@NekrosUmbra you're really only briefly in the puddle to recover health. All of Hydroid's abilities have some CC attached to them, so you can continue your regular gunplay while Kraken & Barrage are controlling the room and you use Tidal Surge to close a gap or knock over some enemies that escaped your grasp.

Seriously, there's no good reason to constantly stay in the puddle. It limits your other abilities and puts an energy drain on you. It's useful for healing and maybe setting up a kraken while you're at it.
