Battle logic
Strategy
The Crystal Hydra mainly uses Ice and Holy attacks, making resistance to those two elements helpful. Like the Zombie Hydra, Death Resistance will stop the tail stabs from being an instant kill. Freeze/Chill resistance will also reduce the risk of losing turns to its ice attacks. While its initial weakness to Earth is removed when decapitated, Natalie's Dark Pulse and Pulsar can both inflict Heavy to make the most of the vulnerability while it is present. After being decapitated, Dark attacks should be used instead; if they are not available, Fire, Thunder, and Bomb can be used as well. Note that the Crystal Hydra will only use its Holy attacks after it has been decapitated.
The Sacred Land weather active for the battle can be both helpful and dangerous, as it can both improve the party's survivability and make the Crystal Hydra much harder to kill, depending on who it affects. It may be a good idea to use a weather-changing effect if the costs of allowing Sacred Land to remain active outweigh its benefits.
Like the other Hydras, the Crystal Hydra's heads all have to be killed within a short time prevent the heads from reviving each other.
Summon
The foe can be captured to be used as a summon.
