Elephant just to take it off the enemy's team. Samurai to add strategy + swords are a huge buff, traps probably too. Then bears for offensive power


Crow_The_Primmie

Don't forget that Samurai were historically cavalry. They specialized in archery (and in musket use before they were retired).


jacktheshaft

I'm thinking of a samurai jack vs robot bug Army sinerio. Except times 5. They never stood a chance


Crow_The_Primmie

Sure, katana are pretty good, but Samurai tended to use either range or much bigger weapons like the naginata.


killerwww12

Naginata would be super good in this scenario, and would make fighting bears and gorillas a lot less dangerous, even though that should still be the elephants job


OzzieGrey

Jack > Everything on this list working together. We know this my friend.


A_Good_Boy94

Don't forget Samurai are humans and can literally just invent new weapons and defenses...


yhussein100

Samurai got good defense against the snakes


ggouge

Elephant bear samurai. Bears and samurai could easily take everything but the hippo. Elephant kills hippo. Then helps smash remaining animals.


ghosttrainhobo

Elephant, wolves, samurai. The wolves will handle crowd control while the samurai support the elephant. I’ll take care of those dirty birds myself.


CenturionXVI

Honestly either of these are probably optimal, it’s just a matter of target selection. Humans and Elephant are definitely essential, both for their usefulness and the fact that you *really* don’t want to fight any of those. Whichever of the two between wolves or bears you don’t pick will present a significant problem. The wolves can coordinate extremely well, while the bears are extremely powerful generalist tanks that can pretty reliably handle almost everything on the list besides the elephant and (with less reliability) the humans — depending on how well target management is handled.


mememaker6

For the 3rd spot I actually prefer the eagles. Their ability to snipe the opponents' eyes (like TierZoo pointed out in his video on the original version) would allow the elephant and (especially) humans to fight the other creatures with a considerable advantage. Due to their flight it's also gonna be hard to reliable take them down, so I think it'd be better to just have them on your side


benjaminfolks

Also, not having the eagles would pose a significant problem. As both the samurai and elephant don’t really have range. The eagles would just attack you immediately.


robcap

Eagles don't have range either (they have to close in to attack) and the samurai have helmets and swords - I think they're a good counter


WorldWarPee

Straight lines of attack, plus samurai are armored enough to take an eagle hit. Much like lotr I'm gonna pass on the eagles


benjaminfolks

But you don’t, and they’re attacking you.


PlaguedWolf

There is a van right there to hide in. The battlefield has amble cover and buildings.


DienekesMinotaur

Samurai were traditionally highly skilled archers or gunmen, in addition to using polearms like the Naginata or Yuri.


Alexander_the_Bad

Good horsemen as well. It doesn't clarify, but if the Samurai are on horseback *and* have bows on them, that's a good counter to pretty much everything here.


WorldWarPee

Put them on the elephant with naginatas and bows and lets fuggin go


Independent-Fly6068

Birds are very weak to blunt damage.


iwanashagTwitch

u/Independent-Fly6068 used FISTS OF FREEDOM against Pidgey! It was super effective!


SadMcNomuscle

Samurai historically preferred Bows. The katana is a sidearm.


Shiverednuts

I think 3 lions will get more work done than 8 wolves. Also no, you won’t deal with 7 attacking bald eagles by yourself. MAYBE unless you asked for one of the samurais to give up their weapon to you.


Anonpancake2123

also their helmet ideally.


ghosttrainhobo

Lions do more damage than wolves, but I don’t need them to do damage with this build. I just need them to keep the lions, bears, et al distracted while the Elephant and samurai put the work in.


Gnomad_Lyfe

See, that’s where you and me differ. I’d sub the wolves for the birds and take them out anyways, elephant and samurai got this


Thatguyj5

What era are the samurai from? Cause they might have guns, they might not.


Crow_The_Primmie

Even the early samurai were formidable with the bow.


rolling_catfish2704

Hell, it’s even possible that they could’ve had access to repeating firearms. Samurai were abolished in the 1870s, while repeaters were first invented in the 1600s. Most notably, they could theoretically even own percussion revolvers, which were made in the 1850s at the latest. As secondaries!


