Nyx and her powers revisited

[Daziri]

So...

Nyx is supposed to be a mental manipulator and her powers are psychic. Current Nyx basically sabotages herself with Passive ruining your 1 and 2 and 3.

Rework;

Passive:

Mental Strength

Enemies affected by Nyxs abilities take increased damage from weapons. A straight debuff to enemies so Nyxs role should remain Debuffer/Support. 

 

1- Mind Control:

Nyx sends out a bolt of psychic energy. Enemies caught at target location are mind controlled and fight for Nyx. Enemies controlled that were previously affected by Chaos become Empowered dealing 500% damage.

(Enemy control cap is 6)

 

2 - Chaos 

Nyx sends out a wave of psychic energy which starts mass confusion in area around her causing enemies to get stunned for a short duration. After the stun wears off the afflicted enemies start attacking friends or foes doing reduced damage to Nyx and her allies (-75% on Nyx and -50% dmg on other Tenno). 

 

3 - Nightmare

Nyx can activate this ability to force nightmares upon the psyche of her enemies, seeing visions of their demise. Enemies affected by Nyxs disruptive abilities become feared. Nyx also applies an elemental proc on enemies based on her energy color while amplifying her controlled targets damage similarly. (Electro, Toxin, Heat, Cold)

What use are psychic powers if you cannot mess with your enemies mind?

 

4 - Absorb 

Nyx creates psychic sphere at target location. The sphere draws aggro and absorbs all incoming damage for a duration. After the duration the sphere explodes inflicting radiation proc to all enemies hit and knocking them down. Nyx can recast this ability to detonate it early. 

(No damage cap)

(Drains energy on cast and less while active)

 

A notable mention: Revenant previous ult (mass sleep) could also be Nyxs 3/4. Similarly enemies who explode inflict mind control.
