What do you think about the new Hydroid?
from meme to meta its price literrally took a 40-60plat increased
I love Hydroid
He's my new main, he can 100% armor strip with just his weapons alone. Literally plundered the meta as a true pirate captain should~ 🗿
Its been 10 rounds of Oro, i still havent gotten his systems
As a man who likes Japanese tentacle videos, i like him a LOT !!!!
DE seriously needs to let Pablo cook more often. He turned my Squid Boi here from zero to hero so I'm hopeful that Pablo can do the same for Inaros and Caliban in the near future.
Oooh yes I would love a freshly cooked sand soup ^^
Wish granted, Pablo is reworking caliban
@@bluewrldZ004 along with Trinity and Nyx from what Reb said. Can't wait to see what the Chef has cooked up. 🍻
Warframe community: I thought you were dead...
Hydroid: My Death was greatly exaggerated...
For anyone in 2024, Hydroid's 2 now removes all negative status effects as well, without needing an augment mod
Returning to the game and hearing that my main went from bottom of the barrel to the top is.. nice
Awesome! Perfect timing for your return i'd say ^^
dude same. I've also just heard that Inaros got a rework and I literally got back to the game TODAY
My two mains are apparently not F tier anymore lmao
We need to let Pablo into the kitchen more often
Yeah, he made some good Octopus Rings here :D
Dude is definitely cookin.
I've had Hydroid ever since 2014 and upgraded to his prime when that released, but never bothered to do more with him than level him and use him for loot alongside my friend running Nekros. After the update, I tried him out on SP Yuvarium (Lua) and he was having NO problems clearing enemies or staying alive. Was using the Helminth ability Sickening Pulse over his 2, to instantly armor strip any enemies affected by his 1 or 4, Rousing Plunder for healing on top of armor, and the Bubonico for my primary, using alt fire for trash mobs and primary fire to clear beefier targets. Did 3 40 min runs in one night and it was the most fun I've ever had playing Warframe in 9 years, outside of quests. Never thought I'd hear myself say it, but I just might be a Hydroid main now.
Happy to hear that you're having such a good time with him ^^
Hydroid is the best now dude
Been a hydroid main since he came out, I deserved this buff
you, 100% were not a hydroid main. If this would be true, there are only 2 options, either you are MR 8 since 2014, since he couldn't do any of the content since 2019. Or you were a puddle main rather than a hydroid main, in which case you would hate this new hydroid.
None the less, as a Hydroid enjoyer myself, I agree this is deserved.
Haha true indeed :D
@@leSmokySmoke The trick to high level content with old Hydroid was to have OP weapons; those being Nami Skyla, Paris Mk1, and Vasto. and my perfect movement. Combined with the best mods, Gloom, and Umbra formas on him and Nami Skyla and I was unstoppable. You must just suck at moving, they can’t one shot you if they can’t hit you. I’m the best Hydroid player in the world. And I was only in my puddle when I’m doing spy missions, I’ll miss being the best stealth frame.
I need to say this, you are one of the best or the best creator content in this site for warframe. Thanks
Oooh wow thank you so much for the awesome compliment ❤️
Really happy to hear that you enjoy my stuff so much. It really means a lot ❤️
Also why is your Kuva Karak so freaking goated
buying hydroid from varzia was the best decision i've made in warframe ever. such a gigantic spike in power compared to excal
I accidentally went into Steel Path with an unoptimized build on him and didn't notice until halfway into the mission because it felt like breezing through the regular star chart. Suffering through all those invincible bugged prosecutors and Vay Hek frequency triangulators to farm him eight years ago finally paid off.
Tidal surge is his best ability tho Especially when it comes to his Tidal surge Augment that clears all status and grants 12s of status Immunity for yourself and allies that come in contact with it and reduces Tidal surges energy cost to 15.
Yea idk why he’s replacing that ability 4th is definitely the weakest
I wish plunder was hydorids helminth ablity on rihno
The best warframe channel on TH-cam
Facts
I completely disagree his 2 is one of the best things in his kit.
You can use your 2, and ragdoll enemies into a corner pop 3 then 1, rinse and repeat. (Don't recast 3 unless needed)
Sure you can subsume it for somthing like PULL, AIR JAB, or BREACH SURGE.
But I think subsumeing his 4 for somthing like GLOOM is far better for his health tanking play style
Plus his 2nd aguments is rolling gaurd on demand for you, and your team for cheap mod cost
It sounds like to me you haven't used it enough to appreciate it. That one ability can carry you through steel path by its self with the agument.
