Ikyr0 Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 (edited) got my free prime and im wondering what this guy brings to the table. from a first look, it seems he is basically a tank frame without any nuking abilities. as someone who mains Nidus and Nova, I'm not sure what to do with him, as he solely relies on weapon kills. i know he also enhances farming with Despoil. anything I'm missing here? edit: thanks guys. beyond Despoil, Nekros is pretty redundant given the frames i already use. just MR fodder for me.

(PSN)Yes-Man-Kablaam Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 (edited) tank with shadows of the dead augment or if you want to use the whole health conversion thing. cc especially with creeping terrify and shadows of the dead and of course despoil while enhancing farming also fills the area with health and energy orbs. oh and life support so S#&$ty survival groups are at least bearable with a nekros.

-Krism- Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 Nekros was released with update 10 in 2013, he didn't get any real rework (other than "toggle desecrate") since then, don't be too hard on him 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(PSN)Hikuro-93 Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 Yup, Nekros is an utility frame above all else. Like you'd take a Limbo to a defense mission for his bubble's mechanics and not its damage and/or nuking abilities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lazarow Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 Nekros is just a farm frame I mean you can use his 4 and get minions and damage resistance with his augment but he is still just a farmframe at best 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSEP1 Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 Loot boosting + tanking/good cc depending on the build you use. He is THE loot frame. No other frame does that as well as he does it, so I would say that is his point, but the other skills are nice too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
War.Machine.9 Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 Fight me. As someone said before though, survival missions go way better with his despoil and defense missions are also helped with his minions acting as interference. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SneakyErvin Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 He's a farm, tank and utility frame. Extremely tanky and probably the best frame for survival missions (life support and health bubbles all over the place) plus he brings alot of nice buffs with his shadows for more static missions like defense. He also brings a nice armor debuff/cc with terrify. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shozanakh Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 Point of all warframes - bring variety to gameplay. Different art, different abilities and so on. Just to avoid boredom. Some frames fail at this, but Nekros is fine, he is different and usable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
...BlackSoul... Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 Game would be really boring if all frames would be good at everything... One could say there has been lately too good all arounders which make some of the more one or two trick ponies look bad. But all in all personally at least I like to play different frames more focused on one thing and trying to make them good at those and even sometimes trying to play "wrong" frames in certain situations as challenge and variation. If all would be good at everything, game would be so much more boring. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(PSN)boilerhogbc Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 One of the few frames to get any sort of major rework and you think Nekros isnt very good? Not everything needs to be a nuke frame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirTobe Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 For anything not involving farming, he's pretty dull and boring tbh, except for sending Nox and Bombards flying with his one of course. Lucky for him this game is all about farming though, so I tend to use him quite a lot for that, especially in solo. Just remember you need to cut up your enemies in pieces for it to make a difference, not melt them with elemental effects. Slash is your friend. Amazing how people point out his CC and tank abilities without hating, compared to any thread about Nyx who does it a LOT better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xXDeadsinxX Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 Just a loot frame, that’s pretty much it which is rather unfortunate. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All three of those have inconveniences. Hydroid’s isn’t super reliable, affects a small area, is active slow casting, and has a limited number of affected enemies. Khora is similar with a lower drop rate. Ivara is slow and affects only one enemy at a time in a short range. Nekros is set and forget, passive loot boosting over a large area. If you want more loot while going about your business, you bring a nekros. All have there places, sure. I think hydro is is better for torpid farming which is typically a tight organized team. Khora I really haven’t tried the looting augment yet. Ivara is good for boosting drops from a focused stream of enemies or only a few specific ones. Nekros is good for casually boosting loot in stuff like survival or defense where you are not a super tight team Though Nekros doesn’t bring much else to the table aside from tanking. Ivara is great at most anything, Khora is a nice tank/dps, Hydroid doesn’t really do anything else worth while in my opinion either.

Lutesque Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 More Loot Basically. HOWEVER he does have one trump card up his sleeve Most people forget this but Nekros's Terrify lowers enemy armor.... But yeah he's mostly just a Toroid Meat Grinder.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrakeWurrum Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 (edited) He's a tank and CC frame that's got great sustain. His first ability can hit decently hard, but is nothing to brag about. It does ragdoll enemies, though, which can be useful. His 2nd ability scatters a group of enemies, strips armor, and can slow with the augment. His 3rd ability isn't purely about more loot - it also brings more health and energy orbs, as well as ammo drops, and even more life support (in Survival). So it's good for lasting longer in a mission His 4th ability, especially with the augment, is about keeping Nekros from taking too much damage (and also helps reduce damage on the team), while also doing free damage to enemies. Most people only use him for the loot, but that doesn't mean it's all he's good at. Edited July 16, 2019 by DrakeWurrum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might as well call this mod 'Press 2 to now start your own typical slasher movie', because every victim seems to run slow in those films. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More accurate to say he trades off nuking for sustain. 3rd ability is useful for health and energy orbs, and even Survival mission life support.
