Nidus can also spread this virus to other players he comes into contact with in combat and in a (/wiki/Clan_Dojo) (Clan Dojo) 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.   When entering the Helminth room, Nidus will automatically switch to his fully infested form (as he appears with 10 Mutation Stacks). As he leaves the room, he will revert to his normal appearance. Nidus' appearance changes as he accumulates (/wiki/Nidus/Abilities#Passive) (Nidus/Abilities) 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.

Nidus possesses various passive mechanics highlighted in the tabs below:     Mutation Stacks    Undying    Augment    Rank Bonuses          (https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/warframe/images/7/70/MutationGauge.png/revision/latest?cb=20161223045358) (MutationGauge)         (https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/warframe/images/7/70/MutationGauge.png/revision/latest?cb=20161223045358) (MutationGauge)    Mutation gauge at 100 stacks.   Mutation Stacks are a resource unique to Nidus, indicated by the Mutation counter and gauge displayed in the lower-right on the HUD, above the ability icons.  The gauge is divided into 5  sections which represent the number of hits dealt to enemies via Nidus' abilities, while the counter at the center of the gauge keeps track of the number of Mutation stacks up to a maximum of 100  . When generating Mutation, the sections light up clockwise. Once all 5 sections have lit up, the gauge completes a cycle and the sections become unlit again, while the counter increases by 1 Mutation stack. The following abilities generate 1/5th  of a Mutation stack: Each enemy hit with (/wiki/Virulence) (Virulence130xWhite)  (/wiki/Virulence) Virulence   . Each enemy hit by (/wiki/Ravenous) (Ravenous130xWhite)  (/wiki/Ravenous) Ravenous   ' maggot explosion. Each enemy killed from any source while held by (/wiki/Larva) (Larva130xWhite)  (/wiki/Larva) Larva   at a 50%  chance. Abilities are not required to deal damage to enemies, only ability contact is needed to increase Mutation stacks. When gaining or losing large numbers of stacks, the gauge only changes one at a time, making it difficult to estimate the actual count. This can be bypassed by briefly switching to the (/wiki/Operator) (Operator) Operator , as this will instantly refresh to the current amount of stacks.     Mutation stacks are stored until used by the player. Stacks will not disappear in the event of a host migration. Ability-nullifying enemies such as (/wiki/Nullifier_Crewman) (Nullifier Crewman) Nullifier Crewman will drain 1  Mutation stack every 2  seconds, ramping up the drain rate the longer Nidus remains in their radius. Each Mutation stack causes the gauge to gradually appear more infested, and upon reaching maximum stacks the counter is hidden and the gauge is overlapped by Virulence's ability icon colored in red and black.   The amount of Mutation stacks stored benefits Nidus' abilities: Increases the damage of Virulence and Ravenous' maggot explosion. (/wiki/Parasitic_Link) (ParasiticLink130xWhite)  (/wiki/Parasitic_Link) Parasitic Link   costs 1  stack to activate instead of using (/wiki/Energy) (Energy) energy . Ravenous costs 3  stacks to activate instead of using energy.   Nidus' appearance changes as more stacks are collected: With the base skin: 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, certain sections of his currently-equipped helmet will open up. With the base helmet, the sides of his head extend outward to form a pair of horns, also exposing many more tendrils. With the (/wiki/Nidus_Prion_Helmet) (Nidus Prion Helmet) Nidus Prion Helmet , the "mouth" and the ligature open up, revealing Void-like energy underneath. With the (/wiki/Nidus_Myxini_Helmet) (Nidus Myxini Helmet) Nidus Myxini Helmet , the helmet opens up down the middle to reveal a monstrous mouth-like face.     With the (/wiki/Nidus_Phryke_Skin) (Nidus Phryke Skin) Nidus Phryke Skin : At 3 stacks, he gains protective armor on his thighs, and his shoulder pads are covered in a cage-like armor with a protruding spike on the top. At 5 stacks, a large curved blade appears on each of the shoulder pad spikes. At 7 stacks, his forearms are lined with a curved blade that extends two large spikes. At 10 stacks, his face becomes covered with a crown-like visor.   With (/wiki/Nidus/Prime) (NidusPrimeIcon272)  (/wiki/Nidus/Prime) Nidus Prime   : 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.   When stacks fall below the required triggers, Nidus' appearance will revert to the appropriate stage.       If Nidus suffers fatal damage with at least 15  stacks of Mutation, Nidus will consume the 15 stacks to avoid (/wiki/Bleedout) (Bleedout) bleedout while receiving 5  seconds of invulnerability and restoring 50%  of his health.  A UI banner displaying "Undying" and an invulnerability timer will appear at the top-center of the screen while this passive is activated. The required amount of Mutation stacks will be visibly subtracted from the counter and gauge. If Nidus has fewer than 15 Mutation stacks, all stacks will be consumed without benefit. If Nidus has 15 or more stacks while (/wiki/Quick_Thinking) (Mod TT 20px)  (/wiki/Quick_Thinking) Quick Thinking   is equipped, Undying will be given a higher priority, triggering before any energy is drained by Quick Thinking.

