Ray class is a cursed land. You have to be mad to settle here. Hi, s here with another video, and in this, we are going to cover blight-ravaged maps and blight in general. So I've been doing a lot of blight. Some things have changed this league, and yeah, just my findings. As far as the skill tree goes, these noes are awful, and I hate them. So I got rid of those. So at the moment, I've taken these, these, these, and I have not had time to take these yet, but heard bad things. I've heard they're incredibly dangerous and Rippy Rings. The anoints early on. I just didn't bother with one on my right ring, but chilling dar's freeze. This is silver and aescent. Incredibly powerful, very, very good. So definitely get that. And then meteor Towers crate burning ground. These are the two that I like. And I've been clearing black Rish maps on this, even barely with attacking now. Next up, preparing your map is really important.

so the safest thing you could do is three Ember, three sepia, and three clear. This is very, very easy to do BL Rish maps, and you'll barely have to attack yourself. I'm now doing three of these, then I'm doing three Ember and three sepia. So that's what I'm doing at the moment. Depending on your build, you might be able to do more. We roll it, and rolling it is really important. Now, what am I looking for to not be here? I am looking for nothing that cannot be stunned, nothing like action speed is lower than normal, that is like anything that prevents the monsters from being stunned or makes them move faster, anything like that is terrible. And then I'm going to throw in some fragments. The reason for that is it just adds a little bit of Quant to the BL rubbish Maps. Now we're doing this live, so this might be embarrassing, and I might not be able to do it because BL rubbish maps are hard, and there is a little bit of RNG here as well. So when I

talk about RNG. What can happen is you might get really bad positioning for Towers. Also, just run around and put a portal so I don't accidentally misclick out of the map. But you might get really bad RNG for Towers. Now these maps are my favorite because sometimes you only get two lanes, and sometimes three. Now what we're looking for is, are there a lot of stun immunes? Are there a lot of chill immunes? So there's no chill immune bosses, so this should be fine. And we have a pretty good start here. So now what I want to look at is, I want to have a stun Tower here, freeze Tower here, and I really, really do want this ideally both of them covered by the buff Tower. That's quite important. Um, just turn my oras are on here. I don't need to build more right away. I can also like throw down a level one til Tower. Does a lot. And as you can see, they're very cheap to build. Still nothing there. This is mostly okay. And I'm most likely going to have

meteor Towers here to help a little bit with the clear. I can have another chill Tower here. Loing some oras, let's see. This is a really good choke point. So now I'm going to remake my choke point here. So I have two stun Towers, two freeze towers, and you might notice that I'm not upgrading to all the way except for the meteor. Meteor is the only one that goes all the way. The reason for that is they basically lose their ability and become kind of trash at that level. Another chill [Music] Tower, uh, another here and these can be affected. Oh, whoops, I built the wrong one. That's bad. Okay. Now what I'm going to oops, that was going to be fire. See, it goes a little fast. I'm going to build some meteors that'll help take care of things. Now, sadly, we do have a third lane. When it's two, it's very free and here is a little bit scary, to be honest. This is bad RNG on the towers.

very far apart. I'm not getting more at the moment. Now everything here is a complete chokehold. So what I'm going to do is I'm going to put down and hopefully not die some meteor Towers here so they can clear without me interacting with this part. They should be fine now. And worst-case scenario, we do have that and we are already have a lot of extra resource. I mean, we can just make these Scout Towers now because why not. They'll help clear. Now we're hoping for more things here. We do have stun immunes, so that is scary. Finally, please, yes, this is great. Um, yeah, we'll go for freeze here, freeze here. We'll have two meteor Towers here to help some more here, another one here. Try to upgrade most things to level three. All right, so everything here, we don't have to worry about. Nothing's getting through there. Um, I'm going to have a buffer Tower here and hope that it hits multiple. It doesn't, so now all I have to do is I have to continue helping with the damage.

there now you don't want to be too far away from up there. It does feel like it's gotten better. I don't know if it's just me, but I feel like the towers aren't deactivating as easily when you're outside of range. So, as you can see here, the freeze Tower is completely phrasing these. They're just standing still. Um, I don't have that much damage so I'm 2 million damage right now. Uh, when I have frenzy up, it's a bit more, but the explosions help a lot. And, uh, yeah, just honestly, the explosions feel great. It's mostly me using the towers to clear, but as you can see, I'm completely annoying these. Are just what are they going to do? I can just explode them if I want to, no problem. Uh, cannot be slowed. It is nice when the towers have a boss on them that they are keeping preoccupied 'cause then they're never stopping casting. They have like a little bit of a warm-up period as you can see.

