 skelly spam. 
earth meld + stellar cascades. 
Dont fight the hydras.  Run away, trade province for province. 
One he splits, attack using Single focus spells. 
etc.

 Earth meld and similar spells will slow down hydras but can't kill them. For many nations your army will route before they can deal enough damage.
