As for awed Deva, mayby 3-4 shields would be better with some area spells, like shockwave, freezing or heating?

Any weapon that provides multiple attacks is great against hydras. If you got rushed by LA Pythium with 10+ A9W9 hydras in year 1, the easiest(maybe only) solution is equipping your combat pretender with gloves of the gladiator or wave breaker and boots of quickness.

Why would you give hydras a W9 bless? They already clear a square!

I'd give them E8 for sure. Not sure whether S or W would be best after that.

D8 is clearly the best hydra bless =p

(ok, A6+ is probably the best hydra bless, but D8 poison clouds are tasty).

No, no, you're all wrong. A9B8 is where it's at, clearly.

It's what I met in my last MP. I think W6 or W8 would be better because my nagas and monkeys just route immediately before the hydras have a chance to attack them

skelly spam.
earth meld + stellar cascades.
Dont fight the hydras. Run away, trade province for province.
One he splits, attack using Single focus spells.

Speaking about single focus spells, do not try to soulslay the hydra - creature has several forms (9 heads, 7 heads, 5 heads, etc), and soulslay kills only one of the forms.

Earth meld and similar spells will slow down hydras but can't kill them. For many nations your army will route before they can deal enough damage.
