Nexus Siege mode
Nexus Siege was a Featured Game Mode in 
League of Legends that was available exclusively in patch V6.14.[1]
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.
The draft type is Blind pick.
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 to deploy. You can carry up to two different Siege Weapons at once.

100 CR
Vanguard Banner

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.
- Cost:
- "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.
- Cost:
- "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.
- Cost:
- "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.
- Cost:
- "Get in the zone and style on fools with one-second cooldown Flashes."
Strategy[]
Tactics[]
| “ | "The array of strategic options is positronically dizzying. I like it!" |
—  Heimerdinger
| |
|
- Head to base often for more siege weapons, even if it's against your incendiary instincts. All attackers should head back to base around three minutes to pick up their first siege weapon.
- Pushing one lane together can work, but often ends in Obliterator-ation.
- Nest siege weapons together and don't forget the
Shield Totems. The grouped weapons bait disorganized defenders into your ambushes.
| “ | "Who needs strategy when you have AN OBLITERATOR???" |
| — Ziggs
| |
|
- If the enemy team groups in one lane, port to the opposite lane and split-push to unleash the Obliterator and blunt the offensive.
- Don't rush nested siege weapons alone. Go in groups and deploy
Flash Zones and 
Entropy Fields to outmaneuver and grey screen the attackers. - As the game goes late, keep a
Storm Bulwark handy. Hasty attackers can be baited into reckless dives.