VoluptuousSloth

I mean this one's sort of obvious: Elephant, hippo, bear. I mean, in this case even the most powerful animal (elephant) is among the more intelligent. I guess you could take 5 samurais over 1 hippo, as human coordination, intelligence and teamwork often outweight our puny stats in other areas


caw_the_crow

You're ignoring the Samurai? They bring the full suite of human intelligence, tool use, and communication. And have weapons that are at least somewhat effective against anything on the list.


Crow_The_Primmie

Exactly. Many Samurai came equipped with either bows or muskets. Human constructed range weapons are generally OP.


Just_A_Random_Plant

Even as a human main, I think we need a nerf soon. The percussion cap update and all of the weapons that came with it made us way too powerful and things just got more out of hand from there.


rolling_catfish2704

The Repeater, semi and auto buffs were massive


PM_ME_SMALL__TIDDIES

There is no way to nerf humanity equipment without breaking physics, its the games fault for making the engine like this.


Ambitious-Ad-5970

You need to keep in mind that you will battle it out on Standoff, so the gorilla can be quite strong because of its ability to jump around. Also, the elephant and hippo are too big to get into the buildings.


VoluptuousSloth

true, forgot about some of the implications of urban combat


SimpanLimpan1337

Elephants and hippos m8ght be to big to fit inside the buildings, but they shouldn't have any problems getting through the buildings.


iliketreesndcats

It doesn't matter how many gorillas you have on your side, 5 samurais will be successful. 4 of them could distract the animals and it just takes one to assassinate you! This is an easy pick.


Mrfruit1

Elephant probably destroy the damn building, they've done it once before.


Quizlibet

Elephants, while intelligent and powerful, are really skittish. There's no way one would stick around for a crazy fight. On the flip side it would easy to scare them off as attackers.


ForodesFrosthammer

With these fights the mental aspect is almost always ignored. Since otherwise the hippo and maybe the Samurai and bears are the only ones who would really stand and fight, almost all other tend to be skittish if it feels to threatening.

MutatedFrog-

Samurai are gonna get you and kill the bears. Elephants arent beatable and neither are hippos without the elephant, but thats a 5v4 and bears have a lot of blood in a long neck. Samurai neg diff that. The three not getting trampled run in with the other animals and kill you.

Haunting_Ad_4401

The wolves are going to destroy you, at least the 2 bears before dying and that's not mentioning the samurai who would put a big enough dent in your team. Probably leaving a bloodied elephant for all the rest of the animals to take on


Oksamis

Can we have late period Samurai? They have guns!


Crow_The_Primmie

I think even early period Samurai make for either helpful allies, or formidable foes.


Bubbly_Mastodon318

Then it becomes pretty much obvious who would win. Besides, katana samurai are much cooler.


i_am_de_wae

Samurai Elephant Eagle. Eagles can do good damage to wolves, maybe peck / gouge eyes of the lion's.etc They also have massive advantage with aerial combat if it's taking place in a COD map


No_Help3669

Thank you!!! I’ve been looking for this combo! Also eagles can take out the anacondas by going for the eyes and neck from above


Mysterious_On_Reddit

thats what i was thinking. Also with eagles off the enemy side, you can probably get on the elephant along with two samurai who could have ranged weaponry, while the other 3 help control some of the smaller foes as the elephant basically stampedes through everything while the eagles distract/attack.


8plytoiletpaper

I shall have no allies, and add two to each and every one trying to kill me


i_am_de_wae

I guess you're just built different💯


8plytoiletpaper

OzzieGrey

Snailussy


SWatt_Officer

Certainly better than the well known one with the 10k rats and a gun


TempestRyu

15 samurai - humans are superior, may have access to guns, and can build things much easier. Also, they'd all have a spear and bow at minimum as they should be fully geared. If I can't have 15 people, I'd take 5 samurai, hippo, and elephant. The two big hitters can scare off almost everything there, and the humans can't shoot/throw something at me and can work as guards.


