## **Nidus**

### Subsumed Ability

Larva

CODEX
Command the Infestation to mutate and grow ever more destructive.

> This is Nidus, the adaptive, the scourge.
> Nidus is a deadly plague for which there is no cure. You must control the strange disease.
>
> Lotus

**Release Date:** December 22nd, 2016

Epitome of the endlessly evolving Infestation, **Nidus** bends the vile corruption to his will, mutates his genetic potency to adapt and assimilates his victims with an insatiable parasitic hunger. Nidus and his strain developed in Update 19.5 (2016-12-22).

## Acquisition

Nidus' main blueprint is acquired from The Glast Gambit quest, additional main blueprints can be bought from Cephalon Simaris for **50,000 Standingไฟล์:ReputationBlackx64.png 50,000**. Nidus' component blueprints are acquired from Rotation C of Infested Salvage on Oestrus, Eris.

 Neuroptics Blueprint
 Systems Blueprint

All drop rates data is obtained from DE's official droptables.
**Expected** refers to *total* number of attempts a player can *expect* to need in order to receive at least one of each drop associated with the respective values.
**Nearly Guaranteed** refers to the *total* number of attempts a player needs to obtain a 99%, 99.9%, and 99.99% probability to receive at least one of each drop associated with the respective values.
*For more detailed definitions and information on how these number were obtained, visit here.*

## Lore

> Fair, but the Myconians aren't asking for charity. Their ancestral understanding of the Infestation comes from an Old War relic. A relic that I know, will be of extreme interest to you. Return the Triuna, and the relic will be yours. Fair compensation for the risk.
>
> Ergo Glast on Nidus during The Glast Gambit

Little is known about the history of the Nidus Warframe aside from its Orokin era origins. However, the Myconans have apparently used information learned from their time possessing the relic to produce the **Triuna**, a person with genetic immunity to the Infestation which they fear due to their hybrid nature, allowing them to harvest Infested flesh as part of their livelihood.

Nidus has a mysterious connection with the Helminth being that resides in the Orbiter, being the only Warframe that can purposely be infected by the Helminth Virus; the extent of this relationship is currently unknown.

## Notes

 ไฟล์:20161227215853 1.jpg
* As Nidus has no shields, any Hijack objective will drain his health instead in order to move.
	+ He also cannot receive overshields, or gain shields from allied Shield Ospreys, Orokin Drones, Hildryn's Haven, or Protea's Grenade Fan.
	+ His lack of shields prevents him from receiving shield gating.
	+ However, there are benefits with Nidus's lack of shields, such as:
		- The Decaying Dragon Key, having no negative effect, allows Nidus to carry it without issue.
		- The *No Shields* Nightmare Mode condition has no effect.
		- Cryogenic Leakage has no effect on his nonexistent shields. His friction is still affected however.
		- Magnetic Damage has no effect on his nonexistent shields. Energy drain and HUD disruption still occur, however.
		- Rage and Hunter Adrenaline always giving energy when damage is taken.
* Nidus can uniquely access the Orbiter's Helminth Infirmary without the Helminth Segment prerequisite. If he sits in the infirmary's chair, he will be injected with the "Helminth Virus", forming an Infested cyst on the left side of his neck after 24 hours and grows to full size after 7 days, while simultaneously "awakening" the Helminth which will begin to communicate to the Tenno. Nidus can also spread this virus to other players he comes into contact with in combat and in a Clan Dojo or Orbiter, causing the cyst to grow on their Warframe, and those Warframes can also further propagate the virus.
	+ The injection will only occur once, and will not happen again to additionally built Nidus. However, Nidus can still receive the cyst from another infected player.
* Nidus' appearance changes as he accumulates Mutation Stacks:
	+ At 3 stacks, tendrils will protrude from his neck and upper spine, while the carapace around his ribs will open.
	+ At 5 and 7 stacks respectively, the carapace around his thighs and arms will open to reveal more infested flesh and tendrils beneath.
	+ At 10 stacks, the sides of his head extend outward to form a pair of horns, also exposing many more tendrils.
* The bonus 150 armor that Nidus gets from leveling is **not** affected by armor-boosting Mods such as Steel Fiber; they only calculate off of the original 300 armor and the extra 150 is added at the end.
	+ Despite the above, at max level and max ranked full Umbral Mod Set, Carnis Carapace, and Armored Agility, Nidus can end up with 1342.5 armor (for an 81.7% damage reduction) and 1740 health for an approximate effective health of 9508, one of the highest of any Warframe.

## Trivia

 ไฟล์:Nidus.jpg
* The word *nidus* (Latin root: "nest") is defined as the site of origin for disease or bacteria or a place where bacteria multiplies.
* Nidus is the first Warframe to use Kuva as a Blueprint ingredient.
* Nidus is the second Warframe after Inaros to have no base shields whatsoever.
* Nidus is also the first Warframe to use another type of ability resource besides energy, in the form of Mutation stacks.
	+ This trend would later be followed by Baruuk, Hildryn, Gauss, Ember, and Grendel.
* Nidus is the first and only Warframe to innately regenerate Health.
* Nidus is the first frame to have extra stat bonuses when leveling up.
* The screech of Nidus' fourth ability was done by Digital Extremes sound designer, Willem Schonken.

## Notes

* Nidus Prime, compared to **Nidus**:
	+ Higher Health (175/525 vs. 150/450)
	+ Higher Energy (125/188 vs. 100/150)
	+ Higher Armor (350/525 vs. 300/450)
	+ Different Polarities (ไฟล์:Madurai Pol.svgไฟล์:Naramon Pol.svgไฟล์:Vazarin Pol.svg vs. ไฟล์:Madurai Pol.svgไฟล์:Vazarin Pol.svg)
* As a Prime Warframe, Nidus Prime possesses a special passive ability where contact with an Orokin Void Death Orb will release an energy pulse that grants **250** Energy to all nearby allies. This effect can only occur once per Death Orb, and can occur even if the Death Orb has been previously destroyed.
* Nidus Prime's appearance changes as he accumulates Mutation Stacks:
	+ At 3 stacks, black tendrils form on the left side of his face, as well as his entire left arm.
	+ At 5 stacks, the tendrils extend to cover his chest and back.
	+ At 7 stacks, the right side of his fleshy body becomes covered in a black mass, as the golden metallic spikes on his right arm protrude outward, while tendrils form on his lower body.
	+ At 10 stacks, the tendrils extend to cover his entire face and thighs.
* Virulence, Larva, Ravenous' Maggots and its Infested nests have unique models of Orokin design, appearing twisted and overtaken by Nidus' Infestation.
	+ Maggot Prime visually resembles Excalibur/Prime's default helmet.

## Trivia

* Nidus Prime was revealed during TennoCon 2021 on 17th July 2021. Players in the TennoCon Relay were granted an up-close look of his in-game model.
* Nidus Prime's concept art was illustrated by Mike Brennan, the original designer of **Nidus**.
* Nidus Prime is the ninth Primed Warframe whose non-Primed variant was unlockable through a quest (The Glast Gambit), after Gara, Octavia, Inaros, Titania, Atlas, Chroma, Limbo, and Mirage.
