damage based on the shield he has thats why corpse could hit for millions be for the nerf.
_Ok maybe I'm not understanding but please explain if Brogni is on the same team..._ _That his A2 increases the value of Shield buffs on all allies by 30% of the "Damage Inflicted,"_ _...Help me understand why Admonitor's A1 Shield also "Damage Inflicted" would not work !?_
_Also Brogni's Passive: Whenever an ally under Shield is attacked reflects 25% of..._ _...Damage Inflicted on the Shield back to the attacker, I'm still trying to understand or maybe something is encoded !?_
That's why you always fuse. Plarium is fucking stupid so there's a chance that the skills description they provide isn't everything. NOBODY would be calling Wixwell trash if we knew at first that his shield increase was exponential.
@@zahanavez3776 you actually do have something to lose. With how frequent fusions are, you might just miss a good fusion. What would've happened if Wixwell's wasn't exponential? And was instead very weak, you wasted resources. Then what happens if Plarium drops a good fusion next? Boom, can't go for it. Stop trying to sound smart when you are not.
I see no reason to nerf this, because the shield setup alone without the nuke is a guaranteed 1 key. This team is OP even with that slot left empty. That being said if they did nerf it, just add a damage cap to Ironclad's passive like 5m or something.
So, funny thought about a potential team with this. For those that have him, what about Androc and Valerie over Aniri/Krisk/Mikage? You'd get 3 faction bonus for Acelin, so that his A3 applies a shield that won't be removed (open with and never use again), and both Androc and Valerie have a buff extender on a 3 turn cd. Only real issues I can think of is Androc passive that gives him turn meter on crits, and his A2, which is also his buff extender, applies a heal that could potentially eat Ironclad's passive cd. Which both of these would require some tuning. The idea is pretty much just if seeing one funny number is fun, what if you see more than one funny number?
"Ironclad doesn't make money, this will be taken away in the coming days. Rares aren't allowed to do this stuff. Only legendaries like Trunda and Yumeko are allowed to do stupid ass, broken shit." -Plarium What's funny about this, the heal they all got was MORE than the hit. Acelin did 10B points of healing, over 2B per ally.
As long as it doesn't effect something "competitive" like Hydra Clash, I think it shouldn't be touched. Once it gets to that point though ... it's a lot more annoying because you just don't have a chance to compete with anything else than these type of teams. It was a fun video Ash, thanks for showing us this! :P
"Working as intended" vs unintentional outcomes. Wixwell interactions with other champs resulting in insane clan boss and hydra scores was unlikely to be intentional by Plarium. But when they keep pumping out so many champs with so many different skills you are going to end up with more and more unusual interactions. And with a lot of very clever people playing the game those unusual interactions will result in these kind of outcomes more and more frequently. Makes you wonder about the sustainability of the game.
infinite growing shields has been the core issue for most of these they nerfed emic into the ground so i thought they learned there lesson but then they add wixwell who's better then brogni and everyone can get
I need to see that hydra team!! I noticed there is no emic in your comp. Did you make the shield growth work without him? Would be awesome for those of use without emic!
@ASH-RAID The fix should be applied to Hydra itself, otherwise these teams will keep popping up. You can nerf half the champs in the game just because of Hydea clash. That is the thing needing fixing, especially the scoring system. The easiest way is to hace a soft cap on points, in other words once you pass a certain threshold of damage, the number of points you receive decreases exponentially as damage increases beyond that. That way people can do billions of damage, but they wont get much more in the way of points than someone who does the cap.
Hey Ash, your content is the best (always entertaining). With this team, put DESTROY on IRONCLAD, and when healed the Destroy Max HP still works - which should make the killing even shorter on time. Thanks for providing great content and giving to so many great charities. Just thought that WUJI could do great with CRUELTY and DESTROY when hit under SHINOBI ARTS. PS-This game lives in my head. I'm pretty sure everyone else would say the same.
I think it's working as intended for sure. My only thing when people talk about balancing the game, I think that is more for the PVP (Hydra Clash) specifically aspect. With compositions like this, it makes competing against these people almost impossible. And while I understand that the composition takes certain setups and champions, and you could argue that it's already diffcult to compete against people able to have those champions to begin with, I would also see it as completely fair if Plarium came in and capped the damage instead of making the "nerfed" champion almost useless otherwise. So, for this I would say they could cap the damage of Ironclad but only think it's fair if the cap they use still allows people to One key the content. Because if that just happens to be the method you discovered to finally one key certain content, I don't agree if they took that away.
When you create a lot of champions, then add new champions with new skill sets and new ways to influence the game, it's going to be hard to control how people utilize the champions. You will forget ways old champions were crafted. You will not understand how those skills interact with the new ones. Now, add in a dedicated player base that meticulously studies champ skill sets for an edge in the game. And note, this also includes artifacts that bring new improvements to champions. I think they should just let this slide, but thats not to say they will. In the future, when designing new champs, all skills should have a hard cap. And if not--they should just live with the results.
