kraken, and the best counter is to finish them off before they hit heroic...
go hard in classical with arrow ships and finish them fast, or make 3 arrow ships stay on defense, and rush to heroic, bring in a few crush ships with hammer ship backup...
those IMO are the best ways.

How do you counter water myth units with no water myth units?

I would say that Scylla might be better than Kraken due to the fact that they cost gold, and food is the most intensive resource for a myth unit to cost

Scylla usually don't get 5 heads, but I agree that the low favor cost, the Greeks ability to control their own favor, very fast training time as well as the previously stated gold cost. But, the Argo sucks because water battles never lasts till mythic in 1 vs 1. Maybe in team games

i disagree completely on 5 heads making the scylla better..
think about it in terms of usage, not who would beat who 1 on 1.
A kraken has a special attack that hits multiple units together, and i sure hope you won't be fighting just 1 unit, or else you are in some very lowly rated games, or they really just don't want water...
when you make scylla if you are full scylla spam, then you will have each being hit altogether by the kraken, and the longboat backup which is sure to be there...
also, 3 scylla vs 3 kraken i am about 85% sure the kraken would win...
1 on 1, scylla is good, but 1 on 1 is not a realistic situation, in my opinion that is.

hmm they'd be best 1 on 1, i'm still debating the who is better usagewise though. lol.
i still vote kraken.. especially considering longboats>all other arrow ships.

If I have to Leviathin, I will use it to transport units. I say that the Kraken is the best practicly, I don't have Titan's Expansion, so I don't know what the Neriod does, but one on one, the Neriod would win, based on this sites descriptions.

Kraken. Their ability to sink ships as a special attack is truly amazing. And to counter them, your best bet will be Heroic Fleet or The Argo.
