[Top 5] Genshin Impact Best Hydra Teams That Are Powerful!

A bit scary that new hydra


Genshin Impact is a game that has events that repeat yearly. One of these events is the Lantern Rite from Liyue, which celebrates the Lunar New Year. Each event changed the missions and bosses, and this year was no different.

What we have to do this year is to defeat the wife of Osial, a remnant of a god that once battled with the Geo Archon. In the photo above we see one of its three heads, which we have to defeat in order to receive points. In this guide, we’ll show you which are the best teams to use.

5.  Hu Tao + Bennett + Kazuha + Zhongli

First, we start with a melee team. After attacking, one of the heads of the Hydra will come down and that’s the moment where your melee DPS should attack. Hu Tao is your DPS of choice in this team, a Pyro polearm character that which increases damage with the life she loses.

Zhongli’s shield has to be always on you, because Hu Tao has low Hp and even a hit can cause her to die. When the head falls, Bennett’s burst will increase future damage and Kazuha’s burst will give you off-field passive Pyro damage. Now just spam Hu Tao’s powerful attacks and kill those annoying heads.

Why This Team Is Great for Hydra:

  • One of the best DPS in-game
  • Produce Hydro + Pyro elemental reaction
  • Increased damage thanks to Bennet and the Pyro resonance
  • Off-field damage and elemental resistance from Kazuha’s burst
  • Can’t die with Zhongli’s shield and Bennett’s healing

4.  Ayaka + Xiangling + Qiqi + Zhongli

The next one is another melee team. This time with Kamisato Ayaka as the main DPS. Instead of a Vaporize elemental reaction, will go instead for a Melt reaction, which needs Cryo + Pyro. We’ll get that mixing Ayaka’s normal attacks with Xiangling's off-field burst.

That would be enough damage to kill the Hydra. However, we have to be careful not to die, that’s what the rest of the characters are for. Qiqi’s burst makes Ayaka’s normal attacks heal the party, and Zhongli’s shield is mostly impenetrable. We can’t forget their burst hit like a truck.

Why This Team Is Great for Hydra:

  • One of the best DPS in-game
  • Constant Pyro + Cryo elemental reaction
  • Two powerful bursts: Ayaka’s and Zhongli’s
  • Increased critical rate thanks to Cryo resonance
  • Off-field damage from Xiangling’s burst
  • Can’t die with Zhongli’s shield and Qiqi’s healing

3.  Raiden Shogun + Bennett + Xiangling + Kazuha

The last of the melee teams is a burst DPS team we all know and love: the Raiden + three supports team. The Electro Archon can is able to increase burst damage and energy recharge, so spamming elemental burst is easy for this team.

Bennett’s burst heals and increases damage, Xiangling’s and Kazuha’s deal tons of off-field damage, and Raiden’s it’s the most powerful and can defeat a head in seconds. The only problem is that you have to wait until the head falls. We’ll solve it now.

Why This Team Is Great for Hydra:

  • Most powerful team in-game
  • Increased Energy Recharge and Burst damage for Burst spamming
  • Increased damage thanks to Bennet and the Pyro resonance
  • Off-field damage and elemental resistance from Kazuha’s burst 
  • Off-field damage from Xiangling’s burst and Raiden’s skill
  • Can’t die with Bennett’s healing

2.  Yoimiya + Thoma + Diona + Zhongli 

What is the solution you ask? Well, a ranged team. In this case, you need archers. In the game, there are now 3 DPS archers: Tartaglia, Yoimiya, and Ganyu. Tartaglia’s element is Hydro so it wouldn’t deal damage to the Hydra. We’re left with Yoimiya and Ganyu.

Yoimiya’s team is second because the overall damage is less than with Ganyu. However, it’s still an amazing team. The Pyro resonance, constant melt damage, and healing and shielding, makes this team check all boxes for an all-around team.

Why This Team Is Great for Hydra:

  • Can’t attack even when the head is not down
  • Constant Cryo + Pyro elemental reaction
  • Off-field damage from Thoma and Diona
  • Huge DPS
  • Can’t die with Zhongli’s shield and Diona’s healing

1.  Ganyu + Shenhe + Bennett + Zhongli 

Now, in the first place, Ganyu’s outstanding DPS. As a ranged team, they can deal damage at all times, and be healed, shielded, and buffed. Ganyu’s only problem is her low HP, but as always it is solved by Zhongli’s amazing shield.

Bennett’s burst causes Ganyu’s damage to increase, and Shenhe’s burst deals damage while also increasing Ganyu’s damage. Knowing the power of her charged shots, just one or two are enough to finish one of the heads.

Why This Team Is Great for Hydra:

  • Best DPS in- game
  • Can attack even when the head is not down
  • Bennett’s burst heals and increases damage
  • Shene’s burst increases Cryo damage and decreases Cryo resistance for enemies
  • Can’t die with Zhongli’s shield
  • Cryo resonance increases critical rate

 

We can conclude that both melee and ranged teams can be used for this event, but ranged characters allow you to continue attacking even when the heads aren’t down. As one of the best DPS in the game, Ganyu is the best archer to use. However, as always, every game wants you to have fun, so just choose your favourite characters and try to win with them.
