Hydra Changes

Hey all my forum friends:

Just wanted to share some details about the HYDRA changes that were announced the other day., coming on the 24th of this month.


Let's start with the common changes:
- The following stats will be decreased for all difficulties - HP, ATK, DEF.
- The countdown of the Mark of the Hydra will be increased from 16 to 20 turns.
- While the damage required to interrupt Digestion and free your Champions will be decreased on every difficulty level except Nightmare.

And now, let's move on to other changes that will be made to particular Heads:
- Head of Mischief. the Cooldown of its A2 skill [Spoils of Mischief] will be increased from 3 to 4 turns.
- Head of Wrath. The DEF stat will be decreased for all difficulties in order to make this damage dealer Head less tanky.
- Head of Decay. This Head will be no longer immune to Provoke debuff. It will still attack the Champion with the lowest HP and not the one who placed Provoke on it. The A1 skill [Agonizing Jaws] will have priority over Provoke. But Provoke will neutralize its A2 [Speed of Decay] and A3 [Rotten Ward] skills, which would be really helpful.

The CMs released this info in the Raid Digest here: https://plarium.com/forum/en/raid-shadow-legends/843_news/31505_raid-digest--20-05-2022/

Early reactions: 

  • Bivald gets a lot better and arguably the two worst heads can now be managed a lot easier. Being able to control Decay is going to go a long way to smoothing out runs - and making other champions viable.
  • Reduction of max HP/DEF will make it a lot easier to decap heads and stack damage fast. However...
  • Will be interesting to see how this affects comps with champions that rely on max HP damage, especially relevant at higher difficulties. I am less worried about this versus bringing in more players who previously hated Hydra, couldn't do it or felt like they couldn't. 
  • The interactions with Mischief/Decay, Mark of the Hydra, Digestion and overall stats should go a long way to making Hydra manageable for more players.  
  • I'm curious to see what the changes are to rewards.

Overall, pretty optimistic. More control over Hydra runs should make it a lot easier from a time perspective, too.

As a new player , i dont know what those changes actually mean but i more than welcome an entry level difficulty for hydra ! :P So the nerfs are welcome even tho idk how closer they bring me to actually standing a chance vs that monster ! :)

I think these changes are very good, and in particular I love the provoke mechanic being usable now in this mode.  It's a tight line to balance, but introducing these mechanics open up a lot of viable champions now, as well as interesting team compositions.

Definitely looking forward to trying this out

Man have these changes ever been extreme. I went from being able to barely scrape by one-key with my top team, to being able to run 17M+ with my second team on auto. I think I'll probably be able to get top chest with my 3rd team now, and use the other two on the second difficulty instead, or possibly even on the third now.

This is good news. I will be running mine tonight.

I'm getting my last fragments today, after almost a year barely scraping the bottom of the barrel, and I promised never to touch Hydra afterwards... They must've heard, so they're nerfing her immediately. You're welcome! 😉

A construct even. 

I heard Einstein made it, relatively speaking.

That's 100% fact. He was doing the brickwork and I was mixing the mortar and keeping the beer cold. 

On a serious note, it certainly felt longer, though. Everyone in my clan, myself included, grew to hate the bloody thing, but still, it proves that even if you suck at something, persistence can offset the suck. 

Now that they changed the loot I'm more interested in continuing to fight even past Mythrala, but as more and more players get her, they will have to add something new very soon instead of her.

I have to say this one is news to me. Do you have anything to corroborate this?

Seemed normal to me when I did my first 2 keys. I just did a key this morning on my alt account and actually went to change the speed to 2x cause it was slow and noticed it was already on 2x speed.

Conspiracy or something more.

As to the changes though definitely a step in the right direction for this fight it seems a little more bearable. I've only ever gotten bottom chest on hard but was able to 1 key both normal and hard this week with changes.
