He is worth it, I don't know why people hate on him so much. I'd say only his first skill is bad

His second skill is great for mobility if modded for power duration, he can travel extremely fast

His third skill gives you invulnerability and can trap an infinite amount of enemies without worrying about losing excess energy, with max efficiency the drain is negligible and you can stay a water trap for a long time (if you are banished you can stay a water trap infinitely and still trap enemies) Also the augment allows you to heal players which is fantastic

4th skill gets you extra loot with the augment, not as good as nekros but really strong when combined with nekros. Also the tentacles do finisher damage which ignores armour and shields, giving it higher damage potential than many other frames

I'd say the main downside to this guy is that he is rather squishy, he can get shot down pretty quick at high levels. I run him with both 3rd and 4th skill augments, high efficiency and strength. That way he can cast tentacles frequently and do high damage and drop extra loot and if he suddenly takes a lot of fire you can quickly become a puddle and heal to full health very cheap
