Nyx is a Warframe who excels at using psychic powers to manipulate and damage enemies, controlling the battlefield while forcing them into chaotic and unpredictable situations.
She specializes in turning foes against each other, weakening their defenses and causing confusion, allowing her to control both the physical and mental aspects of combat effectively.
With a combination of crowd control, defensive abilities, and damage amplification, Nyx can dominate encounters, disrupt enemy strategies, and support her team in a wide variety of missions.
How To Get Nyx?
Nyx can be purchased for 225 Platinum, or you can purchase her Main Blueprint and craft her once you obtain her Component Blueprints and craft them.
Blueprint and Components Blueprints
Nyx’s main blueprint can be purchased from the Market for Credits, allowing you to start crafting her once you obtain all three of her component blueprints.
Her component blueprints drop from Phorid, an Infested assassination target that appears only during Infested Invasions when a mission node becomes temporarily replaced.
You can also acquire Nyx and her components through The Circuit after completing The Duviri Paradox, offering an alternative method to earn her reliably.
