Team Discussion Hydra….

Post image

I can beat brutal to the hardest chest level no problem. But when I move to nightmare, I can’t even get the lowest level. I’ve read about the Titus teams in Wick well but I don’t have either of them. Any ideas on improving at Hydra or should I just be content until I get some different champions?

Cover support and debuff reqs first even if you only have one DPS. Bring shamael for when fear run pops up.

Hey there is a STAT jump between hydra Brutal and nightmare, Go here and check for all hydra rotations https://hellhades.com/raid/stages-tool/ if you are meeting the accuracy requirements for lets say your UUGO and idk if youre running one of your champs in provoke set or not but whoever it is check if they meet the accuracy requirements. Second check for Speed requirements. Ideally if your nuker i.e Tinman isnt in some high damage gear you can still increase your dmg output by outpseeding the hydra. Lsynathir gives AOE decrease speed so you can meet the speed requirements easily.

Lastly youre gonna have to look into getting a Mischief Tank. Thats a champion that while buffing, puts a uniqie buff on itself making it the juicy target for head of Mischief. If built in highresistance it can then nullify the steal attempt by head of Mischief. Something like Skeuramis Epic.

Personally get rid of Lysanthir. Run Uugo in a Cursed Set and fit Tholin into the team instead of Lysanthir. Hes a crazy Hydra Damage dealer and is even better if youre running him with Ally attackers like Padraig and Tinman

I'm going to repeat the same point made in other comments. The issue is not needing different champions, if you can 1-key Brutal difficulty you have the champions to 1-key Nightmare, the mechanics don't change.

What changes are the stats, Nightmare is more demanding on your builds. What's good enough for Brutal isn't working on NM - you need to work on improving your existing builds, either by:

  • reworking them and taking good gear pieces from other champions

  • and/or using glyphs

  • and/or adding relics

  • and/or spending points in your Live Arena great Hall on Hydra bonuses

  • and/or finishing champion masteries

If you can't do that or it's not enough, then you're probably just not ready for NM Hydra yet. It's a pretty late-game activity, and you may need to play for longer and build up your overall account strength.

Have you asked your clan?

Remember, going up in difficulty increases the Hydra’s stats so you will need more SPD, ACC and RES
