Built the Prime after not having played Hydroid for a year and I am not disappointed! Reworked Hydroid is really nice! His abilities synergise and chain together really nicely now, CC is a breeze because of it, and he's just flat-out fun to play! Welcome back, my favourite Hentai Pirate :D

If you're thinking of trying him out, don't listen to the people who compare him to Nekros, though. Nekros is boring AF and the only real similarity they have is bonus loot drops (Terrify can't even compare to Hydroid's CC arsenal). I prefer to think of Hydroid as the opposite of Zephyr - While Zephyr is mobility with a bit of CC, Hydroid is CC with a bit of mobility in Tidal Surge. What I really love about the rework though is Hydroid can do a bit of stealth in a pinch. Being able to dash about in Undertow  (which counts as being undetectable) is great for slipping in and out of places (not a hentai joke), with the added bonus of being able to relocate or just kill enemies you don't want there.

In summary, Hydroid is an awesomely fun jack-off-all-trades with more of a lean to CC. Don't expect him to kill much with his abilities alone, but once you realise he's more about managing crowds and setting UP kills, you'll go far :D

Easily in my top five favourites, alongside Ivara, Gara, Titania and Zephyr.
