Blight-Ravaged Maps IMPOSSIBLE TO FAIL Strat! 

Meteor Tower anoint is Indigo + Violet. Chilling Tower anoint is Opalescent + Silver.

Important! remember the Monsters can't be stunned mod bricks most blight starts so don't roll that on your maps

Nice vid about blight, here's my additions: I do blight as league start every league because it is immensly chill and requires 0 build. Usually I just afk a headhunter and get to high level then start mapping. Freeze towers chill + meteor tower leave burning ground. Only mod you don't want on map is "Monsters cannot be stunned"/"Slowed below base value". Works with any map: Problight tip, using the oils (teal) that make the lanes spawn faster allows you to build full lane defense before endgame waves arrive, to negate bad chokepoints. (even though they still exist some times) Always juice ravaged with silver oil as a minimum. You can roll any quantity, sometimes above 450% with silver oils & fragments. That's almost 20 chests per portal. Cheers!

This is so helpful. As a newer player (300 hours ish) who quit the league to try ssf to become more engaged and think about the game in a different way, and fell in love with blight. will definitely be using this as a generic guide for ssf and future league starts.

Keep doing the explanations for content. It's helpful having someone talk their way through the encounter

You can also get unlucky with a few blue or higher mobs spawning with freeze or stun immune, or both. You also have to be careful of the map mods because you don't want both stun and freeze immune. Ranged Scout towers are great to pepper in when you have a lane with tanky boss(s) and it's good to run the less regen pantheon for if you get a tanky boss (or yellow mob) with regen.

I really enjoy when people explain why they are doing things and the thought process behind it. Your guides have helped me a ton, and this is my first league. Thank you for the awesome content!

Really enjoyed this format of video! Please keep 'em coming!

Very nice instructions! Failed 2 maps back to back before watching and the next one was super easy! Thanks Ziz!!!

really nice video! thanks ziz for the teachings 🙂

My 2 cents, I always try and pepper some arc towers or lightning storm towers (near chokepoints) JUST for the shock debuff. They're good damage, but the shock also makes all your other towers do more damage as well. Also, depending on tower placement, I do sometimes use the tier 4 stun towers that slow, to help with the occasional mob that spawns with stun immune. A slow tower next to a chilling tower is essentially 99.9% slow on enemies.

another thing you could add to you choke point setup is a lightning storm tower after you build two meteor towers. It'll do good dps with less range, and really clear out the fire immune guys when they get stunned

I like using scout towers with extra range rings, but I love that there are lots of ways to do this mechanic.

Instead of having to buy them, it may be worthwhile to turn off filter for oils, since the lower level oils are nice to annoint with (as you did in the video).

Portal away from pump is a misplay, unless you don't plan to leave. When you die then the area around the portal is paused, while unloaded blight mobs keep walking. If you have the portal on your pump then you can effectively pause the map and even go trade if you leave. If you place the portal away from the pump then you fail when you leave the map, because the mobs keep walking unloaded and your towers don't exist in unloadedland. This also works for blight in maps - place a portal on the pump to avoid failing the encounter if you crash or die or need to trade. Cast on death portal can gimp you here if you die away from the pump.

This video was indeed extremely helpful. Thank you 🙏

This is great! thanks for the video

i did not know that level 4 upgrades nulled the normal effects. game changer. thanks

Wow always struggled with those ravaged maps, thanks to you it was so easy now ! :)

thanks for the tips man very helpfull

I tried the other guide with minion towers so mamy times before I gave up and thought I just didn't know what I was doing. But I said fuck it and looked up more information and found a wonderful thorough guide in the forums on what towers did and which were strongest and why. Now I do this strat with Meteor and/or arc towers. And I can usually do blights both in map and did my first blight ravaged map last year (that was still insane). Thanks for updating. Please do mention that minion towers are the last option and only if necessary.

Awesome TY so much for your info

Loved the video. I'm new to PoE but I have a lot of fun playing blight events. Even with garbage build and a lot of struggle, Im having a lot of good times. Hope I'll be able to get to the uber bosses one day...

Love the new format

If only after so many years , they would fix how tower out of your screen will stop working. Monster still move but your tower won't. such bs.

cool vid I learnt a lot, was using max lvl chill towers only and rushing between chokes to kill everything, and i got space for vaal detonate dead on my righteous fire its actually op on blight

Thanks ziz I learned a lot.

This format is great

Thanks Ziz!