Virulence's total damage uses the following expression when accounting for (/wiki/Ability_Strength) (AbilityStrengthBuff)  (/wiki/Ability_Strength) Ability Strength   and Mutation stacks: Amplified Damage = Base Damage × (1 + Ability Strength rank bonus + Ability Strength) × (1 + Number of Stacks)   With a maxed (/wiki/Intensify) (Mod TT 20px)  (/wiki/Intensify) Intensify   , 15% Ability Strength rank bonus, and 100 stacks, rank-3 Virulence's total damage will be increased to: 200 × (1 + 0.15 + 0.3) × (1 + 100) = 29,290 damage (decimals are rounded down to the nearest whole number during calculations ).     Energy refund scales inversely with (/wiki/Ability_Efficiency) (EnergyOrb)  (/wiki/Ability_Efficiency) Ability Efficiency   , meaning less Efficiency increases the amount of energy refunded. Energy refund value is equal to 1/4th of the ability's energy cost, meaning hitting at least 4 enemies minimum will restore the energy used to cast Virulence.   Fungal growth will only travel along terrain that can be simply walked upon, such as slopes.   Ability Synergy: Virulence increases Nidus's Mutation stacks by 1/5th  per enemy hit. While Nidus is connected to a target via (/wiki/Parasitic_Link) (ParasiticLink130xWhite)  (/wiki/Parasitic_Link) Parasitic Link   , using Virulence will spawn a second instance from the linked target that grows toward the targeted location, converging with the first instance from Nidus. Enemies hit by the second instance also increase Mutation stacks.   (/wiki/Maggot) (Maggot) Maggots spawned from (/wiki/Ravenous) (Ravenous130xWhite)  (/wiki/Ravenous) Ravenous   will immediately explode when hit by Virulence, stacking with Ravenous' Mutation gain.

Holding the ability key displays a rectangular range indicator on the horizontal plane in front of Nidus. Releasing the key casts Virulence. Range indicator color is affected by the chosen energy color. Player can move the aiming reticle while holding down the button to aim Virulence at the desired direction. While held, the player can still perform other actions such as moving, jumping, firing weapons, and casting other abilities. Releasing the key while in midair will exit range indicator mode without casting Virulence. While connected via Parasitic Link, a second range indicator visible to Nidus only will also appear around the linked target. While held, Maggots from Ravenous will be marked on the HUD, allowing increased visibility for selective detonation using Virulence.   Virulence will cast toward the targeted location regardless of Nidus' orientation. If cast in midair, Nidus will instantly drop to the ground to perform this ability. Cannot be recast until the fungal growth's maximum length is reached or until it cannot spawn any further due to obstruction. Therefore, (/wiki/Casting_Speed) (Casting Speed) Casting Speed only affects the speed of Nidus' stomping animation.

(/wiki/Teeming_Virulence) (Teeming Virulence) Teeming Virulence   Tips & Tricks   Can stagger enemies to help keep them in place for recasts. Can completely refund its cost when it hits at least 4 targets. 5 or more targets allow Nidus to earn extra energy. Due to the refund per hit always being kept at 1/4th the ability's cost, negative efficiency can be used to gain more energy over 4 hits at the cost of a higher initial cast cost.   Collect Mutation stacks to amplify Virulence's damage drastically over the course of a mission. Hold the ability key to line up Virulence on groups of enemies before releasing to cast. This is an efficient method to gather extra energy and collect hits for stacks. Use Larva to gather enemies in one spot, then unleash Virulence to optimize damage and stack collection. Casting Virulence while Parasitic Link is active allows both Nidus and the linked target to create a line of fungal growths from your positions toward where you aim. This allows Nidus to effectively extend his reach on Virulence, and collect double hits for stacks if both lines hit the same enemies. Hold the ability key to help determine where you and your linked targets' lines will spawn. Can detonate Maggots spawned from Ravenous by you and any Nidus players in your squad. Hits from both the fungal growth and maggot explosion each count toward the Mutation gauge. Blow up anyone's Maggots to help you and your brethren gather more stacks quickly! If the fungal growth cannot spawn any further because of obstruction, you can immediately recast Virulence. Since the speed of fungal growth increases with length, having a high (/wiki/Ability_Range) (Ability Range) Ability Range means the growth will hit the obstruction faster, allowing for much faster recasting.

