Build Overview

Hydrakuna is a top-tier Hydra Sorcerer build for Season 10, dominating from leveling to endgame! With the Ophidian Iris amulet, this build merges your Hydra into three massive Hydras, enabling them to deal AoE damage.

This is the best all-around Hydra Sorcerer build of the season, assuming you have all the required Uniques and Mythic Uniques. You will also need the seasonal power.

Requirements for this build: Harlequin Crest, Shroud of False Death, Ring of Starless Skies and seasonal power.

This is the endgame version of the build with Mythic Uniques. It’s the most versatile setup, suitable for all content!
Make sure to always have Ophidian Iris

If you don’t have the Chaos version, a regular Unique will still outperform a Legendary item. So make sure to have all the Unique, Chaos version or not.

Masterworking (MW) enhances an item's stats. Each MW rank boosts all affixes by 5%, but Ranks 4, 8, and 12 give a 25% bonus to one random affix.

MW Rank 4 (blue): one affix gets a +25% bonus.
MW Rank 8 (blue or yellow): a second +25% bonus is applied, if it hits the same affix again, it turns yellow.
MW Rank 12 (blue, yellow, or orange): a third +25% bonus is applied, if an affix is hit three times, it turns orange.

Use the Masterworking menu at Blacksmiths. MW ranks can be reset if needed.
In this very end game version you want to hit 3MW on everything to optimise as much as you can. Cooldown is very important to be able to use teleport enchant between each cast.

How it Works

Frequently Asked Questions

Boots Implicit : Attacks Reduce Evade's Cooldown by 1,5 Seconds is mandatory on this build.
To achieve Perma TP, you'll need a high amount of cooldown reduction, along with the right boots implicit i.e Attacks reduce Evade's Cooldown by 1,5 Secondes. Evade cooldown reduction temper on your boots also helps. Or you can simply use Flickerstep instead of a legendary boots. This setup allows you to teleport between each cast. With enough cooldown reduction, your Teleport enchantment cooldown will be around 1.7 seconds. So the sequence becomes: Teleport → cast a spell → cooldown resets → repeat.
Critical Strike Chance: 40% from Esu's Ferocity (key passive), 20% from Invoked Hydra, 10% dex and base, 15% searing heat & 15% from Conjurer if you use it. So it's very easy to reach 100% Critical Strike Chance!
Hail of Verglas is used for its unique effect: "You deal 2% increased damage for each time Ice Shards hits an enemy for 5 seconds, up to [100] stacks."
Since there’s not much to do once your two Hydras are active, casting Ice Shards during downtime lets you stack this bonus, potentially doubling your damage!
