Ever since affliction was buffed a year or two ago, I changed all my snare perked weapons to affliction.
Hybrid extends the duration of affliction from 6 seconds to 10 seconds on weapons. It's the closest thing to "infinite affliction" since that affliction bug a couple years ago (fun times). One hit is often enough to kill an enemy that normally would take a few shots. You just have to let affliction do its thing.
He helps to buff any affliction related hero (Carbide, Wild Fragment DeadEye, etc.) Deadly Blade Crash can trigger affliction on critical hits with weapons that normally don't have affliction (like the Spectral Blade).
He also adds some extra oomph to dragon slash by adding fire damage and affliction. It stacks with Sunggle Specialist Sarah.
Epic employees, snitches and killjoys can stop reading here. The best thing about Hybrid is his commander perk works when you use him in support. He's been bugged since release. It's a rare bug in the player's favor. Consider that Ice King has been bugged since release because he doesn't snare enemies and his freeze does not work on slanted walls. Also the Spectral Blade has been bugged since release with a non functioning snare 6th perk. So yeah, if they're gonna "fix" Hybrid, they need to fix Ice King and the Spectral Blade as well.