I wish people wouldn't just jump to insert subsume ability here.
Man, your vidos r fire! I am coming back to warframe after long 3 years, and your wids help me stay sane in all new stuff! Thx 4 the job ur doing! ❤
Picked up hydroid for the Mahoraga cosplay, stayed for the frame being a great one❤️
I just came back to play after a long while and I'm so glad Hydroid got rework! he is not doing so well before but now I'm sure he can performs really well. (I still wish Tempest Barrage was effect by range like before, so when you have negative range you can do a spot bombardment )
I can confirm, Hydroid is crazy right now. Brilliant and fun 😉
@@MHBlacky_ENG well, this rework a have small side effect, Acolytes Torment (the one you can find in steel path) that use the same skill Hydroid use now also get buffed as well as deal a corrosive debuff.
I like Pilfering swarm on every build because it increases energy drops, basically ensuring you never run out
you deserve the like! I really like how your videos are created because they are easily digestable and entertaining
When I played the game for the first time earlier in the year I saw a Hydroid and my jaw dropped. Big fan of pirate stuff so really wanted him. Started the game up again and seeing he is a good frame now makes me ultra happy.
Now the only Thing missing is the New "how to never die in warframe guide" im really looking forward to that
Play revenant and cast his 2, easy immortal build lol
Something im not seeing anyone talk about with Plunder is that not only does it increase Corrosive damage it ADDS Corrosive to your weapon damage. So you can run viral+heat and with Plunder also have Corrosive
3:42 thanks now i get while some ennemies count and some doesn't
No problem ;) Trust me, there's a reason it took me half a week to come up with this vid... I had to do quite some testing to understand certain things xD
WOOOOOOOOO HYDROID!!!
Been running him with Nourish for the energy economy and *even more* damage.
This frame is absolutely absurd as a weapons platform.... that also gets you extra loot and CCs with no need of a stat stick like Khora.
Top 3 frame in the game at current, maybe top 1 now that we've had more time with him
Here's an offer
Lose tentacle slam
Gain innate corrosive damage
......and Hydroid took the offer.....
Haha that must be what happened :😀
@@MHBlacky_ENG Kannst du mal bitte erklären, wie man den Rhino als Anfänger spielen soll, ohne bereits alle Mods zu haben, Meisterschaftsrang 30 zu sein oder Arkana zu besitzen?
Denn ich komme mit Meisterschaftsrang 5 nicht auf 300k Rüstung, sondern nur maximal 3000 Ironskin!
Ein richtiger Guide, Punkt für Punkt, wäre gut.
Got him years ago becuase pirate.... didn't know he WAS bad
Tidal surge with Nourish and catalyzing shield is working great for me.
Are you using the normal Hydroid or the Prime?
I personally didn't try the normal one but with 465 max Shields I think he'd be better suited for a Catalyzing Shields Build than the Prime with 650...
FYI the augment for plunder will provide u over 100 health per enemy which also depends on ur ability strength so when ur health get lower press 3
His first with the augment being his helminth is crazy
Yeah, that's what I'm thinking aswell xD
In my opinion he became a S tier warframe. If you build him to strength he literally have 2.000 armor which is more than wukong has and he can full strip armor under like 3 sec + hes 4th ability is pretty good crowd control and has 100% chance to drop another loot if you have the pilfering swarm augment. Hes 2 is also good because it's remove any status effect + you are invulenerable while you are doing it. I didn't even put a forma into him and i did a 30 min sp mot survival without dying and every enemy just died instantly because hes plunder ability gives 512% corrosive damage to your weapons which is incredible. LOVE THE REWORK.
I would honestly say that I much prefer Growing Power. With innate corrosive on every weapon thanks to Plunder, I’d say Corrosive Projection has less of a use. Especially when some weapons only take a split second to reach 10 corrosive stacks.
Speaking of, building into that for free strength for more damage boosting and armour with growing power makes the most sense to me. Just my personal opinion though!
absolutely love your content bro
Oh wow thank you so much for the generous tip ❤️
Very happy to hear that you enjoy my content so much, Bro :D
For maintaining Hydroid in water theme I'd swap Tidal Wave with Aquablades. Full stripped enemies encountering heavy slash is chef's kiss
Pablo cooked him well, his rework was actually better then Grendel, and Grendel post-rework is already insanely good but unfortunately people just subsume him for Nourish since it is technically too powerful, and gradually forget how stronger he becomes. But in Hydroid case i might not happen like that
Yes, I fully agree. Hydroid is crazy good now :O
If he is so good with armour strip wouldn’t growing power as aura be the way better choice?
