What is Nidus Good For?

Nidus, the Infested Warframe, has been a topic of discussion in the Warframe community for its strengths and capabilities. In this article, we’ll be diving into what makes Nidus such a powerful and formidable Warframe.

Survivability and Health Regeneration

One of the primary advantages of Nidus is his incredible survivability. His Corpus of Infested Flesh abilities allows him to regenerate health while injured, making him a great choice for damage absorption and tanking. Additionally, Nidus’s passive ability, Absorption, allows him to absorb nearby enemies’ attacks, converting those attacks into health regeneration for himself. This makes Nidus almost immune to damage in the mid-range, allowing him to focus on shredding enemies without worrying about going down.

High Damage Potential

Nidus’s Pustule and Vulpion’s Frenzy abilities allow him to deal massive area damage, making him a great candidate for Crowd Control and clear-out duty. His Pustule ability deposits infectious spores on ground units, causing them to become Irritants, which explode later on, dealing damage to enemies who stand near them. This sets up a chain reaction of damage throughout a room, making it incredibly difficult for enemies to stay alive and give him a significant advantage in combat.

Crowd Control and Tackling

Nidus’s Scourge ability disarms and roots enemies on affected ground, rendering them unable to deal damage or move. This allows you to manage enemy positioning and focus down a single target, making take-out missions much easier and efficient. His Scourge also sets up opportunities to grab enemies with his Grabbys, allowing you to take-out difficult-to-reach enemies, eliminating flankers, and creating breathing room in tight spaces.

Why Nidus is Hard to Kill

When opponents engage Nidus, his health regeneration and Absorption combine to make him a formidable opponent who is difficult to take down. It takes a significant amount of damage to push through his health regeneration, and in most cases, he’ll likely already have Absorbed so much damage that he’ll have enough room for healing.

Frequently Asked Questions

• When do I use Nidus in PvP? Nidus thrives in PvP situations where he has time to set up and create distractions, and his survivability allows him to last longer in the fight.