I say working as intended but they just didn’t see this coming. The moment you mentioned the heal from shield crush I immediately realized what rare was coming and how this was going to work. I don’t see a nerf coming just because it’s so hard to get that banner lord.
2 years playing and I still do not have Godseeker or inquisitor, but I have 2 void legenaries from that faction. A real shame 🫠. Amazing video as always Ash.
I've been following Blazin since he got to be a Raid content creator, really cool dude. Helped me with my Champion setups which has progressed my account loads.
wow...Those are some big stats! Question about Hydra Clan Boss....if you manage to chop off one of the heads, is it better to keep attacking the decapitated head or move on to another head? Maybe we should have an updated Hydra video on the mechanics. :) Thanks Ash!
See how excited and happy you are.. Exactly why these things shouldn’t be nerfed. Adds enjoyment to the game. We don’t get much of that. Most of the time it feels like a chore
A: Wixwells shield is scaling far to high, but we voted for it and at this point people spent for it. B: Acelin is rare AF and until now was limited to special summon events. (be a bummer to pull acelin in this event knowing that this wont work anymore). C. The rare is working perfectly as intended but, prior to this shields were not growing that high, and a champ like Acelin didn't exist. Acelins skill has a 1000% cap so I would assume the rare is going to get a dmg cap. TLDR, THE RARE IS GETTING NERFED. How much is hard to say. Wixwell is also probably going to see some kind of small nerf as he is going to devalue alot of future survive style champs.
One of the best things in raid is finding this combos and synergies. Everything is working as intended its great dont nerf. If you want things more challenging realese a the clan Boss and make ultra Nightmare hydra and dont allow in dupes and put block revive in one of the heads
Yooooooooo, Ash I was just playing with this dude and thinking I know he can do some damage with his passive it's just I'm a newb and still overwhelmed with everything and boom you show this (credit to the creator's you mentioned). I love the synergy!!! I had to stop the video I got so hype when you showed him as the third component!!! I use him in my campaign team, for the stages I can beat he is always alive at the end
@ASH-RAID I think Plarium should bring back Corpulent, Madman, and any other OP hydra team they have nerfed. This will be a constant battle for them to nerf every new broken team that someone comes up with. With so many champions, so many skills, and new ones coming out constantly, someone will always figure out a new OP strategy. Just allow them all and it gives everyone a chance to build whatever op team they can!
He's probably going to be dam capped. Everything is working as intended, it's just they probably didn't anticipate 9 digits worth of healing when Ironclad came out. No reason to nerf anything, it's all going like it should, just with some unintended results.
Is it just me or is Wixwells shield growth not only calculated based on the total number of different buffs on each champ but also on the total turn/stack count of each buff? I noticed that my (much) slower champs get a MUCH bigger shield pretty fast then my faster champs because the slower champs rapidly gain buff duration stacks while the fast ones only grow slowly and/or stay at around 3-4 turns per buff.
The only broken ability in this team is the shield grow by Wixwell, which leads to excessive behavior of more champions skills based on shield size. Thus the "correct" solution is to change Wixwell behavior, but Plarium do not want to nerf the legendaries, thus need to nerf others, which will never end due keeping the broken abilities in the game.
they won't nerf it, they'll just make ironclad unrollable for the foreseeable future, until people have forgotten about this video, then they'll silent nerf. And because it's such a niche build, only about 100 people will be pissed off.
The CB team is quite unecessary, because outside of records, over 70 mil damage doesn't bring anything to the table. On hydra on the other side, it will break even more the hydra clash. They will nerf ironclad and also put a cap on Acelyn's healing. It`s not a bug, it`s working as intended. So did Corpulent Cadaver.
It's not a bug. The ability is working as intended. Then they introduced more champs that broke the ability. It'll be "rebalanced". Cadaver worked as intended until a rare topped hydra clash
Not a bug, but Plarium clearly doesn't understand the exponential scaling capacity of multiplicative growth. Wixwell is gonna get hit hard or shield capped.
It's absolutely working as intended, corpulent cadaver was actually also working as intended Plarium only used that excuse to cover their poor planning.
i am trying 2 demythas, lots of buffs for wix to work with, with acelin, wixwell and ironclad. I was using ironclad with marichka when i first picked him up. im bout to clicky the button on UNM will let ya know what happens
I think Plarium should keep some of the fun in the game This is crazy damage! Or they could at least have a hall of fame for champions who were this broken post nerf.
Not a bug and the mechanics are working as intended but I doubt that is the intended result so I assume damage will be capped. Possibly could be considered an exploit but certainly not a bug. They should cap it still at a ridiculously high number in m opinion because of all that is required.
