(Where it sits)

Hydroid has no extreme in its base stats — every one of them sits in the middle of the roster, so what it does comes from its abilities rather than its numbers.

It ships with 2 polarities already installed, plus Naramon on the aura slot, so that much of the board costs no forma.

Costs are base figures, before efficiency.

(Acquisition)

Hydroid is a boss drop — every part comes off Earth/Oro (Assassination). The blueprint itself is bought from the in-game market. Skipping all of it costs 300 platinum in the market, or 50,000 credits for the blueprint alone.