The link persists as long as Nidus and his target remain in range of each other, lasting for (/wiki/Ability_Duration) (AbilityDurationBuff)   30 / 35 / 45 / 60 seconds or when manually deactivated by pressing the ability key again. When linked with an ally Warframe, Nidus and his target both receive a (/wiki/Ability_Strength) (AbilityStrengthBuff)   10% / 15% / 20% / 25% (/wiki/Ability_Strength) (AbilityStrengthBuff)  (/wiki/Ability_Strength) Ability Strength   bonus and a (/wiki/Ability_Strength) (AbilityStrengthBuff)   10% / 15% / 20% / 25% weapon damage bonus. Parasitic Link's Ability Strength bonus affects Ability Strength multiplicatively using the following expressions: Modified Strength Bonus = Strength Bonus × (1 + Ability Strength)   With a maxed (/wiki/Intensify) (Mod TT 20px)  (/wiki/Intensify) Intensify   and the 15% Ability Strength rank bonus, Nidus will have 145% Ability Strength, resulting in 0.25 × (1 + 0.3 + 0.15) = 36.25% Modified Strength Bonus displayed on the UI. Modified Ability Strength = (1 + Ability Strength) × (1 + Modified Strength Bonus)    Modified Strength Bonus then increases Ability Strength multiplicatively , granting 1.45 × (1 + 0.3625) = 197.5625% Modified Ability Strength that affects Nidus' other abilities while a rank-3 Parasitic Link is active. The Modified Strength Bonus is the same percentage for the linked ally. However, Modified Ability Strength's calculation will depend on the linked ally's own Ability Strength.     When linked with an enemy, the target is incapacitated for the duration while Nidus gains (/wiki/Ability_Strength) (AbilityStrengthBuff)   20% / 30% / 40% / 50% (/wiki/Damage_Redirection) (Damage Redirection) Damage Redirection toward the linked target. All negative (/wiki/Status_Effect) (Status Effect) Status Effects , including (/wiki/Knockdown) (Knockdown b)  (/wiki/Knockdown) Knockdown   and (/wiki/Stagger) (RollingDroneAvatar)  (/wiki/Stagger) Stagger   , are also redirected. Damage Redirection is capped at 90%  , achievable with 180% Ability Strength. Enemy target is invulnerable to outside sources of damage and immune to external crowd control effects while linked, but is not immune to damage and crowd control effects transferred from Nidus. All damage prevented by the external invulnerability are stored and dealt in full when the ability ends. Friendly fire is not transferred to the linked target.   Can link to enemies with (/wiki/Overguard) Overguard   , however they will not be incapacitated and can still attack.   Parasitic Link does not require (/wiki/Line_of_Sight) (Line of Sight) Line of Sight to maintain connection between Nidus and his target. If the target dies during cast before the link is attached, the single Mutation stack used for Parasitic Link will be refunded.   Ability Synergy: While linked to a target, using (/wiki/Virulence) (Virulence130xWhite)  (/wiki/Virulence) Virulence   will spawn a second instance from the linked target that grows towards the targeted location, converging with the first instance from Nidus.

Parasitic Link is a (/wiki/One-Handed_Action) (One-Handed Action) One-Handed Action and can be cast while in midair. Nidus and the target are visibly covered in infestation and connected via a tether of biochemical energy, which is affected by the chosen Warframe energy color. Cannot link to a target already affected by Parasitic Link. Multiple Nidus players cannot link to the same target, nor to each other while their own Parasitic Link ability is active. When connected to another Nidus player, both players will use the Ability Strength bonus from the casting player; the link will break if the partner activates Parasitic Link on a different target.

