The psychic, mental manipulator, strongest minion frame - Nyx!
Release date: 2013-01-29
Passive: Nyx gains Thrive in Chaos whenever enemies within Affinity Range are afflicted with Confusion (from Radiation status effect or Mind Control), increasing her primary and secondary weapon Critical Chance by 40% per enemy up to a maximum of 200% from 5 enemies.
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 them, they also have an increased Damage Multiplier.
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.
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.
Absorb - Nyx draws in and contains the damage dealt to her and the damage confused enemies deal to each other then converts it into a devastating radial blast. Following the blast, she enters a brief invulnerable state and gains a Weapon Damage boost proportional to the absorbed damage.
Acquisition: Main blueprint can be purchased from the Market. Component blueprints can be obtained from defeating Phorid on assassination missions that appear during an Infested Invasion.
Nyx is an easy pick for all content, and I think in the illustrious position of “best warframe” (tied ofc). I started running Decoy on her for Circuit, and it gives her perfect object defense alongside of Chaos. Mind Freak turns her minion into a murder demon.
Lots of other things like Assimilate getting a jump which opens slam builds…
Ironically Trinity is probably my favourite of the two returning Warframe queens, lol.
“For all content”
Welllllll… it’s important to keep in mind (ha!) that Chaos can slow down a defense mission. Not as egregiously as long range Wisp/Limbo, but she DOES do it, and her new passive means that she really wants to cast it.