Nice content! Been seeing some vids from the channel, keep at it! In my opinion, warframe is getting more and more of a playerbase, so this types of videos are really fun!
Aaaw thank you ❤️
Happy to hear that you like my stuff ^^
I hope that crosssave and mobile next year will expand the community even further ^^
I love Hydroid now. My friend just realized why I use swarm in excavations. I sometimes drop 2 batteries without the mod, but always drop 2 with the mod, from 1 enemy. I use the Tempist mod usually though. I solo most things with Hydroid but I wanted to see if I could make a C build, for something different.
What makes us warframe players happy: seeing more numbers
Haha yes xD There must be so many that you can't read a single one anymore 😀
@@MHBlacky_ENG !!!!!😮💨😂😂😂
Another important change is that Hydroid's 4 no longer whacks the enemies all over the place and instead holds them in place
Yes, indeed. That's practical ^^
Though with his 1 being so busted now, the old 4 wouldn't have been that much worse either probably xD
Hydroid - the new Grineer SP obliterator
From useless to a monster, I love it
9:05 ability setup
this man is insanely helpful for WF
i miss the drowning puddle
Has anyone tried blood altar for Hydroid? Since his kit is tailored towards a "zone control" type of playstyle, having a zone within his 4 or 1's AOE that heals you sounds like a pretty good idea and is less energy intensive than Gloom?
Hey! Yeah I've tested it, but i don't think it does enough because hydroid wants more than healing. I've tested most subsumes on hydroid, and I've really taken a shining to dispensary.
Because hydroid is basically a AC-130, you really want to be able to spam your 1. But he also generates a lot of armour too. So the solution (in my testing and personal opinion) is to use dispensary with equilibrium and arcane blessing.
The health orbs stack the arcane, giving you heaps of health and healing and energy orbs are self explanatory. You'll never die, you'll never run out of energy, and with his 1 augment, you'll never have any trouble killing with viral and corrosive in 1 aoe ability.
He's not mesa, you won't win any DPS speedruns, but he will absolutely last in any of the content you bring him too. In fact, with corrosive and viral on your 1 as a dps aoe tool, you could very easily adapt brief respite and some augur mods into the mix and take him to level cap
ich bin echt jedes mal von deinem englisch beeindruckt. nicht nur super verständlich, auch redewendungen und für deutsche teils unübliche satzbauten, die im englischen natürlich sinn machen beherrscht du.
echt krass als deutscher.
woher beherrscht du diese skills?
thumbs up. follow haste eh shcon ewig :D
Even tho I don't play wf anymore I really enjoy your content
Aaaaaw that makes me super happy ^-^
Glad to have you here
Haven’t played hydroid ever, but I do see him in my steel path missions. He’s kinda stationary.
I main xaku with nourish replacing his 1. I haven’t seen a frame that comes close to his clear, that I have played. Dagath comes close though, maybe just as good but I only have 3 forma in her. Her kit is so damn good as is.
I agree, Xaku is crazy :D
But I feel like for SP until lvl 300 Hydroid can be just as good 😉
so good seeing hydroid back to life
Absolutely :D
Note to DE : to bring amprex back alive whilst almost keeping attention to incarnons , ….incarnon amprex , hella lightning strikes when shot, instant volt must have
If there was a warframe that definetly DIDNLT need pillage or condemn, its Hydroid.
10:24 full build thank me later
Underrated
0:09 SUMS UP EVERYTHING
i replaced his 2 ability with nourish from the hemlight and i get like 115 energy per orb.
Haha yeah, Nourish is crazy :D
Can u make a begginer build
Great vid:)
Thank you! Glad you liked it
I’m definitely seeing alot of Hydroid out there. I love using him in Duviri circuit
His 2 is one of the best abilities in the game and it’s amped up even more with the augment giving status immunity for a duration for you AND your teammates and it groups, procs corrosive, status cleanse and I-frames. Pablo magic is real and people saying it’s bad are bad.
PS: I forgot to mention that the augment reduces the cost of the 2 and I would rather replace the 4 and I know that I’m not the only one that thinks that the 2 is broken.
