The psychic mind manipulator is here, it’s time to discuss our femme Excalibur - Nyx!
Release date: 2013-01-29
Passive: Enemies are 20% less accurate when targeting Nyx (except while Absorb is active).
Mind Control - Nyx invades the psyche of a target, confusing enemies and making them fight for the Tenno cause.
Psychic Bolts - Nyx launches a cluster of force bolts at enemies, using telekinesis to adjust flight paths and seek nearby targets.
Chaos - With a powerful psychic blast, Nyx causes mass hysteria on the battlefield by confusing all enemies to attack random factions.
Absorb - Nyx absorbs all incoming damage and channels that collected energy into an explosive radial discharge. Nyx’s Weapon damage is buffed based on incoming absorbed damage when the Ability ends.
Acquisition: Blueprint purchasable from the market, components drop from Phorid on assassination missions that appear during an Infested Invasion.
I personally find mind-control the most fun ability nyx has. There is just something hilarious about a Butcher or scorpion that just goes absolutely ham on his former allies.
But yeah apart from the fun factor it’s not really useful for anything.
