[WARFRAME] NIDUS EXPLOSIONS BUILD! | Steel Path Nuke!

let me ask you one thing [Music] explosions what's good folks it's nightmare frame here with a new warframe video coming at you with a nidus nuke build you heard me right a nidus build that can nuke now if you're wondering how is this possible that's all things to do with his larvae and the larvae augment larva burst the main thing about this augment is that it allows you to recast larvae usually you can't do so and larvae can be one of the most annoying grouping abilities all because you can't recast it and enemies can be stuck behind some obstacle wall door whatever you name it and you're just stuck there without a grouping tool but then this augment allows you to recast it but at the same time it offers you some additional perks one being is that it will detonate and deal toxin damage and the damage scales with strength and the amount of enemies grouped up within it but then you're thinking oh it does toxin damage but that's pretty weak against armored units exactly and that's where we're pairing this ability and augment with the helmet ability Theos strike Theo strength is styx's second ability it armor strips and shield strips so yes it's a complete defense strip and this defense strip is permanent to be honest that doesn't really matter for this particular situation however it also offers another thing healing because notice I replace the fourth ability Nas's main healing ability at the same time this is going to be a very odd nidus build because even though we're using larvae we're not technically using his first and third ability which can be quite odd because nidus has the stigma around him where he's just a solo Warframe and if you play solo with him he's all about his virulence he needs to step on enemies to build up Stacks deal damage so then it can be pretty much unkillable but then it gets really tiring another interesting thing about virence that people misunderstand is that it gives you energy no no no no no no no it refunds energy upon cast so each enemy hits will refund a portion of energy spent and this energy refund scales off efficiency so the more you spend the more you get back okay so here's an example I don't have much energy as you can see on the bottom right corner but if I hit enemies with my first ability I get some back but this is done better if you group up enemies and hit them you see how much I filled up here's a tip with virence notice how when I cast this ability I can't cast it again till it's finished its travel distance so to reduce the cast intervals what you can do is aim it at a wall now I can spam this ability so when you group up enemies make sure to group them up to a wall and spam it into the wall and this way you can easily build up Stacks pretty quickly but hey nightmare you said you're not going to use his first ability actually we will only use it for the first 15 Stacks because you need 15 Stacks to get Nas's passive but after that we never need to cast it again and why is that because enemies killed within larvae have a 50% chance to give you Stacks all right now let's actually take this to Steel path to show you how it works okay here we are in Steel path and I'm doing this in Mt funny enough people thought that it couldn't handle Mt enemies and I did show it on stream that Mt enemies are just normal enemies even if they deal more damage you're still quite tanky and they were worried about nullifiers and that also wasn't an issue guys nullifiers aren't your biggest issue do you guys want to know some of the most annoying enemies in the entire game fracks those grineer units that throw that freaking spear that shoves you out of your Warframe oh yeah those guys and ancient healers because they make their allly I CC immune and reduce their damage nullifiers are nothing and their other argument is that oh but nullifiers will reduce your Stacks that's one stack every 2 seconds how long are you going to be in the nullifier bubble seriously first thing I'm going to do is group up enemies and use my first ability and watch how I'm shoving my first ability into a wall just to build up 15 Stacks after that I prime them armor strip and and detonate or you can just Prime group armor strip detonate very simple group prime prime armor strip detonate it's that simple it's is the most simplest I know that's not a word it is the simplest rotation you could ever do my health is going down watch 900 boom fully healed Gro it's that easy and it makes night as mobile that's one of his main issues is that nidus isn't mobile he's quite a stationary frame where he has to cast his first ability all the time to build up Stacks also now we got exus I will use my sarant I'm not using the glaive but the sarant I'm armor stripping so it's just better to deal raw viral damage and it's easily done with the Sant since it's has the highest base damage what is it the highest base damage correct me if I'm wrong in the comment section but it is one of the highest damaging glaves in the game also pay attention to my stacks by the way look look look at how my stacks are growing we're in 60 right now and I haven't even used my first ability ever since the introduction oh look I'm losing Health boom bully healed even if I die I have my passive see I died and I can easily get those stacks back all right we got an acolyte Shields and armor gone all right he's good he's dead he's dead and guess what with theough strike you can fully strip V he takes ages all right here he is