Prediction: Highest damage on Hydra will be 4-5m damage per hit on 1 Hydra Head

Here I am making a RAID prediction that the highest damage on Hydra Clan Boss will be 4-5 million damage PER HIT done by the Corpulent Cadaver on a decapitated/exposed Hydra Head.

I predict that players will find a way to grow shields exactly the same way as it was done for the regular Clan Boss where Victor reached a world record of over 500 million damage.

In Hydra battle the shields can be grown in several ways:

  • (possibly critical) Putting Brogni as lead with Shamael support allowing Brogni many more turns to build shields.
  • (optional) Using champions that reduce skill cooldown allowing for even more shield building.
  • (required) Naturally using buff extenders to keep the shields on.
  • (possibly critical) Possibly re-casting / re-grouping the shield at the beginning of the battle while wearing the new Protection set making sure the shield is PROTECTED and therefore cannot be stolen.
  • (possibly critical) Using a bait champion (opposite affinity / lower health) with high RES to bait Head of Mischief into attacking him so no buffs are stolen from the team.

The Team composition:

  • Brogni
  • (extend buffs + other) Krisk
  • (extend buffs) 2x Lanakis or 1 and Hellborn Sprite
  • (the damage dealer) Corpulent Cadaver 
  • and for the 6th slot: Shamael or if he is not used then a champion who can reduce skill cooldowns such as Kymar or Renegade/Painkeeper.

Note: only the shield on Corpulent Cadaver matters so if due to lack of speed tuning the shield will drop off other champions then the 6th slot will be a REVIVER champion instead to keep the team going.

Why 4-5 mil damage:

  • The Corpulent Cadaver did 1.75 million damage per hit on the Clan Boss. On a decapitated Hydra Head I am guessing it will be about 2.5 times higher = 1.75 x 2.5 = 4.375 million damage per hit.
  • Note also that on one side the 1.75 should be less on Hydra due to higher defense, but this will be offset by a larger shield and a different equipment set (Savage).

Why I cannot show/test this:

I am a small blogger, I don't have the resources or access to test things in the game and, as I am FTP, I do not have the required legendary champions.

What do you think about my RAID prediction for the Hydra Clan boss battle?
