Nidus is a great frame IMO, sure his 2 is a bad vortex but it leads up to his 1, which can deal insane amounts of damage as you get your stacks up. I haven't tried extreme high level missons yet (70+) but doing 20 rounds of Akkad, I held up very easily, scoring 30k+ damage with his 1 at 100 stacks. Even at 50 stacks I was doing around 10k. If you have a source of energy, from either energy pads, zenurik, or Trinity you can spam his 1 often. His 3 only adds more damage to his 1, whether you have your link on an ally for damage or on an enemy for damage reduction because using your 1 with your 3 attached onto anyone will cause your 1 to sprout from your attached target so its basically a double cast for the price of one. In terms of survivability I wouldn't worry too much about it. He has a passive health regen which is pretty fast and his 4 provides a slight CC and health regen (14 health per second at lvl 30) when standing on it. His 4's health regen is also applies to allies so thats a bonus. Regardless, a "gimmick frame" isn't what Nidus is.
