Hydroid became my main in no time. If you play it well, you hardly (never) die. You can create a choke point with reduced range Barrage AND at the same time create another one with Swarm. Angry mob raping your pod/ally/Kubrow? Tidal Wave the hell out of them. Man, even if you cast a horrible Swarm you can drag the enemy to the AoE with Tidal Wave. If you have both skills on cooldown and one mate falls, you can Undertow by his soon-to-be-dead body so another mate can rev him.

With a Strength/Reduced Range/Efficiency build you get a quite powerful and concentrated Barrage that will knockdown and damage an entire mob while you shoot at them, laughing pirately.

If you're not interested in Damage and just want Utility or Endurance you can Maximize Power Efficiency and slap some Shield/Health/Stamina mods.

Oh, and by the way, have you seen him wielding akimbo pistols? Damn!!!
