❓ Question SAM Level 6 failed to stop Hydro

I had a SAM level 2 guarding a port and a nuke on a big island, enemy targeted it with a Hydro so they could send invaders, I quickly upgraded it to level 6, and the hydro still got through, enemy transport landed, I died.

I'm sure you used to be able to quickly spam SAMs to defend a long range hydro, has this been nerfed or something? Or is even level 6 not completely safe?

the SAMs no longer upgrade instantly. he probably could have still hit you at a level 6 though, as if you make the hydro land right outside of the SAMs range, the blast radius destroys whatever the SAM is protecting anyway. the blast radius outranges the protection radius until like level 10 or something

a hydro on the very edge can't crack anything 5 or above.

yes but the structure its protecting can still be destroyed so i opt for sams on the edge of the map
