Mechanics
| # | Phase | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Smoke Phase | Nex shouts 'Fill my soul with smoke!' She becomes immune until the smoke pillar is destroyed. She summons smoke clouds that damage and reduce visibility. Move out of the smoke. DPS the pillar then return to attacking Nex. Pray Protect from Missiles. |
| 2 | Shadow Phase | Nex shouts 'Darken my shadow!' She becomes immune and must be attacked through the shadow pillar. Shadow spots appear on the ground — move out of them immediately. Pray Protect from Missiles continues. |
| 3 | Blood Phase | Nex shouts 'Flood my lungs with blood!' She heals from blood pools on the ground. Never stand in a blood pool. She also sacrifices a player for a large heal — move away from her when targeted. Pray Protect from Missiles. |
| 4 | Ice Phase | Nex shouts 'Contain this!' Ice shackles target a player. If shackled, all players adjacent take damage. Move away from other players when shackled. Destroy the ice pillar to bring Nex back into the fight. |
| 5 | Zaros Phase (below 25% HP) | Nex stops using pillars and attacks with all styles simultaneously. She uses a wing swipe if players are adjacent — stay at range. Max DPS with Twisted bow. Protect from Missiles for her primary ranged attacks. |
Tips & tricks
- Twisted bow is the definitive best-in-slot weapon — Nex's extremely high magic level maxes TBow accuracy.
- Never stand in blood pools during Blood phase — Nex heals for the damage you take.
- Ice phase shackle: immediately spread out so adjacent teammates do not share your freeze damage.
- In team play, assign a pillar tank who stands adjacent to each pillar to prevent Nex from regenerating.
- Nex cannot be harmed while immune — always kill the phase pillar before focusing her.
- The Zaryte vambraces give +2 Ranged strength and are BiS gloves for this fight.
