PASSIVE Nyx gains +40% Critical Chance on Primary and Secondary weapons per Confused enemy within Affinity Range, up to +200%.
1
Mind Control
Nyx seizes control of a target's mind, compelling them to fight for the Tenno cause. Controlled enemies have increased Radiation Status Chance. When Nyx shoots the controlled enemy, a percentage of that damage is transferred to the target.
2
Psychic Bolts
Nyx unleashes a volley of psychic bolts that track and strike nearby enemies with telekinetic precision. When enemies are slain, additional bolts scatter to new targets. Striking foes weakens their defenses and transfers a portion to Nyx.
3
Chaos
Nyx releases a devastating psychic pulse, disorienting enemies in a wide radius and forcing them to turn on each other. Confused foes lash out at random factions.
4
Absorb
Nyx draws in and contains damage dealt to her and damage confused enemies deal to each other, then converts it into a devastating radial blast. Following the blast, she gains brief invulnerability and a Weapon Damage bonus proportional to absorbed damage.
CEPHALON FIELD GUIDE
How to play this build.
Tenno.
Nourish over Chaos: free weapon viral, a viral buff to the Mind Control ally that feeds Absorb, and an energy multiplier.
Run Assimilate for immortal nuking, or drop the Assimilate augment for a mobile "double-tap Absorb for 6s i-frames" playstyle.
How it works
As The Unbreakable Bubble, but Nourish over Chaos for viral and
energy.
Non-Assimilate: press Absorb without the bubble for a 6s i-frame and 400%
damage buff on release, fully mobile.
Ready Steel and Nira's are for a Ruvox slam
Mind-Control-buff setup.
Helminth
Nourish over Chaos.
Roar or a mobility subsume as alternatives.
Where it struggles
Mobility in Assimilate.
Weapon-carried for bosses.
Variants
The Unbreakable Bubble (#040) and The Banked Bubble (#096) are
the other Nyx builds.
Who runs this
Players who want a Nyx that can toggle between immortal nuking
and mobile i-frame carry.
