The first person to get eaten is the person with highest crit damage, so if you make a support have the most they'll get eaten. Or maybe a single target nuker with most crit damage and an aoe nuker close to that to take out mischief if he eats someone.. or vice versa. 

After that, I'm not sure.

I haven't experimented yet, I'm going to wait for this weekend. But I did run the shamwow cheese with champions I had laying around. Suzerain as lead for his aoe dec speed. Skullcrown and sinesha are in my old, old, old maybe mid game level cruel or savage blender comp gear. Psylar is built with accuracy and no damage for.... faction wars I think, but she gave me another fear and could dec speed if suzerain missed. And coldheart because.. I didn't have anyone else 😄. 


This weekend I'm going to try out a team based around Cleopter chicken.

Ok, so I saw a video claiming that Trunda deals crazy damage to the hydra. My team that I used with her was Arbiter, Venus, Archmage Hellmut, Brogni, Cupidus, and of course Trunda. It was not a perfect run by any means and some champs chould/should be changed out, but on one key I was able to get 4.24mil damage on normal. With some tweaks next week after reset, I'm guessing I could get this higher if I switched in a Royal Guard too. 

Let me know your thoughts on this team. Thanks.

I think it is a good way to go! You have champ builds you could show us?

i pulled heavily to pick up the fusion epic, got the epic which should make fusion easier and pulled

my second ursula, my fourth geo, 3 ultimate galeks etc...but also pulled hakkorin and ruel, which clan mates are suggesting will help with hydra?

Anyone used them hydra? i am struggling to understand why they would be good there.

I think Ruel is one the champs discussed for applying Hex to Mishief. He seems to be fairly consistent.  I've got him in the que to try this, but mentioned to a clan mate I just avoid attacking Mischief for now.  He pointed out that Mischief has lowest DEF of the heads and should be a primary target for getting more damage. 

Haven't heard Haarken mentioned, but her debuff spread/extend seems useful here.

P.S. Stop hogging my Ursula and Geo!

Thanks, i really need to spend a bit more time looking at the mechanics properly

As for geo, i pulled my first about a month ago and now i pull one a week!

Annoying that I have to use 3 different teams. And Damage is not Cumulative.

They are. Or do you want the numbers from your first run to show during your second?

I just wish trying to get my guys to attack the head that is digesting one of my champs actually worked. Half the time, I clikx the head to get my champs to attack that one and they end up attacking a completely different head. It's super frustrating to try and attack the digesting head to get my champ back,only to not have my other champs attack the head I want them to attack.

Head of mischief has a 75% chance to redirect attacks unless it is under a hex debuff.

It's happening with other heads as well. And so few are using a hex champ since they haven't had a reason to build on until now... not a fan of the hydra at this point.

I haven't seen any other heads misdirect.

Easy 1 key on full auto with rector in the mix (normal)

Deacon (aura, drop defence, boost), Royal guard (main damage), rector (veil, resurrect, heal), brogni (shield, reflect), doompriest (passive), abbess (randomnly picked aoe damage) 

Still think its hard without shamael, clanmates with him / duchess are doing far bigger scores.

I am NOT an end gamer nor do I have but just a couple of the "top" champs.    I tried looking at other teams, putting in the study, the time, and autoruns.    I couldn't even break 1 million.    On my last try I said, "What the heck" and just clicked on some champs and ran it on auto.  2.68 MILLION dmg.    Go figure.

DmPriest, ManE, Nodg, Ninja, Candra, Old Herm in that order.

Maybe I'll close my eyes next time I pick....*sigh*

Doompriest and Ninja I am finding are really good champs for Hydra. I know Harbby, the other forum Mod, was trying lots of teams and strats. If you post your roster he might end up having a suggestion or two from his testing.
