Talk:Nyx (Warframe)/@comment-24563582-20140412101707

After extensive testing, myself and a friend of mine have come to the conclusion that two ability slots should be reserved for Nyx. One is a placeholder for Absorb. Corpus missions sees Mind Control for nearby Shield Ospreys, Shockwave MOAs surrounded by hostiles, and Corpus Tech at medium range. Grineer missions will see Chaos for obvious reasons.

Our most important discovery was that Nyx's Absorb doesn't need all that much range to achieve its full potential. But, it does need a ton of duration.

With a Loki running a Radial Disarm build, Absorb gets crowded (especially with Djinn[which aggro's across zones from what I can see, unlike Absorb which is single zone], don't mind the stuns they are unimportant), but didn't build enough damage at the one hour mark (teamwork really can accomplish anything, even carry level 20ish frames to an hour on Nimus). Djinn pulls everything in and prevents Loki from having to waste movement and energy on Radial Disarm.

The important thing here is that when you have a Nyx on your team, and it's a Survival or Defense mission, your job has become the feeding of damage to Absorb and the herding of enemies close to the shield (and picking up LS, activating LS to prevent surplus blockades after 4, and picking up Nyx should she fall). Best case scenario: Nyx hardy ever needs to move or leave Absorb, except to Mind Control a Shield Osprey that follows the melee crowd so it can protect the Absorb chargers (Corpus are so fun and annoying to fight. They have so many toys, so many neat little toys). If you aren't down for that, then leave the group real quick and hop into another. There are a ton of people who would really enjoy being carried to the end of the end of Warframe by Nyx. Teamwork is very rewarding. You may not be top dog on the results page, but there ARE four names on that page, and they all played a key role and got rewarded for it.

Stat mods are down to personal preference, as always.

It's not often I play Nyx, but I love to feed damage into Absorb with an Embolist for a few seconds before the melee horde reaches the shield.

You can be lazy and Chaos, jump in the middle with max range Absorb, team charge, annihilate. Spam. This works too. Pretty sure I know which method Warframe players will choose.
