4.7/5 - (16 votes)

Hydra is an elite Behemoth in Call of Dragons. It is a hard Behemoth to defeat and own. There are over 30 Hydras on the map so every alliance should be to control one.

When you defeat Hydra you will get 600 Gems, Relocation Teleport, 25h Speedups, 1m Gold & Wood, and 750k Ore.

How to defeat Hydra

Hydra is one of the best behemoths to have in the alliance. It deals a lot of AOE damage, and it will definitely help you fight other enemies in big field fights.

Hydra is a hard behemoth to defeat if you or your alliance members do not know what they are doing. There are a lot of skills and mechanics that you have to avoid and use. The first thing that you have to keep in mind is that you have 8 minutes to defeat Hydra. If you do not manage, all your troops will die, and Hydra’s health will come back to 100%. So you have to start from the beginning. 

When it comes to heroes and units that you have to use, it is relatively simple. You want to have a few tanks that will take damage from Hydra, while the rest of the players will use ranged units and heroes that will deal nuke damage to Hydra. Also, make sure that you inform your alliance members that you are going to attack Hydra so you can have as many players as possible. The more players you have, the more damage you will deal, which means that it will be easier to defeat it.

When you are fighting Hydra, you will notice 2 different mana stones on the ground. The first is red and has a timer, while the second is green and has charges.

Red stone: Red stone has different buffs and debuffs. First, if nobody picks it up and the timer goes to zero, you and your alliance member will get debuffs that will increase the damage you take. They are stackable, so if you get a lot of debuffs, you will take a lot of damage and die pretty fast. If the player picks it up, only he will get the debuff, but he will deal 25% more damage. So make sure that you or your alliance member pick it up as soon as it spawns.

Greenstone: There are 10 charges in greenstone. When you gather it, you will heal your troops, and all debuffs will be removed. So make sure that you pick it up if you are getting low on troops or have a lot of debuffs.

Agony Blast is a Hydra skill that will deal AOE damage. The problem with this skill is that there is no chance to avoid it. You will always take damage. So that is why it is important not to have debuffs on your troops. To avoid taking damage, make sure that you pick up the red mana stone so your members do not get buffs for taking more damage, and pick up the green stone if your troops are low or you have the debuff. This way, you will take normal damage and not die quickly.

Poisonous Crevices are also one skill that you have to know how to defeat. You will recognize this skill by the circular cracks in the ground. If they explode, all teammates will take damage, and debuff stacks that increase the damage taken. So to counter this skill, you have to stand on top of the cracks. When players stand on it, it will not explode, and you will not take damage. So make sure that you and your alliance members stand on each crack on the gourd. Every crack that explodes adds one stack to all players.

Big red attack. When you see a big red attack from Hydra, you have to run from it. If you do not, you will take a huge amount of damage and die. If you need a visual guide, you can always watch a video by Hulksden Gaming on how to defeat Hydra.
