Since his tentacles hold enemies still now, wouldn't he be better than Khora? I suggest this because his pilfering tentacles augment has higher stats than Khora's pilfering swarm.

I would still take Khora just because of how convenient she is, with Hydroid's tentacles you gotta go to where the actual enemies get grabbed and kill them. Khora just spams her 1 on her dome and everything in it dies. Hydroid would be better if you have a dedicated murderframe teammate, but good luck getting one of those with Public matchmaking.

    I think it depends on the mission type, if it’s a defense where most of the stuff will get killed before getting close enough to the pod hydroid wins. His damage is also pretty decent but I’ve been playing him mostly out of steel path with my noobier friends recently to help them get resources.

    Defense missions can already be slow enough as they are, I would never subject anyone to a CC frame during one unless I was certain I would have someone else with me to quickly kill enemies. Khora's 4 might technically be CC but in reality is a giant death ball that extends her 1's range.
