Nyx Prime · The kit
Strip, riot, bank
Nyx is a telekinetic stripper whose 2 is a 125% Strength full armor-and-shield peel that steals Overguard. Chaos is the crowd. Absorb is the vault. Mind Control is the Helminth slot on most 2026 loadouts.

Psychic Pulse
Nyx gains critical chance on primary and secondary weapons for each confused enemy in Affinity Range, stacking to a cap. Chaos is a damage buff wearing a CC costume. Keep the riot running if you brought a crit gun.
Mind Control
25Nyx seizes a target. They gain Radiation status chance, and shots you land on them multiply their outgoing damage. Mind Freak (augment) adds movement and attack speed plus a damage multiplier. Useful on a heavy Eximus. Common Helminth slot — Nourish or Roar — once Bolts are the kit.

Psychic Bolts
50A volley of telekinetic bolts that seek enemies near your reticle. They stagger, strip armor and shields (80% at 100% Strength, 100% at 125%), and slow Infested. Nyx steals a chunk of armor, shields, and Overguard from each hit (Overguard steal caps at 7,500). Kills spray two extra bolts. Recasting cancels the current strip — do not spam. Pacifying Bolts (augment) confuses targets.
- Cost
- 50 energy
- Full strip
- 125% Strength (103% with CP)
- Steal cap
- 1,000 armor · 7,500 Overguard
Chaos
75A psychic pulse that disorients a wide radius. Confused enemies treat everyone as a target. Overguard units resist the flip until the Overguard breaks. Chaos Sphere (augment) leaves a lingering ball that catches new spawns. Duration and Range are the stats. This is how Absorb banks damage fast — they shoot each other inside your bubble.

Absorb
25 + drainNyx becomes a bubble that eats incoming damage and the damage confused enemies deal to each other, then slams it out as a radial blast. After the blast she is briefly invulnerable and her weapons gain a damage buff based on what was stored. Assimilate (augment) lets her move and fire during Absorb at an energy drain, with halved radius — infinite duration until the pool dies. Singularity (augment) pulls enemies in.

The Nyx loop
01
Bolts the pack. They are naked. You are slightly more armored.
02
Chaos if you want them busy.
03
Shoot, or Absorb and detonate.
04
Do not recast Bolts until the strip falls — recast cancels the current peel.
