The Blight league and Hardcore Blight league are upcoming challenge leagues.[1] They will launch on September 6, 2019.
In this league, the world is infested with Blight and its Fungal Growths. The player will assist Sister Cassia in destroying these growths. When agitated, the growth spawns tendrils across the ground and summon monsters to defend it. These monsters follow a straight path along the tendrils, but are unusually tough. To weaken them, the player must place Towers to attack and weaken them. The player must hold the monsters off and protect the core until the growth is destroyed. The Blight drops loot when destroyed, including special Oils which can be combined to give an equipment an implicit which allocates and bestows the effect of a passive skill from the skill tree.
All characters and stashes will be moved to Standard league and Hardcore league respectively when the leagues end. Characters that die in the Hardcore Blight league are immediately moved to the permanent Standard league.
