(Merging Radius is the distance at which Beyond Portals can merge with one another to spawn Beyond Demons)
In Path of Exile, Merging Radius refers to the distance within a map that Beyond Portals can be from each other and still merge together. When Beyond Portals merge, they combine to create a larger and more challenging Beyond realm filled with additional monsters and potential rewards.
Here's a breakdown of Merging Radius and its role in Beyond encounters:
Beyond Portals: These are swirling vortexes that appear in maps when the Beyond mechanic is active. Entering a Beyond Portal transports you to a special dimension filled with monsters and objectives.
Merging: When Beyond Portals are close enough together within the Merging Radius, they will visually connect and merge, creating a single larger Beyond realm.
Benefits of Merging: Larger Beyond realms offer increased difficulty but also the potential for greater rewards. More monsters spawn within a merged Beyond realm, which translates to more opportunities for loot, experience, and potentially encountering Beyond bosses.
Factors Affecting Merging Radius:
Base Value: There's a base Merging Radius inherent to the Beyond mechanic itself.
Atlas Passives: Several Atlas Passive options within the "Fiendish Opulence" Beyond cluster can increase the Merging Radius of Beyond Portals in your maps.
Unique Items: Some unique items in Path of Exile can also modify the Merging Radius of Beyond Portals.
Maximizing Merging:
By strategically using Atlas Passives and potentially equipping specific unique items, players can significantly increase the Merging Radius of Beyond Portals. This allows for the creation of vast Beyond realms with a high concentration of monsters and potential rewards.
Strategic Considerations:
While larger Beyond realms offer greater rewards, they also present a significant challenge. Players should consider their character's build strength and survivability before attempting to tackle extensively merged Beyond encounters.
I hope this explanation clarifies the concept of Merging Radius within the Beyond mechanic of Path of Exile.
