Last Epoch S4 Preview: The Rise of Attribute-Scaling Meta and Custom Idol Boards

The latest "toothpaste" for Last Epoch S4 has finally arrived, revealing a wealth of game-changing mechanics through a new video preview that moves beyond simple forum posts. This update introduces a major shift in how players interact with their endgame gear, specifically through a complete reimagining of the idol system and the introduction of a new "Vaal-like" corruption mechanic.

The Evolution of the Idol Grid

The idol system is shedding its rigid constraints through the introduction of customizable idol boards that can be found as new equipment. Players can now obtain "plates" that alter the layout and arrangement of their idol grid, allowing for the placement of more large-scale idols like 1 times 3, 2 times 2, or even 1 times 4 shapes that were previously restricted. Furthermore, these boards appear to feature specialized slots that may grant unique effects or massive numerical bonuses to the idols placed within them, which will significantly empower builds that rely heavily on specific idol affixes, such as reflected damage.

Runes of Corruption and Legendary Scaling

Crafting is also being pushed to the edge with the arrival of corruption runes that function similarly to a "Val Orb". Once an item is corrupted, it becomes permanently locked, meaning no further modifications can be made, and it likely cannot be used as a material for legendary potential crafting. However, the power trade-off is immense; corrupted items have a chance to inherit legendary affixes from other unique items in the same slot—such as a bow gaining a shield's block-triggered death mark—or can even add a fifth affix or set bonuses to exalted items.

The New T0 Attribute-Converting Necklace

Perhaps the most anticipated addition is a new "T0" legendary necklace that drops as a pre-corrupted item. Its primary strength lies in its ability to convert one primary attribute into another, allowing for extreme specialization through multiple conversion lines. Additionally, every 10 points in a converted attribute provides a powerful bonus, such as increased spell area, maximum health, or damage reduction, making it a cornerstone for high-scaling attribute builds across classes like the Necromancer or Paladin.

Class-Specific Innovations and Seasonal Content

Specific classes are seeing innovative new gear, such as a Primalist chest piece that adds an extra projectile to Thorn Totems for every active Crow. This creates a "bullet hell" effect when combined with other uniques that allow Warcry or Upheaval to trigger these totems. Rogue players are getting a shadow-focused set that generates shadows during movement and provides damage reduction based on total attributes, while a new pair of Ice and Fire rings enables a "walking simulator" playstyle by making generated orbs rotate around the player rather than firing outward.

Finally, the seasonal loop is being enhanced by "Cosmic Monolith Chains," which reward players who complete a series of three connected echoes. Reaching the end of this chain opens a special stage with significantly boosted rewards and serves as the primary source for the new seasonal gear and idol plates.
