NYX

Psychic attacks make Nyx a dangerous foe. She reaches into enemy consciousness to provide crowd control and turn their attacks back on them. Such manipulation can turn the tide of battle.

Nyx throws out Chaos so enemies turn on each other instead of you, then leans on the Assimilate augment to turn Absorb into a mobile invulnerable shell she can shoot and melee out of while soaking incoming damage. She is a crowd-control and survival tank for Steel Path defense and endurance runs, not a damage dealer.
