Nexus Blitz is back. Launched as an experiment in 2018, the mode is making its way back into League of Legends. Here are the best champs for LoL Nexus Blitz.
The mode is not really new. In 2018, it already existed once. This time, too, it will unfortunately only be available temporarily in League of Legends. You can play the mode from July 22 to August 24. But watch out who you pick, because some champs are a lot stronger than others.
What is the LoL Nexus Blitz?
In Nexus Blitz, five players per team play against each other on a map with two lanes and a jungle. Three players are on the lane and two go into the jungle. Random events happen during the game, giving rewards or buffs to the winning team of the event – making the game terrific chaotic. The goal of the game, as usual, is to destroy the enemy Nexus.
Lanes
Since you get more gold than in the normal rift, you should definitely choose champions that scale strongly with items. In almost every game you will fill all six item slots, so late-game Carrys are good picks. Also, there are a lot of teamfights, so you should pick champs that have low cooldowns, take down enemies quickly, and can determine the teamfight.
The top picks for Lane are:
- Yasuo
- Ahri
- Vayne
- Lux
- Teemo
- Zed
- Ezreal
- Cassiopeia
- Aphelios
- Katarina
- Riven
- Ziggs
Jungle
In the Jungle you need good 1v1 champs with strong clear speed. You will encounter the enemy junglers often, so there will be a lot of fights here as well. Since the junglers end up being in every teamfight anyway, just play champions that scale well and can carrien in the late game.
The best champs for the Jungle are:
- Kindred
- Fiddlesticks
- Kayn
- Graves
- Ekko
- Twitch
- Brand
- Master Yi
Champions like Kayn, Yasuo and Katarina can also be combined with Yuumi. This way, you can win every game as a team and with the early items.
