Dark Elves Regiment of Renown unit introduced in Total War: Warhammer II with The Queen and the Crone.
Recruitment
Recruited with: Regiments of Renown Recruitment panel
Description
The Hydra is a titanic beast of the mountains, whose ill-tempered and ravenous nature has proven the doom of many an unsuspecting morsel. Indeed, so ferocious is the Hydra that campaigning armies often make wide detours to avoid intruding on such a beast's bone-strewn lair. Those that march on regardless do so either out of confidence in their battle-prowess or ignorance of the Hydra's savagery. War Hydras are notoriously difficult for their handlers to control, and a Beastmaster must be quick with his lash lest he be devoured in the enemy's stead. They are even more difficult to slay, for not only are their scaly bodies incredibly well armoured, they also regenerate damage at a frightening rate. A foe's only chance is to sever all the monsters heads in quick succession - if even a single one remains, the remainder will swiftly grow back and devour the impudent attacker for his troubles.
Attributes
- Monster
- ▲ Frost Breath: The icy blast freezes and slows the foe, its withering cold hampering their attacks.
- ▲ Frostbite: The intense cold cuts into the flesh and burns the foe's extremities, greatly reducing their speed.
- ▲ Causes Terror: This unit can cause terror, making its melee target rout for a short time. Units that cause terror are immune to terror and fear themselves.
- ▲ Regeneration: Regeneration allows a unit to heal while in battle. Fire is known to harm this healing process, so be warned that flaming attacks will cause more damage to units with Regeneration.
Abilities
Strategy
A Hyrdra that imbues the Frostbite contact effect which allows the Hydra to slow its enemies down massively.
