Invasion league was a challenge league that ran in tandem with Ambush league. Invasion league used the hardcore rules for character death, while Ambush league used standard rules.[1] Both leagues launched on March 5, 2014 as part of Path of Exile: Sacrifice of the Vaal in version 1.1.0. Both leagues ended on July 5, 2014.
In this league all areas had been invaded by monsters from all over Wraeclast. A unique Invasion Boss from an invading monster type was also lurking in each level. Higher difficulty levels contained expanded monster variety and invading bosses with more abilities.
