Im a baby Tenno, Just 240hours in the game. Im soooo happy that her is the first Frame o builded correctly by myself!! Since my first hours in to the game your videos helped me A LOT to understand the basics of the game. The way u teach cheap builds is amazing! Rn i feel her kit sooooo complete. I dont plan anything with helminth with her. Amazing video!
Sorry, but pshycic bolts is not like ash his shurikens, u only need 125 or 130 strength (not sure anymore) to armor strip every enemy, including acolytes, liches and sisters, and the fact that they get rad procs and get stunned with the augment, is way better then shurikens, a massive improvement from pre-rework
Forgot to mention that u also dont need range for her bolts, but mostly want duration so the bolts last longer, and for some reason dont need range to track on enemies
Here are my two helmeith builds (which I had previous to the update that got even better ) Mood Swing- Rest&Rage over her first. Rage makes the Chaos foes attack each other faster and take more damage doing so. Pairs with Absorb for higher bust damage due to their increased attack rate and damage vulnerability. Alternatively, Rest adds more Crowd control and melee damage. Calm& Frenzy augment spreading is now nice with Bolts spreading. Yes I have two fashions for this build. I use Vial Rush for my Assimilate build. Movement, more control, more Crit damage (pairs nicely with the new passive). It is also a zero energy cost ability which doesn't impact the drain from Absorb.
So I've been playing with the Gemini skin and realized that when you switch skin.... So does your color palette. So what?? Well my Rest and Rage Nyx now can switch between rest and rage like Equinox. I am thinking this will work on the other Gemini frames. Chromatic Excalibur that can switch colors for his sword? A Elemental Ward Trinity that buff health and armor or shields? Maybe
3:40 - You can effectively place it as a CC turret and CC enemies even when you're not there. Really handy in Interceptions and Excavations. Build it for max range and duration and watch.
About her mind freak, guys it's a good ability, but trust me, take the overguard off a thrax and make them your Ally, it's so cool to see a giant with a scythe fighting for you
@parikshitbulbule5468 You can even do it to acolytes and necramechs but the duration is reduced. It's so funny seeing my teammates confused why the acolyte is their ally🤣 It's kinda annoying tho so don't do it often
The Chaos augment used to be useful back in the day, you could just left it at an interception point and enemies would never get into the control console to capture a point But that was back then, when we didn't had bullet jumps or eximus, so yeah: not as good nowadays. It does help keep an area locked down, but it's not worth a mod slot.
I use efficiency on her without Assimilate and I get to run around casting stuff, and I can use her 4 in a pinch to do a mini-nuke and get i-frames. Nyx is so versatile now that either setup works wonders.
Hmmmmm, Good to see her finally getting a passive. but then is a damage passive, like for nyx a damage passive make 99.99% sense. But is DE answer to every thing gonna always be damage and I-frames?
This video felt very raw and authentic to watch (in comparison to some other videos i have seen that feel more cookiecutter), i really enjoyed it. Keep it up!
Mind Control still has its uses on steel path, you can use it on both Acolytes and Necramechs at a duration cap of 10 seconds if I remember correctly, good enough for you to quickly lock them in place for a quick burst of damage or if you need to focus on something else like a disrruption conduit.
As someone who used to main Nyx back in 2015-2016, I feel the Chaos Sphere augment came in handy as back then gaining energy wasn't as easy as it is now. The sphere would cause enemies entering it to get hit with chaos, instead of having to spam cast the ability all the time. More of a sidegrade from ye olden times than a really useful augment in current game.
You sold me at parkour velocity! I never bothered even getting her prime, knowing that parkour velocity works for assimilate has changed my mind! I'll get her today
Originally the purpose of Chaos Sphere was to be able to re-cast Chaos and affect a wider area (I used it for Interceptions long long ago) because iirc you either couldn't re-cast chaos, or if you did it would release those originally under the effects of it to affect the area you are now covering. But since the rework you can just re-cast the ability and affect new targets and the old targets stay CCd since it's just rad procs now. So the augment lost its purpose in the re-work. Maybe if you REALLY care about affecting all targets entering an area rather than just those already there, but that's incredibly niche.
