Nidus Rework Idea - Passive and Abilities.

Nidus is one of the many Warframes who's kit is simply outdated and needs big changes. Abilities like Parasitic Link no longer fit because no one wants to sit next to an enemy for the Link to remain active, and no teammate wants to babysit Nidus for bonus ability strength (or health). Larva does no damage and exists just for crowd control for Virulence, and Virulence is just Nidus stomping the ground 37 times for 10 stacks, while hoping Dante doesn't disintergrate Nidus' targets by reading his book.

I got bored and came up with ideas for a new kit for him. His passive is mostly unchanged but I wanted to lean into the theme of Infested's colors telling what kind of abilities they have.

New Passive Concept - Nidus' Ability Strength and HP Increase with Mutation Stacks and upon Nidus' Health depleting, 15 Mutation Stacks will be consumed instead and Nidus will gain rapid health regeneration. Additionally, Nidus's emissive color grants additional effects for his abilities or passives.

Green Emissive Color - (Toxin Ancient) Abilities/Summoned Infested are imbued with Bonus Toxin and Viral Damage.

Blue Emissive Color - (Protector Ancient) Provides Allies within Affinity Range with Damage Reduction and Health Regeneration.

Purple Emissive Color - (Disruptor Ancient) Eximus Units Damaged by Nidus's Abilities have their abilities deactivated and bonus damage is dealt to their overguard.

Red Emissive Color - (Default Ancient) Provides Allied within Affinity Range increased Ability Strength.

(Ability 1) Spawning Pod - Summon an Infested Eximus Unit that Follows you until killed or dismissed. (Units Level scale with mission level.)

Green Emission Spawns Toxin Charger Eximus.

Blue Emission Spawns Bioelectric Leaping Thrasher

Purple Emission Spawns Energy Leech Ancient Eximus

Red Emission Spawns Leeching Brood Mother Eximus

(Ability 2) Larva - Nidus attaches tendrils from his own body into enemies within range, dealing viral damage over time. (doesn't go through walls)

(Ability 3) Parasitic Virality - Activate a channeled ability that gives Nidus and allies within range, additional max Health and Viral Weapon Damage.

(Ability 4) Exalted Primal Strain Cannon

An Exalted Arm Cannon that launches Toxic Infested landmines. Upon exploding they leave behind toxic pools, dealing damage to any enemy that walks through it. Direct hits explode on impact.

(Yes this is Nidus Rework Propaganda. Yes I still support my Oberon, Chroma and Loki Rework Propagandists)
