Warframe | Yea... Hydroid Is AMAZING Now | Steel Path Hydroid Build | 2023

[@kyaii]

Hey everyone! As I talk about a little bit in the outro... This was a lot on me I know this was a little light on editing but I genuinely just wanted to get it out to yall as fast as possible and I hope I achieved that! Definitely will have a follow up video once more dope builds are cemented In the mean time, the itinerary is Dagath tomorrow, shield gate changes after (if no one else does) and then Kullervo Pt. 2 (sorry I couldn't finish it! ended up being longer than I thought it'd be) and more after that! Thank you all. I couldn't do this without you - kyaii

[@kyaii]

it wasnt working that well in actual SP for me

[@Helperishere]

​@@kyaiifor me aswell. I tbh just used Nourish. Hits people with viral, buffs dmg, gives energy, and staggers some. So that's 2 easy status procs for my Hound. I just need to apply 1 more status and then the mod you get from Cetus will cause the cooldowns be reduced by 3 seconds. My Hounds never died while I was playing SP survival due to the buffs.

[@tuii9446]

it just came out today, don’t make up lies about shit u clearly haven’t tested urself💀

[@Hejirah]

you don't need to slap breach surge on everything you know, he's more than fine helminthless

[@Helperishere]

@@Hejirah yes but changing one of his abilities can change a playstyle. I use nourish bc I want to have negative efficiency and have viral procs so I can do viral and corrosive dmg plus whatever I use on my weapon to meet the requirements for the new pet mod that decreases their ability cooldowns if you kill someone with 3 different status applied. Makes it very easy to proc the condition so my Hound is spamming stuff. Never dies bc of it.

[@TheCrimsonElite666]

We never knew he had it in him. He was bullied so mercilessly for being a literal mellow puddle that it drove him to become greedy and caustic to reach his true potential.

[@kreucify]

Hydroid with corrosive / gas electric + exodia force. I tried this and immidiately noticed how busted it is with plunder giving the stacking corrosive damage. Hit a group with his 1, then 3. And start swinging. Was taking down 140 SP gunners in 2 hits. This would be even more broken with wrathful advance. The other thing I want to try is larva on his 2. Paired with archon continuity + larva burst.

[@multiverseecologist1641]

I've been using the ocucor with hydroid for a while because I love the weapon and it would auto aim on the enemies slapping around in the tentacles. Something I worked on after the rework is subsuming Nourish in place of Tidal Surge since Efficiency was my chosen trash stat and the extra viral is nice. With viral on nourish (even though it maxes at one stack), I use corrosive, radiation, and electric on the ocucor to nearly instantly strip enemies of shields and armor even without having to use abilities. From my tests, using nourish and plunder, hydroid can be used in fast paced missions like exterminate, while Tempest barrage and tentacle swarm can be used in a stationary mission types. The build is a bit active since on steel path shields pop like bubbles and if I miss a nourish reapplication, then energy can be a real issue, but as a Hydroid main, I wanna use him on every mission I can.

[@safari99sm]

i think Oberon deserved a rework or buff too!

[@Tcuczikeh]

Chroma as well, they're both pretty outdated

[@XxSTEVE559xX]

I’ve enjoyed Hydroid since his rework years ago as my “fun farm” build but this….this is where the fun begins

[@eclipsehasgonesolo3882]

I replaced his 4th with nourish and I'm running a high strength build with 50% efficiency. Nourish gives viral infusion, his 3rd gives big corrosive damage and combine those with a gas torid and it's a hot knife through butter for steel path. 400% damage from gal. Aptitude + 590% from his 3rd with 100%+ crit and status is just chef's kiss.

[@kajita2048]

Got Umbra set, 4 red shards for 200 duration, 288 strength and just 130% range. It is insanely good with Cocucor and Nautilus, I just love Hydroid now

[@XBullitt16X]

the infinite feedback loop with breach surge is pretty neat.

[@tuii9446]

[@fumi7643]

I never thought I'd see the day hydroid got love again but here we are, now when cross save comes I'll have to get his prime

[@FantasticBadger]

Why wait?

[@One_Moonlit_Night]

Good video. Honestly, as someone who's been maining Hydroid for years, it really does put a smile on my face to see him this good. As far as I've seen a lot of his builds tend to go down similar routes, since there's very specific things he needs but I personally really like Pillage on him. 1. Because well, Pillage and Plunder as names just fits the theme really well and I'm a sucker for that type of deal. 2. The extra overshields, the status cleanse, and the general armor strip fits into his kit like it's right at home without being too fancy. It helps stay alive in Steel Path and it's just overall a convenient ability to have. I just replace the Tidal Wave and it feels good. I would definitely like to see more about his new Augment though, I'm not sure how that works based on the description.

