Drox is - along with Veritania, Al-Hezmin and Baran - one of the Conquerors of the Atlas of Worlds. In order to fight him, you have to open a Warlord influenced Map. Conqueror Influenced Maps have a special border on top of the typical Map Icon. Defeating a Conqueror for the first time unlocks a Favorite Map slot for your Atlas.
Each of the Conquerors drop a specific Map Fragment that is required to face Sirus, Awakener of Worlds.
Conquerors - Boss Guides:
- Drox, the Warlord - Drox's Crest
- Veritania, the Redeemer - Veritania's Crest
- Al-Hezmin, the Hunter - Al-Hezmin's Crest
- Baran, the Crusader - Baran's Crest
Sirus, Awakener of Worlds - Boss Guide:
Conqueror Maps can be dropped upon killing any regular T14+ Map Boss on the Atlas and have 2 implicit modifiers:
Map contains Drox's Citadel
Item Quantity increases amount of Rewards Drox drops by 20% of its value
Map contains Drox's Citadel
This implicit modifier adds the Warlord influence to the Map, adding Warlord monster packs. It also adds Drox as an additional Encounter after defeating the default Map Boss.
Item Quantity increases amount of Rewards Al-Hezmin drops by 20% of its value
This implicit modifier determines how much Loot Drox drops upon death.
You can increase the drop rate of these Maps with the Atlas Passive skill Conquered Conquerors and Martial Forces. You can also access Conqueror Maps from Kirac or encounter a Conqueror as part of his Atlas missions. These Maps can also be acquired by getting Map rewards in other League Mechanics such as Tujen from Expedition, Delirium or the Ritual Altar.
A Conqueror Map can be converted into another Map via an Orb of Horizon and even upgraded in Tier with a Harbinger's Orb. If you do so, a Tier 14 / Tier 15 Conqueror influenced Map can result in a corrupted The Beachhead Map. However, you cannot change the Conqueror that is influencing the Map itself.
Defeating a Conqueror counts as clearing the Map in terms of Master Missions and unlocking them for your Atlas. It is possible to have multiple influences on a single Map, making it more rewarding, but also increasing the difficulty.
Loot Table
In addition to regular loot, Drox has the following boss-specific drops:
- Drox's Crest (100%)
- Warlord's Exalted Orb

- Make sure to kill War Banners and summoned Minions as soon as possible.
- Avoid his lethal abilities like Glove Slam and Glove Cascade.
- Keep moving! The Majority of Drox's abilities can be outmaneuvered.
- Since Drox deals Physical Damage, it is recommended to bring a healthy amount of Armour to the fight.
Good Luck, Exile!