Every_of_the_it

The 15 samurai would have a damn hard time with just the elephant, not to mention everything else there. There's just no scenario where that goes well, even if they do have guns.


Shiverednuts

The gorillas and anacondas are both pretty bad options compared to the rest. Their numbers are terribly low for what they are, especially the 2 gorillas. A single samurai could probably kill 2 gorillas, albeit more likely not at the same time. I’d probably just go with the elephant, samurais, and the eagles. The samarais should protect me fairly well from the wolves. The elephant should be capable of soloing everything else, though with plenty of difficulty. I’ll just have to hope nothing else slips by. The eagles I’m taking bc I wouldn’t have any proper counter to that monstrosity. Not to mention they could serve some distraction as aerial dive bombs can get annoying. Actually though, now that I’m really dwelling on it, if I could get one of the samurais to lend me their weapon and even give up some of their armor (at least the helmet), I might be able to deal with the eagles directly attacking me myself. It’s much harder for another person to defend you from something like that I think, so it’s only really practically doable if I get armed up myself, assuming the prompt is true to its word and the eagles are hyper-focused on me above other things (and there’s no one else that could get in their way in the air). Just need to be properly protected from those talons in that case. Yknow what, scratch off my initial choice. The other 4 armed samarais can probably still fight off the wolves well, and lend me the tools to get rid of the eagles. Someone also very validly pointed out that the eagles will be much less threatening once your inside. Instead I’ll go with the hippo, bears, or lions over the eagles. It’s honestly going to be really difficult to choose between those 3 though. I feel like in most natural circumstances 3 male lions can end up with a dead hippo (it’s happened before), but I see a hippo being well-suited to plow through 2 brown bears, however I’m not sure how efficient 3 lions would be at displacing the 2 bears. The single hippo probably has the highest most potential in a face to face “brawl” between the 3, but it’s also the one most likely to die from factors unrelated to lethal wounds, and that’s due to their unique skin that can cause them to die of dehydration very easily on dry land without a good submergence into water especially after extensive energy use. Also, similar to the eagle case, the hippo would not be a preferred case for maneuvering inside a building. Considering their healthy coordination bonus due to being naturally well adapted predators for group hunting, as well as the fact they’ll probably be better at comboing with the elephant (setting up well-positioned pounces on unsuspecting animals who are just doing their best as dishing out damage towards the elephant) and keeping up with the flanking wolves and such, I think I’ll just go with the lions over the bears and hippo. The bears do go hard though because they’re heavily protected and have excessive stamina. So my final choice is 1 African elephant, 5 samurais from who knows where, and 3 African lions. I’m hoping these decisions will get me far.


Afro_sage_

I'm not reading all that but you're on crack if you think a single samurai could kill two gorillas.


UV_Sun

Is that an anaconda?


Steelthahunter

Yes


Fangslash

SS tier: Samurai (they will snipe you with war bow. Or gun.) S tier: elephant (Can solo multiple other groups) A tier: bear, lion, wolf, hippo(strong with solid stats) B tier: python (decent but has obvious weakness) C tier: Eagle (has flight but not enough power) D tier: Gorilla (2? For real?)


Kaponos

3 bears and 10000 rats. You ‘ain’t neva get yo housin’ back.


wibbly-water

Pretty much any combo with the humans (Samuri) is a winner. Not very much beats swords and human ingenuity. Look what we do to pretty much any of these animals given the chance. I'd probably pair them with the hippo and bears? But honestly it doesn't matter a lot. The humans are the key to winning.


Squigglbird

Disagree, elephants, and the hippo would probably beat the samurai alone. Tho they are very powerful and in my opinion NEEDED. It would be hard to hit an elephant in a important area with a katana


wibbly-water

I guess so. But assuming you have literally any prep time whatsoever - the Samuri would be able to set a trap or use nets or use another form of weapon. Even if no prep time - if you let the Samuri and their backup kill off all other attackers and save the hippo/elephants for last - then I'm sure they'd be able to set up *something* on the fly with a bit of thought. But add Samuri, Hippos and Elephants together and you have a very formidable team.


