Ah, a classic! Finding a Blight encounter in your map can be exciting, offering a challenging tower defense minigame with the potential for juicy rewards. Here’s a breakdown of what this modifier means:
Encounter:
A separate, enclosed area within your map.
Features a network of lanes where waves of blight monsters spawn.
You build towers to defend the "Pump," protecting it from reaching 100% blight.
Defeating waves grants rewards like oils, blight uniques, and blight chests.
Modifiers:
The map modifier itself simply guarantees a single Blight encounter somewhere within your map.
Additional modifiers from your Atlas Passive Skill Tree or Scarabs can influence the Blight encounter:
Increase number of encounters (up to two in previous leagues, currently unsure if still possible).
Enhance rewards, monster difficulty, or blight lane complexity.
Tips for tackling the Blight:
Preparation: Stock up on towers and modifiers from Niko Harvester. Consider focusing on specific elements for synergy.
Planning: Scout the encounter layout before building towers. Utilize choke points and tower placement strategically.
Adaptability: Adjust your defenses based on enemy types and waves. Prioritize protecting the Pump.
Oils: Apply Blight oils (purchased from Niko) to enhance your towers or modify the encounter for increased rewards or difficulty.
Additional notes:
While currently unable to guarantee multiple Blight encounters within a single map, you can still increase the overall chance of encountering one through Atlas Passives and Scarabs.
Blight can be very rewarding, but also challenging. Don’t be afraid to experiment and practice to master the art of tower defense!
I hope this information helps you prepare for your upcoming Blight encounter.
