She makes the rules up as she goes. It was never going to be fair.

Destructive Play is an Atlas keystone passive skill that causes the Maven to use the Up the Stakes skill when witnessing map bosses, summoning 1 to 3 additional bosses. The number of additional bosses summoned by Up the Stakes is higher if there are fewer monsters remaining in the map.

Mechanics

Destructive Play causes the Maven to always use the skill "Up the Stakes", which summons 1-3 additional random bosses when witnessing a map boss in a map. Maven can summon additional bosses even if the map boss is killed before she casts the skill. These additional bosses do not count towards having been witnessed by the Maven. Modifiers to Final Map Bosses apply to these summoned bosses which include the following:

• Thorough Exploration: Wisp empowerment
• Remnants of the Past: Shaper Guardian map
• Vivid Memories: Synthesis unique map
• Shaping the World: Connected map
• Maven Invitation Drop Chance: Maven's Invitation
• Atlas Currency Chance: Map currency
• Atlas Scarab Chance: Scarab
• Lucid Dreams (Ruthless mode): Vaal items

Also works well with Conquered Conquerors by adding map bosses in general.

In a Conqueror map, if the Maven is unable to cast the skill on the default map boss, it will instead cast it inside the Conqueror's arena.

In an Elder Guardian map, Maven uses the skill only in the Elder Guardian's third/final phase.

Caution is advised as the Maven can randomly summon bosses with a corpse explosion skill (e.g. Detonate DeadDetonate DeadSpell, AoE, Fire
