CODEX

Mind control and psychic attacks make Nyx a very dangerous foe. Her ability to reach into enemy consciousness and manipulate their behavior can turn the tide of the battle.

This is Nyx, manipulator of minds.

On her own or with a group, Nyx can turn the tide of battle in her favor.

—Lotus

Release Date: January 29th, 2013

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.

Trivia

Main article: Nyx/Main § Trivia (edit)

• Nyx is the name of the Greek goddess of the night, the offspring of chaos.
  • During development, Nyx originally went by the name of "Jade".
• Apart from the helmet and gender, Nyx's overall design is almost identical to  Excalibur. This was the result of a scrapped attempt to create alternative genders to the Warframes during the pre-alpha stages of the game.
  • This prototype Nyx was practically identical to Excalibur, with the only major difference being the body shape. Prototype-Nyx's base helmet (which was no different from Excalibur's base helmet design-wise) would occasionally reveal itself in earlier builds of the game, replacing the icon of the Menticide Helmet blueprint during extraction.

    

    Screenshot of the Prototype/Menticide icon bug.

  • For a long time, the silhouette  Chaos projected in front of affected enemies also used prototype-Nyx's helmet, rather than her current base helmet. This was eventually corrected in Update 12.4 (2014-03-05).
• Nyx is similar in design to Nadia Sudek's Nemesis armor from Dark Sector.
  • The Nyx Nemesis Skin further reveals the fact that Nyx was most likely based on Nemesis.
  • This makes Nyx the second-oldest known Warframe design.
• Oddly, Nyx's default color scheme has three separate energy colors, the first being the deep blue energy seen within her Warframe such as the lights upon her helmet, the second being on minor effects within abilities and along her wrists and the last being for major power effects, a bright orange glow as seen around enemies within  Mind Control.
  • All of these will be set to one custom color if her energy color is changed.
• When using  Mind Control on an enemy, the Tenno script that appears and floats around the enemy says "Obey".

  • If the target dies before Nyx finishes her casting animation, energy used for Mind Control will be refunded.
  • The target cannot see the red outlines of enemies.

Nyx's Weapon damage is buffed based on incoming absorbed damage when the Ability ends. Introduced in Update 6.0 (2013-01-29)	Strength:100 (passive damage gain) 200 (minimum damage)
			Duration:N/A
			Range:12 m

• Info
• Augment

Info

• Nyx must have max energy in order to activate the ability.
• Nyx enters a meditative state that allows her to absorb incoming damage and become completely immune to all forms of crowd control. A passive damage threshold is created that increases by 10 every second (e.g., an Absorb lasting 10 seconds will inflict a minimum of 100 damage. This threshold has a minimum damage potential of 200. If the total amount of absorbed damage is greater than the damage threshold when Nyx leaves her meditative state, all absorbed damage is inflicted as  Magnetic damage to every enemy in a 12 meter explosion of psychic energy. Otherwise, the damage threshold is inflicted as  Magnetic damage over the same area.
• Absorb drains 20 energy per second, and will remain active so long as Nyx has energy. An additional 4 energy is drained for every 10 damage that's absorbed. Absorb will end if Nyx runs out of energy, or if deactivated by pressing the ability key again (default 4 ).
• Casting Absorb in the air will cause Nyx to stay suspended until the skill is deactivated.
  • Absorb will stop any movement achieved prior to casting the skill when used in the air.
  • Even after deactivation, no momentum will carry over. Instead, you will drop straight down.
  • This does reset the directional melee, however, and it may be used again to regain some momentum. Used in this manner, Nyx is able to "fly" across tiles so long as she has energy to cast Absorb.
• After not receiving damage for a short amount of time, the damage counter resets. This will not reset Absorb's total accumulated damage, however.
• Shields are allowed to recharge freely while in the absorb state, whether Nyx is being attacked or not.
