The Hydra is a titanic beast of the mountains, whose ill-tempered and ravenous nature has proven the doom of many an unsuspecting morsel. A furious battlefield force savage in combat and notoriously difficult to kill. I still think the hydra is generally better vs AI(not really a fan of either unit in MP) but I think those are some things worth keeping in mind. War Hydra is a Dark Elves Monster in Total War: Warhammer II. With rear charges and missile damage you can possibly even pull it off on higher difficulties or vs more resilient factions like dwarves or other elves.Ģ)Poison debuffs enemy damage, which means that while not doing that great vs infantry perhaps, a kharybdiss supporting its troops can apply poison to the enemy infantry, making them less effective vs your own infantry. If you have a death caster, you can drop doom and darkness in an area, dropping enemy leadership by 16, add a further -8 from kharybdiss, fear penalty and terror, and on lower difficulties you can cause a near instant rout in an area vs some factions.
Before I forget, two little tidbits that might be in the kharybdiss' favor are:ġ) the potential for easier terror routing. Originally posted by warrickbartley:so Hydra is a better all round choice, whenas Kharybdiss is more against other monster units i see thankyou for the infro Yep, NP.
