Endgame Guide: Hydra - Hydrakuna / Others: Tier List
The above Aspects are all great for boosting the build but are not neccesary for the build to function.
Later on once we hit Level 60 and start building into the Endgame Build we will swap out some of these Aspects but for Levelling these will give us the following boosts:
These are the new Seasonal Mechanic which you may or may not come across during levelling but here are a list of useful Bloodied Affixes worth looking for:
Feast (per X kills)
Rampage (per kill streak tier)
Hunger (during kill streaks)

The best in slot Divine Perks for most Spiritborn Builds as follows:
Essence of Anguish
Essence of Sin
Essence of Lies
Essence of Pain
We take Varyana as our Primary for the Attack Speed and Movement Speed she grants which are both mandatory and exceptional for this build whilst levelling.
We take Raheir as our Secondary as a get out of Jail Free Card if he activates in time when you Become Injured.
The main focus here is to make sure your Hydra's are all summoned at all times whilst trying to keep the enemies burning from 
Firewall where you can for the extra Burning Damage. The Fireball Enchantment also gives us a decent means of AOE Damage whilst levelling.
The following steps are the recommended rotation for skill usage:
Fire Bolt to stack Explosive Combinations to 3 Stacks and Regen Mana To Maximum.Inferno to group enemies together and make them Vulnerable.Hydra to reach maximum possible summons as quickly as possible.
Ice Blades to start it's cooldown and to scale 
Primordial Binding.
Lightning Spear to start it's cooldown and to scale Primordial Binding.Familiar until you reach the cap of 6 of enter cooldown to further scale Primordial Binding.Repeat each step as necessary
This Hydrabuild focuses on optimising the Damage Over Time across the build whilst staying tanky enough to beat all end game content. It does this through the following:
Hydra Heads.Hydra Damage and Damage Over Time as possible.
Warmth for Health regen.Fireball Enchant for excellent AOE Damage.Familiar Enchant to help scale our Primordial Binding Stacks for increased Damage & Movement Speed.Check out the In-Depth Explanations below for further details on the build.
With the correct gear this build should easily beat all the hardest content in the game .This will be an excellent Pit Pusher but to push the highest levels of content you will probably need to use Mana Shield which will make you pretty Glass Cannon so it will be Kill or Be Killed.
All of these levelling strategies will get you from Level 1 - 60 in a matter of hours. Below are the Levelling Strategies you can use in order of Fastest to Slowest:
Note: The Strongholds grant the same reward XP in all Difficulties so run them in a difficulty where you can blast through them at a good speed.