(/wiki/Parasitic_Vitality) (Parasitic Vitality) Parasitic Vitality   Tips & Tricks   Link with a nearby teammate or enemy for (/wiki/Virulence) (Virulence130xWhite)  (/wiki/Virulence) Virulence   to create two lines from Nidus and the linked target. This effectively extends Virulence's reach, doubles its damage output, staggers enemies in its paths, collects more hits for stacks, and earns extra energy for the cost of one cast. Linking with a teammate creates a mobile casting point that can relocate quickly to find new enemies. Linking with an enemy provides a stationary casting point that allows you move around to adjust Virulence's travel direction and length. Use Virulence's range indicator by holding 1 to determine the number of targets both lines will hit before releasing the button to cast.   Teammates with Warframes that possess high ability damage and Ability Strength-based effects are prime candidates for Parasitic Link. Alternatively, the Ability Strength bonus allows allies to use more balanced builds instead of builds that focus solely on Ability Strength.   Enemies with high health and armor values such as (/wiki/Heavy_Gunner) (Heavy Gunner) Heavy Gunners can absorb a large amount of damage transferred from Nidus. As long as Nidus and his target are in range of each other, Parasitic Link's biochemical tether will help you visually track your positions. Before reviving a downed teammate, link with a nearby enemy to protect yourself from taking too much damage. Linking with an enemy caught by (/wiki/Larva) (Larva130xWhite)  (/wiki/Larva) Larva   causes it to become immune to damage from outside sources, which may hinder your crowd control ability because Larva will go through its full duration before you can recast it. Press 3 to manually deactivate the link, allowing you and your allies to kill the enemy to end Larva early for recast. This immunity to damage can be beneficial for racking up the melee combo counter. Simply attack the target as many time as possible. Combine with combo mods like (/wiki/Blood_Rush) (Mod TT 20px)  (/wiki/Blood_Rush) Blood Rush   for best results.   Maggots from (/wiki/Ravenous) (Ravenous130xWhite)  (/wiki/Ravenous) Ravenous   will ignore your linked enemy target. However, maggot explosions will still count as hits for the Mutation gauge even when they cannot damage the target. When you cast Parasitic Link on an enemy with maggots attached, the maggots will detach once the link is established. Parasitic Link can be cast on the (/wiki/Juggernaut) (Juggernaut) Juggernaut , and though it will not immobilize the Juggernaut it will still transfer damage to it, bypassing the Juggernaut's normally-impenetrable armor.

Affected allies includes all Warframes, (/wiki/Companions) (Companions) Companions , (/wiki/Eidolon_Lure) (Eidolon Lure) Eidolon Lures , summoned allied units such as (/wiki/Specter) (Specter) Specters , allied (/wiki/Invasion) (Invasion) Invasion units, (/wiki/Rescue) (Rescue) Hostages , (/wiki/Kavor_Defector) (Kavor Defector) Kavor Defectors , (/wiki/Sortie) (Sortie) Sortie and (/wiki/Arbitrations) (Arbitrations) Arbitrations Defense Operatives, and (/wiki/Defense_Objects) (Defense Objects) Defense Objects .   Infested cysts form on the spawning grounds, hatching up to 9  (/wiki/Maggot) (Maggot) Maggots that seek out nearby enemies to feast upon. Once enemies are detected, Maggots frenzy with increased movement speed and leap toward their prey to latch onto them. While attached to an enemy, each Maggot will continuously stun its target and inflict 10  (/wiki/Damage/Toxin_Damage) (DmgToxinSmall64)  (/wiki/Damage/Toxin_Damage) Toxin   damage per second until the target dies or Maggot expires. (/wiki/Damage/Toxin_Damage) (DmgToxinSmall64)  (/wiki/Damage/Toxin_Damage) Toxin   damage is amplified by the number of Mutation stacks accumulated using the following formula: Toxin Damage × (1 + Number of Stacks)  Multiple Maggots can attach to the same enemy target simultaneously.   When Maggots are killed or are hit by (/wiki/Virulence) (Virulence130xWhite)  (/wiki/Virulence) Virulence   , when their hosts die, or when Ravenous duration expires, Maggots explode to deal (/wiki/Ability_Strength) (AbilityStrengthBuff)   100 / 110 / 125 / 150 (/wiki/Damage/Blast_Damage) (DmgBlastSmall64)  (/wiki/Damage/Blast_Damage) Blast   damage to all enemies within a (/wiki/Ability_Range) (AbilityRangeBuff)   4 meter radius.

