Daughter of Typhon

[Coldshard]

This is the LA Pythium's biggest summon.. it takes a whole lot of time to get there and is pretty resource intensive.. with that said, my questions are why is she not a commander and why doesnt she get a head slot given her immortal head?

Oh, and on hydras in general, why do they sometimes fail to heal after battle? Once that happens they are pretty well toast and they are kindof expensive to begin with..

[Kristoffer O]

THere is one form of the hydra that has a missed returnform. If one more hed is lost it should regenerate all after battle. THis is fixed in the upcoming patch IIRC.

[Wick]

The problem only happens if they end the battle in one form so losing another head will fix it. How to lose just one head in a battle is left as an exercise for the readers.

off topic but I can't wait for the next patch, hope there's a new map too http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

I was wondering if I could request Recuperation for her? She has an immortal head, but unfortunately doesn't get one of the better Immortality powers(losing afflictions).

[Sombre]

Don't all of her heads have immortality? They probably should.

Good call there. The shapechanges might cause her to lose afflictions, but I think that's some kind of a bug, so she should have Recuperation as well.

I don't know how shapechanges and affliction loss work, exactly, but I remember Machakan mages might lose afflictions when changing into spiders or back.

Then they would return home as soon as one head was lost unless I'm mistaken.

[Sombre]

I don't think so, since they don't actually die. Could do with a test I guess.

[Kristoffer O]

I thought that they died, like a cat with nine lives.

I haven't looked at the stats on the Daughter of Typhon, but if it always heals at the end of the battle, and has one immortal head, then you'd want the *last* head to be marked with immortality so that if she gets killed all the way she comes back to life.

[Sombre]

That's how it is, but the problem is that it doesn't gain the secondary benefit of healing afflictions. Hence it either needs recuperation or immortality on at least the fully healed shape.

[Corwin]

So if Daughter of Typhon slain while within friendly dominion, she will be reincarnated back in the capital?

[Kristoffer O]

Yep!

[Cor2]

Has anyone noticed that she spawns hydras with a really messed up text box?

[Cor2]

Here is an example:

The hydra even spawned with dragon master! So useful on a non commander http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/rolleyes.gif

[Sombre]

She spawns hydra pretenders. That's awesome.
