Possible modifiers
Using a Breach Thread can apply one or more of these effects to the area:
- Ailith’s skills are empowered. Her skills in the area become stronger, making the encounter more dangerous.
- Breach Hives can lead to a Hive Fortress. This adds the possibility of a more involved Breach encounter.
- Breach Hives and Hive Fortresses contain extra Breach Coffers. These encounters gain additional reward containers.
- The area contains an additional Unstable Breach. This modifier can appear up to three times.
- Unstable Breaches contain a boss. This adds a boss encounter to each affected Unstable Breach.
- Rare Breach monsters have an additional Breach modifier. Rare enemies gain another modifier, increasing their strength.
- Rare Breach monsters can drop an additional Wombgift when killed. Monsters with this extra drop are marked by a purple icon above their heads.
- The area contains an additional Genesis Tree Sapling. Saplings can reward random Wombgifts or Foulborn unique items.
Wombgifts are used with the Genesis Tree: place one into a matching slot and spend Hiveblood to grow its reward. The reward category depends on the Wombgift.
What the modifiers mean for your run
Breach Thread can improve both the amount of Breach content in a map and the rewards available from it. Extra Unstable Breaches give you more opportunities to fight Breach monsters, while boss and Hive Fortress modifiers add tougher encounters. The additional Coffers and Wombgift drops can make those encounters more rewarding.
The added danger comes mainly from empowered Ailith skills and stronger rare monsters. If your character struggles with dense monster groups or sudden bursts of damage, be prepared before opening a map with these effects.
How to get Breach Thread
Breach Thread can drop anywhere. Its drop level is 68.
How to use it
Place the Breach Thread in a personal Map Device when preparing a map. The item adds Breach content and may apply its listed modifiers to the area. Plan your map setup around your character’s ability to handle empowered skills, modified rare monsters, and boss encounters.
