Captain "No...it can't be! The capital ship of The Avarians, The Nexus. What is it doing here!?" - Captain, Wave 19 on Chapter 4 |
Description
The Nexus is a gargantuan space dreadnought much larger than that of the Couriers, forged by the Avarians and the only major flying boss of Chapter 4. With an extremely high defense of 
15, high health of 
50,000, high shield health of 
25,000, and requiring flying detection, the Nexus can easily decimate unprepared players' defense. It also has a carrier-like function that allows it to spawn Couriers. Numerous high-tier flying detection towers are required to defeat this spaceship and even perhaps the great Bliss of Finality.
Lore
"The Nexus, also referred to as the Capital by the Avarians served as the main headquarters of their space fleet."
Appearance
The Nexus is a gargantuan dark yellow and black colored dreadnought, similar to the color scheme of the Avarian Constructs. It is long and angular, appearing as an elongated wedge, with two engines and wings on both sides. Multiple turrets can be seen; however, it does not use them. In its belly it shows a chamber that summons Couriers. An ornament is present at the front of the dreadnought.
Tactics
- Due to its high health and defense, high DPS towers with anti-air, such as Snipers or X-4 Lightbeamers are essential to take down the Nexus.
- You can use Bugler, 3-X or 4-X Surveyor to support high DPS towers, enabling the latter to take down The Nexus a lot faster.
- Bliss of Finality can help greatly to deal with the Nexus as well as taking care of other distracting enemies such as the Courier.
- Towers with high defense pierce are recommended due to The Nexus' devastating
15 defense. - X-4 Elite's Immolator Overcharge ability is useful against the Nexus as it deals massive damage.
- Immolator Overcharge is affected by Elite's 3x damage to shields, making it even more useful against it.
Trivia
- Apart from bosses, The Nexus is the largest enemy that appears in normal gameplay.
- When considering every single enemy, including Randomizer and admin-exclusive enemies, The Nexus is the fourth largest, behind Kugelblitz Large, the ok and Kugelblitz Ultimate.
- It also has the second highest health out of any normal enemy, only beaten by Glacius Councilman.
- This makes The Nexus to have the highest health out of any normal flying enemy, even beating out flying bosses The Archangel and Kugelblitz Overseer.
- The Nexus, along with Mechanical Arbiter, were both made by remaining Constructs after the loss in Holy City.
- The word nexus means a connection or a series of connections, so this enemy may be related to many other lores of Tower Blitz.
- The Nexus is a reskin of an admin enemy called the the ok which is also known as The Ark.
- The design of the The Nexus is possibly inspired by the spaceship UNSC Iroquois from Halo, a popular first-person shooter franchise from which Tower Blitz's lore is also greatly inspired by.
- OsterDog and beefchoplets, the original developers of Tower Blitz, are both fans of Halo.
