    Nyx, like Caliban, improves exponentially when you replace the weird and out of place ability with a better one, be Gloom, Xata’s Whisper, Condemn(for shield tanking) or Nourish.

    For Nyx its her 4, Caliban his 1.

    Caliban’s persistent aoe shield/armor stripping field is insane in the right conditions(E.G. Interception, Defense, Mobile Defense.)l

    Nyx gets insane with a magnetic weapon and a Jade Eximus. Take out the overguard, mind control, congrats, you have a pet jade light.

      Caliban in general is really strong any time he gets to camp, namely conditions that can let his damage buffing shine and let him manage his ridiculous energy economy needs.

      The difference in reception between Caliban and Xaku despite their similarities really does my head in. Excited for the rework though!

        IMO: Xaku has a very good and obvious tank in his 4.

        Caliban is harder to figure out since its built around shield tanking and shield regen, without building for shields like Hildryn. You need to manage his 3 for that tanking to work, and frankly his 1 is just a mean trap.

          That makes sense! I imagine it’s also why Mag is the most-used debuffer/CC frame by a long shot, since she has very straightforward survivability tools.

      Pillage Nyx is quite good, and pairs nicely with Chaos and range for a CC build. That’s how I run her for things like mobile defense and interception. Nyx absolutely doesn’t need Nourish. She’s not that energy hungry.

      Agreed about the joy of using a bullet hose/beam weapon to knock down Overguard then mind control an eximus!

        True. Tbh I use Gloom or Aquablades with surging blades depending how I feel on Nyx.

        I have the Nourish on a lot of frames that don’t need it just because of Circuit. Generally rely on the pet giving me that. Especially now.
