Mutation is endless. The ravening plague-bearer returns in a long-unseen form, seething with a primal strain of the Infestation.

Abilities

Passive

If Nidus is killed with at least 15 stacks of Mutation, those 15 stacks are consumed; this grants 5s of invulnerability and restores Health to 50%.

1Virulence

Rupture the ground with a damaging fungal growth that steals energy from each enemy it strikes. For every five enemies hit, the Infestation mutates, multiplying its destructive force.

2Larva

Spawn an Infested pod that erupts with tendrils, latches onto nearby enemies and pulls them in. Enemies killed while held have a chance of generating a Mutation stack.

3Parasitic Link

Bind to a target with parasitic link. When cast on an ally, both the host and Nidus have their Ability Strength and Weapon Damage increased. Linked enemies take some of the damage inflicted on Nidus.

4Ravenous

Gluttonous maggots swarm nearby enemies, feasting until they are hit with Virulence and burst with Infestation. The maggots benefit from Mutation and each enemy hit adds to the Mutation stack.

Lines from the official update notes that mention this entry.

  1. Update 44: Iceblade of Narin
    • FixedFixes towards Nidus’ Ravenous not moving with the elevator in Ascension.
  2. Update 43: Jade Shadows: Constellations
    • AddedImage Description: Nidus stares off into the distance with his helmet open while standing among his Ravenous Infestation.
    • ChangedIncreased Nidus’ Health from 555 to 675, and Nidus Prime’s Health from 650 to 825.
    • ChangedVirulence is often cast over and over to quickly build Mutation Stacks. Our aim with the following changes were to make Virulence more impactful when building Mutation Stacks, while hopefully reducing the need to spam-cast.
    • ChangedVirulence now does damage upon initial hit, and then continues to do damage over time for any enemies touched by Virulence during its duration.
    • ChangedThis initial damage and the damage over time both contribute towards Mutation Stacks, meaning Virulence won’t have to be spammed to quickly gain Mutation Stacks.
    • ChangedAlso slightly increased the base Duration of Virulence growths.
    • ChangedImproved Virulence’s ability to move across surfaces of varying heights.
    • ChangedLarva is a crowd control tool that synergizes with Virulence, but it was in need of a slight quality of life lift:
    • ChangedLarva can now be recast, which will remove the previous Larva in the process.
    • ChangedThe most pressing issue to address with Parasitic Link was its ease of use, especially for controller/mobile players. The goal of these changes is to make Parasitic Link more forgiving to cast and maintain.
    • ChangedImproved the targeting on Parasitic Link, as it would often require too much precision for a fast-moving game.
    • ChangedRecasting will also now immediately move the Parasitic Link to the new target.
    • ChangedPlayers can recast Parasitic Link on the same target to refresh duration.
    • ChangedParasitic Link no longer costs Mutation Stacks to cast. It now costs 25 Energy.
    • ChangedRecasting Ravenous to refresh its duration (while you’re standing on it) will now cause Maggots to explode.
    • ChangedPreviously they would use the Stack count when Ravenous was initially cast.
  3. Update 39: Isleweaver
    • FixedFixed Nidus’ Ravenous Maggots not triggering Arcane Camisado.
  4. Lavos Prime: Hotfix 38.0.12
    • ChangedReduced the Ducat selling price of Nidus Prime Neuroptics to 65 as it will be available at an uncommon rarity with his upcoming Prime Resurgence Relics. Stay tuned for when you can expect that rotation!
  5. Abyss of Dagath: Update 34
    • ChangedLavos, Nidus, Nidus Prime, and Kullervo all have buffs to their Armor values as a result of this change.
    • ChangedEx: Nidus Prime’s Armor stat increased from 910 (previous) to 1,050 (new with this update) with max Steel Fiber Equipped. With all 3 Umbral Warframe Mods equipped, this buff results in a difference of 1198 Armor (previous) to 1470 Armor (new with this update).
  6. Update 33.6: Echoes of Duviri
    • ChangedNidus Prime
    • ChangedReplaced Rank 5 Steel Meridian sacrifice of Nidus Prime Neuroptics with Garuda Prime Neuroptics.
    • ChangedReplaced Rank 5 New Loka sacrifice of Nidus Prime Neuroptics with Garuda Prime Neuroptics.
  7. Update 33.5: The Seven Crimes of Kullervo
    • FixedFixed Nidus missing his Mutation Stack UI after replacing his Virulence at Helminth.
  8. Veilbreaker: Revenant Prime: Hotfix 32.0.9
    • ChangedReplaced Steel Meridian sacrifice of Nezha Prime Neuroptics to Nidus Prime Neuroptics.
