Looking for tips on stats to look for or fun builds (Not really meta, just fun!)

Thank you!

I’m messing around with horadic powers right , sure cosmic anomaly and disintegrate are the top dogs for pit runs but I using random arcane/catalyst can be fun if your into that sort of thing.

Hydra’s kinda unique in that can still push bosses/TIV while not having all your mythics and following meta.

lol wtf sig. probably a troon.

Anyway I like the Hudrakuna build from mobalytics. You can probably squeeze more damage out of the flicker step/inferno build, but it works really well with survivability balanced with damage.

Unfortunately, OP doesn’t want the meta build.

In other words, he was looking for a Ferrari without its engine :thumbsup:

So he’s looking for a hydra build but not meta. Hydra is meta lol. Slap whatever random shit on the build as long as the build has Iris amulet and serpetine aspect. It is still the same build.

This comment is pretty lame. I clearly said I wanted to play a Hydra build going in with no knowledge of the Meta. There are multiple Hydra builds I've been told about by many people. And there is a static Hydra Meta build I've learned about. I said i wanted a fun build that wasn't really meta. Please read before posting.

How is that lame? I just said above. Meta is running serpertine and iris amulet. There might be different builds out there but fundamentally they are all built around this aspect and neckpiece. Hydrakuna is static because he’s popular, that’s all

Yep.
Without those 2, all your doing is stacking hydra.

You can swap out pants, go one hand/focus, don’t worry about mythics etc but it’s serpentine and iris for the big hits.
