Well, I don't think it's Armor-Piercing so much as the farther you move, the more damage it does. (In that case, AP = Action Points.) This, to me, makes the most sense from the standpoint of a Cavalry Charge.

As for what blessing is best for Hydras, Nature-Fire-Water is never bad. I don't recall their Magic Resistance, but I'd almost always take Nature so that they berserk. If you can get Earth 9, it might be worth it (it'll help your Mages too).
