Nexus Siege

Nexus Siege mode

Nexus Siege is a Featured Game Mode for League of Legends.

Description

Nexus Siege cuts the Rift in half, leaving just one base to raze/protect. If you’re on the attack, blitz the base, shove waves, and deploy siege weapons to charge up your minions and destructify towers. When defending, break out tower upgrades and hold the line at all costs. Once the attackers crack the Nexus, teams switch sides. Victory goes to whichever team flattens the base fastest when attacking.

Stat bonuses

Both team have a variety of teleport pads to warp out to from fountain. Use the Siege Warp trinket to get into battle faster!

The attacking team has 1.5% increased AD, AP and max HP. This bonus increases over time.

Gold & EXP are normalised for Nexus Siege across both teams. This means don't worry about last-hitting, just push those minions as fast as you can!

Obliterator

The Defense team is rewarded everytime they manage to safely escort and push a minion into one of the Attacking team's fountains. If they can push 15 total minions up there, they trigger the Obliterator laser.

The Obliterator will kill all enemies in all lanes. This is also a great lane reset for the Defending team, buying them precious extra minutes to stall.

Siege Weapons

Crystal Shards

Siege weapons fill summoner spell slots. Snatch them up with an alternate currency called Crystal Shards (CR). Each side earns this kind of CR a little differently:

Offense:

• Earned over time

• Kill enemy champions; attacker kills net more Crystal Shards than defender kills

Defense:

• Earned over time

• Kill enemy champions
• Granted when the first tower in each lane is destroyed
• Earned for each minion shoved into the attacker’s teleporters
• Defenders start the round with enough Crystal Shards to buy a siege weapon

Weapons

All Siege Weapons use the Summoner Spell slot and are cast or deployed similar to Summoner Spells. You can carry up to two different Siege Weapons at once, and they do not stack in your Summoner Spell inventory (one at a time).

Offense

Siege Ballista

• Cost: 100 CR
• Health: 3 ward health
• A long ranged siege engine that will hammer away at enemy towers. These are excellent for applying pressure on defending teams who continually turtle and never come out from under their towers.
• Visible through fog of war.
• "The bread and butter bomb lobber of the offence. Stick these somewhere safe-ish, and protect them from pesky defenders."

Vanguard Banner

• Cost: 100 CR
• Health: 5 ward health
• Gives nearby allied minion significant combat stats for extra pushing power.
• "This minion might magnifier’s like a Baron buff on a stick!"

Shield Totem

• Cost: 100 CR
• Health: 3 ward health
• Nearby allied Siege Weapons gain a recharging shield making them tougher to destroy.
• Shield strength: +2 ward health (+1 for each additional Shield Totem)
• Visible through fog of war.
• "Listen for the pleasant humming of the Shield Totem between explosions. ~Wommmmmm~ "

Port Pad

• Cost: 200 CR
• Health: 3 ward health
• Deploy additional teleport locations for your team, moving your forward point closer to the enemy base.
• "When teleporting halfway across the map still doesn’t land you close enough to the fighty spots, there’s the Port Pad."

Defense

Tower: Beam of Ruination

• Cost: 100 CR
• Attach to a nearby tower giving you control of 3 beam blasts from the tower. This does serious damage to enemy champions.
• "Fire turrets yourself with the Beam of Ruination. Unfortunately for you, they’re skillshots."

Tower: Storm Bulwark

• Cost: 200 CR
• An emergency Zhonya style shield for your tower that makes it invulnerable for a few seconds, then wrecks all enemies that were around it in a rain of missiles. Great for clutch saves on a tower about to go down, buying you precious extra time.
• "Invincible towers dispensing AoE true damage? This is fine."

Entropy Field

• Cost: 100 CR
• Freezes all enemy minions and slows all enemy champs within it's zone. Can completely change the balance of a team fight.
• "Put your enemies in the danger zone, and keep them there with the slow dome."

Flash Zone

• Cost: 100 CR
• Throw down a large area that gives all allied champions inside the zone unlimited Flash on a 1sec cooldown. Great for team engages or reaching hidden nests of Siege Ballistae.
• "Get in the zone and style on fools with one-second cooldown Flashes."
