Act 6: Brine King - #20 - Let's Play Path of Exile 3.2: HC SSF Bestiary Flashback

At the tail end of Path of Exile 3.2's Bestiary league, we're getting a Flashback league. This league brings back 11 different league mechanics to ensure fast progression under increased danger. I'll be playing a Necromancer Summoner build that uses the new Summon Phantasm on Kill support gem, combined with a summoner build that summons 4 other kinds of minions that each summon their phantasms on kill. Playtesting some build variations showed that it had good offensive power, but my early ideas lacked survivability. This let's play series will focus on a tankier version of the build to try and remedy that. Because it's a short league, I'll do this on hardcore for increased excitement!

*Flashback League mods*

Bestiary is always on.

For each area, an hourly rotation will get three additional mods drawn from:

- Abyss (1 extra Abyss)
- Ambush (2 extra Strongboxes)
- Anarchy (2 extra Rogue exiles)
- Beyond (DEMONS!)
- Bloodlines (3 Magic Monster packs with Bloodlines)
- Breach (1 extra Breache)
- Harbinger (2 extra Harbingers)
- Invasion (2 extra Invasion bosses)
- Nemesis (3 Rare monster packs with Nemesis mods)
- Perandus (2 extra Perandus Chest and 33% chance to spawn Cadiro)
- Torment (3 extra Tormented Spirits)

Possible nice combos:

- Beyond + (Ambush, Breach, Harbinger, Perandus, Abyss) = spawn lots of mobs to turn into demons
- Torment + (Nemesis, Anarchy, Invasion) = best chance to get ghosts to possess things
- Bloodlines + Nemesis + (Abyss, Harbinger, Breach, Beyond) = maximise map drops
- Anarchy + Invasion + Perandus = maximise unique mobs per area for item drops with +2 item level
