Blight Questions

Some screenshots I'll be referencing:


These are 2 different blight encounters. As you can see, they both have the same icon at the bottom (circled red). What is that icon above the fist in the red circle supposed to mean (looks like an eldrich symbol)?

In the first image circled in blue, you can see the fist above the gate. It looks a little different than a normal fist icon would be (looks a little shiny/shimmery). Is this supposed to represent the eldrich symbol seen in the red circle?

In image 2 we see a yellow glowing orb above a portal (circled purple). What is this supposed to represent, and does it have anything to do with the eldrich symbol (in red circle)?

Thanks a bunch!

I believe the red symbol indicates that a boss or bosses will spawn from that portal.

I'm not entirely certain why the two physical monster portals have differing icons. It may just be a bad angle on the second one making it lose the look of the fist icon.

Just speaking in broad terms;

Each circle in the row you have the red circle each represents one lane of attackers and its portal. The symbol in the center of this indicates that lane is immune to the indicated type of tower. The symbol above that indicates that lane will spawn a boss. The immunity icon should also appear over portals as they appear in the world.

I believe the glowing icon is an indicator that that lane is currently 'active' and spawning (also shown on the UI in the red circle, as a yellow circle around the first three lane markers). It's not in the first image as you haven't started the event yet.

Thanks, guys. Okay, so the symbol in the purple circle is just there temporarily and should change to something else once it starts spawning? I'll wait to see to be able to confirm this.

Also, some more questions.
-Can a lane only be immune to 1 thing at a time?
-is there any way to temporarily hide the UI of the event (that whole section at the bottom, with pump durability and the icons for the lanes). A hotkey for this would be perfect. Because it can block action on screen and get in the way.

Thank you!

Yes, it will start immune to one of the types, and it will only ever be immune to that type. (For full clarity, I believe they're only 'hugely resistant' to that type, not a full on immunity).

No! Yes it's awful and gets in the way all the time along with the building nodes and it will cause you to lose blights or get killed frequently. You just sort of have to learn to avoid it and see past it as best you can.
