All you need to do is build stacks (by hitting people with your one) and you will gain armor with each one. Basically, you need vitality and steel fiber if you don't have a lot of stacks. He is a snowball frame, the more he is utilized the more powerfull he becomes.

You need to max your Steel Fiber and Vitality out. With his ultimate + passive regen you should never be down. Armored Agility can be useful too, but isn't necessary.

nidus player here!

throw on a max rank vitality and steel fiber and you're good for survivability. you're gonna want to build up stacks by hitting enemies with your 1 (your 2 helps out a LOT with this).

when you're at higher levels, your stacks become even more important since you use them for your 3 (transfers damage to an enemy you've linked to) and your 4 (creates a zone that gives you MASSIVE hp regen as well as creates maggots you can detonate on enemies for more stacks).

Vitality and all the armor you can throw at him. Get power strength, some range, and just streamline alone is fine for early casting. Because he has no shields, he can't benefit from anything related to shield buffing or debuffing.

He doesn't need shields either.

You don't gain armor with stacks.

What happens when you add 150% of 0 to 0?

First 5 stacks grant 50 armor each.

Just gain a stack, press 3, and let an enemy take the damage meant for you.
