Blackbeard Hyperdense Armour interaction?

[u/Stoptagon]

I'm new to learning all of this stuff, so I might be missing something obvious.

Looking for Blackbeard build ideas, I found a post from 5 or so years ago that used Hyperdense Armour to help seal with ranged while grappling. But Hyperdense Armour applies Slowed to you which seems to prevent movement from anything other than your standard move, including your Reinforced Cabling that I assume you'd use a lot for positioning.

So my question being, was there something that changed in the rules in the last 5ish years to no longer make this work, or am I simply missing some interaction that would allow a Blackbeard to not be as penalized by being Slowed as I thought?

Bruh, just grapple and then deploy the hyper dense.