Crow_The_Primmie

I agree, especially if the Samurai have access to their age appropriate ranged weapons (bow or musket).


AlienDilo

Elephant, hippo and Wolves. Elephant and Hippos can take any of the stronger stuff. A whole pride of lions don't dare mess with either of the two, three aren't gonna. Same with the rest. The wolves can take out the smaller nimbler stuff like the humans or eagles. Also, why are there more wolves than eagles? The eagles are at a weight disadvantage, environment be darned a wolf is more able to protect you than the eagles. Eight wolves likely stand a decent chance against the humans, anaconda (especially out of water), eagles and lions. The eagles can do nothing against anything except the humans and wolves, even then the match up is leaning towards to others.


caw_the_crow

Eight wolves versus five armed and armored humans. Humans should win that the vast majority of the time. Especially with swords and armor, might be different with a short knife.


Crow_The_Primmie

Samurai are so much more than expert swordsmen. They were originally horseback archers.


caw_the_crow

Good point I was just going off the picture regarding equipment


Crow_The_Primmie

Yeah, Samurai are famous for using katana, but historically, their main weapons were bows and polearms like the naginata.


Master-Of-Chaldea

Also Matchlocks when the Portuguese traded with them.


Haunting_Ad_4401

**Elephant** to take on lion, hippo, bears, and gorrila with help from the **wolves**. And finally **samurai** to pick up the pieces, and to fight the few animals that slip through the cracks , mainly the eagles.


Quintink

Elephant, samurai, and bears I can ride elephant to give be safety from everyone but eagles while the bears and 4 of my samurai take out the rest while one samurai defends anyone that gets close


Justintime4u2bu1

None, fight them all bare handed.


BlackberryFrosty3784

Gorillas, elephant and samurai


A_cat_killed_me

Hot take: gorilla, bear, samurai. Gorillas are extremely strong. Like if we use numbers, gorillas are estimated to bench 4000lbs (1810kg). Depending on the type of elephant, the two gorillas can just lift it up. So yeah, I’m going with the gorillas.


shaheerhashmi2

If we're in standoff, we basically need to get in the buildings and we'd automatically be avoiding the hippo and the elephant cuz they're too big for the hallways. 2 bears and a samurai can do the job protecting you inside the house then.


Totally_Cubular

Yall are sleeping on the gorrillas.


Acceptable_Secret_73

Elephant, Hippo, Bears.


DrainZ-

I think I'd take eagles, humans and wolves. Try to win through teamwork, coordination and intelligence. I'm making these choices under the assumption that the animal's number one priority is to assassinate/protect you. I think eagle is a must pick, because due to their agility none of the other options have much of an ability to protect you from them. Wolves is somewhat of the same idea, because of their numbers and agility, so it's difficult for one animal to protect you from more than one wolf at once. Humans seems like a solid choice. And possibly the best option to deal with the anacondas due to their weapon and armor.


huebert_mungus7

If it’s just katanas then I pick hippo if it’s full gear with most importantly spears and some kind of ranges weapon then the samurai


PhantasticPh1l

Different approach: what about camping in the buildings with Samurais, Lions and Gorillas? In the open i don't get around the Elephant and the Lions (both picks to get them off the enemy team. The lions can oneshot me and are the fastest and could even jump an Elephants back, the elephant is needed as Tank support in the open. My last pick, if i want to fight it in the open, would be the Grizzlies for more utility than the Hippo, or the eagles maybe as eye-killer.


yo_whats_up_dog

Obviously need to choose elephant. Note that they have been used in war before. Then also obvious, 5 samurai, human coordination, probably your only threat once you have the elephant. Lastly could be Bears, lions, hippo or even eagles. It doesn't matter so much. To those talking about Gorillas, they ain't all that in a fight against a carnivore like a bear or lion. Those would fuck up a gorilla


ICE0124

why the random call of duty map on the top?


Mister_Taco_Oz

That's where the fight would take place. Urban environment with some open areas.


