Nelson

Xarkun's Nelson Build

Created by

CategoryHybrid

DescriptionThis is probably one of the most effective Nelson builds out there. The only downside is that it requires the AL Nelson commander, which some players may not have. The keys to the build are: Big Seven, which drastically buffs both AP and HE alpha at the expense of penetration (which can sometimes hurt); Master Mechanic, which allows you to fully capitalize on the Nelson's super heal. Note: Kedrov and Kondo are on the build not necessarily because both of them benefit the Nelson immensely (although Kedrov is an excellent inspiration for any BB), but because this build is also meant to work for Vanguard and Conqueror.
