THE HAG IS OP

[The Angriest Lobster]

Can we all agree that the hag needs to have something done about the "eating" attack? It shouldn't be able to pick you up and eat you until you're at critical health/downed. the fact that it can just grab you while you're completely maxed on health and one shot you is broken.

[Trip]

Yeah, it sucks to die at full health.

But a stun gun, Angelo, or breakfree/use speed card combo gets you out.

A flash bang gets your buddy out and is free hag kill.

Stun gun will just get your buddy out.

There ARE alternatives if you prepared going in. If you see the hag card buy a stun gun and flashbang!!

But shes the easiest boss.

Shes blind and doesnt agro you until you damage her or you get close enough (basically just a bigger tankier snitch), she can be lured around with gunfire so you can pretty easily bring her to a kill zone.

Before she finds you you can flash grenade her which stuns her for like 5-8 seconds which is more than enough time to kill her outright. You get to see if there's a boss from the corruption card, specifically a hag card or the "something in the mist" card that also implies a hag so if you see any of those you should always just buy a flash bang.

Mess up and agro her by mistake you can still use a taser to escape the grab or use a grenade to stumble her if shes eating a team mate (or maybe even mag dump her with stumble rounds).

Also unless you are on nightmare like 1-2 mags from the team should damage her enough to make her retreat and come back later.

Its really not that broken.

The only time I've seen her take anyone (outside of bots) was when we were still new and playing 2 player and she swapped agro at a bad time (didnt even know she could swap agro, thought she worked like a witch at the time).

lets be honest, who carries around flash grenades?

Sure, it won't pull a whole hoard away but it got allot of uses, particularly to rescue teammates are turn hags and breakers trivial.

Anyone who sees the Boss corruption card or has experience on Hells Bells and notices that no one on the team has one. Every boss encounter can benefit from a stun and +% vulnerability. And they're one of the less expensive offensive accessories to boot.

i get the "tools/cards and their uses' and it would work if the multiplayer wasn't god awful and filled with speed runners, quitters, and idiots who rush ahead. i run toolkit/defib and its a complete shot in the dark getting a group that actually uses tactics against a hag, if the multiplayer were functional id say leave it.

A few regular nades will also stumble Hag and drop her HP quite a bit.
When playing with randoms if you don't have stungun/flash nade don't aggro first.

[Blue]

A few times I've had the hag+the ogre/breaker at the same time right outside of the safe room on the first map on Act 3. Most of the time that is GG.

[CRAGNAR]

The special spawn spam is what's broken. Bosses are very straight-forward.

[Monk]

Have one aggro her and run in circles, the rest unload on her back, easy kill, if your caught, follow previous posters tips.

[KyrenCross]

Melee guy with a "Heavy Hitter" card can stun lock her constantly by hitting her weak spot while everyone unloads at her. If the Melee guy has a good deck then she can just solo the hag.

Hoffman with pure grenade damage build can also kill her in 2-3 grenades.

Everyone can also bring a stun gun, then start blasting. When she comes near, one throws a pipe to lure away hordes, then one stuns her and everyone unloads on her back. Then stun her again, rinse, repeat.
Flash bangs also stuns her for a long time so that is also an alternative.

[Helrika]

Melee build destroys her soul

[2021returner]

if you trigger it you better run
hag is slower than you and grab is short

[Kidd Nelson]

Trust me, you pray for hags on Nightmare

[Amica]

Hag in last stage is not a problem , but how about first stage encounter ?
Melee build , if you have only white baseball bat and a few card.
pure nade , at this stage the nade is white grade , damage is not enough (because card is not enough if choose nade bag then no damage ,if choose damage then no slot).
stealth is seem to be the best way but most time in real game tallboy and his friends not allow you to do that.
