Rotation

Pre-fight

conjurearmy + veng + walk to middle-south → lifetransfer → commandghost → invokedeath → (at around 6s) dealerlegs80 + anti → firstnecrorobebottom + splitsoul → commandskeleton

Smoke Phase

(tc) + vulnbomb + deathskulls + walk 1 tile north-east of Nex → soulsap → touchofdeath + dive to Fumus

Note: stalling crackling between kills can help make this phase more consistent.

​

Fumus

(tc) + vulnbomb + bloat → bbc + grico → omniguard + soulsap → walk towards nex for skull bounce

Note: you are aiming to have skulls bounce onto Fumus and then back to Nex.

Shadow Phase

omniguard spec → deathguard90 eofspec → deathsparkorsoulreave necrobasic if not 120k + surge + dive to Umbra

Note: The (tc) timing is when bloat kills Fumus as this will then tag Nex with a hit of splitsoul . This allows the omniguard spec to not be nulled.

​

Umbra

​

(tc) Umbra + vulnbomb + bloat → bbc + grico → omniguard + soulsap

Blood Phase

vulnbomb + necrobasic → divert → prep → commandskeleton → bloat → fingerofdeath + adrenrenewal → soulsap → touchofdeath

​

Note: Move towards Cruor during this phase.

​

Cruor

​

(tc) Cruor + bloat → bbc + grico → omniguard + soulsap → necrobasic if not dead

​

Notes:

⬥ If you do not get a darkness skip, ensure you are attacked 3 times to start the Ice phase on Nex's 'Contain this!' special attack.

⬥ Position Nex near Cruor if possible so that bloat spreads to her when Cruor dies.

Ice Phase

anti → volleyofsouls → bloat + surge + dive to Glacies

​

Glacies

​

(tc) Glacies + vulnbomb + bloat → ingen + bbc + grico → omniguard + soulsap → necrobasic if not dead
