PoE Betrayal Target Selection

In Path of Exile’s Betrayal league mechanic, choosing the right target for execution, bargaining, or betrayal can significantly impact your Syndicate rewards and reputation. Here’s a guide to navigate your choices:

Understanding Target Roles:

Each Syndicate member holds a specific role within the organization:

  • Leaders: The highest-ranking members, offering valuable veiled items and increased reputation upon execution.
  • Lieutenants: Second-in-command, providing good rewards and reputation but less valuable than Leaders.
  • Interrogators: Offer information about other members’ ranks and relationships, crucial for strategic manipulation.
  • Transportation Leaders: Control escape routes, letting you choose which members face each other in betrayal encounters.
  • Operatives: Lower-ranking members, offering smaller rewards and minimal reputation.

Factors to Consider:

  • Veiled Items: Leaders have the highest chance of dropping valuable veiled items. Prioritize them if you need specific modifiers for crafting.
  • Reputation Gain: Execution grants the most reputation, followed by betrayal and bargaining. Consider balancing high-reward executions with other options to maintain good standing with the Syndicate.
  • Relationships: Analyze the web of relationships between members. Executing rivals strengthens your allies, while betraying or bargaining can create new rivals.
  • Target Value: Compare rewards offered by different targets based on their rank and potential drops. Don’t underestimate operatives if they offer specific currencies or prophecies you need.
  • Future Encounters: Think ahead. Leaving certain members alive can create more lucrative betrayal encounters later on.

General Tips:

  • Utilize Information: Interrogations provide valuable insights. Use them to identify high-value targets, discover relationships, and plan your manipulations.
  • Don’t Overexecute: Overreliance on execution can dwindle your reputation. Balance it with bargaining and betraying to maintain good standing and access all rewards.
  • Adapt to Circumstances: Sometimes, unexpected opportunities arise. Be flexible and adjust your choices based on new information or advantageous encounters.
  • Track Progress: Utilize external tools or spreadsheets to track Syndicate ranks, relationships, and rewards received. This can help you strategize and maximize your gains over time.

Remember: Choosing the right Betrayal target requires a balancing act between immediate rewards, future opportunities, and maintaining reputation. Analyze the situation, utilize available information, and adapt your strategy to make the most of each encounter. May your cunning manipulations and wise choices unlock the full potential of PoE’s Betrayal league, Exile!

Syndicate Safehouse

Once intelligence in a faction reaches 100%, you can raid their safehouse. Talk to Jun in the hideout or in a zone (you cannot open portals to the safehouse if there is not enough space around Jun) and investigate a safehouse to open 6 portals to the safehouse. If you do not raid it within 3 turns, Intelligence will drop down to 90%. Mastermind intelligence does not decay.

When raiding a Syndicate Safehouse, the Safehouse leader and all his/her subordinates will defend it. Once they are defeated, the ‘living quarters’ are unlocked. The ‘living quarters’ consist of rooms with Safehouse Stashes that contain loot depending on which members were stationed in the division raided. Certain members will have special crafting benches rather than Stashes in their rooms. The notes on the syndicate pages will give a hint on what reward can be expected. See the below table for both the hints and the exact reward.

You will only be able to Interrogate the safehouse leader. Interrogating the safehouse leader gives information on the Syndicate Mastermind. All other members of that division lose all ranks and a random syndicate member with no rank becomes the new leader of the division, with rank 1. Defeating the Mastermind will unlock a safehouse containing rewards from every Syndicate member and creates a new Syndicate roster (without dropping the rank of previous members or resetting Intelligence).

The stronghold’s zone level will be equal to the highest level of the Syndicate encounter you’ve faced for that division, and the Mastermind’s Lair is equal to the highest level of stronghold completed.

In addition to these, Safehouse leaders have a chance to drop certain Betrayal-specific Veiled Uniques.
