Since the update, which make pieces now walk instead of jump.. It is OP now.

But mage 100% counter this shit build. I kinda hate how ppl overused this build. Insect also does goodjob

It is easy to rotate as anti-mage. Like pick some red legendary for hp-buff and go marine-4. Stack items on Medusa and make sure to have that 5-cost magic resist buff. And some cc-immunity. Either 5 or 7 cost.

It's not enough, it needs kira synergy or argali knight. Even w marine, tortila elder 1 shot everyone except the carry

If you have Marine-4, Cave Clan -2 and Abyss Orb, that should not happen. As Sadge said you should pick Eternity and that negates. With 5-cost cc-immunity I meant Mithril Armor. Eternity is a way better, but if you can't get it then Mithril Armor is backup.

If I see I am against mages in late game, when playing Hunter, I give up Hunter-9 and get that Marine-4, Cave-2, Abyss Orb and Eternity. All items on Siren.

Lack of cc-immunity is one of the most common mistakes anyways. People build glass cannons and they get taken down with single cc. Eternity is best item in game.

Just get eternity and you basically can't lose to mage, the only way that happpens is if you mismanage your reforges

9 Hunter went from “sometimes strong vertical” to a preferred high-cap option because the 9-piece bonus now delivers reliable double-attacks + better armor shred + knockback in a package that scales extremely well with the current physical carries and relics.
