Hydra

Template:FS This skill enables the Sorceress to summon a beast of pure flame from the core of the world. The Hydra have been allies of the Zann Esu women for generations, owing their freedom in ancient times to the actions of the renowned Sorceress, Habacalva. They never fail to answer a call from a proven Sorceress, and stand ready to spit bolts of scorching magma at her enemies.

• Although summoned, caster's +% Fire Skill Damage from Fire Mastery and items, and -% Enemy Fire Resistance are applied (as are any synergy bonuses from the Sorceress' skills).
• Each of the three hydra heads fires independently, so it is possible for them to fire at up to three separate targets.
• 12 frame attack animation which cannot be increased or decreased in any way. [1] 15 frame AI delay in all difficulty levels lengthens the interval between consecutive attacks.
• Hydra cannot be targeted but will expire at end of their duration.
• Useful for scouting: cast at edge of screen and hydra heads will fire at any hostile unit beyond within their awareness range.
