[WIP] Eternal Nyx - Taking Assimilate to Unknown Heights

Eternal Nyx - Taking [Assimilate] to Unknown Heights

I know what you're thinking.. Why the fuck is the build not finished? right? Well, that's because you can literally put there whatever you want. Fuck, you can even slap in Peculiar mods for extra pizzazz

Also, Important note. This build uses a legacy Arcane Helmet, but it's easily replacable, so don't worry about it

What is [Nyx]?
[Nyx] is, normally, a control frame, creating **

Abilities:
Passive. Phased
Whilst [Wisp] is airborne she and her companion become invisible, until she lands or fires a weapon. The invisibility lingers for a split second after landing.
Hard Landings will dissipate the cloak immediately.
Melee attacks do not cancel invisibility, allowing [Wisp] to use air attacks with a stealth multiplier.

This is a very powerful passive that is easy to forget due to minimal visual feedback, so just remember this - Jumping = Surviving. Stay in the air as much as you can, but don't focus on it.
Use a bright Energy color!

  1. Reservoirs
    Bread and butter of [Wisp]. [Wisp] selects one of three Reservoir pods and puts it down. The reservoir pods have a range of 5 meters and last indefinitely, entering the area gives you a corresponding mote (or as I like to call it - a flower) that last for 38 seconds while outside of the range (Indefinitely while inside the range).
    [Wisp] can summon a maximum of 6 reservoir pods.
    Casting additional reservoir pods will replace the oldest pod.
    The three reservoirs are as follows:
    [Vitality]: increases maximum Health by over 1040 and restores 104 health per second.
    Haste: increases movement speed and melee attack speed by ~77% and fire rate by 104%.
    Shock: Stuns up to 5 enemies within 15 meters for 3 seconds every 3 seconds (Electricity proc)

The Reservoirs are removed by a nullifier bubble!
Buffs from multiple instances of the same type of reservoir do NOT stack!

In stationary missions, such as Survival or Defense set up all 3 of your reservoirs in an area that provides cover and still allows shooting, such as on a raised platform or around a corner, you can have two of such nests set up as per the limits of the ability.
In mobile missions such as Exterminate or Sabotage, use this ability while moving (Bullet jump at a 45 degree angle and use the ability mid air), alternating between the different buffs, in easy missions prioritize Haste, in more difficult ones, prioritize Health and Shock.

  1. Wil-O-[Wisp]
    [Wisp] summons a clone that travels in target direction for 5 seconds, while the clone is travelling, [Wisp] gains her passive even if on land. The clone taunts nearby enemies (Think [Loki]'s Decoy).
    [Wisp] may at any point use the ability again to teleport to the clones current position, doing so will grant [Wisp] 3 seconds of Invulnerability.
    Holding the ability button down when casting makes the clone move faster, when you release the held down key, [Wisp] will then teleport to the clone as though recasting it.

This is your panic button, if you feel like you will die, [Double Tap] the ability for invulnerability and keep on fighting!
This ability is also incredibly useful in Spy missions because it allows you to bypass lasers

  1. Breach Surge
    [Wisp] creates an area that expands into a 20+ meter radius area around her. Enemies in line of sight of [Wisp] and within range are blinded for 20 seconds. When damaged, the blinded enemies have a 10% chance to create a homing projectile that seeks the heads of nearby enemies, dealing Radiation damage with a ~77% status chance and inherits a damage multiplier of ~6x received by the source enemy to inflict on the new target.
    Killing blinded enemies has a 100% chance to release a projectile

Blinded enemies are susceptible to stealth damage bonus, but are not vulnerable to melee finishers.
Using this ability while targeting your Reservoirs will teleport [Wisp] to them and DOUBLE the radius of Breach Surge

This is your CC and DAMAGE! Use it whenever there are big groups of enemies around you or around your reservoirs!

  1. Sol Gate
    Don't use this.

Mod Explanation
[Corrosive Projection]: Please use this... Its a must against Grineer, necessary against Corpus Robotics and won't hurt you against the Infested.

[Blind Rage], Transient Fortitude, Intensify, Power Drift and Augur Secrets: Maximum power strength makes high level Wisp what she really is - a team support, while also giving you area damage through breach surge.

[Primed Continuity]: The added duration counters the negative duration we have from [Transient Fortitude] and increases the time our Breach Surge stays on enemies, while at the same time increasing the duration of buffs on allies whenever they leave the Reservoirs. Our invisibility duration on ground is also boosted, due to the higher duration of Wil-O-[Wisp].

[Stretch]: This makes your breach surge MUCH more useful, as normally the radius feels quite small due to the slow expansion, also improves QoL (:.
If you use an Umbral Forma, you can insert a fully ranked [Stretch], otherwise leave it one off for best optimisation, or replace with [Augur Reach]

[Steel Fiber] and [Adaptation]: Thanks to your Health Reservoir [Wisp] already has very good health, and good health regeneration, thanks to armor [Wisp] can make use of that regeneration much better. [Adaptation] is essentially another layer of armor and due to its mechanics it makes your health regeneration and buffer have incredible synergy. These will make you virtually immortal if you use your other options effectivelly.

Alternatives
[Stretch]: Since its mostly a QoL mod, it would be the first mod to replace. Consider extra survivability mods if you feel the need, such as [Armored Agility], [Rapid Resilience] or [Handspring]. Alternatively you might prefer other QoL mods such as [Flow], [Streamline] or [Rage].
Umbral mods: These are a luxury and require a lot of additional forma investment, you may replace these mods for their standard counterparts without too big of a downside.
[Primed Continuity]: Feel free to replace with standard Continuity without much worry.
Corrosive Projection: If you're playing solo or with bad/new people, replace this with [Growing Power] for an extra boost.

The end
I haven't explored the arcanes as much as I'd like or enough to give a recommendation because I don't enjoy the content that rewards you with them. Apologies.

Having played with arcanes for a bit now - Highly recommend [Guardian], its not unreasonable in price and it legit makes you completely immortal.

Thank you for reading my guide and I hope you learned something from it! Check out other guides I've made on this website on the right hand side of the page or by clicking on my name at the top of the webpage. (When I've made more that is) (:

P.S. A few numbers in the ability descriptions might be slightly off, due to minor changes in the build after the initial version.
