Summons a hydra by the nearest pack for 10s that spits 10 damage fire bolts.

These are base learned-level effects, not final character-sheet damage. Account for equipment bonuses, synergies, modifiers and enemy resistances.

Effects by level

Evolution requirements

Synergies and practical checks

• Fire Bolt: +4% Fire Damage per Level
• Fire Ball: +30% Fire Damage per Level

• Each cast raises a hydra of three heads most of the way to the nearest pack, apart from those already standing. It casts only with a monster in reach.
• Its heads spit in turn, each at the nearest monster in its reach: one spit every 0.4 seconds a hydra.
• Its timers are Diablo II’s at every level: each hydra stands 10 seconds and it recharges in 1.6 . Up to 6 stand at once, as many as those timers let stand. A hydra sinks early once you go far from it.
• Enchant raises its bolts twice as much as your other fire skills. Its kills are its own: they don’t set off your items’ effects on a kill.

Skill modifiers

• Legion — Each cast raises 2 hydras, up to 10, at half damage. Each bolt flies on past its first hit at 25%.
• Champion — Up to 3 hydras stand at once, each spitting at the toughest monster for 70% more damage.
• Tri Hydra — Its three heads spit fire, cold and lightning bolts in turn. The cold and lightning bolts deal 65% more damage.
