New Blight Mechanic — Traitor Tower + Scarab of the Traitor

Scarab of the Traitor

“The corruption spreads both ways.”
Effect: Allows Blight encounters in the map to include a new tower type: Traitor Tower.


Traitor Tower (New Tower Type)

A tower that corrupts enemies, giving a small chance to temporarily convert monsters to fight for the player.

Tier 1 — Traitor Tower
• 1% chance to convert a normal monster
• Converted monster fights for 3 seconds

Tier 2 — Corrupted Traitor Tower
• 2% chance to convert a normal monster
• 1% chance to convert a magic monster
• Duration: 4 seconds

Tier 3 — Dominator Tower
• 3% chance to convert a normal monster
• 2% chance to convert a magic monster
• 1% chance to convert a rare monster
• Duration: 5 seconds

Tier 4 — Tower of Betrayal
• 5% chance to convert any monster
• 2% chance to convert a Blight mini boss
• Duration: 6 seconds
• Converted bosses retain their auras and abilities

Why This Fits Blight

• Blight’s theme is corruption, infection, and takeover — mind control fits perfectly.
• Conversion is temporary and unpredictable, so it doesn’t trivialize lanes.
• Works especially well in mini-Blights, where density is high and fights are fast.
• Adds fun chaos without changing core Blight gameplay.

Why Players Would Enjoy It

• Creates hype moments when a rare or mini boss flips sides.
• Converted monsters act like mobile towers, helping stabilize dangerous lanes.
• Adds variety to Blight encounters without power creeping existing towers.
• Makes Blight scarabs more interesting.
