Nidus zombie augment

[(XBOX)Lmacncheese]

Nidus should really have a augment in which some of the larva that explode and kill would bring the corpse back to life for a time

ok but why though?

So give him completely useless minions became enemies can’t kill enemies as easily as we can. Yeah no

But nemesis inaros nekros and revanent all have useless ai. Infested are the most reliable in this department

Sorry, but Ravenous already has an augment, I don’t like that augment, but I’d 100% prefer it over your idea.

I suggested this earlier during a Nidus augment brainstorm thread. I like minions, I don't care if they're worthless so long as they can draw attention away from me (I just like to watch puppets fight), so I suggested that maggots who latch onto enemies turn them into minions. As a consequence to this, they can no longer deal any damage on their own, so they can only be detonated if the victim is killed, the garden expires, or Nidus uses his 1 on them.

I still think this would be a great augment. To make it better, enemies who become controlled are forced into melee, so they run towards the nearest group of enemies, setting you up to hit multiple enemies more easily.

Ok, so you forgot a major point of Nidus. He can tank like nobodies business and he LOVES the rage mod. Drawing enemy fire away from Nidus is a sure way to render him out of energy and useless.

Nah, just make it so the parasitic link mind controls the target and boosts their abilities.  That'd be a way better Augment IMO.

doesnt that kinda turn Nidus into Nekros?

[(PSN)CoolD2108]

Make them latch onto surrounding enemies and drag them towards your hive.

 

Doesn't have to be "only" minions. It might as well be a energy conserving alternative to his larva Cc.

Or rather it spawns an infested counterpart? Grineer become chargers? Corpus humans become Leapers? Now that I think about it, Grineer are grossly underrepresented in the Infested mutations.