This is the same as Emic, one champion was nerfed in test server, wixwell instead was released as designed with a huge shiled grow, enabling all this big damage based on shield mechanic. Think the damage old corpulent cadaver could do with this shield grow!
ive bin playing raid off and on for around a year too 2 years i lost my first account so i had to start over. now i find myself towards the end of the early maybe coming into the mid game i went for but missed the fusion due to some seriously poor luck in the events. now all i see are vids about how everyone is using the new champ to land multi million hp hits. for all those players that are doing cheeses like this plarium has stated before they don't want to nerf the champions. meaning the answer they have to fix and account for situations like this is to change the rooms/bosses/events that these hits are being done in. that will in turn make it harder for players to progress through the early to mid game which for a FTP like myself is already a multi year grind the journey is fun but almost not worth as is. next time yall want to create another team to do 1.7 billion damage or more on demon lord clan boss turn 130 remember you may be killing the game we all love in doing soo ive seen this chain of events play out before im certain if stuff like this keeps happening it will happen again
No one has mentioned the 1 turn cooldown on Ironclads passive they just show the big hit. Either all the CC's are getting lucky when they decide to do the smack or not telling us the full setup. Love your Vids though Ash and this comment was not a shot at you as you're not the only one who hasn't mentioned it. I've been experimenting with this team both on CB and Hydra and noticed the cooldown after a run. Was using Demytha and also have used Aniri both times the passive didn't proc so the damage didn't happen.
That’s hilarious! I look forward to seeing what excuse is used for another rare being nerfed, because I really don’t see how anyone could argue that isn’t how Ironclad’s ability is supposed to work.
Ironclad nerf incoming. And I was working on building him out with another strat in mind. I really hope this doesn't change a lot. I burned a feast on the dude...
They can cap ironclad dmg if they want, but if they nerf Wixweel, I will stop playing. Full stop. That would be a huge slap in the face after it being not only a fusion, but the only 1 we've ever gotten to design ourselves. Absolutely unacceptable.
Corpulent worked exactly as intended and it was still nerfed, so garunteed next patch this is "fixed" to have a cap as well if I was a betting man I'd bet it'll cap to the same degree corpulent did.
It is working as intended but I don't think they meant to create this monster. Therefore I think this will eventually get nerfed. When there are so many champions with unique abilities, it is hard to keep track of how each combination. Enjoy it while you have it.
THEM GUYZ, thats crazy!!!!!!!!!!!!! Id love to build that but itll get nerfed..cant have rares or epics doin that. its awesome they figurin out these guys skills, but plarium goes in overdrive nerfin then tryin to sell them trunda shards. thanks blaze, bronko, and most importantly you Ash!!!!!! another awesome vid..
I have been hearing more about nerfs more then ever this year. Seems like so many content creators are showing these OP Teams even broken causing the Devs to look at the champions and decide to nerf them. But with that said most of the creators are using these teams until they no longer work, and do not care because they have the best of the best champions because of the money spent and then want to try and tell a free to play this is what you should do if you are lucky enough to have pulled these champions and sorry they nerfed the only champion you had that even gave you a slight chance to contend with the pay to win players. Just seems like a double edged sword that only works for the whales that can buy the sword. sorry that this comment comes off like a rant but don't we free to play deserve to have a moment of feeling like a beast in the game as well. By the way you are by far the one I enjoy watching the most because you make content that is fun and laid back. Not a know it all that tries to shove your views done others throats.
I'm gonna be so upset when they nerf wixwell, but unfortunately I paid $50 to secure him so you can expect a nerf coming for him in the near future. If it's in game leave it as is imo i don't think nerfs are the move buffs are if anything, the game is all about FINDING that right synchronization for a team and it seems the right synchronization was found. If anything they should pay more attention to the way they word things in the future, there is another legendary which does a similar thing removing the shields and doing damage but their damage is capped to 10x their defense
I worked so hard to get wix, and now i dont even want to invest in him because i know the nerf bat is coming. What a waste of resources. This is literally working as intended, but as a mostly ftp outside gems and raid card, its really frustrating to see a lot of resources go down the drain into a champion that will inevitably be capped or nerfed.
Ash I need some serious help in understanding something. I left raid for about 5 months came back worth a new account. Cursed city was introduced while I was gone. I don't understand the requirements for some stages. I select units that are available but still can't run it. Can you either do a guide on how these work or point me in the right direction?
not the point of the video but to answer your question Thea was the 1st hex champion but I can't remember if she was obtainable before Ruel since we couldn't obtain her until the 3rd doom tower rotation. i believe if you did every secret room she beat the Ruel fusion.
Not a bug. It is working as intended...but not as foreseen. That is the issue. They did not foresee what is taking place. Makes you wonder how much play-testing they do before they release champions. Also makes you wonder how sometimes the most fun their players have is when they mess up. They seem to spend more time trying to manipulate us into spending and not into making the game fun.