I’d watch Ziz do all the end game content for each mechanic like this.

thank you my friend

I tried a setup similar to this from someone else that shared a similar tip. I was unfortunate and got the mobs that were stun and freeze immune, I had to jump in and help my towers, until eventually I got overwhelmed and lost my cherry and failed the mission. It's a fun mode, but if I get mobs like that again, I don't think this setup will work unless I jump in and go ape.

i doing this all time before you maked the tut :) but some players need some starting help because they focus to much on dmg ;) good job zizi

I felt the need to point out that you can get blight ravaged maps on t13 maps too. I've filled my entire oil map tab with ravaged maps from t13 runs. Finally figured out how to pack enough defence on my melee assassin to not get one shot by the nastier blight monsters, it's a wonder that my pure evasion Vaal Cyclone build can even survive these maps at all with how recklessly I play. Though I do wonder if it can still tank hits in t16 maps when I get to those. I somehow doubt it.

I never knew once you upgrade the buff totems they stop buffing towers.. You may have saved my life with the info!

The thing thata really sad about those Maps is how hard you can be screwed over by Bad layouts. I had so many Blight Ravaged Maps where there didnt spawn any good tower clusters to reliably stunlock Bosses and Rares.

You should have covered the new keystone Ziz!

Not sure if this is a bug but if you are a deadeye, the glacial cage is a must build on some choke points. Reason being that it somehow increases your damage against mobs that gets trapped by a LOT. Not sure why but my 1M LA DPS last league was easily doing ravaged blight when I build those, but when I forget to build one, bosses tends to take a lot of time to kill, but its doable. The glacial cage tower just makes it faster by 2-3 times. Not sure if the cage damage applies to other class but it always worked on my LA last season and even this season.

this guide is op damn

This one turned out very well. Easy to follow and very helpful to a nub like me.

Just did my first big blight with this it was so ez ty ziz

You dont need to see the towers attacking, they work off screen. if the lane is shown the towers work. (If you move to far away lane isnt shown, towers stop)

Some monsters will jump past seismic tower cascades and some inherently have a cannot be stunned modifiers which causes defenses to break down.

Only thing I ever do on blight maps is summoning towers, nothing else. That has worked for me so far pretty well.

The range of towers this league is insane. You can be on the opposite side of the map and the towers still attack.

Only thing that still bothers me is how towers don't work when you're too far away, but monsters still progress. Otherwise, I have been personally loving the entire Blight mechanic. Thanks for the video! EDIT: I did some more Blighting and I noticed some odd mechanics. Some people said that towers deactivating isn't a thing anymore, as it was an engine limitation that they fixed at some point, so I tried it out and got very odd results. In some cases, moving until the lines the towers were defending were gone (aka, they were a couple screens away and therefore "not active"), resulted in a lot of leaking. Moving back instantly reactivated the towers and everything died. In other cases, though, I would move to the complete other side of the map on a big map, where not even the pump shows up on the overlay, and when I would come back, things would be just how I left them. Not sure if the towers kept working, or the game just stopped rendering that area entirely. I guess the point is that you don't need to be paranoid of things going to hell the moment you get out of range. One way or another, they managed to get things in a much better state, where you can push towers out much further and not worry about lanes remaining undefended.

I totally forgot about being able to anoint my rings... even with 35m fps frost blades I have failed the last 3 blight ravaged maps I've tried :( will try again with new knowledge and tactics

This is helpful because I always thought you dont do the tower if they are immune to it but seems like you do it anyway.

can you please explain what are the symbols above the portals ?

usually the killer is that your tower spots suck and the framerate killer of 200 of them stacked since you werent able to build a meteor tower where your stun and chill towers are

I thought I remembered at some point they made it so the burning ground anoint with meteor no longer damages fire resistant enemies. Is this true?

there is a bug which crashes the game with blighted maps , seems to happen when clicking on tower and it begins to expand to show choices. Is happening 1/4 maps on average. I have looked it up and saw other people having problem with it. ggg pls fix it I love blight

This is probably only area where ranged gladiator bleed builds have big advantage, since they are always moving, the extra damage is active at all times and explosions scale with their hp.

babe wake up its your league-ly zizaran blight video

been running blight all league. I run 3xteal, 3x opalescent, 3x silver. 2 +50% damage rings. imbue tower on pump and stun / freeze towers. I just pew it all down. Problem is, I don't think there is a no fail strat. You will get a really unlucky map layout or goofy mobs.

Strongly depends from the layout, really. You can get rekt if you got shitty layout, and monsters will swarm faster than you can react due to impossible to upgrade all at once. Also atlas notables don't work in Blight Maps, Ravaged included, so enchant your maps well! Don't use any scount towers as they will do literally nothing to those mobs. If you see a pair of 3 to build - always Stun 3, Freez 3, Meteor 4 with burning ground. You don't have to enchant both rings, just having the meteor part will suffice. Even if the monsters are fire immune, the burning ground still affects them and does damage. Again, Ravaged maps are 50/50 most of the time. Here's another tip for Ravaged maps; if you search them, try maps that have "Library included", or "Tower" maps, as those layouts have doors and pathways that blocks and it's easy to manage and control the mobs in ravaged maps. In a sense look for blight maps that have layouts with doors.

