Good idea A Lone Tenno #3. What about giving him a passive that enhances his crowd control though. Since Hydroid is already associated with mythological entities of the depths, I'd give him the passive

'Charybdis': "Whenever Hydroid casts an ability, a whirlpool spawns at the center, dragging enemies towards. Enemies that are knocked down are dragged faster and have their knockdown recovery slowed."

Would greatly enhance his crowd control and it synergizes nicely with most of his abilities. Since the change to range modifiers on his 1, the whirlpool radius could even be modified by range. Another option could be

'Formless Bondage': "Hydroid's abilities can never be blocked from casting, and Hydroid will instantly recover from stagger or knockdown when casting an ability."

It's a more defensive ability like seems to be the theme here. It would mean even when knocked down and surrounded by enemies, you can instantly cast Undertow to save yourself from the Heavy Gunner or Bombard who knocked you down. It also allows Hydroid to cast even inside nullifier bubbles, which would give him that unique ability, as Corpus aren't as heavy on physical crowd control as Grineer and Infested.
