How Nyx Absorb Work ?

[G4bor]

Can u explain me pls, when  nyx use the absorb, and there are 3 mob around her, each mob will get the full incoming damage, or they just get incoming/3 one by one?

Because when they get only the full/3, there is no point to ask friends to start collect damage on absorb-bubble, it is equal, when they shoot directly the mobs...

[Zhoyzu]

damage in = damage out

 

it doesnt go through walls meaning

 

100% dmg in (if all fools behind walls/outofrng) = 0% damage out (even though all the damage would have been used it hits nothing)

 

if 3 fools are shooting you and one ducks out and the other 2 dont then they get all damage you absorbed.

 

3 fools shooting, one more joins @ damage release all 4 take damage.

 

I suck so hard at math its not funny so dont ask me for mathematical. But if im not wrong or $&*&*#(%& then it is dmg/#fools

Damage taken gets absorbed and then dealt to enemies around you. If iam correct, the damage is capped at 1000 (+focus?) at max rank, like almost every aoe ultimate.

so, forget teammates and they damage...go simple, when no any party member, just u alone.

There are 3 moa in front of You.

 

question a)

Absorb ON. Each Moa do 100 damage on You. So the Incoming Damage is 300 (3 moa*100 dam)

When absorb finish, how many damage will go out to the moas? They will get 100 damage one by one (so summa dam out is 3*100), or you will push out 300 damage, which will not be separate, so they get 300 damage one by one? 

 

question b)

Absorb ON. Two Moa do 100 damage on You, and ONE do only 50. So the Incoming Damage is 250 (2*100 + 1*50 dam)

When absorb finish, how many damage will go out to the moas?

-They will get 250/3 damage one by one (so summa dam out is 250), or

- they will get 250 one by one, or

- two of them will get 100 and one of them will get 50 damage?

afaik it has no cap (wiki says) and it fades out the farther it goes

Wiki is saying many things, Saryn's ultimate actualy had wrong numbers for month(s). But from my experience in a void, being shot by 3 grineer gunners from ~1m it still did only 1k damage, therefor i would assume there is a cap?

damage in = damage out, meybe there is a cap

 

* also moa's take 3x damage from most abilities, because moa's body is their weakspot that takes 3x damage and many aoe abilities hit body part

In this case Absorbs seems to me a totally disfunctional skill for 100 energy.

In any situation the Mind Control (for 25 energy) or chaos (for 75 energy) can reallocate the damage from enemy back to the enemy (because the shot directly each other), plus this two skill let u chance to shoot them too, since donhave to meditate in the air. i have to wait a bit till i can test it, but i have chance to forgot absorb skill with Nyx.

[eStecko]

Well nobody is using it on Nyx anyway as Chaos with Stretch and ability time duration pretty much outclasses her other abilities.