armor Shield Gone Raw viral damage he's dead and another good thing about the Sant is that it will still deal toxin damage even if you modded it with an element and toxin will bypass Shields so it's also a great option to use against Corpus eximus dead see how his health took damage before his Shields did because of the toxin damage from sarata very useful ancient healer giving protective Aura for allies PR radiation it's gone also another great thing is that I'm using the worm here the worm is so useful to actually prevent one status effect every 5 Seconds which makes nidus also a little bit more tanky o this is a nice clump of enemies oh beautiful we even got a second acolyte all right violence violence please all right no Shields no armor dead the toxin do will finish her off it's ridiculous isn't it okay with that demonstration assigned let's take a look at how I've built nidus quick rundown replacing the fourth ability with theough strike this is going to be my defense strimp and healing ability you only use verance right at the beginning to give you your initial 15 Stacks after that you you you don't need it anymore and the rotation is group armor strip press two again it's just that stupid that simple and for your archon shards I'm using two casting speed shards now I did do the build test where I didn't have these shards yet and it was still doable still looking just fine as you can see in the background footage however with the addition of these shards everything felt fluid a lot more fluid it was just so seamless how I can group Prime nuke for our Focus school I'm using zenic this is a nice Focus school for this particular build what does zenic actually offer well it has of course spring creates that little well around me that regenerates energy but you also have energy pulse this increases the energy or pickup by 50% pretty useful however we also have inner might every 60 seconds we get one free cast of an ability that does not consume any energy all right let's take a look at that build shall we in the aura Growing Power for the 25% bonus strength to everybody within this Aura radius including me of course this is easily done when I prime enemies and you as you saw I was doing a lot of that so this Aura has a very high up time in the Excellence bid sure footed because spending less time on your bunts is a huge DBS increase nightmare why do you need thisius has his third ability come here too close did you see me using the this ability I please answer me exactly because this ability is dead weight I don't want to be stuck there pulling on this useless little guy just so I can you know resist a knockdown or something I'm not standing in one spot I'm always moving in different parts of the room so for the consistency I have this and if you don't have this just get a time machine you guys don't own time machines come on man but seriously pain threshold or handspring very decent replacement strength at 209% with blind range R and the two umbral mods I do have overextended here for my main range and I'm able to top this out to 209% thanks to nas' passive it gets free 15% strength at Max rank so fairly useful so with 190 range I get 22 M of a r r suck and a 15 M explosion with larva burst arm Vitality intensify for strength and of course survivability giving me a decent chunk of Health Prime flow and Hunter drillin are my energy economy mods this gives me a large energy pool and this mod gives me energy when I take damage and nidus is nothing but health so him getting shot this is going to trigger quite a lot and for additional defenses I do have Arcane Guardian giving me 900 armor for 20 seconds and for additional strength I do have mol augmented notice how I have a lot of strength here some might think oh you just need 200% for the defense strimp why do you need all that additional strength well because larva burst also scales of strength so this increases my toxin explosion damage for the Epitaph build I've moded it for viral and radiation the viral is a damage multiplier done to the health and since their armor strimp that's going to be so beneficial for the toxin damage to deal even more damage to their health and for the radiation here is to remove that ancient healer Aura because your main source of damage is larvae and you can't deal damage if you can't group enemies damn yeah you were that is that is a good point damn and now moving on to the srat build your usual heavy attack explosion build but I just have one elemental mod North Wind because it's innate toxin B remove we have toxin damage put a single Elemental mod we get viral why viral they're fully armor viral more damage done to the health another good thing is that even if you mod it for an element it will still Force proc toxin so you have viral and toxin for my companion build I'm running the worm Prime why the worm well because of negate this is such a beautiful freaking mod and for some additional healing I also have medy Ray s it will occasionally heal its owner Mystic bond this will give me one free cast after my worm has used five abilities and finally manif a bond to reduce its cooldowns all right folks this is the explosions nidus build so yeah if you like this type of load out do try it out anyway folks that has been it for me I do if you enjoyed this video and if you did please feel free to leave a like sh share and subscri for more Warframe content streams and so much more do refer to the description thanks for watching and as always a peace bye-bye now
