As i have played Nyx quite a lot in the past few years and know all of her bugs and problems (some of which DE caused, then reverted quietly without people noticing) Range and duration is the way to go.

She can be fairly squishy even with Arcane Guardian on (which imo is required with her regardless) but with Chaos Sphere with high range and decent duration it effectively limits the amount of times you have to cast it because new enemies will automatically get confused when running near; regardless of what it looks like on paper this is great.

Additionally if you are feeling brave you can drop shield or health mods in favor of Assimilate so you can protect yourself. Even better is because you have chaos sphere the effective energy reduction (no longer need to recast chaos very often) allows you to have more energy saved for Assimilate. In some cases this allows you to use a weapon that gives you energy (suda or red veil weapons) to counter the natural absorb drain.

Essentially Nyx is one of the easiest ways to make large groups of enemies ignore you and objectives, something you can get used to and take for granted when switching to other CC frames, where suddenly every single enemy withing LOS is attacking you now.

TL;DR, Revenant never 'replaced' Nyx ;)
