Challenge the Panzer Hydra!





Hello, everyone! I'm sure by now you're all drunk and having a great time, but hopefully not so drunk that you aren't up for a bit of battling fun.



Over at Yun Enterprises, I've spent years now designing the various steamwork pets. But with each passing year, there are fewer and fewer pets to design, and soon I'll run out of them entirely! I'm not one to sit around idly, and while it's true that there are still some pets to work on, I wanted to give myself a challenge this year. And my challenge can also be your challenge, if you think you're up to it.







So please, give a big, warm welcome to the Panzer Hydra! You can face off against my newest creation in the Battle Coliseum. You'll start off against the single-headed version, and if you defeat it enough times you'll earn yourself an achievement and way to unlock the three-headed version. Defeat that one enough times to unlock the next, and keep doing that all the way up to the final, the toughest, eight-headed Panzer Hydra!



Brass Panzer Hydra Medal
Bronze Panzer Hydra Medal
Silver Panzer Hydra Medal
Gold Panzer Hydra Medal




Have fun!



These challengers will show up in the Event tab! They will no longer be available to battle after Masquerade, so make sure to use your medals while the event is still going on.



Note: We do have a plan to release items that are like the medals (same image, different name) for those that want them for treasure chests etc so no need to keep suggesting it. We’re also looking into doing this for some account bound items like the Meat Slab items. :)

I’m working on finding a way to get these as TC items.
YES PLEASE. ;O;

Ah, the medals are so pretty I don't want to use them to summon the next challenger
SpiritImmortal
Met my match at 7 heads. Still beat that twice though! I'm moving up! (Very slowly >.<)
Seriously thought things would get easy at mid-T11 but nope!
elka
@Amber suggestion: i feel we should get a medal for each pet that succeeds 10 times (just once but per PET) -- because.. TCs ;A; like i know i probably won't be able to beat the 2nd one, but i'd like to try anyways, but if i do that i lose my item?
witchywoman
The second ones stats go up so much each time I can't beat it 10 times ;___; Guess I will have to train more!!
Maskros
@Shadowfax:
It's because the challenger you're fighting do not allow stealing, that's why the Truth Serum is no good in a battle against him ^^
Maskros
Thank you so much for this. I'm not strong enough yet for the last hydra but all of this is so cool. I hope these challengers would return next year (is there even a chance? :D ) I might be able to beat the eight-headed one then.
Kaseydaqueen
I'm in love. :heart_eyes: Getting all the loot!!!!!!!!!!! Throws Mala to battle
HYPEBEAST
Anyone willing to sell their Gold Medal for TC purposes just contact me ^^ Thanks!
Puncture
You Lose :frowning:!

You lost to Panzer Hydra!

TIL NEXT YEAR WHEN IM STRONGER
;-;
Inari
I managed 5 wins against the Five-Head Panzer Hydra with my Kurama. That's as far as I get...
Good luck to everyone else :)
far
hail hydra
ahem
kytten
my t3 can't even breathe on the second version, so no good loot for me, but cool boss.
pax
Managed to get ten wins on a mid-T9 pet against the five-headed panzer hydra, I probably won't have a chance against the seven-headed one with my current battle set l ma o
LOUD
Tied!

You tied with Panzer Hydra!

I only need to more wins!
Hylian
Man the stat jump is a little bit crazy.
Chocolate
This is awesome!
Does anyone have the stats of the Hydra past the 5-headed one? I could slay Mr.5 without difficulty, but don't want to waste my medal if I know I'll have no shot at the next one. (Since I believe there'll be one more between 5 and 8).
ColdDragon
Whhhhhhhhhheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Desolace
Damn, the five-headed one is too much for me sigh
Tessalia
Managed to get to the 5 headed one...but sadly my pet's health is not even above 1000 so we are stuck here... we did our best to defeat it though TT_TT
Theory
Unfortunately, the 5 headed hydra really is too strong for my T6 battlepet. Will they be back next year? I would really like a shot at the items : D
Frozen_Shade
opinion on boss appearance: looks so good, so cute, I want one.
opinion on drops: neat, look at that lil' necksnake, so adorable.

Opinion on boss stats: ... wh aT why does it jump from 25 base to 750? Am I reading these comments right??
25 to seven hundred and fif t y????
Why 0`____0
That's... like... seven kinds of ridiculous. Why does getting two extra heads increase its stats literally thirty-times over?? (And 80x the one-head's base stats in the next iteration, with five heads?)

I wanna get some of those items so much, but... I'm only just slowly working my pets towards tier 5... so I guess we'll just. stop bothering.
nier
good JOB u had ONE JOB u messed up the spoiler code i am apologize bed time for me obvs
nier

anyways managed 5 times on the 5 headed one i dont think i can go any further even tho i want the pretties so much :cry:
Shadowfax
@EagleWing

Yes, still available.
Shadowfax
I am a battle newb, and I am wondering why when I try using a truth serum on this challenger, the weapon I "steal" isn't available for me to use?
Pirate
I cannot say how much I adore the artwork of the Hydra - so shiny ,

The one thing I don't really understand though is: Why do I win a Tier 11 weapon from a chellenger that I at least need a Tier 12 for, if not more? It's always like that it seems.

