You can also watch my previous video on Tatsu Prime if you want more details about the melee build. It goes over Tennokai and other setup. Here are couple of potential FAQs 1. Why no range mods on Hydroid? Well, you definitely do not want a massive Swarm CC-ing enemies across a rooms. Most will get stuck, out of reach and it'll slow down incoming spawn rate. In a typical room, you'll have one path that'll funnel like 50% of the enemies, and 2 others that'll do 25% each, use Swarm in that 50% path, and spam Barrage near the other 2. So you'll have one group to farm loot, and other to keep area occupied so you don't get swarmed! Even for loot farm, the optimal strategy is to camp a tunnel and kill what is right in front of you. 2. You don't want to or can't use Arcane Strike - Then consider swapping Carnis with Berserker Fury. 3. Do you really need Blessing if you're already using Umbral Vitality? You don't necessarily need it but it can be a huge live saver the longer you fight, but you can swap it with something else, perhaps Molt Augmented or Arcane Grace.
I love it for sure! I love the new Hydroid. I'm currently getting Green shards for my other frames for my Phantasma so they can mimic a fraction of his power 🤣
This is a beautiful build, and one I absolutely have to try out. I'd love to see an updated SP nova build - Personally I've been using Pillage as an armour strip for her since it scales with duration. 2 casts, no armour.
Perfect although for me I'd change 1 mod on the azothane, prob the spring loaded blade for berserker rage, just for the 70% attack speed, personal preference as I like a faster swing. If not the range then change carndis mandable as its already 50% slash
Question: you say to push IPS towards slash, but it was my understanding that external elemental buffs behave just like mods, so both Plunder and Nourish will tank your slash weight anyway. So why bother? I feel like the normal swings are just there to prime elements and proc tennokai for the forced proc slash on heavy, no?
I have a build that uses his viral tempest as well getting viral and radiation, i I replaced his 2 with chyrianka pillar for slow and Radiation, then use the vermisplicer for gas and cold with the arcane that creates an electric field. Pretty nasty combined with the Xoris I’m doing gas procs for well over 800k easy while they are full armor stripped and fighting each other anyway very fun build.
i'm not doing triple umbral, but i can do duo. I'd be interested to try using Arcane Steadfast instead of Arcane Strike. you didn't mention the exilus mod which i'm assuming your doing Primed Sure Footed or Handspring. I'm going to do Power Drift and do Constitution since only doing two of the three umbral mods which also makes up for the lost power strength in not using all three Umbral mods. Otherwise i'd use Handspring and just slot in Auger Secrets for the duality of "regaining" that PS and anything i cast gives me overshield.
My test to see if a build is good doesn’t involve end cap. Can I do this build casually while watching Netflix in steel path for an hour solo? The build I found that does this the best is fractal crush nourish mag using a kuva ogris. Make sure to keep pull and subsume her 3. Armor strip with over shield . Pull everything to your ogris. Nourish compliments the ogris and the spammy nature of the build.
yes, just play shieldgate. stacking armor+hp only works on base steel path, while shieldgate works vs any level enemy at all times and with nourish, -eff and hydroids naturally low cast time, you can always spam something comfortably to top up shields. as a rule of thumb, never copy those umbral/hp/armor builds, they just don't work reliably in their current state.
I've found tempest + nourish + neutral efficiency to be more than enough, especially with some blue shards. I personally don't like blind rage on hydroid
I hate his tentacle. It's such a bad team ability since it makes targeting those enemies impossible for single target abilities that require a target lock like landslide or wrathful advance. The result is that people playing those frames run away from the tentacles and mess up the survival by spreading out the spawns. I'll be adjusting this to work without it.
Im gonna give you my advice, you dont need clean audio these days even the most badic but useable editor like capcut has noise reduction AI that will work with any mic. if your pc sounds like dying and you need it. Most peope are too lazy to read everything and you are losing some viewers by not narrating.

What ability did you put nourish over on hydroid
@distantobserver ?
@@ihatescamousually people override his 2. Almost guaranteed here or you can’t use plunder or barrage and tentacle swarm. So tide must be it.
@@NebulaSparrow do you know what stance is he using on azothane?
@@ihatescamo there’s only one for two handed nikana, Wise Razor.
I pray for the day we get another stance for the big nikanas x.x
I remember when the stance used to be so good but now it just feels bad
regarding the range i totally agree, 20cm can make a huge difference on how much fun youre having
Hydroid has been my main since his rework. Having free armor strip+viral for everything is so fucking good. And you can make him look like Mahoraga.
I love it for sure! I love the new Hydroid. I'm currently getting Green shards for my other frames for my Phantasma so they can mimic a fraction of his power 🤣
Wait how do you get that mahoraga look? is it with the deluxe skin?
@@KrokusOfDagonprobably the tentacle tennogen helmet skin
But not against Demolisher, he still need 1 shard for the strip
i don't have hydroid or azothen. i don't have most of these but i like this.
music and editing is top as always 👍

You're correct. What we really need is a better stance for force proccing slash
youve made me realize i want a warframe style JJK game.
Bro. This a was top tier informative video.

Sounds like a good test to find out if a build can be used while semi-afk, but it seems weird to use this to define whether a build is good or not.
is their an alternative to the umbral mods?
yes, just play shieldgate. stacking armor+hp only works on base steel path, while shieldgate works vs any level enemy at all times and with nourish, -eff and hydroids naturally low cast time, you can always spam something comfortably to top up shields. as a rule of thumb, never copy those umbral/hp/armor builds, they just don't work reliably in their current state.
Hey I have a question, what would be the best in slot for this build when it comes to archon shards? full red with ability strenght i imagine?
Instead of Nourish is there a way to fit in his tempest augment with equilibrium?
I've found tempest + nourish + neutral efficiency to be more than enough, especially with some blue shards. I personally don't like blind rage on hydroid
did you put 3 umbras into Hydroid? I cant fit blind rage and I gave hi 2 ubra formas.(2 are worth it but 3????! no!)
well actually I have PSF on the exilus but it has a vazarin polarity!
Do you have updated build link
Your videos are amazing.
I love the azorhane and want the use it but is annoying to make good
But an 4th ability augmented Mag strips everyone’s total armor instantly..
Isn't condition overload 80%? or am i missing something?
It is 80% for each unique status type affecting an enemy.
@@Glamador Yeah, i got confused cause his on his mod screen is 120% and i wasnt at home to check it.
Incoming nightmare frame and the rest of the community stealing this 😂
DistantObserver, I love your content. You're easily top 5 WF content creators. But can you plz just get an ai voice or a mic. PLEASE
Read... It makes You grow, evolve, improve
I actually like the text instead. Ai voices are better now but still artificial. And text is easier to follow.
@JanterCyrano I spend the time I could be staring a screen reading actual books. TH-cam is for listening in the car or while farming.
Can you not post any more fun and cool builds please? Im almost out of forma broooo LMAO
