Nixis, Hunger of Oryx: Difference between revisions

|ability= Teleport <br> Ultra Smash <br> Summon [[Taken Blight]]s <br> Darkness Bolt

Nixis is more dangerous than his Fallen counterpart due to additional abilities. For ranged combat, he uses an [[Arc]] [[Shrapnel Launcher]] with great accuracy over long distances. Guardian that gets too close will either get knocked back or killed by his Ultra Smash, in which Nixis performs a ground stomp that creates a large area-of-effect shockwave. If so wishing to close the gap and use this attack, or wanting to make a withdrawal, he can rapidly teleport in unpredictable directions. This can make it very difficult for a Guardian to keep him pinned down in his line of fire. In addition, like [[Taken Captain]]s, Nixis can send out a Darkness Bolt that will blind and deafen Guardians that they hit, and he will summon [[Taken Blight]]s throughout the battle to get support from his minions. These blights will also disable agility and recovery for Guardians who step in them. However, like Aksor, Nixis can be temporarily stunned by hard-hitting headshots from weapons like [[1000 Yard Stare]] and the [[Sleeper Simulant]], allowing the player the opportunity for a series of follow-up shots that can help whittle away at his health until he is killed.