I will say breach surge over her 1 with assimilate is outrageously broken. She straight up does not require any more strength than a basic intensify or augur secret and molt augmented if you want. Breach surge absolutely destroys a room when combined with good range which also helps with her 3 tremendously
@@vincemays7599 breach surge with decent range can cover an entire room. What breach surge does is it takes the damage an enemy took and multiplies it, then sends it to a nearby enemy. Thanks to Nyx’s armor strip and crazy crit chance passive she will do incredible amounts of damage that is then multiplied and distributed to enemies in the room. Nyx’s armor strip also transfers to another enemy after they die. Meaning you take the massive damage you did to an enemy due to armor strip and then it that damage gets multiplied and sent to another enemy who is also now armor stripped. This process gives Nyx a slower room nuke (slower in comparison to other room nuking abilities). There’s some more in depth stuff like the fact each damage tick can spawn its own shard and the guaranteed shard on death but that’s not super important as you can just boil it down to “enemy takes massive damage due to armor strip and that massive damage is multiplied and sent to another enemy that is also then armor stripped”
@vincemays7599 empower the damage taken by the enemy's, when you hit them this sort of particles track other enemies, they take a multiplication of the damage taken by the original enemy, so more damage take the original, more damage take the others, i hit around of 11,000,00 damage, can be more.
Mind control also benefits from radiation stacks that are applied before taking the control. So running the augment with high ability strength and casting 3 before 1, since it applies 10 rad stacks with custom duration, will overcharge the mind controlled target making it go crazy since rad procs are multiplicative to the damage delt to allies
Nyx main from 2017 here. The chaos augment is best used as a placable bottleneck to stop enemy movement. That being said, I agree that it is not obvious at all that is its intended purpose, and the obvious use case is nearly pointless, as enemies will stop outside the radius to shoot their allies. Easy solution is to flip the direction of the ring's movement, starting from half radius and moving to max or x1.2 max to pick up stragglers while not really changing its other use case much. Make it worth using in range builds
Since you can reach full defense strip on her 2 with two strenght shards, you can run those instead of intensify, freeing up a mod slot for something else (I run mind freak and pacyfying bolts, I don't like assimilate so far personnaly)
Yupe, dont like it either, but only problem i have is that my build had 34 range, but over 200 strength and duration, just for the mind control fun, so its either i subsume her 3rd or 4th, not sure wich 1 yet
@@chadikhr7258 with pacifying bolts i can proc rad, i only need 5 enemies with a rad proc to get the extra 200% cc off her passive, and my bolts do the cc for me anyway, but thats what i like bout warframe, every1 has a personal build they like
I have an extra Nyx in the foundry but I have a stupid plan. Give her mind control to Loki, mind control some poor bloke, then use offensive decoy on said target or vice versa. If this works, then we have a super unit that deals massive damage (Will need a corrosive spreading hound) while spreading status effect like no other while Loki is invisble at the corner taking a piss.

Tested it on lvl 145 corrupted steel path and my super unit cleans rooms quite well but not as fast as let's say Qorvex or Mesa Is it Meta? No But is it entertaining?

i like using glaives, or glaive prime specifically with her assimilate augment because she can be a bit faster with melees and range makes it easier with movement debuff
Probably already mentioned But you can mind control acolytes and juice up their damage. Super fun and they usually wipe the floor with enemies. But your team might hate you
My STR is 114 and it full strips armor, I’d rather focus on range and duration. Slap in Tesla Nervos or Breach Surge in one of her skills and you’re golden. Been playing Nyx since forever now. I’ve only got Tau Forged Yellow Shard for casting speed and molt efficiency, still optional though.
How about subsuming decoy on her so you can cast Damage Decoy on a Heavy Gunner, then using Mind Control with Mind Freak so you'd have a friend for 90 seconds that'll prime all enemies and also deal 5,000% damage?
@@halabhalab-t7f i actually went with silence for now because turning off eximus and acolyte abilities is quite nice QOL. i just found out that is also turns of tusk thumper abilities. good for thrax as well if you are doing void cascade. i think Nyx has plenty of extra damage abilities without roar or eclipse personally. I find im not lacking on the damage at all.
11:05 I'm one of those people that hates her 4th, and I did put Silence in her 4th. They took a good frame and made her great! 2nd best thing is more than 1 Nyx on your team doesn't hurt the other. Best is those Torid level 2 crits!
Wrathful advance is my goto for pretty much any reason. Flash stepping across the map constantly make any frame feel amazing. I'm cool with Nyx's 4 even if it's a little underwhelming just because I like having a panic button.
You should consider using Parkour Velocity only if you want to play Assimilate. Otherwise Amalgam Barrel Diffusion + Praedos is more than enough for mobility. However Assimilate is in my opinion waste of mod slot, since Nyx works perfectly fine without it (6s of invulnerability on top of Psychic Bolts is A LOT of tankiness).
