Solo Nex: Necromancy

Introduction

It is strongly advised to complete the Ritual of the Mahjarrat quest in order to get access to the Stone of Jas boost which gives a 5% damage boost in GWD1 (including Nex). This can be done via Fairy ring code D.K.Q. or Master Quest Cape (option 5).

⬥ Necromancy

Mechanics

Nex Overview

⬥ Nex has 5 phases; Smoke, Shadow, Blood, Ice, and Zaros. Each phase has 2 special attacks, with the exception of Zaros.

⬥ Nex is a 1x1 NPC and has very strict softcaps, which means that any damage over a certain amount is reduced by X% depending on the phase.

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎• During the first four phases, Nex has a soft cap that reduces excess damage above 5,000 by 50%.

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎⬩ For example, a 6,000 damage hit would be reduced to 5,500 damage.

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎• On the Zaros phase, the soft cap is changed to reduce excess damage above 2,000 by 75%.

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎⬩ This means a 6,000-damage hit would be reduced to 3,000.

Mages Overview

⬥ The mages have a soft cap that reduces excess damage above 1,000 by a random amount between approximately 80% and 100%.

⬥ Each mage has 10,000 health and possesses a max hit of around 850. The mages are static and can only be attacked whenever Nex calls their name.

Special Attacks

Smoke Phase

⬥ Virus → 5 auto-attacks → No escape → Five auto-attacks → Repeat. • Don't stand in middle crossways. Example • Nex may drag you to MD of her at random times, nulling all damage. Example

Shadow Phase

⬥ Shadow traps (if phased before virus) → Darkness → Shadow traps → 4 auto-attacks → Repeats from second shadow traps. ⬥ Move from Shadows and don’t stand MD. • A shadow trap is avoided. Example • A player escapes the shadows engulfing them. Example

Blood Phase

⬥ Siphon summon → 3 auto-attacks → Blood sacrifice → 3 auto-attacks → Repeat. ⬥ Attacks during Siphon will heal Nex and sacrifice will heal Nex if not phased and in range. • Nex summoning her Blood Reavers. Example • Nex sacrifices a player. Example ⬥ Any bleeds used during this phase will heal Nex rather than damage her (e.g.,

).

Ice Phase

⬥ First special attack (based on phase start) → 3 auto-attacks → Second special attack (based on phase start) → 3 auto-attacks → Repeat. ⬥ If Blood phase ended with Sacrifice, Ice will start with Contain. Example ⬥ If Blood phase ended with Siphon, Ice will start with Prison. Example • Run from Contain and Freedom

into eating up then

• Glacies' attacks can freeze players if they aren't using Protect/Deflect Magic; keeping the prayer active will result in all of her attacks missing regardless of the player's armour rating.

Zaros Phase

⬥ Upon the start of this phase, Nex activates Turmoil

and heals herself for 33,333 (1/6) of her health to boost it up to 73,333. Example ⬥ Nex does not have any unique special attacks in this phase and uses only her melee and magic autoattacks.
