In Nexus Survivors, you don't get a pre-made fireball handed to you. You build it yourself — from cards that determine how it moves, what it does, and what happens when it hits. Every spell in your arsenal is your own creation.
🌀 The Story
You are a Planeswalker — a traveler between dimensions. The problem: you have no idea how to get home.
On your journey through strange, hostile worlds you'll face hordes of creatures that would love nothing more than to tear you apart. Your only advantage? You can build spells that would make an end boss cry.
Find your way back — or at least die creatively trying.
🔧 Build Your Spells — The Core
Forget pre-made skill trees. Here, you assemble every single spell yourself — with cards and a healthy dose of experimentation.
Step 1: Choose a Carrier
The carrier determines how your spell moves. Projectile? Melee swing? Area of effect? Summon? Your call.
Step 2: Add Effects
Effects determine what your spell does. Fire, ice, poison, darkness, healing — mix and match as you please.
Step 3: Optional Modifiers
More damage? Faster projectiles? Homing? Modifiers fine-tune your spell to perfection — or well beyond it.
Step 4: Chaining — This is where it gets interesting.
Add triggers to give your spell a second and even third layer. Each layer is a complete spell of its own, activated by an event. On hit. On kill. On expiration.
💥 Example
Layer 1: Projectile + Fire + Homing + Multi-Shot = a homing fireball
Layer 2 (On Hit): AoE + Nature = a toxic cloud at the impact point
Layer 3 (On Expiration): Summon + Nature + Multiple = summons multiple bees that fight for you
One spell. Three layers. Total chaos.
🧟 Pre-built Classes — For a Quick Start
Don't feel like starting from scratch? There are pre-built classes with themed spell decks ready to go.
Take the Zombie for instance: an undead warrior who constantly loses life energy but heals by killing enemies. Its starter deck includes spells like Plague Strike, Zombie Head Bomb, and Summon Zombie.
The best part: you can customize everything. Every card. Every spell. Every chain.
A zombie that summons burning zombies which explode on enemy contact? No problem.
You want your Plague Strike to leave a poison cloud on kill that then summons skeletons? Technically possible. Go for it.
