nova and eidolons

[lulialmir]

I got back at playing with Nova, and when using here, i remembered she had the most damaging ability in the entire game, and that ability does radiation damage

 

so, would she be a good eidolon hunter, because of this?

[kontradictions]

I believe that it's not affected by Warframe abilities so sadly, no Nova won't work.  As much as it pains me to say. Anti-Matter Drop might work but at the rate some people can bring down the Teralyst, it might be too late once the drop reaches the Eidolon.

warframe ablities don't affect Eidolons

[Kyryo]

You mean the Antimatter Drop? 

I have no idea. but as i can store up to 50k rad dmg, it could do a pretty good nuke.

 

But i doubt that no-one tried it already. i think it just does not collide well cause of the S#&$ty eidolon's hitboxes

if abilities doesn't work on eidolons, why for example, titania's razorwing ability does? (i dont remember its name)

No

That's because Razor wing affects your Warframe and your weapons; much like Rhinos roar ability. Abilities that directly target the Eidolons wont work (eg: Energy Vampire, M-Prime, etc).

because its not a power per se but actually projectiles from her pistols or her blade.

[NightBlitz]

i dont think it'd work too well, explosives have a hard time targeting the synovas, so it'd only be usable for the last phase

Eidolons are immune to most, if not all damaging warframe powers; hence why the current dominant strategy is to focus on frames with weapon damage buffs (Chroma, Rhino, etc.) instead.

[Ham_Grenabe]

Yeah, the eidolons appear to be almost completely immune to debuffs (I believe some auras, Shattering Impact, and the Kavat Swipe still affect them) and status effects, so only powers that affect your frame or your allies are useful.

Nova does a lot of things well: massive AoE damage with Antimatter drop, easy fast-travel for the whole team with Wormhole and Molecular Prime is one of the best CCs in the game, but Eidolon hunting is where she falls short as direct damage doesn't affect sentient, whereas buffed weapon/Amp damage does so the emphasis is on buffer frames and healers for keeping Lures alive. the f4rames one would normally see on an Eidolon Hunt are:

Chroma - Scorn buff for team weapons

Harrow - Crit buff for weapons / invul during Energy Spike phase.

Oberon - team/lure healing, resistance to Energy Spike.

Rhino - Team weapon buffing

Trinity - lure/team healing, resistance to Energy Spike

Volt - uses Shields to buff Amp Damage.

Nova doesn't really fit into these roles, I'd say the Best a Nova can do is slow down Vomvalysts with Molecular Prime so team members can kill them faster and lures can eat them quicker, and maybe use Wormhole to reach the Eidolon if it teleports (though if your strategy is good and you have Charged Lures, he shouldn't teleport anyway).

No, because it doesn't effect them. Just like pretty much every other damaging abilty
