Tips[]
- Rift Strike can be used to reach distant enemies and gain ground, though players will need to perform Heavy Attacks.
- Electromagnetic Shielding can be used to absorb some of the damage that nearby allies receive while also retaining a fast movement speed by using Final Harbinger's Dark Light combo.
- Some melee weapons and combos may be used to bypass the movement penalty, such as the Nikana's Blind Justice Guiding Light combo.
- Using Dispatch Overdrive gives you more movement speed during Assimilate.
- Switching to the Operator can allow the player to use Void Dash and get to objectives quicker while still keeping Assimilate active on Nyx.
- While equipping {Assimilate, casting Absorb during Aim Glide will not stop or slow down the maneuver until Nyx touches the ground.
- As Nyx cannot slide or sprint during Assimilate, negative % Friction mods such as Cunning Drift, Maglev, and Streamlined Form or Sprint Speed mods such as Rush or Speed Drift provide no benefit.
- Assimilate prevents health loss from Combat Discipline, while still being able to heal allies.
Trivia[]
- After its introduction and upon request from the Community, Assimilate was updated to allow for teammates to fire at and charge up Absorb in Update 19.13 (2017-03-09).
- This update was later undone with Hotfix 20.2.3 (2017-04-19) upon feedbacks that it drains too much energy.
