Will an Eternal do anything against the 8 headed panzer?
Here are the stats for Eternal. Considering it doesn't really block the icons that the Eight-Headed Hydra uses, I wouldn't recommend it. You want attackers that block significant Fire, Dark, Earth, or Magma.
Thank you for the advice. That thing is kicking my pet's little butt. I will try with Natasha and sword hooks then.
Those two should work much better. I would even venture to say they are the ideal combo for that opponent :D Good luck!

Which weapons and scrolls do you have in your default sets right now?
Ideally, the icon types you want to block are Physical, Dark, Fire, Magma, and Earth. are all solid choices for this.
It looks like recommended this set last year:
+
The strategy behind this set is that the Reborn Icewand of Doom and Frost Thorn are strong in the icon types that the hydra does not block (Water, Ice, Wind) and also carry a chance to freeze. The Flayed Lord Breastplate and Divine Denizhen Scroll are for providing defense against the Physical, Dark, Fire, Magma, and Earth icons. Then you can use mod crystals to fill in any gaps you may have.
I was thinking there were more than five... Guess I just have so many pets, it seems like there are more. lol
Is it my imagination or is Mecha not throwing up the curse it usually does against 8 head? Are curses disabled against him? I'm not seeing the smoking gun icon pop up under him. I need that curse. I need all the help I can get. My pet is T13. She should be able to beat him more than twice.
Ugh, you're right! Sorry about that, I'm a bit obtuse when it comes to noticing when blessings/curses are disabled. I'll add it to the OP.
It's a bummer. I'm still struggling over which weapons are working best against him. I'm trying everything. Maybe I should look at the Trident because of the blessing. IDK.
Which weapons are in your default set? I was able to get 8 wins with my T12, so you can definitely make it to 5 wins with Avaeri!
This is the set I used: x4x6 I modded Natasha and Cronus Blade with three critical strike tear crystals and one parched baguette because there's a chance being frozen. But you can also use Maniacal Essence or Ornamented Hook Swords. I'm not sure how the Trident would work out, even with its superb blessing. You could try different mod crystals if you need more defense?
Similar set, but with Hooks instead of cronus, and the trident instead of the helmet. I used a shriek to freeze on the first round, and then that anti-freeze blessing kicked in. The only real difference I see are the 6 GotF scrolls. I'm using more Cobalts and and Aftershocks for the earth block. I've also been going back and forth between Natasha and P-Staff.
I'll boost some tomorrow and have another go. Maybe try to borrow some forge scrolls. Do you think those have been the difference?
I'm sure they did make a difference, just because I needed all of the healing I could get :P
My issue with Aftershocks is that the Hydra was absorbing all of the earth that it was dishing out, although its defense is better. Ocean Currents has that extra 1% heal, plus the hydra does not block the water or ice.
I'm not a real battler xD my default set (I use it for... all <.<) is with 2 with 1 with 1 with 1 with 1 with 2 with 1
and
Does anyone start out as a real battler? :P
-I would consider using a different mod on your Gate Keeper Collar of Slavery. It already has a 100% freeze rate, so the Freezing Baguette Crystal won't do anything on that weapon.
-I also recommend adding Recycle Blaster and Blackmoon Hand Blaster to your set. The Recycle Blaster will change one of your opponent's weapons into a Recycled Wad, which does 1:dmg:physical:. The Blackmoon Hand Blaster will change one of your opponent's weapons into a Cube that does 13:dmg:physical: once, then disappears after they use it.
-The Five-Headed Panzer Hydra doesn't block :dmg🧊 :dmg:wind: :dmg:water: so you may consider using mod crystals with those icon types for extra damage. Alternatively, the Hydra dishes out a lot of :dmg:physical: :dmg🔥 :dmg:dark: :dmg:earth: :dmg:magma: so you may want to switch for defensive mod crystals of those icons types. I think either option would be more effective than the Healing Baguette Crystals, which only have a 10% chance of healing 2% or 2 HP.
P.S. Your scrolls look really good for not being a real battler :P