A note about base absorb: you can fly with it, so I actually don't run it on non-absorb builds to fly off and let chaos and mind freak do their work. Having the placeable chaos sphere might be a niche use for it, too.
So, I'm a very new player, and remember some tier list or video or something hating on Nyx, and as I had ranked up my Nyx only just yesterday, I was like "Huh... She seems really good, why the hate?" A recent rework makes total sense haha.
I used Nyx with Wisps Ability and it feels like committing War Crimes you confuse them and Blind them thats just Cyber Bullying. Nyx has got to be the Most fun Warframe to Build around right now so many possibilities
Depends, an extra couple of hundred shields and 2k - 3k Overguard is only useful in basic missions. It's not useless but in missions where you're taking extreme damage that extra defense is dust in the wind, just use it for gating and no need to go all in, you're using it primarily for the armour strip. You also cast bolts a lot so in regular missions that spam will constantly refuel your defenses so its again not vital.
Am I doing something wrong? I'll absorb 500k+ with of damage with absorb and it still just tickles enemies. Is there is step in the formula in missing or am I just stupid
Want to shout out sprint boost for aura and rush for exidus mods here (also amalgam serration to a lesser extent). Movement speed buffs make assimilate feel better. But also parkor shards for it, you can't bullet jump in assimilate, but you can roll, making this a movement option too. Also shout out to slam builds, cos she can basic jump now, you can slam, and also be invincible, wukong 2.0, but got a virus to movement.
I just use her 4th as a shield. I leave her 4th up through the entire match. And I’m immune to status efrects. So I wouldn’t say it’s completely useless. Leave it
I thi k at this point mind control is going to the ability i have the least joy with. On my original assimilate nyx i put banshees silence which worked out great because it stopped acolytes pulling me out of assimilate when she was more squishy where as now id probably only use it prior to the acolyte arriving vut thats already more than what i would use mund control
Assimilate with 175% duration and 130% efficiency makes you lose 1 energy per second basically you never run out of energy and you can stay invincible the entire mission!
People really out there just not getting how to abuse the hell out of Nyx's 1. If you are not regularly getting 6000-8000% buffed dmg, you're doing it wrong. If you are not using mind freak with 1, you are doing it wrong. Pet AI has definitely improved but its still far from perfect, mind freak circumvents A LOT of that weakness by making your pet super fast (it also provides incentive to helminth on nourish and put some str on your build because nyx doesn't care about range if you're also using her 2 augment). 250% ish str + nourish i've been turning regular corpus with shotguns into murder bots that hit for 700k-1mil. You HAVE to understand how the damage charge phase of her 1 works and how you can abuse it (protip: DoTs applied before 1 is cast is usually a significant bump)
I know they postponed infested liches, but I hoped for more weapons and arcanes in the update, the whole hex syndicate is 95%cosmetics. It feels way too empty.
I always thought her 4 sucked. I wish they had replaced it, or swapped with 3 and allow you to cast it on a mind controlled enemy mag style where it would then absorb the damage for you so you can move freely. Like why design an ability where I gotta stop playing and basically do nothing? I shouldn’t need an augment for that
for me absorb never fit with nyxs concept of being a psychic mind control is obvious chaos is bassicly that but bigger and psychic bolts at least has psychic in it but absorb ehh
Why is range good with her? 34% range mind control ios sitll 20m. And u want to MC people beside u to hit them to add damage. Bolts doesnt use range at all and skill 4 range only affects minimum range so if u do run narrow minded, the extra duration is then converted into extra range since it lasts longer. The only skill that actually needs range is skill 3.
I'm still trying to get everyone to like me so I can get to rank 4. Honestly, I hate this update. It feels like they've time gated me twice, now I'm doing a bounty then checking messenger to see if someone like me, like I'm 14 again... Really not a fan.
@@missk1697 I mean, its true, but walking at the speed of a 2 ton snail or at best rolling through the ground when some tilesets require bullet jumping for fast travel is quite a pain
If you build out a torid incarnon for crit chance and crit damage you can use the bonus passive crit chance to nuke full rooms with red crits without having to aim really.
8:46 - no way you’re running Rolling Guard and Aegis together with the Assimilate augment. Also I don't agree with your take on Chaos augment, it is great for defense or interception missions-basically any scenario where you need to hold down an area against incoming enemies. The video feels a bit off; it looks like you skimmed through the wiki, did a few test runs, and just threw together the results without really diving into her mechanics or covering all her potential.
