what if nidus had a different for his infesting stomp

[Deshiel]

I always thought that an infestation based warframe would be more frenzy and primal based than Valkyr. So the current set of power partialy disappointed me for the lack in that department.

Instead of a stomp. Nidus should transform his arms to giant infested blades and instead of just pressing 1 to stomp a wave of enemies, he would have to lunge in between them and gain infestation stack from slashing them to death. Pretty much like Valkyr's razor claws work.

Her (Valkyr's) literal theme is "Rage" whilst Nidus is "infestation" which he does well. Valkyr is actually in need of work in comparison.

Nidus is plenty wild and frenzied with his maggots 2 and 1, just depends on how you look at it.

Maybe Garuda will be their sweet love child and give you the Prototype dream you so wish for.

I think instead of stomping Nidus should run up and kiss them.  Or maybe puke blood on them.

I'd rather be the current apha-infested Nidus who commands the infestation to do his bidding than being a lone beast.

Was also thinking if 2 x mutation stacks > monster level, when killed they turn into friendly boiler pods then fight for you for some time once hatched.

Nidus is disease themed. He uses the infestation to do his bidding. Valkyr is visceral and rage based, and similar to a big cat like a mountain lion or a lynx. Disease is much less frenzied than a beast. Nidus does his theme well, the same with Valkyr. I look forward to Garuda, because she will be the cold, indifferent version of Valkyr. More elegant.

So instead of the stomp, he would get Excal's Slash Dash/ Valkyr's Hysteria. And instead of pressing 1 to stomp, he should press 1 or e to slash the enemies.
I don't see much improvement. The others said, why Nidus does his theme well, and why it's pointless to make him an other Valkyr.
Plus I like how his 1 looks, I would not like to see an other exalted melee weapon/ charge in ability like Rhino's Charge, Atlas's Landslide, Excal's Slash Dash etc. We have plenty of those.

You just said it, we don't need frames with the same powers

Hoping for this.

Valkyr destroys, Nidus consumes. Nidus assimilates. Nidus evolves

That said,

I'm not opposed to this reskinned Slash Dash idea on principle, he can still do the other things with this idea

[Ejuz]

Too much work. Not only do you want to change flavour but whole animation. It would be better if he used his 2 new arms when casting larvae.

You're describing what the Infestation can become. Valkyr is already a manifestation of that. Excalibur literally manifests his own energy blade. Maybe they could have a frame with exalted Tonfas as an effect for your desired idea. Garuda looks cool.

Nidus is not about pushing those limits or being feral like normal infestation, he's all about control. He decides where and when it spreads, he has more in common with someone like Ember in the sense that where she throws fire, he throws infestation.

And adorable maggots of course. I want a maggot "noggle" except it's an actual maggot that just stays in one spot and wiggles, changes to match your Nidus if you have one.