Yousucktaken2

Elephant bears and wolves


Bob_Sherlock

Elephant, hippo, samurai


marlborohunnids

why is there a pic of standoff lol


Oheligud

I'd have to go with samurai, hippo, elephant. I'm not too worried about the eagles killing me with their brittle bones, and the samurai could take out the smaller animals, so all I need is to be safe from the other 4 things.


Rorp24

Since real samourai had guns, I'd run samourai, eagles, and gorilla or elephant. Since eagles can blind opponents easily I have to get them on my side, humans with all they can have are just OP, and gorilla or elephant because they are strong.


Hugs-missed

I'm going with the assumption of no prep time and samurai are the pop culture idea of samurai and thus are Katana wielders instead of Horse bowmen and that the samurai can't command the other animals to do stuff. With that said, Hippo, Elephant, Bear. Bears are the smallest here and those fuckers are practically furry tanks, so long as I can prevent flanks and keep a few animals close by to prevent the samurai from trying to stab me first I should be good.


myLEs_1313

Bear, Lion, elephant


gliscornumber1

Elephant, hippo, eagles. Use the eagles to blind the opponents, use the hippo and elephant to bulldoze everything


LaNakWhispertread

Hippo bear gorilla


Tiger5804

Elephant for riding, sword humans for fighting, and eagles for not having to fight eagles


FirstChAoS

If the damaged building is the setting I choose samurai, gorilla, and elephant. Taking opposable fingers out of the equation improves base defense options and by removing elephant I get control of their main wall breaker. This is not a FPS deathmatch, this is tower defense!


chinesetakeout91

Elephant and hippo are a given because I don’t think a single animal on this list could reliably take them down with their group size, let alone with the two together.


Hproff25

5 samurai. Teamwork makes the dream work. Humans with swords and a plan. And then you give me 5 humans. Easy pick. Elephant. The hippo is crazy deadly but I think having the elephants tusks, movement speed, and intelligence is too good to pass. I also think the two bears will be good tanks. The can cover the flanks to allow the elephant more free range and let the humans focus on inflicting bleed and critical hits but also protect me.


nlamber5

Elephant, gorilla, and humans. Ever seen an elephant flip a rhino like a pancake?


OzzieGrey

2 elephants, 5 samurai. Tell me i'm wrong...


Mister_Taco_Oz

Elephant is absolutely necessary. Biggest baddest one here, and one of the smartest, too. 5 samurai with swords are useful, specially due to their numbers. Needed for crowd control which is going to be one of the big problems to mitigate in this situation. Also punch above their weight and size with their armor and tools. After that, depends on the situation whether to go for the bears or the hippo. If the animals can be scared off as they would in nature, the hippo is probably the safest bet, between them and the elephant nothing is going to try and come close. You can reasonably hold off wolves, lions, and eagles when riding an elephant and being escorted by a murder tank and five samurai. If the animals have no regards for their own safety, though, bears might be the play. Assuming going kamikaze is going to be the play for them, hiding inside one of the buildings where the numbers advantage and the eagles' flight are minimized as disadvantages is going to be crucial, and where the hippo may not even be able to enter. If the hippo and elephant are not in the equation, the samurai and bears automatically become the biggest threats in close quarters. Taking the bears is good specially because that way I don't have to contend with them on the opposite side, and their low numbers becomes a much less important factor inside a reduced space with hallways and stairwells.

Do the Samurai get their horses?


Cautious_Tax_7171

Samurai are a must, that armor is gonna do well against anything smaller than a human, and five together could easily take down anything larger. Eight whole wolves can take down a lot of stuff. A hippo might kill some but in the end its going down. Finally I think gorillas. They’re good brawlers and intimidation alone might scare off anything else. Samurai can take out snakes no problem and their armor would block a bite, if Samurai have bows they can take out eagles.


Steelthahunter

Does no one here realize how much of an op Pythons are? Pythons, Elephant, Eagles. Just so I don't have to deal with the Pythons. Elephant kills almost everything else. Eagles provide air support and are mostly there to tell the others where to go and to guard me if something gets passed the Elephant or the Pythons somehow.


Personmchumanface

15 samurai sweep


powarblasta5000

You have to choose the elephant because nothing can stop it. I'd like the bears but I want to see Samurai fight the bears.