Good video my sir I would like to ask if u can make a Harrow Prime video? I acquired him a few days ago and i would like to see what he's capable of Have a great day PARKOUR VELOCITYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

A note about base absorb: you can fly with it, so I actually don't run it on non-absorb builds to fly off and let chaos and mind freak do their work. Having the placeable chaos sphere might be a niche use for it, too.
Nyx with assimilate doesn't need combat discipline to trigger arcane avenger.
So, I'm a very new player, and remember some tier list or video or something hating on Nyx, and as I had ranked up my Nyx only just yesterday, I was like "Huh... She seems really good, why the hate?" A recent rework makes total sense haha.
She's definitely S-tier now imo haha
Nyx prime looks very good ngl. I got nyx prime almost ready to craft just missing one peace.
Had a go with her last night on steel path mot had a fun 20mins run with her.
I used Nyx with Wisps Ability and it feels like committing War Crimes you confuse them and Blind them thats just Cyber Bullying. Nyx has got to be the Most fun Warframe to Build around right now so many possibilities
Cool my 4th fav frame got a rework but also I’m waiting for equinox to get buff or rework or something goofy
Put breach surge over her 1, extra ability damage on irradiated enemies, and go crazy with cc and sparkly bolts
Realistically when you’re invulnerable to all damage, how fast do u need to be? I mean unless you’re trying to min max speed runs I guess
Are you not incentivised to run higher ability strength to increase the cap of the overguard and defenses she steals with her bolts?
Depends, an extra couple of hundred shields and 2k - 3k Overguard is only useful in basic missions. It's not useless but in missions where you're taking extreme damage that extra defense is dust in the wind, just use it for gating and no need to go all in, you're using it primarily for the armour strip. You also cast bolts a lot so in regular missions that spam will constantly refuel your defenses so its again not vital.
Only if you dont use assimilate
Nourish and Nyx is insane
Idk if youll see this but can u pls make a titania build i tried finding 1 but all used the melee influence bug which is patched now
With one player using Corrosive Projection, 100% armor strip can be achieved at 103% Ability Strength.
I've been using mind freak and trumna prime alt fire to really pump the damage bonus
Am I doing something wrong? I'll absorb 500k+ with of damage with absorb and it still just tickles enemies. Is there is step in the formula in missing or am I just stupid
Could also try thermal sunder for crit damage with cold
Want to shout out sprint boost for aura and rush for exidus mods here (also amalgam serration to a lesser extent). Movement speed buffs make assimilate feel better.
But also parkor shards for it, you can't bullet jump in assimilate, but you can roll, making this a movement option too.
Also shout out to slam builds, cos she can basic jump now, you can slam, and also be invincible, wukong 2.0, but got a virus to movement.
Her nemesis skin goes so hard
I just use her 4th as a shield. I leave her 4th up through the entire match. And I’m immune to status efrects. So I wouldn’t say it’s completely useless. Leave it
I thi k at this point mind control is going to the ability i have the least joy with. On my original assimilate nyx i put banshees silence which worked out great because it stopped acolytes pulling me out of assimilate when she was more squishy where as now id probably only use it prior to the acolyte arriving vut thats already more than what i would use mund control
Personally I don't see the need for Rolling Guard when her 4 makes her invulnerable anyways.
I dislike how the rework encourages me to keep her 3 on... its always been her worst ability for me. I get by with her 2 aug and 4
How do i mod +freak %
Assimilate with 175% duration and 130% efficiency makes you lose 1 energy per second basically you never run out of energy and you can stay invincible the entire mission!
don't you lose energy for getting shoot
@speeddemon9616 No just tested it rn
People really out there just not getting how to abuse the hell out of Nyx's 1. If you are not regularly getting 6000-8000% buffed dmg, you're doing it wrong. If you are not using mind freak with 1, you are doing it wrong. Pet AI has definitely improved but its still far from perfect, mind freak circumvents A LOT of that weakness by making your pet super fast (it also provides incentive to helminth on nourish and put some str on your build because nyx doesn't care about range if you're also using her 2 augment). 250% ish str + nourish i've been turning regular corpus with shotguns into murder bots that hit for 700k-1mil. You HAVE to understand how the damage charge phase of her 1 works and how you can abuse it (protip: DoTs applied before 1 is cast is usually a significant bump)
I LOVE PARKOUR VELOCITY BABY YEAHHHHH
Just put two tau reds and u dont need to mod for strength at all and save a mod slot
I feel like only two frame needs rework now that being Oberon and Loki.
