A melee-focused [Hydroid] for swapping Undertow with Defy.

91% DR from armor with Defy and Arcane [Guardian] up.

Slash and Toxin procs can't hurt you, that's what Tidal Impunity is for.

50s Defy uptime.
24s Status Immunity from Tidal Surge.
10/40s tap duration on Tempest Barrage/Tentacle Swarm

Umbral mods are nice to have, but works just fine with base mods, and saves a bunch of forma.

Toxic Flight (or Piercing Step/Mobilize) for SPEED.

Running dash polarity for easy swap to Vigilante Pursuit/[Handspring] on a swap farm build with [Pilfering Swarm].

Yes, you could do this better with any tanky frame.

No this is not optimal in any way.

But I want to use his Deluxe, and puddle is boring af :P

Also, you could swap [Augur Message] for [Pilfering Swarm] and do 2 builds in one.
