Warframe Killer Concept: Nidus
Killer: The Mutated
Name: Nidus
Power, Infested Evolution:
“Ever-changing and ever ravenous, he consumes and evolves like a disease.”
Holding the power button causes The Mutated to charge up an attack, pressing the attack button causes The Mutated to stomp the ground and unleash a wave of infestation. Survivors hit by the wave are given the Infested status effect and are damaged after 3 seconds. If the wave hits a wall, it creates a radius of infested flesh in and around the affected wall, giving survivors the Infested status effect survivors and damaging them after 5 seconds. The wave has a cooldown of 8 seconds
You have a mutation meter, over time your mutation meter slowly fills, once full you gain a mutation stack with a maximum of 15. Every stack you get increases the range of your wave and your terror radius by 5 meters. Additionally, every 5 stacks decrease the time you're stunned by objects or items by 4% and cause you to visually change. Infested survivors increase the rate at which your mutation meter passively fills by 5% per survivor.
Special ability, ravenous: when you have 5 or more stacks, press the alternate ability to create an area of infestation the size of your terror radius, survivors in this area are slowed by 3% and are attacked by infested maggots. Survivors who are attacked by infested maggots and have their aura revealed for 5 seconds per attack. Ravenous consumes 5 stacks. Ravenous lasts for 20 seconds. You can only have one area of ravenous active at a time.
