Anybody got any tips for how to beat up the big bad Hydra without doing more than 2000 damage (I know it's per turn, or so I've thought, but either way it seems impossible for me.)
1 leading strike, 2 disrupt, 3 reform, 2 crystallize. Don't attack the hydras at all. Let your teammates do it and keep their hp up. Make sure they only attack, because healing would just waste a turn when you could do it yourself. Crystallize the hydra and one of the claws so your team focuses on just one claw at a time and won't be barraged with attacks. Use leading strike on a crystallized enemy to gain back your focus, and keep yourself from doing damage.
When you get to the hydra, constanly use disrupt so it wastes a few turns charging itself back up. If you get into a tight situation, crystallize it and heal everyone and wait for your abilities to recharge.
I got the medal on challenging mode, because it was taking way too long in heroic.