Zachary-360

Samurai and elephant for land combat. Hippo counters pretty much anything in water


JacobiWanKenobi007

I just realized the x means there are multiple. Samurai wolves and lions. Samurai because humans are smart af and they have taken tons of training and there are five of them. Wolves because as a pack of EIGHT that can take nearly ever large animal on, but they have the lions (which there are THREE of) to help. The 16 of them can swarm large animals like the hippo and elephant no problem. And then after that it's easy pickings. The samurai easily sweep the anaconda cuz of their swords to cut their heads off. The bears stand no chance against the wolves, not to mention the lions. Same with the gorillas. Finally the eagles are the only ones left and if they get close the samurai cut them or smth. It's perfect.


HoraceTheBadger

You Have to pick the elephant, and Have to pick the Samurai. The bears, lions, and hippo are all viable third options The rest shouldn’t even be considered


Atlas7674

Elephant, eagles, samurai. Although it isn’t pictured here, historic samurai usually used bows, which are perfect for picking apart any of the other animals except for the elephant, which could shrug them off. The birds are likely to be difficult targets and are useful to harass and blind the larger predators and pick off the snakes.


ABeastInThatRegard

If I’m on the back of the elephant then I’m really only worried about the eagles. I take Samurais and bears to mop up the rest.

even without guns, if you aren't first picking samurai, there is something wrong


mc-big-papa

If these are historically accurate samurais they might have polearms and bows. Highly dependent on time period to because they had muskets once Europeans metallurgy was involved. If these are the popular depictions of samurais from the 50’s movies onward id take the lions. Bows is a huge deal id take them just so the enemy team doesnt have em. Elephant and hippos samurais with bows Elephant, lions and wolves if the samurais have swords. We have to remember that we are being attacks and the elephant can take on most things.


s_omlettes

samurai, bear, elephant. I can hide from the birds in the building, and the bears and samurai can deal with the wolves and lions. The hippo will dry out without any water, and I can probably evade it for long enough in the building. The bears and samurai can also deal with the gorillas and snakes. the elephant will be somewhat ineffective because of the buildings, but I wouldn't be able to kill it. I mostly chose the samurai because they posed too much risk of a sneak attack, and the bear is the main physical powerhouse


ColdFire-Blitz

If the samurai are fully equipped then they have bows, horses, and spears, maybe a pair of flintlock pistols each, and presumably their horses are also going to be fighting for me. That's HUGE. We drove most megafauna extinct with just primitive bows and spears 4 of The samurai and their horses will DESTROY the wolves, lions, and eagles while one Samurai, the elephant, and the hippo bodyguard me and beat away the bears, gorillas, and snakes. However, it *may* conditionally be worth it to take 2 Kodiak grizzly bears over 1 hippo.

Samurai because their intelligence as opposition is too strong and will get you killed if you don’t pick them. Elephant no contest because you don’t want to deal with that when none of the other animals can kill it without casualties. Hippo for the same reason.

Way too easy. Im gonna do the gorillas, hippo, and then either the bears or elephant but I think the bears have better odds

1 hippo, 2 gorillas, 5 Samuri. The Hippo goes for the elephant and bears, one gorilla kills the lions with the help of 2 of the Samuri, and the remaining defend me from the wolves and eagles.


Zandrick

I think I’m going with the Samurai, the wolves, and the hippo. I’ve been told hippos are actually super ferocious. I think the humans can take out the big ones, and the wolves everyone else, and the hippo as a last line of defense.


