Raw Seafood | [Hydroid] Eidolon Hunting Build

Introduction:

"B~but [Hydroid] is one of the worst frames!! you should just use a DPS frame if you're going solo!! w~w~why are you using puddle! waaaa~!" haha puddle go splish splash. Alright so this is primarily a Casual solo support type build for healing lures and granting status immunity through [Hydroid]'s two augments and optionally Mirage's Eclipse augment. All round good versatility, Hydroid is the very wet and sticky blunt multi-tool of warframe, not very effective because of it's blunt edge but still a usable edge nonetheless. This is a Warframe not to be used in a proper setting like competitive 5x3/6x3 hunts. Instead, this is just an experimental build that's surprisingly okay-ish. Again, take it alone or you'll make people groan.

How it works:

"Why range and Strength?" Well, remember puddle? the one of the "weakest abilities in the game"? It can heal to 100% health in 5 seconds, sure it's not the fastest and may as well be a bad healing ability but that's still absolutely max health while being invincible, and realistically if you're good at time management, you shouldn't need to use it to heal if you're efficiently beating up the poor walking sentient stick man. You're going to use Undertow for both healing and toggled invincibility with it's Curative Undertow augment,Tidal surge with it's Tidal Impunity augment only as a backup when you get magnetic procced like a fool and Eclipse as mainly a defensive ability that may utilize the Total Eclipse augment if needed.

Remember that Undertow is not to be used to deal damage, instead it makes for a very good forced Invincibility ability as your first active wall of survivability + A slow heal with it's augment.

Alternatively if you're not aiming to DPS or prefer to act as a full support in a group, you can replace {[Adaptation]} with Overextended and replace Augur Reach for Total Eclipse so allies can gain the benefits of Eclipse

Mod + Arcane Choices:

1.Corrosive Projection - For reducing the Eidolon's max armor
2.Coaction Drift - For increasing the effect of [Corrosive Projection], a bit of a preferential mod and may be replaced
3.Transient Fortitude - Primary strength mod for Eclipse, hurts duration a bit but 20 seconds is usually enough
4.Stretch - General use range mod
5.Umbral Intensify - Increases Eclipse's effectiveness, and provides a small resistance to sentient damage

6.Adaptation - Increases resistance to a damage type up to 90%, a suvivability mod
/ Overextended - Can be used to further increase the range of Tidal Surge, Undertow and Eclipse
/ Rolling Guard - Another alternative survivability mod that gives invincibility and status cleansing
7.Augur Reach - A pocket Brief Respite to keep shield gating up, spam Tempest Barrage if you need it up
/Total Eclipse - Suda/Hexis augment for Eclipse that enables sharing of it's effects to nearby allies
8.Curative Undertow - Suda/Loka augment for Undertow to enable the ability to heal 30% in 1.5 seconds
9.Tidal Impunity - Suda/Loka augment for Tidal Surge to enable status immunity for 12 seconds

Arcane Guardian - Gives flat armor (900 at max rank), great for squishy frames in Eidolon Hunting
Arcane Nullifier - At max rank, grants immunity to magnetic status effects

Note:
-Weak at damage dealing
-Great at survivability and support
-Not a replacement for meta frames/equipment
-Not the greatest way to hunt, but serves as a base for further improvement.
-This is an experimental casual build, just have fun with unfamiliar things to find a bit of change fresh out of the meta, it's still a game so you better try to enjoy it.
