Nyx is a psychic-themed Warframe released in Update 6. Her abilities allow her to disrupt movement and coordination within enemy ranks, making her a formidable ally in battle.

[Nyx] Abilities

The best part about making this build is that all of her abilities are useful and none of them are feeling lackluster or useless. Duration acts as efficiency when it comes to [Nyx]'s Absorb which also allows for Duration on both Chaos and Mind Control. Strength gives Psychic Bolts high armor reduction and allows Absorb to charge up damage faster. Range all around helps every ability and so everything works out nicely.

Stats to consider

I mainly use this build for defense missions. Whenever there is enemy buildup around the objective I use Absorb to quickly build up damage and wipe out the enemy. At intervals throughout the round, I cast Chaos to help mitigate incoming damage. Psychic Bolts are good to use against enemies with high armor such as Heavy Gunners and Bombards. Mind Control is good to use on targets that do high damage such as Heavy Gunners.

An interesting aspect of [Nyx]'s Mind Control is when used on a Hyekka Master (or other similar enemies that spawn creatures) Hyekkas that are spawned by the Master will not die after the Mind Control duration runs out. This means you can have some extra Hyekkas running around damaging the enemies for an infinite amount of time so long as they don't die.

I leave [Fleeting Expertise] at rank 4 of 5. This is because efficiency is capped at 175%, with both [Streamline] and [Fleeting Expertise] you can have 190% efficiency. Meaning that 15% efficiency is being wasted. By leaving [Fleeting Expertise] at rank 4 of 5 you save 10% Duration while maintaining maximum efficiency.

I use [Energy Siphon] as the aura just as my default. [Corrosive Projection] can work too but, with the use of Psychic Bolts, it isn't too crucial. Feel free to switch around the aura to whatever suits you.

For the Exilus Slot, I recommend using [Cunning Drift] for the extra range, but using [Power Drift] can be useful too. Again, feel free to put whatever you feel fits best in the Exilus Slot.

Overall, this build came together quite nicely and it leaves all of her abilities feeling useful.

Buena Suerte, Melooo