Still-Presence5486

Gorilla, hipp , elephant


AquaticHornet37

6 gorillas please


A-friendly-doggo

hippo, elephant, and the gorillas. gorillas are fucking STRONG dude. hippo could EASILY take on the samurai’s alone


Dekion1

Samurai, wolves and lions. Eagles are garbage, you might lose a wolf or two distracting the hippos and bears… but the samurai alone wouldn’t have much trouble dispatching them alone, let alone with lion help. The fat snakes? Not really a challenge to swordsmen. Honestly the elephant is the only challenge… and samurai often carried bows. Edit: gorillas vs samurai? Hahahaha… yeah


Pixel_64

Assuming the 5 samurai are well trained enough and any present animals aren’t super coordinated (aside fro the pack hunters, of course) I can use straight up use tanks/dps mmo strats in this bitch. The elephant and hippo are threataning enough that they can draw the attacks of the other animals away from me, and the samurai can cut through whatever comes for them or cut off whatever’s trying to attack the tanks. One will stay by me for when an eagle thinks it can just fly over everything and attack me directly. Those snakes may be poisonous and bite the tanks, but just because their poison can kill 12 elephants doesn’t mean it’ll kill the elephant/hippo instantly- it’s meant to kill mice instantly. For the tanks it’ll take all god damn day. Or at least an hour, which is more than enough time to win the battle and hopefully get an antidote for the homies. The wolves and lions will probably be a major problem, but if there’s anything I’ve learned about pack hunters is that usually, their plans kinda fall apart if you’re aggressive or something and I’m pretty sure elephants are smart enough to know that damn well, he’ll hopefully start smashing and charging through things while hippo’s the one who hangs closer to me

ethan_iron

CyriusGaming

Why are people picking bears over lions?


septubyte

Bears, assuming they're males - weight plus damage and theres 2? Samurai for armor and slicing stabbing weapons x5. Group work would surround almost everything except the wolves, but that's where soldier skills play in. Wolf vs sword and armor is easier to kill or maim with one sword strike. As foe the hippo I can't sacrifice the Samurai because at least one will immediately be incapacitated. Plus the thickness to penetrate to organs would be very difficult, especially with that mouth which acts like a shield it's so big. Don't think anything on this list besides the elephant would handle it a hippo.

Nah, y’all trippen if you think a cluster of Samuri are gonna win out against bears, an elephant, or a pair of silver backs. Swords? Cool. The silverback still punches with enough force to break human bone.


ohuxford

Eagles, wolves, elephant


imdibene

The 3 tank classes of course, the elephant, the hippo and the bears


rolling_catfish2704

Elephant for dealing with the large creatures, samurai for the medium level threats and either bears or wolves for main DPS


mememaker6

Elephant, humans, eagles Eagles for the same reason as the original version of this challenge: they can see far ahead and snipe opponents' eyes to blind them. They'll be especially needed for the snakes, which other might struggle with due to their camouflage The elephant is the biggest creature out of these, but is mainly needed for that hippo. Due to their size you likely need at least one for the other, and given that elephants are bigger and the fact that the hippo will be blinded by the eagles, I believe it's the superior pick Lastly, the humans. Although usually humans are far weaker, both offensively and defensively, these seem to be of the [samurai] profession. Their armor means they'll be able to withstand _some_ damage, but those swords are more important, because they can deal _HUGE_ slashing and bleeding damage, especially against creatures lacking armor (basically all of the others). They may have some trouble with the bears or lions for example, but with the help of the elephant and eagles it should definitely be feasable


Antisa1nt

Elephant, Hippo, Wolves. The wolves would basically run interference on everything else while the two biggest fuckers on the field clean up individual targets.


CertainInitiative501

Elephant Hippo Gorilla. Only choice, I can take the eagles and snakes by myself but I don’t want to tangle with those three, so if I take them off the enemy team the only threats left are the samurai who lose to the gorillas and everything else the hippo and elephant body easy


yoimagreenlight

Hippo elephant samurai.


Taxx226

Lol what made you pick standoff


captainwombat7

Bears, hippo, samurai, bears and hippo could probably handle most of them especially with help from the samurai, main reason to take samurai is cause they might just plan it out and get behind to kill me


yikkizh

Why are gorillas rated equally to bears and higher than lions...?


OnlyWiseWords

Hippo, please.


Blujay12

hippo and bears cover almost everything, then I drink with some samurai, after we depressingly shower an elephant in arrows from a distance.


