Upgrade paths for this fight
Strategy
- 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
Freeze between phases
A designated freezer holds Nex still with ice spells during transitions so the team keeps DPS on her.
- 3
Zaros phase
In the final phase she removes overheads and hits hard; burst her down while eating through the damage.
