Blight

What it is

Blight encounters are tower defense mini-games in your maps. A pump appears that the monsters want to reach via winding paths. You use Blight Oil (the currency) to build towers along the paths. Monsters that reach the pump end the encounter. Rewarding drops include Blighted Maps (all-blight encounters) and Oils used for anointing rings and amulets.

When you encounter it

Blight encounters appear as a purple pump in maps with Sister Cassia nearby. They're optional — approach the pump to start.

Key concepts

• •Different tower types: Freeze (slows), Seismic (stuns), Empowering (buffs nearby towers), Meteor (high DPS)
• •Empowering towers massively boost adjacent towers — build them centrally
• •Choke points are key — build your strongest towers where multiple paths converge
• •Blight Oils are used to Anoint Amulets (passive tree notables) and Rings (unique Blight modifiers)
• •Blighted Maps are entirely Blight — very rewarding but hard

Tips for new players

• 💡Build Empowering Towers first, then surround them with damage towers
• 💡Freeze towers near the pump buy you critical seconds if things get through
• 💡Don't ignore Blight — it's a free side encounter that gives valuable Oils
• 💡Golden Oil is the rarest and most valuable — save it for good Anoint targets
