Voidstones: Prioritize unlocking your first two Voidstones, as these offer essential benefits like increased map drops and improved rewards. Consider the Searing Exarch for additional Blight encounters alongside other beneficial map mods.
Blight Nodes: Once you have Voidstones, invest in key Blight nodes like:
Fungal Remission: Guarantees a Blight encounter when using a Blight Scarab, maximizing your Blight map runs.
Eldritch Altars: Provides a steady stream of currency items as you complete Blight encounters.
Blighted Maps have [increased chance for Oil Extractor drops]: Crucial for crafting anointed Blighted jewelry, a valuable source of income.
Advanced Strategies:
Oil Scarabs: When your Atlas is complete and you’re comfortable with Blight mechanics, consider using Blight Scarabs with specific Oil types to target valuable anointments.
Specialization: Depending on your build, you can specialize further with nodes like:
Towers have Increased Placement Speed: Great for tower-focused builds that need rapid deployment.
Blighted Chests have an increased chance to contain Anointed Blighted Amulets: Prioritize this if you focus on amulet anointments.
Remember:
Adjust to your Build: Don’t simply copy another’s Atlas Tree. Consider your build’s strengths and weaknesses when choosing passives.
Balance Profit and Fun: While maximizing rewards is important, don’t sacrifice the enjoyable challenge of Blight encounters for pure efficiency.
Adapt to League Mechanics: New leagues often introduce mechanics that interact with Blight. Remain flexible and adjust your Atlas Tree accordingly.
