The Nyxi Pond recruits Nyxi, the fastest-recruiting unit in the game. They are Primal attackers with almost no defense.
How recruiting works
Every unlocked Nyxi Pond recruits Nyxi without a break, also while you are offline. At level 1 a site recruits one Nyxi every 30s (120 per hour); each level adds 25% of that, up to 3× at level 9. Several sites of the same kind add up.
New units appear on your home portal. Once your home island is at its strength limit, further units are turned into ranking points instead, and after a long absence the game only counts the first 7 days.
Faster recruiting
- Recruiting artifacts from the Nexus or the Artifact Forge.
- Recruitment Surge (+20%) in the Temple.
Levels
Every site starts at level 1 and can be upgraded to level 9 with Soulstones. The cost shown is for reaching that level. While Builder's Grace is active, level-ups cost 20% less.

Getting a Nyxi Pond
A new home island has 3 locked plots for this site.
Unlocking a locked plot costs 5'000Soulstones.
You can also turn any unlocked site (except the Temple) into a Nyxi Pond for 5'000Soulstones. The new site starts at level 1, and the levels of the site you replaced are lost. You can have up to 40 of them, locked plots included.
Tips
- Nyxi are recruited twice as fast as most units, so a Nyxi Pond fills an attack force quickly.
- With so little defense, Nyxi are a poor garrison. Send them out to attack and keep defenders at home.