Health regen per second and Maggot explosion and (/wiki/Damage/Toxin_Damage) (DmgToxinSmall64)  (/wiki/Damage/Toxin_Damage) Toxin   damage are calculated and predetermined when Ravenous is cast. All three will not be recalculated if any changes in Ability Strength and Mutation stacks occur while Ravenous is active. Ability Synergy: Maggots hit by (/wiki/Virulence) (Virulence130xWhite)  (/wiki/Virulence) Virulence   will immediately explode. Exploding Maggots increases Nidus's Mutation stacks by 1/5th  per explosion per enemy hit. If the maggot host dies to the maggots or Virulence, the host and any nearby enemy will count towards Mutation. This stacks with Virulence's Mutation gain per enemy hit. If the maggot host dies to other sources, the host itself is not an eligible target and will not count towards Mutation.     Has a casting time of 1.5 seconds. Ravenous can be recast while active. Only 1  instance can be active at a time. Recasting Ravenous while on the spawning grounds will refresh its duration without relocating it. Upon refresh, timer on the ability icon will continue countdown from previous remaining duration to 0, but spawning ground will not vanish until the newly refreshed duration expires.     Maggots and spawning grounds possess unique properties as independent entities from Nidus:     Maggot   Spawning Grounds         Maggots possess a base health of 1000  and draw enemy aggro. Maggots have their own rank equal to Nidus' rank (e.g., a rank-25 Nidus' Maggots will be level 25). Maggots are considered friendly to the Tenno. When Maggots cannot attach to enemies, they will instead bite or seek other enemies to latch on to. Maggot lifespan is tied to the duration of the ability, during which they will actively seek out enemies or wander around or away from the spawning grounds. Maggots will automatically explode when killed, when Ravenous' duration expires, when their hosts die, or when detonated by Virulence. On death, Maggots respawn from cysts throughout the duration of Ravenous, up to the maximum number of 9  active Maggots. Maggots will not attach to small enemies, such as a (/wiki/Brood_Mother) (Brood Mother) Brood Mother 's (/wiki/Maggot) (Maggot) Maggots and (/wiki/Kuva_Jester) (Kuva Jester) Kuva Jesters . Maggots use a custom model to differentiate them from a Brood Mother's Maggots. Nidus maggots are affected by his chosen Warframe energy color.   After casting Ravenous, there will be a 4 second delay before the Maggots start running towards/attacking nearby enemies. Maggots are not affected by (/wiki/Set_Mods#Strain_Mod_Set) (Set Mods) Strain Mods .     Spawning grounds is created at the location where Nidus casts the ability. Spawning grounds' infestation does not expand up or down high terrain elevations, but does flow up and down stairs and ramps. Within the spawning grounds, various unique models will spawn for visual representation only. Players and AI can path through them unhindered. Textures on the ground are blended with an infestation mesh. Three infested nests erupt on the edges of the infestation, positioned in triangular vertices. Nests glow, pulsate, and emit spore particles, which are affected by the chosen energy color. Nests also serve to maintain the Infestation. If a (/wiki/Nullifier_Crewman) (Nullifier Crewman) Nullifier bubble comes in contact with a nest, it will dissipate; when all three infested nests are dissipated, Ravenous will expire automatically.   Numerous patches of infested flora resembling tall grass encompass the ground, rustling when brushed past by players and AI while glowing in the chosen energy color. Several infested branches sprout from the infestation to attach to nearby walls and objects in vertical and diagonal axis. Branches glow in the chosen energy color.

