Should you fight this?

What you get out of Nex, so you can decide if it fits your goals right now.

  • Torva armour is best-in-slot melee — huge, lasting value.
  • Zaryte vambraces are the best ranged glove in the game.
  • Nihil horn creates the Zaryte crossbow.
  • Scales into strong gp/hr with a coordinated team.

Strategy

  1. 1

    Four elemental phases

    Nex cycles smoke, shadow, blood and ice phases. Each has a special mechanic — spread for shadow, run from ice prison, avoid blood siphon.

  2. 2

    Freeze between phases

    A designated freezer holds Nex still with ice spells during transitions so the team keeps DPS on her.

  3. 3

    Zaros phase

    In the final phase she removes overheads and hits hard; burst her down while eating through the damage.
