If you had such a bad cascade then hippo had nothing to do with your defeat, he merely made it overkill.
Hippo is great in offence but i find little trouble facing him in defence
Please stop asking for nerfs just because you have trouble against a hero
I know hippo owners will never agree with this!! So i stopped convincing them
lol no hippo here broā¦
I have hippo but dont put him on my defence cause theres way better heroes for defence.
Only problem I have is when you put mindless attack on one of hippo allies the buff still work when they Try to cast there special and my team take damage cause they didnāt cast there special that needs to be addressed
They did cast a special. You casted a Mindless Attack special at full mana.
I also donāt have trouble with ghippo but I also tend to use a dispell heroā¦
Lol Becky is more op than the hippoā¦
Becky needs more to charge her āHippoā ability than Hippo, nope she isnāt. And yes, I have Becky, so I know.
Dang. I must be missing something. If Hippo was so OP, shouldnāt I see a massive spike in defensive cup gains when I use Hippo on defense vs when I donāt use Hippo on defense? Cuz Iām not seeing it.
Hippo isnāt the problem. It is the rest of the enemy cards that cause the problem.
Hathor, Grandma Ninja, Anne and Phorcys all 4 need to be nerfed before Hippo as they are the ones that accelerate the kill with Hippo.
Lets get rid of these 4 and then see if Hippo has the same impact. The new cards in beta make Hippo look outdated already.
Then there is Tremor that has 0 counters in the game once it fires.
Becky does what Hippo does at slower speed, Green Knight can kill a whole team when he dies and revives. Yet all of these can be managed by Melendor a S1.
Urrgghh, again with this? Come on, Hippo is not an issue on defence in isolation. So many ways to deal with her especially if you have a buff stealer. I like the Gum method. Kill everyone else on the team and leaving her until last. Completely toothless. There are heroes in every star level & colour who can deal with Hippoās special. I can think of 3 S1 4* heroes who can get the job done without a costume (As long as they survive that long).
Actually, this is pointless. Youāll be complaining about a different hero by the end of the year and most of us wonāt agree with you then either. Just life I guess
Game Well 
Hippo is about as unreliable on defence as any charge hero or reviver, as she canāt do anything by herself. Chances are she will fire at the wrong time and she can be shut down with buff block, buff steal, silence or dispel. There are many other heroes introduced in the last year who alone will end your team if they get to fire.
Iām a strong believer Hippo needs nerf asap! Heās way too strong. On the other hand Iām not looking for nerf that beats hero to the ground the way they did it with Telly and Vela. Just make him not imune to counterattacks/reflects an that should do it.
Ithar and villiersā¦ Hatterā¦ Any variety of dispellers.
I accept nerfs are necessary when there isnāt a counterā¦ There are counters for hippoā¦
I saved hippo as the last hero standing in s recent raidā¦ And hippo couldnāt do jack squat.
Exactly. Itās even more frustrating on offence.
Thereās already a Hippo Balance thread. This should be merged there. @PlayForFun hope you cam merge 
Well, the point is that the problem isnāt in Guardian Hippo. but another hero paired with him like you said. Like Jove. Ceto. Milade n hero hard hitters.
try Hippo paired with Azlar,Horgall,Quintus vanilla. the results will be different. Lol.
thatās the first point.
Second point :
board is RNG. donāt because the board doesnāt support you asking for a nerf on a hero. what if the required boards come out a lot. then you will win. if the board doesnāt come out within a few turns, then you lose.
Third point :
if you canāt face the top defense. then try to play at the middle class alliance level, such as top 300 - 500. then you will rarely meet the defense format of Jove, Ceto and friends.
it will make you happier.
an example like me playing in the top 300 alliance.

Just need to debuff him, take his mana, freeze him/give madness, use taunt, or kill all the other crew. Hippo is definitely a great card but can be beaten. My issue is less Hippo and more the awesome whale crew that usually accompany him.