(/wiki/Update_34#Update_34.0) (Update 34) Update 34.0  (2023-10-18)  Base vs Final Stats in Modding - Health / Energy / Shield / Armor Stat Overhaul  If you’ve spent any time invested in the deeper nuances of Modding, you may be familiar with “Warframe Math” - math that upon first glance doesn’t really make sense, but once you learn the inner workings of the game, it all comes together. While we can appreciate the value that complex systems offer to a certain subsect of players, there are other aspects of the game that should have clear and understandable outcomes. Namely: Shield, Health, Energy, and Armor Modding.  Pop quiz:  what is 300 + 440%? If you answered 740, you may just be an Excalibur player.  Vitality (+440% Heath), Redirection (+440% Shields), Flow (+150% Energy), and Steel Fiber (+110% Armor) come with large modifier values that don’t seem to match their outcome in-game. This is because these Mods apply their multiplier to the base stats of the Warframe - i.e., the stats you have at Rank 0. In the Excalibur example, a Rank 30 Excalibur’s Health stat of 300 earns an additional 440 Health from max rank Vitality (+440% Heath) since it applies to his base rank Health stat of 100, resulting in 740 total health.  In this update, we have removed this obfuscation by having Health, Shield, Energy, and Armor Mods apply to the stats of Warframes at their current rank. Continuing our Excalibur example, instead of Vitality always applying to Excalibur’s base rank 100 Health, it would apply to his Health stat based on his rank - namely, the stat you can actually see in your Arsenal. If your Excalibur were Rank 30, his Health stat would be 300, which means Vitality’s multiplier would be calculated off of 300.  With previous Health and Mod values, additional adjustments are needed to make this revision work while maintaining game balance. By only changing where the multiplier applies, a Rank 30 Excalibur would receive an extra 1,320 Health from max rank Vitality, resulting in a total health stat of 1,600. This outcome is a significant buff, which is not the intention of this system change.  To remedy this, we approached this problem in two ways:  1 - We reduced the overall multiplier for Health, Shield, Energy, and Armor Mods. Since these now affect Max Rank Warframe stats, these Mods need to scale differently to maintain the status quo. Additionally, we wanted these new values to be as clear and understandable to all players as possible! Here are a few examples of these value changes:  Vitality: Reduced from +440% to +100% Health Redirection: Reduced from +440% to +100% Shield Capacity Steel Fiber: Reduced from +110% to +100% Armor Flow: Reduced from +150% to +100% Energy Max  Note: These are not all of the Mods affected by this change. We share the comprehensive list further down in this section of the update notes.   Doing some quick math, this means that a Rank 30 Excalibur (300 Health) with a reworked Vitality Mod (+100% Health, applied to the final Health stat) would receive 300 extra Health, for a total of 600. That, in contrast, is a nerf, which we also don’t want to do.  So, our next step:  2 - We adjusted Warframe Health, Shield, Energy, and Armor values to keep the end result of the revised Mods as close to the original values as possible.  With this change, Excalibur’s Rank 30 Health stat is 370. With +100% Health from a max Vitality Mod, his resulting Health stat would be 740, which matches what it was originally.  While this path to the same result may seem a little complicated, the outcome matches our intention: we want players to be able to look at their Health, Shield, and Armor Mods, and be able to understand how they affect the stats they see in their Arsenal.  In addition to everything above, we also increased the base stat values for Warframes so that these revised Mods offer similar value for lower-ranked Frames. To do so, we reduced the amount of Health/Shield/Energy that Warframes earn per rank in half, and transferred the sum of that value to their base stats.  For Armor , this is the one stat that does not increase with your Warframe’s level (with some exceptions). Armor values across the board have been slightly increased to compensate for the Mod changes.  Not to beat a dead Kaithe, but Mods will now be applying to the Max Rank stat instead of the Base Rank. You may look at these numbers and think “nerf” or “buff” depending, but the outcome is that total Modded values are the same, if not a little higher in some cases. Here are a few outliers before we get into the nitty-gritty of it:  Nidus and Nidus Prime all have buffs to their Armor values as a result of this change. Ex: 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).    Warframe Stat Changes:  NIDUS Health: Base Rank - 455 (from 150) / Max Rank - 555 (from 450)
Shields: Base Rank - 0 (from 0) / Max Rank - 0 (from 0)
Armor: Base Rank - 350 (from 300) / Max Rank - 450 (from 450)
Energy: Base Rank - 100 (from 100) / Max Rank - 150 (from 150)  NIDUS PRIME Health: Base Rank - 550 (from 175) / Max Rank - 650 (from 525)Shields: Base Rank - 0 (from 0) / Max Rank - 0 (from 0)Armor: Base Rank - 425 (from 350) / Max Rank - 525 (from 525)Energy: Base Rank - 140 (from 125) / Max Rank - 190 (from 188)  While there may be significant changes to Warframe Stats and Mod values as a part of this overhaul, the end result is that your Builds should mostly stay the same. The key difference is the added clarity of what your Health / Shield / Energy / Armor Mods do in your Upgrade screens!

