Nezha, Nidus, or Hydroid?

[nellanella]

I have one Warframe slot left (yes I can get more if I trade for plat but that's not the point of this question), which should I get and why? I like DPS and preventing enemies from attacking you.

Nidus

[Vulbjorn]

Nidus undoubtedly. Hydroid is arguably the weakest of the three with very lackluster moveset and is scheduled for rework, Nezha can be a good controller and protector, but is somewhat... unwieldy.

[nellanella]

Thanks, I'll go do his quest now.

[Neoprimal]

^^^ Nidus Main, No question he's overpowered right now. Hence why my end-game goal is to 100-Forma him

His first generates Stacks, Hit enemies with it. Every enemy hit adds 1 quarter of a Stack.
His second pulls in nearby enemies, This is EXTREMELY helpful in hitting multiple enemies with his First
His third can be cast with 1 Stack onto an Ally or Enemy, If attached to an Ally it will boost you and your allies power Strength by 10% - 25% depending on Stacks while linked Enemies receive a portion of damage Nidus receives as Health/Shield Damage also dependant on Stacks.
His fourth is amazing, It takes 3 Stacks and spawns this huge Energy-Colored Infested area which increases yours and your teammates Health Regen values by 10 - 20 Dependant on Stacks and spawn infested cysts that track down and latch onto enemies and deal Toxin Damage based on Stacks, Hitting the cysts with your 1 causes them to explode dealing set Blast Damage also dependant on Stacks.
Here's the best bit, Nidus' Passive grants him an instant revive with all the perks if you have 15 or more Stacks, This can be done an infinite amount of times so long as you have 15 Stacks.

Be aware with Nidus that Nullifier and nullfying bubbles will strip your stacks, if you come into contact or step inside them. You should always try to destroy the bubble and kill them from the outside.

Also beware nidus seems to have no resistance what so ever to fire, electricity, procs of any type, acid or really any element damage of any type since his last nerf.

Around lvl 50-60 flame weps and all destroy him tho his damage output makes up for this shortcoming.

As for hydroid his entire build is around cc he can easily control the battlefield just his damage is rather low.

nezha personaly one of my favs due to good stun + good defence + ultiment mobility.

Use his 3 to link to an enemy unit and it makes him immune to all status procs.

None of us are going to believe you unless you provide more evidence than just a screencap of the mission results, dude.

of course not, god forbid that an anti meta frame breaks the 5th wall. Yall might lose your minds if you accept it.

i believe it.. there are ways to maximize every warframe in game... tho you as a person may not know or have tried to that doesnt mean others who have put the time in cant or will not... so i believe it cuz i have don it... its like someone saying that Mag sux... i can prove them wrong as well.... just make sure you have a detron (mara) on you and you will be fine... im just stating a way around a tone of the bs excuses that people formulate to ignore the obvious

[primobrainlet]

I would say nidus, then hydroid, then nezha. Nidus farming is an enourmous pain, but he is extremly powerful, and one of the best tanks. Next is hydroid, while hid dps may not be great, he is a very good cc and is exceptional at locking down an area. also pirate frame. Nezha is third, he, as someone else said above, is very unwieldy, warding halo is decent, but nothing special, firewalker combined with spinning is a good area lockdown, but not amazing, his fourth is ok, decent cc and his second is ok as well, just no that special. Nezha is very fast, but is so squishy that she is probably my least favorite of the three

[Fate (-{SoH}-)]

@anonumus i never said he was a bad frame just that his damage is low compared to other frames.
Hydroid can easily control the entire battlefield stunlocking every enemie.
Personaly find it a fun frame that can deal with even type 3 void enemies with ease.

@phell You'll find even with the link at max strength you'll die instantly to fire, electricity and acid after lvl 50.

Not to mention most of corpus weps seem to bypass his defences.

@lonemushroom nezha is a guy remember u wrote she in that last sentence.


If i had to personaly pick between them i'd most likly go nezha.

Sorties and all are a breeze with a well built nezha. (no potato or forma)

Then nidus who took me maybe an hour to farm (got all 3 pieces in a single run)
Strong but until you got stacks is pretty useless thus once you start going downhill you begin to snowball downhill.

then hydroid who is easily in my top 5 of most hated to earn frames (tho none come even close to my hatred of earning atlas)
Great all rounder for low-mid lvl enemies can handle high lvl enemies but needs either insanely good damage weps or teammates with strong dps frames.


Also if someone said mag is bad they are clearly an idiot it's basicly impossible for ur shield to drop, can set up a kill zone bubble that vaporises anything that touchs it ect.

I'v tried every frame and there is only 5 i dont like.
Oberon, chroma,trinity(hate pure support),banshee and wukong.

no offense dude but 30 waves is low level content, do 60 to 80 with that much damage delt then you can have something to show, all frames in the game can do that much damage with a good weapon.

he is not going to get those same numbers that way, hydroid is an area lock down and cc frame, maybe he could do a screenshot with him zoomed on a high level enemy in his tentacle to show he is viable to the naysayers?