I can't figure out if this dude is a hacker a rich mofo or just had wayyy too much time on his hands. And the more these things are broadcast on channels the more likely they will be nerfed
Personally I don't mind massive clan boss damage as it doesn't affect me its pure pve and doesnt hurt anyone. When it's broken in hydra then it's an issue as hydra clash is pvp .
Ash, corpulent cadaver was working as originally intended when the crying demanding it be nerfed happened - you aren't going to win the semantics game as they changed it because the intent was not to allow that to happen. So, they can easily say this is not what was intended and you all may have just messed us up in doom tower. Furthermore, they used the phrase that a rare was bullying hydra
@ASH-RAID try the same strategy but then use Acelin skill where the damage is based on the sum of all shied. if my theory is correct, that would be the biggest hit ever xD
Why not also add in brogni for more zaniness? If the 3 champions, aka your Legos, your void epic, and your rare, you are putting a lot of eggs in your combo. Working as intrnded
Nonsense! Cadaver was working as intended…at the time he was introduced to the game. It was Brogni who made Cadaver OP. If it wasn’t for Brogni, Cadaver would have never been touched and would have kept being food for the majority of the players. Now, I wouldn’t spend a second in Cadaver. Of course they’ll nerf the rare. Can’t have us low to non spenders, or at least the vast majority of us, putting up big numbers like that.
I invested 1 years to make a Brogni-Cadaver team. Just when I put all the pieces of the puzzle together, the nerf followed. Terrible feeling, I will not fall for it this time, nor invest money to get those champions. Skills may be limited in PvP, but in PvE it is terrible decision,pure fraud.
Of course Plarium will nerf Ironclad into the ground. They shouldn't, it's working exactly as intended. And even though my CB team only hits for 100 mill per key, it's full auto, who wants to wait around for 30 mins to run this comp each time? But the real reason it'll get nerfed is because it also works in hydra. But it's a very fun comp and I may run it one time for some good fun if it's not already nerfed by then. I just need a copy of Ironclad, I must have fed every copy I had previously.
They are definitely going to say it's a "bug". Mostly cause it's actually so much more simpler to build then the Corpulent one was. Plus, it's so much easier to build up that "God" like damage. I'm sure the whales are going to use the combo to death first and once low spending or F2P are able to build it. That's when they are going to nerf it.
It's working as intended , Plaurm said it 😮 this is so totally broken hahaha that BROBKO!!!!! Is amazing CC very smart how this game mechanics work AWESOME job Ash live what you stand for and do for oue Raid community
There not going to fix it at the moment. There going to let the whaler, whale and go after Acelin then in a month they will change the rare. Its working as it should but yet again Plarium doesnt think about what combos that can be made when adding a new champ.
Its not a bug obviously, but its gonna be nerfed anyway, if you remember they said they dont want that kind of damage coming from a rare with corpulent so he s gonna get nerfed for sure
Ironclad is one of the fun meme champs that I've wanted to build but never really got around to... and my concern is that the passive that made him fun is now going to get nerfed because of this.
I hope if it does get capped, it gets capped in a still impressive way. I can see why maybe we shouldn't allow 1b damage hits. But let em smack like a truck for all that setup and hard work.

My first successful fusion. I was a little worried because everyone was calling him trash. Thank God I kept going for him.
That's why you always fuse. Plarium is fucking stupid so there's a chance that the skills description they provide isn't everything. NOBODY would be calling Wixwell trash if we knew at first that his shield increase was exponential.
Never listen to people, if a champion is unique ALWAYS go for him, you have nothing to lose to do the fusion, but something to lose if you don't
@@zahanavez3776 you actually do have something to lose. With how frequent fusions are, you might just miss a good fusion.
What would've happened if Wixwell's wasn't exponential? And was instead very weak, you wasted resources. Then what happens if Plarium drops a good fusion next? Boom, can't go for it. Stop trying to sound smart when you are not.
@@pleasedont7439 if you are mid-late game and play daily there is no way you are missing a fusion, they are just boring to do
@@pleasedont7439what if what if what if.. fact is that wixwell is decent.. sounds like your just bitter 😂
I see no reason to nerf this, because the shield setup alone without the nuke is a guaranteed 1 key. This team is OP even with that slot left empty.
That being said if they did nerf it, just add a damage cap to Ironclad's passive like 5m or something.
So, funny thought about a potential team with this. For those that have him, what about Androc and Valerie over Aniri/Krisk/Mikage? You'd get 3 faction bonus for Acelin, so that his A3 applies a shield that won't be removed (open with and never use again), and both Androc and Valerie have a buff extender on a 3 turn cd. Only real issues I can think of is Androc passive that gives him turn meter on crits, and his A2, which is also his buff extender, applies a heal that could potentially eat Ironclad's passive cd. Which both of these would require some tuning. The idea is pretty much just if seeing one funny number is fun, what if you see more than one funny number?
"Ironclad doesn't make money, this will be taken away in the coming days. Rares aren't allowed to do this stuff. Only legendaries like Trunda and Yumeko are allowed to do stupid ass, broken shit."
