The popular League of Legends game mode Nexus Blitz is back in for a limited time during the Battle Queens 2020 event. Last seen earlier this summer on the live client, Nexus Blitz has been available on the Public Beta Environment since late November. In what feels like a hybrid between the URF game mode and the retired Twisted Treeline map, Nexus Blitz is a wild game mode where no two games are the same.
What is League of Legends Nexus Blitz?
Nexus Blitz is a limited-time event that takes place on a unique map set in Ionia. Players pick one of two roles, either laning or jungling with no option for support, mid or top. Players then have to face off against opponents while completing challenges around the map. Each challenge won grants random bonuses for the temporary bonuses.
If neither team is able to seal a win by 18 minutes, a sudden death match begins where each team’s nexus will come to life. Once animated, the two nexuses will walk towards the other’s base. The first team to destroy the other’s nexus wins.
What are all the Nexus Blitz challenges?
The challenges and rewards are from the summer release of Nexus Blitz so certain challenges may have seen change in the new launch. We will update these lists as more information is revealed about the event.
- Bardle Royale (Classic): Fight for survival in the flaming circle of death while it closes in on a part of the map. The last surviving team wins.
- Bardle Royale (Paranoia): Fight for survival in the flaming circle BUT everyone is nearsighted, like you’re all being Nocturne ulted. The last surviving team wins.
- Bardle Royale (Juggernaut): Fight for survival in the flaming circle AND one random champion on each team gains a high amount of health and the On Fire! buff at the start of the event. The last surviving team wins.
- URF Deathmatch: Every player goes into URF mode surrounded by a bunch of cheering minions! Defeat the enemy team in a best-of-three to win.
- Loot Teemo: A wandering Loot Teemo spawns randomly on the map. Hitting the Loot Teemo grants players gold. The team that last-hits Teemo wins the event.
- Loot Veigar: A wandering Loot Veigar spawns randomly on the map, using Dark Matter and Event Horizon while running away. Hitting the Loot Veigar grants players gold. The team that last-hits Veigar wins the event.

- Protect the Soraka: Two Soraka bots enter the lane, but only one can leave. Beware of all the healing and bananas!
- DPS Check: It’s like practice mode, but you need to out practice your opponent’s practice on the same Teemo dummy.
