🐉The Nexus
The Nexus is a structure to bring down before the timer runs out. /nexus teleports you there, /event announces when it opens.
The phases
The Nexus does not let itself be broken quietly. It cycles through eight states:
| Phase | Effect |
|---|---|
| Spawn | It materialises |
| Defence | It is shielded, damage barely gets through |
| Vulnerable | The window to hit |
| Regeneration | It heals itself |
| Thorns | It reflects damage |
| Knockback | It throws everyone around it |
| Minions | It summons minions |
| Destruction | It falls |
Minions come in three variants (normal, frozen, lightning) and drop things worth picking up too.
Strategy
Everything hinges on reading the phases. Hitting during Defence or Thorns burns durability for nothing, or kills you. You have to wait for the vulnerability window and hit hard.
The Regeneration phase is the main obstacle: if the group does not deal enough damage during the windows, the Nexus takes back everything it lost and the timer runs out for nothing.
Rewards
On its destruction, the Nexus releases on the ground:
- 6 Common keys
- 4 Farm keys
- 2 Pocket Boxes
Loot falls around it, to be picked up. Since it all happens in the warzone, the scramble on the ground is part of the fight.
The event runs for 20 minutes.
