Nex Solo Melee

​

Introduction

This is an advanced guide which assumes a strong underlying knowledge of all mechanics and information presented in ⁠Nex Basic.

​

When Nex spawns for the first time in a custom instance, she will be praying Deflect Magic for the majority of the kill. This is why Ranged-only kills are the meta for fast consistent kills.

​

Note: the Ritual of the Mahjarrat quest gives access to the Stone of Jas boost which gives a 5% damage boost in GWD1 (including Nex). It can be reached via fairy ring code D.K.Q. ‎or master quest cape option 5.
