Nyx is one of my main frames because of how flexible and complete she is. If I’m doing Incursions or a lich hunt, Nyx is my easy lazy pick.
Psychic Bolts is unique amongst fullstrip abilities because it’s one-handed, so you can stay mobile on linear mission types, and Pacifying Bolts provides a very long stun on non-combat mission types like Captures. It also has extremely low power requirements which can be met with shards alone, so I have my Nyx built just for Range and Duration, and one of my Arcanes goes towards Arcane Consequence so I can get through linear missions faster.
CC is useful if an objective defense comes up, since nuke frames can’t always keep up. And unlike Loki, she brings a native fullstrip at the cost of very slightly less taunt power.
Absorb is in a weird place as I think it’s optional now that helminth exists. Chaos (+/- Chaos Sphere) and Condemn handles all my survivability needs. I only use it on my lich hunting loadout in case I get an early lich.
Mind Control is my only huge disappointment. Overguard kind of spoiled the fun of stealing eximus abilities for yourself, especiall Heat and Energy Leech eximus. I barely use Mind Control anymore, although it does have nice non-eximus targets still.
I would also love to see the (now broken?) Psychic Bolts function of removing infested auras expand to removing all Eximus abilities and doing so through Overguard.
Huh, that’s a nice write-up. Maybe I’ll look over my Nyx again sometime.
Couldn’t you have mentioned Arcane Consequence being interesting a few days ago?
(Also, tiny nitpick; Ash with his shuriken augment also has a one-handed strip so Nyx’s is technically not “unique”.)
