= Nex Solo Melee = [https://img.pvme.io/images/EHBFVhLaE2.png Guide illustration] ​ == Introduction == This is an '''advanced guide''' which assumes a strong underlying knowledge of all mechanics and information presented in ⁠[https://pvme.io/pvme-guides/basic-guides/nex-basic/ Nex Basic]. ​ When Nex spawns for the first time in a custom instance, she will be praying Deflect Magic DeflectMage for the majority of the kill. This is why Ranged-only kills are the meta for fast consistent kills. ​ ''Note: the [https://runescape.wiki/w/Ritual_of_the_Mahjarrat Ritual of the Mahjarrat] quest gives access to the [https://runescape.wiki/w/Stone_of_Jas_(status) Stone of Jas] jasboost 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.'' ​ == Presets and Relics == ⬥ [https://presets.pvme.io?id=57ad5549-0627-4b0d-98d6-331313a6a09a Melee] [https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/preset-images/o/images%2F57ad5549-0627-4b0d-98d6-331313a6a09a.png?alt=media Guide illustration] ​ == Rotations == ⬥ Make sure to use jasboost boost. ⬥ Keep scripture turned off until Umbra so you don't kill before chaosroar ​ === War's Retreat === dba spec === Start + Smoke Phase === zerk + adrenrenewal when Nex calls Cruor → anti after the green projectile from Glacies enters Nex → (tc) + gbarge + vulnbomb → overpowerigneous + dive + surge + (tc) Fumus === Fumus === meteorstrike → gflurry → adaptivestrike ​ === Shadow Phase === ezk cane → lengmh dragonclaw eofspec + surge click Umbra === Umbra === dismember → dragonclaw eofspec → chaosroar ​ === Blood Phase === soverpowerigneous → roverpowerigneous + lengmh spec + dive + surge + (tc) Cruor === Cruor === slaughter → massacre → adaptivestrike → run a couple tiles towards Glacies then surge → anti ​ === Ice Phase === barge → gflurry → lengmh spec + dive to Glacies === Glacies === dismember → dragonclaw eofspec → jawsoftheabyss adaptivestrike ​ === Zaros Phase === If Nex uses deflectmelee, can swap to roarofawakening spec, dbreath and combust, or just wait it out ​ mwspear slaughter → rendgop → massacre → adaptivestrike → improvise with zgs spec / gflurry and basics ​ ''Note: can throw another vulnbomb but not really needed.'' ​ == Phase Notes == === Blood Phase Notes === ⬥ Make sure you don't have crack4 or 100% as4 that accidentally phases Nex. === Ice Phase Notes === ⬥ If you get caught in an Ice Prison use Freedom freedom then divert, optionally also use powerburstofvitality === Zaros Phase Notes === ⬥ Nex cycles her overhead curses every 3 auto attacks during Zaros Phase, following this rotation: soulsplit → DeflectMelee → no overhead curse ⬥ disrupt may be used if you are low on food. ⬥ If Nex ends her Ice Phase with DeflectMage, there is a chance it will carry over to Zaros Phase. She may also switch to DeflectMage during Zaros phase, improvise accordingly. ⬥ When Nex uses DeflectMelee, there is a chance your attacks will be reflected back at you if you hit her. ​ == Example Kills == ⬥ [https://youtu.be/0lmw46TOdCk 1:18.6, 1:15.6, and 1:15 examples] [https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/0lmw46TOdCk Embedded video] ​ == Source and attribution == Source: [https://pvme.io/pvme-guides/rs3-full-boss-guides/nex/nex-solo-melee/ Nex Solo Melee], by PvME contributors.