(/wiki/Update_32#Update_32.0) (Update 32) Update 32.0  (2022-09-07)  WARFRAME AUGMENT BUFFS PART 2  Nidus’ Insatiable  Was: Nidus has a 60.0% chance of generating an additional Mutation stack whenever he gains one, while standing in the Ravenous Infestation. Now: The chance to gain extra stacks now scales with Power Strength, and chances higher than 100% have the chance to give multiple Mutation Stacks. Ex. 150% is guaranteed 1 bonus Mutation and 50% to get a second.    Nidus’ Larva Burst  Was: Reactivate Larva to detonate and deal 300 Toxin Damage in 5m Range. This damage stacks for every enemy grabbed by the Larva. Now: Reactivate Larva to detonate and deal 600 Toxin Damage in 8m Range. This damage stacks for every enemy grabbed by the Larva.

This is particularly relevant for the healer/support class of Trinity who had become the go-to DPS frame in addition to the intended support roles. The re-release of Mods like Aviator added to some clever but ultimately uncharacteristic roles for Trinity.  (/wiki/Update_22#Hotfix_22.20.1) (Update 22) Hotfix 22.20.1  (2018-05-17)  Fixed casting Nidus’ Larva to pull AI from ships resulting in teleporting them back to the ship after the ability ends.

Fixed Nidus being able to use Parasitic Link on disabled Corpus Security Cameras and Turrets.  (/wiki/Update_19#Update_19.6) (Update 19) Update 19.6  (2017-01-11)  Increased the base health of Nidus’ Maggots to 1k. Increased Nidus’ Mutation Stack consumption from 10 to 15 when knocked into a bleedout state/death. The task of regaining 10 Stacks is quickly obtainable, making this consequence for dying too light. Although 15 Stacks is not a huge jump, we’re hoping it’s closer to that sweet spot! Entering a Nullifier bubble will now drain down Mutation Stacks the longer you are in the bubble. To increase the visibility of Nidus' Maggots, holding down Nidus’ Virulence will now display a HUD marker on them. Keep in mind that casting Virulence on Maggots cause them to detonate! Nidus’ Ravenous Maggots no longer auto detonate when feasting on enemies. Previously the Maggots could do a majority of the grunt work and you were able to watch the carnage and gain Stacks at the same time. Now to pop the Maggots you’ll need to cast Virulence on them and rejoice in your hard earned Stack accumulation. It’s also worth noting that with testing by our team, the Stack rhythm before and after this change wasn’t noticed at all. Improved the FX of Maggot explosion to better represent the intended area of explosion. Nidus’ Ravenous Maggots will still attack but no longer latch on other Infested Maggots or Kuva Jesters due to awkward animations. Fixed FX, Maggots, & Health regeneration while in Ravenous staying around forever if cast by a Client who leaves.  (/wiki/Update_19#Hotfix_19.5.7) (Update 19) Hotfix 19.5.7  (2017-01-06)  Fixed a script error from Parasitic Link ability. Fixed Virulence cast sound being doubled for Clients.  (/wiki/Update_19#Hotfix_19.5.5) (Update 19) Hotfix 19.5.5  (2017-01-03)  Fixed a crash that would sometimes occur by Nidus’ Maggots exploding when latched onto an enemy.  (/wiki/Update_19#Hotfix_19.5.4) (Update 19) Hotfix 19.5.4  (2017-01-03)  Changed Nidus’ Parasitic Link and Ravenous ability stat description from ‘ADAPTATION STACKS COST’ to ‘MUTATION STACKS COST’. Increased the brightness of both Nidus’ Ravenous Maggot tails and their death FX to improve visibility. Improved Nidus’ Maggot visibility if performance was suffering. Nidus’ Larva will now release an enemy if it fails to ragdoll them within 3 seconds. Before, enemies that were considered ragdoll immune (not including enemies trapped in Bastille) resulted in the inability to cast Larva again due to Larva staying perpetually latched to the enemy. Nidus’ Larva no longer latches enemies trapped in Vauban’s Bastille. Fixed a crash caused by Nidus’ Parasitic Link ability. Fixed Nidus' alternate animation sets displaying placeholder text. Fixed Nidus’ Larva getting destroyed by high damage Quanta alt fire. Fixed being able to heal Defense Targets with Nidus’ Ravenous ability.  (/wiki/Update_19#Hotfix_19.5.2) (Update 19) Hotfix 19.5.2  (2016-12-23)  Fixed Virulence going through enemies without hitting them.
