Noxyr vs Wick: Security Bots Compared for Raids and Nukes

Quick verdict

• Choose Wick if your server is a large target and you want snapshot restore, panic mode and captcha verification, and you can spend time on setup.
• Choose Noxyr if you want sensible protection switched on in minutes, free, alongside tickets, a shop and logs.
• Use both with care. Two anti-nuke bots can act on the same event, so move one rule at a time.

Feature comparison

Setup effort

Wick's own intro page says it is not a simple out-of-the-box bot and that setup takes time. That is the cost of its depth.

Noxyr's Protection page shows a security score out of 100 with Fix buttons and five rules that start off: a hacked-account shield, scam links, fake staff, alt accounts and raid mode. Anti-nuke defaults to 3 actions in 30 seconds, then a timeout, kick or ban, with a trust list for people you exempt. Anti-spam is covered in its docs.

Pricing

Wick's docs say the base premium subscription covers one server and list anti-raid, extended anti-nuke, backups, customizable verification and panic modes as premium features. Its current premium price could not be confirmed from its pages, so check its site.

All of Noxyr's security modules are free. The optional Donor plan, on the donors page, is 2 USD for a month, 20 USD for 18 months or 40 USD once, and covers extras such as a custom bot. It locks no module.

Where Wick is stronger

• Depth against real attacks. Its docs say the largest raid it handled was over 250,000 accounts against a 300,000-member server.
• Restore. Reverting a server to its latest backup snapshot is something Noxyr's docs do not describe.
• Panic mode and heat scoring. Lock the server fast and score behavior with decay so normal members are rarely punished.
• Captcha verification in several modes.

Where Noxyr is stronger

• Time to protected. Fix buttons and readable defaults get you running quickly.
• Price. Everything is free, with no per-server premium.
• Everything else. Warnings with automatic steps, server logs, tickets and a shop live in the same bot. See the security bot page.

Limits to know: Noxyr's anti-nuke needs View Audit Log and cannot stop someone whose role sits above the bot's. It is a lighter system, not an equal one.

Moving from Wick

1. Add Noxyr and keep Wick on while you test. Invite the bot.
2. Run /security health, press Fix on the safe items and pick an alerts channel with /security alerts.
3. Turn on rules with /security antinuke, /security antispam and /security antiinvite, then add trusted admins with /security trust.
4. Move the Noxyr role high, above the roles it may need to act on.
5. Remove Wick last, after staff have seen alerts land in the right channel.

Who should pick which

A very large or high-profile server. If attackers target you, the depth Wick documents matters: panic mode, restore from backups and heat scoring. Accept the setup time and the per-server premium, and treat it as insurance.

A small or mid-size community. Most raids against these servers are noisy but simple: a burst of joins, mass pings or scam links. Noxyr's raid mode, anti-spam and link filters are built for that, and they are free and quick.

A server with a trusted staff team. Anti-nuke is only as good as its trust list. In Noxyr you choose who is exempt with /security trust, so keep that list short and review it.

A server that has been nuked before. Read the nuke recovery checklist. Whatever you choose, Discord role order matters: a bot cannot act against someone whose role sits above its own.
