Nidus can uniquely access the Orbiter's Helminth Infirmary without the Helminth Segment prerequisite.Finally, unlike any other Warframe with the exception of his Prime Version, Nidus possesses health regeneration.Rage and Hunter Adrenaline always giving energy when damage is taken.Energy drain and HUD disruption still occur, however. Magnetic has no effect on his nonexistent shields.Cryogenic Leakage has no effect on his nonexistent shields.The No Shields Nightmare Mode condition has no effect.

The Decaying Dragon Key, having no negative effect, allows Nidus to carry it without issue.However, there are benefits with Nidus's lack of shields, such as:.His lack of shields prevents him from receiving shield gating.He also cannot receive overshields, or gain shields from allied Shield Ospreys, Orokin Drones, Hildryn's Haven, or Protea's Grenade Fan.As Nidus has no shields, any Hijack objective will drain his health instead in order to move.Nidus has a mysterious connection with the Helminth being that resides in the Orbiter, being the only Warframe that can purposely command the Helminth to infect him with the Helminth Virus the extent of this relationship is currently unknown.

However, the Myconians have apparently used information learned from their time possessing the relic, the Nidus blueprint, to produce the Triuna, an infection passed down from generation to generation, which the Infestation fears due to the hybrid nature of the resulting host, allowing the Myconians to harvest Infested flesh as part of their livelihood. Little is known about the history of the Nidus Warframe aside from its Orokin era origins.