-Plarium
What's funny about this, the heal they all got was MORE than the hit. Acelin did 10B points of healing, over 2B per ally.
As long as it doesn't effect something "competitive" like Hydra Clash, I think it shouldn't be touched. Once it gets to that point though ... it's a lot more annoying because you just don't have a chance to compete with anything else than these type of teams. It was a fun video Ash, thanks for showing us this! :P
"Working as intended" vs unintentional outcomes. Wixwell interactions with other champs resulting in insane clan boss and hydra scores was unlikely to be intentional by Plarium. But when they keep pumping out so many champs with so many different skills you are going to end up with more and more unusual interactions. And with a lot of very clever people playing the game those unusual interactions will result in these kind of outcomes more and more frequently. Makes you wonder about the sustainability of the game.
infinite growing shields has been the core issue for most of these they nerfed emic into the ground so i thought they learned there lesson but then they add wixwell who's better then brogni and everyone can get
I need to see that hydra team!! I noticed there is no emic in your comp. Did you make the shield growth work without him? Would be awesome for those of use without emic!
If you don’t have wickwell are there any champs that can do simlar things and shield wise to make it work
I think this would work with Brogs, banner lord is required for sure I think
Woad Painted work similar at a much smaller scale.
Brogni would work
I bet they will nerf this, almost guaranteed imo. Just because it's Plarium.
Can def see it from both sides. As fun as this video was, If it turns into hundreds of billions of hydra damage eventually it may demand a fix :/
@ASH-RAID The fix should be applied to Hydra itself, otherwise these teams will keep popping up. You can nerf half the champs in the game just because of Hydea clash. That is the thing needing fixing, especially the scoring system. The easiest way is to hace a soft cap on points, in other words once you pass a certain threshold of damage, the number of points you receive decreases exponentially as damage increases beyond that. That way people can do billions of damage, but they wont get much more in the way of points than someone who does the cap.
Taras and Marichka, Trunda. Working as intended? Hydra Clash is a whale fest. Players hate this area of the game
Hey Ash, your content is the best (always entertaining). With this team, put DESTROY on IRONCLAD, and when healed the Destroy Max HP still works - which should make the killing even shorter on time.
Thanks for providing great content and giving to so many great charities.
Just thought that WUJI could do great with CRUELTY and DESTROY when hit under SHINOBI ARTS.
PS-This game lives in my head. I'm pretty sure everyone else would say the same.
I think it's working as intended for sure. My only thing when people talk about balancing the game, I think that is more for the PVP (Hydra Clash) specifically aspect. With compositions like this, it makes competing against these people almost impossible. And while I understand that the composition takes certain setups and champions, and you could argue that it's already diffcult to compete against people able to have those champions to begin with, I would also see it as completely fair if Plarium came in and capped the damage instead of making the "nerfed" champion almost useless otherwise. So, for this I would say they could cap the damage of Ironclad but only think it's fair if the cap they use still allows people to One key the content. Because if that just happens to be the method you discovered to finally one key certain content, I don't agree if they took that away.
Lol, stronk coffee first, Ash second. One day I'll brave both simultaneously )
When you create a lot of champions, then add new champions with new skill sets and new ways to influence the game, it's going to be hard to control how people utilize the champions.
You will forget ways old champions were crafted.
You will not understand how those skills interact with the new ones.
Now, add in a dedicated player base that meticulously studies champ skill sets for an edge in the game.
And note, this also includes artifacts that bring new improvements to champions.
I think they should just let this slide, but thats not to say they will.
In the future, when designing new champs, all skills should have a hard cap.
And if not--they should just live with the results.
I say working as intended but they just didn’t see this coming. The moment you mentioned the heal from shield crush I immediately realized what rare was coming and how this was going to work. I don’t see a nerf coming just because it’s so hard to get that banner lord.
2 years playing and I still do not have Godseeker or inquisitor, but I have 2 void legenaries from that faction. A real shame 🫠. Amazing video as always Ash.
Was about 2.5-3 years before I got Aniri..
Almost 5 years;have Siphi/Warlord/LMA/Venus/Raglin/Nek… …dupe Wurlim but still no Aniri ✌️
wow.. i got godseeker in my first month of playing xd (but just one lego (Ailil) in my entire raid career of 1.5 years lol)
I've been following Blazin since he got to be a Raid content creator, really cool dude. Helped me with my Champion setups which has progressed my account loads.
wow...Those are some big stats! Question about Hydra Clan Boss....if you manage to chop off one of the heads, is it better to keep attacking the decapitated head or move on to another head? Maybe we should have an updated Hydra video on the mechanics. :) Thanks Ash!
