Hello !

All my HYDRA Agents have a very red square around their attack value on clic #2 and #3, that point to Blade/Claw/Fangs instead of Energy Explosion (the power indicated on the card). I was taught to go with the dial when such things happen, but I wanted to aks anyway : which one is right ? Do they have EE or BCF ?
(I really hope the dial is the correct one, BTW)

I don't have one handy to look at, but I'm fairly certain that it's supposed to be energy explosion. It wouldn't be the first time that orange and red looked iffy on the dials.

QFT. I played Phobos for the first time yesterday and the colors for Blades/Claws/Fangs and Toughness were virtually indistinguishable.
Go with the card.

You're not kidding. The first game I played at a midnight release event, both my opponent and I played him and we thought it was BCF. It wasn't until the 2nd game that I actually looked closely at the card and realized that it might actually be a very red looking orange.

I just popped the dials off of a Hydra Agent and a Crimson Dynamo for comparison under bright lighting. The Hydra Agent's attack power is clearly the same colour as Dynamo's RCE, and not his Toughness. Now, interestingly, the Hydra Agent's starting line is blue instead of green and (though this bit might just be in my imagination) the KOs look more red and less orange than Dynamo's. So maybe whatever part of the printing process adds in the yellow got left out of the Hydra dial.

Well, too bad. I would have love them with BCF. I will go with the card now.
This is something worthy of a PG's entry IMO.

I too noticed this when I was opening my brick, which sucked by the way. None of the rares I wanted, none of the SR's I wanted.

Noted, thanks. (And yes, I just looked at mine...quite red.)

Incredible. I hadn't even looked at the card to see I was playing this little guy wrong. Never even doubted it was blades (I believe I was even speaking of pulling a knife from my belt in my amazing 'Generic Hydra Imbecile' voice when I played last).

But.

Thats how
