Nex Questions


wioneo

Recommended Posts

I just did my first few Nex kills and now I have a few questions...

 

Is there anything at all to be done to avoid the "No escape" attack? the name suggests otherwise but...

 

Does having on auto retaliate on help during shadow phase? I'm noticing a lot of time spent running back within view of her to click attack, and I feel that with auto retalliate on I could get more attacks in, but might get snagged by shadow traps...

Also, can other people's shadow traps hurt you? It does not look like they were, but I do not know for sure.

 

So far I've been lucky a few times on final phase where I ran out of restores a bit before brews, so I end up unable to restore back my magic after brewing, which leads to prolonged tanking, which leads to more brewing...etc. If I died then, and everyone left after the kil(and blessing of course) and then I came back to get my stuff, what would happen?

 

How exactly does Nex spawning work? Does it only happen when enough of the team is in? because I remember having a few stragglers outside and the mage ceremony seemed to start much later than normal. Also, what would happen if everyone teled out during the ceremony? Would Nex just go back to napping or chill in the center until someone came in?

 

Any answers or advice would be greatly appreciated, and would help me create a stronger illusion of experience.

I'm not at all going to claim to be well experienced at nex, but I feel like I've done enough there to answer most of your questions.

 

To avoid the " no escape" attack you need to be standing off the center of the symbol of zaros. this way you will only be hit 25% of the time by the attack. All teams I've been on have completed the first phase standing in the center of the arena, so I can't give a better answer than this.

 

I keep auto retaliate off during the shadow phase, so I can better avoid the shadow spots. If you are standing on someone elses shadow spot as the animation begins you will be hit, but you can run over it after the animation has begun.

 

I have died once during the final phase, what happened was I ran in and shortly after that the spawning ceremony began where she summoned her mages. I was able to retrieve all of my belongings during this period. I then teleported out and ran back. Nex spawned and then disappeared, when my team ran in all together she repeated the ceremony. If you log out during the ceremony it delays nex spawning, im not sure why.

 

Nex only spawns if someone is in the arena with her. Otherwise she disappears. I'm not sure how long it takes her to disappear if say a whole team teleports out mid kill.

 

hopefully this helps a little (:
