Cast Changes

  • Changes how Larva plays: Larva Augment: Reactivate Larva to detonate and deal 600 Toxin Damage in a 8m radius.
  • Higher ranks usually improve the key magnitude or duration of the augment.

Worth the Slot?

  • Equip Larva Burst when that change is part of your standard Nidus loop.
  • Skip it for generalist builds if capacity is tighter on survivability or parkour mods.

Mission Usefulness

Mission / ContextRatingWhy
Steel Path Survival / Defense / DisruptionStrongDense missions are where most Nidus augments prove whether they belong in the build.
Mobile Defense / ExcavationSituationalWorth it if the augment helps hold or clear the objective faster.
Casual Star-Chart FarmsSituationalOften skippable when base abilities already overkill the content.

Tips & Tricks

  • Read the max-rank text — Larva Burst often only feels complete at rank 3.
  • Try one mission with and without it on Nidus before locking the slot.
  • If you Helminth over Larva, this augment usually becomes irrelevant on that loadout.

Notes

  • Compatible with Nidus (Nidus).
  • Polarity: zenurik; rarity: Rare.
