0 (PSN)abbacephas Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 Nekros makes the better tank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Aeon94 Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 Nekros Prime is better tank with combination of Health Conversion , Shield of Shadows and Despoil. Despoil makes Nekros to spend health for each desecrate and losing health allows to gain Health Conversion stacks with HP orbs ( 450 armor per stack , total of 1350 armor ). Also Shield of Shadows give damage reduction for per Shadow linked to Nekros ( capped at 90% reduction ). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Xantheis Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 it depends greatly on how they are built and what you are trying to do with them. Frost is a defense mission tank and can lock down an objective whereas nekros can be a farming frame and can tank well. I use my nekros pretty exclusively as a farming frame mostly because there are other tank frames that do it better. (Inaros/Valkyr/etc.). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 NinjaZeku Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 If you take "tank" to mean "keep the rest of the Squad from getting damaged" then it'd be Frost, as, Snow Globe aside, a high-Range Avalanche is pretty ridiculous and even has an Augment that grants the Squad a(n easily renewed) layer of Iron Skin.

0 rudman88 Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 depends on your mission level and what you are fighting against. at lower level hands down frost is better. at high level nekros is better. why ? at low level, you got vitality steel fibre, nothing can break your shield. And avalance is good CC but shiel dof shadow and nekros 4th skill wins at high level because it scales up with enemies level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 (PSN)CoolD2108 Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 Nekros. Better tank, better supporter and the fact that his shadows pull aggro also makes them the better wall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The damage reduction % per linked shadow doesn't increase with enemy / shadow level (and enemy Health / Armor vs damage output scaling is skewed thus that higher-level shadows aren't really gonna deal massive damage relative to enemy Health at that point). If you're talking about how Snow Globe is too weak for higher levels, you might want to change your build into a max Efficiency one, to allow stacking Globes complete with absorb periods during which enemy fire makes the Globe stronger (which actually makes this ability scale with enemy level, funnily enough).

0 Endriago-Hunter Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Tank = Nekros Defensive = Frost I have never thought of Frost as "tanky" but rather a frame that can take and hold a location very well. Where as with Nekros, built right, can be very tanky and generally all around be useful on a team. Two different play-styles, I would do both, Frost for Def,interception, mobile defense etc and Nekros for survival, elim, and etc, or at least think on what style to prefer.