See how excited and happy you are.. Exactly why these things shouldn’t be nerfed. Adds enjoyment to the game. We don’t get much of that. Most of the time it feels like a chore
Knowing Plarium if it was all leggos they’d leave it but because there is a rare they will target the rare specifically
its working as intended but plarium are still gonna find some stupid justification for them to nerf it anyway
A: Wixwells shield is scaling far to high, but we voted for it and at this point people spent for it.
B: Acelin is rare AF and until now was limited to special summon events. (be a bummer to pull acelin in this event knowing that this wont work anymore).
C. The rare is working perfectly as intended but, prior to this shields were not growing that high, and a champ like Acelin didn't exist. Acelins skill has a 1000% cap so I would assume the rare is going to get a dmg cap.
TLDR, THE RARE IS GETTING NERFED. How much is hard to say. Wixwell is also probably going to see some kind of small nerf as he is going to devalue alot of future survive style champs.
One of the best things in raid is finding this combos and synergies. Everything is working as intended its great dont nerf. If you want things more challenging realese a the clan Boss and make ultra Nightmare hydra and dont allow in dupes and put block revive in one of the heads
Yooooooooo, Ash I was just playing with this dude and thinking I know he can do some damage with his passive it's just I'm a newb and still overwhelmed with everything and boom you show this (credit to the creator's you mentioned). I love the synergy!!! I had to stop the video I got so hype when you showed him as the third component!!! I use him in my campaign team, for the stages I can beat he is always alive at the end
I hope they don't nerf ironclad
@ASH-RAID I think Plarium should bring back Corpulent, Madman, and any other OP hydra team they have nerfed. This will be a constant battle for them to nerf every new broken team that someone comes up with. With so many champions, so many skills, and new ones coming out constantly, someone will always figure out a new OP strategy. Just allow them all and it gives everyone a chance to build whatever op team they can!
He's probably going to be dam capped. Everything is working as intended, it's just they probably didn't anticipate 9 digits worth of healing when Ironclad came out. No reason to nerf anything, it's all going like it should, just with some unintended results.
The moment you said this works in hydra clan boss it gonna be nerft lol
If I recall correctly, he has already had an “adjustment”. He used to proc with every heal then they made it once per turn.
I do believe we are seeing Ash's creativity and him milking for all it's worth! He put the aces in their places-very clever Ash-beautiful!
Is it just me or is Wixwells shield growth not only calculated based on the total number of different buffs on each champ but also on the total turn/stack count of each buff?
I noticed that my (much) slower champs get a MUCH bigger shield pretty fast then my faster champs because the slower champs rapidly gain buff duration stacks while the fast ones only grow slowly and/or stay at around 3-4 turns per buff.
The only broken ability in this team is the shield grow by Wixwell, which leads to excessive behavior of more champions skills based on shield size. Thus the "correct" solution is to change Wixwell behavior, but Plarium do not want to nerf the legendaries, thus need to nerf others, which will never end due keeping the broken abilities in the game.
they won't nerf it, they'll just make ironclad unrollable for the foreseeable future, until people have forgotten about this video, then they'll silent nerf. And because it's such a niche build, only about 100 people will be pissed off.
The CB team is quite unecessary, because outside of records, over 70 mil damage doesn't bring anything to the table. On hydra on the other side, it will break even more the hydra clash. They will nerf ironclad and also put a cap on Acelyn's healing. It`s not a bug, it`s working as intended. So did Corpulent Cadaver.
@Ash, Saph checked it last night and it is not a bug per se, but bad programming on Plarium's part.
It's not a bug. The ability is working as intended. Then they introduced more champs that broke the ability. It'll be "rebalanced".
Cadaver worked as intended until a rare topped hydra clash
Nice. Any way to do this without Acelin or Krisk, probably the two champs in this team not all people have?
Aniri and Ironclad were the only 2 I have 🤣
Not a bug, but Plarium clearly doesn't understand the exponential scaling capacity of multiplicative growth. Wixwell is gonna get hit hard or shield capped.
Hope payrium doesn't nerf this rare since it would be perfect if you got the right team
They have to nerf it, in their own words, "rares weren't meant to do this kind of damage" So this won't last long.
It's absolutely working as intended, corpulent cadaver was actually also working as intended Plarium only used that excuse to cover their poor planning.
i am trying 2 demythas, lots of buffs for wix to work with, with acelin, wixwell and ironclad. I was using ironclad with marichka when i first picked him up. im bout to clicky the button on UNM will let ya know what happens
I think Plarium should keep some of the fun in the game This is crazy damage!
Or they could at least have a hall of fame for champions who were this broken post nerf.
Or a sort of sand bag, where we can test out damage.
Not a bug and the mechanics are working as intended but I doubt that is the intended result so I assume damage will be capped. Possibly could be considered an exploit but certainly not a bug. They should cap it still at a ridiculously high number in m opinion because of all that is required.
You don't need to runt more than like turn 65 , after that the shields won't increase. or at least the heal doesn't increase from Acelin's part.
