Your voice and the way you speak are so cute. A message from Japan.

I think I'll subscribe because a lot of other build crafters sound like a bit of an ass tbh.

Question though, would you recommend any of the spearguns with hydroid? I ask because the delux skin came with one and I'm trying to find a use for it. I was thinking of using scourge since it already does corrosive damage and the alt fire works like a semi breach surge.

Well, broken? Not really, but you cant tell if he is or not due to the overwhelming powercreep in the game. With Jade shadows, DE shattered the HP/armor types system, making corrosive WAAAY worse of what it used to be. Before, having partial armor strip actually meant more dmg, since reducing the enemy armor up to 99.75% meant that old corrosive multiplier (1.75x) would apply twice, both in the DR and armor ignored, so (1.75)^2. Now corrosive applies 1.5x multiplier to the faction, not to the HP/armor type. Armor strip barely means anything anymore. Plunder is still good with extra hits though.

Hydroid is broken: let subsume the best cheapest immunity skill in the game. 😑 People still don't know how to play this frame even a year after rework. 😅

As a MR 20 player I have no idea what just happened :D but thanku for the guide 🦮
