I mentioned why use Nyx at all for speed runs cuz though new Chaos is better if you're pushing ground; Nyx as a frame isn't good for those missions at all.

You make good points. Through I would like to counter that yes Nyx at low duration requires you to kill faster but the entire game kinda revolves around that. So I never really saw it as a negative thing. You definantly have to watch the timer in the corner with 40% / 70% duration as far as killing mobs you just have to ignore heavies when you get around the 1 hour mark, focus the little guys or you'll run outa ammo but that's with most frames. The great thing about Nyx of course is she lets you pick and choose.

I completley forgot that Absorb knocks down too, I didn't have it slotted for over 2 years, so I'll have to remember that as another "Round the corner oh crap!" panic button. Though short range, it should work nicely.

I think the reason they took out the chain stun was Interception missions. I remember the first week of leaderboards I ran an 1h 38m solo run with her, the chain stun short duration just never let the mobs capture a node. It was pretty cheese.
