When I play 1vs1 against orc, they usually rush to tier 2 , harass with blademaster w/ 2/3 grunts. When they get air, I get 5-6 Hippogryphs and there massive air build is ruined.

That's why they get bats raiders... net gg...

Hippos are alot weaker than they should be... Archers get owned by anything that is a
ground unti..

Honestly nelf has worst AA options than any race imo...

Human has gyros, rifles, and tanks
Orc has bats, raiders and headhunters
Undead have gargs, and fiends

Ne have archers (sorta) dryads, and hippos. Most likely dryads are best bet but they're at least T2. Another possability is dotts. They great against orc in general, but sucks against other races.

make Archers (tier3 upgrades) + Dryads (armor max) ; it's the best aa you can have (you can add druid of the talons with all spell upgrades to make it more powerful)
anyway : Archers tier 3 (max 38 piercing dmg and high armor+Elune's Grace) > Dryads tier 3 (very low dmg, unarmored armor, only slow poison+dispel magic+magic immune)

archers : tank magic attacks very well and can disable heroes very fast
dryads : aims mainly on aa else they are near useless

What nerf? They are worth 20 more exp per kill?

I think it's fair enough considering how powerful a unit they are.

Haha! That must be sarcasm.

Dryads are fast, spell immune, can dispel and have slow poison all for marginally more cost than a footman.

Dryads now give 3x (30 total) more xp than normal.

Also... if you mass dryads, ther other person will just get seige and win. Dryads bears are the most effective combination in general, but against other units they become weak...

Most likely dotts are most effective vs aa for ne... I didn't know they got splash vs aa in crow form.

yes dryads are fast, but think of their counters

NE- hunts or bears for meat shield, add seige
HU- same thing but with morts, which are alot more dangerous. or they just mass tanks.
Orc- Raiders
UD- fiends with unholy aura, meat wagons with abombs.

Listing a units counters means nothing. All units have counters.

They are still an incredibly powerful unit for the price.

Hippogryphs or Druids of the Talon are best AA for NE. Hippos are cheap and you can get them at tier 2. The only bad thing is that battriders can rape them sideways.

they'd actually still do decently since they reduce magic damage by 45% or so if I remember correctly.

You play games where the other person can get to T3 ultimate units?

That is quite a claim. Not even the top professional players can do that (consistently)

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
