Boss Rushing: Destructive Play

This atlas strategy skips traditional mapping mechanics entirely to focus on high-speed boss rushing. By utilizing the Maven's Destructive Play keystone, you turn every map completion into a highly profitable multi-boss encounter.

When the Maven witnesses your map boss, she will summon 1 to 3 additional Atlas Bosses. Because modifiers to the final map boss also apply to these extra summons, this setup is an incredible way to farm Conqueror, Guardian, and Synthesized maps, along with valuable Maven's Invitations.

To maximize your efficiency, your primary goal is to navigate to the map boss arena as quickly as possible. While Destructive Play can summon more bosses if fewer monsters remain in the map, the most profitable approach is usually to just burst down the boss immediately and jump into the next map to maximize your maps per hour.

It is important to note that because this strategy requires the Maven's presence on your map device, you cannot run Eldritch or Exarch altars. Your profit comes entirely from the massive quantity of special maps and fragments dropped by the bosses.

Disclaimer: This strategy requires a character with exceptional single-target damage and strong survivability. Fighting up to four fully modified map bosses simultaneously in a small arena can be extremely dangerous for fragile builds.
