How Breach works
- Opening a Breach starts an on-screen timer; killing enemies inside it extends the encounter.
- Resist the invasion long enough to stabilise the Breach and fight the strongest Hiveborn within.
- Harvest Hiveblood from slain Hiveborn to fertilise the Genesis Tree, unlocking exclusive new jewellery base types (Wombgifts plus new rings and amulets) with modifiers found nowhere else.
- Pushing into the Hiveborn domain reveals living hives and vast Skyhives, where the Breachlords wait.
