Epitome of the endlessly evolving Infestation, Nidus bends the vile corruption to his will, mutates his genetic potency to adapt and assimilates his victims with an insatiable parasitic hunger.
Same thing. Very original of you, Riot.
Kai'Sa and Nidus are as similar as Taric and Trinity. (in other words, they have a scant few similarities, but that's about it.)
Sure, they're both some entity (Kai'Sa, the Tenno) controlling a parasitic bio-weapon (the Void, the Infestation) through some form of symbiosis, but the similarities end there.
Kai'Sa is a woman who just barely survived the Void by resisting a parasite and forming something of a symbiotic relationship with it - she hunts other Voidspawn and siphons their energy to literally feed the beast. She uses corrupted, hungering, and esoteric magics to stalk and kill.
Nidus, on the other hand, is an ancient weapon designed by a deified empire for the use of powerful, hyper-lethal warriors. Nidus in particular was designed to emulate a previous bio-weapon of their design, the Infestation. It was designed so that the Tenno could scourge the Orokin's opposition with a rampant, self-adapting strain of Infestation.
Besides, the Void and Infestation are very, very distinctly different. The Void is some unknowable, corrupting entity that hungers and longs to consume creation. It's magical, and a very dark form of magic, no less. The Infestation, on the other hand, is quite literally a bioweapon. A hive-mind, self-propogating strain of insatiable flesh and viruses.
And then, of course, there's another distinction: Kai'Sa is a void-huntress. A survivor. "The Girl who Came Back". Nidus is a rampant infestation. A tool of extermination. A living plague.
So...Tell me again, how Kai'Sa is a ripoff of Nidus?
First of all, I can see that this is your first post so I'll be the one to welcome you to the boards. I hope you'll join us in many discussions to come.
Second of all, I have to completely disagree with you. Kai'sa is similar to, but she is definitely NOT Nidus from Warframe.
so thats why i like kai'sa!! shes using a warframe XD
No, the corruption is like the Flood from Halo, converting living beings into its hive mind with a singular cause to bring the universe under its will.
Games borrow stuff all the time, it is getting very difficult to use certain themes without dipping into another's ideas.
warframe omegalul
That's not at all what Kai'sa is or plays like. At most they're both originating from horrific alien-ish beings (and only halfway for Kai'sa) and both are a little purple. If you want a comparison, I see Kha'Zix as a closer one.
