Absorb, on the other hand, renders you totally invincible and even lets you reflect back enemy fire, while acting as an aggro-attractor/tank, which iron skin doesn't do. Just think of it like this; if Nyx could move freely while using Absorb, the game could be broken in as simple a way as turning on Absorb and flying around a bit, because it attracts enemy fire, letting you play the part of an invincible, mobile Decoy that can fly and can deal massive amounts of damage, while still having access to your abilities. Point is, the choice was made for it it act as it does for balancing purposes. Personally, this augment was enough to make me start using Nyx again after having not touched her in 6 months, because it turns her into something I feel Warframe was lacking; a true, aggro-attracting tank. Use Iron clad charge with max armor power strenght build...140s? i laugh as they tickle me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YpsitheFlintsider Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 Assimilate is one of the best augments in the game. Wtf are you guys talking about? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enedora Posted December 3, 2016 Share Posted December 3, 2016 Two ways to abuse Assimilate to it's fullest and be a god: 1. Melee options Nyx can use Electromagnetic Shielding with the Ack&Brunt, and reduce allied damage taken by a substantial amount, continuously. The damage siphoned off from Electromagnetic shielding doesn't charge the Absorb, or cost you Energy, meaning you just mitigate damage constantly for your entire team (in range). Use extremely mobile stances (such as Tempo Royale for Heavy blades) with any weapon of your choosing, and you can still move quite effectively while putting out a great deal of damage and being invincible. Mind you, your abilities are not restricted, and you can very much still run a Chaos build on top of all this. 2. Ranged options Weapons that normally would self-damage when used at close range has no effect on Assimilate Nyx. Therefore, you can use all of those explosive weapons that would normally kill you in medium or point-blank range with no penalty. Using high Status weapons (or better yet, 100% status chance capable weapons like Boar Prime) can turn you into an armor-shredding, blast-spamming, immortal nightmare at a range. Or you could do both. Immortality has the benefit of allowing you to do whatever you really want though, since you're immortal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wtf are you guys talking about? No, it's not. It's boring and makes the skill worse in everyway other than letting you move, and you have to give up a mod slot for it. Plus, you move slow as hell, in a game about speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
