This Hydra Krisk build is meant for the Infinity Shield clan boss team composition. This build has five components that make Krisk an extremely valuable asset to the team. You will want to build him with high speed, high resistance and whatever accuracy you can spare.
The first use Krisk provides is buff extension for the duration of all ally buffs. Most importantly the Shield buffs, which will be doing all of the damage. The second is to provide Hex coverage to all of the Hydra heads with his AOE abilities. The third is to act as a Mischief tank to mitigate the buff steal ability. Krisk's kit also allows you to land Provoke on the head of Decay as well which is quite useful. The last thing he provides is damage mitigation to the team (Especially Corpulent Cadaver) with his Ally Protection ability that is part of his A2.
All in all, Krisk provides a ton of benefits to the team with his regular kit and you can extend his usefulness by using the Cursed set. For this build you will want as much Hex coverage as possible, since it will mirror a lot of the damage that Corpulent Cadaver does to the heads. Krisk really is one of the best options for this.
Strategy Description
Artifacts Description
Hex coverage from the Cursed set will increase damage to the overall score. This is crucial to getting higher scores for this fight. Since the heads will be popping right and left in quick fashion, the ability to get Hex back onto the heads as quickly as possible is of a high priority. This set is amazing for the Hydra.
I went with Defiant for the second set for the damage mitigation aspects and the extra Defense percentage. It also worked out that I had some high RES chest pieces saved up from that set. The second set is less important though. You can literally pick anything that helps. Speed and/or Resistance sets could also come in handy.
Refresh accessories can help with the A2 coming back around quicker. As well as making his Provoke ability come back early in the fight when you will still be using it to control the hydra but that becomes less useful as the fight wears on and the heads start staying permanently decapitated.
* Some artifact sets have upgraded versions available. If you have a better upgraded version of this recommended artifact set, definitely use that instead.
This is a score measuring contest so the more damage you can squeak into the build, the better. For that reason, I went all damage down the Offense tree all the way to Warmaster. Then Support tree is a great option for Krisk since his accuracy might be hurting due to the high speed and resistance demands. All the extra accuracy is welcome. Lasting Gifts and Master Hexer are again great final options on that side to choose. Cycle of Magic is highly valuable for increased A2 uses.
Cruelty
Cruelty
Level 1 Blessing
Even at a low level, Cruelty is a great commodity to have for this fight since the heads will be spawning and despawning very quickly. You will want to capitalize on doing as much damage as possible throughout the fight. Having this on a champion like Krisk with multiple AOE abilities is very helpful.
Level 6 Blessing
Any additional damage you can add to Brogni's A2 when he uses it is highly recommended. If you have an opportunity to get Krisk a high level blessing, this is a great option to choose.
