Blight Guides

Blights are tower defense-like encounters that can spawn from Fungal Growths in any map area, which will always be accompanied by Sister Cassia. This encounter is considered Extra Content and has a baseline 8% chance to appear in any non-unique map area.

Blight encounters are also found in Blighted maps, which are a modified type of map with a large open layout (often Park Map, Pit Map or related), that have all the monsters removed saved for a single special Blight encounter. Blight encounters in Blighted maps are far larger, have many more monsters and have much greater rewards. Players can trade Blighted maps.

Mechanics

Once players interact with the Fungal Growth, Cassia will place a purification pump on the growth, causing it to spawn roots in random directions. At the end of each root is a portal that spawns enemies that slowly move towards the core, only stopping to attack units in its way. The Blight can spawn up to 8 roots, increasing with zone level. Players will be given a short preparation time before the Blight starts spawning monsters. Players can skip this by pressing a button that appears on the bottom right during this preparation period.

Some roots will spawn after a delay, and sometimes a root will have multiplied monster density (indicated by a multiplier). An icon corresponding to a tower can appear over each root, indicating which tower it is resistant to. Along the paths of the roots, players can construct a tower in specified areas. Towers cost resources to build or upgrade, which are given at the start and also acquired from killing blighted enemies.

When an enemy reaches the core, it will lower the durability of the pump and despawn itself. The pump has 10 durability, and the amount of durability lowered is based on the monster’s rarity (1 for normal, 2 for magic, 5 for rare, 10 for unique). When the pump’s durability reaches 0, the Blight encounter fails and monsters will stop spawning.

Once all enemies from each portal are defeated, chests will spawn at the locations of each portal. These chests persist even if the pump gets destroyed afterwards. Blights always reward at least one oil or one Blighted map. Oil rewards chests have approximately a 15% chance to give a Blighted Map.

Blights were introduced in the Blight league. Characters must complete least 1 Blight encounter in a league to complete Cassia’s quest before she will anoint items.

A maximum of one Blight can spawn per zone naturally; this can only be increased via the Mycelial Swarm Notable on the Atlas Passive Skill Tree.
