Great job. Very nicely done and I'll definitely point this video out to clan mates who still struggle. The one thing I don't get is why everybody seems to forget about Khoronar. He single handedly helped me to get into Hard and Nightmare because of how reliable his provoke is. If you factor in the Warmaster damage from constantly AoE'ing, the decrease attack/defense and the ability to tank, he's a top tier Provoker. Definitely at Var-Gall level if not like the others big three.

He brings AOE revive, heals, increase speed, damage mitigation and shielding! You are doing great! Would love to hear your thoughts on progressive gearing of champs (for lack of a better term) I have Archer and I’m struggling to hear her cause what I want to do with her I don’t have the right gear for yet lol anyways great stuff!

For Damage I really suggest adding Harima, Razelwarg and Whisper. Harima scales up insane and one of the best DD for Hydra. (also provides additional decrease attack and Provoke) Razelwarg scales with speed, provides increase speed/acc, and leach (really important for non reviver teams) and lastly whisper, I believe the best epic DD for hydra, with ignore def extra turns.

A couple of glaring (at least IMO) omissions from the list : Sentinel as a provoker. He is a one-trick pony but, as a rare, is easy to build and can reliably provoke decay with his A1 at 80%. While a rare, he is an HP champ with lots of built in tankyness and his passive heals him by 10% each turn and can crit. Since you need to crit for the A1, that heal will always crit too. Not S-tier and maybe not A-tier, but he most certainly should be in the budget tier. Wuji as a mischief tank. She self buffs with a counterattack and perfect veil. Thus +2 buffs vs the rest of the team. Since one of those buffs is counterattack, a bloodshield accessory effectively gives her +3 buffs vs the team! She has A1 weaken, which converts from single target to AoE when counterattacking (which happens a lot). Her criminally low HP makes her dodgy for NM Hydra (though she works fine for me there), but there are ways to keep her upright with healing (using a set like lifesteal and/or having leech out on the hydra heads or else having a healer on the team). Again, not S-tier, but possibly low A-tier.
@lilraids
5 ай бұрын
Wow, I would call those a couple of niche picks personally, but thanks for the input - I put them both in the Budget tier. I have tried Wuji, but her block buffs being only 75% and her being so low HP stops her going into A for me. I have seen her put to good use though.

Thanks for the video. Would be interested in seeing a real test of the affinity breaker set in Hydra (also works with poison cloud)... maybe a new collab with Nub? Just did a quick test over 10 battles with Arbiter for tm boost and inc atk, with Ninja in affinity breaker and Rotos without, both hitting the Force head with single target attack. Ninja had 4 weak hits to Rotos with only 2 weak hits (bad rng I guess / I hope). Both champs weak hits would do around 18.9% of the crit dmg (i.e. 18.9k weak hit and 100k crit). For a real test I would use a Champ with a big AoE and a champ with big single target dmg... run it at least 100x in dmg set, re-gear to affinity breaker and run it 100x again. Counting weak hits and dmg in both sets and compare. A second test would be the reliability of the set when using it on debuff champs like Uugo, who need to land a hit to apply the debuff. After seeing the bad rng, I looked up the mechanics behind weak affinity... weak affinity does 20% less dmg, has a 35% chance of weak hit and has a 15% reduced crit chance. The weak hit itself has an additional 30% dmg reduction and does not activate effects like placing debuffs... reading the numbers the set looks less good than I thought... 50% of 35% chance to weak hit? That's not really much, may be better to go full speed or relentless to try again.

nice, thatll be useful for people, personally i have about 30% mby slightly lower amount of champs given in this guide but i def do have some decently good ones.. this will prolly help me make a good hydra team because despite having strong champs, i keep doing barely any damage cuz of the survavibility of my champs and the buffs on hydra

Haha I probably only have 30% of them also! The idea is to help slot the team together from the champs you have - covering as many roles as possible. I listed the roles in the order of importance (from left to right).

Var-gall is s-tier if its only rated by provoke. Imo hes the best of em all, even better than R N archer. Spd over 300 and he will keep it up 100%. Further his provoke is placed so he can provoke through poision cloud and weak affinity. And you should add RN archer as s tier for provoke. His decrease atk and ability to mischief tank is good to but then he doesnt do much. /vasquia

I disagree with putting Mighty Ukko as S tier for block buffs. Since hydra heads respawn with a buff, he can't place block buffs before poison freak puts up the cloud. I have 2 Ukko and currently use none of them for hydra. Super disappointing champ.