Cadaver was extremely hard to build as well. Cadaver wasn't broken or bugged. It's only when used against hydra it became a problem
So I don't have Wixwell, could Brogni do close to the same or is it totally dependent on Wixwell?
This is the same as Emic, one champion was nerfed in test server, wixwell instead was released as designed with a huge shiled grow, enabling all this big damage based on shield mechanic.
Think the damage old corpulent cadaver could do with this shield grow!
ive bin playing raid off and on for around a year too 2 years i lost my first account so i had to start over. now i find myself towards the end of the early maybe coming into the mid game i went for but missed the fusion due to some seriously poor luck in the events. now all i see are vids about how everyone is using the new champ to land multi million hp hits.
for all those players that are doing cheeses like this plarium has stated before they don't want to nerf the champions.
meaning the answer they have to fix and account for situations like this is to change the rooms/bosses/events that these hits are being done in.
that will in turn make it harder for players to progress through the early to mid game which for a FTP like myself is already a multi year grind the journey is fun but almost not worth as is.
next time yall want to create another team to do 1.7 billion damage or more on demon lord clan boss turn 130 remember you may be killing the game we all love in doing soo
ive seen this chain of events play out before im certain if stuff like this keeps happening it will happen again
No one has mentioned the 1 turn cooldown on Ironclads passive they just show the big hit. Either all the CC's are getting lucky when they decide to do the smack or not telling us the full setup.
Love your Vids though Ash and this comment was not a shot at you as you're not the only one who hasn't mentioned it. I've been experimenting with this team both on CB and Hydra and noticed the cooldown after a run. Was using Demytha and also have used Aniri both times the passive didn't proc so the damage didn't happen.
That’s hilarious! I look forward to seeing what excuse is used for another rare being nerfed, because I really don’t see how anyone could argue that isn’t how Ironclad’s ability is supposed to work.
Ironclad nerf incoming. And I was working on building him out with another strat in mind. I really hope this doesn't change a lot. I burned a feast on the dude...
This game should have champion and gear set synergies that work this way. It's the only way to make rares relevant in the meta.
OMG, That is insane. I cannot imagine Plarium, not doing something about this. Because that it truly Busted!!! Thank for the awesome video Ash.
Haha, yea 100% - it’s just too broken. Thanks for watching!
They can cap ironclad dmg if they want, but if they nerf Wixweel, I will stop playing. Full stop. That would be a huge slap in the face after it being not only a fusion, but the only 1 we've ever gotten to design ourselves. Absolutely unacceptable.
Corpulent worked exactly as intended and it was still nerfed, so garunteed next patch this is "fixed" to have a cap as well if I was a betting man I'd bet it'll cap to the same degree corpulent did.
It is working as intended but I don't think they meant to create this monster. Therefore I think this will eventually get nerfed. When there are so many champions with unique abilities, it is hard to keep track of how each combination. Enjoy it while you have it.
"Unintended" and "rework" are words that immediately come to mind.
What kind of damage does ironclad put out in lesser teams?
THEM GUYZ, thats crazy!!!!!!!!!!!!! Id love to build that but itll get nerfed..cant have rares or epics doin that. its awesome they figurin out these guys skills, but plarium goes in overdrive nerfin then tryin to sell them trunda shards. thanks blaze, bronko, and most importantly you Ash!!!!!! another awesome vid..
Hi Ash! If this was a court, you might have a case here. But it's not. It's Plarium's playgroud. Iron Clad is going to be so nerfed.😅
I don't believe Plarium will do anything to this.A.it takes three different champions.B.this combo happens over a long period of time.
I have been hearing more about nerfs more then ever this year. Seems like so many content creators are showing these OP Teams even broken causing the Devs to look at the champions and decide to nerf them. But with that said most of the creators are using these teams until they no longer work, and do not care because they have the best of the best champions because of the money spent and then want to try and tell a free to play this is what you should do if you are lucky enough to have pulled these champions and sorry they nerfed the only champion you had that even gave you a slight chance to contend with the pay to win players. Just seems like a double edged sword that only works for the whales that can buy the sword. sorry that this comment comes off like a rant but don't we free to play deserve to have a moment of feeling like a beast in the game as well. By the way you are by far the one I enjoy watching the most because you make content that is fun and laid back. Not a know it all that tries to shove your views done others throats.
Bro, Raids gonna nerf that man. They are gonna make him from man beast in right gearing to a little boy.
Well done, I noticed the potential of the battleship but I only started the game two months ago so no legendary, let alone level....
I'm gonna be so upset when they nerf wixwell, but unfortunately I paid $50 to secure him so you can expect a nerf coming for him in the near future. If it's in game leave it as is imo i don't think nerfs are the move buffs are if anything, the game is all about FINDING that right synchronization for a team and it seems the right synchronization was found. If anything they should pay more attention to the way they word things in the future, there is another legendary which does a similar thing removing the shields and doing damage but their damage is capped to 10x their defense
I worked so hard to get wix, and now i dont even want to invest in him because i know the nerf bat is coming. What a waste of resources. This is literally working as intended, but as a mostly ftp outside gems and raid card, its really frustrating to see a lot of resources go down the drain into a champion that will inevitably be capped or nerfed.
