Why are there buff pylons in the tower?
Most buff pylons are either useless or boring.
Why aren’t there much more different pylons with much more interesting effects?
We have 2 pylons in Helltide, the Flame Tower and the Life Leech Tower.
I would suggest that it is not possible to see what Pylon we will get and we need to react to it as soon as we klick them.
- The Flame Tower could have a much bigger circle and mobs could rain from above or crawl from the underground and attack us. The longer we are inside the circle, the more mobs and also more dangerous mobs will be drawn from outside the circle to the center to kill us. Ground effects will be quite dangerous, because there is not a lot of space to evade.
- Life Leech Towers will test our Toughness and provide other types of mobs, that could try to debuff us.
- Chain Towers chain us to the middle and we are getting slowed, but the time is also getting slowed, such that we have more time to kill mobs inside this tower.
- Debuff Pylon Hellfire: It’s raining Hellfire, doing fire damage and letting packs of Monsters rain from above.
- Debuff Pylon Higher Thread Level: We will get ambushed by dangerous mobs every 20 to 40 seconds.
- Debuff Pylon Goblin plague: Many goblins will spawn for the rest of the run, sometimes 1, sometimes whole groups, creating chaos.
Many more are possible and they will be much more interesting than 3 buffs, where 2 are useless and 1 is boring.
