It is thin on armor (110th of 117), which is what a build has to answer for.

(Abilities)
-
01 Mind Control 25 energy Subsumable
Nyx seizes control of a target's mind, compelling them to fight for the Tenno cause. Controlled enemies have increased Radiation Status Chance. When Nyx shoots them, they also have an increased Damage Multiplier.
Augment: Mind Freak
-
02 Psychic Bolts 50 energy
Nyx unleashes a volley of psychic bolts that track and strike nearby enemies with telekinetic precision. When enemies are slain, additional bolts scatter to new targets. Striking foes weakens their defenses and transfers a portion to Nyx.
Augment: Pacifying Bolts
-
03 Chaos 75 energy
Nyx releases a devastating psychic pulse, disorienting enemies in a wide radius and forcing them to turn on each other. Confused foes lash out at random factions.
Augment: Chaos Sphere
-
04 Absorb 75 energy
Nyx draws in and contains the damage dealt to her and the damage confused enemies deal to each other then converts it into a devastating radial blast. Following the blast, she enters a brief invulnerable state and gains a Weapon Damage boost proportional to the absorbed damage.
Augments: Assimilate , Singularity
Costs are base figures, before efficiency.
