Classic NLC Features Combine To Devastating Affect In Rare Moments
Legion X brings together a few classic NLC features including xNudge Wilds, Infectious Wilds and xWays. What I love about these games is that the features don’t just work on their own – they can feed off each other to become more powerful. Part of the excitement of playing is figuring out what drives the best moments and keeping your eyes peeled for those features to drop.
xNudge Wilds Bring Up Multipliers
Let’s start with the xNudge Wilds. This is a Wild Stack that nudges down or up until it is fully visible. With each nudge a multiplier value increases by 1x, which you can see in the screenshot below. You’ll find this in other NLC games like True Grit Redemption to El Paso Gunfight.
The multiplier is only valid of course when a win passes through the Wild stack. But when two or more xNudge Wilds appear together then their values are added together before being applied.

Infectious Wilds only land on reels 1 and 5. When they do, they convert all instances of a random symbol into a Wild symbol. That’s nice, but I prefer the second part of this feature. If you land TWO Infectious Wilds on one spin then ALL low-paying symbols are converted into Wilds on reels 2, 3 and 4.
xWays Bring Up More Win Ways
Perhaps one of NLC’s best known features is the xWays. This is a way of adding more Win Ways on a spin. These symbols land with a big X on reels 1 and 5. When they do, they transform into 2 to 4 instances of the same pay symbol, expanding the reels as they do.
You can see that in the screenshot below.
And once again, there is an enhanced version of this feature. If you hit 2 xWays symbols at the same time, you’ll trigger Infectious xWays. When this feature is triggered, any symbols on reels 2, 3 and 4 that are the same as the xWays symbol will expand in size as well.

It is possible to combine these 2 features and turn all low payers on the middle three reels into Wilds whilst Infectious xWays expands symbols on those reels too.
Land 3 Bonus Symbols In The Middle Reels To Unlock Free Spins
As well as these features you also get FOUR Free Spins rounds. What I like here is that the harder a level is to unlock, the better the deal when you get there. But it’s not easy, and I should warn you, it’s very frustrating trying to unlock the higher free spins levels.
It works as follows:
Legion X Spins – 8 Spins With Enhanced Reels
You need to land THREE bonus symbols in the middle 3 reels to trigger this round.
In Legion X spins the 1st and 5th reels expand to 5 3 rows high, immediately giving you more win ways and a win multiplier comes into play. It increases by 1x with each xNudge Wild nudge and persists throughout the round. You can extend this round by landing either an xWays or Infectious Wild symbol at any time.
Legion X Equestris Spins – 10 Spins With Sticky xWays
You need to land THREE bonus symbols in the middle 3 reels to trigger this round as well as 2 xWays symbols at the same time to trigger this one.
Now you get 10 spins with the 1st and 5th reels expanded to FOUR rows high. And you get the same win multiplier increasing with xNudge Wilds as you see in the Legion X Spins. BUT now, xWays symbols are always sticky when they land, triggering Infectious xWays on each spin.

You need to land THREE bonus symbols in the middle 3 reels to trigger this round as well as 2 Infectious Wild symbols at the same time to trigger this one.
You get the same configuration as the Equestris Spins – 4 rows on reels 1 and 5 and the win multiplier increasing with xNudge Wilds. However, this time it is the Infectious Wild that stays sticky throughout. That means every low payer on the middle reels will turn Wild on every spin once Infectious Wilds land.
Legion X Gemina Spins – 10 Spins With Sticky Infectious Wilds AND xWays
This is the holy grail but it requires you to land THREE bonus symbols on the middle reels plus one each of the Infectious Wild and xWays symbols on the outer reels at the same time.
Now, you play with 10 spins on extended 4 rows on the 1st and 5th reels. The win multiplier is effected by the xNudge Wild in the same way. And, both Infectious Wilds and xWays symbols remain sticky throughout the round. That converts all low payers on the middle reels to wilds whilst also expanding symbols that match the xWays that landed too.
