The Typhon's Veil is a strictly Hydra-oriented set, and the entirety of its bonuses revolve around enhancing the skill's utility and damage bonuses, as well as introducing a damage reduction mechanic tied to its use. When considering this set, take into account the full 6-piece investment, as well as synergistic items like Serpent's Sparker and The Magistrate, to make full use of its bonuses.

• 2-piece bonus
  • Double the duration of Hydras and increase the number of heads on multi-headed Hydras by two.
• 4-piece bonus
  • Damage taken is reduced by 8% for each Hydra head alive. Each time you take damage, a head dies. A head cannot die more than once every 2 seconds.
• 6-piece bonus
  • Hydras deal 1300% increased damage for each Hydra head alive.

The 2-piece bonus of The Typhon's Veil set doubles the duration of the Hydra summons — from the base 15 seconds, to a whopping 30-second duration. It also doubles the head count of multi-headed Hydra runes, going from 3 to 6; this notably eschews the last rune, Mammoth Hydra, which is a single-headed summon.

The 4-piece bonus of The Typhon's Veil set offers a novel take on the "halving of incoming damage" necessity of Diablo 3 sets by offering damage reduction per living Hydra head, with the added condition that each time you take damage, a Hydra head dies (at a cap of one head per 2 seconds). This encourages safer, mid-to-long distance play with the Hydra build, and demands that you actively track the number of living Hydra heads at any given time — actively resummoning before you lose too much DR.

The 6-piece bonus of The Typhon's Veil set is a straightforward damage scaling bonus, multiplying your DPS for each living Hydra head. Much like the 4-piece damage reduction bonus, this necessitates that you keep track of the condition of your Hydras, and recast frequently.