What does the forbidden rite do on the build?

One thing the video didn't mention is whether you used the atlas map Cassia's Pride or not for this?

i can confirm that if you're away from your towers they still work

I have one, HinekorasFeet + defiance banner + determination + grace + haste + a lot of element to phys and other mods + brutalist jewel with ele or project damage. Now teleport left and right while nuking the whole map in hardcore. Welcome to the world of iPhone

Did he forget to say "less" in his signing out catchphrase

Hi all, what is the addons he using with the timer on the top of his skillbar Thank You Very Much !

i think towers got fixed cause i often leave faraway towers unattended and they keep attacking when i eventually go and check them Also what about the other towers? I find Scout towers particularly helpful against meteor immune bosses that just get locked in place and cant move but cant be killed too

I guess i should have rerolled that "cannot be slowed below base" 😂😂😂

the heavy lags are the hardest to survive ... imbuing tower range and imbuing effect also works well , and gold oil worth it ? the only few times i used them i was very desapointed , i get the divines mostly from the lucky chests

Do you have a special atlas passives for blight?

any other item bases that drop from blight ravaged maps that have value besides i86 spine bows?

Im trying to annoint 3 x and its saying blight maps cannot be annointed more than 3 x.. is that for blight ravaged only?

My simple recipe is chill towers freeze, and meteor towers always stuns avoid bonus to HP, avoid monster increase speed, can't be slowed, can't be stuned, others can run. anoints same like on Ziz Video, all maps died with no hit

umm the 2 purples is chillign tower chill effect not burning ground (as if its 2 violets )

just tried this and got steamrolled, some just walk straight through as if they had stun immunity (they didn't).

That was the main problem I had to understand Blight mechanic - running away from your towers deactivates them until you return. So it makes sense to build towers very close to the pump and to stay around the pump the whole time.

Probably noob question, but do atlas nodes impact blighted maps? Good build for blighted maps for me was always bleed bow.

I love like i played this game casualy for years and i dont even know what blight ravaged maps exist or where to get them. Gotta love infinite content that i will never know anything about, best design....

So what exactly changed in recent patches/this league that you turned away from using the T4 minion towers with the empowers

iv read that meteor tower burning ground was nerfed... whats up with that?

Why is it all oveer when you leave through portal? I leave ravaged for trades all the time and it just pauses I believe. At least I find all same as I left when back. Might be wrogn tho.

can you triple annoint any blighted map or just the ravaged? if so ive been doing it wrong this entire time

How do you get 4 scarab slots ?

Ziz, are you aware that Burning ground was "shadow nerfed" around 2 leagues ago? It is still strong, but doesn't do full damage to fire immune lanes anymore. Now, immune lanes are also resistant to their damage type, including alternate effects like burning ground. To be clear the annoint is still good and does damage, fine for regular blighted maps, but in Blight Ravaged, doing 100% meteor towers isn't the best strat (if fire immune lanes). Good to mix in Arc towers or Scout towers as well

is cassia pride works ?

dont the meteor leaves burning ground got patched?

Ziz with an important life lesson: "What are these things? Okay, I don't know what they are so I'm going to kill them."

I can't play this mode on my laptop, because there are too many units on the screen making the game crash just like the MTX in the Rogue Harbour

Quant affects blight chests now?? Is that confirmed?

I don't think it got mentioned in the video but does this strategy change at all if the bosses roll fire damage resistances? or do they still die eventually since they can't move

Does quant affect the chests and not just the pump now?

i always go meteor tower into flying minion with 1 petrify to

See title "impossible to fail" *Cracks knucles* OOh boy, try me

I just afraid those range immune shield

Does empowering stun towers do anything?

towers act as long as your 2 screens within them.

They fixed it. I wanted a zombie rhoa to go through and they wouldn’t …

10:32 lol

Thunderstorm is sufficient to get rid of the fire immune.

Blight-Ravaged Maps IMPOSSIBLE TO FAIL new POE graphics engine: hold my beer

i thought that fragments dont affect blight maps. someone correct me if im wrong tho, but fairly certain i read it on a guide somewhere

Do atlas mods apply to blight ravaged maps?

Good advice in the video, but there is a loophole in the logic that a streamer, with a rig made to be able to send quality uploads of gameplay, does not see with Blight Ravaged maps. I'm a person who has a graphics card that is old enough that even at the min settings can't process all the actions taking place on screen for a Blight Ravaged. I don't brick a map for lack of ability or bad tower placement, but because I can't move while the stuff is going on and things eventually come apart at the seams any time something with caustic orbs or the like comes into play. Blight is very GPU intensive at the highest reward levels, and that is a problem that I don't have any idea how to solve.

in ultra juiced blight ravaged 3060 still struggling on fps.
