At higher levels his Adaption points are not going to be solely used to boost his 1 but to use his passive to keep him alive. Dropping into a mission is 1 is pitiful but that's the trade off off it growing to be so strong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose that is one way too look at it :) Maybe we'll finally have a frame that can deal decent damage in the lv100 + missions :) though as you say he gonna need to be built up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dako_Shark Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 I agree that his 1 is SUPER strong, but that's only after you have like 50 stacks or so. Otherwise I haven't noticed that it's been that OP, though yeah, use his 2 then spam 1 seems to be the main go-to for it. Though I'm a bit saddened that the tentacles don't, A) grab enemies that come close for it's duration, possibly like he has a big range when first cast then it shrinks to a smaller range, or B) Can be recast when one is up. Since it'd be a really good CC. The only real complaint I have is that some of the art assets don't change colours with your frame. XD Maggots are always his default colours, and same with the tentacles. So once that gets fixed/changed I'll be super happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrangerOLOLO Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 Is the armor stacking really caped at 250? if yes, I'm sad ; ( p.s. Nidus still is really damn tanky tho! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smilomaniac Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 Possible bug: Nidus' first ability does not hit infested pods from Boilers. Don't know if it's intentional, however I doubt it. It *does* work on the Broodmother leeches however, in terms of refunding and building his meter. In regards to the meter, it's exactly what I and many others predicted; Unless you're doing a mission with waves, you won't get to use his ultimate throughout the entire map. My suggestion would be to cut the requirement to cast it and cut the recharge you get from using it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marshmellory Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 i bought him as soon as he came out and i have to say, probably the best designed frame in the game right now. all of his abilities work well together and it's incredibly satisfying to cast Larva + Virulence and watch 10+ enemies fly out of it as your Mutation count skyrockets.

Smilomaniac Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 Additional potential bug; Nidus' 1 does not creep along stairs and certain ramps - it will abruptly end instead. Is somewhat an issue on the Jupiter Corpus defense tileset, where several stairs lead to the objective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ro-Phoenix12 Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 He is epic!!!! I only played with him for a couple minutes and he was awesome!!! I love him he is refreshing to the game play and requires a bit of skill in setting things up. When i get to effectively play as him i assume i will have loads of fun. I do not regret my purchase at all! Thumbs up to you DE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sasquatchias Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 Personally my biggest issue with Nidus is his Stacking Mechanic, in that I feel there should be more ways to earn stacks. Being limited to earning stacks with your 1 and 4 is a bit meh in my opinion, with the time it takes in normal missions (basically not endless mosh pit mob missions) is a bit too long to really get and take advantage of the further mechanics behind him, or even reach his Mutated State. I think if there were a third option to earning Stacks he'd be a bit better off with his mechanics. Other than that I find the frame is fairly solid, though I do think it'd be nice if Nidus had a way to spawn additional Maggots at his current location as well as opposed to only on the Infested Grounds of his ultimate for when he has to move on.

Twerking_Alpacas Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 Issues: 1. While it seems that Nidus is perfectly aligned to tackle long defense runs, his 1st ability is only good on regular mobs, once enemies start having armor towards the lv 60-70 range, Nidus Q starts to deal 1/10 damage. You'll have to bring out some other tools/guns to bring those hardy folks down. 2. Nidus 2nd ability doesn't play well with other ragdolling abilities and frames, including vauban, valkyr, inaros, and other niduses. Somehow its "Suction Power" loses out to other abilities and they will have priority over yours. 3. In a pubby game, its hard to ramp up stacks due to pt.2 above. Additionally anyone with an aoe weapon like simulor will take all the fun out of nidus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GOMiCHO Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 Farming his parts is such a pain. So far, everything just leaves on the first round or the machines get destroyed. I only managed to finish one game of 3-4 rotations, all we got were 80 endo. So, I made 0% progress on collecting his parts the past 4 hours. Cmon DE, I just wanna open the door ;( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Askell91 Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 (edited) I thought it's gonna be a meh frame but... i love him. He is realy fun to play. The synergy between his abilitys are realy good. It's not a spam 1 ability frame. Feels good. Nice job.

jfhsanseiIII Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 (edited) I think the frame flows very well. I've been putting him through the ringer all morning on infested maps and have enjoyed myself the whole way. His '2' feels a touch clunky. I can't tell if it's because of me not aiming well enough or just some bugs. It tends to go in walks or under the ground from time to time.

Cyberhazard Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 (edited) Possible bug: his 1st ability doesn't always start. I have to spam it for like 10 seconds for it to land or move back and forth till it launch. Other than that, The frame is just epic, I mean, he's fun to play, his abilities are nice, I'm just disappointed that his second skill doesn't continue to grab enemies as long as the duration is not over. Because when someone else CC , like vauban, valkyr etc. the second skill is purely useless, the other CC have priority over Nidus's one. He reward players that use his synergy, not hard to master, he's epic. the Hero that infestation deserve ! The size of his 4th ability should also scale with range, even if it doesn't spawn more infested kamikazes, it's more rewarding to see the area expand from the range you added in his loadout. Great frame DE, the community is proud of you ! Edited December 23, 2016 by Cyberhazard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TenGaugeBoson Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 Man....Nidus is just fun...Haven't had this much fun in a while.

Jhaelen Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 Very impressed with the frame. Fun to play and his skills have a great synergy. Thanks DE... this is so much better than press 4 to win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hukurokuju5 Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 - damage with stacks is super high on 1 and 4 4 is the weakest part of his kit. - CC unreliable: limited by # of maggots and their respective movespeeds, damage takes too long/inconsistent amout of time to trigger.

I've been using it on high level Star chart stuff with mid/low tier weapons and find it working well enough for me to get things done. I think it also depends a lot on how you use the other abilities as well though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UnknownCoffeeRebel Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 Its ,hands down,my favourite warframe so far! ...First and foremost,it opened the door....and left me with lots of questions...and concerns....Ordis,torch the room ...Both visual and ability-wise this frame is my bae! It has that prototype vibe to it...and the small things are epic-the unique look aside,the fact that its literaly one of a kind is epic-and that's just barely scraching the surface-the ultimate ability spawns not only ...oddly beautifull infested flora,but it also generates tentacles that stick on walls...its amazing...and the stack mechanic is....lovely....hands down,this is now my favourite frame...ever....and i doubted i will ever like anything infested related....Nice job DE...nice job.... ...however,this door....what was beyond....it...confuses me....scares me...yet,why does it feel soo....oddly natural..(is it related to the upcoming syndicate save and assassinate shadow of mordor-ish system?...hmm) ...and,MAJOR SPOILER FOR WAR WITHIN,the Operators actually are refered to as void demons by this....hellspawn....i wonder,what do you have in store for us...you've done it already,now go ahead and do it again-blow our minds....!

KuramaKitsune Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 it wants to be FED and i want to FEED it. my first thought was maybe unused stacks at the end of a match had a hidden counter that feeds that thing. then i thought maybe forma fed it each time i forma nidus also, there are fish under your feet in that room. also there is a sleeper pod in the back ,,, LET ME FEED MY ROOM!