I guess I'm too old for battling. retires X'D
EagleWing
Will the easy one still available after after unlocking the next one?
Delphi
A tier 6 pet and I can't even beat the third challanger once. I really wanted those hydra scales. :c
Waves
Why does she have a skirt? It doesn't fit at all with the rest of the costume. :/
Kevin

Wuf earned 12000 EXP Points!

Acidtongue
While I love this challenger, got up to 5 defeats on 5 heads so far, but really hoping for steamwork Ghostly ;-; Welp, maybe next year. Still, pretty cool and fun challenger so thank you ! XD
Funkykitsune
I wish we didn't lose the medals by unlocking the next challenger :(
Amber STAFF
@Speiro The battle system is hooked up to the old achievements. THE OLD ACHIEVEMENT SYSTEM. That was fun to figure out ten minutes before we were going to release. :X
Muerte
Alright I think we all maybe need to stop for a minute and admire the art. STOP THE MADNESS AND ADMIRE THE ART, DAMNIT.
Like, first of all, the challenger is so pretty ? How dare you ?
Panzer Hydra Blade

Who doesn't want a unicorn Norse-God looking snake for a sword ?
Panzer Hydra Cake Pops

Literally too precious. They're like snake kittens.
Panzer Hydra Beanbag

While pretty, the description is literally calling me out on my childishness, because I would 100% do that.
Panzer Hydra Scales

I am such a big sucker for sleek, high-necked tops like this... And yes, I am avoiding calling this a turtleneck. Is it a snakeneck ?
Panzer Hydra Gas Canister

"It's @Amber, bitch." is literally the first thing I thought.
Panzer Hydra Broken Brass Tooth

This takes the cake for me, though. I am always here for animal heads as wearables. And this ? Gosh golly, this is stunning.

Basically, any Heathen and Norse related pets are probably dying for ten of each of the loot items right now.
Speiro
@Amber - Thanks for at least considering it. :D

I always forget what a mess some of the site's code is. :x
Edge
@volkner Thanks! I'll skip this one haha.
Rocketlauncher
Interesting there isn't an achievement for beating the very final stage 10 times, but that might be a place to put the trophy medals in :)
Amber STAFF
@Speiro (like seriously it took me an hour to get the achievements to work tonight and I still managed to break the one for like three minutes, they're coded for the old system and it's just A MESS so if we did something else with them it would mean more coding than just having an item unlock because that's easy at least)
Amber STAFF
@Speiro In the future, we can work on it. I learned tonight that the achievement system + battling is literally hell. I’m working on finding a way to get these as TC items (Not the actual medals, but some form). :) At least these aren’t account bound like previous unlocks smalLL STEPS
Speiro
@Amber - The TC issue seems to come up every time there's an achievement prize that unlocks a challenger. Would it be possible to cut out the middle man make it so earning the achievement automatically unlocks the next challenger? We have achievements that reward forum titles and site themes, so it seems like it could be feasible.
Redwolflake15
x.x I need to train my main pet faster but hard Q.Q We're still on tier 2
jensen
@disbounded three heads/second hydra: HP / STR / DEF / SPD all 750
@Edge five heads/third hydra: HP 3000 / STR 2000 / DEF 2000 / SPD 1500 (spikes to 6k HP at ten wins, dunno about the rest but it was a slog to get through)
hopefully those are the ones you wanted to know about?

i used my medal for seven head hydra and i don't actually think i can make five wins BUT I WANT THAT GAS CAN so i'm gonna do my best ; o;
Amber STAFF
@Satyr We might have knock-offs elsewhere later! You guys seem to like the medals WHO KNOWS.
@Muerte These items aren’t account-locked. So people could actually sell the item if they wanted to.

And we haven’t said we won’t do a knock-off etc of it. All I’ve said is these were made this way on purpose. THERE ARE STILL MANY DAYS WHO KNOWS WHAT WILL COME

@Ninja Yes, they are like any other unlocking-challenger item
horizon
@Ninja yea
Lantern
@Speiro
I was thinking of the knife-wielding roomba my self
horizon
@Disbounded all of the 3 headed hydra's stats are 750
Kamil
Given that the heads increase by two each time on the challenger, there is a serious lack of "cut off one head, two more shall take its place" in the flavor text for the medals that unlock the new challenger. I'll assume it's coded in there subliminally. It is Hydra, after all. =D
Ninja
Do we lose our Panzer Hydra Medals if we unlock them?
Valenrhyme
Does anyone know the stats for the 3 headed hydra? I have a tier 2 pet and I don't want to destroy my first medal if I can't even defeat the next boss.