so I just have to make sure that nothing gets past here and hope for the best. It is definitely holding. Um, yeah, this seems like a good example. First try poers well. You don't know that I could have recorded seven videos where I failed, but I didn't. Or so I say. Um, so it definitely is easy to fail these on though. These are pretty much all the towers I bother with. I did in the past have like a minion strategy, but that was before BL rabbage Maps came. These have too much HP that they can really clear them, in my opinion. Um, so we can like go look here. I think all the bosses are dead from here. Like our minion meteor towers are just killing everything. And like I said, it really does feel like they've fixed the blight issue with h Towers not activating, 'cause I'm what before would have been offscreen. I do end up having to call bosses and stuff. Something big exploded there, so that took out a boss, probably a big rare, as you see. Very comfortable in my

opinion for doing these. I do try to be a little bit careful. These are scary when you hear that sound, especially on Hardcore. You should be terrified if a boss gets dded cuz our explosion does not explode bosses. Um, you will die 100%. Like, that would kill me, no questions asked. It would be like millions of damage. Um, honestly, that went really nice. So that's pretty much what I'm always looking for: a cluster where I'm able to ideally. The minimum I want is two stun Towers, one free tower that is buffed with the empowering at level three. With all those level three, pretty much nothing gets ped. You can get a little by rares having like, um, cannot be slowed, etc. Uh, but rares aren't that much of a problem in this F because of the explosions. So this has been working really well for me. I failed two, where's the last one was he here, oh, resilient to fire Towers. Normally, now I would be looking for somewhere close that I can build Scout Towers, but we'll just slowly kill.

this but yeah things are a lot of HP in here. I've been doing this since very early and it's made me all my money. Um so what am I looking for MoneyWise in blight Rish Maps. The number one thing you can get and you don't get a lot of gold. The number one thing you can get is do I have a shield base types is generally what sells the best. Uh on Hardcore this Shield base item level 86 Cardinal round Shield is 50c plus and they sell very fast. Um the other thing that's really really good and I do have one good amul so far. Uh I look for these cuz these can drop double anointed amulets here. I have only had one in this is my 16th blight rubbish M. Um corrupting them is good too but my build can't handle all the Corruptions yet so I've been a little bit scared of that. I got I got no amul that I have PTSD that they're not showing in my.

filter either that or they're just really rare. I mean I have found one but I wish I'd found more. Other than that, we just go through and loot everything. Um, I don't know how profitable this is in softcore. Depends on how well blights sell and stuff. Um, it's a good source of maps for your village. Then you want to go through your BL ones but you do want to go through everything. Look but like base types is like so V on uh par cold oil. Um, Prismatic oil was what sold the best for a while. I don't know how that sells now. Let's see pretty worth either way. I hope that helps you have a uh good time in blight. It's uh been helping me a lot and uh yeah play Rivage Maps. You don't really need your build to do all the work. You can just build towers smartly either way. Thanks for watching. Sub if you like the video. More importantly, try to die less than I do.

Tips for Navigating Blight-Ravaged Maps in Ray Class

Blight-ravaged maps in Ray Class can be challenging, but there are ways to make it easier.

Preparing your map with three Ember, three sepia, and three clear can make the maps much easier to clear.

When navigating these maps, it's important to look for modifiers that do not allow the monsters to be stunned or make them move faster, as these can make the experience more difficult.

Additionally, adding fragments to the maps can increase the Quant and make the process smoother.

Managing Tower Placement and RNG in a Game

Getting bad positioning for Towers and dealing with random elements like the number of lanes can impact gameplay.

Considering the presence of stun and chill immunities is important when strategizing Tower placement.

Upgrading Towers strategically, focusing on meteor Towers, and adapting to changing choke points is crucial for dealing with unexpected challenges.

Strategizing Tower Placement and Enemy Encounters

Struggling with enemy waves, the player uses meteor and scout towers to clear the path.

With a focus on upgrading towers to level three, the player creates a buffer tower to help with damage.

The use of freeze and explosion towers becomes crucial in dealing with stun immune enemies and bosses, providing a significant advantage in combat.

Strategies for Successful Tower Defense in "BL Rabbage Maps"

Using a minion strategy in BL Rabbage Maps is no longer effective due to the high HP of the enemies.

The key to success is to create a cluster with at least two stun towers and one empowered free tower at level three to prevent any enemies from getting past.

The explosions from the towers make rare enemies less of a threat, providing a comfortable and successful gameplay experience.

Maximizing Profits in Blight Maps in Path of Exile

Focusing on high-level shield base types can yield significant profits, especially the item level 86 Cardinal Round Shield.

Additionally, searching for double anointed amulets and prismatic oils can also be lucrative.

Blight maps can be a good source of income, especially for acquiring maps for your atlas, regardless of whether you are playing in softcore or hardcore mode.
