Info

• Hydroid expends 50 energy to cleanse himself of all negative Status Effects while transforming into liquid and surging forward as a wave of water. While traveling in waveform, Hydroid becomes completely Invulnerable to damage, as his speed increases to ? / ? / ? / 40 meters per second over a duration of 1 second; the wave may be steered during its travel by changing the view direction, and Hydroid may halt his surge early by jumping (default Spacebar ). Enemies within 3 / 4 / 5 / 6 meters of the wave are  Ragdolled and pulled along by the riptide, while dealt 100 / 200 / 250 / 300  Corrosive damage when caught by the wave and when the wave breaks at the end of the duration, and are inflicted with a variable number of  Corrosive Status Effects based on how long they are carried by the wave.
  • Tidal Surge's pull on enemies attempts to collect them in front of Hydroid's wave. At the end of the surge, pulled enemies are left clumped together at the location where the wave ended.
  • Hydroid jumping out of Tidal Surge will carry forth its momentum as he travels through the air.
• Can be recast while active to remain in waveform and renew the surge for continuous travel toward a new direction. Tidal Surge's energy cost is discounted by 50% if cast again while Hydroid is surging.
• Ability Synergy:
  • Hydroid's Passive allows the first  Corrosive stack to remove 50% armor and is able to fully remove all armor at 10 stacks.

Augment

Main article: Tidal Impunity

Tidal Impunity is a  Hydroid Warframe Augment Mod for  Tidal Surge that allows Hydroid and all allies contacted by the ability to temporarily gain immunity to Status Effects, as well as removing already active ones. Also passively reduces Tidal Surge's base energy cost to 15.

Bugs

• Sometimes when Hydroid emerges from the wave, his "fin" will be gone.
• On PS4, if Hydroid is in the middle of a Tidal Surge when all players reach the extraction point, he will be permanently stuck in his dashing pose and simply clip into the drop ship during the "Mission Complete" mini-scene that plays during the loot screen.
