Even works well with hydras colours. Will try this in my Wild Plains team I had a while back. Always good to use Hydra, now they just need to buff the third traitšŸ˜ ---

I have never tested Hydra before, but if you find a team you think is worthy, I will try. šŸ˜‰ ---

The Wild Plains team I played about with was Hydra Gorgon Soothsayer Sunweaver Sooth and Gorgon are able to generate mana for sunweaver which use to pump up Hydra and an emergency heal if needed. Sometimes swapping Gorgon for The Bonecrusher guy, forget his name. Will dust it off. ---

Hydra has always suffered in that itā€™s traitā€™s damage doesnā€™t scale. When it first came out, it had Jinx, and attacks didnā€™t really get above 20. The best teams I have had with it rely on Entagle, since Hydraā€™s trait will still trigger. Iā€™ve not tried it with Elemaugrim yet. If you need to enjoy yourself for a long time, give: Hydra Green Seer Giant Spider Loyalty a try. You wonā€™t get a wee, not so wee, but a really friggin 'uge Hydra. Then youā€™ve got to let it take damage so you can win. > [@Eika](#): > > I have never tested Hydra before, but if you find a team you think is worthy, I will try. šŸ˜‰ ---

Anyone tried using Abhorath as the target of her spell? He heals to full and gains attack with his own spell; now add Dark Priestessā€™ spell to his own and mayhem may ensue. ---

The same thing occurred to me. It doesnā€™t look great though - they both use purple but then combine them in a team and they both block a colour of giant spider. An alternative that Iā€™ve tried out is gorgotha, DP, emperina and a 4th. I used herdmaster just for air link. Having a gorgotha with over 100 attack, barrier, 3 troops that can cleanse him and 75% resistance to skull damage is pretty great ---

Interesting troop! Wondering if a pairing with Sunweaver would make for a good combination. Casting both spells would leave you with armor gain, double attack gain, and a wash when it comes to life gain/loss. Might have to give it a go and see if it can actually be effective. ---

Well, so far the best use is, with current buffs, Dark Priestess + Flesh Golem + Dragon Soul (or Valk) = 200 + Souls a fight. Also, she kinda work with an Orbweaver Hero Mystic because she can help span a spider? Bueller? Ok , I donā€™t like her. ---
