Path Of Exile will release an expanded version of Blight in early September, and will also add a tower defense mechanism to the game, which is an unprecedented change. This is a very complete circle. Tower defense as a genre is found in real-time strategic genres and equidistant, click action RPG. Now, the two are back in a game. In recent years, Path Of Exile has added a lot of extensions, among which there are many advantages, world atlas and betrayal. But with the expansion of Blight, this is definitely the MMOAH first time they have entered the field of tower defense, which can be said to have extraordinary significance.
A horrible blight virus similar to fungus has occupied a large amount of land. Their tendrils can infect monsters, and will turn them into very tough but unconscious zombie. They will sprint with the tendrils and attack all the creatures on the road. This will definitely make the players very headache.
Players must block their way. You need to use specific arcane techniques to eliminate the blight, but you will have some towers to help you, and these towers will continue to upgrade. Each tower will make use of the attributes of specific monsters. Whether it is cold, shock, vertigo, burning or petrification, you don't need to worry. And you can also use some towers that summon useful monsters to strengthen yourself and weaken enemies.
The tower defense part is very light and very simple. This will not affect the gameplay of other classic ARPG games. When players place these towers on the POE Orbs map, you can also increase the damage that these towers are dealing with your own large number of talents. If the player completes the blight, they will receive a chest reward. Of course, if you can find special Blighted Maps, you will unlock bigger Blight challenges and get top-level items.
In addition to these, Blight will also add a new challenge alliance, it will transform three character prototypes, and will bring a lot of new items. Blight will also add two of Path Of Exile's earlier leagues to the core game. Are you looking forward to it!
