You should probably lose the Volt from the combo, tbh, not being able to take out nullifier shields pretty much removes the only reason for him to be there, and Hydroid can do better than Vauban inside the Cataclysm. A better pure power build is probably Limbo, Hydroid to replace Vauban, Loki and Banshee with the Savage Silence and Resonance Augments, ditching range and efficiency and going for full strength/duration. Limbo's Cataclysm keeps the defended object safe, Loki can go invis and exit the Rift Plane to take out nullifiers (or at least their bubbles) with some efficient ranged weapon like a radiation crit/status quanta, and can also cast radial disarm so that all enemies enter Cataclysm, Hydroid should have a bit of bonus range, and a lot of power strength, making sure to keep base efficiency, but he can mostly ditch duration. Ideally his range will be great enough to fill the Catacalysm completely, or even be larger when it's fully shrunken. Banshee's Savage Silence amplifies the damage coming from Hydroid's drowning finisher damage, and scales with power strength, and Sonar amplifies it still further, also scaling with both power strength and resonance, as weak spots can and will stack on each other, especially with good duration.

End result:  No weapons fire gets into cataclysm, if limbo has continuum cataclysm has no duration limit, loki deals effortlessly with nullifiers, Hydroid does the finsher (true damage, ignoring armor and shields) damage and inter-cataclysm cc, and Banshee amplifies Hydroid's damage so far into the stratosphere that Hydroid can do finisher damage on the next galaxy over from ours. This setup would, in all likelihood, give finisher damage ticks of around 4.5k with a single stack of Sonar, and goes up very quickly from there.

Everyone will have plenty of energy due to Rift Plane energy generation. Have fun!
