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. :)

@fable Cache is a funny thing!
FelineDreams
@Amber thank you for the info, nothing has happened as of yet...I will keep waiting
Willow
argh!! ignore that...it just showed up for me :( sorry about that
Willow
ok..so the metal showed up...but the achievement didnt unlock in the achievements section. :(
Amber STAFF
@Nik If you did them after I pushed the change, it might just be cache on the achievement page! Remember it takes a bit to register sometimes (like when you put things in your wardrobe or plushie collection and have to give it a sceond before it realizes)
Marine
It's a bit of a jump to go from 25 all around to 750 all around, imo. I thought I'd be able to use my t4 pet for the second iteration, but... I guess not.
Oh well, Flan needs more EXP anyways. P:

That art's hella rad, though.
FelineDreams
ok so I understand that all the wins we had before the win dont count, but I have done another two and they still arent registering...
Jessica
Never mind, I guess the answer is no :(
Jessica
Will we get to keep the medals after using them to unlock the next challengers?
PetraKore
I'm struggling with the second challenger but I... rlly want the loot...
Pinocchio
O no unlocking the next challenger involves destroying your previous medal :< My victory symbol..
Amber STAFF
I pushed a change at about 1:03am, any battles before that won't count towards the first achievement. Sorry guys!

Luckily he is easy to defeat :x
Digitalis
HAIL HYDRA!

@Amber
typed too long to see your post, never mind me!
Greg
@Baekhyun
YOU KNOW WHAT'S GOOD
foxette
21 times for first level!
Pinocchio
OK i like this medal it is a good prize for my victory, but will it disappear if I use it to unlock the next challenger ._.
Frenchi
@Speiro i thought so too!! it's the knifetacle!!
Ocean_908
@Amber
Like others, I just defeated the first challenger ten times, and didn't receive an achievement or a new challenger. I'm going to bed now and I don't hold it to you if you do too (if you're on subeta time!). Hopefuly it will be fixed in the morning, or the fix you pushed will have taken effect by then :) Will I just need to beat him an 11th time for it to take effect?
Lily
I have to use my shiny new medal to activate a temporary challenger? cry
Inknote
OMG SO PRETTY!?!??!?!
cartel
@Amber
all good! another ten wins was no biggie. thanks for the fix. :D
Willow
I will keep watching but my achievement doesnt seem to be registering. :(
jensen
excited to see how far i get but kinda bummed we can't keep the medals, those are cute o:
THESOVEREIGN
Any wins you got before she fixed it don't count.

I had to get 21 total wins to unlock the achiement since I got 11 before she fixed it.
foxette
Fantastic art! :D How many times? I've done the first one 20 times and still haven't unlocked the second level! :0
Amber STAFF
Becuase the ident was set up wrong, it doesn't start counting until after I did the push. luckily the guy is super easy! @cartel @Yoshi

(I would reset everyone's stuff, but already so many people have beat him after i pushed the change and realized what would happen)
Kevin
@Yoshi @Jessica
it was bugged originally so it's counting the number of wins you got after it was fixed. :)
FelineDreams
ok, I have 13 wins and none of them are showing up for the achievement...
Theory
It's a big, fire breathing, gun shooting, knife slicing snake! I love it :D
Jessica
Have 11 wins, but it says 4/10...
Julie
Unlocked Single-Head Panzer Hydra!
Defeat the single-headed Panzer Hydra 10 times!

Cool an achievement too!
Yoshi
Same as cartel, except I have 12 wins and the achievement only says 1/10
THESOVEREIGN
@Amber its working now
cartel
@Amber
I have 11 wins but the achievement's only showing 1/10 :')
Julie
loot - first challenger
Speiro
It reminds me of the knife-wielding tentacle someone made:



I'm going to assume this is how the hydra actually moves in battle. :P
Maleria
Beautiful opponent !

But something seems not working, beat the first one ten times, no achievement and no "next challenger" ?
Life
thank you for my birthday present you guys, it's so badass
Robin
@Greg
I FUKEN LOVE METAL SLUG I'VE BEEN STRUCK WITH FEELS NOW ♥️
Amber STAFF
@THESOVEREIGN Sorry about that, check again (it might take a few minutes to update on the achievement page)!

(The ident for it was spelled wrong)
Ryuu
Look at this big, stupid armor-snake with gun heads AND knife heads! It's great! :D

But, uh, since it's in the Event tab, is it only hanging around for the Masquerade or will it be there longer than that?
Digitalis
I've been waiting for this ;w; I want the wears. Like yesterday, k?
cartel
also wondering if the achievements aren't working. :x
THESOVEREIGN
I think that achievements aren't triggering for him? @Amber

You have defeated Panzer Hydra 11 times!

Captain Beatd0wn earned 5 EXP Points!
feral
@Amber
Achievement says beat it 10 times, and I did that, but it says 0/10? Bug?
fizz
looks badass!!! :D
StarShadow
Hope this will be around for a while, too busy dancing to fight.
Julie
OMG. This will be so much fun.
Tserel
@Amber I just can't contain my excitement apparently
