I finally leveled my Gold Fujin with 3 Hydras. I took it for a spin, and it was pretty fun. Of course on Carrier, being mobile is essential and oftentimes you end up defending a Beacon (KOTH). The Fujin is kinda squishy, but with 3 Hydras it can't defend itself. Should I trade out one or two of the Hydras for Orks, Tarans or Scourge? I think one Hydra just doesn't create enough ire in the Reds.
What do you think?
One or two Orkan, Taran or Scourge?

I personally don't like the Fujin, and I like the Hydra Fujin even less. I ran one for a while, but ended up going the Spydra and eventually the Chydra route. If you want to be effective in a Hydra build, it's best to pick mobility over defense, especially in something like the Fujin, if a red breaks though the blue lines, you have NO defense and are literally helpless. Being in a Griffin, Falcon, Inky, or any other bot that can mount this weapon and can jump, you have the option of being mobile to chase down targets, have more fun cause it's very challenging, and you have an escape option or ability to throw missiles over cover.

We got smashed by two fujiins running MKII hydras... they just sat in spawn the whole game. I managed to kill one with a spec halfway through the game and then he spawned in another spydra griff.... |

Do you have Scourge' already? The best builds for Fujin are Orkans, Tarans, or running Scourge'. The biggest problem with the spydra Fujin is you can't cap beacons and are otherwise useless other than creating damage and annoyance. Spydra Fujin is truly a one trick pony.

Do you have Scourge' already? I have 2 on my Hover and 2 extras. I was able to get the Beacon in KOTH this afternoon, just had trouble holding it. |

Yeah, Moon is king/brutal for any Hydra build. I was torn apart by a Mk2 Hydra Haechi. It was running solo too and used it's mobility to move around the map. I used to play Moon with my brawling hangar, but lately have been using my large map/TDM hangar because my Chydra is in it. I'm usually very busy looking for ST bots, other Hydra bots, or just bots of opportunity. Heck, I even used my Falcon as bait once. I stayed in default mode with the damage reduction and just tanked the damage while my team mates targeted the reds. The reds were so focused on killing me that they didn't mind getting destroyed. |

Run only 1 of them and go big or go home. So even though it's not the best support platform for hydra (use a Spectre or Griff). I'd keep it all hydra and stay out of trouble. |
