Hydra/1.03.24

Hydras are advanced melee units.

Plaguelords
Hydras are very important to Plaguelords due to their good stats, resistance to piercing and slashing typed splash damage. They also cause fear, too, but that's more of an added bonus. They can handle many different units through sheer strength and sponge common archer arrows with their piercing resistance. Unfortunately though, Hydras are weak to the common slashing type damage that can undermine their anti-infantry capabilities at times. Their cost also clashes horribly with the rest of the Plaguelord race, making it difficult to produce these when you need them and without breaking your economy.
