The Blight league and Hardcore Blight league are the current challenge leagues.[1] They launched on September 6, 2019.

In this league, the world is infested with Blight, and Sister Cassia tasks the player to defend her Purification Pump as it destroys the Blight's fungal growths. Once agitated, the growth spawns roots that summon waves of monsters to defend it. These monster slowly follow a path along the roots and only stop to attack whatever is in its path, but are unusually tough. To assist with defending the pump, the player can summon Towers near the paths to attack and hinder the monsters. The Blight drops loot when the monsters are defeated, including including special Oils which are used to Anoint items, adding an implicit Enchantment to the item to enhance Blighted maps, improve your towers, or even allocate a notable passive skill from the skill tree, including special skills that can't be allocated normally.

All characters and stashes will be moved to Standard league and Hardcore league respectively when the leagues end. Characters that die in the Hardcore Blight league are immediately moved to the permanent Standard league.
