Build for Hippo

Hi guys i just got my hippogon and it had a tech 2 talent. I need some suggestions for a good tech 2 hippo build. Some of the skill books that i have now are frenzied attack, poison leaves and soak.

Also if anyone know how many times can i upgrade frenzied attack for the tech 2 talent to still proc after pod?

Re: Build for Hippo

PoD and Tech II work well together. I recommend PoD, Frenzied, Soak and your fav 90 power physical attack skill.

I use Water Bombs as Scythe is pervasive on my server and as a high def monster, the HP healed by Water Bombs counts for more.

Hippogon is quite a tank, when PoD is up, I don't think any monster can 1hit it besides a critical hitting Chimera or a pumped up Adrenaline Rhor.
Finally back on track and ready to help you guys :D!



Have a question? Feel free to ask me!

Re: Build for Hippo

It often dies after you cast PoD but before it gets up because Hippo is really slow. Hippo only really shines if you can get the initiative, which means against a strong Electric monster and a Taunt Pewg or any weather OEL you are pretty much screwed.

Re: Build for Hippo

Give him a fast hard hitting glass cannon type. It'll draw the heat off your the Hippo while you PoD him, and who knows, maybe it'll get a kill. Once PoDed your Hippo with Tech II and Frenzy should 1-2 hit anything and take 2-5 hits to bring down.

Re: Build for Hippo

Here's my Hippogon:
However change fire blast to something that is strong versus other monsters in your server, so if alot of players have pressure vertedeath's get Mind-Bending and if they use Pewgway get Poison Leaves, good luck and enjoy Hippogon. :D

Chimera + Pod + Thunderstorm +5 = dead hippo
