CODEX

Command the ocean's fury with this king of gold and silver. Featuring altered mod polarities for greater customization.

Fear... is the greatest of faith. While our immortal vines have left us distant from our baser selves, consider our subjects:

Those who gaze upon our cloud-swept towers, with simmering, violent envy, they hold still the old fears.

Depth and darkness... The windless embrace...

We will give to fear a form and yet none a vague hydra, a load monstrosity, surging from the unfathomable... reminding them who their gods are. Hydroid.

—Ballas

Notes

• Hydroid Prime, compared to  Hydroid:
  • Higher Shields (550/650 vs. 365/465)
  • Higher Armor (290 vs. 240)
  • Higher Energy (175/225 vs. 140/190)
  • Higher Starting Energy (100 vs. 75)
  • Additional and Polarities ( vs. )
• As with any other Prime Warframe, moving close to the location of an Orokin Void Death Orb will restore a pulse of 250 Energy to nearby allies, even if that Death Orb is inactive, destroyed, or non-present. This effect can only occur once per orb.
• Hydroid Prime's  Tentacle Swarm tentacles are opaque and have a new organic texture that is affected by Hydroid Prime's Warframe Appearance colors.
  • Energy color applies a coat of energy on the tentacle's model and alters the color of the numerous glow spots on the texture. This allows players to customize their tentacles to look similar to the older tentacle model prior to Update 21.4 (2017-08-10).
  • Tentacle texture can return to default non-Prime translucency by equipping different skins (e.g. Hydroid Immortal Skin on Hydroid Prime)

Trivia

• Hydroid Prime, along with  Frost Prime, can achieve the third highest total shield value out of all Warframes at 3,195 by combining  Redirection,  Primed Vigor,  Augur Accord, and their maximum Overshields (+1200).  Harrow currently holds the second highest possible shield value of 4,110, beaten only by Hildryn's 6555. These numbers can potentially be higher with other buffs that increase shield capacity (such as  Shield Charger and Sequence).
• Hydroid Prime was revealed at TennoCon 2017 alongside  Excalibur Umbra and Plains of Eidolon.
• His Prime trailer was revealed at TennoCon 2020.
• A fully built Hydroid Prime was given for watching TennoCon 2020 on WARFRAME's Twitch with a Twitch-linked account for 30 consecutive minutes, after 5:00 p.m. ET, on August 1st, 2020. It comes with a free Warframe slot and pre-installed Orokin Reactor.
  • Due to thousands of players reporting missing Twitch drops, on August 6th, 2020 Hydroid Prime was distributed to all players if they were logged in to WARFRAME during TennoCon 2020, regardless if they watched the streams or not.