Haha damn, I finally need to look into his rework. Been too busy with Mag enjoying new 2.5s shield gate constantly 🤣
Love the video and the channel and congrats on 70k. I don't agree with getting rid of the second ability. It gets rid of status and gives around 2 seconds of invulnerability. That is my survivability instead of Gloom. I added health and shields through my companion along with adaptation. If a status ends up on me or shields go down just tap 2. I know people are going to think I am crazy but the first ability will be what I get rid of. It is fine if you just want to hit 1 over and over. It doesn't do a permanent armor strip so I would rather hit 3 once get all that damage and fire away. There is an argument to get rid of 4 also but occasionally it does come in handy.
Now I don’t get bullied for saying “I own hydroid”
Thanks for the vid :)
Hahaha man, you've been going through a lot for sure. Now it's your time to shine
Now I have another favourite warframe. The new Hydroid is also pretty good at Lich hunting.
By the way, I like your Hydroid's look. Is that a syandana or a skin? :)
Yes, after the rework he also became one of my absolute favourites ❤️
The look is the deluxe skin and the jacket he wears over the shoulders comes with it as an auxiliary slot. You can switch it on or off and even combine it with a Syandana if you like 😉
@@MHBlacky_ENG Thanks!
Hydroid was always the warframe we wanted to be good but just wasn't.. now he's great!!
It took a long time but it was worth the wait ^^
I appreciate this video, gave me a better understanding on a lot
ur 2 cleanses status effects groups enemys has s and the augment lets u have status immunity scaling of duration and giving it to allies and u can jump yo cancel it early
WHAT U MEAN IT AINT GOOD
Literally my thoughts when he said that
Fuckin love hydroid now
yeah, this is a super useful build, really thanks, but i have still a couple of questions
this are just questions not requests
will you make a grendel prime build video?
what about all other frames that are in the game?
and the last one is what about the pet/sentinel rework?
Heyho, thank you for the lovely feedback ❤️ I'm happy that you found it helpful ^^
Grendel will get some spotlight aswell at some point but I don't have specific plans yet.
Other Frames will of course also come. There's so much to talk about ^^
At the moment I have some half-finished videos to complete and then I wanna do a deep dive into companions now that the rework is out 😉
I get it, also this update was really big and it is really hard ot cover all in a fast way as good as you do,
also really thanks for the answer and the content@@MHBlacky_ENG
They got rid of the puddle :(
The puddle was useless.
@@thecastleofnothing7074it was goofy fun
@@mbk0mbkone of the most fun abilities in the game imo
They could’ve combined them, keep puddle and make it to wear you hold the same ability or whatever to do what it does now
Just wanted to say your umbra excalibur colors are just awesome! I like it a lot! And knowing you’re german…your english is top notch! I’d never say you’re german hearing you 😂
hey blacky im finally back in warframe thanks to you been watching you from longer ago at your old chanel wanted to thank you and wanted to skd you if you can make a build video about the attica??
Hey, not bad changes.. Although, it seems they kinda just changed his 4 to Nezha 4. Does the same thing just corrosive instead of fire.
true, they should combine tidal surge and undertow and make it the same as wukong cloud walker, but only in ground
I think health gating from me since I already like gloom and I do not understand shield gating when health is your life source and there are enemies that directly attack your health
I absolutely loath the Helmith system.
Any alterations to the build you can recommend without using a sub ability?
I have a build that survives with his health alone, except instead of redirection add adaptation, an archon shard for more armor, arcane guardian, augment for his 3rd, and viral tempest. There you go i health tank with him in steel path up to mobs lv2k didnt bother to go higher, for the rest of archon shards you can opt for more health duration, dmg or whatever suits you!
Suggested change for the wave ability. Just make it like Ember’s fireball. An instant cast summons a wave to push enemies. A charged cast turns you into the wave. Just a thought. I’m assuming DE already thought of this but still.
That or make the charged version summon a wave that pushes enemies toward you instead of away.
Ooooh now that would be absolutely amazing :D
Only issue with Tidal surge is that it moves way too fast to actually control. If they just slow it down a little bit it'll be a great ability
Why is Hydroid still the last of the B tier in overframe after the rework?
Honestly I have a lot of questions regarding the Overframe tierlist...
I believe the old votes carries over. Overframe has a lot of concern and I wouldn't be surprised if certain warframes got hundreds of hate votes when they're released to jump on any bandwagon.
