Nyx Changes

[CJx101]

Just a few things I think could be really helpful for Nyx's abilities. 

 

1. A) Please please please add an indicator of some type, that is highly visible to all players, to the enemy that she uses mind control on. That way players know: "Oh hey that guy is now on our team, I won't instagib the heavy gunner shooting people for us." EDIT: Something MORE visible than a slight glow around the unit being affected, as most people I have played with don't see it.

 

B) I know mind control is pretty powerful, but I think the AI that Nyx mind control's needs to be somewhat more aggressive. Looks for and runs towards enemies and doesn't just stand there half the time.

 

2. Something needs to happen to physics bolts to make them even worth considering. Idk what, but something :/

 

3. Chaos is well, pretty damn good. Nothing really needs to happen to this to make it any better except maybe the enemies don't stand there for five minutes and do nothing after coming under the influence of this skill.

 

4. Absorb. It NEEDS to draw more aggro to be worth anything. And maybe absorb all damage from that aggro, double it, then explode outwards. Especially since it isn't affected at all by focus. Also I couldn't find anything about it on the wiki, does anyone know if it's affected by stretch? Seems like it would be but I can't tell.

 

Please feel free to agree or disagree with me, would love to hear anyone else's ideas. Just my own ideas.

There have been plenty of fix nyx threads and she does need work. Absorb already has an aggro mechanic by the way, it's the highest threat thing in the entire game. It's just enemies like to wait until it's gone to decide to shoot.

On the topic of Absorb, Antimatter Drop does the same thing. The only differences are that antimatter drop does 4x as much damage, and can be thrown/guided. So yeah, Nyx needs an update.

The target already glows in the energy color once hit with Mind Control.

Not true. For some reason they nerfed her aggro a few months ago. It ended up lower than Rhino with Iron Skin. So unless you are running Solo (without a Shade... -.-) you likely wont notice increased aggro after activating Absorb.

That's why I said HIGHLY VISIBLE. Most people don't see that small glowing color around the unit before they murder the S#&$ out of it. It's just not enough.

I actually love the giant radial stun from Chaos. Gives the team time to cool down and enemies will still shoot each other in 2 seconds.

Psychic bolts needs a lot of help but no one knows what to do with it lmao.

make it go through walls is all i can say

[Mikki79]

I found one use for psychic bolts, they do work quite well for killing light infested but that's about it. With streamline and the 2nd helmet you can spam them quite a bit, of course light infested are not a real threat so this is mostly just to level up Nyx faster by trying to get as much warframe xp from missions as possible.

[Psychic bolts]

Needs to go through walls and such, and should target weak spots on enemies.

[Mind control]

Fine as is. Somewhat situational, sure, but a good skill overall. (Teammates should probably get a shield buff from ospreys though).

[Chaos]

Really annoyed by the way it works now. Having to kill every enemy affected is annoying when a single enemy realizes they left the oven on and decide to vanish from the fight completely. Needs to just have a limit for how long it lasts, as that was the issue that created the nerf.

[Absorb]

Currently, absorb has a partial aggro mechanic, but enemies recognize Nyx as being behind something, and will usually just stare at you. Fix the aggro, and make it go through walls. (Some people have also reported that some light infested attacks aren't registering? Not sure if this is the case.)

All in all, Nyx could be an incredible frame if these small notches in her abilities could get sorted out.

This was written on my phone, so excuse any misspellings or odd auto-corrects. Also, first post! I look forward to being part of the forums!

mind control should make the enemy that you are controlling inmune to team mates fire.

 

absorb really needs to be able to go trough walls and crates, because after a while enemies stop shooting at you and get cover, so you end up killing like 3 of them, and the ones that doesnt get cover but are really close, like inside the globe doesnt get affected either.

I don't think mind control need reworking. Its just as useful for getting a heavy out of play while you shoot him down as is it for getting an ally.

 

We shouldn't limit it to one use.

I agree, still I think it needs a better indicator.