Ash I need some serious help in understanding something. I left raid for about 5 months came back worth a new account. Cursed city was introduced while I was gone. I don't understand the requirements for some stages. I select units that are available but still can't run it. Can you either do a guide on how these work or point me in the right direction?
not the point of the video but to answer your question Thea was the 1st hex champion but I can't remember if she was obtainable before Ruel since we couldn't obtain her until the 3rd doom tower rotation. i believe if you did every secret room she beat the Ruel fusion.
Not a bug. It is working as intended...but not as foreseen. That is the issue. They did not foresee what is taking place. Makes you wonder how much play-testing they do before they release champions. Also makes you wonder how sometimes the most fun their players have is when they mess up. They seem to spend more time trying to manipulate us into spending and not into making the game fun.
I can't figure out if this dude is a hacker a rich mofo or just had wayyy too much time on his hands. And the more these things are broadcast on channels the more likely they will be nerfed
Personally I don't mind massive clan boss damage as it doesn't affect me its pure pve and doesnt hurt anyone. When it's broken in hydra then it's an issue as hydra clash is pvp .
Any other champs that heal according to shield value other than Acelin?
Ash, corpulent cadaver was working as originally intended when the crying demanding it be nerfed happened - you aren't going to win the semantics game as they changed it because the intent was not to allow that to happen. So, they can easily say this is not what was intended and you all may have just messed us up in doom tower. Furthermore, they used the phrase that a rare was bullying hydra
@ASH-RAID try the same strategy but then use Acelin skill where the damage is based on the sum of all shied. if my theory is correct, that would be the biggest hit ever xD
Why not also add in brogni for more zaniness?
If the 3 champions, aka your Legos, your void epic, and your rare, you are putting a lot of eggs in your combo. Working as intrnded
Nonsense! Cadaver was working as intended…at the time he was introduced to the game. It was Brogni who made Cadaver OP. If it wasn’t for Brogni, Cadaver would have never been touched and would have kept being food for the majority of the players. Now, I wouldn’t spend a second in Cadaver.
Of course they’ll nerf the rare. Can’t have us low to non spenders, or at least the vast majority of us, putting up big numbers like that.
Can you do the same thing but combine it with Yanica in Hydra?. Make Yanica smack the hydra, then Iron do the same on the decapitated heads?
cool dude.another nerf is coming.from the other hand we cant touch trunda.right plarium
6:43 short answer: they are going to cap it... again!!!
I invested 1 years to make a Brogni-Cadaver team. Just when I put all the pieces of the puzzle together, the nerf followed. Terrible feeling, I will not fall for it this time, nor invest money to get those champions. Skills may be limited in PvP, but in PvE it is terrible decision,pure fraud.
Of course Plarium will nerf Ironclad into the ground. They shouldn't, it's working exactly as intended. And even though my CB team only hits for 100 mill per key, it's full auto, who wants to wait around for 30 mins to run this comp each time? But the real reason it'll get nerfed is because it also works in hydra. But it's a very fun comp and I may run it one time for some good fun if it's not already nerfed by then. I just need a copy of Ironclad, I must have fed every copy I had previously.
2:06 intercept can be stripped. So it doesn't counter amaz, because he strips before sheep.
They are definitely going to say it's a "bug". Mostly cause it's actually so much more simpler to build then the Corpulent one was. Plus, it's so much easier to build up that "God" like damage. I'm sure the whales are going to use the combo to death first and once low spending or F2P are able to build it. That's when they are going to nerf it.
It's working as intended , Plaurm said it 😮 this is so totally broken hahaha that BROBKO!!!!! Is amazing CC very smart how this game mechanics work AWESOME job Ash live what you stand for and do for oue Raid community
The problem we have is that there is NO CAP on the dmg.. they should just put a cap like the max HP champs..
I saw the content earlier today and when you did a guide on him I kept one copy of him now I'm going to build him
There not going to fix it at the moment. There going to let the whaler, whale and go after Acelin then in a month they will change the rare. Its working as it should but yet again Plarium doesnt think about what combos that can be made when adding a new champ.
Its not a bug obviously, but its gonna be nerfed anyway, if you remember they said they dont want that kind of damage coming from a rare with corpulent so he s gonna get nerfed for sure
Clever use of in game mechanics.
Not a bug.
Ironclad is one of the fun meme champs that I've wanted to build but never really got around to... and my concern is that the passive that made him fun is now going to get nerfed because of this.
I hope if it does get capped, it gets capped in a still impressive way. I can see why maybe we shouldn't allow 1b damage hits. But let em smack like a truck for all that setup and hard work.
