(Where it sits)

Across the 117 frames in the roster, Hydroid Prime sits in the top fifteen per cent for shield (15th of 117).

It ships with 4 polarities already installed, plus Naramon on the aura slot, so that much of the board costs no forma.

(Acquisition)

Hydroid Prime comes out of Void relics — 22 of them across its 4 parts. It is in the Vault: those relics no longer drop, so the only routes left are a player who already holds them and the occasional unvaulting.

In the Vault — the relics below are not in the current drop tables.

Chances are per reward roll, as the drop tables state them. Relic rows show the chance at each refinement; a relic drops Intact.
