NEXUS: Arena Combat System
COMMAND YOUR DESTINY
AND IMMERSE YOURSELF
IN THE D-VERSE
Step into the heart of all known dimensions with the NEXUS: Arena Combat System. Are you ready for a tabletop experience like no other? Explore the twisted universe where lanistas command genetically engineered warriors, helots, in a battle for fame and fortune.
- COMMAND YOUR HELOT - Keep in mind that you're not the one fighting, and your pursuit of fame and fortune may not always align with your helot's well-being. Learn to navigate the delicate balance between leadership and self-interest.
- WATCH FOR HAZARDS - Barge captains, aiming to entertain the crowd, utilize arena hazards to eliminate participating helots. Ensure your champion avoids succumbing to the chaos.
- EMBRACE STRATEGIC MAYHEM - Strategize your helot's actions, outsmart opponents, and navigate hazards with skill. The Action/Movement Ratio adds a layer of strategic complexity, ensuring decisions are never simplistic.
- ADAPT, EVOLVE, & CONQUER - Adjust your strategy on the fly, capitalize on turning points, triggered events, positioning bonuses, and other tactics that can transform a losing bout into a triumphant victory.

HOW IT'S PLAYED
GAMEPLAY WALK-THROUGH
When choosing your lanista, keep in mind that each one has a varying command, influence and deception value.
- Command will give your helot extra movement or actions.
- Deception forces an opponent to make bad decisions.
- Influence will give you access to bribes, and other nefarious deeds.
First, take a look at its trait bonuses. Each helot also has their own special motivation feature, along with a list of unique trait abilities. These features and abilities are what make every helot motivation unique!
From floor saws that tear through flesh to crates filled with weapons, each barge is outfitted with different hazards and obstacles that are looking to indiscriminately kill your helot. A truly savvy lanista, will be familiar with them all!
Use your power and influence as a lanista, to give your helot the edge in the bout. It isn't cheating, these influence cards merely represent a lanista’s pre-bout business arrangements.
Spend your command points to instruct these ignorant meat-puppets to do your bidding. Move!! Attack!! Grapple!! Stop Bleeding!! They may not always listen, but they'll give it their best shot!
In NEXUS, it isn't all about the last helot standing. Throughout the course of the bout players will earn cred coins by winning over the crowd! But, what if none of the competing lanistas can earn enough cred to impress the crowd? Then the bout is a draw and you are all equally pathetic losers!
