↖ What is Boss Rushing?

Boss rushing is a strategy where you focus solely on killing map bosses as quickly as possible, without worrying about picking up loot or engaging in other league mechanics. The goal is to complete maps rapidly, obtain boss-specific loot, and trigger influence on your Atlas. This strategy is all about speed and efficiency.

 

↖ Setting Up Your Character Build

To excel at boss rushing, you need a character capable of quickly dispatching map bosses. Glass cannon builds that deal massive damage but lack defense are ideal for this strategy. Popular choices include Blinking Tornado Shot or Frost blades, as they can eliminate bosses with a single shot. The key is to prioritize speed and boss-killing ability over survivability.

↖ Atlas Setup

Your Atlas should be configured to favor specific maps that are ideal for boss rushing. Two recommended maps for this strategy are Crimson Temple and City Square. Crimson Temple is chosen because it's connected to City Square and requires killing mobs on the way to the boss, increasing the chance of map drops. City Square is excellent because the boss is located right at the map's entrance, making it incredibly efficient.

 

Here's a breakdown of key Atlas modifiers for boss rushing:

• Chance to duplicate maps
• Increased chance for map drops
• Chance for conqueror, shaper, and elder map drops
• Chance to drop invitations
• Chance to drop synthesis maps

Additionally, consider allocating points to Wandering Path for easy map sustain during downtime.

 

↖ Executing the Strategy

Now that your character and Atlas are prepared, follow these steps for boss rushing:

• Open a map.
• Rush directly to the boss without engaging in other league mechanics or looting.
• Kill the boss.
• Leave the map immediately.
• Rinse and repeat.

The strategy is all about speed; don't waste time picking up items or engaging in lengthy encounters. Focus solely on killing bosses and collecting invitations and maps.

 

↖ Map Drops and Profits

Boss rushing can be highly profitable. You'll regularly receive invitations, conqueror maps, shaper/elder maps, and various other valuable drops. These can be sold for currency or used to access high-value content, such as Delve or Simulacrum.

Invitations, in particular, can be lucrative, with blue and red invitations fetching high prices. It's essential to keep an eye on the market to maximize your profits.

 

↖ Conclusion

Boss rushing in Path of Exile is an effective strategy for generating currency quickly while minimizing downtime and maximizing efficiency. With the right character build and Atlas setup, you can become a master of boss rushing and amass wealth in no time. So, if you're looking for a straightforward and lucrative way to make currency, give boss rushing a try in your next Path of Exile league!
