Hydroid/Main

Release Date: April 10th, 2014

Hydroid is a water-themed Warframe. He wields the power to bend and even transform into water, pulling his enemies into a watery grave. Directing water blasts that knock down enemies and summoning tentacled ocean horrors to rend foes asunder, Hydroid is reminiscent of the age of corsairs. Hydroid was released in Update 13.

Component blueprints drop from the revamped Councilor Vay Hek.

Trivia

 * Hydroid is derived from the Greek "Hydro"  meaning Water and the suffix "-oid"  meaning 'Of similar form to', likely alluding to his ability to transform into water. It is also a life stage for species of the Hydrozoa class of jellyfish.
 * Hydroid was claimed by the Development Team to have been inspired from the theme of pirates and seems to resemble Davy Jones from The Pirates of the Caribbean movie franchise.
 * Hydroid is the first Warframe of his kind to use self-degrading resources for his construction on the Foundry.
 * Hydroid is one of the few warframes that has visible "eye-spots" on his helmet.
 * Hydroid is the second Warframe that has an above-normal Stamina count at 150, the first being Valkyr with the same amount.
 * Hydroid is the only Warframe that has a maximum shield capacity at 989 with maxed Redirection and Vigor mods.
 * All of Hydroid's ability cards are Common instead of the traditional tiered rarity set.
 * Hydroid is one of two Warframes with powers capable of ignoring enemy armor, along with Ash's Blade Storm.
 * Hydroid was the first Warframe to have Finisher Damage abilities, which is the only damage type - barring  and to an extent, damage's proc - that can bypass shields entirely. Ash with his revamped Blade Storm was the second.
