Since the launch of 2.8, JWA got a new unique hybrid which combines common Mono G2, rare Carnotaurus and rare Gorgosaurus DNA, they forms the unique Scorpius Rex G3 (SR3).
Now that the patch 2.9 are out, many players have created and maxed it up to level 30, we start to see it’s like a tumor spreading in everywhere of the battleground, with its relatively high damage, crazy moves set and too many resistance, it is being abused in the PVP and tournament by most players, when it arrives the battle, it can kills one and a half dinos of the opponent team, consider its components are so easy to collect in wild, it is comparatively too overpowered.
It’s suggested that it should be nerfed in 3 ways.
Reduce its damage from 1350 to around 1100, while the critical chance is acceptable.
Nerf “Toxic Quills” to 66% chance to stun lasting 1 turn and DoT 0.2x for 3 turns. Also, add a delay of 1 turn to it.
Change its damage resistance from 50% to 25%, speed decrease resistance from 100% to 75%.
Magna hard counters it and it has many other counters as well. It’s also one of the few creatures that hard counters the ones that are completely reliant on spam swapping.
Scorp is strong but not OP, yeah some match ups are one sided but that’s same for most match ups in this game 3 examples
Thor vs poukan - thor doesn’t stand a chance
Grypo vs dioraja - dioraja doesn’t stand a chance
Erlidom vs quetza - erlidom doesn’t stand a chance.
If you did add delay on toxic quills then it would need a rampage move turn 1 maybe pounce since it does kind of jump in the air to make up for the delay nerf.
Yeah but cunning rampage has a delay.
Pounce doesn’t have a delay.
Feel like if toxic quills got a delay then it would need the 2X to not have a delay.
But overall I don’t think it needs changing.
I don’t think pounce would fit it honestly. The likelyhood that you’ll get to use Toxic Quills twice in one match is extremely unlikely. There are plenty of creatures resistant to either the stunning effects, the bleed, or both that it has enough counters to not be broken.
Pounce was just a random 2X move that I picked what was cunning related I don’t want scorp nerfed at all I need him to counter dio and tryko on my team, can’t rely on my mortem getting that 40% crit
