They have an event where hippo is in right now.
If history says anything, hippo is next on the nerf chopping block.
Look 
how they snuck in a masked gods portal which Jove was in and right after they nerfed him.
That’s how these dirty sneaky bastages work.
erlang shen shudders…
I’m guessing it will be panther and gazelle who will get nerf before hippo. They also buff CF1 costume bonus in this balance update.
They nerf my Gazelle, I’m gonna nerf my acct. Feed everyone to the Owl and call it a day
You could be right , also possibly Milena 
Remember there’s the magic portal coming up this month and they had such a hard on about nerfing Milena too
and willow & becky are featured - the heroes small giant released as replacements for milena & hippo…
but both are not as strong as the “previous” versions - so what to do ?!
with those aether reset tokens they also found a way to keep peoples mouth shut for all future nerfs now
we destroy hero x cmon take this reset token and stfu
There seems to be an issue where guardian hippos special skill bypasses taunt and attacks all heroes every time. What part of their skill would allow this? It should only attack the hero with taunt.
That is not from a special skill, that is from a buff. Taunt does not cover buff damage
It is similar to Green Knight’s special also, if he is killed and revived, all enemies suffers damage which also disregard taunts.
Yet no one complained about that one
Only issue is you did not read Hippo card with understanding 
Woww thank you 
I searched the forum but couldn’t find it 
New HOTM (Ithar) simply crushes defenses containing Hippo 
Felton?.. seriously?.. 3*
Hey, don’t look down on felton because he’s a 3*. He is one of the few 3*s that could survive diamond with what he has. Steals all the delicious buffs from hippo 
Why not? He is great counter to heroes like Ludwig/Hippo and many others.
With 2LB he is quite tanky and can easily survive in battles against 6k teams. With fast mana he is often charged before enemy fires.
its like bringing a sheet of toilet paper into your f1 car just in case waterdrops lands on you visor.
i have had this discussion numerous times with people sacrifising a full slot in a 5man team just to counter 1 tiny effect… wich you will have problems to time, wich you will have problems to stay alive long enough to experience.
the 3* heroes has 1 spot in top end game and that is when PoG speciafically asks for them.
Oh yes you could on your sunniest day take out a top end raid defense with a handpicked 4* team, but its when statistics comes into play that the coin will drop…
Unless your name is Kalö you will most probably need those 5* to be able to carry a good statistic chance in the endgame.
You’re underestimating how much utility felton really has. It is not a ‘tiny effect’ like you described. If used at the right time, you are placed in a huge advantage over your opponents.
He is rogue, which means he has pure HP/defence path
He also has cover, so he protects your stronger heroes from attacks, absorbing damage at a reduced amount. He can in fact survive diamond effectively, one of the few 3*s that can throw his weight around in diamond. It is not a 4 against 5 fight. He really just needs to fire once and you have the upper hand.