I know they postponed infested liches, but I hoped for more weapons and arcanes in the update, the whole hex syndicate is 95%cosmetics. It feels way too empty.
I always thought her 4 sucked. I wish they had replaced it, or swapped with 3 and allow you to cast it on a mind controlled enemy mag style where it would then absorb the damage for you so you can move freely. Like why design an ability where I gotta stop playing and basically do nothing? I shouldn’t need an augment for that
I kinda wished they changed her 4th ability altogether. It feels more like Mag's ability than Nyx's and I was never really a huge fan of it.
I put breach surge on her 1
Okay now when they gonna un-nerf volt. That's the last starter frame with no rework or anything
for me
absorb never fit with nyxs concept of being a psychic
mind control is obvious chaos is bassicly that but bigger
and psychic bolts at least has psychic in it
but absorb
ehh
Why is range good with her? 34% range mind control ios sitll 20m. And u want to MC people beside u to hit them to add damage. Bolts doesnt use range at all and skill 4 range only affects minimum range so if u do run narrow minded, the extra duration is then converted into extra range since it lasts longer. The only skill that actually needs range is skill 3.
Its for the 3
I used gloom over 4. Lately I think I broke the game it's so OP.
Nyx got a rework before we got gta6
I'm still trying to get everyone to like me so I can get to rank 4. Honestly, I hate this update. It feels like they've time gated me twice, now I'm doing a bounty then checking messenger to see if someone like me, like I'm 14 again... Really not a fan.
I thought he said paw patrol instead of crowd control
Freaky frame👀
I already player her a lot before the rework kkkkk now i can say she's my new main kkkkkkkkk
With her 4th you can use your tenno for mobility, by doing this it will also keep your 4th active at the same time.
I highly disagree with Absorb not fitting. Idk, I feel like it's a waste of a slot for assimilate.
absorb for me jsut doesnt fit for nyx concept
shes a pshycic
yet absorb is there not really fitting in
why would you use asimilate when you can perma shield gate with her?
can u provide a shield gate build that mainly focuses on her passive for red crit weapon platform build?
Variety is the spice of life, sometimes you just wanna stay alive in a different way so long as its effective
Because shield gate on everything is boring
@@missk1697 I mean, its true, but walking at the speed of a 2 ton snail or at best rolling through the ground when some tilesets require bullet jumping for fast travel is quite a pain
1k views 30 mins ago bro went down hard
If you build out a torid incarnon for crit chance and crit damage you can use the bonus passive crit chance to nuke full rooms with red crits without having to aim really.
Torid incarnorn can do that with any build and any frame,that thing is a beast
8:46 - no way you’re running Rolling Guard and Aegis together with the Assimilate augment. Also I don't agree with your take on Chaos augment, it is great for defense or interception missions-basically any scenario where you need to hold down an area against incoming enemies. The video feels a bit off; it looks like you skimmed through the wiki, did a few test runs, and just threw together the results without really diving into her mechanics or covering all her potential.
She freaky AF
Good video my sir
I would like to ask if u can make a Harrow Prime video? I acquired him a few days ago and i would like to see what he's capable of
Have a great day
PARKOUR VELOCITYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
No it sucks. No more slow walk terminator mode in assimilate.
I'm gonna wait until they fix the excessive Eximus spawn in survival before I test the rework.
you don't just mag dumb lmao, you cast your 3 and 2 before your 1, you miss on a LOT of dmg stack if u don't, seriously these youtubers doesn't even know how to properly play something and spread missinfo and ppl will just listen
To each their own. Even with the rework.
I am still not interested in this frame.
But i appreciate the break down Sir.
Absorb is 💩....
Do you reason from vanilla or steel path@?
Vanilla doesn't count😂
They're certainly taking the right step with these skins. Now they need to get closer to The first descendant skins if they really want to make some money xD
Nahhhh. Don’t over sexualize. Thats the beauty of warframe. Its simple and not made for goons (kinda) haha
Nah, we don't need another gooner game
@@brodude8641 explain the ember skin everyone got....
I wish they would have stuck with robot space ninjas. I'm not wild about Warframe adding a dating sim.
@@juakored Ember is the hottest of the frames. PUN Intended.
Her one is meh, her two us meh, her fourth abillity is meh without the augment but of course = nyx is amazing after her rework! What the hell are you youtubers smoking?
Her two is great, tf you talk about
First!
I've always loved Nyx, even before her rework. I'm gonna miss being scolded for using her "because she sucks". Shiiid that's the best part 😩🫦