[@Jacob-sh6vp]

I personally leaned heavy into the health tanking setup, new equilibrium kind of made it possible, as well as changes to companions. Arcane blessing, heat elemental ward, 4500 hp and 1900 armour? Yea das a pretty good health tank, molt reconstruct or molt aug depending on what you want, I usually run reconstruct as equi is good but if you don’t run his 4 augment energy can be a little scarce at time for constant healing

[@ShadonicX7543]

new equilibrium? did it change?

[@5limefx498]

I never thought I’d see the day Steel Path and Hydroid would ever be in the same video title in my recommended. A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one.

Dont sleep on using elemental ward with hydroid. It spreads even more elemental damage as well as supporting a tank build with either the heat or cold versions. Ive mostly liked heat myself, but both are useful.

[@OvertSugar3]

i've been playing hydroid with ele ward before the changes and it worked fine already, now using cold EW with around 140% strenght you straight up get 90% DR making him so tanky. Also leaving the option for zenurik energy regen open, unlike gloom. Definitely check out what this guy said

[@cothrone3651]

For the gloom build, why not replace hydroids 2nd ability with gloom instead of his 4, and use his 4 as a sort of “heal station”, so long as its active and damaging enemies you’re basically immortal

[@SanyuSinichi]

because people will prefer to play him with high mobility as weapon platform because he now can buff his weapons with corrosive and easily armor strip with them while using his 2nd as a free "Rolling Guard". For Pilfering Swarm build would be better to helminth his 2nd as you say

[@cothrone3651]

@@SanyuSinichi rolling guard that cost energy is hardly needed in a gloom build, plus mobility isnt really necessary in warframe with frames inherited high mobility

[@SanyuSinichi]

​​​@@cothrone3651What I mean by free "Rolling guard" is that he have free mod slot to put other than Rolling Guard which have cooldown but not with his 2nd. I also think that Tentacle Swarm is not less useful unless you build for Pilfering Swarm compared to Tidal Surge. Tidal surge alone make him invunerable to damage and cleanse himself of all negative status effects with no cooldown. Also with Tidal Impunity, it turns the cost to 15 energy, clear status effect and gives status immunity.

[@tuii9446]

gloom is such a shit option, i bet silence does a better job than anything than gloom and breach

[@justadude5543]

Cause his 4 is fucking trash. And unless you're gonna play conjunction all day, you can't just keep still. 2 might be redundant with gloom, but it has status cleansing, which is way scarier later on.

[@CESR-]

Aye, I'm the same with sparring weapons, I just don't have the patience to find a way of making them work. Just opened a prisma obex riv yesterday, so I might try a wee bit harder now 😂

[@TheBastered]

try Troid incarnon + hydroid's plunder If you have riven mod for the Troid, good for you, if you don't well few replacement might change a bit but as again you can slap down some stats and make sure troid gas grenade for you want turn it to be poison to be viral then leave heat stand alone and make sure the stats last enough long, have hydroid use plunder and it is utter SP enemies's bane because if you build it right making the status effect last longer, you can make the status of "heat" over stack above 1k with in 1-3 min if you didn't use plunder but with plunder, everything is easy murderable now.

[@ezeckial33]

Combine the sickening pulse build with a sentinel of choice, or perhaps a sahasa kubrow with duplex bond set up for slash procs and the bond to spread them. A single slash proc would make all those armor stripped viral primed enemies pop one after one. And then all the energy and health orbs would rain from the sky. And he could get you more energy too if he has to dig it up.

Ohh boy. Cant wait to level cap. I read his kit on paper, and was kinda unimpressed ngl. In practice. It feels really good to use. Use a corrosive+heat epitaph primer to armor strip and proc 7 status effects for CO, pull out a raw viral primary that has multiplicative gunco scaling , like the Felarx, Aeolak, or the Buzlok (favorite AR in the game), and rip the target to shreds…armor strip being part of the priming process is pretty awesome for convenience and adds 1 extra status for dealing our damage, but doesn’t push Hydroid to a top tier for level cap, certainly MUCH better than he was tho. Prolly around B tier for level cap (specifically referring to disruption as cascade is significantly less DPS dependent.
