This rework goes to show that Pablo can keep a frame's theme and play style intact while boosting them to unthinkable heights. Fingers crossed that Frost is in the list soon. I think Pablo could really work some magic.

Hydroid found the One Piece, clearly

[@TH3R34LM]

Not sure of anyone else has figured this out yet, but you can forgo using viral tempest if you use nourish on hydroid and use the diriga sentinel with its arc coil and momentus bond. Nourish carries over to the sentinel and will include viral on the weapon, and therefore arc coil. So you spread viral pretty effectively with the sentinel constantly setting off arc coil near tempest barrage targets.

[@zahariusgallicchio]

Would've been funny as hell if instead of "Corrosive strips all armor" it was "Corrosive strips all but *1* armor." Really let that 500% Corrosive Damage boost cook with the +75%(multiplicative, don't forget) from health type.

[@RBRSC]

If you're going for full out damage, PLunders the obvious Helminth out for specifically that reason. (Take your pick on Roar/Ecliipse/Xatas/Nourish, or Smite/Thermal). Probably in general even, because you have to dedicate so much buildwork to make a frame thats not a Health tank into one for the armour to matter, and the perm-strip is basically pointless as things will always be 10 Corrosived from his 1 (and/or dead)

[@marcosdheleno]

@@RBRSC his 1 is great, but it takes time to build up the corrosive proc to 10, its not instantaneous at all. sometimes enemies wont even get the full stack either.

When you started talking about Plunder replacing Undertow, the display video showing Undertow made me laugh harder than it should have. Happy Oceanman is good now. Good vid.👍

[@specimendelta]

Sickening pulse seems to work pretty well on him since it's basically an immediate full armor strip and can max out plunder's buff

[@Trinti11]

Interesting to put Umbral Vitality with Arcane Blessing. I have a similar build but using Rousing Plunder instead of Umbral Vital - Arc Blessing and Adaptation are enough survivablity with a Synth Fiber pet

[@matowakan]

its mostly for the set bonus with intensify + more health

[@Helperishere]

I personally go for loads of armor on my archon shards and build armor arcanes. Makes my Hound pet unkillable and in turn it makes me unkillable.

@unlucky1307 I want my loki to murder stuff. His passive, clone, and swap aren't combat useful, and disarm doesn't do enough damage

[@RossKyle95]

Clone if it didn’t have health would be viable due to aggro draw if you place it right it’s very powerful in aggro use and swapping , sadly switch teleport needs augment to be always viable due to it being a rolling guard effectively , his kit is old but I’d say inaros first for reworks

@Brozime if you want a healing arcane, maybe try Molt Reconstruct? Especially, with Blind Rage. The more energy spent = more healing. And if you want to ability spam say his 1, could be nice.

[@Emreakca-]

thats smart but when you can just heal with your operator it sounds like a waste of an arcane slot

[@Flashman024]

@@Emreakca- I actually agree with you there, but Brozime was talking about maybe running a healing arcane for the frame and mentioned Grace: which is harder to get, more expensive to buy and is chance based to even work. So I just wanted to mention another option.

Notable that you dont need viral tempest if you have nourish

[@Discount_Llama]

If you want his 1 to apply Viral, you need the augment

he seems now more flexible with minor changes. when consider its a 5 forma warframe it still not to bad. what could be a factor that one can adjust to get slight better preformance is lower slightly the particale amount in the game. that is if it runs moderate or higher partical setting if set it to low can help a bit.

[@supershadowfan2000]

If I choose not use helminth on Hydroid will this build still be viable?

[@Gnurklesquimp2]

His 1 still blows me away. It is 1handed. Use Nourish and 3, hold the Torid trigger, spam 1. (Preferably with 1 augment, I put HM on Torid so a DoT kills off chain survivors without picking them off manually) Get yourself a teammate so you also have Breach Surge, both your Viral + 100% strip Corrosive Torid and 1 alike make surge sparks absolutely devastating. Add Roar to that if the overkill wasn't enough, boy the math in this game gets evil. (Or you can dump some str that way) It seems to me his 1 AND Breach Surge can headshot with a multi too, wtf. I HIGHLY recommend Brief Respite on 1 spam builds.

[@kieferpugh9436]

Wait wait wait. With his 3 then 1 and the 1’s agument would you get full armor strip (cause of his passive) extra damage to the corrosive and then viral as well all in one ability. Like WTF.

[@Alivair]

If you were gonna use his 4 aug, playing with a team, would swapping out the 1 aug be decent?

[@Malkavon]

If you're running in a group, you shouldn't really need the extra damage that his 1 aug provides, so there shouldn't be any issues with making that swap. The 1 aug is only needed (as Brozime explains in the vid) to provide enough extra oomph to comfortably kill Steel Path enemies quickly.

[@NGFRIZZ]

Is nourish needed or is the better options?

[@crushavg]

It's needed if you follow the build as he has it because he's wasting slots on Umbral Vitality and Primed Flow, which leaves no room for energy economy and shoehorns the build into Nourish + Siphon to essentially duct tape it together. Drop Umbral Vitality and Primed Flow for Equilibrium and Rousing Plunder or another augment of your choice. Lycath's Hunt and Fractured Blast are both fantastic for the subsume slot and will easily provide infinite energy through Equilibrium as well as quickly stack up Arcane Blessing. This will also allow you to use an actually useful aura mod like Growing Power. Mod a weapon for viral + heat and you're good to go.

[@stealthninja4195]

I like using breach surge. Since his 1 counts as headshots which can nuke a small area and does a shit ton of damage

@Brozime On your website you still rank Hydroid as "F Tier". You should change that 🤔😜

Yeah without nourish this build bleeds energy without any real way to get it back and I still don't have Grendel to subsume so I can't even get this so not sure how to make this work unless I dump a mod for some kind of efficiency or something.