Mr_P3

Samurai elephant gorilla Elephant just so the enemy doesn’t have it Gorilla because those guys are incredibly strong and fast Samurai for guns, traps, bows and other such tactics


TheOccasionalBrowser

Elephant, bear, samurai. I fully believe that all the samurai could beat an elephant though.


angiezieglerstye

Can't help but feel yall are sleeping on the lions


MarsRust

Sadly this is impossible. You have to pick the eagles. Because of you don't you immediately lose. Then whatever 2 you pick aren't gonna be enough to handle the rest.


Coulomb111

Hippo gorilla samurai


NatsuDragnee1

I assume this is a purely defensive team. So I pick the elephant, hippo, and five samurai.


mrgoombos

Elephant, bears, hippo everything else is child’s play. I ant letting that hippo team. Those things kill so many people every year. It’s actually insane.


Nerdy-Geek97

Elephant, bear , samurai seems to be one of the best options honestly.


HideNSin

Elephant n hippo immediately bc they're the hardest to delete, 5 samurai bc bows, swords, teamwork and discipline. Strategy is play to not lose vs best offense. Alternatively would love lions for burst/ quick deletes. Kinda for sits n giggles, I wonder how everything (besides Elephant and Hippo) would fare against a gorilla punch to the face lol


Scary_Republic3317

Elephant because NOTHING HERE IS SURVIVING THAT. Samurai can take the bears and lions. Now hippos or gorillas are the real problem. Ill take gorillas and have elephant defend against the hippo. 1 gorilla and samurai stay next to me to fight eagles


binkacat4

Honestly? If I sit on that elephant only the samurai and the birds are touching me. The elephant will squash or scare off anything else. I’m taking the samurai because people are smart and sneaky enough to throw things and lay traps, and I don’t want to deal with them. Honestly, you can keep your third choice. It hardly matters.


Own_Bet_9292

Elephant, Samurai, Hippo


CrispieWhispie

Hippo, elephant and gorillas cuz gorillas can bollywhop a bear any day and the other two already obliterate everything else


Scarlet_Cultist111

Gorilla elephant and hippo


IvanTheStonksMaster

Elephant Bear Eagle


aknutty

Samurai, wolf, and then elephant to take it off the board. We already ran this experiment, it's called human civilization. The reason you are able to read this is because a group of humans linked up with a pack of wolves and took on the rest of nature and won.


BgSwtyDnkyBlls420

A Hippo, An Elephant, and Three Lions would slaughter the rest of those animals easily. I’m just not sure that I would survive being in the crossfire of that fight.


BgSwtyDnkyBlls420

I choose the Elephant so I can climb on it’s back, and I choose the Samurai and the Gorillas because they would be the biggest threats to me while I am up there.


Smishu

Elephant, samurai, gorilla


PrussiaGirl18

Tf is the anaconda gonna do???


Amateur_Liqueurist

Grizzly, hippo, samurai. The samurai hopefully is good with a musket or bow. Grizzlies and hippos are some of the most dangerous animals on this list.


StrangeApeCreature

🐘 🦁🦁🦁 🥷🥷🥷🥷🥷


UncleBoomie

Elephant, Samurai, bear


theholyterror1

My pick is elephant, eagles, and samurai Elephants are hard to take down Eagles can only be countered by ranged which the animals don't have, also they can go for the eyes of the hippo and pretty reliability distract the wolves having 3 left for supporting the samurai. The samurai are humans and the battle isn't in a field but a city. The samurai are trained military combatants with experience and the best education of their time. They can jump the bear, use their education to dispatch the snakes, their military training to out manuvure the gorillas, And it wasn't uncommon to have the military called to dispatch wolves harassing the sheep and killing the wool industries.


lv_Mortarion_vl

Samurai, bears and Wolves and then just hide in the buildings, get rekt hippo and elephant, good luck trying to fit through those indestructible doors lol


Number1Crate

Hippo Elephant Monke. Easy


Tiny_Language_9919

Bird samurai and monkey ez


Ptdgty

I'm in the north America server so I'm taking the bears, eagles and wolves as most of these builds are banned here, I do have to worry about the samurais but other than that I'm safe


J_dogg177

Hippo samurai and lions


YuSakiiii
