I won't dispute nexuns change fight dynamics, especially if there is more than one of them awake. But nexuns don't fight balanced. The bond puts nexuns in pairs. That does not mean they come across a single villager one sits out however. It's about the outcome and goal of restoring overall balance, not the means. Nexuns are sort of the bad guys because they do anything.

So they may raid, restore the codex, see balance restored, and not press to the inners with the imperials. Or just leave the imperials there out to dry. I think the thing is nexuns constantly have to gauge balance to know what is called for. Since it does shift all the time. And if you don't, sometimes you can end up doing the wrong thing.

You also have to look at other instances. Take the example of 4/5 hero imperials are on. And one fort hero. Empire holds the orb. They know he's not coming, cause he goes alone he is toast. But if he has 2 or three nexuns, he will come and you might still have that interesting fight.

If you see five nexuns all running around I think they are sort of a deterrent, that's true. But if you're the underpowered side, you love nexuns. They make you able to do things, instead of worrying about getting beat down. And lots of times I think it's the weak side calling the nexuns for help, not the nexuns calling them.

Just thoughts. A better understanding of what shifts the balance ad such might help with nexuns. And I mean for all players in general, including people playing nexuns.
