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
Zaros Phase
touchofdeath → commandskeleton → deathguard90 eofspec → soulsap → deathskulls → volleyofsouls → improv