Overframe is not a reliable website for warframe information, and tier lists are an awful way of disseminating information; ESPECIALLY in warframe. You are way better off talking to real people and players who actively play the game. Every time I see someone play an obscure frame like oberon or vauban, I always message them asking for builds and advice, and they are always willing to help. And the people with several hundred hours playing a single frame are the people you want your builds from
another quality work from pablo
I imagine Tidal surge is mostly for co-op groups enemies together and set them up for a teammate yo let loose while they're stunned for a moment
You can just use tempest on that group
I'm sure the team will appreciate ^^
congrats on 70k road to 100k
None of this would've been possible without all the support fomr you and the rest of the community.
I really can't thank you all enough
70k lets go
Thank you! Yeah, I'm absolutely amazed by all the consistent support I'm getting from all of you and I can't thank y'all enough
Just bought him for like 120p I hope it's worth it
If its the normal version... WHY its one of the easiest to grind
@@swap6964 um the prime version of course dude
i regret selling hydroid prime that was given for free on twitch
I went to use Hydroid after a long time of not and I just had no idea what I was doing, Still don't.

Time to dust my 0 forma hydroid prime
So I'm dumb and put greens on him. Then I also randomly made his color yellow... My teammates were not happy.
Orokin cell farm king
Played back when he just came out and got the frame and stopped playing after. Started playing last week again after a few years and he was still in my vault, been playing with this frame and very happy and see this video, now I got a build to work towards...!
I Used Equilibrium With Arcane Blessing Was Actually Very Good Combination Along With Adaptation
Yes, a good combination, indeed ^^
New meta: Primed Sure Footed, Fast Deflection, Arcane Aegis and Arcane Barrier.
I disagree with needing gloom for health tanking. I havent been using it and have been perfectly fine in steel path
Whats your build? Ive been struggling with mine rn
@@danielfoster4858 Blind Rage, Adaption, stretch, Umbral Intensify, Flow/Primed Flow, Continuity/Primed COntinuity, Rousing Plunder and Viral Tempest. Aura and Exilus are personal preference, I use growing power and preperation.
You also need to replace his 2 with Nourish. You cant really get around this because the way i play him he is very very power hungry.
Basic gameplay loop looks like this:
Find a group of enemies, Cast Tentecle Swarm for crowd control and to give everything at least 1 corrosive stack. Cast Plunder to build up armor and increase corrosive damage. Cast Nourish so you can get your energy back and proc viral on everything. I use Tempest Barrage situationally. If there are a group of enemies coming through a doorway or something, you can cast it once or twice on that spot to just kill them all. I also use it to take down tankier targets.
Arcane Energize really helps this build if you have it. Molt Efficiency is also really nice.
You want to be using a weapon that has really high status chance to get the most out of hydroids ability to fully armor strip. Your weapon does not need to be modded for corrosive damage because when you cast plunder, your weapon will gain corrosive damage for the durration of the effect. I use phantasma modded to do heat, radiation and viral. While plunder is active most enemies just fall over.
WTB Inaros rework.
Right now:
1: Pocket Sand!
2: Tickle mob
3: What's this do? I Helminthed it off...Twirly boy? Sounds right.
4: Sac health for charges...then it leeches health or something? I know with the aug, you lose stacks to prevent statuses...yay.
Passive: Die fancier than other people because there's no way in hell this coffin is gonna kill anything.
Seriously, the Health tank needs a big rework.
I subbed to the channel...Nice effect when I did, the button went all glowy. Neat.
He needs over shield worked in like kullervo, this would definitely be a start.
Pillage squad for the win
He can now do 119m dmg apparently
Haven't gotten there yet, but this sounds very much like a Breach Surge Subsume :P
@@MHBlacky_ENG xironium made a video titled it
Always played Hydroid cuz allot of fun but this update made Hydroid even more fun👍
Wow, if you found him fun before already then I cannot imagine how amazing he must feel for you now :D
@@MHBlacky_ENG Gonna try out the build in this vid soonish :) thanks!
How did you group with the mutalist cernos? That looked pretty cool
nvm It was the ability of the proboscios T-T
I tried him in simulacrum with lv150 enemies... with felarx...
where enemies?
Just started and hydroid grabbed my eye as a marine scientist student he is the only water frame need I say more?
yarelli
There's 2, actually
But only one that matters
3:50 nah, without that augment u cant use archon intensify
